blood plague

Chapter 214

After Iger returned to the church in silence, he called people together, collected several plastic buckets and other water storage tools, and then asked them to go to the river to fetch water, and ordered them to wash all the tableware again after fetching the water.

Joanna was a little confused about this, but out of familiarity with Iger's character, she immediately understood that there might be a big problem with the water, and it was the smartest way to pretend not to know at this time.

After solving the problem of eating, Iger excused that there was a communication barrier with Lal, and just handed over the work of tidying up the cathedral to Joanna, and slipped out by himself.

Iger is not just wandering, he needs to get familiar with Rose Town, so that he can have a better idea of ​​what to do next.

Regarding the defense of Rose Town, Iger felt that the situation in Rapid Creek Town could not be copied.

The business district of Jixi Town is blessed with a unique geographical advantage. Most towns do not have the advantages of being as regular as it is. After all, the architectural feature of America is to spread the pie.

Ross Town is a typical big pie. Not only are the houses built large and flat, each house also has a front lawn and a back garden. The gaps between the houses can be called driveways.

With such a large area, if you want to build a wall to seal it off, the amount of work is equivalent to building a city, which is simply unrealistic.

After circling the church area, Iger decided to adopt castle defense tactics.

To put it simply, it is similar to the medieval castles in Europe, enclosing the church area in the center of Tic Tac Toe in Ross Town, and using the church to build a core fortress.

The advantage of this is to adapt measures to local conditions, but the disadvantage is that if a large number of peripheral areas are not cleared, there will be too many bunkers, which is not conducive to the defense of the fortress, especially for invading humans.

Therefore, referring to the castle defense rules in the Middle Ages, while defending to the death, it is necessary to establish a powerful mobile unit, unit + turret, to form a complete defense system.

What is more beneficial to my side now is that the average combat ability of the entire Gospel Reclamation Corps is very strong. Not to mention that they are all veterans who have survived many battles, at least they have seen blood. At critical times, it is not unreasonable for all members to be soldiers. possible.

After this idea is established, Iger will consider the materials for constructing the defensive wall.

The best material for building a defensive wall is cars + steel plates, but Iger found that building a wall with cars is a bit unrealistic after walking around the church area.

Although the area of ​​this land is not large, the overall perimeter is not short. If there are no other walls to use, it may take hundreds of cars just to rely on cars.

Where can I find so many cars here?

If we don't need cars, is it really necessary to build walls with earth?
Of course, there is another simple way, which is to demolish the house and use the old wooden boards to build the fence.

However, in Iger's mind unconsciously, there was a picture of the overwhelming influx of infected people overthrowing the wall of the Evans Brotherhood. This makeshift method was directly rejected by himself.

If the wall is not strong, it is better not to build it.At least there are no walls, at least it doesn't give people a false sense of security.

Later, Iger thought of two more troublesome, but at least operational, solutions.

One is to dismantle the barbed wire fence elsewhere and install it on your own side.

The barbed wire fence is easy to disassemble and install, has a high safety factor, good anti-climbing ability, and more importantly, it is relatively easy to find.

For example, there is a large piece of barbed wire fence at the storage point of the chemical fertilizer in Aigla, and there is also a long section at the water supply plant. You only need to dismantle them to solve half of the problem of the fence here.

However, the biggest problem with the barbed wire fence is its limited impact resistance. The infected people rushed in desperately, and the barbed wire fence would be broken sooner or later.

The second is to drive a truck to find Vance.Vance's old profession was a lumberjack, and he went to Vance's logging area to pull timber or newly felled timber, and used the method of piling the whole timber to build the fence.

First set two layers of round wooden piles, and then fill the middle with soil and tamp it down. The amount of work is much smaller than that of building an earth wall, and the sturdiness and durability are very high.

Not to mention the shortcomings, the amount of work is very large.

Iger only thought of these two methods for the time being, and he also knew that the transformation of the fortress could not be completed overnight.It took nearly three months for Jixi Town to complete the overall transformation. Once the transformation is to be started on my side, it will be considered fast if it can be completed within three months.

After two laps outside, Iger turned back to the church.The interior of the church is almost finished, the functional divisions are basically completed, and the team's materials have also been put into the warehouse on the first floor.

Among the team supplies brought here this time, there is only enough food for about ten days.On the one hand, the stock in Jixi Town is also limited, and it is impossible to let Aiguera take half of the stored food directly. On the other hand, Iger does not dare to pull too much at one time.

Less and less, anyway, Iger has to go to Jixi Town to report to work every week, and then bring back the rations for the next week.In doing so, the control over the reclamation group can be strengthened.

