"Winter Village?" After thinking for a few seconds, David did not choose to copy it directly, but slightly 'changed' it, so that the meaning was completely changed, and he should not be associated with that unlucky family.
"Winter Village? It sounds good. According to your previous description, this name reflects the characteristics of this place very well." Fording learned from David that this is a very cold area, and winter is particularly difficult.
"Since you think it's good, let's call it this name!" David took out the development order that he always carried with him, and then wrote the name of the village 'Winter Village' on it: "The big river next to it
It can be called Cold Winter River."
David, who wanted to save trouble, also named the river next to him. Anyway, according to the laws of the kingdom, he had the right to name the river. If two pioneering teams named the same river, who would
The Kingdom decides which name to use as its official name.
David felt that this would not happen this time. Among the pioneering teams that set out in the same batch, no one went farther north than theirs. As for the trail that flows from the iron tree forest from south to north and finally merges into the Winter River,
It is possible that this river was named by another pioneering team.
Watching David write a few strokes on a scroll and then carefully put it away, Fording asked curiously: "Does this make it a recognized territory of the Tilan Kingdom?"
"No." David shook his head and said it was not that simple: "To become a formal village, it must at least have a stable residence, fields that can continue to produce food, and a certain number of villagers."
You also need to take the development order and report it to the department that specializes in handling such matters. Then the relevant department will send officials to conduct on-site inspections. After confirming the situation of the village, various information, including newly drawn maps, will be compiled into files and reported.
Finally, a formal appointment will be issued to the village chief. Only then will it be considered that he has truly opened up new land for the kingdom and has become a 'little lord' officially recognized by the kingdom.
"So troublesome?" Fording didn't expect that the 'appointment' of a village chief would be so cumbersome.
By the time he finished washing, Fording had already gotten up and was moving his limbs in front of the cabin like David before. However, compared to David, Fording's activities looked much more ferocious.
If you get hit by the arm, it will definitely not end well.
"You just don't know what minerals are nearby?"
"Is this a joke, right? Or am I dreaming! If this is another world, why do you speak English?" Mark kept asking while rubbing his temples, still not believing that he had inexplicably arrived in another world.
"Hello, this is Winter Village, and I am the village leader David." David was still looking at the other person. This man had a 'familiar' appearance, but he couldn't be sure of his identity for a while.
Looking at the newcomer carefully, he found that he was of average height and not unusual in appearance. He was dressed a bit strangely and was looking around with a confused expression.
Getting up from the bed, David added some firewood to the fire to make it burn more vigorously, and then hung the large pot of broth on the bonfire so that the broth could be eaten when he came back from washing.
As for the Mark Watney in front of him, David could confirm after observing that he was probably not the Mark who had struggled to survive on Mars for a period of time. At that time, Mark was thin and suffered from many illnesses due to insufficient nutritional intake.
In the film The Martian, botanist Mark Watney lands on Mars as a member of a Mars exploration mission. However, he is thought dead by his teammates in an accident, and is therefore left alone on Mars.
"This is the northernmost area of the Kingdom of Tilan... I know you want to ask where the Kingdom of Tilan is. Next, I will briefly explain various situations."
"Is it because the situation is special?"
After walking out of the wooden house and breathing the cold air, David briefly moved his body, got some water and started to wash up.
As long as I can maintain the normal use of Goldfinger, it will be quite interesting to send him a super genius someday. Then it will be quite interesting to set up an industrial base.
"To build a well, do you need stones?" Fording didn't know exactly how to make a well, but he had the impression that a well requires stones.
"Hello." Mark shook hands with Fording again, and then faced David and asked: "Winter Village... where is it?"
Anyway, there are only two people living in the village. Going to the river to fetch water is just a little troublesome, not an urgent problem that needs to be solved.
"It seems that someone new has appeared." Fording knew that there was only Laura in front of him, so this stranger was the new person who appeared for the first time.
After thinking wildly for a while, David drifted into sleep. When he opened his eyes again, the sky was already slightly bright.
When it came to professional masonry work, both men were silent.
