Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Chapter 1845: Just a little bit of wind and frost.
"Not enough electricity? How is that possible? Isn't the boiler factory burning coal to generate electricity?"

When Uncle San heard the news, he was obviously a little surprised.

Since the introduction of the boiler factory, the entire trading market and oil city have been heated.

But boilers are not just for heating, they can also generate electricity from heat energy.

There has never been a shortage of electricity in the trading market and the oil city, and there is even a surplus.

Lao Luo quickly explained:
"The boiler plant can generate enough electricity to power the greenhouses, but we are running out of coal. The remaining coal can only last for one and a half months."

"There is flooding outside now. Even if the flood recedes, the coal mining team cannot get out. The ground is full of silt. It may take some time for it to solidify and be able to drive."

Uncle San understood.

Asked: "What suggestions do you have?"

Lao Luo looked at Cao Qiaomu next to him. This was supposed to be a moment for him to demonstrate his abilities.

But after all, it was Cao Qiaomu who made the suggestion, so it would be better for him to speak.

Cao Qiaomu understood what Lao Luo meant by his eyes and said:

"Minister, I think we should immediately expand the scale of zombie generators. Zombie generators only consume zombies, and we can find replenishment everywhere. Coal and oil will run out one day. I think we should learn from the big camphor tree base and vigorously develop a cluster of zombie generators."

"Um"

Uncle San didn't answer him immediately. It's not that he hadn't thought about building a zombie generator before.

However, the Oil City is different from the headquarters base.

The headquarters base has four outer cities, and a third outer city is specially set aside to install a zombie generator.

Even if there is a problem with the zombie generator, it will not affect other areas.

But in the Oil City, if the zombie generator is installed inside the Oil City, the area is not enough.

The oil city actually covers only a few hundred acres, and there are a large number of grain warehouses in the underground part, and residential buildings, reservoirs, parking lots, oil wells, and helipads on the ground.
Now the oil city is very crowded both above and below ground.

The Oil City is not suitable, it can only be in the trading market, but it is not suitable in the trading market either.

There are more than 200,000 people in the trading market, and it is easy to cause trouble if you accidentally enter the zombie generator area.

A buffer city is fine, but it's too far from the oil city.

"Where do you think the zombie generator should be placed?" asked Uncle San.

Cao Qiaomu seemed to be prepared. When he heard his uncle ask this question, he immediately gave an answer.

"The oil city is not big enough, and the buffer city is too far from the oil city, so it's not suitable."

"The only option is the trading market. The east and west areas of the trading market are residential areas, so there are too many people and it's not suitable."

“The West District is an industrial area, and there are too many industrial facilities in the industrial area, and there is not much vacant land.”

"The South District is a storage and transportation area, which is more suitable for transporting zombies or zombie generators."

"The North District is mainly an administrative district. I remember there is an open space around the North District martial arts field, near the gate of our Oil City wall. I think it is the most suitable area."

“I suggest building a wall of about 200 acres next to the wall of the Oil City, and then opening a city gate. This way, you can enter this place from the Oil City and from the trading market.

At the same time, a wall was built, which made the area more closed.”

After listening to this, Uncle San touched the orange cat in his arms.

The orange cat gained weight and lay motionless on Uncle San's thigh. As Uncle San stroked it, it squinted its eyes comfortably.

The cat has shiny fur that feels very nice to the touch. Uncle San met this orange cat many years ago when he was on a mission outside, and has since been raised at the headquarters base.

The last time Li Yu came to Oil City for inspection, he brought it here on behalf of his uncle and later raised it in Oil City.

Wherever Uncle San goes, this fat orange dog follows him. It's like Uncle San's follower.

"This idea is quite interesting. Let's do this. You can discuss with Ding Jiu how to build it. Try to come up with a plan within the next two days, and then we can start building." Uncle San replied.

There are still some building materials in the buffer city.

With an area of ​​only a hundred acres, compared with the construction of the buffer city wall of tens of thousands of acres, this place specially used to place zombie generators requires very little construction materials.

"Okay." Cao Qiaomu looked excited.

After Cao Qiaomu and Lao Luo left, Uncle San came out of the office and turned to the meeting room next door.

Right in front of the conference room, there is a large screen showing the drone projection image.

The picture is divided into several parts, including the situation on Jigong Mountain outside the buffer city, the flood outside the buffer city wall, the construction of the earth and sandbag dam on the wall, and the overall bird's-eye view of the buffer city.
From this huge screen, people in the conference room can know the situation outside even if they stay in Oil City.

Ding Meng saw his uncle coming in and quickly stood up.

