Chapter 246: Chapter 101 Ideological Construction

As the progress of the second phase of the cold start continued, the operations at Base 011 were gradually getting on track.

The residents of Yellow Stone City spent an entire day familiarizing themselves with the environment here, but they soon realized that quickly adapting to life here wasn’t as simple as it seemed.

Compared to Yellow Stone City, the fundamental conditions at Base 011 are more than just a bit better.

Almost constant temperature, abundant food, ample lighting, a stable environment...

In a certain sense, this is almost a paradise on the wasteland.

But on the other hand, if you expand the scope from the concept of Base 011 construction to Base 011 itself, the uncertainty increases exponentially.

First, this base is open.

It’s not surrounded by water on all sides like Yellow Stone City, able to provide continuous food and security guarantees.

Secondly, as the core area of the former nest of second-level monsters, the monster density here is much higher than in Yellow Stone City.

Even after losing the second-level monster as the "main brain," the various fungi here are decaying and withering at an alarming rate, but the symbiotic monsters that originally lived here did not die out because of this.

The monsters that were frightened away from the core area have returned.

Though the unmanned defense systems controlled by Fu Xi cleared them one by one, the continuous gunfire still caused unease among the residents.

Thus, on the second day, people spontaneously organized themselves and began their usual training.

At six in the morning, when the faint sound of "one, two, three, four" commands woke up Chen Jian, he was somewhat dazed.

He thought that the memories of wastelands and the apocalypse were just a dream, and he was still lying on his own bed in the barracks.

----But unfortunately, when he opened his eyes, what he saw was still a simple partition set up by Fu Xi.

"Good morning, Commander."

"The current time is January 1, 2376, a new year has begun."

"The other comrades have already gone out to start training, but they haven’t had breakfast yet."

"That’s not scientific, maybe we should try to make some adjustments to their eating habits."

"Sure."

Yawning, Chen Jian got up, dressed, and walked out of the partition, while at the same time, Lei Jie and others also rubbed their eyes and walked out.

"Damn... these people got up way too early."

"It’s just six o’clock, and they’re already training?"

"Yeah."

Chen Jian nodded and said:

"They haven’t even had breakfast yet---- according to wasteland habits, most civilians don’t eat breakfast."

"I guess Huang Yu didn’t arrange it either, go check what supplies were brought back yesterday, and throw something together with some canned food for breakfast."

"Fu Xi, can you handle it?"

Lei Jie instinctively asked, and Fu Xi immediately responded:

"The facility does not have the conditions for lighting a fire, nor does it have the necessary tools."

"I can dispatch two or three swarm robots to stand by outside the facility, if the tools are prepared, I can take over."

"Then you do it."

Lei Jie didn’t really want to do it himself, so he cheerfully said:

"It’s great to have automation, even cooking is done by robots."

"Hey, speaking of which, when you designed this facility, why didn’t you include an automated cooking vehicle?"

".... Should I throw in a recreation room, or a KTV set for you?"

"That’s not out of the question."

On the side, Shen Yue interjected:

"If we have surplus in the future, entertainment facilities must be arranged."

"We’re here to take root long-term; once development stabilizes, mental and ideological issues will arise one after another."

"In the long run, it will lead to chaos."

"Look at Jinling City, just a small city with a population under fifteen thousand, and there are already seven or eight casinos and brothels."

"That’s just what I’ve seen, if you carefully count, the number is likely higher."

"We can’t degenerate to that level---- in any case, let’s set up a screening room first."

"We have plenty of lighting now, so we can use the evening time."

"Organize some movie screenings, night classes, or healthy entertainment activities, it’s better than turning off the lights and making babies all night, right?"

"That’s indeed reasonable."

Chen Jian gave Shen Yue a thumbs up, then said:

"You’ve got the demeanor of a political commissar, see? I told you you could do this job."

"I’m responsible in my position, if I don’t do it, neither will you guys."

Shen Yue pouted proudly, picked up a pan randomly, and took the lead into the lift, walking out of Base 011 through the main passage.

Chen Jian and the others followed closely, carrying some ingredients they had brought from Jinling City, placing them in the open space outside the facility.

Before long, with the assistance of two swarm robots, two smokeless stoves were built, the stove fire was lit, and the water in the pot began to bubble and boil.

The robot controlled by Fu Xi, with relatively "not that flexible" movements, washed the rice and tossed it into the pot, opened a few canned goods, and poured them in to cook a thick porridge. Just as the aroma spread, Huang Yu returned with the group that had completed the morning exercise.

"Commander!"

Huang Yu gave a not-exactly-standard military salute to Chen Jian, then said:

"All 46 members of the Huaxia Army have completed the morning exercise, awaiting your instructions!"

"Good, bring them in. Take 15 minutes to tidy up the barracks, then come out to eat."

Chen Jian looked at the obviously more energetic and lively team with satisfaction, then continued:

"Fu Xi, guide them through the barracks tidying process, exercise your discretion."

"Roger that."

Fu Xi’s voice came through the loudspeaker installed near the base station:
