Chapter 283: The Fire of Creation Spreads to Cambridge

The Inuit are one of Greenland's inhabitants.

Their protection from the cold is to follow the principle that hot air does not escape downwards and to pay attention to the sealing effect, such as boots and leather pants, and the upper end of the mitten that wraps around the forearm like a sleeve.

In addition, they used wolverine or arctic wolf skin on the edge of the cap, as this fur does not freeze due to breathing.

Inuit fur suits allow them to stay in temperatures as low as -50 degrees Celsius for hours without getting frozen.

This has also become the goal of the British people who have taken refuge.

However, most people don't understand the principle of this, thinking that the Arctic specialty fur is the key, and unknowingly fashioning warm clothing.

Kane knows the principle, and he also understands that the head is the strongest source of heat dissipation in the human body.

Also, in Greenland, the cold from the ground and the deep snow are all details to keep an eye on, and it's important to keep your legs and feet warm.

Therefore, his leather suit is not lacking in style design, and it also takes care of the principle of warmth. And the materials and styles are far more elaborate than ordinary things.

He wears a pair of sealskin leather pants underneath, which have undergone a number of processes, including supernatural means, so that what looks like a dark pattern for the sake of beauty is actually magical.

The knee-length boots are equally understated and luxurious, made of musk leather. Strong and non-slip, light and warm, the toe, heel and ankle parts of the boots are specially protected, anti-collision and anti-torsion, and the boot part can also be adjusted to tighten, taking into account the effect of the leggings.

The inner outfit of the upper body is more fashionable, with a high-necked fleece hunting suit, a compact heel, and a leather robe with a half-coat outside, which is made of white bear fur from December.

The skin of the white bear is black, and the hair is a colorless hollow tube, on which the sunlight is refracted to look white, this hollow hair is water and heat insulation, with a body of fat, is the magic weapon of the white bear to survive in the Arctic cold.

Kane didn't have the habit of wearing fur backwards (the fluffy side facing outward), but with the neck of the arctic fox, this one was enough to show off his luxury.

The tightly embedded wolfskin hat looks a little silly on the head, but it doesn't feel like it with the goggles.

In short, to be handsome, to have a fan, and indeed to do it, look at the world of faces, the more you lack hard power, the more you have to frame your face.

Piloting the airship to west-southwest for more than 30 kilometers, Kane was attracted by the word SOS on the ground with stones.

It's impossible to determine if someone called for help, or if they forgot to dismantle a previously used one.

Eventually, he decided to go down and have a look.

It's been a while since I've been in Greenland, and I haven't seen a single living person, so it's good to be able to find half of them to talk to.

Shortly after the airship landed, Kane discovered a cavern whose remnants and smells made him realize that it had once been a bear's den.

However, this season, the white bear is busy with hungry belly problems, as well as mating, and should not be at home.

Soon, he realized that there was no need to be careful, there were indeed people in the cave, three.

"Oh, thank God, it's finally here. The able-bodied little man was somewhat surprised to see Kane, but his surprise soon turned to joy.

Kane rolled his eyes secretly: "It's me who came, thank God for the dry hair? Besides, I didn't say that I would definitely help?"

Talking to the little man, he learned that the three of them planned to go to New Liverpool and even Port Hope.

"I know, I know! I just escaped from New Liverpool. Tom and I fled to New Cambridge, which was not much better off than New Liverpool, but we learned the lessons of New Liverpool and tried to be in this together, but it still failed. ”

"So what do you want from New Liverpool and Port Hope. ”

"We think that after such a long time, maybe a new fleet of refuge ships will arrive. We are in dire need of food, medicine, and most importantly, we lack a leader who can get us out of our troubles. Tom said and peeked at Kane.

The brain-inserted puppet with the appearance of a forty-year-old uncle is the type that can easily recognize his identity as a decent person. The tone and attitude of speaking, the demeanor and demeanor revealed between words and deeds, can make people feel the characteristics of being accustomed to commanding others.

Kane scoffed in his heart: "Cambridge lacks a leader, and this meme is brought back to the origin world, and it is estimated that it will make people outside the UK laugh for a week." It's just ironic enough. ”

"You should know more about current events on the radio. The transport chain has not been restored since it was disconnected. No fleet is willing to cross increasingly icy seas, and it probably won't be in the next few years. ”

Tom looked desperate when he heard this, and muttered, "We're done!"

Kane laughed: "Breaking yourself happily is also a way out." Or, maybe it's a day to live. I can help check on both of your companions. ”

"Oh, oh, thank you. Tom flashed aside and asked, "You're a doctor?"

"It can be. I'm Stephen Hawking and I have seven degrees, including a Doctor of Clinical Medicine. Kane said as he quickly checked on the two of them.