"Minister, the speed of dam construction is much faster than the rising speed of water level. There is no problem for the time being."

Uncle San nodded and said:
"Well, keep an eye on the southwest. There's a lot of water there. Also check the surroundings to prevent any abnormal situations from happening."

"Yes."

"Where is Zhong Chuchu?" asked Uncle San.

"She and Captain Liu Jinglue went to receive the food reinforcements from the headquarters."

"Ah."

Big camphor tree base.

Since the western wall of the buffer city is close to the national highway, this side faces the greatest flood pressure.

However, the large camphor tree base is located in the south, and the temperature rises relatively quickly.

The temperature outside has now reached ten degrees above zero.

The snow that was supposed to melt had already melted, forming water that flowed into the low-lying areas.

The height of the buffer city wall reaches 38 meters, and the water level outside the wall reaches an astonishing 29 meters.

After the water level reached 29 meters, it did not continue to rise but instead slowly dropped.

but.

Since the west side of the buffer city is relatively low, all the drainage pipes in the city flow through here.

The powerful water pressure broke through the manhole cover in the west area, and water gushed out, causing flooding.

Under Li Yu's order, Fusheng quickly led people to respond.

Dozens of high-power pumps were placed here to pump water from the west area outside the west wall.

The pumps continued to pump for a day and a night, but they could only keep the water level in the west area from rising.

In the inner city and the outer city, since there are more areas with solidified ground, and the soil in the south is all clay with a low water permeability, and the inner and outer cities are both in relatively high places, there is no water accumulation on the ground, it is just a little damp.

The east side of the buffer city is close to the foot of the mountain, so there is nearly half a meter of accumulated water. After the accumulated water is discharged through the drainage pipes, there is no big problem.

The geographical location between the north and the south is relatively high, and no waterlogging has occurred.

Only the western part of the buffer city was under the greatest pressure.

Wow~
A Unimog vehicle drove to the western area of ​​the buffer city.

Pat pat pat——

After Li Yu got out of the car, he walked on the water to Fusheng who was directing.

"Has the water level not dropped yet?"

Suddenly a voice came from behind him, which scared Fusheng.

"I ride on a horse"

The sound of the water pump here was so loud that even the sound of the Unimog driving over was covered up.

When Fusheng was about to swear, he turned around and saw that it was Li Yu, and quickly swallowed the curse words. "City Lord, why are you here?"

"Let me take a look. The last time I came here to see the accumulated water, it seemed to be here. Did you encounter any problems?" Li Yu didn't care about these details.

“No, no, no, that’s it.”

Fusheng quickly explained:
"Now that most of the snow has melted, I just went up to the wall to measure it. The water level outside the wall is dropping."

"It's just that the geographical location of the West District is too low, and the underground water and the manhole covers of the drainage pipes can't hold it down at all. The water pressure is too high. In order to avoid blowouts in other places, we simply concentrate the pressure here."

"It just so happens that the area near the wall in the west has not been developed, so the impact is not that big."

"In a few days, the water level outside will drop, and the accumulated water here will naturally recede."

Li Yu nodded and looked at the hundred-acre lake formed in front of him.

The terrain here is indeed the lowest, and it is also the main outlet of the drainage pipe of the Dazhangshu base.

Even if they built an earth-and-rock dam similar to the one in the oil city, they still could not prevent the flooding here.

The water in the west district is formed by groundwater seeping in here and the water gushing out from the drainage pipes.

Now that we can keep the water level from rising, our goal has been achieved.

"Okay, you keep busy here. If you need anything later, just contact me directly." After saying this, Li Yu returned to the Unimog.

Fusheng looked at the direction where the Unimog was leaving and at the lake in front of him, seeming to be thinking about something.

They have already called on the most powerful pumps, dozens of them, to pump out as much water as possible from the west area.

Anyway, this area in the west district has not been developed much, so it can be used as a buffer for accumulated water.

It is very worthwhile to sacrifice the hundred acres of land in the west area in exchange for preventing waterlogging in the entire camphor tree base.

"After this flood is over, I must reinforce the drainage pipes, damn it!" Fusheng said secretly in his heart.

On the western section of the wall, dozens of water pipes as big as heads were fixed to the buttresses.

A torrent of water gushed out of the water pipe and rushed under the wall.

It was like dozens of water dragons, hitting the water surface below, washing the zombies floating on the water surface to the bottom of the water.

On the fence.

Old Xie smoothed his hair, puffed on his cigarette, and looked in the direction where the Unimog left.

He said to Yu Lei next to him:
"Old Yu, why didn't you go down and say hello to the city lord when he came just now?"

