Siheyuan: Domineering life

"Hello, Mr. Yang."

As the car passed by, many staff members greeted them.

Upon hearing this, Yang Jun felt a chill run down his spine and instinctively shrank his neck.

He was already well disguised, and it was his first visit after the shelter was built, so how did he still get recognized?
Seeing Yang Jun pull his mask up a bit, Yang Chengwu smiled sheepishly.

"Hehe, godfather, don't be so nervous, they're just greeting me." He then chuckled and added, "Don't forget that I also have the surname Yang."

"Whenever I hear someone call me Mr. Yang, I feel incredibly happy."

“From childhood to adulthood, I have always envied others for calling you Mr. Yang. Back then, I vowed that when I grew up, I would definitely become Mr. Yang.”

"Hehe, godfather, you're not angry, are you?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Jun rolled his eyes at him and said, "You've really made something of yourself, why should I, as your elder, be angry?"

"It's not too late for me to be happy."

“I knew Godfather wouldn’t be angry.” After a slight pause, Yang Chengwu continued, “Actually, there’s more than just me as Mr. Yang in our Yang family. Chengdao is also called Mr. Yang outside, as is Chengcai… In short, everyone in our Yang family who is male is called Mr. Yang.”

Upon hearing this, Yang Jun smiled, a smug look on his face.

After decades of hard work and development, their family has become one of the top families in this land, with a large number of members, each of whom has achieved considerable success.

For many years, Yang Jun has insisted on taking in godson and goddaughter, and he himself has been working to expand the Yang family line. In order to make the Yang family family bigger and bigger, decades have passed, and as expected, these younger generations are all pillars of the family.

"I wish everyone in our Yang family were Mr. Yang," Yang Jun said with a smile.

"Don't worry, Godfather, we juniors will continue to work hard and will never tarnish your reputation," Yang Chengwu assured him, patting his chest.

The two chatted as they drove around the shelter in a sightseeing vehicle.

The shelter was huge, with a pyramid-shaped structure that was narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. The first floor alone covered 50,000 square meters, and each subsequent floor increased in size. The tenth floor, where he was, covered a full 100,000 square meters.

This shelter took ten years to build, cost trillions of dollars, and involved nearly 500,000 people. It was an enormous undertaking, and it is still under construction.

The supporting facilities outside the shelter are still under construction, which will take about ten years. Yang Jun plans to turn this town into a big city, and his shelter will be hidden in the city.

It is inconspicuous and unassuming.

"Hello, Mr. Yang."

Along the way, people kept greeting Yang Chengwu.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, everyone."

As Yang Chengwu drove, he greeted them with a smile, his expression completely natural, as if he had long been accustomed to the role of 'Mr. Yang'.

The first floor wasn't anything special; it was mainly a reception area for outsiders and a transit point for supplies. Yang Jun didn't think there was anything worth visiting, so he sent Yang Chengwu to the second floor.

The second to fifth floors are living areas, and the layout is basically the same. The only difference is the size of the area that can accommodate the number of people seeking refuge.

Each floor is very large, and the layout here is no different from that of the town outside. The space is divided into hundreds of units of different sizes, similar to a city neighborhood. Each neighborhood has its own management space. The facilities here are complete. Everything that can be found outside can be found here, and even things that cannot be found outside can be found here.

Each residential area is strictly separated from the others, with a heavy metal gate separating each area, similar to the layout of a ship's watertight compartment, mainly to prevent potential security risks.

The shelters are mainly for sheltering and accommodating refugees, so the spatial layout is relatively compact, and they look like coffins.

Yang Jun looked around the living area and then went to the third floor.

The third floor is similar to the second floor, with a largely similar layout, except that it can accommodate more people.

Yang Jun went straight to the sixth floor before finishing the third floor tour. The fourth and fifth floors were mostly living areas, so he didn't visit them.

The sixth floor is the equipment area, which contains various equipment such as well pumps and power generation equipment. It mainly provides a place for the entire shelter to operate stably and continuously. This floor is crucial to the normal operation of the entire shelter, so Yang Jun focused on visiting it.

Yang Chengwu patiently introduced the various areas to him.

"This is the freshwater purification area."

Yang Chengwu pointed to the large well pump and explained, "This well pump is connected to an underground river, which can guarantee the water supply for the entire shelter. Even if the water is polluted, there's no need to worry, we have backups..."

