Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Chapter 2168 Is advancing four levels in one year too fast?
Shan Zimo's time with his family was extremely short.

Two and a half hours later, Xiao Liu picked him up and took him to the logistics distribution center in the outskirts of the city.

He's considered lucky; at least he can use the green channel and has Xiao Liu's private car to pick him up and drop him off.

For some workers who have settled in oil cities, the time they spend with their families is only about half an hour.

2 p.m.

The second transport convoy, carrying the workers, set off for the Northwest base on time.

In addition to the workers, a considerable amount of track construction equipment was also taken away with the convoy.

The railway tracks in the Northwest were repaired and reinforced based on the pre-apocalyptic K570 railway tracks.

Even if you drive non-stop without eating or drinking, it would still take more than 20 hours to get from Xinyang to the Yumen oilfield base in the heart of Northwest China before the apocalypse.

Once the K570 is repaired and reinforced, it will only take 17 hours to reach its destination.

However, the project is also enormous. This track is 2,000 kilometers long, and it requires even more effort and materials than the two tracks built before.

However, there are four sub-bases in the Northwest, which can break down the construction targets and complete them step by step.

On the way, Shan Zimo kept looking at the K570 track map.

He kept thinking about how to complete the construction of the Northwest-Oil City rail line as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Because, as things stand, they have plenty of repair equipment.

And the number of repair workers has also reached its peak.

The two railway construction teams were merged into one, which involved nearly 40,000 people.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up as he looked at the withered tree outside the window.

He turned to Zhu Xiao and asked, "Captain Zhu, have you been busy with your transport missions lately?"

Zhu Xiao shook her head and said:
"It's much better than before."

"The flow of materials from the oil city to the headquarters base is the most arduous, but since the opening of the Dashi Line, the transportation of materials and personnel can be basically solved."

"Now that the Shidong Line is open, the transportation pressure has been reduced by 60%!"

After listening, Shan Zimo nodded excitedly and said:
"Captain Zhu, I have an idea."

After a seven-hour drive, Shan Zimo finally arrived at the construction site of the railway line currently under repair on the Northwest-Oil City line.

Currently, this railway line has been built up to Zhengzhou, and it hasn't even left Henan Province yet.

Upon arriving here, Shan Zimo immediately contacted Gao Xu, the person in charge of the current track repair project.

Gao Xu was extremely excited after seeing Shan Zimo:
"Shandong University of Technology, we've been waiting for you for so long, and you've finally arrived!"

Gao Xu held Shan Zimo's hand tightly, so excited he was almost crying.

There was no other way; he was forced into the role of overseeing the track repair of the Northwest-Oil City railway.

Although he had experience building railways before the apocalypse, he had no experience leading an entire team as a deputy.

Moreover, the Northwest-Oil City railway line is the most complex in terms of terrain, length, and difficulty among the four railway lines in the Dazhangshu area.

The requirements for railway tracks repaired in the post-apocalyptic world are not quite the same as those before the apocalypse.

We need to take into account situations such as zombie attacks.

Also.

Huang Guangyuan from the Northwest-Oil City line and Luo Sanchang, the head of the Northwest base, have been putting pressure on him.

So he has been very anxious during this period.

at this time.

Shan Zimo, the bigwig who organized the construction of two rail transit lines, has finally arrived.

The burden on his shoulders suddenly lightened by more than half.

Shan Zimo was somewhat surprised by his enthusiasm, but he knew that the construction of this railway was also extremely important.

So he got straight to the point and asked directly:
"Senior Engineer, could you briefly describe the problems we're currently facing?"

Upon hearing this question, Gao Xu quickly replied:

"There are too many problems."

"1. There are too few skilled track workers, and many workers need to be trained temporarily, which is too time-consuming."

2. There is insufficient coordination between the various projects, resulting in deviations from the established plans after implementation.

"

Gao Xu raised a whole host of questions, and Shan Zimo took notes.

After taking a deep breath, he said:
"I roughly understand your problem. Let me tell you what to do next."

"This time we adopted a phased construction approach because more than 10,000 workers will be coming later. A single construction site cannot accommodate so many people, and it would be a waste to have so many people piled together."

"From now on, you will continue to build and reinforce the tracks, but your goal is to build them all the way to Mount Hua."

You will be responsible for the route from Zhengzhou to Huashan.

I will send people over to help you with the skilled workers you lack.

You'll need to sort out the project coordination issues yourself. Anyone who doesn't understand instructions or isn't effective should be dismissed. I'll fill the gaps with replacements; we don't have that much time to train people right now. Those who are capable should be promoted, and those who aren't should be removed to do the most basic tasks!

Gao Xu's eyes lit up when he heard that he only needed to be in charge of the section from Zhengzhou to Huashan.

