Armor-piercing bullets don't believe in carbon-based monsters

Chapter 191 Ideological Construction
As the progress of the second phase of the cold start continued, the operation of the 011 fortification gradually got back on track.

The residents of Yellowstone City spent a whole day getting familiar with the environment here, but they soon discovered that it was not so easy to quickly adapt to life here.

Compared with Yellowstone City, the basic conditions of the 011 fortifications are more than twice as good.

Almost constant temperature, abundant food, adequate lighting, and a stable environment.
In a sense, this is almost a paradise in the wasteland.

But on the other hand, if the scope is expanded from the concept of 011 fortification to 011 base, the uncertainty increases exponentially.

First of all, this base is open.

It is not surrounded by water like Yellowstone, which can provide food and security continuously.

Secondly, as the former core area of the second-level monsters' nest, the density of monsters here is much higher than that of Yellowstone City.

Even after losing the second-level monster that served as the "master brain", the various fungi here are rotting and withering at an alarming rate, but the symbiotic monsters that originally lived here will not die.

The monsters that had been frightened and fled from the core area came back again.

Although they were eliminated one by one by the unmanned self-defense system controlled by Fuxi, the continuous gunfire still caused anxiety among the residents.

So, on the second day after arriving, everyone spontaneously organized themselves and began the training they were already accustomed to.

At six o'clock in the morning, when the faint sound of "one, two, three, four" woke Chen Jian up, he was even a little dazed.

He still thought that the memories of the wasteland and the end of the world were just a dream, and he was still lying on his own bed in the barracks.
-
But unfortunately, what he saw when he opened his eyes was the simple partition built by Fuxi.

"Good morning, Comrade Commander."

"The time now is January 2376, . The new year has begun."

"The other comrades have already gone out to start training, but they haven't had breakfast yet."

"That's not scientific, maybe we should try to make some changes to their eating habits."

"can."

Chen Jian yawned, stood up, put on his clothes and walked out of the cubicle. At the same time, Lei Jie and others also came out rubbing their eyes.

"Damn. These people got up too early."

"Isn't it just six o'clock? They're already practicing?"

"Yes."

Chen Jian nodded and said:
"I haven't had breakfast yet. According to the custom in the wasteland, most civilians don't eat breakfast."

"I don't think Huang Yu has made any arrangements. Go check what's in the supplies that were brought back yesterday. Add some canned food and make breakfast."

"Fuxi, what can you do?"

Lei Jie asked subconsciously, and Fuxi answered immediately:

"There are no conditions for making a fire in the fortifications, and there is a lack of corresponding tools."

"I can dispatch two or three ant colony robots to stand by outside the fortifications. If the tools are ready, I can do the job."

"Then you do it."

Lei Jie didn't want to do it himself, so he said cheerfully:

"Intelligence is good. We can even use robots to cook."

"Hey, tell me, when you designed this fortification, why didn't you put an automated cooking truck in it?"

".I'll build you an entertainment room and a KTV?"

"That's not impossible."

Shen Yue on the side interrupted:
"If we become wealthy in the future, we will still have to arrange for entertainment facilities."

"We want to take root here for a long time. When development enters a stable period, spiritual and ideological problems will emerge one after another."

"If this continues, things will get chaotic."

"Look at Jinling City. It's a small city with a population of less than 15,000, but there are seven or eight casinos and brothels alone."

"This is what I have seen. If we really count carefully, the number will probably be even higher."

"We can't stoop to their level - let's build the projection room first, no matter what."

"Now we have sufficient lighting conditions, and we can also make use of the evening time."

"Organize them to watch movies, attend night classes, and do some healthy entertainment activities. It's better than turning off the lights and having children, right?"

"It does make sense."

Chen Jian gave Shen Yue a thumbs up and said:

"You look a bit like a political commissar. I told you you can do this job."

"I have to do my job. If I don't do it, neither can you."

Shen Yue pursed his lips proudly, picked up a pot and walked into the elevator first, then walked out of the 011 fortification along the main passage.

Chen Jian and a few others followed closely behind, each carrying some food they brought from Jinling City and placing them on the open space outside the fortifications.

