Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Chapter 1755: Building a Closed Loop Ecosystem
Cuckoo took the registration book and walked around the greenhouse.

Register all performers, have them sign, and remind them of relevant precautions.

Because the notice for this New Year's Eve party was given too hastily, it was a complete mess.

This made Zuo Ruxue and Bugu feel a little unsure.

As time goes by, the on-site layout in Greenhouse No. 52 becomes more and more perfect.

They even got a lot of colorful lights and decorated the entire venue.

The star-shaped lights twinkling in the greenhouse, coupled with flowers and green plants, and the red carpet in the center, fill the entire venue with a festive atmosphere.

In the rehearsal room next door, those who are going to perform on stage are also rehearsing intensively to ensure that the performance goes smoothly.

Outside the greenhouse.

There is also a row of roll-up banners hanging outside with a few big words written on them: Happy New Year.

Big camphor tree base, outer city.

arsenal.

Currently, this arsenal has five bullet production lines and can produce a large number of bullets every day.

The big camphor tree forces also consumed bullets.

For example, every time the transport team goes out, it has to consume a certain amount of bullets.

There are also guards stationed in the watchtowers that protect the various mines.

You can often encounter zombies.

In addition, there is target shooting practice in the training ground, which also consumes bullets.

However, the current rate at which bullets are consumed cannot keep up with the rate at which they are produced.

So, currently out of the five production lines, they are only maintaining production on two of them.

Once there is demand, they can immediately double the production of bullets.

The raw materials for producing bullets are now fully mastered. The copper, steel and lead needed for bullet shells can all be found in mines and refined.

As for gunpowder, with the current strength of the Dazhangshu base, they have also found the raw materials to produce it.

In addition to these five bullet production lines, they also have two small-caliber artillery shell production lines.

There is also a hot weapons maintenance department that specializes in repairing weapons such as firearms and artillery.

"Director Zhou, how is the production of fireworks and firecrackers going?" He Chao walked into the arsenal and asked Zhou Ran, the person in charge of the arsenal.

Zhou Ran used to work in a state-owned machine tool factory and had once followed Lao Qin.

He is currently working in the Dazhangshu base, in charge of all affairs in the arsenal.

Hearing He Chao's voice coming from behind him, Zhou Ran turned around and looked at He Chao.

"Manager He, firecrackers and fireworks are simple. We have already made them and are preparing to go to the fourth outer city for experiments. Do you want to come and take a look?"

"Okay, Director Zhou is really efficient." He Chao gave a thumbs up and praised.

Zhou Ran shook his head helplessly.

It's really a luxury for the people in their arsenal to use it to make fireworks and firecrackers.

These gunpowders are the raw materials for making bullets and killing zombies.

However, the productivity in the base is now saturated, so it is harmless to use a very small amount of flame to make fireworks.

This time, he received an order from his superiors to make a small number of fireworks for use in the New Year's Eve party.

After debugging, it was produced quickly.

However, these fireworks are quite powerful.

"Old Song, bring these fireworks and follow me." Zhou Ran said to Song Yiming.

Song Yiming was a weapons manufacturing expert in the North. Asking him to make fireworks and firecrackers was like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

Soon, they arrived at the fourth outer city.

Pushed open the door of the training ground.

Most areas of the training ground are open-air, and with the temperature now at minus fifty degrees Celsius, there is basically no training activity.

Moreover, the training ground is large, with few people around, and it is a closed space, which is very suitable for experimenting with the effects of fireworks and firecrackers.

They came to the shooting range, and there was open space within a hundred meters around it.

Biting cold.

Song Yiming asked the workers to place two firecrackers in the middle.

The firecrackers they made were much larger than the ordinary firecrackers before the apocalypse, at least three or four times larger.

Each one looks like a bullet size.

They spread out the firecrackers, arranged them in a row and placed them on the snow.

It was about six or seven meters long, and the workers raised their hands to indicate that they were ready to light the fire at any time.

Zhou Ran looked at He Chao, "Manager He, shall we start now?"

"Let's start. I haven't heard of firecrackers in many years." He Chao said with some emotion.

He remembered when he first came to the Dazhangshu base, there were rules at the base that did not allow people to make too much noise. Even at that time, everyone tacitly did not applaud, for fear that the loud noise would attract zombies.

It can grow and develop along with the large camphor tree base.

The base has been surrounded by zombies countless times.

Even situations where zombies piled up had occurred many times.

Attract zombies?

So what!

What's more, all the zombies within a dozen kilometers around the big camphor tree base have been cleared out by them one after another.

