Chapter 1233 The Commander-in-Chief Came and Left
The group of people deliberately stayed away from the area where the unknown orcs appeared, and continued to collect furs and various materials.
In this land of ice and snow, they unexpectedly discovered a number of exposed mineral veins and clusters.
Gordon tried to dig a few pieces and was surprised to find that the quality of the ore here was quite high, and he could even dig up rare ores such as scarlet kite stone.
This is very unreasonable. Logically speaking, this kind of ore should only appear in special geologically unstable areas such as volcanoes, or in extremely deep underground caves.
The appearance of the Scarlet Kite Stone in the open air may mean that this ice sheet has experienced very drastic geological changes?
The hunters couldn't figure out the reason for a while, so they had to put the matter behind them and continue the work at hand.
As the editor, Ai Bo carefully recorded this.
Starting from early morning, they swept all the way until dusk. Only when the sleds pulled by the two hounds were completely filled, and the hunters and cats were loaded with items, did the group embark on the return journey.
Dozens of high-quality furs, rare minerals as specimens, piles of raw meat, honey, medicinal herbs special to the ice field, and snow sprouts that look edible.
There are many unknown things. As long as they look useful, they will bring some with them. Maybe they can find some use for them?
On the way back, we passed a sulfur hot spring and saw several cute golden monkeys taking a bath. Feng Ying couldn't let go of them.
He ran over excitedly, caught it with a net, tied it up, and threw it on the sled.
Said to take it back to the stronghold to match with the silver monkey.
When she saw groups of penguins, she also wanted to catch them, but Gordon stopped her.
There was too much cargo, and the tooth hounds couldn't pull it anymore. The hunters had to push the sled and walk slowly. Fortunately, they were not too far away from Yuechen's stronghold at this time.
Before the sky completely darkened, we finally made it back to the stronghold.
The leader of the supply squad was shocked by the amount of supplies brought back by the Silver Bian team. He quickly arranged for personnel to take over the processing of furs, food ingredients, etc., and at the same time stepped up to revise the future resource collection plan.
What limits the amount of materials collected is not the abundance of various resources in the frosty soil, nor the strength of the hunters, but their load-bearing and transportation capabilities.
She plans to have the people from the transport team set off with the hunters, which should improve efficiency a lot.
With the activity of hunters and transportation teams, a large amount of basic materials were continuously filled into the warehouse.
As the monitor of the supplies squad, she has a hamster-like personality. She feels satisfied from the bottom of her heart as she sees the numbers on the inventory table increasing.
With sufficient supply of materials, various tasks in the Yuechen stronghold can be rapidly advanced.
A large number of thick furs of ice jackals and top-grade furs of snow deer were processed in a unified manner. With the help of the alchemists, the speed of tanning was greatly accelerated.
With the cold wave over, the weather has been fine these days, and the open space at Yuechen Stronghold is covered with thick, snow-white fur and leather.
Afterwards, the craftsmen and Ellu tailors worked overtime, and a large number of [Ice Wolf] cold-proof clothes were produced and distributed to everyone.
When the commander-in-chief and others arrived in an airship, those bloated figures wearing countless layers of clothing and cold-proof cloaks could no longer be seen in the Yuechen stronghold.
The wall in the southern part of the stronghold is being constructed in an orderly manner, and the expansion of the residential area is also in progress simultaneously.
With the support of sufficient high-quality ore, the technical squad leader's large-scale steam mechanism was successfully developed. With the support of surging steam power, the problem of house heating was completely solved, and the efficiency of the processing house was also greatly improved.
The Commander-in-Chief is extremely satisfied with the progress of various affairs at Yuechen Stronghold.
Originally, he planned to station himself at the frontline stronghold Yuechen for a period of time, coordinate and manage all aspects of affairs, and then return to the base camp Xingchen stronghold after all work was on track.
Now it seems that this is not necessary.
Even without the intervention of old guys like myself, the young people are doing a good job.
Due to the low priority of the project, the headquarters has not yet been built, and there is only a huge log table in the reserved space.
I didn’t even dare to put a map on the table, as it would be blown away by the cold wind.
The commander-in-chief didn't care, put on a thick winter cloak, and held a cadre meeting.
"Tomorrow, I will prepare to return to the stars."
The commander-in-chief's first words made the supplies squad leader unable to hold his nerve.
The dark circles under her eyes were so thick that they couldn't even cover her dark skin. "No, Commander-in-Chief, you have gone back. Who will lead Yuechen's construction and investigation work?"
The commander-in-chief crossed his arms and said with a smile: "Didn't you do a great job? Just do it your original way."
Gordon, the leader of the second phase of the regiment, and the leader of the technical class nodded in unison.
Only the supplies squad leader wanted to protest.
There are many cadres at Yuechen Stronghold, but Master Yuanye has long disappeared. The leader of the second phase of the regiment is addicted to blacksmithing, the leader of the technical class is concerned about steam engines, and the leader of the investigation team leads people around all day long.
I am the only one who has the job of administrative coordination!
"Hahaha, it's really rare to see you with such an expression." The commander-in-chief who was in a good mood smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will leave enough manpower.
You can assign the material work to him. "
The commander-in-chief patted the shoulder of a middle-aged man in his forties next to him.
Of course the material squad leader knows this person. He is one of the backbones of the fourth phase of the regiment. He is a very reliable guy. He feels relieved to be entrusted with the material coordination work.
She breathed a sigh of relief, "You're here just in time, I'll leave the supplies to you!"
This way, half of the burden on my shoulders was lifted at once.
The man who became the head of the supply and materials institute shrugged his shoulders. He was here to do this.
"There are many scholars and editors coming with me. The ecological environment of the Everfrost Permafrost is special, and the existence of the Ecological Research Institute is very necessary.
The director is old, so I won't let him come here to suffer the cold. The old guy is angry. Hahaha, the leader of the third group, you will be responsible for this."
The elegant female scholar tightened her cold-proof cloak and nodded with a bitter face.
Although it is interesting to study the ecology of the new area, she is most afraid of the cold.
"Alva, you will be responsible for the editors as usual and assist the work of the investigation team leader."
"No problem!"
Alva was excited. He couldn't wait to go to the field to conduct an investigation.
The most important thing is that this time he was the only one who came with the commander-in-chief on the airship. Rania was restricted by the duties of the sheriff and was left in Xingchen.
Who else can take care of me! Who else!!!
"Relying solely on airships may not be enough, so I arranged a fast ship to travel between Xingchen and Yuechen." The commander-in-chief continued.
"Trading ships will travel regularly." The middle-aged crew member smiled and said, "If you need any goods, tell me in advance."
"As for everyone's safety and the front-line investigation work, it's up to you." The commander-in-chief looked at Gordon and Feng Ying beside him.
Gordon nodded, and Feng Ying confidently raised her thumb.
The manpower brought by the commander-in-chief filled the last vacancy of Yuechen's base. A complete command system has been established. Everyone only needs to do their job, and Yuechen will be able to operate smoothly.
"Well, there is still a lack of a real leader."
The commander-in-chief pondered for a moment, and finally pointed to Gordon, "Gordon, it's you. You have the final decision-making power for Yuechen's investigation affairs."
Gordon was stunned for a moment when he heard this, thought about it, and nodded in agreement without shirking.
A satisfied smile appeared on the commander-in-chief's face.
"Protect this place and lead everyone forward."