Soon, with the assistance of two ant colony robots, two smokeless stoves were built, the fire was lit, and the water in the pot began to bubble up.

The robot controlled by Fuxi used relatively "not so flexible" movements to wash the rice and throw it into the pot, then opened a few cans and poured them in to cook into a sticky porridge. When the aroma wafted away, the yellow croaker just happened to return with the team that had completed their morning exercise.

"Captain!"

Huang Yu saluted Chen Jian with a non-standard military salute, and then said:
"All 46 members of the Huaxia Army have completed their morning exercises. Please give us your instructions!"

"Okay, take it back. Finish your housework in 15 minutes, then come out for dinner."

Chen Jian looked at the team with satisfaction, which had obviously improved its spirit and energy, and continued:

"Fuxi, guide them to complete the housekeeping process, and let them decide the scale themselves."

"receive."

Fuxi's voice sounded through the loudspeaker installed near the base station:
"The shower area is open, please follow my instructions and enter."

As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Yu led the team into the fortifications.

15 minutes later, everyone, who had finished washing and tidying up their rooms, walked out refreshed.

In fact, in the wasteland, even taking a bath is a rather novel experience for them.

A shower that automatically sprays hot water, a warm bathroom, and even a dryer that blows out hot air.
From the time they were born until now, they have never dared to imagine that there is such a thing in the world, let alone experience it. But now, they are using it themselves.

Everyone's face was filled with smiles, and those ordinary civilians who were not included in the "combat sequence" were either standing or sitting aside, looking at them with a little envy but also a bit of relief.

Perhaps these civilians still thought that this was a treatment exclusive to combatants.

So, when Chen Jian ordered that food be provided to other civilians first, these people were dumbfounded.

After receiving the somewhat simple tableware and a steaming egg for each person, everyone's eyes were filled with disbelief.

They didn't even dare to touch it, they just kept trying to push the food back.

"We have everything, we have everything. The common people should eat first!"

Shen Yue shouted at the top of his lungs, then directed Fuxi to continue building the stove and cooking food. After seeing the combatants also sit down to eat, the civilians began to work with some "trepidation".

"We must not lose our glorious tradition."

Shen Yue sighed and said:

"Nowadays, these people still think in accordance with the law of the jungle. The whole world is dominated by social Darwinism."

"In theory, this will be good for us in the short term, but in the long run, it may shake our foundation." "So, my consideration is to operate according to our principles as much as possible."

"After all, history doesn't lie."

"In the 20th century, we were able to quickly build a mass base by relying on this logic. I think the same thing will happen in the current environment."

"You don't have to tell me the motives behind every plan."

Chen Jian smiled and shook his head, then said:
"Since you are the political commissar, you have the final say on matters of life."

"As long as there are no problems in the general direction, I will support you unconditionally."

"That's fine."

Shen Yue swallowed the egg in his hand and said:
"I intend to focus on strengthening the 'belief' of the Chinese Army during this period of time."

"At present, their fighting capacity is there. After several battles, those who survived have been more or less strengthened."

"You are well organized and disciplined, and the results of your yellow croaker training are obvious - you are truly a talent, keep up the good work."

"It's the captain's teaching that's good!"

Huang Yu answered with a smile, while Shen Yue shook his head and said:
"Don't give me such flattering answers in the future. You should obey orders from your superiors when carrying out combat orders, but you should still be pragmatic in your daily work."

"You did it, don't give the credit to others."

These two sentences made Huang Yu a little embarrassed, but Shen Yue skipped the topic and continued:
"We have fighting capacity, organization and discipline. What this team lacks most now is faith."

"Before, they fought to survive. What if in the future, our fighting is no longer passive and defensive?"

"They will be confused because they don't know 'what they are fighting for', and this confusion is fatal."

“So, I have to give them a belief.”

"At present, the most suitable entry point is nothing more than relatives and ethnic groups. After successfully entering, we will introduce the concepts of group and faith, and slowly, this team will be formed."

“It’s a good idea, how do we do it?”

Chen Jian asked curiously.

