Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 470 Camp Construction
The messy day at Brown Bear Camp officially started after breakfast...

Huai En vowed to help Shanying build a luxurious wooden house, and also to coordinate hunters to go to the mountains to explore the location of the cattle and sheep...

He didn't know why, but since the Mountain Eagle came, the cell phone signals around him had improved. As an Indian, he was busier than the white-collar workers in the office as he kept ringing on the phone all day long.

Old Ruby and his son pulled out a wood chipper that was estimated to be 5 or years old from the warehouse, repaired it, and then cut the thick logs into -centimeter-thick wooden boards as required.

The wild sounds of the old machines made the campsite extremely noisy.

People from the city might not be able to stand this kind of noise, but the natives surprisingly liked it.

It’s not that I like noise, but I like the hustle and bustle.

In remote areas of Alaska, such large machine tools are a truly scarce resource.

Although it is old and should be put in a museum, the wood boards cut from it are just a little more wasteful and rougher than those cut by modern machines, but this is not a big deal for the indigenous people.

It is not easy to drag this large machine weighing three or four tons out from the depths of the warehouse. It has to do enough work once started before it can be sealed again.

Shanying had seen a similar scene many years ago, where farmers harvested rice or rapeseed, and then lined up in the production team's small workshop to grind the rice into rice and the rapeseed into rapeseed oil.

The production team workshop doesn’t charge any money, you just need to leave the rice bran and rapeseed cake.

Now the Brown Bear Camp has a bit of the flavor of a production team...

As soon as the old machine was turned on, the Indian brothers in the camp began to call people...

Soon, some indigenous people would arrive at the brown bear camp by boat, dragging a dozen logs, and queue up to help.

Mountain Eagle stood by and watched for a while and found that most of the wood brought by the Indians was not chopped, but picked up along the Yukon River.

Every year during the snowmelt season, floods wash large numbers of trees into the river, including many high-quality materials.

If trees are allowed to accumulate, they can easily block narrow river channels and create safety hazards.

These Indians had nothing at home and relied on God for food. When they found driftwood, they would drag it home and use it as building materials or as heating wood.

The logs that can be sent here for processing are the best ones fished out from the river. After being processed into planks, their construction cost and difficulty can be reduced by more than half.

People have the impression that log cabins are sturdy in structure and easy to build, but in fact, in areas where there is a lack of mechanical assistance, the cost and difficulty of building log cabins are very high.

If you want to build a log house of 8 or square meters that is windproof in winter and rainproof in summer, in Alaska, where the winter lasts for eight months, it will require an experienced carpenter with a few helpers to work for two or even three years.

By comparison, building a house out of wooden planks is so fast!
It is no exaggeration to say that every time old Ruby turns on the engine, the native people of Alaska can build more than a dozen houses.

Those natives who came to saw wood did not come empty-handed. You brought a hundred fish, I brought a reindeer, and at the very least, they would bring a few buckets of berries.

They were not idle during the waiting period. Some went to help with the construction site of the wooden house, while others simply unloaded the wood and went to the wetlands across the river to fish and hunt. All the fish and prey were then sent to the camp for everyone to share.

No one talked about money, and no one was sneaky or cunning. As long as there was movement, no one was idle...

Not to mention people, even passing dogs were harnessed and forced into the woods, dragging plastic sleds to help bring back the mushrooms and berries picked by the women.

If it weren't for the fact that these people's dress and language didn't match, Shanying would even feel like he had returned to the production team era.

Who said America is a capitalist country? This is socialism!
This kind of socialism is only possible where per capita resources are extremely abundant and where the role of money is not ranked high.

Compared to old Ruby who guarded the sawmill and enjoyed the favor of the Indians, young Ruby seemed much more pragmatic and focused.

Although this silly guy is not very smart, he is definitely a good worker and he has maxed out all the practical skills related to construction, maintenance and driving.

While others were busy sawing wood and building houses, little Ruby, with the help of a small excavator, built a greenhouse with an area of nearly 600 square meters on a piece of land vacated by clearing garbage, according to the drawings of the greenhouse ordered by Shanying.

With the help of finished aluminum alloy profiles, concrete foundation piles and transparent plastic panels, a large dome-shaped greenhouse was completed in just half a month.

When the mountain eagle strolled over, little Ruby was pondering the thick instruction manual. He needed to install a ventilation fan on the top of the greenhouse, and he also planned to install diversion troughs on both sides to collect rainwater for internal irrigation.

