Facing the question raised by Mo Qingyan, Chen Xingang was about to say that he could have a drill to help them drill holes, but he couldn't help but stop himself.
Of course he can come up with a suitable drill bit. He only needs to upgrade the hand drill on the tool table. Not to mention just opening a hole tens of meters deep in the frozen soil, even if he wants to drill a deep well, Chen can upgrade it through the system. New equipment is also available for drilling holes.
But is he really doing this well
Chen Xin couldn't help but shook his head.
These group members have indeed encountered difficulties, but they are far from the point where they cannot survive.
At this time, they still had shelters to stay in and supplies to protect their lives. Although the temperature was indeed a bit low, this issue was raised and discussed before the doomsday came, and everyone was fully prepared.
Therefore, although their shelter is indeed very cold now, it is not so cold that they cannot survive, and the heating equipment can still maintain sufficient temperature.
It's just that doing so will consume a lot of fuel reserves or increase energy consumption, shortening their theoretical survival time, but it won't really make them unable to survive.
And even if you really can't survive, sending out a distress signal and moving to an official shelter like the two group members who asked the official for help is the way to survive.
Chen Xin's help to them was only to help them continue to survive in the form of a private refuge, not to help them survive the crisis of survival and save their lives.
Since their lives were not endangered, there was no need for Chen Xin to hurry up and help them by consuming a lot of survival points.
The system can indeed help him make various items or equipment reasonable, but this is only limited to the items themselves, so that people will not think that an item is too high-tech, rather than making people become idiots and criticizing what Chen Xin has brought out. and turned a blind eye to his actions.
It is normal to let others process materials or exchange for something. After all, in the end of the world, everyone has needs or lacks something.
But rush to help others... Although it is true that unity and cooperation are needed to survive in the apocalypse, rushing to help others like this is not the correct posture to lend a helping hand.
If they have run out of ammunition and food, they will not be able to survive without help. Chen Xin will help them survive no matter what, but it is far from the last moment.
The low temperature of -34°C is indeed dangerous and fatal, but humans are not unable to survive in such an environment.
The former leader of the Sovian Union, Georgian priest Comrade Steel, was once exiled to the small village of Kuleika near the Arctic Circle, a place that cannot be found on the map. He spent a long time in Siberia in the cold winter of minus 60 degrees Celsius. For five years, he lived in a simple wooden house and lived a primitive life almost like a wilderness hunter, surviving only on hunting and fishing.
But even in such a harsh environment, the loving father of steel survived tenaciously and developed his steel-like will.
Chen Xin bit his fingers and thought silently. He could gain survival points by helping his friends, which was the biggest benefit to him. Moreover, he could also take this opportunity to exchange a large amount of resources he needed from his friends, although it might These group friends don’t have what they want.
But this can also easily expose some problems, such as where Chen Xin's equipment comes from and what is his motivation for helping everyone...
The darkness in the human heart is deeper than we imagine. Chen Xin must consider the consequences if he shows too enthusiastic kindness.
Finally he made a decision, so he pressed the talk button on the radio again, and said in a deliberately cold voice: "I can get drill bits, I can also provide ground source heat pump equipment, and I can even help you install it, but everything It’s not free, I need you to exchange it with supplies.”
After saying that, Chen Xin quickly released the talk button, took a long breath to relieve his nervousness, and then waited for the others' responses.
This is the response that Chen Xin came up with. He adopts an attitude of "I can help, but I have to pay more". This can not only legitimately help others to save money, but also avoid being thought that people are stupid and have too much money, which may lead to some undesirable things happening. Some ideas.
Coupled with a little force as a deterrent, Chen Xin felt that this should be able to ensure his own safety.
"A Xin, can you really get the drill bit? Are you trying to find A Lan..." Mo Qingyan was the first to speak, but she diverted her thoughts in another direction and made up some plots in her mind.
Regarding Mo Qingyan's speculation and speculation, Chen Xin naturally understood what she meant, but this was also what he wanted to see.
So Chen Xin followed her words and continued: "Well, I plan to ask the SWAT team to get a drill through A Lan. After all, even if I don't install it for you, I still have to install such a set of equipment for heating myself, so the drill I definitely have to do it, but using it myself and helping you do it are two different things.”
Chen Xin's reply made Mo Qingyan fall silent. He didn't know what Mo Qingyan wanted to express, but the others ignored the weird atmosphere between the two of them and asked Chen Xin about the ground source heat pump. What is the heating effect of the equipment and what conditions are required for installation.
And the most important thing is what exchange conditions Chen Xin needs before he agrees to help others make and install such a device.
Chen Xin gave a detailed explanation of the heating effect and installation conditions of the ground source heat pump, as well as the maintenance and consumption after installation.
However, when everyone asked what the price would be, Mo Qingyan suddenly stepped in, interrupted everyone's speech, and announced loudly: "Give me the first batch of ingredients, and I will give you ten boxes of wine. Ten boxes of canned luncheon meat, five boxes of canned pork...plus my sister!"
"Mo Qingyan, what do you want to do?" Chen Xin was shocked when he heard Mo Qingyan's exchange conditions, and it took him a long time to recover.
However, Mo Qingyan didn't want to explain to him, but she still emphasized in a very strong tone on the radio: "I feel cold, so I have to be the first to install the heater! If anyone has any objections, please bring more things than me. Let you pretend first!”
Mo Qingyan's attitude silenced the others and they could only acquiesce in letting Chen Xin install the ground source heat pump equipment for her first.
This also created a very strange situation, that is, if other people want to install a ground source heat pump, the materials they exchange cannot be much lower than what Mo Qingyan provided, but such a large amount of materials is theirs. It is difficult to take it out, or rather reluctant to take it out. (End of chapter)
