A night of carnival at the beginning of the new year.
After the New Year carnival, the 249 scientific research station immediately got into intense work.
There is no seven-day holiday, not even a day off, and the icekeepers never rest on the glacier.
Of course, the current work has nothing to do with Huoyu and mainly relies on the efforts of the workers.
They want to expand a peripheral city wall four to five times more with the current 249 scientific research station as the center.
A base-level scientific research station requires a large area and various infrastructure.
Just like the Great Wall in ancient times, the Great Wall is a complete defensive engineering system composed of various fortifications such as city walls, watchtowers, gates, piers, camps, guards, towns, and beacon towers.
Among them, the passes are important garrison points along the Great Wall, and their locations are mostly chosen at the chokepoints leading in and out of the Great Wall.
In the same way, today's 249 scientific research station is the pass of the 'Polar Great Wall'.
In the future, it will undertake multiple strategic tasks such as defense, stationing troops, supply, and support, and will be the forefront of human defense.
Therefore, the city walls here are stronger than ordinary city walls, and the defense measures must be stricter.
Even when Huo Yu participated in the design, everyone unanimously decided to build the 249 scientific research station on a city-level scale.
Although only the 249th scientific research station has been upgraded to the base level now, as the battle progresses, it is only a matter of time before the cutting-edge 249th scientific research station becomes the city level.
The premise is that humans can hold on here and not fall.
The construction of the outer wall started on the second day of the New Year. During this period, the Chinese army was responsible for protecting the safety of the workers. The 249 scientific research station only needed to provide everyone with food.
Many people say that many workers died when Qin Shihuang was building the Great Wall.
In fact, this is a rumor spread through false rumors.
First of all, Qin Shihuang did not build the Great Wall at all, but repaired the Great Walls in the north that had been built successively during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and connected them together.
Secondly, in addition to building the Great Wall, the Qin Dynasty also did many large-scale projects at that time, and there was simply not so much labor to build the Great Wall.
Therefore, those claims that millions of people died while building the Great Wall are completely slanderous against the First Emperor.
It has to be said that the literati and historians of the past dynasties have made too much exaggeration of the atrocities committed by the First Emperor.
The First Emperor may indeed be a bit cruel, but in terms of his achievements, this cruelty is nothing compared to his contribution.
But no matter what, the working people who built the Great Wall were definitely not having a good time.
Now that humans are building the 'Great Wall' again, Huo Yu naturally cannot let these workers suffer anymore.
The daily meals are basically of the highest standard. The lunch box includes three dishes and one soup, including meat and vegetables.
Those snow rabbits, cattle and sheep were all donated by Huo Yu, turned into energy in the workers' bodies, and then turned into a solid city wall.
Since there is no land in the Arctic, foundations cannot be built, so workers adopt a high-tech construction method, and the work intensity is also higher.
Huo Yu would occasionally go over to help, chatting with the resting workers for a while, and sometimes even open a live broadcast circle to share some points of recognition.
Recently, due to the frequent broadcasts and the fact that everyone in China has nothing to do during the Chinese New Year, Huo Yu’s recognition points finally exceeded 100 million.
But after breaking through 100 million, the rate of recognition point revenue also began to decline.
Live broadcasting too frequently will cause the audience's emotional fluctuations to decrease, and the amount of identification points will also decrease.
Overall, life at the scientific research station has been going well these past few days, and there is no sense of tension about an impending war.
As for the first batch of Snow Controllers, they have just completed the selection.
Huo Yu's standards are extremely high, and he would rather do anything less than abuse. He even strictly checks the immediate family members of these people.
Characteristics such as physical fitness, ideological beliefs, character and will are all within the scope of Huo Yu's inspection.
It is a pity that most of the people at the 249 scientific research station do not meet the standards.
There were others who met the criteria, but Huo Yu did not choose them because the system reminded him that these people had entered the early stages of awakening.
Even if they don't accept the help of the 'Ruins Terminal', they will eventually become favored ones, so there is no need to waste a quota.
In the end, Huo Yu only selected thirty people from more than a thousand Chinese who fully met the standards.
These thirty lucky people are following Li for physical training. Once the 'Ruins Terminal' is prepared, they can immediately use the ability to control snow.
At the same time, Huo Yu chose a time to enter the [Qilian] space again and found several groups of sweat horses.
And the best of these sweat-blooded horses were selected, tamed one by one using the [Beast Taming Technique], and given bloodline factors to them.
There are a total of fifty sweat-blooded horses in this batch of blooded horses. In addition to the thirty quasi-favored ones, Huo Yu also prepared one for each of his companions.
It is hoped that the sweat-blooded horses that take the bloodline factors will not only be heat-resistant, but also can withstand low temperatures, so that the 249 scientific research station will have an elite cavalry team.
Thinking of this, Huo Yu put away the little black ball and played it while the audience sighed.
He strolled to the west side of the scientific research station, where there was a newly built large station building, which was a temporary training ground for those who would be favored.
Thirty would-be favored people were sitting on the ground, with Li standing at the front of them.
A solid snow shield gradually condensed in front of Li. More than thirty people stared at the snow shield, for fear of missing any details.
Although he has not yet awakened, Li can only strengthen everyone's memory through this personal approach.
"The condensation of the snow shield requires concentration. No matter where the opponent's attack goes, don't be anxious. You must believe in yourself and your ability."
Li waved his hand gently, and the snow shield exploded in front of him, and snowflakes fell one after another.
He raised his hand again, and the snowflakes that had not completely fallen began to float again.
The snow element raged wildly, and in less than a second, a brand new snow shield was formed in front of Li.
"After you awaken, you will go through a period of unfamiliarity, and the speed of condensation will be very slow." Li said gently, "But don't be anxious, as long as you train diligently, you will reach this level soon."
Needless to say, Li's strength is great. Even now in his sixties, he can still fight with the leader of the underground people.
But when he's younger, he condenses faster.
After all, for humans, age will still limit his abilities.
These quasi-favorites are all young. Huo Yu specially selected people between the ages of 20 and 24 to ensure that they have sufficient physical strength and potential.
"Huo Yu, are you here?" Li finally noticed Huo Yu behind him and turned around with a smile.
The thirty quasi-favored ones in front of them immediately stood up and shouted in unison:
"Hello, webmaster!"
