Lin Xi looked around and roughly understood his mistake.

According to the standards of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the residents of this settlement can be said to be extremely poor and backward in technology. Several large-scale power generation technologies are not available because of the lack of electrical equipment, and the low oxygen content makes combustion very difficult, and small generators are out of the question.

As for batteries, even fuel cells or bio-batteries, the technical level is far beyond the current level of settlements, let alone polymer batteries. Micro fusion batteries were also a cutting-edge technology in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

The easiest and cheapest way is to add oxidizer directly to the fuel.

Everyone went up to the second floor. There were two bedrooms and a storage room on the second floor, which contained several guns and some ammunition, as well as knives, armor, and some special hunting tools.

There is a ladder leading to the top floor on the second floor, and the sealed door of the exit is opened a line.

Li Ruobai went out to have a look, saw the open bunker on the third floor, and climbed back to the second floor.

Chu Jungui looked at an oxygen storage tank by the wall. The gauge on the oxygen tank showed that it was still a third full. This old-fashioned pressure gauge made him feel rather novel. Even in Xinzheng, these are old antiques that can only be seen in museums.

According to Chu Jungui's perception, the oxygen content in the room is about 18%, and it is still dropping slowly. The armors of the four all have their own air filtration and oxygen supply capabilities, and they don't feel it at all. Aum was a little short of breath. He reached out and unscrewed the oxygen tank, released some oxygen, and filled the small tank on his back.

Li Ruobai touched the oxygen tank and asked, "Where does the oxygen come from?"

"We have our own oxygen supply machine. But the raw materials need to be bought from the city."

"Go and see."

"I'll take you there."

Aum led the four of them out, then walked into the next door, and said, "This is Bonnie's house. Her husband died two years ago, and her life is very bad. You can go in and have a look, and you can get a general idea of ​​us." What kind of life do people live here.”

The four of them were also curious, so naturally they would not object. Opportunities like this to look at human life hundreds of years ago are rare.

Bonnie's home had only two floors and was much smaller. There was only one bedroom on the second floor, and the oxygen tanks used were much smaller. As for the first floor, the number of carbon rods used as fuel is also very small.

Oxygen and carbon rods with additives are the common currency of the people in the settlement. If there is one more thing to add, it is weapons and ammunition. These three things are very few in Bonnie's house, obviously she is really poor.

After looking at the homes of the two residents, the next step is some important public facilities in the settlement. The main facilities here include three places: oxygen supply station, water room, and cold storage.

The water room provides filtered drinking water, and the cold storage is an indispensable facility for food storage. Both locations are connected to small generators to keep them running.

There are three small generators throughout the settlement, all of which run on biodiesel, most of which are consumed by the oxygen station.

The oxygen supply station here is a three-story building, and the first floor is the filling workshop, which is dedicated to oxygenating the empty oxygen tanks of various companies. The second floor is some independent sealed rooms, the oxygen concentration inside can be breathed directly. Some hunters who can't afford the oxygen fee can live here, and several people share a room to minimize the oxygen fee.

On the stairs leading to the third floor, there is a heavy iron door with several locks. Aum took out the key, unlocked the locks one by one, pushed open the iron door, led the four of them up to the third floor, and said, "This is the most important place in the entire settlement. Everyone's oxygen source is placed here."

Aum pushed open a door, and there were large plastic buckets in the back room, all sealed tightly.

Aum pointed to several plastic buckets connected to the pipes by the wall, and said, "As long as they are connected to the pipes, oxygen can be provided continuously. Such a bucket is enough for a family to use for a month."

Several other rooms are filled with similar plastic buckets.

Without being polite, Li Ruobai moved an unused bucket, cut the sealing strip with a knife, opened the lid, and saw that there was a milky white viscous liquid inside, with bubbles constantly bubbling out of it. He picked it up with a knife, scanned the composition, and said: "It is a little more efficient than the oxygen supply solution used in the AIP technology of old submarines. There is no difference in essence. It is not in the same order of magnitude as our solid-state oxygen supply technology." superior."

"Where do these oxygen tanks come from?" Lin Xi asked.

"I bought it in the city. Every time I go to replace the old barrel with a new one, I just pay the fee."

"Go to the city hall." Li Ruobai said.

"There's no town hall here."

"Then go to your house, anyway, I want to find a place with a map. Including the city and surrounding areas, don't tell me there is no."

Aum sighed and said, "Go to my house."

After leaving the oxygen supply station, I saw a few small shops on the road, some selling prey fur, and some selling homemade tools, ammunition and so on. Now the small shops are all empty, and the shopkeepers are still standing outside the settlement.

Aum's house is the only four-story building in the entire settlement, which not only has a kitchen, a living room, but also a dedicated bathroom. Here, too, hot water is a luxury. Any place that needs to use fuel needs a combustion aid, which is equivalent to consuming oxygen.

Aum even has a study room of his own. On the wall is a topographic map of the surrounding area, which not only marks the city, but also the location of five or six settlements. There are also some special marks, which should be some resources. production point.

All four of them have the functions of taking pictures and scanning helmets, and they can firmly memorize the map at a glance.

"Is there a map with a wider range?"

"What do you want that thing for?" Aum felt puzzled.

"Don't you want to see it from afar?"

"People of my grandfather's generation built this settlement. Until now, there are still many places around that have not been thoroughly explored. If you want to go far, you must have fuel and oxygen."

Li Ruobai and Lin Xi looked at each other, and then asked, "Where did you come from? How did you get to this planet? How long have you been here?"

Aum took off his breathing mask, took a sip of water, and said, "This is a long time ago, so long that it has almost become a legend. Fortunately, my father told me something when he was alive."

"It is said that our ancestors came from the depths of the universe. They lost their way while exploring the starry sky and came here. At that time, the immigrant spacecraft they took had no ability to travel far again, so they had to settle here."

Li Ruobai's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Where is that immigrant spaceship now?"

Once the immigrant spaceship is found, it is natural to find out where it came from. Hundreds of years ago, the star fields explored by human beings were quite limited. Once you find its starting point, you will naturally find your way home.

Aum glanced at him, pointed to the huge brown planet on the sky outside the window, and said, "It's on there."

Li Ruobai sneered suddenly, "Your joke is not funny."
