After a night of fighting, which was more of a one-sided massacre than a battle, the entire base was surrounded by monster corpses.
The monster corpse left a thick fishy smell in the surrounding area. This smell was no less than the smell left by the corpses of small octopus heads all over the ground after the typhoon.
Gu Zhuo asked everyone in the base to wear protective clothing, and asked the robot butler to help gather all the monster corpses on the ground to use as raw materials to refine energy for Xia Ran.
As for Sam and the white wolves, their sense of smell is too keen, and they might die on the spot if they smell this smell. It is better to let them stay in the stone hall and come out after everything is tidied up.
Others helped carry the corpses, and Gu Zhuo used the two robotic arms of the Doomsday Fortress to also be busy transporting the monster corpses.
When Chaoying designed the transformation of the entire base, he specifically left an energy port that could input energy into the entire base. If there is too much energy, it can be temporarily stored in the base to prepare for the future.
Gu Zhuo asked Akashi and others to pile the monster corpses at the energy outlet of the base. Soon, a hill was piled up in front of the energy outlet.
Xia Ran is just a little girl with little strength. Chaoying is busy deciphering the functions of those formulas, and also designing the drawings of Gu Zhuo's doomsday mecha. After all, the doomsday mecha is just a mechanic who temporarily follows the thoughts in Gu Zhuo's mind, and quickly
After being built, many details still need to be perfected.
In addition to these two people, even Yue Cen was involved in the removal of the monster's corpse.
Seeing that the monster corpses at the energy port had piled up into a mountain, Gu Zhuo asked a few people to take a short break and let Xia Ran decompose the first batch of monster corpses first.
Hearing this, Xia Ran put on protective clothing and stood in front of the pile of corpses. Next to the pile of corpses, there was an oil pump.
The smell of a pile of monster corpses is very strong, and most people might have fainted long ago, but after standing here for so long, Xia Ran has become somewhat accustomed to the smell. Although it still feels pungent, at least it is not too pungent.
Big reaction.
She looked at the pile of corpses, and then stood in front of the pile of corpses for a while without making any move.
Akashi and others had only heard Gu Zhuo talk about it, and had only seen Gu Zhuo and Chaoying's powers with their own eyes. This was the first time Xia Ran had seen them.
Her ability is very abstract. There is currently no movement in this pile of corpses. Several people are waiting motionless, not knowing what will happen next moment.
After waiting for a while, I saw the pile of corpses twitching, and then the oil pump also started shaking, as if it was filled with something and was about to burst.
"Quick, the energy has been extracted. Hurry and stuff it into the energy port!"
Gu Zhuo saw this and shouted quickly.
Jia Sheng's reaction was the fastest. He stepped forward, picked up the oil pump from the ground, and then inserted the other end into the opened energy port. As soon as he inserted it, he heard a "gurgling sound"
The sound of "gurgling" is like a river being poured into it.
As the monster corpses gradually disappeared, the sound of the oil pump became louder and louder, as if it was operating overload.
This process lasted for ten minutes. After ten minutes, all the monster corpses originally piled on the ground disappeared without realizing it. The sound of the oil pump gradually subsided and there was no movement.
"The corpses of the first batch of monsters have been solved, and the amount of energy converted is estimated to be enough to run the entire base for two to three months, without any problems at all."
Xia Ran breathed a sigh of relief and turned to Gu Zhuo.
After hearing this, Gu Zhuo asked the mechanic and asked him to scan the entire base. Sure enough, he concluded that the amount of fuel stored in the base is enough to fully operate the base for two months.
"Okay, I didn't expect that the first batch of monsters has already reached the amount of energy we want. Let's continue to process all the monster corpses in the base. The excess energy will be stored. Energy is the same as materials, forever.
Never too little, never too much.”
Gu Zhuo and several others arrived to give orders.
After hearing Gu Zhuo's instructions, several people were unambiguous. Although they only rested for ten minutes, they quickly regained their energy and continued to work.
It took a whole day to move them, starting from early in the morning and ending at about four o'clock in the afternoon. All the monster corpses were decomposed. Sure enough, it would be beneficial to have more manpower in the base.
Xia Ran's ability transformed these "raw materials" seamlessly. Apart from some vague odor, there were no remains of corpses left in the base.
Let the robot butler clean up the area around the base again. After all, the stench permeating the air will not make people feel good.
With so many raw materials, and they can be considered "high-quality" raw materials, the amount of energy extracted by Xia Ran has reached a terrifying level.
The energy currently stored in the base is enough to continue operating for a year without any supplies. Moreover, the base's backup energy storage has exceeded the storage limit.
As a last resort, Gu Zhuo and others found several large oil barrels and filled the entire fuel tank of the Doomsday Fortress before they could manage to store this huge amount of energy.