"First, we will adopt the strategy of military-civilian integration. On the basis of the main force of the Chinese Army, we will absorb other civilians to form production guards, vanguards, and combat support teams."

"Civilians can't just be civilians. We have to give them a new identity that is closely connected to the main Chinese army."

"At the same time, the main force cannot only be responsible for combat and training, but also must appropriately participate in production activities."

"In this way, the boundary between the military and civilians will be weakened, and the unity of the team and the unity of thought will be enhanced."

"Sure. We have limited manpower, and we have to cover multiple posts. It's no problem to do this."

Chen Jian nodded in approval, and then asked:

"What's next?"

“We can’t talk about the next step, but several strategies should be run at the same time.”

“Once the military-civilian ties are strengthened, the bonds of family and ethnicity can be expanded, and the next thing to do is ideological construction.”

"There's nothing to think about. Let's just adjust Sanwan's approach a little bit and apply it to us."

“The branch must be established, but the form can be adjusted.”

"You, me, and Lei Jie will each be responsible for a part. Form a soldier committee, bring everyone in, and establish a democratic system."

"The committee should take the lead and first determine the various disciplines and precautions. After they are implemented well, they will form a demonstration effect and promote the spirit. At the same time, they should also form a sense of identity and pride."

“After the initial effectiveness, it will be expanded to other personnel to create an atmosphere of support for the military.”

"As for the specific implementation measures, they will still be the same few tricks as getting together, complaining, and life meetings."

"Tsk tsk."

Chen Jian sighed:
"You still say you can't be a political commissar? I don't think there's anyone more suitable than you."

"It's been so many years, I haven't eaten pork and I've seen a lot of pigs run away."

Shen Yue smiled and said:

"Isn't there a ready-made homework? I didn't sleep much last night, just thinking about this."

"I found that we are quite lucky. After traveling to this world, many of our successful experiences can be directly adapted to this world."

"You know, if we were wearing a cyberpunk worldview and doing this, wouldn't we be in big trouble?"

"That's not necessarily the case."

Lei Jie interrupted:
“Truth is universal, it just needs to be adjusted in form.”

"Too."

Shen Yue let out a long sigh, then said:
"In short, we still have a long way to go in terms of ideological construction."

"But once it starts to take shape, the rest of the way will be easier."

"If you want to revive civilization in the wasteland, you can't just rely on ideas or technology."

“But ideas plus technology.”

"That's definitely enough."

"Very good, go ahead and do it."

Chen Jian patted Shen Yue on the shoulder, and the latter put down his bowl and walked towards the people who had finished their meal and were clearing up their dishes.

He quickly integrated into the group, laughing from time to time. At this moment, Chen Jian was finally sure that he had made the right choice in choosing the political commissar.

The winter sun gradually rises, and on the first day of the new year, this "newbie" team has had a pretty good start.

Chen Jian put down his bowl and chopsticks with satisfaction, stood up and walked back to the fortifications, and put on his own Nezha mecha.

It’s about time to go out and do something big.

At this moment, a three-dimensional map generated by Fuxi using a drone appeared on his smart eyepiece. On the map, the active red dots marked the locations of several high-threat monsters.

Today's task is to erase all these red dots.

But it does not rely on Chen Jian himself, but on the "main force" that Huang Yu has just trained.

Standing outside the fortifications again, Chen Jian shouted an order:
"Everyone assemble!"

At once, all the soldiers who were resting on the spot stood up, gathered together in a not very skillful and slightly chaotic but quick enough way, and formed a neat queue.

Chen Jian looked around and then said:

"According to drone reconnaissance intelligence, monster traces have been found in many places outside the 011 fortification, posing a threat to our communication base stations, roads and other infrastructure, as well as the safety of personnel in the base."

"After discussion by the command team, the combat deployment is now as follows."

"All Chinese Army combatants assemble. I and Huang Yu will lead the team to the place where the monsters appear and carry out the cleanup operation."

"any questions?"

"no!"

A uniform response sounded, and Chen Jian waved his hand and gave the order:
“Get ready in 5 minutes!”

"Then set off!"
