Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Chapter 1783: Inventory of Losses, Exoskeleton Armor
One day later.

Big camphor tree base.

The residential areas in the inner, outer and buffer cities were cleared first, and people buried in the snow were rescued.

With the continuous operation of snowplows and snowblowers, the main roads at the Dazhangshu base were also cleared.

The snow is really too thick. If we leave it alone and just wait for the sun to shine and the temperature to rise for the snow to melt, it will take too long and will greatly affect the normal operation of the base.

The core task before them now is to clear the snow.

However, since the inner city is relatively small in area, the seven-meter-high snow would be inappropriate no matter where it is placed.

So they used snowblowing pipes to blow the snow in the inner city to the outer city wall, and then from the outer city to the buffer city.

The snow is then blown away by snowblowers and piled up near the boiler factory. After being heated in the factory, it flows into the water plant for treatment and is used as water for subsequent base uses.

As the snow clearing work gradually unfolded, the base losses caused by the white hair wind were also counted.

Li Yu drove a snowmobile to the First Outer City Administrative Office Building.

In the large conference hall, all the senior executives of the large camphor tree base were present.

When Li Yu arrived at the conference hall, it was already packed with people.

He took off his helmet and gloves and placed them on the long table in the middle of the conference room, then took off his thick leather coat and hung it on the chair behind him.

Boom!
He sat on the chair, looked at everyone, and said in a heavy tone:
"Tell me about the current damage to the Dazhangshu base."

The second uncle looked at Lao Lu and said, "Director Lu, please tell us about the casualties first."

Upon hearing this, Lao Lu stood up and reported:

"Two people were frostbitten due to a broken window on the first floor of the No. 3 residential building in the Second Outer City. They have been rescued. The cause was found to be that the strong wind blew up a piece of iron plate and hit the window. Fortunately, they used tables, chairs, beds and bedding to block the gap in time."

"Buffer City, in the residential building, Level 5 personnel in two rooms opened the doors without permission, causing snow to rush in. The people in the two rooms were buried in the snow, and all froze to death."

"In total, 16 people died and 2 suffered frostbite."

When people in the conference room heard what Lao Lu said, their expressions varied.

It was an extremely unlikely event that the windows of the outer city were broken by hanging iron plates.

The actions of the people in the two rooms of the residential building in Zone C of the Buffer City were truly outrageous.

They repeatedly ordered Baimaofeng to seal the doors and windows and not to open them without permission.

In such a strong wind like the white hair wind, it is difficult to close the door once it is opened.

Especially since the snow outside was accumulating very quickly, once the door was opened the wind would blow the snow in and people inside would have no time to react.

Imagine that the indoor temperature is over 20 degrees and most people are wearing long or short sleeves.

I suddenly opened the door. It was minus 85 degrees outside. The cold air came in instantly and the temperature in the room dropped sharply.

You don't have time to put on thick clothes, and the snowflakes in the white wind are like a sandstorm, you can't even see the person standing opposite you indoors.

After learning about this situation, Li Yu sighed and did not express any opinion.

The casualties in the buffer city and the outer city were not caused by quality problems with the housing plumbing projects.

One is accidental, and the other is caused by self-destruction.

He tapped the table and looked at Anya.

“What is the damage to the greenhouse?”

Anya stood up with an ugly look on her face and said:

"A total of 72 greenhouses in the inner city, outer city and buffer city were destroyed, with a total of 1440 acres of planting area destroyed."

"Another 20 greenhouses were damaged and the crops inside were frozen to death."

"A total of 92 greenhouses were affected, and a total of 1840 mu of crops were frozen to death. The affected area accounted for 6.1% of the total planting area."

This is the most serious damage she has suffered since she took charge of the camphor tree base planting industry.

Nearly two thousand acres of crops were devastated.

Eighty-five degrees below zero is no joke. If there is a gap in the greenhouse, the cold air from outside will enter and destroy the crops inside.

Most of the crops they grow are corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes, which are considered to be relatively drought- and cold-resistant.

Even at minus five or six degrees, you can survive for a short period of time.

But in this white-hair wind, the temperature can easily be dozens of degrees below zero. Once the crops inside are swept by the cold air, they will be frozen to death in just a few minutes.

Everyone in the conference room was a little surprised when they heard this data.

For a moment, discussions were heard in the conference room.

"This is the most serious damage we have seen since the establishment of Dazhangshu! 2000 acres of land was damaged. How much food will be lost?"

"Yes, the previous typhoons were not this severe. The typhoons ravaged the greenhouses, but they did not destroy all the crops!"

"I don't know what the damage in the North is like."

"There's nothing we can do about it. The white-haired wind came quickly and went away quickly this time. We didn't have time to make much preparation."

There was a lot of noise in the meeting room.

