Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Chapter 2075 The First People's Broadcasting Station under the Big Camphor Tree!

A few days later.

The city lord's inspection team concluded its month-long inspection and embarked on its journey back to the headquarters base.

Starting from the Yumen Oilfield branch base, the train traveled eastward without stopping at the Jiuquan, Zhangye, or Wuyuanshan branch bases.

After arriving in the oil city at 1:30 p.m., we stayed there for an hour before continuing our return journey to the headquarters.

We finally arrived at the headquarters at 5:30 p.m.

A month later, Li Yu specifically asked the driver to take a look at the plantation built around the headquarters base outside the city.

There are currently three plantations outside the city surrounding the headquarters base.

The No. 1 City Outside Plantation covers an area of ​​2 mu and is located in Qiaotou Township, 15 kilometers away from the headquarters base. The terrain is relatively high and the space is relatively large.

The No. 2 plantation covers an area of ​​5 mu, only a quarter the size of the No. 1 plantation, but it is relatively close to the headquarters base, only ten kilometers away.

Plantation No. 1 and Plantation No. 2 were completed at this time, and Plantation No. 1 had been planted thanks to the efforts of the Ministry of Agriculture.

Plantation No. 2 was recently handed over to the Ministry of Agriculture, and the Ministry is still cultivating it.

As for Plantation No. 3, construction has just begun, with a planned construction area of ​​15,000 mu (approximately 1000 hectares). It is located a little further away from the headquarters base of the Great Camphor Tree, at 17 kilometers away.

Once the three plantations outside the city are completed, the production area will reach 4 mu, the annual grain output will reach 4.5 tons, and it is expected to feed 18 people.

Including the existing headquarters base, the buffer city, the four outer cities, and the greenhouses in the inner city, the planting area is 2.5 mu.

In this way, the total production area of ​​the Dazhangshu headquarters base will reach 6.5 mu, with an annual grain output of 7.8 tons, which is expected to feed 30 people.

Recently, the camphor tree faction has been aggressively promoting itself to attract outside survivors, and its population is growing by tens of thousands every month.

The headquarters base in Dazhangshu and the oil city attracted the most people.

When Li Yu returned from his month-long inspection tour, the population of the Dazhangshu headquarters base had increased by 1, reaching a staggering 13.

The oil city, located in the Central Plains, had a large number of survivors, and its population increased by 3 in just one month, reaching a total of 61.

Due to its vast area and sparse population, the Northwest Base has only grown by 2,000 people in the past few months, bringing its total population to 10300.

While Oriental Paradise has a relatively large number of survivors in the surrounding area, it has only been open for a short time, and currently only has a little over 10,000 people.

However, the Northern Territory experienced rapid growth, increasing dramatically from an initial three thousand-plus people.

The oil city supported several thousand people, and with the influx of survivors from other areas, the number surged to nearly 20,000 in just two months.

The total population of the entire camphor tree region reached 79, just 1 short of breaking the 80 mark.

buzzing-

The helicopter landed in the second outer city of the headquarters base in Dazhangshu.

As soon as he got off the helicopter and headed to the administration building, Li Yu noticed a large crowd gathered in the small square of the second outer city.

In the center of the small square stands a concrete pillar that wasn't there before.

A huge loudspeaker was hanging above.

Li Yu, walking on the street, could hear the sound from the loudspeaker:

"Hello everyone, residents of Dazhangshu! This is Dazhangshu First People's Broadcasting Station. Today is our first day of trial operation. Welcome to listen!"

“In the coming days, we will be broadcasting on the radio every day from 8:00 to 9:00 in the morning, from 12:00 to 1:00 in the afternoon, and from 6:00 to 7:00 in the evening.”

"In the coming days, this radio station will broadcast news about current events in our big camphor tree, as well as wilderness survival tips, lists of valuable items for scavenging, job postings, songs, and more."

Li Yu looked at the loudspeaker in the distance across the small square in surprise and asked Lao Bi beside him:

"When was that thing made?"

Lao Bi explained with a smile:
"These are all short-frequency broadcasts from Dong Yingnong of the Ministry of Communications. She said that this kind of short-frequency wireless broadcast can transmit signals to very far places, including cities, villages, highways and mountainous areas, without relying on base station relays."

"Oh?" Li Yu asked curiously.

"Can it cover the entire Zhangshu area? Including places as far away as the Yumen Oilfield?"

Lao Bi nodded vigorously and said:
"She said yes, radio broadcasting is a powerful signal source that can cover very far places, even the Northwest can receive it."

"This was only done a couple of days ago. Since you weren't at headquarters, the chairman said it was okay to do it, so Dong Ying started making arrangements these past two days. Currently, the Wushi military base and several outlying plantations around our big camphor tree are trying to receive the signals."

