Chapter 6 The Journey of Discovery (1)
"Ah snee! The wind seems to be getting stronger and stronger in this ghost place."
As a cold wind blows in front of him, Wu Han sneezes, and then he complains habitually. Now Wu Han is holding a hammer in his hand, a white safety rope tied around his waist, and a bright yellow plastic safety helmet. This outfit is very professional, and it is enough to pretend to be an engineer. It's not that Wu Han likes this equipment himself, but he really can't stand the ladies' nagging about safety first. It's purely for the sake of a clean ear, he armed himself with kindness.
Not long ago, the survivor of Peach Blossom Land has never conducted a systematic investigation. It was not until this time that the idea of leaving the mountain was proposed that everyone began to notice this issue.
In Wu Han's opinion, it was obvious that the situation was not good with only the naked eye. In the canyon, those hard rock walls as hard as iron can now see traces of water flow left by flooding everywhere. The fresh damage left by hard objects such as stones rolled up by the torrent is even more shocking, especially the raised rocks hanging high above the road, which seems to be trembling from time to time as a gust of mountain wind blows, making people dizzy.
It is unknown whether it is possible to know that under the acceleration of gravity, these single stones with weights ranging from several kilograms to several tons fall from above, the consequences are unimaginable. The top of the head is unsafe, and the old combat readiness road under his feet is unusually durable. According to Wu Han's inspection in the past two days, the road is slightly damaged. As long as it is not the type of truck with a certified load of two tons, it is necessary to pull a truck with more than 20 tons of cargo by, generally there should be no danger in passing. Wu Han swung his hammer and knocked the foundation on the side of the roadside twice. After confirming that the roadbed below did not have loosening and cracking problems, he was too lazy to repeat this boring task, and stood up and turned back.
After dinner, the survivors who had been busy all day still sat around the dining table in the cafeteria, while experiencing the fun of comfort, while listening to Wu Han's brief outdoor inspection report from home.
After Wu Han roughly summarized the results of this trip in a few words, he held the teacup in his hand and shook his head and said:
"The highway is OK, but we don't have transportation and we don't even have bicycles. Are you planning to walk out of the mountain with your feet? I have to remind you that this is a mountain road worth dozens of kilometers!"
Although the first step of the outing plan was generally smooth, the next thing was not so smooth. As Wu Han said, the road was not a big problem, but the flood had already wiped out all the means of transportation and no bicycle left behind. Nowadays, the only ready-made means of transportation is the electric vehicle that can only be used for short-distance transportation in the cave greenhouse. Anyone can understand that such a small car that requires frequent charging and cannot withstand bumps cannot run long distances. If there is no car to carry, just walking on the two legs of a person, I am afraid that when I set out in the morning and walk until dusk, I will only calculate that the distance will be just out of the mountain.
This means that survivors must be prepared every time they go out and sleep in the wild without any restraint at night. There is no doubt that this is an extremely risky behavior. If the character is not good enough, the shadow of death may come anytime and anywhere, so to go out, you must first solve the difficult problem of transportation.
After listening to Wu Han's analysis, the women looked at each other and after looking around, their eyes focused on someone. Zhou Chen stood up with a smile and came behind Wu Han, put his hands on his shoulders, and said in a voice that seemed to be infinitely gentle:
"Since that's the case, we all depend on you. How hard can those who are capable do! Sisters, go fight for the Landlord!"
After saying that, Zhou Chen led a group of women's soldiers to flash freely, leaving only Wu Han, who was forcibly pulled the strong man, dazed at the table and bowls.
As the saying goes, smart people move their mouths, stupid people run away. The beauties' whim want to go out and see the outside world, which forced Wu Han to rack his brains to solve a series of problems. After thinking hard for a long time, Wu Han finally got an idea. Then he ran to the cave where waste materials were piled up and continued the promising career of picking up rags.
Hard work pays off. After a few days of hard work, while Wu Han made himself dirty, he also got some useful raw materials. Although such as the old cross-dump motorcycle engine and rusted tricycle skeleton, as well as a bunch of messy parts and wires, these things are just right to sell waste to ordinary people, but considering the embarrassing reality of being in trouble after the nuclear war, even these rags are considered valuable resources, and there is really nothing to be picky about. The basic materials are barely collected, which does not mean that everything is good. In fact, on the contrary, the real more difficult things are still to come!
Relying on his old foundation of learning mechanical maintenance for a few days in the past, Wu Han looked up books and searched materials and drew pictures to prepare preliminary design plans, and started to knock and mock the car. However, the job of saving a car is different from the simplest thing as a computer, and it is completely inexperienced. It is destined to pay a lot of tuition to get started.
The design drawings are quite good. If you make some mistakes, you have to rework halfway through the process. In this way, Wu Han relied on the counterfeit spirit of making steel in the countryside to piece together a diesel-electric tricycle. The appearance of this tricycle is similar to those three-wheeled agricultural vehicles that often run wildly on the countryside sand and gravel roads, leaving behind dust. The extremely ugly surface of the car body still has its true nature of steel and dense welding points. It is really not easy to praise Wu Han's skills, but it can actually make such a bunch of rags move. After running around, it is not easy to fall apart!
After completing the test run, Wu Han confidently painted a layer of bright red paint for the tricycle with a designed load of one and a half tons and a certified crew of five. Then, he called the ladies to visit his works and got a lot of words that expressed surprise as he wished.
Although there were not many praises for Wu Han's craftsmanship, the women reluctantly gave a little praise in order to finally get out of the valley. Everything is ready, but the east wind is not difficult. It is not difficult to go out. The problem is that the world outside the mountain is so big, where should we go? It was not until this time that the survivors were embarrassed to find that after a long time of trouble, everyone had not set their goal of exploration.
It was another dinner meeting for several days. The survivors held a map of provinces worth one to one hundred thousand, and studied and discussed it back and forth several times. Finally, they decided to draw a circle on a town near the Peach Blossom Land.
This small small place that is extremely inconspicuous on the map has become the first stop for the exploration journey of the survivors of Peach Blossom Land. Wu Han, who strongly recommended this place, had some considerations in his mind. In the past year, too many things have happened. There is no need to say much about the nuclear war that almost destroyed the entire world. Next is the nuclear winter that lasted for a year, and finally the flood and the storm that followed.
I believe that any person with normal intelligence can understand a basic fact if he thinks quietly. What an indomitable cockroach life is needed to survive many disasters and persevere in such a harsh environment.
Although it seems that it is suspected of belittleing his own race, Wu Han basically does not have any fantasy about the possibility of discovering survivors when going out. There are many reasons for choosing Xin'an Town. First of all, Xin'an Town is far away from the central city and has a limited number of residents. This place will never be chosen for nuclear strikes. Xin'an Town is an ordinary small town with no military value or economic value, and even transportation is not very convenient. In short, this goal is not worth attacking in the eyes of military strategists. More importantly, Xin'an Town is located in a hilly area, with a natural terrain, which is conducive to drainage.
