Rebirth of the apocalypse: Winning a prize of 30 million at the beginning

#1837 - Resume construction!

Machinery repair shop.

Xue Zhihua said to Lao Zhou worriedly:

"But, Director Zhou, if a redundant rotor design is adopted, the helicopter's load capacity will be reduced, and the number of personnel and weapons that can be carried will also be reduced."

Old Zhou's eyes were firm.

“Safety is the most important thing. This is a sustainable helicopter. The core is to maintain flight status for a long time. Even if there is a problem with a motor or rotor, we still have a spare replacement.”

Just at this moment, He Bing discovered Li Yu walking in.

"City Lord."

Li Yu waved his hand and asked, "I'll come over and take a look."

"What is the current progress of the sustainable helicopter?"

He Bing stepped forward and answered: "It is still in the design stage, and the design is currently stuck on the rotor design."

"How long will it take to implement the transformation?" Li Yu asked.

"Forehead"

He Bing thought about it and gave a timeline: "In about a month, the first experimental version of the perpetual helicopter can be manufactured. After testing and fine-tuning, subsequent modifications will be faster."

One month, this speed is much faster than Li Yu estimated.

Once the sustainable version of the helicopter is manufactured, it will play a huge role in the fight against the northwestern forces.

If nothing else, it can be used to attract zombies over long distances.

It can also be used to fly secretly to the rear of the Northwest base and cut off the retreat of the Northwest forces.

After thinking for a moment, Li Yu nodded and said approvingly: "Not bad."

He looked at the modification drawings they designed curiously and said with a smile:

"Tell me about your design ideas."

"Okay, City Lord, please take a look."

Buffer city.

Several tall chimneys continuously emit burning smoke.

The buffer city gradually formed an industrial park, covering many factories, such as iron ore smelters, oil refineries, steel structure factories, plastic factories, steel mills, non-ferrous metal smelters, boiler factories, chemical plants, cement plants, asphalt mixing plants.

In fact, there are also some factories outside the base. Those are mining factories built around minerals, as well as primary processing plants.

These heavy industrial factories are highly polluting, so the location chosen was downwind, away from residential areas, and the area covered is approximately 7,000 acres.

These factories are relatively small compared to those before the apocalypse, but no matter what, being able to operate these factories in the apocalypse is a manifestation of strength.

Small but complete, this is the current form of the Dazhangshu Base Industrial Park.

Once the base expands in the future, these small factories will usher in a period of explosive growth and expand in scale rapidly.

It is small at present only because the demand is not great. The greater the demand, the more resources and energy will be invested, and it will naturally develop.

Since the end of the White Hair Wind, these factories have resumed production.

The factory is equipped with a heating system, so no matter how cold it is outside, it will not affect the factory.

The freezing disaster has lasted for four months, but the Great Camphor Tree Base has never stopped its progress, gradually developing and advancing, becoming more and more powerful.

The industrial system is becoming more and more sound, and the addition of relevant talents will help the development of the Dazhangshu base.

Oil city.

Uncle San and others held a mobilization meeting in the conference room.

The outdoor temperature has now risen to minus 45 degrees Celsius, and the temperature is still rising every day.

According to the current rate of temperature rise, it is estimated that the temperature will rise above zero degrees in another month or so.

When the snow melts, floods are bound to form.

They have to deal with the impending flood disaster.

"Minister, according to calculations, once the snow outside melts, floods will pour in from the Jigong Col in the south. The terrain of the Oil City is not very high, and the buffer city may be submerged at that time." Xie Changshan said with some concern.

"Moreover, there is still a lot of snow in the buffer city. Even after the snow melts, it cannot be drained out through the drainage system. So, what you said, Minister, is not appropriate to resume construction in the buffer city now."

The construction of greenhouses in the buffer city has been delayed for several months.

There are more than 200,000 people in the Oil City and the trading market, and it is not easy to feed all of them.

Although the food in the Oil City granary can only sustain for a few months, this food accounts for more than 70% of the food produced by the headquarters base and the North Territory in a year.

Even if there are supplies from the North and the headquarters base in the future, it is still impossible to feed such a large population.

Although the oil city has dozens of acres of experimental fields and dozens of acres of underground plantations, the amount of grain produced is not enough.

