The first person to notice the recovery of the magnetic field was Cheng Zai, who was doing routine maintenance on the base vehicle at that time.

Xiao Ji greeted him as soon as he recovered, and quickly began to analyze the latest environmental data of the current car body and its surroundings.

Cheng Zai was so happy that he shouted to inform everyone, and immediately used the communicator to tell Xiao Mo the good news.

The bracelet on Xiao Mo's wrist has been systematically modified to integrate storage, attack, communication, optical brain and other functions. When it receives contact from Cheng Zai, it immediately feeds back to Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo told Xue Lihong the good news, and the two turned around and ran back to Eleven Taibao Mountain. Now that the base vehicle can be used, of course it is comfortable and safe to drive the base vehicle out, just in time to bring everyone in the team.

Due to the recovery of the magnetic field, the construction speed inside the Zhongshan base has been further accelerated, and the primary optical brain provided by the system has really come into its own. Not to mention other functions, it only conducts data and theoretical modeling on various research projects, and speculates on the possibility of success. This function greatly reduces the actual research process of scientific researchers.

In terms of energy, the primary optical brain also helped the base establish a safer, simpler and more concealed nuclear kinetic energy station. From now on, at least there will be no shortage of power supply at the Zhongshan Base.

His Majesty the System said that nuclear kinetic energy has been eliminated by civilizations above Level 2 due to its pollution.

According to system speculation, if humans on earth continue to produce alloy particles, and other organisms can continue to produce energy crystals, then the future energy system of the earth may soon change.

No matter how things change in the future, at least the base now has abundant electrical energy. With electric energy, it stands to reason that a series of means of improving life, such as lighting, heating, cooling, purification, heating and even induction cookers, will also return to the level before the catastrophe.

At this point, the survivors of the base really took a breath.

However, due to the previous big storm, many factories and machinery in the base were destroyed. The magnetic field had not been restored before, so there was no rush to repair these machinery and other items. The main reason was that most of them were too damaged to be repaired.

The current situation of the base is a typical waste of resources waiting to be renovated!

Qiu Feng looked at the heads of departments swarming in. They were all crying and shouting for new machines, repairmen, parts,... etc. Everyone shouted at the top of their lungs that their department was the most important.

"Guns! Bullets! This is what we need most. If we don't have these, how can we fight those monsters? How can we hunt? How can we do tasks and collect supplies? But except for some of the machinery, everything else is broken, even if we let go The ones underground have also been flooded for many days. We are not talking about giving new machines, but we must at least have enough parts to replace them, right? General, no matter what, please send people to other arsenals to collect supplies first!"

"Get out of the way! The building of our research institute was completely damaged by the big storm. Almost all the computers and machines inside were destroyed. Only some of them were saved by our scientific researchers desperately. However, we want to continue to carry out various tasks. For research on this aspect, where is the machine enough? We urgently need computers, high- and low-speed centrifuges, electromagnetic analyzers, and automatic dissociation... "

"Toilet paper! Don't you all need toilet paper? The paper factory must be reopened! But our production line was completely ruined without protection! We urgently need a new production line!"

"Let's focus on the living department first. Air conditioners, boilers, heaters, wires, meters, lights... Although these are the most daily things, they are needed most because of daily life!"

Director Zhang, Cai Jinhua, Jin Shan and other managers looked at Qiu Feng with sympathy on their faces, but they were helpless.

At most, Director Zhang will issue more relevant tasks at the mercenary station. But now that the whole world is covered by thick snow, it is not easy to find places where supplies may be found under such thick snow, not to mention braving the cold and being attacked by monsters. Despite the danger, they rummaged through the ruins that were almost destroyed by the storm to find the supplies they needed.

Cai Jinhua and others also came to ask for things and people, and it was even harder to interrupt the situation at the scene.

Jinshan saw that everyone was really noisy, so he stepped forward and said: "Quiet! Everyone, be quiet first. We all know your situation. We will hold a meeting later to discuss which materials to collect first. Now, leave your application. People leave first, what does it sound like when everyone is crowded here?"

After finally asking the heads of various departments to leave, the base's senior officials continued to hold a meeting.

Looking at the thick stack of material application forms, everyone felt so worried that their hair fell out.

Every department is important, and everyone's requirements are reasonable, but it's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. Currently, these materials cannot be produced in the base, and a production line must be obtained first. The production line requires various machines to produce. Moreover, many of the instruments used in some research are professional instruments produced by certain research institutes. If you want to find someone to manufacture them, you can't find anyone.

"General, how about you decide which department to collect materials first?" Everyone has no choice. It's not good for anyone to take sides. We can only leave the decision to the boss of the base.

