"How many people are there?" Steve was curious about how many people Fording could bring back this time. The information revealed in David's words seemed to be a lot of people: "If there are a lot of people, should we start building a few wooden houses in advance?"
David originally wanted to wait until Van Cleef gave a clear reply before considering this matter. Now thinking about it, maybe it is not impossible to build a few wooden houses similar to dormitories in advance. Even if Van Cleef finally rejected David's invitation, the craftsmen of the Stonemasons Union
None of us have come to Cold Winter Village, but other people will come to the village in the future and need additional accommodation.
"How about building just behind the canteen? Build two big houses first." Behind the canteen, to the north, are the houses of farmers, one after another extending to the north.
However, the canteen itself occupies a relatively large area. Even if there are these farmers' houses, there is still enough space to build two large wooden houses.
"Did you just convert the cafeteria into a hotel?"
"Isn't this good?"
David did not ignore Leonard when talking to Steve, and introduced him to the environment of the village, such as the canteen, blacksmith shop, public water area, etc.
"Is this tap water?" Leonard initially thought that this was a very 'ancient' village, but after walking a few steps he saw a faucet. There were similar tap water facilities or 'faucets' in ancient times, but it was definitely not the one in front of him.
It looks like this is obviously a modern craft product.
"It's barely considered tap water." David introduced: "The water is pumped from the Winter River, filtered and purified, and then transported to the water storage equipment here. People in the village can directly draw water here."
"Solar and wind power generation." David smiled and pointed to the distance. The wind power generation device was actually quite conspicuous: "Besides there, there is also a diesel generator in the village."
"No." David hasn't figured out how to get to these worlds yet. In fact, he also wants to visit Mars.
The generator was hidden on the "side" of Laura's house. It didn't look anything special from the outside. You had to open the "wooden door" to see the generator, so Leonard didn't notice it before.
Leonard's exaggerated reaction shocked Squirtle. If it weren't for a bunch of acquaintances standing around him, Squirtle would have opened his mouth and sprayed Leonard in the face.
He was now full of expectations and wanted to know what other familiar people he could meet in this magical village.
"Yes, this is Leonard Hofstadter."
"Then you didn't introduce Steve to him?"
"Cool!" Leonard thought that this good treatment made people wonder if it was some kind of scam? But after thinking about it, he seemed to have nothing worth deceiving. People in another world would never covet the rocket fuel he studied.
Information? It seems that these people can’t use it.
David's explanation did not calm Leonard down. The Caltech physicist was so excited that he took out the aerosol sprayer he carried with him. After taking two puffs, he replied to David in a tight voice:
"I didn't say before that you still have Squirtle from the Pokémon world here."
"Laura." Before David could speak, Mark, who knew what Leonard wanted to know, had already said a name: "Laura Crawford."
"real?"
"It's not that troublesome. You can live here as long as you want." David told Leonard about the situation of Winter Village, including the development order of Tilan Kingdom. Winter Village evolved from a pioneer camp to a village.
, and it has only been officially established for less than a year: "Winter Village currently welcomes everyone who wants to come and live."
Resisting the urge to roll his eyes, Mark didn't know that the dignified Captain America had such a natural side before: "I think you may have made some mistakes."
"Calm down, Leonard, this is indeed Squirtle. Like you, he came from another world."
Turning his head to look at Captain America again, Leonard's expression of looking at his idol made Steve feel very familiar, as if he had gone back to the time when he first joined the army seventy years ago.
"Relax, follow me, inhale~exhale~" Steve stood nearby, watching Leonard's overly excited reaction, and immediately asked him to take a deep breath with him to relax.
"Parallel world theory?"
"So...there is actually a generator in this world?" Leonard looked around. He thought he had guessed wrong before. In fact, the level of civilization in this world was not low. It was just that the village was remote and sparsely populated, which made it look backward.
David: "..."
"Wow!"
"Yes." Mark began to figure out the situation when he saw Leonard, and introduced himself in more detail: "Mark Watney, a botanist, was trapped in the Mars base because of the Mars exploration plan, and then came to Lin
Dongcun is now considered a farmer in the village, farming in the village while waiting for rescue on Mars."
"So good?" Leonard smiled: "As long as I am willing, I can automatically obtain the qualification to live in Winter Village? Then I can become a villager in Winter Village now?"
