Chapter 578 Luxurious enjoyment
Baltimore is located in the capital of Washington, with a large number of research institutions here. Elder Joseph also protected several fleeing American National Academy of Sciences with a heart for the country and for all mankind. At that time, he was still proud of his righteousness.
But over time, I found that academicians have a useful purpose. They are all old, even in their seventies or eighties, with various illnesses and need special people to serve them. They can't do anything. They are obviously full of knowledge and are not even as good as rice insects, so they are a perfect feces-making machine.
This is like when I bought a high-performance stock. I originally thought it would rise all the way, but it fell all the way, and even lost all my pants. So no matter whether it was a loss or not, Elder Joseph could only pinch his nose and recognize the deal.
Seeing the trembling academicians being sent to a separate rest tent, Elder Joseph could only sigh and sigh that he might have done something good. But what he has to do now is to quickly bring the medicine he received to the shelter.
"Do you want a pot-cup machine?" Seeing Elder Joseph leaving, the handover staff sent by the camp also specifically reminded him.
"Can you give us the pot-camcorder now?" Elder Joseph of course wanted the pot-camcorder. Although the unit power is small and the area is large, it is always stronger than bicycle power generation equipment! And with electricity, there are more things to do.
There is really a pot and camel machine in the temporary camp. It was a backup power generation equipment specially brought by Zhou Qingfeng to leave with the 'nuclear melting battery'. The person who came to hand over nodded affirmatively and said, "We can help you transport it to the shelter and teach you how to install and use it."
"No, no, no, I can send someone to learn how to use it. And we can transport it ourselves." Elder Joseph still kept his bottom line and refused on the spot. He firmly refused to let the people from the operation team enter the shelter, "I can arrange a few soldiers for operation and study now."
The pot cage machine is not a precision equipment, but rather a stupid and antique-grade machine. To put it bluntly, a boiler carries a steam engine, which is a very compact power equipment that can be made relatively small. The action team provides a movable pot cage machine with wheels, twenty-five horsepower and hundreds of kilograms.
To put it bluntly, this thing is burning a stove, how to ignite, how to ensure air pressure, how to deflate when air pressure is high, and some simple fault repairs. More than a dozen soldiers in the shelter here learn how to operate, while Elder Joseph was wandering around the camp, wanting to see this strange team in person.
Due to the large population, the temporary camps became bustling, and everyone had to undergo a simple physical examination, followed by a lot of medication and meals.
The team doctors in the action team only had two or three people, and temporarily pulled a few coolies to be assistants. Seeing the sold people lined up for inspection, this simple scene alone made Elder Joseph feel frightened.
These guys are really luxurious!
First of all, all personnel need to take a bath, of course, they need to take a hot bath. When taking a bath, they need to have a water pump to pump water. The water extracted is sent to a field cooking truck, which has a high-power electric heater, which can provide hundreds of liters of boiling water every minute.
This is just a lot of power consumption!
This power consumption alone is not provided by a pot and tumbler. Could it be that these guys have more than one pot and tumbler? No wonder they generously gave us one. The elder thought so.
After taking a shower, people were naked in the bathroom for physical examination. Many people were skinny and had various diseases. The doctors immediately opened the medicine box carried by the convoy and used all kinds of scarce drugs like they didn't have money.
When you find that you are treated well, all the people who are sold are relieved. This is not treating yourself as a slave or as food. This is truly treating yourself as a useful person.
Elder Joseph was frightened and confirmed again that the people in this armed convoy were really not short of medicine. The medicine they spent on various shelter personnel several times more than they gave to the shelter.
"It's strange, where do these people come from? They only have more than twenty cars, and they can't meet the survival needs of hundreds of people no matter what!" Elder Joseph still felt incredible. In fact, the camp had become very crowded, and the people who were sheltered had to live in densely in some tents.
What surprised the elder even more was that the convoy actually served midnight snacks. He saw boxes of noodles being moved from several light trucks until they were empty. This noodles, called "Supreme" were cooked in boiling water for a few minutes and then taken out and eaten. It was extremely delicious after being served with the sauce.
"Elder Joseph, this is your noodles." The cook took the initiative to give a plate full of food and reminded: "Eat quickly, it will be colder."
In order to keep warm, everyone gathered in a large tent to eat noodles, and there were several light boilers burning in the tent, which at least increased the temperature of more than ten degrees below zero. This made people feel much warmer.
After a bite of hot noodles, the aroma of oil directly arouses people's appetite. A plate of noodles is snoring, making people feel warm all over. What surprised the elder even more was that the noodles here are eaten open, eat open, eat open!
I remember that the Elders of the Shelter had fought their lives and paid hundreds of people to grab tens of thousands of tons of supplies in the city. But these supplies now seem to be unable to meet the needs of the shelter, otherwise so many people would not have been hungry.
And how luxurious is this fleet? Where do they get the confidence to make people open up?
Elder Joseph sat in the crowd of people eating and found that the people who were eating came and went, leaving after eating, without stopping. He asked a few questions and learned that these people still had to work after they were full.
"It's late at night, what else do you want to do?" Elder Joseph knew that although the worst stage of nuclear winter had left, it was still dripping water into ice at night. Do you still have to work in this environment?
"We all want to work. Only by working can we have food and live." The person who spoke was a middle-aged white woman who ate noodles silently, and then took the plate and left.
"Patty, you are Patty." Elder Joseph recognized the woman in front of him. This was the first woman to be traded yesterday. At that time, she was dumb and looked like a fool, but in just one day, this woman who was about to starve to death was revitalized.
"Yes, I am Patty. Elder. Thank you very much for trading me out, otherwise I will die. And here, I have hope of living again." The white woman said politely, but her tone and eyes were inevitably filled with resentment. In the shelter, she is the lowest class of worthlessness. This means she does not even have the most basic survival guarantee.
Seeing that the woman who was as humble as an ant dared to sarcastically at him, Elder Joseph couldn't help but say with a stern face: "It seems that you have integrated into this team, but I don't like you at all. You are very happy to eat and drink so happily now. But tomorrow and the day after tomorrow? How many days can your leader last?"
Unexpectedly, the white woman was not depressed at all, but sneered: "Elder, you don't have to worry about this. With the legion commander here, we can keep going. As for the food and drink in front of us, this is too slight. We will clear a runway that can land, and a transport plane will be transported to replenish supplies tomorrow."
