Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Chapter 2084 Twelve Fortresses! A Mountain of Supplies!

a few days later.

With the help of dozens of railway engineers, hundreds of experienced railway workers, and ten thousand new workers, the project has been completed.

In addition, preliminary materials have been prepared.

They officially began repairing the railway from the headquarters base in Dazhangshu to the oil city.

To speed things up, Shan Ziming and Zhang Yunxiang worked simultaneously from both sides, one in the south and one in the north.

This railway line passes through Wushi, not far from the Wushi military base, so the north-south railways will converge here.

At that time, this place can also become a stop on this Dashi Railway line.

This time, Ding Jiu wanted to help Shan Ziming and Zhang Yunxiang.

He also transferred a deputy chief engineer from various construction sites to assist him, along with dozens of first and second-level supervisors and several other skilled workers, to work together to support the railway construction project.

After finishing all that, Ding Jiu immediately started a new project.

He served as the chief engineer of the camphor tree's power.

He no longer needs to personally oversee the execution of these projects.

I only need to make some appearances during the project initiation process, participate in the development of feasibility plans, and facilitate negotiations with the city lord and the management committee of the Big Camphor Tree to seek their support.

The construction department currently has dozens of large projects underway.

These major projects are all overseen by the deputy chief engineer. Currently, there are a total of seven deputy chief engineers in the entire Dazhangshu force, spread across various bases in Dazhangshu.

In addition, there are dozens of third-level supervisors under the deputy chief engineer.

There are more than two hundred second-level supervisors under the third-level supervision.
There are more than a thousand people under the first-level supervision of the second-level supervision.

These more than 1,000 first-level supervisors manage 150,000 to 160,000 workers in the Dazhangshu area.

The entire construction department is structured in this way, with a total of eight levels.

Chief Engineer – Deputy Chief Engineer – Level 3 Supervisor – Level 2 Supervisor – Level 1 Supervisor – Master Craftsman – Intermediate Skilled Craftsman – Junior Craftsman

After arranging this matter properly.

Ding Jiu then went to Minister He's office at the Ministry of Science and Technology.

The sea fog arrived at the headquarters base in the Great Camphor Tree a few months later, and naturally they couldn't have been completely unprepared.

Therefore, the construction department, together with the technology department, discussed what preparations could be made.

Currently, they have started construction on a headquarters base around the large camphor tree, building twelve fixed concrete fortresses.

These twelve fortresses were built at a high vantage point 10 kilometers away from the big camphor tree.

A single fortress will have an area of ​​300 square meters and a height of 100 meters.

The overall shape resembles a blast furnace chimney, and it is entirely made of poured concrete, with gun ports, muzzles, and observation towers installed.

These twelve fortresses will form an unbreakable defensive line against the zombies lurking in the sea fog.

Also.

These twelve underground tunnels will be dug underground to connect the headquarters buffer city of Dazhangshu, enabling the normal transportation of ammunition, personnel, and supplies.

The twelve fortresses can also spray substances to eliminate fog at fixed points in the air.

Combined with the walls of the Great Camphor Tree Buffer City and these twelve fortresses, their model simulations show that the sea fog within a ten-kilometer radius of the Great Camphor Tree can be kept clear for an extended period. Once the sea fog clears, it will turn into rain.

In any case, visibility is almost zero due to sea fog, so rain is better than seeing nothing at all.

They took many photos of the mutated zombies and zombie animals in the ocean.

But beneath the surface of the sea, there may be powerful zombies unknown to them.

With the large camphor tree as the central anchor point, twelve fortresses surrounded the tree, forming a massive network of firepower.

The entire camphor tree region was abuzz with activity.

They raced against time, achieving rapid leaps in the shortest possible time.

The Big Camphor Tree Administrative Building.

A figure hurriedly ran up to the second floor and found Liu Jianwu, the Minister of Industry.

Liu Jianwu saw Liu Huajiu enter and asked with a headache:
"What happened again?"

Liu Huajiu has come to see him many times, and each time it's about expanding the factory.

Because after the large-scale collection operation, many of the equipment and materials transported from various places included items needed by car manufacturing plants.

In addition, the demand for vehicles is extremely high due to massive infrastructure construction.

Therefore, the pressure on the car manufacturing plant is immense. Liu Huajiu is questioned daily by the construction department, the transportation department, and even the heads of various bases.

Tell Liu Huajiu to increase production capacity as soon as possible and produce more electric trucks.

Therefore, the car factory has been undergoing expansion for the past month and a half.

Liu Huajiu rubbed his hands together and said:
"It's still about expansion, but He Chao, the head of the buffer city, said that the expansion area has reached its limit, and the car factory can no longer be expanded in the buffer city."

Liu Jianwu frowned. He was in charge of the Industrial Department, and all the industrial factories within the Great Camphor Tree's territory were under his management.

The supervisors of the Northern Base also approached him directly, asking him to distribute more electric vehicles over there.