The Oil City must have the ability to produce food, otherwise it will all rely on transportation from the North and the headquarters base, which consumes a lot of transportation resources and has a long cycle. Once a transportation accident occurs, the impact will be huge.

Therefore, the buffer city of Oil City was originally established to solve the food problem.

The buffer city walls have now been completed, but the construction of greenhouses within the buffer city has been repeatedly suspended due to natural disasters.

Uncle San did not interrupt Xie Changshan. What Xie Changshan said must be right.

But he didn't consider it comprehensively enough and didn't think about the overall situation.

After Xie Changshan finished speaking, Uncle San asked:

"You just need to answer a few questions for me."

“First, how high are the flood heights predicted to be?”

Xie Changshan hesitated and said, "The south and west of Oil City are all mountains. When the temperature rises above zero, there may be a flood, which may reach up to ten meters. However, as the flood flows to the northeast, the water level will soon drop."

"good."

"The second question is, can construction be resumed in the current temperature?"

"Forehead"

Xie Changshan said with some embarrassment: "It's possible, but I suggest you wait until the temperature rises back to normal."

Before Xie Changshan could finish his words, his uncle interrupted:

"Then let's start clearing the snow in the buffer city. After the snow is cleared, the temperature will probably rise a lot. At the same time, we will start the two projects of raising the buffer city wall and building a greenhouse in the buffer city!"

Seeing that Xie Changshan still wanted to say something, Uncle San simply made his words more clearly.

"A large number of survivors in the trading market are borrowing points. How can they pay back the points they borrowed? Now they can't go out, and there are not many useful supplies outside. The only way to repay the points is to make them work!"

"Secondly, with so many people in the trading market, a huge amount of food is consumed every day. If we can't produce our own food, relying solely on the headquarters base and the northern border for food supply is not a long-term solution, and we can't support so many people! What's more, the mountains are high and the roads are long, which makes transportation extremely inconvenient."

“Simply put, the buffer city must be built. This is something that must be done and it is the only way.”

Uncle San spoke in a powerful voice, and everyone in the meeting room fell silent.

Xie Changshan couldn't utter a word and just stood there motionless.

After a long while, Xie Changshan finally spoke:

"Okay, I understand, Minister."

Uncle San looked at Ju Tianrui on his right and said, "Ju Tianrui, the snow clearing in the buffer city is now in your hands. You will be in charge of coordinating the trade fair fleet and digging out the snow on top of the buffer city walls."

"Xie Changshan."

Uncle San looked at Xie Changshan and said, "After the snow on the buffer city wall is dug out, you will gradually start to build the buffer city wall. After the snow on the planned greenhouse area is cleared, you will start to lead people to build the greenhouse!"

"Yes." Xie Changshan and Ju Tianrui said in unison.

There are so many people in the trading market. I was afraid they would starve to death so I lent them points.

The points have been lent out, so they must be taken back!

Let them eat and drink for free? There is no such good thing in this world!

But they were penniless and had no material resources to repay, so they could only repay through physical labor.

The most abundant thing in the Oil City base now is not ammunition or food, but manpower.

More than 200,000 people is a huge fortune in this doomsday.

By doing this, Uncle San can, on the one hand, convert the lent points into construction returns, and on the other hand, he can produce more food by building greenhouses and solve the problem of flooding by increasing the height of the walls.

"Others should cooperate with them to complete the relevant work. This matter should be the main focus at this stage!"

"Yes, Minister." Lao Huang and others quickly stood up and responded.

Uncle San looked at them, stood up and left the meeting room.

After Uncle San left, Old Huang sighed and had to get busy again.

The buffer city is large in area, and clearing the snow requires a lot of manpower, which can only be found in the trading market.

I just heard from the minister that those who borrowed points should be sent out first to repay the points through labor.

If you recruit other people without borrowers to work, you have to give them points and food.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

But people who use these loans don’t have to pay extra points for the work, so they kill two birds with one stone.

Sure enough, Ju Tianrui found Lao Huang as soon as the minister left.

"Old Huang, you have to arrange for someone to clear the snow for me."

Old Huang turned his head and smiled, "Don't worry, Director Ju, I promise to arrange everything for you."

Chang Yichang and others have been at the trading market for four days.

During these days they ate and slept in the residential area, and their bodies gradually recovered.