"This language called English is something I just learned not long ago. An English speaker came to me before you." It sounds unbelievable to suddenly learn a new language. David just changed it.
This way of describing it becomes much easier to accept.
"Let's build the shelter first!"
When David and Fording saw this situation, their first reaction was that Laura was coming again, but it didn't take long for them to realize that they had guessed wrong.
He turned around and looked to the side. The fire was almost extinguished. Fording was lying on his bed and resting. The water, broth and weapons and medicines placed next to him had not been touched. It seemed that after falling asleep last night, Laura
Never came again.
After telling Mark Watney about the situation, the newcomer immediately fell into huge self-doubt. He felt that he was crazy, or else he was dreaming.
It was precisely with such benefits that David joined the pioneering team. However, at the beginning, he did not expect that he could become the village chief. At that time, he wanted to see if he could become a knight and break away from the civilian class.
.
For example, if the land is barren and it is difficult for crops to survive, he can ask Laura to buy some cold-resistant, easy-to-survive, high-yielding crop seeds in her world, and he can even ask her to buy some fertilizers and other things to improve the land conditions.
At present, his biggest reliance is the golden finger that attracts people from all over the world. As long as he makes good use of it, the current problems are not difficult to solve.
The entire film tells the story of how Mark Watney survived in the harsh environment of Mars and waited for rescue.
Now... his idea has become very simple: now that he has taken this position, he must sit more securely. He has already begun to think about how to develop the village.
Looking at the reaction of the man in front of him, David carefully recalled the information about Mark Watney: From the man's face, David judged that Mark Watney was the protagonist of the movie version of The Martian.
Strictly speaking, David is barely a minor lord, but it has not yet become a formal one.
"However, this doesn't seem like a bad thing to me." Thinking about the dilemma he was about to face, he felt that maybe God was helping him and giving him a new lease of life.
Just when David was thinking about whether to wait until Laura solved this trouble and returned home to the UK, and let her send David cement, bricks, glass and other building materials to build a beautiful and comfortable house directly,
That vague figure appeared in his sight again.
Even if these two methods don't work, David is not ready to give up this place - if it can't be used as a food base, why not do something else?
After the activity, Fording wiped his face with water and asked David about his plan.
A person who holds a development order to establish a village cannot be regarded as an ordinary village chief, because he has great autonomy and is even qualified to expand and upgrade the village. This is completely different from the village chiefs within the kingdom. If he can
Expand the size of the village within the number of years. If the population reaches a sufficient number, you can be directly promoted to the mayor of the town, and this land will become its territory.
A lot of wood was cut yesterday, and David also hunted several gray wolves. There is no shortage of food or wood. Maybe he should consider building a house?
"Or, dig a well first?"
As for the house, if you cannot build a strong and warm house as soon as possible, you will suffer again in the winter.
"So that's it."
He can also wait until his relationship with Fording is better, and then ask Fording to find druids for help and get some special seeds to improve the land conditions.
Soon, the other party noticed David and Fording standing in front of the wooden house, and walked over without hesitation: "Hello, may I ask where this place is?"
"My name is Tirion Fordring." (David serves as translator)
Sure enough, with just such an explanation, Mark no longer struggled with language issues, and just continued to be shocked at how he had arrived in another world?
"Any plans for today?"
"Laura?"
The figure gradually became clearer, and both of them had very good eyesight. They immediately saw clearly that the person coming was not Laura, but a man.
"Hello, I'm Mark Watney!" Mark Watney stretched out his hand and shook it with David. He seemed to be confirming something. He shook David's hand a little harder, with a flash of light on his face from time to time.
Doubt: "This is..."
After figuring this out, Mark, who was optimistic by nature, no longer struggled with it. A smile appeared on his face again, and he re-introduced himself slightly solemnly: "Mark Watney, botanist, NASA astronaut
, before I came to you again, I was working on Mars exploration. I encountered some small troubles, maybe I need your help."
David listened to Mark's introduction and guessed what state Mark Watney was currently in - the period when he was just forgotten on Mars.
"Can you tell me in detail what kind of trouble it is?"
"If possible... I would like to live in your village for a while."
