As for the natural gas needed for cooking, there's nothing we can do about it; when the high-temperature apocalypse arrives, the natural gas supply will inevitably be shut off.

However, he still stockpiled over a thousand gas cylinders filled with natural gas, enough to last for more than a decade as long as the usage wasn't too large.

Besides, for cooking, many energy sources can be used, including electricity, induction cookers, rice cookers, air fryers, microwave ovens, and so on!

There are also more primitive coal and charcoal.

This time, Li Mu ordered another batch of coal stoves, found a professional factory, and customized 500 tons of coal briquettes; he also ordered over 100 tons of high-quality charcoal.

This is enough as a backup energy source for cooking.

……

As time went on, large quantities of supplies entered the warehouse in batches, and the renovation of the Muwu Building was also in full swing.

In the past two days, Li Mu contacted the Greater China headquarters of a well-known international information security company. This company often provides complete information security solutions for research institutions, confidential units, important R&D centers, etc.

Now, they have been invited to create a highly intelligent and information-based security system for the Muwu Building.

For example, there are high-definition cameras and infrared cameras throughout the building, as well as a facial recognition system.

In the future, facial recognition, iris recognition, and fingerprint recognition systems will be used between different floors of the building…

Everyone entering the building will be granted corresponding permissions. Based on facial, iris, fingerprint, and other recognition technologies, they can simply scan their face and move freely within the designated area.

As for floors outside your authorized access level, forget about it. Without the necessary permissions, you simply can't get through. Even if you happen to be lucky enough to reach a certain floor...

High-definition cameras and infrared cameras throughout the building will lock onto you and issue alarms and alerts.

Without authorization, one cannot move an inch within the building.

This whole setup is also for future security reasons; it includes greenhouse vegetables, generator sets, bars, libraries, and cafes…

All of these require human intervention.

Maintaining the normal operation of this building will inevitably require a workforce. In this high-temperature apocalypse, managing this workforce is of paramount importance.

Li Mu didn't want to put in so much effort, guarding against this and being careful about this.

Why not implement a top-tier security system to monitor the building's interior and exterior 24/7, and grant every employee entering the building certain permissions, allowing them to operate only within those permissions?

This reduces a lot of worries and prevents many people from having unnecessary thoughts.

……

Watching the construction workers install the heavy, intelligent alloy gate between the two buildings, which also features professional fingerprint, facial, and iris recognition windows.

After the technicians explained the process, Li Mu gave it a try, and it worked quite well.

After briefly touring the building's security system, Li Mu went to the tenth floor and visited the specially built greenhouse vegetable cultivation base. The construction was progressing quite quickly; specialized soil and overhead fluorescent lights were already in place. In another area, there was even a hydroponics system.

The cold storage and preservation warehouse on the eleventh floor are also under urgent construction, and the progress is extremely rapid thanks to the power of money; the power storage system on the twelfth floor, as well as several diesel generator sets, have also been put in place, and the transformers are currently being tested.

Go up further up, and you'll arrive at the fitness training center.

Immediately, someone came over and introduced: "Mr. Li, please take a look. In accordance with your requirements, in addition to the regular fitness programs and equipment, we have also designed a special martial arts area, covering an area of ​​300 square meters."

"There's also a sauna here. When you're tired from exercising, you can take a shower, enjoy aromatherapy, massage, and more... all in one place."

"Over here is a huge indoor swimming pool, covering 500 square meters; over here is a small bar, where you can have a drink to unwind after a workout. And over here, as per your request, we've specially set up an archery area..."

After touring the 31st floor, we went to the 32nd floor's leisure and entertainment center, which includes a library, private cinema, bar, and coffee shop...

Once these are completed, the next few years won't be so lonely.

Chapter 467 Chance Encounter

In the past few days, the Knight XV and Mercedes Centurion 1200 top-of-the-line motorhomes customized by Li Mu have been arriving one after another.

Before buying it, I was really looking forward to it. After buying it, Li Mu drove the Knight XV around a few times and then put it back in the garage.

This car looks impressive, and you'll definitely be the coolest guy on the road, but the driving experience isn't good. It's not as good as the BMW M5 that came with the villa you bought.

However, in a future of chaos, this bulletproof and explosion-proof civilian version of a luxury armored off-road vehicle would actually be a good means of transportation.

I also had a brief experience with the RV, and the modified functions are very powerful, especially the heat insulation and heat protection effects. The 12 million yuan was well spent.

After two days of breaking it in, Li Mu sealed up this super-large luxury RV, hoping it would be useful in the future.

These days, in addition to purchasing from various companies, Muwu Company has also begun a series of recruitment drives. In order for the Muwu Building to operate smoothly in the future, it will need a workforce.

Instead of scrambling to prepare when the high-temperature apocalypse arrives, it's better to have personnel in place beforehand.

"Boss, these are the proposed job requirements and compensation. Would you like to take a look?"

The speaker was Wang Qian, the vice president of Muwu Group, whom Li Mu had recruited through a headhunter.

Wang Qian is 31 years old and a PhD graduate from a prestigious university. She is elegant and beautiful, and also a successful career woman. Her previous job was as a senior executive at a listed company with a promising future. Li Mu offered her an irresistible high salary, which is why she was poached.

As for why they recruited her? It wasn't because she's pretty... or because she's single! The main reason is that Wang Qian is an orphan and a career-oriented woman, so she has no ties.