After being busy all day, several people did not eat a mouthful of hot rice except for a few sips of water. Gu Zhuo was busy with everything, and the smell in the base was almost gone. At least it would not affect everyone's appetite. Gu Zhuo let
Everyone went to rest, those who ate, those who ate, and those who lay down.
Akashi and others' dinner was very simple, which was military compressed biscuits.
There is no doubt that it came from the government again.
The real military compressed biscuits actually taste very bad and taste like chewing gum. In addition to supplementing the proper nutrition and making people feel less hungry, the texture and taste are almost useless.
The purpose of this is also very clear, that is, they are afraid that the military compressed biscuits will taste so good that soldiers will eat them as snacks in peacetime. In this way, in a truly critical moment, there will be no food reserves.
There was an example like this before. Because the military compressed biscuits distributed to an army were so delicious, the soldiers ate the compressed biscuits as snacks when they had nothing to do. As a result, they were really out of ammunition and food, and they didn't even have a single compressed biscuit.
Already.
Those compressed biscuits sold on the market before tasted pretty good, and they tasted almost like ordinary biscuits. But those were all concessions for sales. They were definitely not authentic military compressed biscuits, at least not authentic wartime ones.
Emergency rations.
It's so hard to swallow, it's like biting down a piece of food. Akashi and the others have been eating it till now.
There is no way, compressed biscuits have the smallest size, are best stored, and have a long storage time. They will not go bad easily and can also supplement the nutrients they need.
The most important thing is that they have no other options besides compressed cookies.
Gu Zhuo saw that their dinner was so simple, just drink a sip of water first, then eat a biscuit, and finally drink a sip of water. This way of eating can make the compressed biscuits expand in the stomach, fill the stomach, and make people feel full.
Stomach feeling.
At this time, they had just taken a sip of water and were about to take a bite of the compressed biscuit with a frown on their face, when Gu Zhuo suddenly spoke to them:
"Hey, don't eat those things yet. You'll get depressed sooner or later if you eat those things every day. Come down, I'll prepare dinner for you!"
After he finished speaking, he asked Akashi and others to get out of the car.
Akashi and others had long been unwilling to eat something that was harder to chew than tree bark. They carefully put the compressed biscuits back into the bag, saving them for next time, and then got out of the car.
Gu Zhuo set up a table and brought out some plastic stools, asking a few people to sit here and wait. Jia Sheng and Xia Ran were originally going to cook some porridge on the helicopter, but now they asked Akashi and others to
Fu also sat down at the table, waiting for the dinner prepared by Gu Zhuo.
There was no fresh meat on the Doomsday Fortress. Gu Zhuo went to the storage compartment to get some canned luncheon meat and opened it. He then went to the second floor and picked out all the ripe vegetables.
He took these back to the kitchen. Naturally, it was not him who wanted to cook it himself, but Chaoying. After Chaoying knew what Gu Zhuo meant, he simply put all the ingredients in the pot, added a lot of water, a lot of seasonings, and cooked
It became a pot of chaos.
When the big pot of vegetable lunch broth was brought out, it was a rare delicacy for Akashi and others.
Just like the Soviets in the last century who fought in the ice and snow and had a hard time eating such a pot of soup. For Akashi and others, this is the best comfort.
What's more, Gu Zhuo rarely opened the can of luncheon meat that he had been storing, and Chaoying added enough seasonings. The soup tastes very fresh, and it can be considered a hearty dinner on weekdays.
"How can anyone bear to eat compressed biscuits all the time? When I was in the war, I had nothing else to eat, so I could only eat those biscuits. After I ate one, I would vomit once. It really drove me crazy."
Gu Zhuo took a bowl, sat down with Chaoying, and told Akashi and others about the past.
He used to eat like this during the heat of the war, drinking water, eating biscuits, drinking water, and in the end there was nothing in his stomach except biscuit crumbs.
"You helped me so much last night, and you worked so hard during the day today. I can't bear to let you eat those things again."
Akashi filled a bowl of soup and listened to what Gu Zhuo said, but he was still a little worried in his heart:
"Can the food in your car withstand the food we make like this? Now there are not two people alone, but there are quite a lot of people. It's impossible to eat like this all the time. Gu Zhuo, this meal is enough for today, we still have to continue tomorrow
Eat compressed cookies again..."
"Farming."
Gu Zhuo raised his head, pointed to the agricultural greenhouse nearby, and said,
"You brought so many seeds, aren't they just for farming?"
As soon as they heard about farming, everyone raised their heads and looked at Gu Zhuo eagerly.
This is a gene rooted in their hearts. Unexpectedly, they would have the opportunity to farm again!