The distance from the oil city to Yumen is a full 2,100 kilometers.

They've been working on it for a month and a half, and they've only completed 300 kilometers.

The time pressure was already immense, and the distant finish line gave him a feeling of being out of reach.

Now he only needs to be responsible for the journey from Zhengzhou to Huashan, which is only a little over 300 kilometers.

The pressure decreased by 80% immediately.

It's easy!

Gao Xu swallowed hard, his eyes gleaming as he said:

"Really? Shandong University of Technology, what are your plans for the other sections?"

Shan Zimo nodded and replied:

"Don't worry about that, I will arrange for someone to be in charge of the other sections of the road."

"The second section is from Huashan to Baoji, the third section is from Baoji to Wuyuan Mountain, and the fourth section is from Wuyuan Mountain to Zhangye."

"And you are responsible for the first section, from Zhengzhou to Huashan."

Gao Xu nodded vigorously, praising:
"Great! That's wonderful!"

"Dividing the entire route into multiple sections not only makes full use of manpower but also avoids redundancy in personnel."
It can also create competition and accelerate the process.
Moreover, everyone can see with their naked eyes that the target is getting closer and closer!

Shan Zimo ordered his men to bring out the map, and then summoned Wei Cheng, Lü Song, and Lu Jingci together.

These three subordinates were people he promoted when he was in charge of the Dashi Line and Shidong Line.

These three people are all quite capable; the zoning construction plan he mentioned requires four people in charge.
With Gao Xu included, there were four of them.

He, on the other hand, could travel back and forth between the four construction sites to inspect and give instructions.

In this way, he can oversee four construction sites at once, which greatly improves his efficiency.

This method was brought to him by Ju Tianrui.

When Ju Tianrui was in charge of the Northwest Base, he took a multi-pronged approach, keeping abreast of the situation at all four bases in the Northwest and encouraging competition.

That's why the four bases in the Northwest were able to be built at an extremely fast pace amidst the ruins after the war, and quickly began to produce supplies.

When they were on the Shidong Line, Ju Tianrui had reminded Shan Zimo to use this plan.

Shan Zimo then decisively adopted the suggestion, which is why the Shidong Line was able to be built in just three months.

After Wei Cheng, Lü Song, and Lu Jingci entered, Shan Zimo gave them a brief introduction of Gao Xu.

"Now, I will begin assigning tasks."

"Gao Xu, your construction team will be retained and will be responsible for the repair and reinforcement of the section of track from Zhengzhou to Huashan."

"Wei Cheng, the First Railway Construction Team you lead is responsible for the section from Huashan to Baoji."

Lü Song, you lead the Second Railway Construction Brigade, responsible for the section from Baoji to Wuyuan Mountain in Lanzhou. Lu Jingci, you lead the Third Railway Construction Brigade, responsible for the section from Wuyuan Mountain to Zhangye.

If there's anything you're missing, or anyone you're missing, just tell me directly.

The sea fog has already reached Taiwan and will make landfall along the coast in about a month. Headquarters has ordered both of our construction teams to complete the work as quickly as possible!

"I'll give you a month and a half. Can you complete the task?"

After hearing this, Wei Cheng and the other two were filled with disbelief.

According to Shan Zimo's plan, the repair work on nearly 1200 kilometers of train tracks would be completed in a month and a half.

Gao Xu was alright, after all, he had already overheard Shan Zimo's entire plan.

Lu Jingci, who was in charge of the section from Wuyuan Mountain to Zhangye, had the most difficult time. The terrain of the section he was responsible for was extremely complex, making construction very difficult.

"Brother Shan, a month and a half might not be enough. Just transporting the equipment sleepers alone would be a problem."

Shan Zimo said with a smile:

"On the way here, I received orders that the Second Transportation Brigade would provide full assistance with transportation issues throughout the upcoming repair project!"

“When we were building it before, we spent most of our time transporting equipment and other things. Now that we have the support of an entire transportation team, don’t you have any confidence?”

Upon hearing these words, Lu Jingci's pupils contracted slightly.

This level of support is simply tremendous!

You should know that the Second Transport Brigade has over a thousand trucks.

With the addition of their existing dedicated transport trucks, their transport capacity has more than doubled.

“Then, I’m all set!” Lu Jingci replied.

The others also said they had no problem.

When Shan Zimo saw that they had all agreed, he looked satisfied. He had decided on this bold idea while on the way.

He reported this idea to Director Ding, who then contacted other senior executives at headquarters.

Li Hongda, the president of the headquarters, personally contacted him and promised to give him the highest authority and support.

Although he has not yet officially started construction work, he currently has 18,000 people under his command from the original Northwest-Oil City Rail Construction Team, as well as more than 20,000 workers he originally led.

There are 40,000 people here, a huge railway track construction team.