It's the coldest time of the year now, and we haven't seen any zombies for several days.

They had long since returned to normal, speaking and broadcasting normally, and were not afraid of attracting zombies. After all, even if they did, the zombies would not be able to do anything to their camphor tree base.

Not to mention anything else, the outermost buffer wall alone is nearly forty meters high.

Mobile gates, ultraviolet lamps and cameras are installed on the wall to monitor the movements on the wall at all times.

In addition, there are patrol personnel on duty in rotation, providing multiple layers of security.

Outside the buffer city of the large camphor tree base, all the trees within two kilometers have been cut down to ensure that the guards on the wall can see far enough.

Training Course.

Zhou Ran nodded at the worker and shouted, "Click!"

The worker took out a lighter and clicked!

Slide out of the flames.

sizzle-

The fuse, which was nearly 20 centimeters long, was smoking.

The worker ran and came to Zhou Ran and the others.

Zhou Ran and his friends were about 10 meters away from the place where the firecrackers were going off.

When the worker just ran to Zhou Ran, the firecrackers behind him exploded instantly.

Clap clap clap!

The snow on the ground was blown away and splashed onto Zhou Ran and the others' heads.

The explosion lasted for about half a minute.

The air was filled with gunpowder smoke, a cloud of white smoke.

After the white smoke was blown away by the wind, small pits about four or five centimeters deep were blown out of the snow on the ground.

"Forehead"

He Chao swept the snow off his head and looked at Zhou Ran with some fear.

"Director Zhou, this firecracker is too powerful."

The surface of this firecracker is wrapped with paper, so the damage caused by the explosion is not that strong.

If paper is replaced with iron or plastic, the lethality will increase dramatically.

Zhou Ran coughed to hide his embarrassment.

"Well, I'll reduce the gunpowder in it by half. The power is a bit too strong."

He Chao frowned, "No, it's not enough, it must be reduced by at least three quarters. With such a powerful force, it will hurt people if it is closer."

"Okay, I'll change it later." Zhou Ran looked at the worker and asked him to put the fireworks in place.

Two workers carried over a box of fireworks.

These fireworks are all made from gunpowder from the bullet production line, so they are quite powerful.

"Manager He, ahem, the power of that firework is probably stronger than that of a bullet. Why don't we step back a few steps?" Zhou Ran said to He Chao.

He Chao wanted to curse in his heart.

Oh shit!

Are they making fireworks or bombs? The fuse of the fireworks is even longer, reaching one meter in length.

This also gave the person who started the fire enough time to escape.

The worker repeated the previous operation, checked the fireworks and lit them.

Pull your legs and run.

This time he ran faster.

joke.

This level of danger is much greater than firecrackers. Fireworks are centralized, and if the gunpowder inside is connected in series, the explosion will be extremely powerful.

After all, firecrackers are single and arranged in a row.

He ran behind their parked car, about 30 meters away from the fireworks.

Boom!

Whoosh whoosh!
Several fireworks streaked across the sky and exploded.

Snapped!
clap clap clap!
The sky was blooming with brilliant light.

Immediately afterwards, several more fireworks flew into the sky, bang bang bang!
gorgeous!

Looking at the fireworks flying hundreds of meters high, He Chao was a little amazed. They were worthy of being fireworks made by the arsenal.

It’s just awesome.

The fireworks he had seen before the end of the world were only a dozen meters high, and at most several dozen meters high.

But the fireworks that Zhou Ran and his team made were at least a hundred meters high.

Clap clap clap!

The fireworks are still going off.

at this moment.

In the camphor tree base, people in the inner and outer cities, as well as in the buffer city, heard the sound and ran out to watch.

Because it was daytime, people who were farther away couldn't see it clearly.

But those who were closer to the fourth outer city could see it very clearly.

They looked at the gorgeous fireworks with surprise in their eyes.

It's the end of the world, and there are still things like fireworks.

The big camphor tree base is really luxurious.

One minute later.

Training Course.

He Chao looked at the fragments of the exploded fireworks paper box and a large pit several meters in radius, and fell into deep thought.

"Well, can you lower the power a bit? Can you keep the height of the fireworks but lower the power?"

Zhou Ran looked at the hole created by the explosion and said quickly, "No problem, for sure. This is a test."

"Okay, then let's reduce the power. This explosion is too powerful. It's not good."

He Chao reminded:
"The city lord will come to watch by then. Your power is too great and the hidden danger is too high. If the city lord is injured."

