Under normal circumstances, the electricity generated by solar power is sufficient to meet the building's electricity needs.

However, to prevent accidents, Li Mu also equipped the twelfth floor with five large diesel generator sets to deal with possible emergencies in the future.

It just so happens that the seven or eight sets of power storage systems, plus the cooling system, occupy more than a thousand square meters of space; the five sets of large diesel generators also occupy several hundred square meters of space.

In addition to the transformer, the building's power control system, though somewhat cramped, occupies an entire floor.

In addition, in order to store meat and keep frozen food fresh in the future, Li Mu built a cold storage room of over 1,000 square meters on the eleventh floor, and in the remaining area, he also set aside an area of ​​over 1,000 square meters to build a large cold storage room.

In the future, meat, fish, and other items requiring long-term preservation will be stored in cold storage. Vegetables, fruits, and other fresh produce, including meat and fish, that require short-term preservation will be stored in cold storage.

On the other hand, considering the high temperatures expected in the future, both buildings and photovoltaic solar panels will inevitably enter a high-temperature state after being exposed to the scorching sun.

When the temperature gets too high, it not only damages photovoltaic solar energy, but also affects the interior of the Muwu Building, even with insulation.

In response, Li Mu plans to cool the photovoltaic solar panels and the building directly from the outside.

It sounds complicated, but it's actually quite simple. It involves installing a batch of automatic sprinkler systems, such as a photovoltaic system covering 3,000 square meters on the rooftop.

A series of automatic sprinkler systems could also be installed on the walls of the building. For example, an automatic sprinkler system could be installed every five floors around the exterior wall of the building.

The amount of water sprayed doesn't need to be too large; a light drizzle will suffice. However, it would be ideal to spray water continuously from the rooftop to all the exterior walls of the building for 24 hours a day to cool it down.

Even in the event of high temperatures in the future, the heat will be carried away by the sprayed water as steam, ensuring that both the photovoltaic panels and the building walls maintain a reasonable temperature.

Chapter 466 Buy, buy, buy

The construction of the Muwu Building survival base is in full swing. With so many floors and so much spare space, it would be a waste not to stock up on some supplies.

Li Mu has once again launched a large-scale procurement campaign.

However, he no longer needs to do things personally; all procurement is now handled through Muwu Company.

In a post-apocalyptic world of extreme heat, it's uncertain whether food can still be grown and produced. If not, every grain used will become a precious resource.

Especially in the future, if torrential rains strike, most areas will be flooded, and much of the food will inevitably be soaked in water, which would be a huge waste.

It would be better if he bought it and stored it upstairs; every little bit saved is a bonus. Even if they can't finish it all in the future, some of it can save many lives.

That day, accompanied by a group of people, Li Mu began to visit the largest warehousing and logistics base in Yun City.

Deputy Director Liu of the warehousing and logistics base said, "President Li, please take a look. This is one of the largest warehousing and logistics bases in the province, and also the largest warehousing and logistics base in our Yun City. It covers a total area of ​​over 3,000 mu, with more than 30 logistics companies and over 200 companies having built warehousing centers here."

Li Mu nodded: "That's really good, Director Liu. Our company wants to lease a batch of warehouses to set up a warehousing center."

Director Liu laughed and said, "No problem, we have plenty of warehouses here. Many companies rent warehouses from us as warehousing centers."

He then extended his hand and said, "Mr. Li, please, I'll take you over there."

Li Mu said, "This is troublesome."

A few minutes later, Director Liu pointed to the rows of warehouses that were over ten meters high and said, "President Li, please look, these are all..."

As she spoke, she pointed out a few: "Besides these few, the rest are all empty! We can accommodate as many warehouses as you want to rent."

Li Mu chuckled softly: "That's good."

A few hours later, the two parties officially signed a lease agreement. Li Mu rented a total of seven large warehouses here, covering a total area of ​​30,000 square meters.

Under Director Liu's overjoyed gaze, Li Mu, accompanied by two senior executives of the company, left the logistics park.

