Hand over the jade seal first [Infrastructure]

Langzhong left here after he was done, and he had to go back to study the documents brought back by Xiao Zirong.

Xiao Xuexing asked someone to bring some books over, but he couldn't feel at ease here, and would get up from time to time to check on Xiao Zirong to make sure that the other party was still alive.

Xiao Zirong only found out three days after Xiao Xuexing moved in. At that time, his body was a little bit stronger, and although he still had a low fever, he was already much better.

Now he feels that it should not be an epidemic. After all, in Yuan Ke's underground palace, he heard from those people that the epidemic occurred very quickly, and people died within five days.

He is still fine now, even if he still has a low-grade fever, it is probably due to inflammation in his body, if it is like this, it will be fine to drink the medicine for two more days.

Of course, the easiest way is probably to eat sulfa, but he just learned that the output of sulfa is not very high now, and it has been supplying Xiao Xuexing.

Xiao Zirong was wondering at first, how could it be so poor in efficiency?Can only supply Xiao Xuexing alone?

It was only later that he learned that unless there is a complete industrial system for machines to replace humans in chemical experiments, or chemical preparation, various problems will always arise during the preparation process.

Of course, the most important thing is that one of the generators is broken, and they don't know how to repair it. Fortunately, Xiao Zirong is not at home, so he can use the lights, and the remaining generator can still support it.

Otherwise, Xiao Xuexing's medicine might have to be stopped.

When Xiao Zirong knew about this, his desire to survive became stronger. He couldn't just watch Xiao Xuexing stop taking the medicine.

This kind of medicine needs to be taken continuously to completely eliminate the inflammation, otherwise all previous efforts will be wasted.

Under such circumstances, Xiao Zirong's health really began to gradually improve, and he was able to get up and walk around.

Then...he saw that the house diagonally opposite him was inhabited.

At first he thought it was the doctor, stood at his door and yelled twice, watching Xiao Xuexing push the door out, he was dumbfounded.

Seeing him standing there, Xiao Xuexing asked with a somewhat relieved look: "How is today?"

Xiao Zirong stared at him stupidly for a while, then quickly turned around and went back to the room, closing the door directly.

Xiao Xuexing raised his eyebrows, walked over slowly, knocked on the door and said, "Open the door."

Xiao Zirong's angry voice came from inside: "I don't!"

Xiao Xuexing stretched out his hand to push it, and found that Xiao Zirong had actually locked the door from the inside, so he stood at the door and said, "Don't make trouble."

Xiao Zirong asked: "Didn't I tell you not to let you come?"

Xiao Xuexing was very calm: "But I'm already here."

Xiao Zirong leaned his back against the door panel and almost died of anger: "I told you that I might be infected with the plague..."

"Isn't there no infection?" Xiao Xuexing's tone was very relaxed, even with a little smile: "Didn't the doctor say that the possibility of you being infected is very low."

Langzhong read all the research letters on Yuan Ke's side, and found that the main direction of their efforts now is to make the plague more contagious, slow down the onset speed, and increase the fatality rate.

Of course, this is what Xiao Zirong summed up after listening.

But the current plague is too fast and contagious. As long as it is in a confined space, it will definitely be infected, but they haven't conducted research outside.

Xiao Zirong's symptoms can almost be ruled out to be plague infection, and it is more likely to be the body's natural reaction caused by being too tired on the road, coupled with poor eating and sleeping.

Xiao Zirong was even angrier after hearing this: "Just because I don't have the infection doesn't mean I don't have it, and what if there is an incubation period?"

He might not be blighted right now, but that risk can't be completely ruled out.

Before, Xiao Xuexing came to see him every day and talked to him. At that time, he thought it was inconvenient for Xiao Xuexing to come and go, so he was not allowed to run away. Who knew that the other party actually knew who was opposite him.

Xiao Xuexing stood at the door and said: "Then I've already stayed, you really don't see me?"

Xiao Zirong leaned against the door panel and waited for a long while, and then opened the door after being depressed for a long while, but still put on the cloth towel soaked in herbs and said, "Then...then you can only stay for a while."

Xiao Xuexing smiled slightly, then frowned after he stepped in.

The place where Xiao Zirong lived was really not that good. He got sick after he came in, so he didn't do much. Later, someone came to clean up, but Xiao Zirong didn't let them stay for too long, he just asked them to help him like it. Just change the bedding and get rid of the trash.

From Xiao Xuexing's point of view, the environment of the whole room was extremely bad, and there was even a slight musty smell, which even the incense couldn't hide.

Seeing his frowning, Xiao Zirong couldn't help but blushed. He had been sick these days, and he didn't dare to take a bath. At most, he just wiped his body with a damp cloth. His personal hygiene conditions were really poor.

Xiao Zirong whispered, "Why don't we go out and talk."