A cold and a fracture are not a serious illness, but there is no medical treatment, the diet cannot keep up, and the poor conditions make it a life-threatening situation.

"It's useless to treat it here, so let's avoid the refuge first. ”

Greenland, even in the tundra region, has only dwarf birch, willow and alder bushes, so there is no need to think about making stretchers or anything, Kane and Tom carry the two seriously ill on the airship with winter mats.

Tom was not surprised by the airship, many shelters were basically available, and the airship in New Cambridge was unusable because there was no kerosene. Tom's distress pattern is for the airship in the air.

Near noon, the airship arrived at New Liverpool, more than 50 kilometers from Deep Winter City.

It can be seen that this place was originally built like a good building. People took advantage of the existing terrain to expand a roughly circular sinkhole.

In this way, when viewed from the sky, it is a large round pit dug into a winding canyon glacier.

The glacier has long run out of water to run. A steel bridge was erected near the pit and a hoist was installed.

However, it seems that most of the supplies here are delivered by airships.

It is estimated that it was snatched in the same way, but due to poor management, some of it was flooded by the melted water that was excavated during the excavation of the sinkhole, and it was frozen there and survived.

The overall situation of New Cambridge does not look much different from the original New Liverpool, which is half built. Kane reckoned that something big should have happened in New London, and then the resources were grabbed. In effect, it is tantamount to abandoning the eastern refuge and leaving the people here to fend for themselves.

As the airship landed, Kane noticed a male ice sculpture on the console next to the energy tower. The man had a mustache, wore a brocade robe, his arms were stretched out from side to side, and he stood barefoot on the vent of the energy tower's decompression valve.

In terms of dress and appearance, he should be a nobleman, and looking at the situation, Kane thinks that this man enjoyed the two heavens of ice and fire before he died. Overly abundant steam baths, and bone-chilling steam baths.

Steamed + frozen, it's a miserable death.

Seeing this man, Kane also knew why Cambridge lacked a leader.

To put it nicely: it is the people who bring you to power, and it is the people who make you step down.

To put it mildly: a leader without a gun is very difficult to be.

Pneumonia is caused by a cold, and infection is caused by improper management of fractures. In this era, the death penalty can be pronounced in advance.

But Kane has an underground cultivation base in Deep Winter City, which can be cultivated not only for vegetables, but also for medicinal plants.

For example, penicillin, a mold that can be used to extract penicillin in large quantities can be obtained from a certain melon, and this mold can be cultivated with a culture medium prepared with corn flour.

The other is the sulfonamide family, which specializes in dealing with various infections, which requires chemical synthesis, and Kane owns Yamashita City. Intentionally operating and preparing in advance was originally to deal with faith lending.

Seeing that the income and expenditure of faith \ divine power was seriously unbalanced, Kane was unwilling to be killed, and he considered that there was really no supernatural power to pay, so it was also a way to use penicillin and sulfonamides.

However, the Bay of Denes suffered only one snowstorm during the most difficult years. The pastor's spontaneous mission to Iceland was an unexpected success, and the power of faith grew in abundance.

The situation has not been so bad that emergency measures are needed.

Now that the drug manufacturing project has been launched, let's finish him. As a result, this time, Stephen Hawking is basically a strong and somewhat excessive ordinary person. The medicine he carried became one of the few ways to make him appear capable.

Kane figured that Hawking might be able to be a doctor here.

As a result, people wanted Stephen Hawking to be the leader.

"Mr. Hawking, you seem to be very capable, please lead the people of New Cambridge out of the trough!"

Hearing this, Kane's eggs hurt. "It seems to be very capable, you guys really judge people by their appearance, is this kind of play really good?"

I thought again: "Play and play, you are not afraid of being pitted to death, I beat the child on a rainy day, and I am also an idle old bird, what is there to be afraid of, at most I will lose this brain puppet, and in order to facilitate remote control, the brain magic needle strengthened with divine power has some value." ”

"Go and gather everyone to the Portal's console, and I'll give you a quick chat. ”

So half an hour later, people gathered in front of the console of the energy tower, and someone wanted to carry the body of the former leader down, but Kane refused, saying that it should be there, it was good, more than any warning proverb, and it wouldn't stink anyway.

After experiencing many European and American bloody episodes, there are not many people in New Cambridge now, even more than 100 men and women, and less than 10 people over 50 years old and under 10 years old, this demographic structure has explained a lot of problems.

The cold makes everyone have this mild frostbite, or have been frostbitten, their faces are like potato skins, dirty, dry and cracked, but the outfit is worn with a greasy effect, combined together, about only the oil rats in the sewer can be used to describe that kind of temperament, no need to go over and smell it, Kane knows that one or two of these people are already rancid.

Perhaps because they have experienced too many intense, life-and-death events, these people no longer express emotions with excitement, but are numb and gloomy.