Qiu Feng picked up the thick stack of application forms and knocked them gently on the table, "I will give you a detailed answer tomorrow. Let's adjourn the meeting!"

How can we break up the meeting like this! Cai Jinhua and others cheered and surrounded Qiu Feng.

"General, we can't delay any longer. Can you please give me an accurate answer?"

Qiu Feng hurriedly went to find Xiao Mo and waved his hand to ask the guards to come up and separate everyone.

"General!"

Qiu Feng opened the door and saw that none of the people in charge standing outside the door had left. They were all waiting for news. I had no choice but to close the door, turn around and say to the senior executives: "I have a way to solve the current lack of machines, but if you stop me again, it will be too late!"

What does the general mean? But seeing Qiu Feng's solemn expression, all the executives looked at each other.

Qiu Feng pointed at the office door and said, "You guys, please comfort those people outside. If there is any sign of instability in the base, I will come to settle the score with you! Leave the machines and production lines to me. I will tell you the details tomorrow!" The meeting is dismissed!”

This time no one stopped Qiu Feng. Qiu Feng did not leave through the gate, but left through another aisle under the protection of the guards.

After leaving the air-raid shelter, Qiu Feng jumped into the prepared car and urged: "Hurry! Hurry to the 11th Taibao Mountain!"

When Qiu Feng arrived at Eleven Taibao Mountain, the scavenging team was preparing to set off.

Before setting off, Xiao Mo asked everyone in the team who wanted to stay at the base to look after the house and who wanted to follow the car.

The Xiao family said that they had no special powers, and following them out on missions would only hinder them. It was better to stay at the base and do whatever work they could, so that they would not feel like useless people being raised.

Wang Cheng's parents also said that they are getting older and it is better to stay at the base and at home while following the car around.

Qian Yunkai's father has a job in a research institute, so he can't leave it and won't follow the car. If Qian's father doesn't leave, Qian's mother will naturally stay with her husband.

"Xiao Mo, actually you don't have to worry about us at all. It might be safer if we stay at the base. You see, we have Xiao Lu looking after us, and General Qiu takes good care of us. Others are also very kind to us because of you. Respect, the work arranged for us by the base is quite light, and the benefits are also very good. At least we can support ourselves. What's more, you left us so many alloy particles." Deng Anjie cited the reasons one by one, Trying to dispel the worries of all traveling team members, including Xiao Mo, about their families.

"By the way, there is Ms. Chang'e! During your absence, Ms. Chang'e often came to our place. She also said that she liked the scenery on Eleven Taibao Mountain and also liked to live in the vine forest. In the future, when you are away, Chang'e Ms. E can take care of us to some extent."

Cheng Zai nodded and said that Sister Deng was right. His mother was indeed planning to settle down in the woods at the top of Eleven Taibao Mountain.

Xiao Mo and the team members looked at each other. Qian Yunkai was not very worried about his parents. Wang Cheng also felt that instead of letting his parents follow the car around when they were young, it would be better to stay at a safer base.

Cheng Zai is not worried about his mother.

The matter was decided like this, and in the end there were ten people following the car, namely: Xiao, Xue, Qian, Wang, Cheng, Lao Wu's family and Lin Xiaofei, plus Qiu Xinqiu, a young man who had just arrived two days ago.

Da Hei and Little Mantis refused to get out of the car, so they must be taken with them.

Xiao Mo was originally worried that Xiao Lu would make trouble and wanted to go with them, but little did he expect that Xiao Lu had found a new tree-growing fun. Now he is obsessed with and committed to expanding his territory, and is working hard every moment to expand his territory. The roots are deep and deep and wide.

According to what Mr. Lu told Xiao Mo, it seems that it wants to spread its roots all over the earth.

Xiao Mo didn't think that Xiao Lu was making wild ambitions. With the help of green light spots, Xiao Lu might really become the most awesome plant to dominate the entire planet in the future.

"Captain Xiao! Vice Captain Xue! Wait a minute!"

Qiu Feng asked the driver to move the car in front of the base car, jumped out of the car and waved and shouted.

"Dad?" When Qiu Xin saw his father running towards him, he thought he had come specially to see him off. He was so moved that he slipped out of the base vehicle and rushed up to give his father a hug.

Qiu Feng slapped his son away and smiled bitterly at Xiao Mo who got off the car: "Xiao Xiao, you can't leave right away, the base is waiting for your help!"

"What's wrong? Didn't I rehabilitate all the seriously injured people?" Xiao Mo was surprised.

"This time it's not a human, it's a machine! It's a mission and you get paid."

As a result, Xiao Mo failed to leave on that day.

Qiu Feng first took Xiao Mo to the military airport at the base.

