Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Chapter 2067 An Unexpected Gain! (Third Update)
Northern part of ND city.

Qidu Town.

ND City is mainly mountainous and hilly, with a small area of ​​marine and alluvial plains along the coast.

The terrain is high in the west and north, low in the east and south, and rises in the center, roughly forming a "gate"-shaped terrace.

CATL's Z-base is located in Qidu Town, in the northern part of ND City.

The reason this place was listed as one of the most important collection locations in the Big Camphor Tree Collection Operation is because it is home to CATL (Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited).

Before its collapse, CATL was a leading global new energy technology company.

With a global reach, it is one of the companies with the best battery technology.

After a day and a half of driving, Miao Tianji finally led the main force here.

Before arriving at CATL, a quarter of the scavengers in the group broke away from the convoy.

These scavengers chose to travel to surrounding cities to collect supplies on their own.

There was no mandatory requirement for collecting camphor trees; they were free to collect them on their own or join the main group.

However, once these people separated from the main force, they had to replenish their own fuel.

Therefore, before leaving the camphor tree base, these people had already purchased some fuel, put it in barrels, and kept it in their vehicles for later use.

CATL New Energy Z Base.

It was desolate, with only the sound of wind blowing through the falling leaves.

The walls were dilapidated, and withered vines hung down, swaying in the wind.

There was a lot of dried droppings on the ground, indicating that many animals used to live in this place.

Looking at the desolate new energy base, Miao Tianji was not disappointed at all, but rather extremely pleasantly surprised.

Standing at the gate, he squatted down, picked up some soil from the ground, and rubbed his fingers together.

"It seems this place wasn't flooded by seawater, which means the equipment inside was most likely undamaged. That's good news!"

He waved to the back, signaling the convoy to proceed.

Boom boom boom~
He stepped aside and watched the vehicles enter the new energy base.

Looking down at the map on my iPad, I saw that we were about 14 kilometers from the beach.

After thinking for a long time, he picked up the walkie-talkie and asked:
"Guan Zhuo, what's the situation along the coast?"

Zizzi~
A few seconds later, Guan Zhuo replied:

"There are very few zombies on this beach; you can't see many."

Not many zombies?
Miao Tianji looked at the map carefully. Ningde is indeed bordered by the sea to the east, but the sea to the east is an inland sea.

It has land in the north and south, and islands in the middle.

If you want to get to the easternmost part of Ningde, it's still 100 kilometers away.

It seems that although this place is by the sea, it is still relatively safe.

After thinking for a moment, Miao Tianji said to the money jar:

"Leave one team over there to keep watch, everyone else come back."

"Yes."

Tread-tap-

Just then, someone walked over from the side.

"Captain Miao, regarding this CATL (Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited) new energy base, we mainly need to acquire these few things:
Power battery systems, energy storage battery systems, battery materials and recycling, and battery mineral raw materials.

After the staff goes in, tell them not to move around. I'll explain some precautions to them first. After so much time, some batteries might be bulging and leaking, which is quite dangerous.

Miao Tianji turned his head and saw Zhang San, the power system expert who had been specially sent by the headquarters.

Zhang San is the deputy to Dong Chengpeng, the head of the Dazhangshu power system, and is a pillar of the Dazhangshu power system.

Miao Tianji replied without hesitation:

"Okay."

He then picked up the walkie-talkie and contacted the deputy captain, Mu Tou:

"Wood, don't let them go in yet. There are some things we need to explain to them beforehand." "Okay."

Half an hour later, the convoy entered the new energy base, and Zhang San also took the opportunity to briefly check out the situation inside the base factory.

Basically, all the batteries here are unusable.

Extreme cold and extreme heat have a devastating impact on these batteries.

When the temperature exceeds a certain level, the battery here will bulge, and may even explode.

One of the factory buildings exploded, and all the batteries inside were destroyed.

at this time.

Zhang San stood on the roof of a car, holding a small megaphone and shouting to the crowd:

"Once inside, please note the following:"

"First, regarding the batteries, I just checked them, and they're basically all blown up. Everyone, please don't touch them."

Secondly, everyone is mainly there to move battery manufacturing equipment. These things must be moved according to regulations, otherwise it will be troublesome to assemble them.

third"

Zhang San listed seven or eight points of attention in a scattered manner. After finishing these points, he jumped off the roof of the car.

"Captain Miao, you can start now. The few people I brought have already gone in to put on the labels. Now, let everyone load the labels onto the truck first."

With Zhang San around, Miao Tianji has much less to worry about.

He waved his hand. "Alright, Wood, let them get started."

Seeing Zhang San about to leave, Miao Tianji quickly chased after him and asked:

"Zhang San, are the things here really that important? If we move them back, will it have a big impact on our big camphor tree?"

Zhang San couldn't hide his joy and said:

"The battery itself isn't the key point; batteries have a lifespan eventually. The main issues are the technology for manufacturing batteries and the technology and equipment for battery recycling. As long as we can manage the power battery system and the energy storage battery system..."

That means our camphor tree power base will be able to produce even more electric vehicles in the future.”

Miao Tianji frowned and asked:

"Wouldn't that require developing vehicle manufacturing equipment? And those two battery systems you mentioned don't seem to be enough, do they?"

Zhang San shook his head and said:
"No, no, no, the most important things for electric vehicles are these two systems. If you can master these two systems, the other vehicle manufacturing equipment will be relatively simple."

"Otherwise, why do you think most car manufacturers used batteries from just a few companies before the apocalypse? Battery systems have technical barriers to entry."

"You can think of it as the engine and transmission of a gasoline car. If these two problems are solved, is it still difficult to build a gasoline car?"

After pondering for a moment, Miao Tianji nodded and said:

"If that's the case, then that's certainly true."

Zhang San quickly replied:
"Okay, that's all for now. I have to get back to work. I'll talk to you in more detail later. I didn't expect that even though the batteries are all ruined, the equipment and raw materials are still here. Why didn't we come here to look for them sooner?"

He walked away after saying that.

Miao Tianji heard his last words and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

It used to be so dangerous to come to the beach.

The area within a hundred kilometers of the coast has always been the most dangerous place in the post-apocalyptic world, apart from first-tier cities.

Zombies love water, so they prefer coastal areas.

Moreover, the number of zombies is relatively large in coastal areas.

It took a lot of effort to get to that car factory in the suburbs of M.

A few years ago, they didn't dare to come to the coast, so they could only go to Ganfeng Lithium Battery Company. It just so happened that the place was not far from the Dazhangshu base, so they managed to get a lot of equipment.

Now that they've come here, they've gained more than they imagined.

Miao Tianji looked at the sun in the sky, feeling somewhat dazzled.

"Hopefully the zombies will return to land later, so that we can quickly advance the industrial strength of the camphor tree."