Li Hang stood up and said in a deep voice: "Silence."

The conference room fell silent instantly.

The second uncle looked at Zhou Weiguo and said, "Weiguo, tell me about the situation at the breeding farm."

Zhou Weiguo waited for a long time and finally it was his turn to speak and report.

He coughed, stood up and answered in a very short sentence.

"Everything is normal at the farm, there is no loss."

After saying this, he sat down somewhat proudly.

Despite such a severe white-hair wind disaster, the breeding farm he was in charge suffered no losses at all. He even stayed at the farm for the past two days, helped breed several sows, and watched two cows give birth with his own eyes.

After hearing his report, Li Yu's expression looked better.

He remembered that during a previous extreme cold weather disaster, the roof of the farm shed was blown away by the wind and many livestock froze to death in the shed.

After that, they rebuilt the farm, replaced the original steel frame shed with reinforced concrete buildings, and implemented zoned breeding.

The upgrade worked.

Later, Ding Jiu talked about the damage to the buildings in the base.

Since they are all reinforced concrete buildings, they basically did not suffer much damage.

Another issue is the mobile switch. The line was blown off in the past two days, causing the switch preheating function to be unable to be turned on, and the mobile switch was instantly frozen.

The switch cannot be opened either.

The line is being repaired at the moment, the switch is being reheated, and the mobile switch is restored to the ready-to-use state.

The ultraviolet lights were not damaged because they were removed during the white-hair wind.

After everyone finished reporting the situation of the Dazhangshu headquarters base,

My second uncle opened his notebook.

"Next, I will talk about the losses in the North and Oil City."

"After a day of snow clearing, Oil City is still clearing snow. So far, the casualties are: 125 people died in the trading market and 45 people suffered frostbite.

These 125 people were all Level personnel living in Area C. The main cause of death was that they failed to seal the doors and windows as required, and some of them froze to death.

Another part of the fights involved fighting over food indoors, resulting in casualties.

Among the 45 people who suffered frostbite, 12 level personnel were frostbitten due to heating problems in the western section of the trading bazaar.

Three houses in the commercial area were seriously damaged.

The oil tower in Oil City was blown down and it is estimated that it will take two months to rebuild the oil tower.

"Northern Territory."

"A total of 143 greenhouses were damaged, covering a total area of ​​2860 mu, accounting for 11.44% of the total area. All the crops inside were frozen to death."

"In terms of casualties, a total of six people suffered frostbite in the sentry tower."

After my second uncle finished reporting the situation in the North and Oil City.

Li Yu took a deep breath, and the expression on his face became extremely ugly.

The big camphor tree has influence in three places.

The area of ​​crops damaged alone reached 5000 mu, and the number of casualties reached hundreds.

Especially at the trading market, more than a hundred people were killed or injured.

Originally, the trading market slums and rooms that had not paid heating fees were not provided with heating, but after the temperature dropped to minus fifty degrees Celsius.

To keep them alive.

Uncle San gave a specific order to provide heating to the entire city, and heating would be turned on in every room as long as there were people living in it.

For some people who are unable to pay their heating bills, it will be recorded on their points number cards.

The fee is charged per day.

For example, a level 0 personnel has a balance of points on his points number card.

He couldn't pay the rent or the heating, but the patrol officers would not kick them out. Instead, they would deduct corresponding points every day.

Their points number cards turned into negative numbers.
-
3 points.
-
10 points.

And charge the lowest interest.

Once these people find a job or make a transaction and have points on their number cards, the points they owed will be automatically deducted.

As long as they are still in the trading market, they can only trade and buy through point number cards.

Moreover, those who owe points cannot leave the trading market.

You can only leave after you have paid off your debt.

As for how to pay back the debt, one can only do the hardest and most tiring work in the trading market, such as clearing and transporting snow.

Or they may have other ways to earn points.

It all depends on personal ability.

At the top of the conference room.

Li Yu sat on the chair and looked at Ding Jiu and Anya and asked:

“Can the greenhouse be repaired?”

Ding Jiu glanced at Anya and replied in an awkward tone:

"It can be repaired, but progress will be very slow. The temperature is too low now. Even alloy steel will become brittle if it is repaired at minus 80 degrees Celsius. Moreover, the construction environment is too harsh and construction workers are prone to frostbite."

“Construction work is now less efficient than one-tenth of what it would be at normal temperatures.”

"I suggest waiting until the temperature rises back to minus fifty degrees before we can start repairs."

"Okay." Li Yu nodded helplessly after hearing that.

There is nothing else to say. Now all the focus is on clearing the snow.

So Li Yu said:

"Then don't repair the greenhouses for now. In order to prevent further outbreaks of white-hair winds, you need to continue reinforcing the remaining greenhouses that are not damaged."