Kane is not stage frightened, not to mention a hundred or so living people, even if they are all devils, he can also be calm.

"I'm a little embarrassed to see you like this. Kane said and pointed to himself, "Clean and tidy." Then he pointed to the crowd: "Filthy and tattered." ”

No one said anything, as if he was watching the clown act, and as if he was brewing angry emotions, Kane didn't care, and continued: "I didn't have the same characteristics as you, but the difference was obvious, which reminded you of those nobles, remembered the class, and was above ordinary people. ”

"That's right, as you think, I'm a nobleman. But I want to emphasize that I am unlike most of the nobles you have come into contact with. ”

Maybe you've all heard this before, and you're tired of hearing it, or maybe it's what he said when he took office. Kane said and pointed to the male ice sculpture, smiled and continued: "I say this directly, in order to set up a flag, what is the difference, you will taste it yourself in the next few days, not me." ”

"What did the rulers say to you in the first place? I remember a saying that went like this: 'We came to the end of the world in order to protect civilization from its own chaos.'" Of course, now you may think that this is the classic lie, and it is. ”

There were expressions on people's faces, anger, chagrin, sadness, and Kane's words were suspicious of revealing scars and reminiscing about something bad.

Someone opened up in a tone that was half complaining and half accusing: "They promised to send my family over in time." I worked day and night for more than two years, and all I got was 'Sorry, the disaster started earlier than expected, and your family was killed on the way.'" Later, by chance, I learned that my family had not been able to leave their hometown at all, and the priority for evacuation had been replaced!"

"Sorry, please mourn. Kane pointed to the accuser and said, "This gentleman's misfortune has created a very important problem, a crisis of confidence. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, there is no more important concept for us in this matter than 'trust'. I think everyone should have experienced this, each of us has our own suffering, our own demands, each of us, in the face of this catastrophe, and we are all extremely weak, if we can't show a little more trust, we can't be close together, and then we will all die, all kinds of tricks, just like the new Liverpool, and the tragedies that have been played out here. ”

Kane exclaimed, "Trust is so hard, especially in special cases where you have been hurt, betrayed, and risked your life. That's exactly what we're getting now. If you take an airship and fly high now, like the south, you can see a black line at the end of the sky, whether it is clouds and lightning, or a blizzard and a bomb cyclone, which has killed millions of people at once in Lancaster and Denes Bay. ”

After a pause for the people to digest the information, Kane continued, "You may have heard the news, but I am a witness, and I have seen with my eyes the slaughter of millions of people in the bitter cold, and I dare say that it contains all the painful expressions and sad images that humans can interpret. ”

"So, I'm not really afraid to be like him. Kane gestured to the ice sculpture behind him. "I'm standing here, I'm the only one standing here, just like you, losing my family, losing my friends, having grievances, being unwilling, having pain, and then everything becomes unimportant. ”

"What is the most important thing to ask? The rulers' high-sounding reasons have become important. It's ironic, isn't it? But that's the way it is, the resources of New Liverpool, New Cambridge are taken away and left to fend for yourselves. You are angry, you are in pain, you feel that they have robbed you, and you have figured yourself out that you can survive the catastrophe. Not really, in fact, they are once again in their own chaos. ”

"Remember, meanness is the pass of the mean, and nobility is the epitaph of the noble. In that city of refuge built on the bones of countless people, most of the people who live are shameless and compromisers of the mean. We don't have to ask God to punish them, after all, God never showed up in this catastrophe, and proved with his actions that he could not be counted on. But we can see how they die. Die of its own chaos. ”

"To see this end, to see this retribution, you have to try to believe me once. The Extreme Cold Thread of Death is almost over, and if I fail, if we fail, we will all die. So it's you guys fighting for your life, and it's me fighting for your life. What we have is a mess, we need to work a miracle to save ourselves, and there is nothing else we can do. ”

"So how did the miracle come? What did the rulers say in the first place?' We have to adapt to the environment in order to survive, in the face of difficult situations, in the face of no good but only the least bad choice, we can only endure, even need to sacrifice the ego. We don't know what this catastrophe will eventually distort our souls into, and all we can do is hope. ’”

In everyone's opinion, this may be the kind of argument that the ruler has set up for the purpose of breaking his promise after the fact. But I would say that now it has become a matter of course. Because these represent the play beyond the limit, and the play beyond the limit is the only way to create miracles. ”

"So, you elected me to be the leader. You will not be able to be comfortable, you will not be able to be relaxed, you will only be given a sentence to keep you alive, to live to witness the miracles, to witness the death of those who have afflicted you in their own despicable sights, and to achieve the great cause of the continuation of civilization. ”

"Are you ready, ready to take on this final challenge, or to serve as a footnote to the tragedy?"