Therefore, he always supported Liu Huajiu's proposal to expand the project.

he asked:
"As far as I know, there is a large vacant lot next to the car factory. Why can't it be used?"

Liu Huajiu replied helplessly:

He Chao said that the car factory now occupies 300 acres, and further expansion would affect the nearby residential area.

Moreover, the adjacent plot of land has already been used for other purposes.

"What should we do then?!" Liu Jianwu stood up and walked to the map of the headquarters base in Dazhangshu.

However, it is not easy to find another few hundred acres of open land in the buffer zone of Dazhangshu.

Liu Huajiu quickly stepped forward and said:

“There is a way; we can build a branch factory in the outskirts of the city.”

“The peripheral city covers an area of ​​70,000 to 80,000 mu, so it’s no problem for us to build a 500-mu factory.”

"Moreover, the outer city wall is now four-fifths complete and will soon be fully encircled. It's the same if we start building the factory first."

Liu Jianwu's eyes lit up.

Indeed!
Liu Huajiu's idea not only solved the problems that caused the factory, but also solved the problems of other factories expanding.

The buffer city has a limited area, containing residential areas, agricultural planting areas, commercial areas, and a specially set-up military defense zone.

The area left for their industrial zone is limited.

Since launching the large-scale collection mission, the Great Camphor Tree has acquired a massive amount of equipment and materials.

With large-scale infrastructure projects underway and population growth, existing factories operating at full capacity are still unable to meet demand.

Therefore, these existing factories are all seeking to expand.

On the other hand, upstream and downstream industrial factories are also being built continuously, improving the industrial chain of Dazhangshu.

The buffer city area is not enough, but the peripheral cities are perfectly fine!

just
According to their original plan, construction in the outskirts of the city would not begin until the walls were in place.

But at this point, there aren't any zombies outside and it's not dangerous.

Moreover, the expansion of factory types and factory area is an urgent matter.

Building it in advance is also an option.

Thinking of this, Liu Jianwu turned to Liu Huajiu and said:
“Okay, your suggestion is very good. I’ll go talk to the chairman about it first. He’ll most likely agree. Also, you should find Chief Engineer Ding and have their construction department design the blueprints for the new factory.”

After saying that, he walked out of the office and headed upstairs to the president's office.

Liu Huajiu followed closely behind and walked out of the office to the ground floor.

As soon as he sat on the electric scooter, his bottom was burned, causing him to jump up.

He was in such a rush that he didn't park his electric scooter under the shed; it got so hot in the sun in just a few minutes.

The weather is really strange these days. It's already autumn, but the temperature is still so high.

He pushed the electric scooter under the parking shed, switched to another electric scooter, and rode it to find Ding Jiu.

the other side.

Li Yuan and Qing Yang also led a group of people from the logistics department to the oil city.

We've been receiving so much material and equipment from the oil city lately.

On the outskirts of the oil city, a designated area was set aside specifically for the temporary storage of supplies and equipment.

However, due to the large quantity of supplies, a major problem arose at the storage location.

The storage area must complete tasks such as inventorying, classifying, and organizing.

Only after the items are categorized and inventoried can they be delivered to the various branch bases. But right now, things are a complete mess there.

In the logistics department that Li Yuan was in charge of, there was also a team that was specifically responsible for classifying, organizing and storing supplies.

Among the large camphor trees, they possess extremely rich experience and skills in handling the inventory of massive amounts of materials.

So this time, they went there to provide guidance.

Li Yuan sat in the helicopter cabin, holding a report in her hand.

Qingyang, standing beside him, said with some heartache:

"You're several months pregnant, and you still insisted on coming. Sigh."

Li Yuan was also feeling sleepy, so she simply put the report in her hand on her lap.

Acting coquettishly:
"My head hurts so much, but I can't sleep. What should I do?"

Qingyang pulled Li Yuan to sit down on the recliner sofa.

This sustainable helicopter was specially prepared for the business trips of senior executives of Dazhangshu, and it is fully equipped.

Li Yuan sat on the soft recliner and touched the back of her head and neck.

Qingyang immediately understood, "Come on, let me give you a massage."

A happy smile appeared on Li Yuan's face as she slowly closed her eyes.

Qingyang's technique was excellent. He himself was skilled in acupuncture and massage, and he naturally knew all the acupoints on the human body.

Under Qingyang's just-right kneading, Li Yuan's brows gradually relaxed, and she soon fell into a deep sleep.

More than two hours later, they arrived at the oil city.

Li Yuan, who had slept for more than an hour, felt like she could kill a cow when she woke up.

She looked at Qingyang, her eyes filled with love.

"I slept so well!"

"Qingyang, it's so good to have you."

Qingyang smiled but didn't say anything.

The helicopter landed.

Li Yuan and his group traveled non-stop, boarding a special car and heading from the main city to the outskirts.

This is Li Yuan's third visit to the oil city.