After that, he didn't rest, and went to all the warehouses within a seven-kilometer radius of the Muwu Building that were rented out.

In the end, he acquired more than twenty more warehouses.

Doing this seems a bit redundant, since there are plenty of empty warehouses in the logistics park! Li Mu is also diversifying his risks; no one can predict the future, so it's best not to put all your eggs in one basket.

With the warehouse secured, the procurement process officially began.

First, there's the staple food. Li Mu spent 600 million yuan to order 100,000 tons of vacuum-packed rice. He originally wanted to buy dehydrated rice, which has a longer shelf life.

Unfortunately, small-batch purchases are fine, but larger quantities are simply unavailable, let alone 100,000 tons. To extend shelf life and prepare for future high temperatures and floods, the rice has to be vacuum-packed.

Li Mu spent 100 million yuan to order 30,000 tons of wheat, and also ordered several sets of flour milling machines to process the wheat.

They ordered 10,000 tons of soybeans, which can be used to make soy milk in the future. Li Mu also ordered several sets of tofu-making machines, so that soybeans can be used to make tofu and tofu pudding, as well as sprout soybeans.

Li Mu also ordered 10,000 tons of mung beans. Mung beans can be boiled into soup, which has the effect of relieving summer heat and cooling down, or they can be sprouted and eaten.

In addition, we also ordered a lot of various grains and cereals.

Barley, 5,000 tons; oats, also 5,000 tons; lotus seeds, 1,000 tons; lilies, 500 tons; dried dates, 2,000 tons; sesame seeds, 1,000 tons; peanuts, 10,000 tons; corn, 10,000 tons; chestnuts, 3,000 tons…

……

There are also canned goods, including canned meat, canned vegetables, and canned fruit.

Among them, there are more than 30,000 tons of canned meat of various flavors and types; 50,000 tons of canned fruit of various flavors and types; and 20,000 tons of canned vegetables.

A total of 100,000 tons of canned goods were purchased.

In addition, there are some meats with a longer shelf life, such as smoked meat, cured meat, and ham. Although the supply was limited at the time, we still ordered 3,000 tons.

Five thousand tons of vacuum-packed vegetables were also ordered. Although the construction of greenhouse vegetable cultivation bases has begun, who knows if something unexpected might happen? Even without any accidents, so many vacuum-packed vegetables would be extremely precious food in a post-apocalyptic world with high temperatures.

……

In addition to staple grains, Li Mu also purchased a considerable amount of non-staple grains.

First, there's sugar. Although modern society generally dislikes sugar—we drink coffee, we drink sugar-free coffee; we drink beverages, we drink sugar-free beverages…

However, in times of scarcity, sugar was a life-saving resource, and its importance was self-evident.

Li Mu placed an order for 20,000 tons of sugar at once. He mainly placed these orders with companies in coastal areas or overseas enterprises.

The reason is simple: when sea levels rise in the future, coastal areas will be almost inevitably affected, and storing supplies there will be a waste. It's better to buy them in advance. The same applies to other countries. When a heatwave-induced apocalypse occurs, it will be difficult to procure such essential supplies from abroad. By purchasing more from overseas now, we can strengthen our domestic reserves.

Through various channels, 5,000 tons of salt were also ordered; as for tobacco and alcohol, Li Mu wasn't a fan of tobacco, so he only ordered a few dozen cases through other channels.

As for alcohol, there are fewer concerns, especially since baijiu usually doesn't have an expiration date; the longer it's stored, the better it tastes.

Li Mu indicated that he purchased two to three thousand cases of high-end liquors such as Moutai and Wuliangye, but did not keep too many in stock.

The purchases are mostly of common baijiu brands such as Niulanshan, Laobaigan, Gujinggongjiu, Luzhou Laojiao, Fenjiu, Dukang, and Jiannanchun.

In the future, with grains becoming more precious and liquor even more so, the difference between Moutai and Erguotou will be minimal. While one bottle of Moutai may be worth more than ten bottles of Erguotou, in the future, you simply won't be able to exchange one bottle of Moutai for ten bottles of Erguotou.