"I am indeed Steve Rogers, and I do have the title of Captain America."
"What a pity, it doesn't seem to be possible yet." Mark glanced at David, his eyes full of questions: "It's not possible yet, right?"
"Mark Watney, just call me Mark." Walking out of the farmland, Mark took off his gloves and shook hands with Leonard. As for the strange expression on the other person's face, he pretended he didn't see it: "Welcome to the
Winter Village."
Leonard wanted to reach out and shake Rogers' hand a few more times. He raised his hand and immediately took it back, rubbing it on his clothes a few times before stretching it out. Steve didn't dislike it at all, still maintaining a friendly smile and talking to Leonard.
De shook hands again.
But it doesn’t matter, there are still many surprises today, such as Captain America next to me.
Ignoring Steve's questions, Mark and Leonard briefly explained the situation: "David may not have had time to explain to you before, but we all actually come from different worlds. Even if we are all from the earth,
It’s not the same Earth.”
Mark looked at Leonard's reaction and immediately understood the key. He turned to look at David: "You didn't explain the situation here to him?"
"Wait a minute." Although Leonard was in a state of excitement, he did not miss the conversations of several people around him. His smart brain immediately made him realize that his previous guess seemed to be the truth: "You mean, you are really Shi
Tevon Grant Rogers? AKA Captain America?”
mark:"……"
Leonard couldn't help but feel strange, because there was another familiar face in front of him. Originally, the magical phenomenon of time travel had made him believe that he had really arrived in another world, but seeing two familiar faces in a row made him doubt himself again.
Have you been tricked? Isn't this the recording site of some variety show?
"Leonard, nice to meet you, Mark." Leonard was debating whether he should question it or not. The next second he saw Squirtle following Mark: "Pokémon? Oh, I bought it. This is Squirtle."
Nigui?”
"Mars exploration plan? Mars base?" Leonard looked at Mark Watney in front of him, and he gradually understood what was going on: "Dr. Leonard Hofstadter, experimental physicist at Caltech
…Are you really on Mars? Can I go and see it?”
"Everything is fine. As long as the temperature doesn't suddenly plummet in the past half month, these crops can be harvested smoothly." Mark looked at Leonard a few times: "Newcomer?"
"These machines and equipment were specially sent by a friend. She is from the earth like you." David emphasized this point: "She thinks the environment here is good and wants to treat it as another home."
After looking at Mark and David, Leonard didn't understand why he asked specifically, but he still understood the sentence "can't go to Mars" and was a little disappointed.
"What? Me? I guess no introduction is needed, right? Leonard knows my full name." Steve obviously hasn't figured out what's going on now: "I don't think David even knew my full name before today.
."
"Mark, how's the situation?"
"I'm explaining." David pointed at Mark: "By the way, I'll introduce you to him."
"Oh!" Leonard nodded: "It is indeed beautiful here."
"So, are you really Captain Steve Rogers?"
"Look, I'm just saying he knows me."
There are no restrictions on entry or immigration, you can come as long as you want to.
"Yes!"
"Are there any conditions for settling here?" Leonard did not ignore that David's 'friend' bought a lot of machinery and equipment for the village chief: "For example, some investment is needed.
What?"
There are beautiful natural scenery and fresh air, including forests, mountains, rivers, and grasslands. Living in this environment, he feels that his asthma will be cured. If possible, he would also like to settle here in his spare time.
Come here for vacation.
Following David, he continued to walk forward, and within a few steps he reached the farmland area. Leonard noticed the man who was observing back and forth in the field. The man's appearance made him stunned again. For such a moment, he was confused with the man opposite.
They looked at each other.
"Using water pumps and water purification equipment? Where's the power?" Leonard was curious about this: "Is it using some magical power?"
"Wow, I shook hands with Captain America." Leonard thought of Squirtle next to him again, but Squirtle seemed to be avoiding him, so he gave up unwillingly and turned to look at David next to him: "
Who else is in the village?"
"Really, the equipment I just told you was sent by Laura." David nodded to Leonard, whose eyes were shining: "She is in the village now, but she is resting, maybe
You can see her soon."
"It's incredible!" Leonard smiled like an eight-year-old child who fell into a pile of toys: "Who else is there?"