As they passed through the trading market, Li Yuan looked at the bustling crowds and the dramatically changed commercial district, and said:
"This oil city has changed so much. Has the commercial district been expanded again?"

Old Luo, who was accompanying him, replied:
"There are now 435 shops in the commercial area, arranged in seven horizontal and seven vertical directions. It should be much larger than when you last came here, Director Li."

Li Yuan was slightly surprised when she heard the number of shops. There were less than two hundred shops in the entire camphor tree headquarters base.

This oil city has a large population, so the demand is indeed high.

The vehicle passed through two more gates before finally leaving the buffer zone.

From their vehicle, they could vaguely see the outer city walls in the distance, with transport vehicles coming and going, kicking up clouds of dust.

Although the city on the outskirts hasn't officially built roads yet, they previously used oil fields to turn the land below into asphalt flatlands.

but.

Due to the large number of vehicles running over it, coupled with the dump trucks transporting building materials, a lot of sand and gravel were shaken off, and over time the entire ground was covered with dust and stones.

After leaving the buffer zone, the vehicle headed towards the storage area to the west.

Before even reaching the designated temporary storage area, Li Yuan noticed that there were too many vehicles coming from there.

Too many scavengers need to go to the storage area to exchange for points.

"Jie Changshan, there's something wrong with the layout here," Li Yuan said, frowning as she looked at the entire storage area from inside the car.

Xie Changshan said helplessly:

“We have implemented the separation of pedestrians and vehicles, but we can’t handle the large number of people. Every day, the vehicles and pedestrians coming and going have to form very long queues.”

Li Yuan didn't respond for the time being. When they arrived at the storage area, Li Yuan was still shocked by the scene before her.

She was in charge of the logistics department and had seen countless supplies.

It's clear that even someone as knowledgeable as her was astonished by the scene before her!
In the storage area, which covers nearly 100 acres, supplies were piled up into small mountains.

The sheer amount of supplies was terrifying; it practically took over the entire area.

A massive mountain range where supplies are piled up!
This scene is somewhat similar to a large garbage dump before the apocalypse.

But what we see in front of us is not garbage!
.

Among the mountain of supplies and equipment, the several buildings that Jie Changshan had previously constructed were now filled with supplies.

In addition, they built temporary sheds for storage, as some supplies could not be exposed to the sun for extended periods.

But all the hundreds of tents were packed.

At the very front are hundreds of passages, which are material inspection stations. They need to inspect these materials before awarding points to the scavengers.

But behind the testing site, the inventory and sorting staff were so busy they were practically flying off.

There were too many supplies coming in, and their speed of counting and sorting was far from keeping up with the speed at which the supplies and equipment were flowing in.

Over time, the supplies piled up and formed small mountains.

Moreover, the mountain of supplies was about to completely surround the testing sites.

chaos.

The whole thing can only be described as "chaotic".

Li Yuan wanted to get out of the car to take a walk and check, but Qingyang held her back and wouldn't let her get out.

"There are too many people down there, and you're pregnant. What if someone pushes you over?!"

"It's okay, I'll just go check behind the testing site." Li Yuan patted his hand to reassure him.

Qingyang still held her hand tightly.

"No, those small hills of supplies behind us don't look safe either. What if they collapse?"

Li Yuan looked at Qingyang, who had a worried expression, and had no choice but to give up.

He addressed his subordinates behind him:

"Go in and take a closer look, and remember to take pictures for me."

Several of his men got out of the car.

They only realized this after getting off the bus and entering the testing station.

The small hills of supplies were very close together, which was indeed somewhat dangerous.

Moreover, it's even more chaotic inside than outside.

Li Yuan sat in the car and followed it around to inspect the perimeter, while also using a drone to view the entire movement route.

After looking at the whole picture, she roughly had an idea in mind.

Half an hour later, several of the men who went to check returned, reported the details inside, and took pictures of the problematic areas.

After looking at the photos, Li Yuan said to Lao Luo and Xie Changshan:

"All testing sites have been dismantled!"

"There are too many supplies here, so we must divide the area into four steps: testing equipment, counting, classifying, and organizing the supplies."

"Although there are zones now, the distance between zones is too close. We need to widen the distance between them."

"In this way, the testing sites will be placed in the southern part of the city, the inventory and classification will be done in the southwest, and the sorting and storage will still be done in the current area."

Only in this way can the diversion of traffic be effective.

Li Yuan stopped, took out a photo, and said:

"Also, there's a problem with the categorization. Although you're using an assembly line approach,..."

With years of experience in managing the logistics of the camphor tree, Li Yuan and her team quickly came up with a solution.

These plans were all developed based on their previous practical experience at headquarters.

Jie Changshan, Lao Luo, and others were amazed by these solutions.

Everyone applauded.

Looking at Li Yuan, who was speaking confidently and eloquently, Lao Luo had a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a feeling of mixed emotions, often including regret or admiration).

The city lord's younger sister has truly grown up.

It's become quite remarkable!