Yang Chengwu pointed to a giant piece of equipment next to him and introduced it: "This is a water purification system, which can ensure that we can drink healthy water."

"And... air purification equipment."

Yang Chengwu introduced the various facilities while driving the sightseeing vehicle.

"This is the most strictly managed part of the entire shelter. Apart from a few experts who maintain the equipment, no one is allowed to enter."

Yang Jun listened and nodded repeatedly, secretly praising Yang Chengwu for becoming more and more mature.

This guy is no longer the clumsy young man he used to be. After so many years of training, he has developed a calm and steady personality. Yang Jun is very relieved to have such a large shelter project in his hands.

"Please take extra care in management; thank you for your hard work," said Yang Jun.

"Hey, godfather, this is my duty," Yang Chengwu said with a smile as he turned around.

The entire sixth floor was an equipment area, and it took Yang Jun and his son almost forty minutes to walk around it all.

Then they went to the seventh floor.

The seventh to ninth floors are the material storage area, which is also the key to ensuring the operation of the entire shelter.

Upon arriving at the seventh floor, Yang Jun and his son got out of the car, and under Yang Chengwu's operation, a supply warehouse was opened.

The so-called warehouse was actually a series of cold storage rooms, where the temperature was very low. Yang Jun and his companion had to wear thick coats to enter.

As soon as you enter, you feel a blast of cool air.

"It's so cold." Yang Jun couldn't help but shiver.

He wrapped his coat tighter around himself.

"Godfather, if it's not cold here, wouldn't the stored supplies not last long?" Yang Chengwu chuckled.

This cold storage mainly stores vegetables and fruits, which are also the most perishable items, so Yang Jun made a special trip to visit it.

"How long can these vegetables and fruits be stored?" Yang Jun asked, his face grave, voicing his most pressing concern.

Upon hearing this, Yang Chengwu laughed and said, "Godfather, I can't give you a one-size-fits-all answer to this question, because different fruits and vegetables have different storage temperatures and dates."

"For example, stem vegetables such as carrots and potatoes can be stored for 2 to 4 months at 0-4 degrees Celsius."

“洋葱大蒜在零度左右可存储8到九个月。”    “叶菜类蔬菜，比如菠菜、生菜、芹菜刻在0-2度喜爱存储7-10天，零度左右可存储1到三个月。”

"Other vegetables, such as cucumbers and tomatoes, can be stored for about two months in an environment of 7-13 degrees Celsius."

"Beans need to be stored at 7-13 degrees Celsius and can be stored for about two months."

"..."

Yang Chengwu is very familiar with the storage of vegetables and fruits, and it seems that he has indeed put his heart into it.

Yang Jun listened with a grave expression.

Although he didn't understand these things, he knew that the storage time under these circumstances was far less than he expected. If these vegetables and fruits could only be stored for a few months, how could he ensure that the entire shelter could continue to operate effectively?
Yang Chengwu seemed to see Yang Jun's worries, so he smiled and said, "Godfather, don't worry about not having enough vegetables and fruits. We also have a complete planting system."

"The eighth floor is the vegetable and fruit cultivation base, which has the world's most advanced cultivation technology and experts, and can guarantee the material survival of all personnel in the entire shelter."

Yang Jun listened and looked up at him.

"You mean we'll be able to get fresh vegetables and fruits in the shelters from now on?"

"of course."

After saying that, Yang Chengwu quickly added, "However, the fruits and vegetables grown here will definitely not be as fresh as those outside, since they do not have photosynthesis. But don't worry, although these fruits and vegetables are not as fresh and nutritious as those outside, they can definitely supply the entire base."

Yang Jun's expression turned grave upon hearing this, but he did not say anything.

Under extreme conditions, don't even think about quality of life; just surviving is already a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

However, he wasn't worried about these things, since he was a person with the replication system and had endless resources in his space, which could ensure that the entire shelter could continue to operate.

Of course, this is his biggest secret, and he won't reveal it easily.

Since it's a shelter, it naturally relies on readily available resources to survive. Only when there's absolutely no other way will it utilize its spatial abilities.

"Godfather, let me show you around the vegetable and fruit cultivation base."

Afterwards, the two of them went to the eighth floor.