"If there are no problems with today's experiment, we will have other branch bases receive the radio signal tomorrow."

After listening to it, Li Yu felt that this thing was pretty good.

Through this large camphor tree-themed First People's Broadcasting Station, we will strengthen the connections between the various branch bases.

For a long time, the radio stations they used were mostly used by middle and upper management, making it difficult for lower-level residents to learn about the situation in other sub-bases.

With this radio station, it will be much easier to unify ideological education, disseminate information, and even recruit workers.

nice one.

"Please contact Dong Ying from the Communications Department and have her come to the administration building. I want to ask her in person."

"Okay." Old Bi gave a few instructions to his subordinates and then followed Li Yu toward the administration building.

The sixth floor of the Second Outer City Administrative Building.

Li Yu has never had a private office; instead, he arranged a separate chairman's office for his second uncle.

Li Yu's second uncle had always wanted to get one for him, but Li Yu felt it was unnecessary.

Anyway, he rarely comes to the administration building. When he does come, it's usually for meetings, which can be held directly in the main conference room.

But Second Uncle always felt this was inappropriate, so this time, while Li Yu was out on inspection, he arranged for Li Yu to have a city lord's office on the sixth floor of the administration building.

"Second Uncle, what exactly are you up to? Why are you being so mysterious?" (Sixth floor of the administration building)

As soon as they arrived, the second uncle pulled Li Yu aside and said he wanted to give him a gift.

I insisted on dragging him to the sixth floor.

My second uncle smiled and pointed to the right, "Look."

Li Yu looked over curiously and saw that the right side was all glass, and pleated curtains covered the scene inside.

Above the front gate hangs a gilded sign that reads: City Lord's Office.

Looking at the scene, Li Yu shook his head helplessly and said:

"This is really unnecessary."

He looked at his second uncle with amusement and asked, "Second Uncle, are you trying to slack off? We agreed before that I would be responsible for the overall strategy and development direction of our big camphor tree."

Uncle looked around to make sure no one else was there, then patted Li Yu's shoulder lightly and said:
"You little rascal, you want to slack off, thinking you can retire at such a young age!"

"Hahaha." Li Yu laughed awkwardly, then walked to the door and pushed it open.

The first thing you see is an antique-style screen that looks quite old.

This screen blocks the view from behind.

Two potted plants were also planted on each side, their lush greenery looking very pleasing.

Li Yu walked around the screen and then realized that the city lord's office was quite large.

It's at least 100 square meters and looks extremely spacious.

On the left, there is a huge chair with a soft cushion on it.

In front of the table and chairs was a desk that was more than three meters long, and on the desk was a huge LCD screen.

There are also some decorations.

Near the window, there is a two-meter-long table, complete with all the traditional Chinese writing implements.

These tables are all made of solid wood, and the writing implements on them all look very high-quality.

A little further in, there is a table football table with four comfortable-looking chairs behind it.

Further on, there was a solid wood art coffee table, surrounded by six matching chairs. Near the aisle, there was a row of wine cabinets and bookshelves, filled with high-end-looking imported liquors, except for the tables themselves.

At the very bottom is a rest area made up of a long sofa and two short sofas.

There was a small door on the bottom right. Li Yu opened the door and exclaimed, "Wow!"
The room is nearly 20 square meters and is fully equipped with a shower, toilet, and bed.

Li Yu looked at his second uncle with amusement and said:
"Second Uncle, are you expecting me to live in your office?! You've even prepared a bed for me, and I can shower and use the toilet here too!"

Uncle said helplessly:
“Every time there’s a break in the meeting, you come and squeeze into my office. Besides, you should have a city lord’s office by now. You are a city lord after all!”

Li Yu saw that the office had already been set up, and with just a quick glance, he knew that his second uncle must have put a lot of thought into creating this office.

Refusing would only disappoint my second uncle's good intentions.

Li Yu carefully examined the office and discovered that it contained many antiques.

Some of the antiques seem to have been famous before the apocalypse.

"Second Uncle, is this 'A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains' real or fake?" Li Yu asked, pointing to the extremely long painting behind the desk.

My second uncle explained with a smile:
"It should be true. A while ago, a survivor from the Northern Border handed over some items to exchange for points. That team brought over a lot of good stuff, all of which were found at the Forbidden City."

"???" Li Yu was completely dumbfounded.

This picture would be priceless in a post-apocalyptic world.

Who doesn't know Wang Ximeng's painting "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains"?

Unexpectedly, it is now hanging so beautifully in his office.

My second uncle pointed to some items around him and introduced them:

"Those survivors got quite a few good things, but they only took a few dozen items, and they were all good things. Look at this jade artifact."

"This is a jade treasure, one of the ten national treasures of the museum, a celadon jade dragon and cloud pattern incense burner."

