After dealing with these things, Gu Yuanping had the two bodies taken away, and Han Ying paid for the gasoline for the cremation herself.

The body was taken away and everyone else left, but Gu Yuanping showed no intention of leaving.

Seeing that Gu Yuanping might have something to discuss with them, Han Ying asked Lei Minghu and Qin Qinghai to wait in the car first.

When we entered the ranch office, it was a bit narrow, so we each found a stool and sat down.

Gu Yuanping seemed to be hesitant to speak, and Han Ying and Lu Yuan did not urge him. Judging from his expression, he seemed to have something to ask for.

"You know that seawater has become deadly water, right?"

Gu Yuanping thought about it and decided to get straight to the point.

"Yeah, we know."

After hearing Gu Yuanping's words, the two looked at each other, and Lu Yuan nodded.

Han Ying and Lu Yuan naturally knew about this. Not long after arriving in Jiangcheng, Han Ying threw 1000 empty containers onto the beach.

The containers were not discovered until several days later, and the two men originally thought that the authorities had only gone to the beach at that time.

But later the two learned from Liu Hefeng that there were people guarding the beach to prevent people from getting close to get water.

However, the place where Han Ying and Lu Yuan went was very far from the sea, and it was difficult to get water. People who wanted to get water would not go there, so they patrolled that place less frequently.

It was precisely because she knew that seawater could not be used that Han Ying took out so much water from the space when the entire Jiangcheng was suffering from such a serious water shortage.

If sea water could be used, she wouldn't have to take out that water at all.

"When shoveling snow inside the base, I also try not to let people dump it into the sea. After all, this snow may be life-saving water after the extreme cold ends. After mixing with seawater, this snow water cannot be used anymore."

"It's not that seawater can't be treated, but the cost is too high. During the extremely hot weather and the period when it didn't snow, we had to purify some of it. The purification materials only go out, not in. Now the base has basically no ability to purify seawater, so the salt problem is a problem."

Gu Yuanping knew that these issues should be considered by him and Ke Qin, the two base commanders.

However, the two racked their brains and could not think of any other solution except sending a message to Kyoto, gathering information from other bases, and looking for middlemen to find a solution.

After all, a good cook cannot cook without rice. The research institute has the technology to purify seawater, but it does not have the corresponding raw materials to use.

"The deputy base commander wants us to help buy salt from somewhere else?"

Han Ying really didn't expect Gu Yuanping to tell them about this.

"Buying salt can only solve the problem temporarily. You guys go out a lot, so I want you to see if you can find out how other bases solve the salt problem while you're out."

As for salt, Kozin can actually exchange some for food from other bases.

But the ocean is not Jiangcheng’s ocean, and other places cannot get salt from the ocean either.

Unless they still have access to mineral salt or rock salt.

"Deputy Base Commander, we haven't been out for a long time, and we don't know the situation outside now."

Lu Yuan thought about it and did not agree immediately.

Although after the incident where Tangyuan was injured, the two planned to go out again after the Lantern Festival.

After all, only meteorites can make Tianchi produce more spiritual liquid.

The two had long guessed that the reason Tangyuan could still fight with the male wolf after losing so much blood must be because he had eaten the spiritual liquid.

So while you can still get meteorites, make a few more trips.

Make the vitality of himself, Han Ying and Tang Yuan stronger. Perhaps in the future this strong vitality can save their lives at some point.

"The salt supply at the base can last for a few months. I will send people out to find a solution during these months."

"I just want you to get more information on this matter if you have the chance. Of course, if you need any help from the base, you can also ask for it."

Gu Yuanping did not forget that Penglai Base still owed Han Ying and Lu Yuan a condition.

But what he said today does not fall within that condition.

"Some time ago, we heard a word outside that we thought was interesting. I wonder if the deputy base commander has heard of it."

Han Ying knew that Lu Yuan said that just for now, so she cooperated and asked.

"What word?"

Gu Yuanping sat up straight and asked curiously.

"New world!"

Han Ying showed a faint smile on her face, as if she had just heard this word casually.

"New world?"

Hearing this word, Gu Yuanping stood up directly from his chair.

Seeing Gu Yuanping's reaction, Han Ying knew that Gu Yuanping had heard of this word.

"Yes, it's the new world!" Han Ying said seriously.

"I don't know what version you heard. If I say that I heard this word from outside when the base commander was out, would you believe me if I tell you again?"

Gu Yuanping was also shocked when he heard this word from Ke Qin's mouth. No such news had been heard from Kyoto.

Of course, it is also possible that it was not intended to be spread.

So Gu Yuanping and Ke Qin were not sure whether the news was true or false.

If it is true, then judging from the circumstances in which this news was concealed, that so-called new world may not be so easy to enter.

“We believe.”

This time I plan to go out again after the Lantern Festival. In addition to collecting another batch of meteorites, I also want to find out the news about this new world.

They have been staying in Jiangcheng all the time and have been cut off from news, so they should go out for a walk from time to time.

"Although I got the news from somewhere else, I personally think there is an 80% chance that it is true."

Gu Yuanping is actually not willing to admit this, because if it is true, it means that many people will eventually be abandoned.

"Thank you, deputy base commander. We will go out in half a month. Even if we can't find a solution to the salt problem by then, we should be able to bring back some salt."

After getting the answer she wanted, Han Ying didn't mind making some promises.

She had plenty of salt. She had spent a high price to find someone to contract the entire output of several salt factories and salt fields for several months. Of course, the contract was contracted when she was abroad.

In China, Han Ying doesn't have the courage to do this.

"Thank you. What do you think of what happened on New Year's Eve?"

After thinking about it, Gu Yuanping decided to talk about this matter.

"Hasn't the deputy base commander already guessed it?"

Lu Yuan didn't expect Gu Yuanping to bring up this matter at this time. He thought Gu Yuanping would know about it and would not bring it up.

When he brought it up at this time, Lu Yuan guessed that he probably wanted to ask the reason why the Tangyuan mutated.