Even because of the large number of photovoltaic panels and batteries, this engineer, whose IQ is only in the 90s, is almost designing a drip irrigation system.

The only problem is that even with these facilities, the greenhouse cannot meet the conditions for growing vegetables in Alaska in winter. Shanying chatted with little Ruby for a while, and then encouraged him with admiration to keep working hard and find a way to get another geothermal system.

There are live plans on the Internet. Just build a boiler and lay pipes on the ground. Then, learn from those who grow marijuana and install solar lamps inside. This way, even if Alaska enters the polar night, you can still grow vegetables in this greenhouse in winter.

Little Ruby is very good at hands-on work. After the boss's "instructions", he suddenly realized the truth and swore to complete the greenhouse that the boss wanted and plant all the vegetables in it before winter came.

Shanying really likes this atmosphere...

If Luna didn't always come to make trouble, her son wouldn't always complain that he couldn't beat Luna and that he needed to eat more beef so that he could duel with her, and time would pass faster.

Finally, he had to put aside his scientific discussion with little Ruby, told the engineer not to worry too much, and then sent the group of energetic bear children to the nursery of the brown bear camp to help, where there were now 15 infants and toddlers aged 0 to 2 years old.

Sapsiree, the girl rescued by Shanying in Thailand, has not had time to talk to her boss since he came, because she is exhausted from taking care of a dozen children who need someone to take care of them.

Even with the help of the Indian woman, Sasiri had lost all the weight she had gained in Sunset Mountain in the one and a half months since the mountain eagle fell. Now she looked like she could fly away with a slight breeze.

Shanying felt sorry for the girl, but he was not the kind of boss who would advise people to take a rest, because people’s condition could not be deceived...

If you don't like it and you're working hard just to show me, you won't be able to persist for long and will end up being lazy.

If you like it, it's no use for me to advise you to take a rest.

What a qualified boss should do at this time is to give employees a raise, so that those who don’t like the job can stick with it longer, and those who like the job can get a matching salary.

After announcing a salary increase for Sapsiree, Shanying handed a few active children to Sapsiree and asked her to teach these naughty kids how to take care of younger babies and let them understand the difficulties of their parents.

Don't be too meticulous. They are all poor children. Just handle them with care, make sure they are well fed and healthy.

While the Mountain Eagle was busy, a small transport plane circled over the camp for a few times, and then landed on a distant runway under the radio command of Little Ruby.

Little Ruby drove a trailer loaded with wood to the side of the runway...

He first greeted the pilot, then waved enthusiastically to his acquaintance Tiffany and shouted, "Hey, Tiffany, here, get in the car..."

The tall, honey-skinned, black-wavy Redbird whistled and said to Tiffany, who was packing her backpack, with a smile, "Wow, I didn't expect you to be so popular. You can tell at a glance that you're a good guy. At least he won't sue his wife to take away the custody of the child..."

The redbird looked at the short white chick hummingbird wearing glasses and said, "Don't you think so?"

The harmless-looking hummingbird raised its middle finger to the cardinal and cursed: "FUCK YOU..."

Tiffany turned around and glared at Redbird, and said, "Don't talk nonsense, little Ruby is not smart, he will take whatever you say seriously."

Redbird has an outspoken personality. She pouted and said, "OK, I won't say anything..."

As she said this, she turned to look at the two decadent men who got off the plane last, and shouted, "Hey, useless brothers, can you guys hurry up? Our car is here."

A middle-aged man with a beard and a long face turned his baseball cap the other way around, put on a big bag, and said with a tired expression, "Okay, as long as you're happy..."

As he spoke, another short and stocky ginger-headed guy carried a similar large bag on his back and walked towards Little Ruby, while giving Redbird a middle finger...

"FUCK YOU..."

Redbird seemed to enjoy being scolded. She stretched her upper arms, took a deep breath of the Alaskan air, and shouted loudly: "I like it here, I like the feeling of freedom..."

Miranda was wearing a black suit with the collar of her silk shirt turned outside, looking quite smart and professional.

Facing the indulgent Red Sparrow, Miranda said seriously: “You have to restrain yourself, we must first pass the interview before we can find a stable job.

Otherwise you'll be back in the strip club, feeding yourself off the consumption of those nymphomaniacs."

Red Sparrow obviously respected Miranda. She shrugged and said, "It's just an interview. Are we going to lose to the loser brothers?"

Tiffany was very familiar with the three people. As she pushed Red Sparrow into the car, she said, "The soldiers from CCT and MRR are not useless...

They just don't want to sleep with you, they're not real losers!"
