Chapter 1181
Zhou Jianghai, who was sitting to the side helping to organize the toolbox, smiled when he heard this: "Be content. It's good enough to have a place to shelter from the wind and rain. Because of Wanwan and Xiaoyu, our family treats us quite well. Some families of five have to squeeze into one room!"
Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu were also helping to move things. Upon hearing this, they said, "Mom, let's divide the clutter in this room in two. We'll put more things in our room, and Mumu will share one with you from now on. You can put less things in your room."
"it is good!"
Many people also complain quietly about the shrinking living space, feeling that these newcomers are taking away the resources they should have had!
But the Kunlun brought more than just crowding.
The Kunlun brought along a series of foldable micro-wind generators.
This generator is small in size, no more than half a person's height when unfolded, yet it can generate electricity continuously in a light breeze, with an efficiency more than twice that of the fortress's original solar power generation equipment.
The workers secured the generator and then connected it to the fortress's power system.
As the first generator started running, emitting a slight hum, the fortress's power indicator lights instantly lit up, much brighter than before.
Then, a second, a third... more and more micro-wind generators were put into use, and the previously intermittent power system became stable.
"Air conditioning! The air conditioning is working!" someone shouted, and everyone ran back to their rooms and turned on their air conditioners.
A cool breeze blew out from the air conditioner vents, bringing a long-lost sense of comfort and instantly dispelling the heat and stuffiness accumulated in the apocalypse.
Some people couldn't help but let out a satisfied sigh.
"The technology behind the Kunlun is truly amazing!"
"With this generator, we'll never have to worry about power outages again!"
"I used to complain about the cramped housing, but now it seems that this merger was really worth it!"
Complaints were gradually replaced by praise, and everyone truly felt the benefits of the joint compilation.
This is exactly what the two captains wanted to see!
Captain Chen stood in the open space in front of the command room, looking at the joyful crowd below, and a smile also appeared on his face.
At the same time, Lin Wei was officially incorporated into the research team of Huaxia Base No. 1, serving as the deputy team leader.
She did not make any special requests regarding housing allocation, but simply chose a small single room with a bed, a table, and a chair, and almost nothing else inside.
According to the base's regulations, as a core research staff member, she enjoys the same salary and subsidies as the ship's captain, and receives a full amount of food, medicine, and daily necessities every month.
Lin Wei was very satisfied with this.
She was not a pleasure-seeking person and did not have many requirements for food and accommodation. As long as she had a quiet environment to conduct research and sufficient resources to support her experiments, that would be enough for her.
Moreover, the base has far more supplies than the Kunlun. Although scarce resources such as rice, flour, eggs, and poultry need to be redeemed by accumulating points, at least there are channels for redemption. Unlike on the Kunlun, where sometimes it is difficult to even get a bite of fresh vegetables.
This is a level better than the treatment she received on the Kunlun.
When Lin Wei went to collect her salary and subsidies for the first time, she discovered something that surprised her.
Zhou Shuwan's salary was actually comparable to hers.
How is this going?
She knew Zhou Shuwan was a doctor, but there were quite a few doctors in the base, and even if their medical skills were superb, their salaries shouldn't be on par with hers, a core researcher.
Does Zhou Shuwan have any particularly outstanding achievements in the medical field?
She began to pay special attention to Zhou Shuwan's whereabouts.
She discovered that Zhou Shuwan didn't often go to the base's rescue area; instead, she often stayed at home or went for walks with Qi Mingyu.
On the other hand, Zhou Shuwan's younger brother, Zhou Shumu, goes to the emergency room to help out every day, busy with various tasks, and looks more like a professional doctor than Zhou Shuwan.
Of course, occasionally, patients would come to Zhou Shuwan's door, mostly to request moxibustion or acupuncture.
Lin Wei had seen Zhou Shuwan from afar a few times, and while Zhou Shuwan's technique was indeed skillful, it didn't seem to be enough to warrant such high treatment.
Little did she know that Zhou Shuwan was no longer just an ordinary doctor in the base's rescue area.
Because Zhou Shuwan and her family had taken on several missions to search for minerals and islands, they were often away from home for several months or even half a year.
So later, she voluntarily resigned from her job in the rescue area.
The apprentices she trained before are now capable of handling things on their own.
They are proficient in common Chinese medicine treatments such as acupuncture and moxibustion, so they don't need Zhou Shuwan's assistance.
Captain Chen was well aware of Zhou Shuwan's value.
Therefore, when Zhou Shuwan was a doctor in the ambulance ward, she was paid the highest salary.
Later, after she resigned from that job, Captain Chen specially created a separate position for her. Although there was no specific title, she was paid a salary and subsidies according to the standards for core scientific research personnel.
However, not many people know the inside story.
Lin Wei observed for half a month but still couldn't figure out the reason.
She couldn't help but feel concerned about Zhou Shuwan.
Actually, she isn't someone who's particularly interested in other people's private affairs.
However, because of Qi Mingyu, she couldn't help but pay attention to the Zhou family.
Captain Qin has now become the deputy captain of the fortress, but he seems to be gradually paying more attention to Zhou Shuwan.
Lin Wei is now confirmed.
They weren't showing favoritism to the Zhou family, nor did they value Qi Mingyu; rather, they highly regarded Zhou Shuwan.
She also inquired about the information from Yun, the adjutant beside Captain Chen.
The other person smiled gently and said, "Dr. Zhou's medical skills are superb, and we all trust her very much."
They wouldn't reveal a single word.
Meanwhile, Lin Wei gradually heard about Xiao Sheng's situation.
When she heard about this, her first reaction was extreme surprise.
How can an ordinary human being evolve a sense of smell that allows them to determine direction?
She subconsciously thought this was yet another project that could be developed.
Therefore, she proposed to Captain Qin that she wanted to cooperate with Xiao Sheng and have his genes analyzed by taking blood samples.
Captain Qin, however, refused her.
"Dr. Lin, your idea is dangerous. Xiao Sheng is just a teenager who hasn't been treated well since childhood, which is why he's withdrawn. But your idea of cooperation is to conduct human experiments, and I absolutely will not agree to that!"
Lin Wei was also emotional: "Captain Qin, if we hadn't been conducting scientific research and technological development time and time again, we wouldn't have been able to develop so many high-tech solutions adapted to the extreme environment of the apocalypse! Our survival conditions are much harsher than those of the Nanyang Ship, but we have developed far more new technologies than they have! This is our advantage, Captain Qin. You can't forget about the life and death of humanity just because you have a temporarily safe haven..."
