Crane's Ark of Tomorrow Daily

"En." Responding, Li Ke looked at everything around him with great interest.

"Rhode Island is divided into five floors. We entered the second floor from the deck entrance. The functions of this floor are more complicated. The training ground, cafeteria, and reception rooms are all on this floor. Most of the lower floors are They are all industrial facilities, such as refineries, power stations, and mining systems, all on the bottom three floors."

Gray Throat led Li Ke deep into this passage, while introducing him the basic situation of Rhodes Island, "As for the upper floor, it is the core part of Rhodes Island, where the medical department, nursing room and control center are located. There...it's just that there has been a problem with the medical department in the past few days, and it is undergoing maintenance, and no one else is allowed to go there."

Listening, Li Ke asked casually, "Grey Throat, let me ask you a question, how many people are there in Rhodes Island?"

"This..." Gray Throat froze for a moment before replying with some uncertainty, "I don't know the details, maybe three to four thousand people?"

"Three to 4000 people... then how long do you need to stop at the mobile city for supplies?"

"Once in the next quarter on average. The seasons are different, and the consumption level of materials on the island is also different. In summer, fresh water resources are consumed a lot, so it is necessary to stop frequently to find new water sources. In winter, this consumption is relatively small." Gray Throat thought for a while and replied.

"Once a quarter, not bad." Li Ke nodded, and he was very satisfied with Gray Throat's answer.

In his heart, a new idea has gradually emerged.

Although he has now reached an agreement with Wei Yanwu, there is a very good saying that cannot put all eggs in the same basket.

Regardless of the fact that his cooperation with Longmen is now in the honeymoon period, if there is anything missing, just tell Wei Yanwu, and Wei Yanwu will find a way to help him get it.

But the problem is that Wei Yanwu is now profitable for Li Ke, that's why he is so active in courting him. When Wei Yanwu has a bigger interest in front of him, will he abandon Li Ke?

Never underestimate the bottom line of a qualified politician, and never entrust your own survival to the pity of others. The only way is to hold all of these firmly in your own hands.

Now, Li Ke is already considering the feasibility of imitating Rhodes Island's model... With the current scale of Rhodes Island, it is enough to feed three to 4000 people.Li Ke doesn't need to increase the scale to the level of Rhodes Island, as long as he can maintain the consumption of a few hundred people, it is enough.

In this case, as long as they can get a land ship that is about one-fifth of the size of Rhodes Island, it will be fine.

It's just that these words are of no use to Gray Throat, she is just an ordinary operator, and Li Ke should be able to get more useful information from her when he sees Kelsey later. content.

After bringing Li Ke to a circular hall, Gray Throat stopped.

At this time, there were still many people wearing Rhodes Island uniforms in the hall, but when Gray Throat appeared here, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became quiet, and even the voices of those people became much quieter.

As if they had encountered some catastrophe, those operators glanced at Gray Throat from the corner of their eyes, and then fled away one after another.

In just 2 minutes, only Huihou and Li Ke were left in the huge hall.

Seeing this scene, as if he was used to it, Gray Throat looked very calm, and said with a normal expression, "Okay, here it is. Mr. Li, please wait here for a while, and I will inform Dr. Kelsey right away .”

"……it is good."

He chose a random place in the hall and sat down, silently watching the back of Huihou's departure. Li Ke couldn't help being curious about what happened to this somewhat indifferent girl in the past.

Judging from the performance of those operators just now, Greythroat's treatment in Rhodes Island is obviously not very good. Since she hates the infected so much and she has not contracted the ore disease, why does she continue to stay here?

Time passed bit by bit, and when Li Ke was thinking about this question a little bit bored, a series of clear footsteps suddenly came from his ears.

Li Ke looked in the direction of the voice, still dressed in the white coat and emerald green dress, Kelsey gradually walked towards Li Ke from the end of the hall.

Gray Throat didn't come back, only Kelsey came. She walked to Li Ke's side and said in a businesslike manner, "Mr. This is not a place to talk, as for the previous agreement, let us discuss it in detail in the reception room."

"Yes." Li Ke didn't object, so he got up and followed Kelsey, continuing to walk towards the depths of Rhodes Island.

The two didn't say anything, and kept silent until they came to a room with a very simple decoration style.

Most of the rooms Li Ke saw along the way were like this. The decorations were based on the gray system, and the style was the same. Li Ke didn't like this color tone very much.

There is not much furniture in the room, only three sofas surround a coffee table in the center, and a large file cabinet is mounted on the wall, which is filled with books and archives for unknown purposes. The only thing that can let Li Ke If you take a second look, there is only a refrigerator in the corner of the room.

After Li Ke sat down on the sofa, Kelsey walked to the refrigerator and took out two glass bottles from inside. The bottles were filled with an unknown orange liquid, which looked a bit like the color of the most pure source stone. resemblance.

"This is a refreshing drink produced by Rhodes Island. Would you like a bottle?" Kelsey drank one of the bottles in one gulp, and asked Li Ke while holding the other bottle.

"...Yes, thank you." Li Ke hesitated, but did not refuse.

Back at the coffee table, Kelsey put the bottle of drink into Li Ke's hands, unscrewed the cap and took a sip, and Li Ke put the remaining half of the bottle back on the coffee table with a delicate expression.

How should I put it... This thing can't be said to be unpalatable, but the taste is very subtle.

After the first sip, the first thing you taste is the strong sweetness brought by sufficient sugar, but under this sweetness, there is a spicy and pungent taste similar to mustard hidden. Dissipated, this smell suddenly burst out.

Li Ke has always been indifferent to such strange things, and he will not take another sip of the remaining half bottle of refreshing drink.

But let's not talk about the taste of this thing. In terms of refreshing function, it is qualified.After taking a sip, Li Ke felt a chill hit his forehead, and his whole brain became sober all of a sudden.

"That kid with Gray Throat didn't cause you any trouble, right? Let me apologize to you on her behalf." After the two of them were seated, Kelsey didn't go directly to the topic, but mentioned the issue of Gray Throat first.

This surprised Li Ke, he raised his eyebrows and said, "It's not troublesome. However, I'm a little curious about her attitude towards infected people... If I remember correctly, most people in Rhodes Island It must be an infected person, Gray Throat hates infected people so much, she still stays here as an operator."

"..." Kelsey fell silent.

After a while, she said, "Not many people in Rhode Island know about this matter, but if it is Mr. Li, it should be no problem to tell you about it."

"Actually, it's not that child's fault. There's a reason why she hates the infected so much." In Kelsey's narration, a corner of the veil was gently lifted from Gray Throat's past.

Greythroat's parents are both excellent medical scholars. Their research direction is ore disease, and they have cooperated with Rhodes Island a lot before this.

The couple extended a helping hand to the infected and provided them with free medical services... However, those infected returned their revenge and killed the doctor who helped them during a riot.

Greythroat's father was killed by his own patient, and her mother couldn't bear the blow. She went crazy shortly after sending Greythroat to Rhodes Island. An originally happy family of three suffered from people's bottomless desires. Maliciousness completely collapsed.

After hearing what happened to Huithroat, Li Ke was also a little silent.

After encountering this kind of thing, Gray Throat did not kill all the infected people in sight, which is already called restraint. Her hatred for the infected people is nothing at all.

Li Ke let out a breath and said slowly, "So, you told me these things, do you want me to do something?"
