Age of Empires From Scratch

  Chapter 43 Public Facilities Draft

  Heavy machine guns, mortars, etc. are not so easy to get. Even if Laura can get weapons, it is not easy to replenish ammunition. Although she usually buys weapons, they are mainly pistols, which are mainly used for self-defense, unlike David who stores weapons for possible wars.

   "If Steve hasn't slept for seventy years, maybe he can get those things for you; or think of a way to get Peggy back, her world is still in a world war."

After slapping David's dishonest hand off, Laura, who got up and put on clothes, complained about David's thoughts by the way: "And there is no need to build a bunker or something? Even if someone wants to attack Cold Winter Village, With the strength of Steve, Peggy and Fording, they can easily solve it."

"I'm here to make sure no accidents happen." Steve may not be in the village, but Peggy and Fording rarely go back to Azeroth, and the other can't go back to their own world, mainly in Rin Dongcun stayed here. With the strength of these two, ordinary threats would not harm the village at all.

  In addition to these two, Addis, the old hunter, is not a decoration, not to mention Sharon Rogers, the second-generation Captain America... although this one has not officially taken over the title of the US team.

When he got up to get dressed, he only heard Laura say: "I'll go back!" and ran away. David knew that Laura had gone home to take a shower, and he could only use relative Wash in the original way.

"Perhaps the most important thing to build in the village is not a water well, but a running water system." Install a water pump and water purification and filtration equipment on the bank of the Lindong River, connect it to the Lindong Village with pipes, and then build a water tower or something. Primary water system, right?

   "Can you discuss with Mark?"

   "Ask me what?"

  David opened the door and was about to go out while muttering, but he bumped into Mark, and his actions seemed to be about to knock on the door.

   "You came out just in time. This is the material determined after thinking about it, and Laura needs to help prepare it." Mark handed a piece of paper full of words in his hand to David: "I was worried that I would disturb you."

   "Laura has gone home." He took the paper filled with various materials, looked at it twice, and then picked it up: "I will pass it to her when she comes back."

   "Well..." Mark didn't ask Laura what she was doing when she ran home early in the morning? He also does the same thing every day, and goes directly to the Mars base after getting up early: "What did you say you wanted to discuss with me just now?"

   "A question about water."

"Isn't it going to dig a well? I have already observed all parts of the village, and there are several places where wells should be dug." David told him about this matter before. In addition to looking after the farmland these days, Mark is doing research this matter.

   "I think it would be better to have a running water system."

   "..."

  Mark blinked, feeling that the village chief's thinking was changing so fast that he couldn't keep up with the other party's rhythm. Why did he change from digging a well to building a water system all at once? Are you playing a sim city game? And is the span of your civilization too big?

  David ignored Mark's eyes full of question marks, and directly expressed his thoughts: "Do you think it is feasible?"

"This plan is still quite feasible." Mark realized that he had misunderstood. The tap water system David wanted to build was not the one he thought he would build a tap water plant first and then connect the pipes to every household. kind. It simply filters the river water and sends it to the water storage equipment in the village, and the villagers go to the water storage equipment to get water by themselves.

  If this is the case, the difficulty is not too great. The real trouble is still the laying of the pipeline. Laying a pipeline from the river to the village is not an easy task. If you want to complete this kind of work quickly, it is best to have mechanical assistance.

   But thinking about people like Fording and Steve, it seems that these heavy tasks are not too difficult for David's village to solve.

   "Then I'll think about what equipment I need to buy, make a list and hand it over to Laura."

   "Well, I'll leave this to you." David patted Mark on the shoulder. The man in front of him was the only "scientist" in the village. David would always ask Mark about such things.

   "Again, I'm a botanist."

   "I know, Mark!"

"Forget it, I'll go see how the wheat is growing." Mark knew that David would still ask himself if he had similar questions, so he stopped worrying about it and went about his own business: "Jack Nigui, let's go!"

  Greeting to the Squirrel Turtle who was staying by the side, Mark went to inspect a few fields, watered them, weeded and weeded according to the situation, and dug some soil nearby for some observations.

  In the past few days, he found some inconspicuous changes in the land around Lindong Village. He was very interested in this magical phenomenon and wanted to find out what was going on.

