Chapter 984: Psychology of Resilience

(The business trip was extended to the 17th, and I vomited blood)

After roughly visiting this so-called research base, the hunters had to sigh.

The third group is worthy of being a team of scholars, with flexible minds and many methods.

With the thinking of a normal craftsman, or in other words, with the thinking of a normal human being.

For a crashed spacecraft, while the pod remains generally intact, the airbag must be released and every possible means is made to flatten and secure the cabin to obtain a complete and stable living area.

To put it bluntly, it's just like those houseboats in Star Stronghold.

But maybe it's because it takes more effort, and scholars are better at using their brains than doing it, so they chose to find another way.

The airbags were not abandoned. Instead, the scholars moved all remaining airbags and fixed them to the damaged stern.

Under the action of the buoyancy of the air bag, the entire cabin was lifted upright, turning into a head-down and tail-up posture.

Then, they activated the dragon gun located at the bow of the ship.

The dragon-shooting gun was inserted into the ground like a wedge nail to fix the hull. Coupled with the upward pull of the air bag, the upside-down houseboat was completed without a single nail or hammer.

The dragon gun used to fix the hull is the only contact point between the research base and the ground. This may not seem very stable, but it has an obvious advantage.

——It can effectively prevent small creatures such as insects from crawling into the houseboat and causing damage to precious research materials and books.

Of course, the small contact surface also has a disadvantage, that is, it is not stable enough and will shake when a strong wind blows.

Fortunately, scholars also have solutions.

Through precise calculations, they extended multiple ropes from the most suitable positions and angles on the houseboat to firmly secure the houseboat to the surrounding coral reefs.

Although it looks like it is crumbling and may fall at any time.

In fact, this inverted research base is quite strong and reliable. More than ten years later, it still stands firmly here.

The inside of the research base is also very interesting.

Since it is almost vertical, the space inside the base is less like a "house" and more like a "tower".

Tower of knowledge.

Everywhere you look are bookshelves and books, as well as an astonishing amount of information and papers neatly stacked.

"So many?!" An Xil couldn't help but exclaimed.

It is really hard to imagine how much valuable knowledge is recorded in these materials.

Gordon stroked the homemade papers that were not very smooth and had a dry and brittle texture that could only be said to be barely suitable for writing. He couldn't help but curiously asked the leader of the third group:

"Where on earth did you get all this paper and ink? This quantity"

"Nature has given us everything." The leader of the third phase of the group said with a smile: "The ink comes from Feitian Wumao's ink, but the ink is too thin and the color is too light.

Our people tried many times to find suitable auxiliary materials, and finally selected the black oil secreted by the Skeleton Hammer Dragon.

In the right proportion, the extremely viscous pitch black grease can effectively improve the consistency, color and writing consistency of Wu Mao ink, ultimately producing the ink we use every day.

By the way, this recipe was tried out bit by bit by Jian, the lazy guy who showed you the way. "

"Really? I can't see it at all, meow." Pig Chop muttered in a low voice.

The leader of the third phase group smiled and continued: "The paper comes from the Valley of Miasma.

In the Valley of Miasma, you can see some meshes that look like animal fascia everywhere. In fact, they are a mixture of plants and bacterial lawns corroded by miasma.

They are dry and brittle, but they are considered to be good fiber. After we take them back and mash them, add the colloid extracted from corals, boil them, flatten them and dry them, and finally we can make paper. "

Gordon fell into silence, Hayata opened her mouth, and in the end she could only express sincerely, "It's really amazing."

The information before us is the result of over ten years of hard research by the scholars of the third phase of the group, who have overcome various difficulties.

If there is a chance to transport them out and transport them to the Old World, it will definitely cause a huge sensation in the academic world.

However, before all this, how much effort these trapped scholars put in, people who have not experienced it personally can never imagine.

Even a guy like Gale, who was described by Ancil as "hopelessly illiterate", could not help but have respect for these scholars who were in danger and still did not forget their original intention of "seeking knowledge".

“What a **** cow!”

Gail gave a thumbs up. Her praise was sincere, but the sand content was a bit high.

The leader of the third group smiled and didn’t care about Gale’s words. He raised his pipe and said to the hunters:

"It's almost dinner time. You came all the way here. You should have been treated well. Unfortunately, we don't have much good food here. It's big and filling, but it's rather monotonous. I hope you guys won't dislike it."

"It's okay, we can eat anything!" Gale waved his hand carelessly.

Sha Yan, who was always silent, looked at her with a slightly subtle expression.

Anhir also had curiosity in his heart.

Just now, he specially observed the physical condition of everyone in the research base.

How should I put it? I am full of energy and rosy, and I don’t have the imagined feeling of lack of food or malnutrition caused by an unbalanced diet.

How? !

Although the terrestrial coral platform is rich in biological resources, looking at the appearance of these scholars, it does not look like they can obtain a large amount of food at once through hunting.

collection? Probably not.

Collecting takes a lot of time and energy. At least half of the staff need to be assigned to collect food full-time to collect enough food for everyone to eat well.

With the temperament of these scholars, even if they are hungry, they will not "waste" so much time on food.

"Is your main way of obtaining food planting?" An Xier couldn't help asking as he followed the leader of the third-term group on the way to the dining area.

This sounds a bit outrageous, but after elimination, this seems to be the only possibility.

The leader of the third-term group glanced at him and said, "It's very close, but it's not planting. In fact, it may be more appropriate to say 'cultivation'."

Then she said to the sloppy scholar named Ajian: "Go and bring the food."

"Really, you are ordering me again."

Ignoring Ajian's complaints, the leader of the third-term group added: "Remember to bring more. Hunters have a large appetite, three to five times the amount of ordinary people."

"Yes, yes, yes."

Sitting down at the dining table, the hunters began to wait curiously. Not long after, Ajian came back with a huge basket.

"Hey!"

He put the basket full of food on the table, and said while distributing bowls to everyone: "Eat as much as you want, there is still a lot. If it is not enough, I will go to get more."

The leader of the third group took the wooden spoon, lifted his robe sleeves gracefully, and distributed the food.

The bowls and plates in front of everyone were some granular objects, some were thinner than sesame seeds, and some were about the same size as peas. The color was mostly milky white or orange, soft, with a translucent gelatinous texture.

"Is this the egg of something?" Gordon asked curiously.

"Yeah." Ajian also served himself some, picked up a spoonful with a wooden spoon, put it in his mouth, and said vaguely:

"It is nutritious and rich in all the nutrients needed by the human body. It is also easy to obtain. With a little effort, you can get a lot of it that you can't finish eating. The taste is not bad.

We have almost only eaten this for many years."

"So, what is this?" An Xier, who was full of "worm eggs", asked cautiously.

The leader of the third group smiled faintly, "This is the staple food of most small and medium-sized creatures in the Coral Plateau, the eggs of coral polyps."

Ps.

Coral polyp eggs are the staple food of many creatures in the Coral Plateau, this is official.

As for whether people eat it or not, anyway, apart from this thing, I really can't think of what the people in the research base can eat in the past 20 years.
