Rebirth of the Legend of the Red Age

Chapter 139, Secret Warehouse, Copper

There is only one new thing added to the third courtyard...heating.
Last winter, the weather was too cold to install heating equipment. Shortly after the beginning of spring this year, Wang Li installed heating in the second and third courtyards.

The reason why the first courtyard is not heated is that there are too many houses in the first courtyard, and the existing boiler cannot heat such a large area of ​​houses.

Speaking of the heating boiler, it is a second-hand boiler purchased through a channel provided by Zhang Lei. After all, their department is involved in many construction projects and they are more familiar with things related to these buildings.

Although the boiler is not big and is an old model, it is sufficient for current use.

Wang Li currently only adds heating equipment to the rooms where the elderly and children live, while the other rooms still use stoves.

When talking about heating equipment, we have to mention another thing, which is directly related to whether Wang Li's family can use heating.

According to Wang Li’s requirements, there is currently no suitable heating equipment that can be connected to Wang’s house, either in terms of quality or appearance, which made Wang Li very worried for a while.

This matter was resolved after meeting Zhao Qiang. When Zhao Qiang visited Wang's house one time, he accidentally heard about Wang Li's difficulties and he communicated with Wang Li.

After learning about Wang Li's requirements, he asked: If there is enough copper, can we find someone to make copper heating equipment? Copper is not easy to rust, and its thermal conductivity is better than iron.

(Copper is an excellent metal with excellent electrical and thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance. Copper can be used to produce various corrosion-resistant materials, such as copper pipes, copper alloys, etc. Copper will form a dense oxide layer after oxidation or other treatments. This oxide layer can not only prevent copper from corrosion, but also beautify the surface.)
After hearing Zhao Qiang's question, Wang Li was slightly stunned and then realized that Zhao Qiang should have a way to solve this problem.

So he nodded immediately and said: Yes, as long as there is enough copper, this problem can be solved. Then I just need to find a metal processing factory to make the copper into the shape I want. Do you have any idea?

Zhao Qiang nodded slightly and said: My method may not work for others, but it should be a solution for you.

This story starts from the first time we met. Do you remember that I was lost in the forest, encountered a tiger, and was rescued by you and your father?
Wang Li nodded.

Zhao Qiang continued: I stole a secret warehouse blueprint of the White Party. This secret warehouse blueprint showed a lot of supplies that the White Party had reserved for the counterattack in Kyoto.

After the Red Party recaptured Kyoto, most of these supplies had been found.

But I remember there was another secret warehouse that has not been found yet. If I remember correctly, it should be a secret warehouse for copper.

You also know that the material used to make bullets is brass, so copper is also considered a military material.

After the founding of the country, the relevant departments in Kyoto also looked for the copper warehouse, but the warehouse was built inside the mountain. Although there is a map, it has not been found until now, so I said this might be a solution.

I will tell you the location of the warehouse. Go look for it in the mountains. If you find it, come back and tell me. I will report to the higher-ups. I believe that with your contribution, it will be no problem to get some copper ingots.

Wang Li was very happy when he heard the news, because of both his skills as a hunter and his strong sensing ability.

They are all very suitable for finding secret warehouses in the mountains. As long as the warehouse is still there and he is given an approximate range, he will be able to quickly find the location of the warehouse. Therefore, Wang Li nodded and agreed to let Zhao Qiang go to the mountains.

After Zhao Qiang told Wang Li the address of the warehouse, he explained to Wang Li: After all, it is the country's property. You can go and look for it first. I still need to report it to my higher-ups.

Finding a warehouse is a good thing in itself. If you don’t report it and others find out, it will be troublesome. I hope you understand.

Wang Li laughed and said: "How can I not believe you?" By the way, even if we find it, we will still follow the old method and say that Zhao Gang and I went hunting in the mountains and found the clue together, and then Zhao Gang found it himself.

Zhao Qiang and Zhao Gang both smiled knowingly and nodded in agreement.

In this way, Wang Li went into the mountains and searched for a day, and successfully found the warehouse where the copper blocks were stored.

In fact, the warehouse is easy to find, it is just below a hillside. The reason why people before didn't find it was because there was a landslide at some point, and the entrance to the warehouse was blocked by several huge rocks that rolled down from the mountain.

The people who came to look for it were unable to move the boulder and did not find the entrance to the warehouse.

But this was very easy for Wang Li. He only used a crowbar to move the boulders from their original positions, revealing the entrance to the warehouse.

Wang Li opened the warehouse door and walked in. He saw brick-sized copper blocks piled up in the warehouse. He couldn't estimate how many tons of copper there were.

I thought: This warehouse should not be left by the White Party. This should be a small book looted during the occupation of Longguo. Otherwise, if it was stored by the White Party, they would not have left it behind when they retreated.

After all, such a large amount of copper, although not as valuable as gold, is also worth a lot of money.

There was no need for Wang Li to be polite at this point. He simply filled his storage space with copper blocks, blocked the cave entrance with boulders, and returned to Kyoto.

He first went back home and put the nearly 5 cubic meters of copper in the storage space into the second underground floor of the third courtyard.

He rushed to the Municipal Patrol Bureau and found Zhao Qiang to explain the situation. Zhao Qiang clapped his hands and said: I knew you could do it. I will report to the higher-ups right away, and then I will try to get you some coppers as a reward in the name of providing clues.

Wang Li did not say that he no longer needed copper because he could not explain how he brought so much copper out of the mountains.

Therefore, he could only say: Okay, then I will go home and wait for your news.

After saying that, he left the Municipal Patrol Bureau.