Although he has not recovered to his peak condition, it is much better than his previous dying state.

It was a bit cold outside, so they didn't run around.

I was in the No. 1 watchtower before, it was too cold and I couldn’t sleep well.

In the Exchange Bazaar residential area, the heating is sufficient to make people drowsy.

Squeak.

Shunfeng ran in from outside and woke up Chang Yichang who was still sleeping.

"Brother, I just saw a piece of news on the bulletin board outside. It said that they are going to start snow clearing in Buffer City. They will give priority to recruiting lenders. All the lenders' daily work points will be used to repay the loan and interest, but they will be provided with two meals and two tortillas!"

Chang Yichang heard this and struggled to get up.

"Is there such a good thing?"

"But, won't it be dangerous?"

He remembered that when he came to the trading market four days ago, he encountered many zombies in the buffer city. If the people from the trading market had not come to support and rescue them, they would probably have died at the hands of the zombies.

Now I have to run out to clear the snow, and I will definitely encounter zombies.

“Brother!”

Biaozi said excitedly: "They are so strong. When we go out to clear the snow, we will definitely have a guard team to protect us like last time. I don't think we need to worry!"

"Oh, Biaozi has become smarter." Shunfeng looked at Biaozi with some surprise.

Biaozi glared at Shunfeng with his nose and said, "Haha."

Chang Yichang repeated, "You just said that although they won't give us extra points, they will provide us with meals, and they can also repay the points we borrowed before, right?"

"Yes." Shunfeng nodded.

"Not bad." Chang Yichang murmured.

For people like them who live at the bottom of the trading market, let alone how many points they are given, even if they are not given any points, as long as they can be provided with two meals, it is enough to make it worthwhile to go.

I'm so hungry, I'll do anything.

Chang Yichang got off the bed, put on his shoes and clothes, "Biaozi, hurry up and get dressed. We will go to the mission hall with Shunfeng to sign up later."

Although they seldom go out, they go to buy tortillas every day. When waiting in line, they always communicate with the people next to them. Naturally, they also know that the recruiters are usually in the North District Mission Hall.

They ran to the North District excitedly.

When they arrived, they found that the North District Mission Hall was already full of people.

"Oh my god, there are so many people!!" Biaozi looked at the crowded mission hall in shock.

These people are like a cat that smells a little fishy, their noses are so sharp.

"Just line up honestly." Chang Yichang looked at the line and said to Shunfeng and the others behind him.

Window No. 4 in the mission hall.

The staff inside took the points card from a man with a wretched face outside.

After two seconds, the staff returned the number card to him.

"If you don't comply with the recruitment requirements, next one."

The man held the points card, looking confused, "No, why? Why don't I meet the recruitment requirements?"

"You have too many points!"

The staff member said impatiently, "There is a roll-up banner with recruitment requirements next to it. Please read the recruitment requirements carefully. People with more than 50 points on their personal number cards cannot participate in this mission."

"You already have more than 200 points in your points card, why are you joining?"

The man angrily said: "You are discriminating!"

"Give me the number card." The staff said seriously.

The man is like a dog-faced man, he will send it over with a smile. It turns out that the attitude should not be too nice, making a fuss and yelling will be effective.

But when he got halfway, he felt something was wrong.

The expressions of the staff inside were too cold.

"What do you want my points number card for?"

"Wang Qiyuan, don't you want to participate in this recruitment? I will donate the points on your scorecard to the C District Slums for you, leaving you with 50 points. Isn't that enough to meet the requirements?"

Lao Wang quickly took back the points number card and looked at the staff inside with a vigilant look.

"You are bending the law for personal gain and avenging your personal grudges!"

"I have a grudge against you! Get out of here! Don't interfere with official business!"

"Your attitude is too bad. I want to complain and report you!"

"You go, Wang Qiyuan."

When Lao Wang heard the young man inside say his name, he felt a chill in his heart.

It is not a good thing to offend a civil servant. In the future, if you want to perform any task, you have to find this person.

I'm in trouble.

How could I do such a stupid thing in my head?

Shocked and frightened, he licked his face and went to the window to apologize.

"Brother, I was wrong. I won't dare to do it again."

The staff inside sighed, "Hurry up and leave. Don't delay my work. Next one."