In the afternoon, Bill and his party, who had gone to Rapid Creek Town, had already turned back.

After the scrapped vehicles on the road between Jixi Town and Ross Town were cleaned up, the speed of the car increased a lot. Considering fuel and safety, the one-way control was very stable at about one hour.

Bill brought back many empty gas tanks, which were all unloaded at the gas station for storage.

There are still many liquefied natural gas tanks in the gas station, but the tanks full of liquefied gas have been taken away by other survivors, and the rest are empty tanks.

These pots will be sold for big money in the future.

After dinner, Iger left all the staff for a meeting. At the meeting, he briefly talked about the proposals for the development of Ross Town, and then began to ask everyone if they had any good ideas.

Iger set up the hand-drawn map and told everyone about the development plan of Ross Town. Then Iger talked about the two methods of building the wall that he thought about, and asked everyone if there was a good way.

As soon as Iger finished speaking, the outspoken Kate immediately said: "Using a barbed wire fence is feasible. I will go to the auto repair shop tomorrow to see what tools are available. I can transform the auto repair shop into a workshop. I have made barbed wire for people. The fence, as long as the horizontal steel is added, the car can be stopped."

Iger was overjoyed when he heard that, by the way, Kate has expertise in this area, which is her old profession.

Just when Iger was about to make a decision on the construction of the barbed wire fence, he only heard a voice saying.

"Leak, leak, leak, leak, if something happens, Hande, society, society."

Iger turned his head and saw that it was Lal, who had a communication barrier with him, who was speaking.

Iger raised his hand to suppress other people's speeches, and said to Lal, "What's your opinion?"

When Iger asked this question, Lal talked non-stop, and he gestured with his hands while talking.Lal spoke very fast, with a peculiar accent, and Iger was completely confused.

After Lal had a big talk, Iger asked Sandra who was taking the minutes of the meeting: "Excuse me, can you translate for me, what is he talking about?"

Sandora froze for a moment, she didn't expect Iger to make such a request.

Well, in fact, many people can't understand what Lal is doing, and even Joanna can only understand it.If you want to say that you are well-informed, you have to look at Sandra, after all, there are quite a lot of Indian students in her school.

Sandora translated to Iger: "Lal said that he has a quick way to build a wall. He can build a 4-meter-high earth wall in at most two weeks."

When Iger heard it, he immediately became interested, and he asked Sandra: "And then?"

"Then?" Sandora said, "The rest are particle particles and nonsense."

"..."

Lal wasn't angry when Sandora said this about herself. Seeing that Iger was interested in his suggestion, he didn't need Iger's orders, and directly grabbed the right to host the meeting, and then started to say, blah blah, blah, blah, da Da da da da.

After Lal finished speaking, Sandora nodded, and she translated to Iger: "Lal said that building a wall is very simple. First nail a row of stakes and planks, and then dig the soil vertically on the outside. The dug out The soil is overturned on the other side of the board, and it is naturally piled up into a mountain.

In this way, the construction effect can be doubled, and the vertical height can be increased by 1 meters by digging 2 meter.So it only needs to dig 2 meters to get a 4-meter-high earth wall and a 2-meter-deep trench. "

This method sounds unreliable.

Iger asked Lal: "Getting soil is not an easy physical job. How is he going to dig the soil?"

Lal gua la gua la, Sandora translated: "Lal said it was very simple, first go to a nearby farm to find a cultivator. Use the cultivator to loosen the soil, and then manually turn over the floating soil. The floating soil is turned over, and then Use a cultivator to make a layer, and then turn it over. Lal said that the underground here is all mud, and there will be no obstacles such as rock layers."

Iger still shook his head, and he said to Lal: "The most critical core problem is that you can't tamp the loose soil and throw it to the other side. If you don't tamp it, you can't build an earth wall."

Hearing Iger's words, Lal showed a triumphant smile. After he talked for a while, even Sandra was stunned.

"What did he say?" Iger asked.

Sandora said to Iger: "He said that this problem is very easy to solve. After loosening the soil, sprinkle a lot of potassium fertilizer. The piled up soil hill will be self-tightening under the action of rain and gravity, and will eventually harden. Harden so it will take shape naturally."

Hearing this, even Iger was taken aback.

Iger reviewed all of Lal's ideas in his mind, and then he found that it was really feasible.

Damn, it's really a godsend! !
In this way, a 4-meter-high trapezoidal earth wall can be obtained at the fastest speed, and the earth wall will become more and more compact as time goes by. Simple defense is not a problem at all.

Having figured it out, Iger gave Lal a thumbs up.

Asanguo, awesome!
