Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

"Hello, don't you need to stay overnight?" The staff of the hot spring resort looked at Wang Xin and asked.

"Need not."

The staff member calculated and then operated the points cash register to deduct one point from Wang Xin’s points card.

"This is your points card, and this is the printed receipt." The staff handed the number tag and receipt to Wang Xin.

For four people, each person consumes 0.25 points.

It’s quite cheap.

After all, they stayed in the hot spring bath for nearly an hour, taking a bath. The facilities inside were very complete. Shampoo and shower gel were available for free use, and there were also hair dryers, razors, etc.

There are also steam rooms and rest rooms.

It only costs 0.25 points to take a bath, which is very cost-effective.

If this were placed in a trading market, it might be half a day's salary for an ordinary worker.

But for Wang Xin, a third-level staff member, he can contribute 2 points a day.

But it only consumed one tenth of a day's salary.

Even if there were four people, only half a day's points were used.

The four of them walked out of the hot spring hotel, took a bath, and felt much more relaxed.

Their clothes were hung on the heater while they were taking a shower, and are now dry.

The hot water in the bathhouse is transferred from the boiler factory.

There is plenty of heat at the boiler factory, and it's burning and generating heat 24 hours a day.

"Where are we going next?" Hu Biao asked beside Wang Xin.

Wang Xin thought for a moment and said, "Let's go downstairs and have some noodles. I haven't had noodles in a long time."

They can actually buy tortillas here, but for them, the third-level members, they can eat something else every now and then, since they can afford it anyway.

Big camphor tree base.

outer city.

In the conference room.

Li Yu, second uncle, eldest uncle, Kong Shuang, Bai Jie, Li Tie, Li Gang, Song Min, He Chao and others were all there.

After the construction of the project stopped, Ding Jiu was responsible for maintaining the buildings in the base, including the greenhouse.

Even though the greenhouse has been upgraded many times, it is not a concrete building after all, and there is still some impact under heavy snow.

Li Hang said to everyone:

"The current daily snowfall has reached 35 mm, which is considered a heavy snowstorm."

"We can solve the snow problem in various places in the buffer city by shoveling snow. In addition, we can transport the snow to the boiler factory for heating and turn it into water for our daily life, industry and agriculture. Basically, there is no problem."

"but."

"The thickness of the snow outside the buffer city is increasing. According to calculations, if we continue to ignore the snow outside, it is expected that in one and a half months, the snow outside the buffer city will be as high as our wall."

"So, the city lord called everyone together to find a way to solve this problem."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Li Yu, and only sat down after seeing Li Yu nod.

Li Yu looked at everyone and said:

"That's the situation. Let's talk about it."

The second uncle said:

"How about we just follow the method we used to deal with the extreme cold disaster before?"

"By spraying hot water to dissolve the snow, there is also the method of spreading salt."

"What do you think?"

Kong Shuang frowned and said:
"The hot water dissolution method and the salt melting method are both too expensive and not so effective quickly. I think we can use snow melting agents to remove snow."

"Tell me." Li Yu looked at Kong Shuang.

Kong Shuang then continued: "The snow-melting agent snow removal method actually uses chemical substances such as sodium chloride and calcium chloride to lower the freezing point of water, allowing the snow to melt naturally at low temperatures."

“It is easy to operate and has low cost.”

"What are the shortcomings?" Li Yu asked back.

Before Kong Shuang could answer, Bai Jie spoke up:

“The disadvantage is that it is easy to pollute the environment and cause certain impacts on subsequent land.”

"That won't work!" Li Yu flatly refused. "We can't use this method to buffer the land outside the city. Our future expansion base will also need to be included. Once the land is polluted, how can we grow crops? This method won't work."

Kong Shuang thought for a while and said:

"Then there are only two ways to do it. Buffer the snow outside the city. Unless we go out, we can only use salt and hot water."

"If we spread salt, I'm afraid it will take dozens of tons. In addition, the consumption of hot water will probably be quite a lot."

Li Yuan said softly:

"As for salt, don't worry. The base currently has 2,000 tons of salt in reserve. It won't be a problem to take out a few hundred tons for use."

Da Zhangshu has found a salt mine. If the warehouse was full, more salt could be stored in the base.

In addition, each transport team has to transport a lot of salt to the North and Oil City.

"Okay, then, what about hot water?" Kong Shuang asked with some concern.

As the head of the buffer city, He Chao knew a little about this, so he answered:

"As for hot water, it is enough to draw some water temporarily, but it cannot last too long. It is expected to be fine for about half a day."

"That's enough." Kong Shuang nodded.

After hearing their discussion, Li Yu made the final decision.

"Okay, then we'll follow these two methods. Try to reduce the snow outside the buffer city to below the six-meter warning line."

Everyone lowered their heads to take notes.

"Next thing."

Li Hang stood up and said to everyone:

"About the city."

Oil City.

Uncle San rubbed his eyebrows and walked out of the meeting room.

Headache.

The snow outside the buffer city was piling up too quickly.

In just six days, the snow reached a height of three meters.

If this continues, in a dozen days or so, the snow outside the buffer city will reach the height of the wall.

The Oil City is different from the headquarters base. Although there is also a boiler factory, there are more people here.

There are only more than 10,000 people in the headquarters base, and more than 200,000 people in the oil city.

The heating pressure is enormous.

It is such a luxury to draw some hot water and spray it outside to melt the snow.

Sprinkling salt is even more of a luxury.

With so many people at the trading market, everyone must consume salt. The salt consumption here in Oil City is very high.

But the stored salt is less than a quarter of that at the headquarters base.

There were less than 600 tons of salt.

Under normal circumstances, this is already a lot, enough to feed more than 200,000 people for a year and a half.

But, these are all for eating. If they all spill, what is the point of eating?

When there are too many people, various problems will arise.

The energy seems to be a lot, but it is not enough when you actually need it.

Sad.

We just had a meeting and some industry experts we recruited proposed some solutions.

But Uncle San felt that none of them were appropriate.

As the days passed, the snow outside the buffer city continued to pile up and grow, causing great trouble.

What’s more important is that the buffer city’s wall is only 8.5 meters high, far less than the meters high buffer city of the Dazhangshu headquarters base.

The difference is nearly four times.

Alexander!

After thinking it over, Uncle San felt that he had to seek help from the headquarters tomorrow and ask them to think of a solution together.
