May 5th.
beginning of summer.
It's the beginning of summer, and everything is flourishing.
After the beginning of summer, the sunshine increases, the temperature gradually rises, and thunderstorms increase.
Boom!
In the originally clear sky, a thunder suddenly appeared.
a bolt from the blue.
There were no dark clouds in the sky, but after the thunder, light rain began to fall in the sky.
Sun rain.
The workers who were still building at the construction site raised their heads, stopped what they were doing, and looked at the sky.
"Why is it raining all of a sudden? It's raining on a sunny day. It's so weird!"
"Counting the days, today seems to be the beginning of summer. Thunderstorms are normal. Don't worry, this rain will pass soon."
drop--
A long cry pierced the sky.
After Xiao Jun saw the rain falling, he quickly sounded the horn to remind the construction workers outside the wall to quickly return to the trading market.
To build a fence, it was necessary to build scaffolding. At this time, people on the scaffolding heard the long sound and came down one after another.
"Don't mess around, don't mess around, line up and go in!" Li Zhengping stood outside the construction site and shouted towards the construction workers.
It's raining. Anyone who has survived in the apocalypse for several years knows that this is a dangerous signal, which means that zombies may soon attack.
Under the command of Li Zhengping and others, the construction workers ran towards the trading market in an orderly manner.
Since the current trading market has not been completely built, it has only been built to a height of seven meters, and no gate has been installed yet.
After all the construction workers ran into the trading market, Li Zhengping looked into the distance in the rain. There were still no zombies on the plains in the distance, but he wouldn't know after a while.
The reserved gate position in the middle was still empty. Li Zhengping quickly picked up the walkie-talkie and asked Xiao Jun: "Brother Xiao Jun, the gate is open this way. Can I block it with a heavy truck?"
"Also, now that it's raining, should we let these construction workers return to the oil city?"
Xiao Jun, who was busy on the wall, said quickly after hearing Li Zhengping's words:
"Okay, we don't need to let them enter Oil City for the time being, but we can let them come to Oil City first.
In addition, you should always pay attention to whether there are a large number of zombies approaching outside. Once you find a large number of zombies approaching, you will immediately let everyone enter the oil city."
Xiao Jun looked at the weather and felt that it shouldn't rain for long.
He also asked Battalion Commander Ju just now, and Ju Tianrui had the same idea.
"Okay, got it."
Li Zhengping put down the walkie-talkie and called to the non-staff personnel to block the heavy trucks side by side at the entrance.
The front door of the trading market has a large space reserved, with a width of thirty meters.
According to their idea, this door should be made of cement doors with horizontal movable gates on both sides.
One on the left and one on the right, fifteen meters each.
Set up the sliding track below, slightly lower than the ground by about ten centimeters.
Electric operation is always available, and in special circumstances, the switch can be closed by manual rocking.
Boom boom boom!
Soon, the gate was blocked by heavy trucks.
Li Zhengping asked some patrol officers to watch from the heavy truck, and led the remaining people up the wall.
This wall is still under construction, so the mud on some of the walls under construction has not yet dried, and they can only step on the edge formwork.
The rain was pouring, splashing a few small splashes on the concrete that had just been poured.
Li Zhengping looked in the direction of Oil City, knowing that his eldest brother was there.
He felt a little uneasy. He had been staying in Oil City for half a month. He had made some jokes during this time, but no one laughed at him. Ju Tianrui and Xiao Jun also took good care of him.
Li Zhengping was also very upbeat and asked for advice humbly, and gradually became more and more mature about the task of leading the patrol team.
My eldest brother came to Oil City the day before yesterday. He was both happy and a little nervous.
He was afraid of embarrassing his elder brother, but also wanted to prove that he could help him.
"Li Zhengping, you can definitely do it." He encouraged himself secretly.
Then he looked outside the trading market with a calm expression.
This look vaguely resembles Li Yu's expression.
He had seen his elder brother lead the team before. Li Yu had a great influence on him and was the person he admired the most.
Therefore, when he led the patrol himself, he also deliberately imitated his elder brother's appearance and the way and style of doing things.
Several non-staff personnel on both sides looked at this young man in his early twenties. Not only did he not have an expression of fear in the rain at this moment, but on the contrary, he had an expression of being unfazed by the collapse of the mountain, and they felt a little admiration in their hearts.