Yu Lei glanced at Old Xie and said bluntly:
"Why don't you go down? It's so far away. By the time I get down, the city lord will have left."

Although Yu Lei is only a captain under the Civil Armed Forces Department, he was promoted to level 2 a few days ago.

But he has been a member of the Dazhangshu Base for a long time and can be considered a veteran.

So when facing Lao Xie, a Level 1 personnel who once served as a commander in the North, he did not show the slightest bit of servility.

The most important thing is that the two of them are too familiar with each other.

Old Xie chuckled. Ever since he withdrew from the northern border, he had been spending his days at the Big Camphor Tree Base, feeling quite comfortable.

Usually he leads the Second Battalion of the Operations Department. When there is a mission, he carries it out. When there is no mission, he just comes to the wall to help out or something.

"Didn't Qingyang heal your leg? Why are you limping again these days?" Xie Shangfu threw the cigarette, which was only left with the butt, into the water outside the wall.

Yu Lei sighed.

"It's an old problem. I can't help it. It hurts when it's damp. I've been busy here lately and can't go find Hua Qian and Qing Yang. I'll go get some cupping to get rid of the dampness after the flood recedes."

Looking at Xie Shangzhou, who had sparse hair, Yu Lei suddenly asked:
"Xiao Jing should be ten years old now, right? I haven't seen her for a long time."

"Ten years old?"

Old Xie glanced at Yu Lei with disdain, "Twelve years old!"

"When she first entered the camphor tree base, she was only five years old. In a blink of an eye, more than seven years have passed since the end of the world, and it has been seven years since she joined the camphor tree base."

"What subject do you plan to study?" Yu Lei asked.

At the age of twelve, and then a year later, when you are thirteen, you can start choosing subjects and majors at the Dazhangshu Base.

"She plans to study farming."

Old Xie seemed to be afraid that Yu Lei might misunderstand him, so he added:
"I didn't interfere. It was entirely her own choice. But it doesn't matter. After all, if she studies this, she won't go out much, so it's safe."

"Very good." Yu Lei nodded.

He had mixed feelings, he had no family left, not a single one.

The big camphor tree base is like home to him.

"Do you still remember the girl Xuanxuan?" Old Xie suddenly said after a while.

Upon hearing this, Yu Lei asked curiously:
"I remember. I remember a very capable little girl. What's the matter?"

Old Xie had some emotion:

"That girl chose the combat department two years ago and has already graduated. She has now joined the commando team. It is said that she defeated an entire group as soon as she joined the commando team and became a team leader."

"It's like the Yangtze River is like the waves behind pushing the waves ahead, and we are being pushed onto the beach."

"What!?"

Yu Lei said in shock: "The commando team! That's our entire Dazhangshu force. Apart from the special operations team, it's the team with the strongest individual combat power. She just went there and knocked out an entire team? There are ten people in a team!"

"Such a monster????"

Xie Shangzhou smacked his lips and said:
"Who says it's not true? This girl's fighting ability is simply ridiculous. It is said that when she was studying in the combat department, she got full marks in all subjects."

"And Director Lu's daughter also went to the Operations Department, which made Director Lu very angry. Hahahaha."

Yu Lei thought for a moment and said, "Lü Zifei?"

"Yes, the same age as Xuanxuan." Old Xie nodded.

Yu Lei recalled for a long time, "It seems that among the fifteen or sixteen-year-olds in the base, Xuanxuan is the most outstanding, right?"

"Well, it seems so."

Old Xie suddenly thought of a few people, "No, there are a few other good candidates, but they are younger than them."

"There's a guy called Zhang Zhixing, and the son of Instructor Jackal, Xu Ziyong, who also seems to be doing pretty well."

When Old Xie talked about Zhang Zhixing, he felt inexplicably emotional.

This Zhang Zhixing is the son of the city lord’s aunt, and can be considered the city lord’s cousin.

When he first joined the camphor tree base, at an open-air dinner party, he saw Zhang Zhixing was just a little kid, picking his nose and wiping it on his mother's clothes.

He was chased by his mother with a stick, running around the big camphor tree in the center for many times.

He even lost his shoes while running, and he kept crying and begging for mercy, which made everyone laugh.

He remembered that scene very clearly.

Before we knew it, that little kid who loved picking his nose had grown into a teenager.

Time flies by so fast
The few strands of hair on his head were now even thinner, and most of them were white.

Looking at the few strands of white hair scattered around.

Old Xie said faintly: "Alas, it's just a little bit of wind and frost."

"Ok??"

Yu Lei frowned and said with a disdainful tone:
“No pretense allowed.”