Even if we are alone, being in an open space is better than being in a house.

Xiao Xuexing also felt that the room was too dark, so he turned around and dragged Xiao Zirong out, and asked someone to help Xiao Zirong clean up the house while getting some food and drink.

It was completely useless for Xiao Zirong to protest a few words, so he had no choice but to take a bound document and sit outside with Xiao Xuexing in the sun, chatting.

Xiao Xuexing prepared a bunch of food for him to eat, but Xiao Zirong refused to take off the facecloth, and said in a muffled voice, "You eat, I have no appetite."

After he finished speaking, Xiao Xuexing reached out and squeezed his shoulder.

Xiao Zirong was startled by him and quickly avoided: "Don't, I may have germs on my body."

But Xiao Xuexing said: "Your clothes have been washed with special medicines, so nothing will happen."

He frowned as he spoke, Xiao Zirong had suffered a lot these days. He had regained his body, but now he has lost a lot of weight. His shoulders are full of bones when he touches them, and the clothes that fit him seem to look It's a lot empty.

After so many days, Xiao Xuexing was frightened, and the original anger had long since dissipated, so he didn't blame him at this time, but said: "I will make up for it when I go back."

Xiao Zirong suddenly felt a sense of urgency when he heard the word "go back". He had already prepared for the worst before and explained everything. He didn't dare to think too much about Taoyuan City. Sad.

Now he was almost sure that there was nothing wrong with him, he didn't dare to relax but just wanted to be on the safe side, when he heard Xiao Xuexing say that, he really wanted to go back.

Xiao Zirong still had no strength in his body, he leaned lazily on the back of the chair and said, "I don't know how Xuexue is doing."

Xiao Xuexing said: "When you grow up, I'm afraid you won't be able to recognize him when you go back."

The cubs of the small animals grow up very quickly, changing almost every day. Xiao Zirong has been away for two months, and it will be about three months when he returns.

The pup must have grown a lot.

Xiao Zirong felt a little regretful, he didn't get the little wolf cub when he was the cutest.

But he didn't dare to say it, he was afraid of what he would do if Xiao Xuexing got angry and wanted to beat him up.

Xiao Zirong sneaked a few glances at Xiao Xuexing, and Xiao Xuexing raised his eyelids: "Just say what you want to say."

Xiao Zirong blinked, quickly handed over the document and said, "Brother, this is my recent drawing, and it's all about the coast and harbor of Wei State."

Xiao Xuexing took it and didn't look at it, just frowned and said: "Didn't I tell you to take good care of your illness and don't waste your energy?"

Xiao Zirong quickly said: "I'm just lying on the bed and I'm just thinking about it. I might as well find something to do."

In fact, he was worried that if he really contracted the disease and could not be cured, this thing must be kept. Even if it is not used now, it may be used in the future.

What if it can give Xiao Xuexing some inspiration?

Xiao Xuexing knew it well, glanced at him, looked down at the document and asked, "Why is it the seaside?"

Geography of mountains and rivers is indeed useful, but few people will record the conditions of the seaside.

Xiao Zirong said in a low voice: "I originally wanted to start building the ship when I came back."

"Huh?" Xiao Xuexing looked up at him: "Shipbuilding?"

Xiao Zirong nodded: "Yes, at first I just wanted to build some fishing boats. There are a lot of delicious seafood in the sea, and some of them have medicinal value. Later, I thought that since we have built ships, we should build warships together. , when the time comes to attack Wei, it should also be used. Didn’t they ever think of attacking from the sea? We will deal with them in their own way.”

Xiao Xuexing nodded and said, "It's not easy."

He didn't want to hit Xiao Zirong, but an objective fact.

Landing from the sea requires more people, but not so many resources to carry. Unless both sides are engaged in a naval battle, it is meaningless just to land.

So what if you log in unprepared?If it is difficult to transport grain and grass, there are not enough supplies, and even if there are not many people, it will be difficult to form an effective attack, and it will only waste money.

Xiao Zirong was not discouraged, and said seriously: "It's not easy, but we have electricity."

Xiao Xuexing looked up at him: "Huh?"

Xiao Zirong said with a smile: "Having electricity can solve many things. In terms of power, it can free up more manpower and weapons... We will definitely have to research the supporting things by then, not to mention that we will not be able to do so in the short term. Civil war is a long-term plan, and an industrial base needs to be built before that."

Xiao Xuexing didn't doubt Xiao Zirong's ability, anyway, he had made a lot of things, so his words were more convincing.

He closed the document slowly, and Xiao Zirong asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Is this not good?"

Xiao Xuexing nodded: "Okay, that's good, then the problem is that you risked yourself to go to Wei State just because of such a small matter? This is not your character, tell me, what problems did you encounter?"

Xiao Zirong: ...