  David doesn't know what Mark is mainly busy with recently. He only knows that Mark is farming, planting in Winter Village and Mars, and by the way, he is also serving as his own technical consultant to solve various technical problems.

   "Obviously I liked playing farming and construction games in my previous life." It turned out that it was too difficult when I really let myself build a territory.

  Really building a territory can’t be like when playing a game, you can build a building with a click of the mouse; if you want a well, you can dig a well with just a click, and there is no location limit.

The same is true for the water supply system. One tap builds the water plant, and then follow the prompts to click a few more times, and the tap water network covering tens of thousands of people is completed. In reality, it is difficult for him to even have a tap water pipe for his house. Not to mention providing tap water to every household in the village.

   "Currently, the most reliable construction plan is centralized management." In addition to public toilets and running water, David also thought of canteens and bathhouses, and then thought of road surfaces.

  Of course, the next few items are not in a hurry for the time being. After the farmers have completed the reclamation of the farmland, they will build everything again.

  As for how to get farmers to contribute their labor, this is not difficult.

Although the five contract farmers are only responsible for the farm work of the employer's family according to the contract, as long as the employer does not object to them, they can take on other jobs. David can definitely "hire" these people to do other jobs and complete various tasks in the village. Facilities construction.

  The other three self-cultivating farmers can also be hired, even if they will soon become contract farmers for Samantha's mother and son, but Samantha should not refuse the employment from the village chief, and it is not good for her to fight against the village chief.

  Taking out the notebook that he was accustomed to carrying with him at all times, he continued to write and draw. Even when he noticed someone standing beside him, he didn't stop.

   After writing down everything that came to mind in the notebook, he also drew a few bird's-eye views to think about where the various facilities should be built. After making sure that there was nothing missing, he turned his head and glanced at the side.

   "Morning, Steve."

   "Morning, David." Still wearing old-fashioned clothes, Steve greeted David and sat down: "Did you just make plans for the village?"

   "Yes." This is nothing to be ashamed of, David handed the notebook directly to Steve: "Do you want to see it?"

"No need." In fact, with Steve's eyesight and memory, he had already memorized all the contents of the notes in his heart at that moment. When he was saving Bucky, he only took a few seconds to read the nine points on the map. The coordinates of the head snake factory were all written down: "I saw that you wrote tap water in the note?"

This is what he is curious about. Although he has only been to Rinwinter Village for a few days, and half of the time is in his own universe, he feels that he has enough understanding of Rinwinter Village: Isn’t this Is it a relatively backward ancient village? People here also lead a relatively primitive life of farming, fishing and hunting.

  In this environment, the word tap water seems very out of place.

   Said his thoughts again, and Steve also understood David's thoughts: "That's right! It sounds good, maybe I can help."

  He knew that this job would be good for everyone in the village, and he had inexhaustible energy waiting to be vented, so even before David asked, Steve offered to help.

   "If there is something that requires your efforts, I will not be polite to you." David closed and put away the notebook: "You have also been in the village for a few days, what do you think of my place?"

Because two of the three captains couldn't leave at will, and because they "know each other" with each other, David didn't rush to talk too much with them. He was going to wait for them to settle down in the village and adapt to life here. Talk to them.

  So even if Steve didn't take the initiative to talk to him today, David was ready to find an opportunity to talk to him. Now that the other party took the initiative to find him, it was convenient for David.

"It's a very quiet and peaceful village, and the people here are very friendly." Steve, who was originally very serious, rarely showed some smiles on his face: "To be honest, I thought it was God who thought I shouldn't stay in that world any longer. , so let me come to this place, so that I can enjoy my old age in peace."

   "Enjoy your old age... Isn't it too early to consider retirement now?" David looked at Steve's young appearance, and felt that Steve's words were too strange, even though he knew why the other party would say that.

   "Is it very early? I'm already in my nineties." Steve shook his head, and he was also speechless about this situation. After all, no one could accept that he turned into an old man when he opened his eyes.

"Haven't you been frozen in a deep sleep for seventy years? So strictly speaking, you are only in your twenties, and your wonderful youth is still waiting for you!" David casually said a few words of comfort: "And, for some special existence Ninety years old is not too old.”

   "I shouldn't be a special existence, right?"

   "Became a super soldier through an experiment with a low success rate, won the title of Captain America, and woke up after being frozen for seventy years after a plane crash... Believe me, you are very special."