During this period, several headhunting companies sent Li Mu dozens of executive profiles, but Wang Qian was the only one, belonging to the type who had no ties to the company.

In this apocalyptic world of extreme heat, Li Mu didn't want to cause trouble, nor did he want to act like a saint. There was a lot of work ahead, which he couldn't handle alone; he needed a capable vice president to help share the burden.

Hiring a vice president in the conventional sense would be too much trouble.

After the high-temperature apocalypse, the situation outside the Muwu Building will certainly not be good. If the situation becomes too dire, the vice president will have no choice but to watch his family and friends suffer outside, or even...

What if they think they can move into the Muwu Building because it has so many supplies? If I refuse, it will only alienate them, and I don't know what the consequences will be.

If they agree, then everyone else—who doesn't have relatives, who doesn't have extended family—will want to bring them in, and that would truly be a case of the cuckoo taking over the nest.

While such forward-thinking may seem a bit cold-blooded, it's true that we need to recruit people who have no ties to the future.

Wang Qian caught Li Mu's eye. She was capable, had no ties, and was dignified and beautiful, which was pleasing to the eye. She perfectly met his standards, so he poached her with a high salary that was hard to refuse.

Li Mu glanced at the newly drafted recruitment requirements and compensation package, and frowned: "The compensation is a bit low!"

Wang Qian was somewhat surprised: "Boss, this salary is already top-tier in our Yun City, and even in the industry."

Li Mu looked at her and smiled: "But we have many requirements. With such high requirements, the treatment cannot be neglected."

Wang Qian was still somewhat puzzled: "But the salary is already very high, so it's only right that they make these demands."

Li Mu said, "Then we'll use high salaries to attract more talent to apply, and select the best of the best."

Although Wang Qian didn't quite understand Li Mu's actions, she had no choice but to agree since the boss had spoken.

After reviewing the draft job posting, I found that the chef position offered a monthly salary of 15,000 yuan, five social insurances and one housing fund, 1.5 months' salary per year, and 10 days of paid leave per year.

Li Mu's salary was changed to 30,000 yuan per month, with six types of insurance and one housing fund, 18 months' salary per year, and one month of paid leave per year.

Such treatment would make any chef envious, except for some truly top-notch chefs. It would naturally attract qualified and highly skilled chefs to apply.

As for the future, will money still be valuable? Will we be able to take a month's paid leave? It all depends on the extent of the high-temperature apocalypse and how social order is maintained.

Now, although it may seem like he's just making empty promises, he really will fulfill the contract.

Next are the doctors, an essential position in the apocalypse. The proposed compensation is a monthly salary of 30,000, with five social insurances and one housing fund, 15 months' salary per year, and 15 days of paid leave per year, which is not a low salary.

After thinking it over, Li Mu changed the offer to a monthly salary of 80,000 yuan, six types of insurance and one housing fund, 18 months' salary per year, and one and a half months of paid leave per year.

This level of compensation might not be enough for some top medical professionals, but it's certainly possible to recruit a few highly skilled and experienced medical professionals.

Next are the security personnel. The draft compensation is a monthly salary of 8,000 yuan, five social insurances and one housing fund, 15 months' salary per year, and eight days of paid leave per year.

Li Mu's salary was changed to a monthly salary of 20,000 yuan, six types of insurance and one housing fund, 18 months' salary per year, and one month of paid leave per year.

However, the recruitment requirements have also increased significantly. For example, applicants are required to be veterans. Background checks will be conducted on these individuals, and those with bad tempers, extreme views, or moral flaws will be rejected.

Although the requirements are high, the compensation is also high, which should help us select a group of qualified security personnel.

Next up were the technicians for the greenhouse vegetable planting base. Li Mu glanced at the job requirements and turned to ask, "Can't we just poach people?"

Wang Qian exclaimed in surprise, "Poaching people!"

Li Mu said, "Yes, the company that built the greenhouse vegetable planting base is quite professional. It shouldn't be difficult for them to poach a few technicians with high salaries, and then recruit a few more planting staff."

Wang Qian pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, I will follow up on this matter."

Next up: librarian, bartender, barista…

Li Mu also recruited two computer experts and planned to build a local area network covering the entire Muwu Building.

You can upload movies, TV series, novels, and other materials, and even if the internet is down, you can still access this content through the local area network within the building.

……

The job posting attracted considerable attention. The high salary offered made job seekers envious and those already employed eager to get a job as well.

In particular, many people were eager to take advantage of the fact that the company not only had a registered capital of 5.5 billion yuan but also its own headquarters building, proving its strong financial strength.

Despite the outside temperature reaching nearly 40 degrees Celsius, resumes were flying in like snowflakes, and job applicants were coming in droves.

Li Mu drove along the road, looking at the scorching sun outside and the sweating crowds, and sighed softly.

It's already late December, long past winter, but the temperature is still like midsummer. Temperatures soaring to over 30 degrees Celsius, even 40 degrees, are scorching the earth.

Li Mu could only be thankful that it was winter. Although the temperature was much higher than in previous years, it was still below the human body's tolerance level. The arrival of winter had eased the heatwave considerably.

If it were summer now, the temperature would probably already be as high as fifty or sixty degrees Celsius.

According to his guess, due to winter, it is unlikely that the temperature will rise to 50 or 60 degrees Celsius in the next two months. However, once spring arrives in March of next year, there will be no room for easing, and the temperature will rise sharply with the arrival of spring.

He only has two months left. And that's assuming nothing unexpected happens.