Although Li Zhengping didn't know much about some basic things when he first came here, he quickly adapted to it and grew at an astonishing rate.
He is indeed the younger brother of the city lord.
They secretly thought in their hearts.
In oil city.
Li Yu was taking a nap when he heard the patter outside.
He woke up immediately, sat up from the bed, put on his shoes, and immediately ran to the window.
The sky was clear, and even the sun was still shining brightly.
It's just that under this sunshine, the rain falls.
Sun rain?
Li Yu frowned, then quickly put on his combat uniform, picked up the automatic rifle hanging on the wall, and walked out.
The moment he stepped out of the door, he heard the sound of a whistle coming from outside.
I hurriedly came downstairs and saw Ju Tianrui communicating with a walkie-talkie.
After seeing Li Yu, Ju Tianrui quickly said something: "Move the cement to a place where the rain can't get wet as soon as possible. The city lord has come down, and I won't tell you anymore."
After speaking, he said to Li Yu: "City Lord."
Li Yu nodded, looked at the rain gradually falling outside, and said to Ju Tianrui:
"The rain shouldn't last long. Let the construction workers temporarily enter the trading market."
Ju Tianrui said: "I have already explained it."
"Yeah." Li Yu said no more.
He just put on a raincoat and walked out. Seeing this, Ju Tianrui quickly followed him.
The temperature is quite high today, it is the hottest time around 1pm.
When it rains, not only does it not cool down, but it becomes even more muggy and humid.
Li Yu was wearing combat uniform and felt a little stuffy.
Sweat broke out on his forehead.
Arriving at the wall of the Oil City, I picked up a telescope and searched among the crowd, and finally saw Li Zhengping on the wall of the trading market not far away.
He put down the telescope and asked Ju Tianrui:
"Li Zhengping and Liu Jinglue have been at the headquarters for a long time. You usually teach them more. If they don't obey orders, just tell me directly."
Ju Tianrui smiled and said:
"The two of them are quite capable. They have become familiar with this place in a short period of time. I think they have done a good job."
Li Yu was noncommittal. He didn't stay here for a long time, so he didn't know whether he was doing well or not.
But at least in the past two days, from what I saw, the two of them were doing a decent job.
"Has the ancient cemetery fort been renovated?" Li Yu asked.
"It's coming soon. It will probably take another week. It's mainly about the fill lights needed for indoor cultivation. There aren't many here in Oil City..."
After hearing this, Li Yu waved his hand and said:
"You can tell the president directly about this matter, and the president will arrange for someone to be sent from the headquarters base. Do you have any other questions?"
Ju Tianrui coughed dryly and said awkwardly:
"We are mainly composed of combat personnel or construction personnel who know little about planting. It would be great if we could send some more professional agronomy experts from the headquarters."
"The problem with planting..."
Li Yu thought for a while, and the agronomy professor Zhang Qiwu and the graduate students under him who were engaged in agronomy basically went to the north to provide support.
I am probably also busy with planting now.
The planting area in the north is much wider than that in Oil City.
They are also very busy over there.
As for the Da Zhangshu Base, Anya and the others have to stay there and cannot leave.
The Da Zhangshu Base is also building a large planting area.
This planting area is divided between the third layer of walls and the inner and outer city.
Both Anya and the others, as well as Zhang Qiwu and the others, are very busy.
By this time, there was a shortage of talent again.
"Um...."
Li Yu thought carefully about where to find talents related to agriculture...
Suddenly, he remembered the experts and talents in the fourth outer city.
This group of people were all sealed in the Fourth Outer City, and some less important matters were left to them on weekdays.
We also prepared some equipment for them that can be used for scientific research.
After such a period of time, Li Yu almost forgot about them.
These people are the essence of the Northern Federation.
When I brought these people back to the Da Zhangshu Base, I wanted to use their abilities to promote the development of the Da Zhangshu Base.
Unexpectedly, there were several spies among this group of people, which made Li Yu have some opinions about them.
It has been kept in the fourth outer city and has not been reused.
However, it has been so long, and after the second uncle and the others' investigations, it should be almost the same.
In this case, Oil City happens to need some agricultural experts, so let's send some experts in related fields over there.
It is also an experiment. If it does well, you can gradually use them in the future.