There is also the transportation capacity support from the Second Transportation Brigade.

The headquarters provided him with professional construction equipment, power support, and personnel support.

Shan Zimo waved his hand and said:

"Let's work together to make a detailed plan now."

Tomorrow, Wei Cheng, you should take your First Track Brigade to your assigned area and begin operations.

"Lü Song and Lu Jingci, you should wait until the workers arrive before setting off together."

"Yes."

"Yes."

"clear."

Headquarters base.

Second Uncle Li Hongda placed the printed contents of the telegram in front of Li Yu.

"What a talent! What a real talent! This Shan Zimo is a damn genius!"

Inside the commander's office, Li Yu smiled after looking at the contents of the telegram:
"This Shan Ziming is indeed a talented person. Judging from his previous work style, he probably wouldn't exaggerate. We gave him the full support of the Second Transportation Brigade, and he actually agreed to build the line from Zhengzhou to Zhangye in just one and a half months."

"At this rate, could the entire line be completed in just two months?"

My second uncle took a sip of tea, his eyes practically overflowing with laughter, and said:

"Based on this calculation, the Sea Fog Disaster has currently reached Treasure Island and will arrive at the headquarters base in two months."
"That means all four of our train tracks are now connected!"

Li Yu and the others actually had a concern.

That is, after the zombies land on land, will they run around aimlessly?

If they start running around randomly, their previously established schedules will be completely disrupted.

Although, based on the judges' year-long surveillance, the zombies spread and expanded their boundaries along with the sea fog.

But they were afraid of what might happen!

In one month, the zombies will be able to land on the coast.

In contrast, the defense preparations at the headquarters base:
The headquarters' defense system was completed two months ago and has undergone multiple tests, including two live-fire drills.

At Oriental Paradise, the walls, train tracks, and other structures have been completed, and the last remaining fortress will be finished within a week.

The oil city is only missing one last defensive fortress, which should be completed in half a month.

The situation in the North is a little slower; the city fortresses will take another month, and the rail transport will take an even longer two months.

The city fortress had been in place for about a month.

This is the rail transit connecting this oil city to the North.
Thinking about this, Li Yu's impression of Zhang Yunxiang worsened even further.

"Second Uncle, Zhang Yunxiang told Uncle Ding last time that it would take another two months, which is really too slow!"

Upon hearing Zhang Yunxiang's name, Li Hongda's face also darkened.
"This person held such a high position and had a whole bunch of titles before the apocalypse, but he didn't even do half of what Shan Zimo did!"

"Xiaoyu, how about we remove Zhang Yunxiang from the list?"

After pondering for a moment, Li Yu said:

"Zhang Yunxiang has been in charge of the Shibei Line for four months now, so he must know this rail line best."

Moreover, he has been leading that group of workers for a long time, and I'm afraid that changing him at the last minute would backfire.

I'm thinking of sending the inspection department to supervise the construction, and also having Uncle Ding go and give him a talking-to."

"If he continues at this half-dead pace for the next week, then we'll replace him!"

In Li Yu's view, stability is more important than anything else.

He didn't want to cause too many complications, provided that the project could be completed smoothly.

After listening to Li Yu's words, Second Uncle nodded and said:
"Okay, we'll do it your way."

"But then again, Shan Zimo really gave us a huge surprise."

"Thanks to him, we were able to complete the restoration and repair of our four rail transit lines a full six months ahead of schedule!"

"It's just that he's too inexperienced. He's only been with our camphor tree for a year. Otherwise, we could have given him the status of a level two staff member."

He sensed his second uncle's affection and appreciation for Shan Ziming, and he was pleased that Shan Ziming had been promoted to level two so quickly.

There are some risks.

Their investigation into Shan Zimo was not comprehensive enough.

The promotion not only brings increased benefits and treatment, but also grants the person a lot of power.

Especially positions at the level of real power and leadership.

Once the Northwest-Oil City line is completed, it will be upgraded to Level II from the original Level III.

That Shan Zimo will become the fastest person to level up in the history of the Great Camphor Tree.

In one year, I was promoted from Level 6 to Level 2.

this.
too fast.

After pondering for a moment, Li Yu said:

"Level 2 is too fast. Achieving a three-level leap in a year is already fast enough. Give him six months to settle down. If his performance is still the same after six months, then we will promote him to Level 2 without any exceptions."

Uncle smacked his lips and nodded in agreement.

"Yes. I think your plan is feasible."

It's quite an amazing feat to advance from Level 6 to Level 2 in just one and a half years!
In summary, it takes an average of at least four to five years for people in the construction department to be promoted from level six to level two.

For someone in the military department to climb from level six to level two, it would take at least six years.
He's only been here for a little over a year, tsk tsk tsk.