Qiu Feng and the Army Corps in charge of the air force were filled with tears when they looked at the rags in the airport.

When the big storm came, these military helicopters failed to protect them in time, and most of the aircraft were placed in the open air. As a result... after the big storm, this place became an aircraft garbage dump.

Hardly a single one of so many planes was left intact.

There are staff on site to inspect the aircraft.

Commander Lu said bitterly: "Those who are inspecting the planes are all pilots. It's pitiful for these guys. They used to be the best soldiers, but now they can only be maintenance workers. If these planes cannot be repaired, they may never be able to do it again." There is no chance of going to heaven. These planes are broken down, and they are the ones who feel the most distress."

The arrival of Xiao Mo and others attracted the attention of several pilots, who saluted them.

Xiao Mo saw a familiar person who seemed to be a pilot he had saved.

The pilot also recognized him and smiled at him.

Xiao Mo nodded slightly and smiled at him.

Qiu Feng asked Commander Lu to summon the pilots and tell them to leave first.

Captain Lu was puzzled.

Qiu Feng couldn't explain.

Xue Lihong looked at the pilots who were lining up and said: "There is no need to ask them to leave. We are the only ones coming. When we leave later, they will find that the planes have been repaired, and they will definitely guess the truth of the matter. Instead of Let them speculate on each other and attract unnecessary attention. It is better to let them see the facts directly and let them keep their mouths shut afterwards."

Qiu Feng thought the same thing, but he promised to keep Xiao Mo's secret, so it was not easy for him to suggest it. It would be great if Xue Lihong could take the initiative to say this.

Commander Lu thought to himself: Could it be that these two people can still repair aircraft? I heard that Captain Xiao used to repair household appliances and collect junk. Could it be that he was secretly hiding his background and was actually an aircraft engineer

All the base's superiors have read Xiao Mo's information countless times. Naturally, they also know whether he studied engineering mechanics or graduated with honors from a world-renowned university. Soldiers can't help but feel that way about true intellectuals. I admire him a lot, Xiao Mo is almost in this range.

Commander Lu calling Xiao Mo a rag collector was just a soldier-style intimate joke.

Captain Lu, who knew that Xiao Mo had never learned to repair airplanes, turned to look at Xue Lihong: Is this the real person who repairs airplanes

In the eyes of everyone's doubts, Qiu Feng said to Xiao Mo: "Please repair three aircraft first, one Wuzhi, one with the maximum capacity, and one reconnaissance aircraft. The base is in urgent need."

Xiao Mo didn't ask Qiu Feng what urgent use he had for these planes. He thought it was just to go to other bases to rescue people or rescue supplies - the magnetic field was restored and communications were restored. Some small bases nearby must have asked the big base for help as soon as possible.

"Tell me which three are they?" Xiao Mo asked quickly.

Qiu Feng didn't know yet, so he asked Commander Lu again. Commander Lu waved and called the captain of the flight group under him: "Point out the three best aircraft that the commander requested."

The flight captain salutes. Take them to pick out a plane immediately.

The first one was an armed helicopter. The rest of the aircraft was fine except for the left wing which was broken off. As long as there are suitable welding tools and repair materials, this Wuhan can fly again.

"What materials do you need? I'll send the welding machine over right away, but there's not enough material. Besides..." Halfway through the words, the flight captain's eyes suddenly popped out of his sockets, his mouth opened wide, and he completely lost his composure.

Xiao Mo knew from Qiu Feng's appearance that there must be a lot of things to repair. In order to save energy as much as possible, he did not repair the entire fuselage. He only looked at the three-dimensional diagram of the helicopter in his mind and found out where it was completely broken. For example, the broken wings were repaired just when the flight captain said he was going to get tools and materials.

Commander Lu, the flight captain, and other pilots who came to see the situation:... Oh my god!

Qiu Feng saw clearly the expressions of Captain Lu and others, and couldn't help but smile proudly on his face. Such an indescribable feeling of sourness! Although it was a pity that Xiao Mo was neither his son nor his soldier, he still discovered it.

Xiao Mo coughed and said, "Soldier, please tell me which aircraft is the next one that needs to be repaired?"

Captain Lu's expression was twisted. He probably wanted to laugh, but he was too surprised. He also wanted to say something to Qiu Feng or Xiao Mo. As a result, all the complicated emotions were concentrated in his mouth, and not only did he not say anything. , but all the muscles near the mouth are distorted and deformed.

After a long while, Captain Lu held back a sentence: "So our Captain Xiao's healing ability can not only heal people, but also aircrafts?"

Qiu Feng laughed loudly and slapped his subordinate on the shoulder. He clearly wanted to say something but pretended to be mysterious: "He, there are many things that can be treated! Hahaha!"
