Chapter 293 Will there be an 8-hour work system at the end of the world?

But now Xiao Cai's so-called success is very fragile.

A coal mine is an open pile of coal, a timber is an open pile of wood, and steel is an open pile of scrap iron.

And open-air resources are few.

Sitting and eating, Xiaocai must build an industrial system to maintain people's survival before these initial open-air resources are exhausted.

At the same time, due to the freezing weather, many people suffered from frostbite and fell ill at work, so Xiaocai had to build two ambulance stations.

Xiao Cai soon encountered the first problem - lack of human resources.

There are only 80 people. After removing the children, the working population will be even smaller.

And this only labor force needs to dig coal, dig wood, hunt, produce food, and develop technology and so on.

Fortunately, the system prompts at this time that in order to survive, players can promulgate codes and use policy changes to fight for survival.

In view of the current shortage of manpower, Xiaocai can only choose to let people work longer hours.

Such as the signing of new codes: emergency shifts and extended shifts.

Contingency Shift: Sometimes we have to focus on the job at hand at the expense of everything else or die.

Contingency Shifts: Building cities in this frigid purgatory requires sacrifice, and workers can do more work if their shifts are delayed.

Xiao Cai first signed the emergency shift code, which will allow employees in one location to work continuously for 24 hours.

The citizens in the game suddenly complained.

Of course, there are also a small number of high-minded citizens who approve of Xiao Cai's decision. They believe that only by working harder can they survive the cruel doomsday.

Xiao Cai turned to her colleagues with some hesitation: "Although we all don't like to work overtime, in this kind of apocalypse, it shouldn't be a problem to extend working hours, right?"

Colleagues responded surprisingly unanimously.

"Our generation of dreamers have to work overtime! Why do refugees like them in the last days still have an 8-hour work system?"

"It's normal to work overtime, and we also work overtime."

"In the last days, it's good to be alive, but complaining after working overtime is really troublesome!"

"If you dare to make trouble again, put the troublemaker in the ice and snow and shoot JJ bullets a hundred times!"

"It's not good for a girl to say this?"

"The old man is a female man!"

All in all, everyone agreed that Xiaocai signed the emergency shift code.

Afterwards, Xiaocai signed another law code-delayed shifts.

If the emergency shift is a short-term emergency, then the delayed shift is normalized overtime.

After signing the extended shift, Xiaocai can extend the working hours of any workplace to 14 hours.

Working for 14 hours in the low temperature of tens of degrees below zero is much more difficult than working for 14 hours in modern society.

Coupled with the background of the era set by the game, it is the second half of the nineteenth century when the labor movement was surging.

Therefore, after Xiaocai successively signed the two codes of emergency shifts and delayed shifts, the public's dissatisfaction has increased a lot, and there have been many complaints on the game screen.

The onlookers immediately defended Xiao Cai: "These troublemakers!"

"It's hard to survive, but in the end, I don't even want to work!"

"Hmph! Little Cai, you've done a great job! Surviving in the last days is everything!"

Xiao Cai thought so too.

After signing the code, Xiao Cai continued to use the overtime function to improve work efficiency and collect more resources.

Until an event popped up in the game - death from overwork.

One of us died suddenly while working the emergency shift, we don't know what happened, maybe it was a heart attack.

Xiao Cai froze in place, and the onlookers behind Xiao Cai also fell silent.

In the end, it was Xiaocai who said: "Hey, I wanted to save everyone, but I didn't expect to die from overwork in the end."

Hua'er also said: "Perhaps we shouldn't be black-hearted capitalists, and we must guarantee the breaks at work."

Juan'er said: "It's too pitiful. In the future, it's better not to use the emergency shift. Except for a few key positions, the delayed shift should also be cancelled."

Xiao Cai glanced at the coal, timber, and steel she had in stock, and said in embarrassment: "Hey, but such resources are probably not enough!"

"Food is very tight now. If you don't work overtime, you will starve to death."

Someone suggested: "Build another hunter's lodge and increase the food supply!"

"Where did the population come from?"

At this time, the system happened to prompt that Xiaocai could sign a new law code, and Xiaocai found a possibly suitable law code in the law code, so choose one of the two codes.

Children's Shelter: A new building appears - Shelter.

Hope increased, giving all children a place in the shelter and permanent hope, but must build a shelter.

Child Labor - Safe Jobs: Children can work in safe places.

Hope is lowered and child laborers may be injured in accidents.

Xiao Cai said hesitantly: "Using child labor to go to some safe positions, so that adults can be assigned to other positions, seems to be able to solve the problem of shortage of manpower."

"But I always feel that it is not good to use child labor."

"I feel that the game "Frostpunk" not only allows us to survive and pass the level, but also allows us to make choices in the last days..."

"I've always been against child labor, so I'd better not sign this code."

"However, I will not sign the children's shelter for the time being, because I feel that we are still poor now, and the children's shelter is too luxurious. We will see the situation later."

Other colleagues also think that there is no need to sign the child labor code for the time being, and after the karoshi incident just now, they no longer keep calling survival above all else.

Hua'er said to Xiao Cai: "Well, it seems that the codes of "Frozen Age" cannot be signed casually, especially some controversial codes, we must be cautious."

Temporarily not signing the Child Labor Code, let alone the Children's Shelter Code, Xiao Cai instead signed a code on medical treatment.

This is an alternative code, namely:
Radical treatment: critically ill patients will receive radical treatment at the ambulance station.The hope value increases slightly; the ambulance station reaches 30% critically ill patients will be amputated; the dissatisfaction value will increase slightly.

Life support: Critical patients will be kept alive (but not treated) at the ambulance station; hope will be slightly increased; discontent will be slightly increased; critical patients will not be treated, they are still a burden; critical patients will occupy the ambulance station.

Xiaocai repeatedly compared the functions of the two codes, and finally decided to sign the radical cure.

Radical treatment: We will do our best to cure critically ill patients by surgical operation or even amputation.

Severe frostbite requires amputation, Xiaocai is also clear about this, serious patients ring, this is very scientific.

But soon there was a new problem!