Therefore, when purchasing baijiu, he cares more about quantity than about so-called national liquor brands.

There's also wine, which I've stocked up on quite a bit of as well.

A small portion consisted of famous foreign wines, while the majority were inexpensive domestic red wines, such as domestic red wines costing tens or hundreds of yuan per case. Li Mu ordered over a million cases at once.

It looks like a lot, but it's less than 100 million.

Moreover, like white wine, red wine has no expiration date; the longer it's stored, the better. With the arrival of a high-temperature apocalypse, it's uncertain whether red wine will still be produced.

In the future, red wine that will not spoil will be a very rare commodity.

Next up is the tea.

Li Mu first spent over ten million yuan to stockpile a batch of high-end tea leaves. The rest were tea bricks. Compared to fresh tea leaves, tea bricks have a longer shelf life, are easier to store, and are more durable for long-term consumption.

So Li Mu ordered a thousand tons of tea bricks in one go, enough to last forever.

There were also some non-staple foods, such as candy, pastries, and biscuits... Li Mu also purchased 5,000 tons of these. Since he couldn't eat them all anyway, he stored them up as a way to help the coastal areas save supplies.

Some dairy products, such as pure milk, yogurt, and soy milk, were also ordered in quantities of one thousand tons. Although the shelf life is a bit short, we can consider it a good deed and distribute some of them before they expire.

There's also honey. Li Mu specifically contacted several large beekeeping farms and ordered several hundred tons of honey. This is also a good product. He doesn't know if the bees will die from the heat and stop producing honey in the future.

……

Li Mu also ordered a lot of various drinks.

100,000 cases of Sprite, 100,000 cases of Coke, 50,000 cases of Fanta, 50,000 cases of green tea, 50,000 cases of black tea, 30,000 cases of Red Bull, 30,000 cases of Wanglaoji herbal tea…

Because there is groundwater available, there's no fear of water outages, so bottled water wasn't purchased this time. Li Mu only ordered 300,000 cases of mineral water as a backup and daily consumable.

……

In terms of medicines, Li Mu made a larger and more comprehensive purchase this time.

Various first aid kits, anti-inflammatory drugs, antipyretics, antibiotics, antiparasitic drugs, antiviral drugs, topical medications, bandages, cooling balm, Huoxiang Zhengqi (a traditional Chinese medicine), and a large number of commonly used medical devices.

These drugs and equipment together cost nearly 100 million yuan.

In terms of electricity, Li Mu relies on photovoltaic solar panels and diesel generator sets.

To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, Li Mu purchased a large batch of photovoltaic solar panels separately, so that any broken parts could be replaced at any time, or new photovoltaic solar panels could be assembled at any time.

A batch of diesel generators was also purchased as backups.

In terms of energy, there are three main sources of consumption: diesel generators, which require a large amount of diesel fuel; Li Mu's car and other vehicles, which require a large amount of spare gasoline; and natural gas for cooking.

Procurement of diesel fuel is not a problem. Compared to gasoline, diesel fuel is non-volatile, has a higher flash point, is less likely to be accidentally ignited or explode, and is more stable and safer than gasoline.

Therefore, the procurement of diesel fuel is relatively simple and the supervision is quite lenient. As long as it is handled properly, it is difficult to attract attention.

Li Mu purchased 10,000 tons of diesel fuel in one go through various channels. All of them were in large diesel drums as tall as a person, which were then stored in some special warehouses.

We will assess the situation and, if this amount of diesel is insufficient, we will procure another batch.

This is also why he purchased a diesel generator: firstly, most civilian generators are currently diesel-powered, and secondly, diesel is easier to purchase and is not subject to the same level of regulation as gasoline.

However, for the sake of future cars, gasoline had to be stockpiled. Through various channels and by using a lot of connections and back channels, Li Mu finally managed to stockpile a thousand tons of gasoline.