"And this one, a treasure of enamel, a cloisonné enamel incense burner with lotus scroll design and elephant-ear handles."

Li Yu inhaled the sandalwood scent in the air and watched the smoke rising above the elephant-ear incense burner.

"Use it directly for burning incense?"

"Uh," Uncle said awkwardly, "isn't this just what we need?"

"Come, look at this painting! This is the famous 'Along the River During the Qingming Festival'!"

Li Yu was momentarily stunned as he looked at the antique-style calligraphy and paintings.

Looking around at the embroidered ware, ceramics, calligraphy and paintings, and lacquerware, one can immediately tell that they are exquisite pieces.

Moreover, based on my second uncle's explanation, these things are most likely true.

After all, this thing was directly imported from the Palace Museum.

These things would have been rare even before the apocalypse, but now they are displayed in his office as decorations, and some of them are even being used directly.

This is absolutely outrageous!
Is this fucking right?
Seeing that Li Yu was silent, his second uncle quickly pointed to a spot and said, "Look here."

Li Yu looked over and saw a round earthenware jar with a water flow on it.

There were two or three small fish in the tank, and a few clumps of pennywort floating on the surface.

There is also a row of potted plants near the outside window, including asparagus fern, spider plant, and snake plant.

“Xiaoyu, let me tell you, I even specially invited Master Qingyang Daoxuanzi to arrange the layout according to traditional feng shui.”

"Look, this seat has a mountain behind it, and the functional areas are divided according to the principle of 'Green Dragon on the left and White Tiger on the right.' Have you noticed that the air here is quite good and the lighting is also quite nice?"

This screen and green plants can neutralize the negative energy emanating from the doorway.

There's also this wealth corner. We often improve our fortune by placing green plants or feng shui ornaments in the wealth corner, so here we've placed a large jar and some money plants.

"It's flowing water."

As Li Yu listened to his second uncle describe the office layout, his mind went blank for a moment.

But he recovered quickly.

After all, this is the apocalypse, and many things cannot be viewed with the same perspective as before the apocalypse.

What might be priceless before the apocalypse might be less valuable to some than a tortilla.

The apocalypse is a process of reshuffling the deck and redefining the value of things.

However, once the situation stabilizes, these antiques may be praised again.

My second uncle talked for a long time before finally stopping.

"That's about it. Do you like it?" Uncle Er looked at Li Yu with a smile.

Li Yu took a deep breath and said:

"I like it, thank you for your trouble, Second Uncle."

"Second Uncle, you're so good to me!"

Li Yu said the last sentence with a helpless tone.

My second uncle clearly wanted me to spend more time in this office, which is why he decorated it so luxuriously.

It's even better than the room he lives in.

Tuk Tuk——

Just then, there was a knock at the door.

Li Yu remembered that he had asked Lao Bi to bring Dong Ying along, and now Dong Ying should be here.

So he called out, "Come in."

Lao Bi pushed open the door, and sure enough, Dong Ying was following behind him.

The two of them were shocked when they entered.

So big!
"Lord of the city, I have brought Dong Ying with me."

"it is good."

Li Yu nodded, casually sat down on the sofa, and pointed to the sofas on either side, saying:
"Come and sit."

After Lao Bi walked over and sat on the sofa, he exclaimed in surprise:
"Lord, your office is so stylishly decorated, it's beautiful!"

Old Bi is a shrewd person. He's been staying in Dazhangshu recently and comes to the administration building every day, so he naturally knows about the renovation of the sixth floor of the administration building.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he praised Li Yu and also his second uncle, who had taken charge of setting up the office.

Sure enough, after hearing his praise, the second uncle couldn't help but smile as he sat on the sofa.

This little Bi is good at talking; if he's good at talking, he should say more.

Li Yu glanced at his second uncle and said:
"The president helped with the arrangements."

"The chairman has done a great job," Old Bi praised.

Uncle said, "The city lord's office should naturally be set up nicely, what do you say, Lao Bi?"

Old Bi quickly chimed in:
"Yes, as the city lord of our Great Camphor Tree faction, leading hundreds of thousands of people, he definitely needs to have enough prestige!"

Li Yu, no longer wanting to listen to their bickering, looked at Dong Ying and asked:
"Dong Ying, are you sure this radio broadcast you set up can cover the northwest and northern regions?"

Dong Ying, who had been silent and dared not interrupt, finally spoke up when Li Yu asked her a question:

"OK."

"In general, shortwave broadcasting can theoretically cover the entire globe, but in practice, the specific coverage effect is affected by factors such as time, season, and solar activity cycle."

"Currently, covering a few branch bases of the Big Camphor Tree faction is not a problem at all. I can verify it for you tomorrow."