He Chao didn't finish his words, but Zhou Ran understood the key point.

He nodded like a chick pecking at rice, "Don't worry, Manager He, I will go back and adjust it right away."

Everyone loaded the remaining paper box fragments from the fireworks into the car and drove away from the training ground.

The inner city of Dazhangshu Base.

The two tall mountains surround a reservoir.

There are several caves halfway up the mountain.

These caves were dug and built step by step over the years.

Most of them were built to withstand natural disasters.

At present, some of these caves are used to store valuable materials, while others are used as indoor plantations, or indoor farms and fisheries.

Li Yu stood at the entrance of the cave and looked towards the direction of the fourth outer city.

He had just heard the explosion and hurried out of the cave.

The view of the Fourth Outer City from here was not very clear, but with his good eyesight, he could see clearly that it was fireworks.

"These fireworks are so powerful!" Li Yu exclaimed.

Turned and entered the cave.

Lai Dongsheng, his father and Zhou Weiguo were all in the cave.

The cave is full of cement pools with oxygen tubes inserted into the water and bubbles appearing on the surface.

This cave covers an area of ​​about 2 acres, which is considered a large area among caves.

They raise most of their fish, shrimps and crabs here.

In the rivers and lakes of the apocalypse, many aquatic creatures were eaten by zombies.

Due to so many natural disasters, many fish and shrimps in the south were frozen to death or died from lack of water and drought.

The fish, shrimps and crabs raised in the Dazhangshu base are still alive and well.

Because every time a natural disaster is about to strike, they will collect all the fish, shrimps and crabs from the mountain ponds and reservoirs and put them in the indoor fisheries at the foot of the mountain and in the cave.

Not just fish, shrimp and crabs.

The same is true for farms.

Over the years, any wild animals they captured outside would be kept in solitary confinement after being confirmed to be free of the zombie virus.

Such as elk, wolves, golden monkeys, pangolins, South China tigers, hedgehogs, foxes, pandas and so on.

Among them, the panda was encountered on the way back from the Western Conference, and I simply caught it.

They originally planned to kill it and eat the meat, but then they thought that giant pandas were too scarce and they were not short of food at the time.

There wouldn't be much meat to eat if they were killed, so they kept the red pandas.

Anyway, there are plenty of bamboos in the base, enough to feed them.

Cases like this have happened many times.

But most of the wild animals caught have one characteristic, that is, they are cute and look adorable.

Time passed, and today, seven years later, the number of animals in the camphor tree base has exceeded 150 species. They have done their best.

There aren't many of these wild animals, so it's not difficult to keep them alive.

As for cattle, sheep and pigs, they are the most numerous and are raised solely for their meat.

Today, as a super-large force, the camphor tree has developed and must consider its future from the perspective of humanity.

They continue to do this for the sake of biodiversity and considering that the living environment outside is too difficult.

In the cave, Li Yu's father, Li Hongyuan, was fishing with a fishing rod. When he saw Li Yu coming back, he asked with some concern:

"Xiao Yu, there was a loud explosion outside just now, what happened?"

Li Yu closed the cave door and said with a smile:

"It's probably an experiment with fireworks. My second uncle said that since we are celebrating the New Year, fireworks are indispensable. Without them, the New Year will not feel like the New Year."

"I thought since we don't lack this little gunpowder, we could make some firecrackers to celebrate."

Li Hongyuan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the sound of fireworks.

He thought there was a pipeline explosion in the industrial area.

After all, in this kind of weather, no enemies should come here, and there are currently no enemies at the Dazhangshu base. Only the Northwest base is a threat.

"Fireworks and firecrackers."

"I haven't seen this in years. Before the apocalypse, they didn't allow it. Now in the apocalypse, it's really strange to see it."

Li Hongyuan looked at Lai Dongsheng and said with a smile:

"At that time, the control was very strict, even smoking meat was controlled. Lao Lai, do you still remember that you smoked bacon in your yard and were fined 200 or something?"

Lai Dongsheng smiled bitterly, shook his head and said:

"Yes, I was fined 200 yuan and had to write a letter of guarantee."

"I was so miserable at that time. It was so hard for me to earn 200 yuan. And I was fined for smoking bacon."

Li Hongyuan pointed at Lai Dongsheng and laughed: "Hahaha, then..."

Li Yu looked at the floating fish and said, "Dad, the fish is on the hook!"

"Hey!"

Father Li turned his head and saw the float sinking. "It's true."

He slowly pulled the rope and lifted it up.

A golden carp floated to the surface.