Like the seventh floor, the eighth floor is divided into countless units, each of which cultivates different vegetables and fruits. These vegetables and fruits require different temperature and humidity environments, so they can only be cultivated separately.

Yang Jun visited several units, each with dedicated experts and staff meticulously attending to and maintaining their work. They worked diligently and meticulously.

Yang Jun looked up and saw a lush green expanse everywhere.

Since ancient times, green has represented hope. Seeing the lush greenery, Yang Jun felt very at ease. This is hope, the hope of surviving in the future.

He then visited several other units before heading to the ninth floor.

The ninth floor is the supplies storage area, where various supplies are stored, such as Lao Gan Ma chili sauce, compressed biscuits, salt, canned goods, dry rations, rice, wheat, corn, etc.

There are also all sorts of daily necessities, such as rice cookers, rice cookers, washbasins, towels, clothes, toothbrushes, soap, and so on.

In the innermost unit, Yang Jun also saw a large library. Calling it a library is an understatement; it's more like an exhibition hall. It houses the culmination of thousands of years of human civilization in China. Like an encyclopedia, it contains various technologies and experiences, preserving the last vestiges of human civilization.

Then, Yang Jun went to the tenth floor.

This is the deepest and largest floor of the entire shelter, and it is exclusively for the use of Yang Jun and his family.

Upon seeing the layout of the tenth floor, Yang Jun's eyelids twitched, and he looked like he was constipated.

The look in his eyes as he looked at Yang Chengwu now held a hint of resentment.

Upon seeing this, Yang Chengwu quickly explained, "Godfather, I built this layout strictly according to the Peng Garden layout, so that you can feel at home as soon as you move in."

Yang Jun rolled his eyes after hearing this.

"Pengyuan Garden has this layout, the houses on the ground have this layout, even the shelter has this layout. Don't you have any originality at all?"

"Here……"

Before Yang Chengwu could explain, Yang Jun interrupted him, saying, "I've noticed you like to slack off. Did you just copy the previous construction blueprints directly?"

"Don't you know that people experience visual fatigue?"

Yang Jun was furious. He had lived in Pengyuan, Yanjing, for decades and was already visually and aesthetically fatigued. He thought he could have a change of scenery here, but he didn't expect that this guy would build it according to the layout of Pengyuan. He had wanted to say something about it when he was up there, but he didn't expect that the shelter would be laid out like this again.

He really wanted to punch that brat.

Seeing that Yang Jun was really angry, Yang Chengwu quickly smiled and said, "If Godfather doesn't like it, we can change our accommodation. There are hundreds of courtyards of all sizes here, there's bound to be one you like."

Upon hearing this, Yang Jun's expression softened.

He pointed at him and said, "I really want to slap you, kid."

"Hehe, it's only natural for a father to beat his son. If my godfather isn't satisfied, it's okay to give me a few slaps," Yang Chengwu chuckled.

"You think I wouldn't have the heart to hit you?" Yang Jun raised his hand to slap him.

Upon seeing this, Yang Chengwu quickly dodged away.

Of course, Yang Jun was just bluffing him; he wouldn't actually hit him for it.

"Godfather, this is where you live. You should take a good look around."

Yang Jun nodded and said, "It's worth taking a good look around."

After a slight pause, he said, "However, there are too many houses here; I can't possibly stay in them all."

"You can move in with us then."

Yang Jun thought that this place covered an area of ​​about 100,000 square meters, with nearly a hundred courtyards of various sizes, which could accommodate about 10,000 people. He didn't want to waste it like this. His family certainly couldn't accommodate that many people. He thought it would be best to arrange people who were close to him and those he trusted the most on this floor.

Upon hearing this, Yang Chengwu's face flashed with a strange expression, but he quickly nodded and said.

"Thank you godfather."

To be honest, Yang Chengwu was very moved. He was grateful to Yang Jun for letting him stay here, because this was the safest place in the entire shelter. Even if everything above was destroyed, this floor could still survive.

Of course, this floor has a separate equipment area and material storage area, which can operate independently, but more importantly, it has Yang Jun himself.

Over the years, he had come to know, to some extent, that Yang Jun possessed a mysterious quality that set him apart from others. As long as he followed his godfather, he would never have to worry about food or drink, and his whole family could live comfortably. (End of Chapter)