"Okay, City Lord." Ding Jiu nodded.

Li Yu continued:

"In addition, the Natural Disaster Research Institute monitors weather changes at all times and reports any emergencies immediately."

"I understand." Song Zhihong responded quickly.

He was not qualified to attend meetings of this level before, but later, because of these two natural disasters, the importance of the Natural Disaster Research Institute gradually emerged, and he slowly entered such high-level meetings.

Li Yu suddenly remembered something and looked at Bai Jie and asked.

"By the way, is there any new progress in the live research on zombie vaccines that you mentioned last time?"

Just two weeks ago, Bai Jie reported a new experimental project.

The semi-finished zombie vaccine was injected into animals for in vivo experiments.

It has been half a month now and Li Yu never asked, but just happened to think of it today.

Bai Jie replied:
"The latest result of the mouse experiment is that after the vaccine is injected, the mice bitten by zombies can delay the transformation into zombies."

"For the mice that were vaccinated, the time it took to transform into zombies after being bitten by wall-climbing zombies was reduced from 3 seconds to 10 seconds. After being bitten by ordinary zombies, the time it took to transform into zombies was reduced from 30 seconds to 2 minutes."

"In addition, the mice injected with the vaccine will suffer organ failure even if they are not bitten by zombies, and will die within a day."

"so."

"The zombie vaccine is still stuck at the DI element stage. Our conclusions from the experiment are still the same as before. We must have meteorites from outer space to advance the research on the zombie vaccine."

Ugh.
Li Yu sighed slightly. The zombie vaccine has been researched for five years.

I was stuck at the meteorite level for two years.

"It's okay, just proceed according to your research plan." Li Yu comforted.

"Yes, City Lord." Bai Jie sat down.

Since the zombie vaccine is limited by meteorites from outer space, Bai Jie began to think about other directions.

In the past year, the Zombie Research Institute's research focus has shifted to two parts.

Part of it is still research on vaccines.

The other part is to apply zombie experimental scenes based on the characteristics of zombies.

For example, by studying screaming zombies, we can find out the reason why screaming zombies can attract ordinary zombies to approach us based on the frequency of sound waves produced by their screams.

Through research, it was found that when a screaming zombie screams, this special sound wave will cause vibrations in the brain nuclei of ordinary zombies. This vibration is exactly the same as the vibration produced by ordinary zombies after finding food.

This will stimulate the ordinary zombies to move closer to the screaming zombies.

To this end, they jointly built a machine with the Institute of Mechanical Engineering and the Institute of Electronic Information.

This machine can imitate screaming zombies and emit sound waves of the same frequency.

In a way, this machine acts like a zombie attraction potion, attracting ordinary zombies to come closer.

In order to be installed in a helicopter, it can be used to attract zombies to migrate in a certain direction.

The zombie attraction potion attracts zombies through smell.

This machine attracts zombies through hearing.

However, the zombie attracting potion has a huge drawback. As time goes by, the potion will evaporate and cannot last for too long.

But this zombie screaming machine can be used as long as there is electricity.

However, the sound waves produced by this machine have a limited radiation range and can only attract zombies within a radius of about five kilometers.

Except for this screaming machine.

There are also methods such as utilizing the wall-climbing characteristics of wall-climbing zombies to conduct in-depth research on why wall-climbing zombies can climb walls.

Through research, it was found that the fingers of wall-climbing zombies have a layer of thorns, somewhat similar to the fingers in Spider-Man.

But it is different from Spider-Man.

This layer of burrs actually has an adsorption effect, like tiny suction cups that can firmly absorb any object.

Based on the characteristic of wall-climbing zombies, the Zombie Research Institute collaborated closely with the Military Industry Research Department to study whether it was possible to develop individual wall-climbing equipment.

Also.

In a certain sense, wall-climbing zombies have achieved the most coordinated individual weight.

Jumping, running speed and climbing are all extremely strong.

The Zombie Research Institute conducted in-depth research on the skeletal structure of wall-climbing zombies and found that the supporting elasticity was extremely sophisticated. At the same time, it conducted research on individual exoskeleton armor with the Military Research Department.

Both of these are slow developments, but they are the way forward.

The base is currently being electrified.

Lao Dong is an electricity expert and has been studying how to store more electricity in a smaller unit area over the years.

Based on the general development direction of the large camphor tree base, changes are taking place from top to bottom.

Vehicle electrification is already on the way.

Individual soldier exoskeleton armor is the way forward in the future.

(Ask for monthly ticket)

[Big guys, I want to add some development and utilization of zombies in the later stage. What do you think of this direction? Is it worth watching? ]

[Or do you have any suggestions on the development and utilization of zombies? Rub your hands and look forward to it. ]