Thinking of this, Li Yu turned his head to Ju Tianrui and said:
"When the rain stops, I will send some agricultural experts over in two days. In addition to this, I will discuss any other issues..."
Ju Tianrui coughed twice, feeling that there were too many problems.
Their place is no better than the Da Zhangshu Base Headquarters, with abundant supplies and talented people. If you want to do something, you can find a solution directly.
So he spoke again:
"Growing food requires a lot of water. Although there are wells in the oil city, they are not enough for food irrigation."
"And the later trading market will need water when it is built, so water is also a problem. I think in addition to digging some new wells, there is a river just a few kilometers away from the Oil City."
"I want to build a pipeline to bring the water from there to the trading market."
When Li Yu heard this, he secretly thought that this was a problem.
Compared with Zhangshu Base and the Northern Territory, Oil City currently has almost no food production, but also has a huge problem, which is the water source problem.
There is a Shantang Reservoir in the Dazhangshu Base. Now that the third layer of the wall is built, the lake under the cliff on the right side of the inner city of the Dazhangshu Base has also been enclosed.
What's more, there are springs flowing down in the mountains and forests of Da Zhangshu Base.
There is a river running through the center of the northern border, and there is no shortage of water sources.
"Okay, just let Ding Jiu and the others build it." Li Yu said.
Ju Tianrui said awkwardly:
"I talked to Mr. Ding, and he didn't have any objections to this pipeline, but he said he didn't know much about water distillation and purification..."
"As you know, City Lord, no zombies have soaked in the water south of the headquarters... And in the river next to it, zombies can be found from time to time... If the water is not distilled, we don't dare to use it."
Li Yu glanced at him and said:
"In the final analysis, it's still a matter of talent. Why didn't you just finish it all at once..."
"Ahem..." Ju Tianrui couldn't answer the question.
So there was silence.
Li Yu thought for a while and said:
"It's okay. I will send it to you together with the agronomy experts when the time comes."
As far as he knew, the people in the north also used water from rivers.
After using it for so long, there is no problem, which proves that the water treatment equipment in the north is OK.
The water that people drink is mainly distilled water, while the water used for growing crops still needs some treatment before it can be used, but it does not need to be as troublesome as distillation.
Crops cannot use distilled water. Distilled water contains nothing, but crops need the trace elements in the water.
We still have to rely on the experts in the North, after all, they have experience in dealing with it in the North.
"Any more questions?" Li Yu looked at Ju Tianrui.
You don’t know if you don’t ask, but once you ask, there are so many problems that need to be solved.
Ju Tianrui continued:
"Ahem, City Lord, it's not a big problem, it's just some small problems, such as the battery panel..."
Ju Tianrui said a lot in one breath.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Li Yu summarized it with two questions.
Lack of talent and lack of equipment.
Li Yu simply said: "Draw up a list and give it directly to the president and let him solve it."
"Don't delay this kind of thing in the future. If you encounter something you can't solve, report it directly to the headquarters base, and the headquarters will help you solve it."
"If the headquarters can't solve it for the time being, we will find a way to solve it for you."
Hearing what Li Yu said, Ju Tianrui suddenly knew something.
Now the Oil City has nothing to contribute except producing oil.
The trading bazaar has not been built yet, and it is not known how effective it will be after it is built.
After spending so much manpower and material resources, I kept looking for the headquarters...
Ju Tianrui is under great pressure.
But since he heard the words of the city lord today, he put his heart into his stomach.
Just do it. As for what happens next, the city lord won't blame himself.
"I understand, City Lord."
Um?
As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed that the rain had stopped.
It was pouring rain just now, now it will stop.
After the rain stopped, the scorching sun shone on the wall.
There was a crackling and bubbling sound on the wall. This was the sound of rainwater evaporating due to the high temperature.
Li Yu took off his raincoat.
After the rain stops, the rain on the ground evaporates due to the sun, making it even hotter and muggier.
Twisting his collar, Li Yu looked at Ju Tianrui and said:
"Notify everyone, resume construction as soon as possible, I will go to the trading market to have a look."
"yes."
...
After the rain stopped, the construction workers cheered.
"I told you, this is the sun's rain, it won't last long."
"No, I don't understand why you are so happy. The rain has stopped and we have to work again..."
"Do you think you can eat if you don't work? Idiot!"
.....
