As soon as I entered the maintenance shop, I heard my second uncle's voice.
"Old Dong, it would be nice if this electric car of yours could be lighter, but it's too big."
"Minister of the Interior, there has been no breakthrough in battery technology before the end of the world. Generally speaking, lithium iron carbonate batteries or ternary lithium batteries are used.
Although ternary lithium batteries can hold more power per unit, lithium iron phosphate batteries will be more durable, because both in terms of cycle life and remaining battery capacity, lithium iron phosphate batteries will have more power than ternary lithium batteries."
"Okay, you can think of a way to produce five more modified electric trucks this month, and try to reduce the weight as much as possible."
Old Dong looked confused, but he still accepted the task.
After thinking for a while, he then said:
"Chief of the Interior, the automatic zombie cleaning vehicle I talked about last time will still take some time. It's mainly due to motor problems. It's stuck there now."
The second uncle didn't have high expectations, so he nodded and said, "Well, there's no rush."
"City Lord." Old Dong said quickly when he saw Li Yu coming in from the door.
Li Yu heard Old Dong calling him and nodded slightly.
Because the second uncle was facing Lao Dong and his back was to the door, he did not see Li Yu.
But when he heard what Lao Dong said, he turned his head and looked behind him.
"Second uncle." Li Yu said after seeing his second uncle turn his head.
When the second uncle saw Li Yu, the serious and majestic expression on his face softened and he said with a smile: "Xiaoyu, you are here."
"Well, second uncle, I have something to discuss with you."
The second uncle saw Li Yu's serious expression and knew that what Li Yu was going to talk about was not a simple matter.
Old Dong, who was nearby, also noticed that the two of them had something to talk about, so he didn't interrupt and just walked slowly to the other side.
After the second uncle saw Lao Dong leaving, he asked Li Yu: "What happened?"
Li Yu looked at the maintenance shop and said to his second uncle, "Follow me."
The second uncle didn't know why, so he followed Li Yu out of the maintenance factory.
It was around four or five o'clock in the evening, and the setting sun was shining dimly.
The sunset in the twilight looks extremely beautiful.
Following Li Yu, he went outside. Dragonflies were flying low outside. Li Yu took his second uncle to the group of ants.
He opened his mouth and said to his second uncle: "Second uncle, have you noticed anything unusual recently?"
"Abnormal? You mean these dragonflies?"
"Not only that, Zhou Weiguo, who is responsible for breeding in the inner city, said that the cattle and sheep no longer dare to go out to the slaughter, and they have to be driven with whips before they are willing to come out to eat grass. Ah.
And the wolfdogs I raise are also very anxious. Do you think this looks familiar?"
As soon as this statement came out.
The second uncle frowned, thoughts flashing in his eyes.
After a few seconds, he suddenly raised his head and said:
"Are you saying there might be another major natural disaster? I remember that there seemed to be a similar phenomenon before the last volcanic eruption."
Li Yu gave his second uncle a thumbs up in his heart.
It’s clear in just one point, and you don’t need to explain it so clearly.
So he nodded and said:
"I think it's very possible. The several natural disasters we experienced in the past nearly three years had similar situations before they broke out, so I think the possibility is very high."
"Then, in that case..." The second uncle pondered, lowered his head and began to think crazily.
"If this is the case, the personnel from the outer cities of the five satellite cities, as well as non-staff personnel and cooperative personnel will have to be withdrawn! However, the stall is so big now, it is estimated that it will take a few days for them to withdraw. I just don't know.
It’s too late.”
Li Yu pulled up a weed on the ground, put the middle rhizome into his mouth and chewed it.
Wild grass rhizomes are a little green and a little sweet.
"Anyway, if we let them prepare early, they can be evacuated earlier."
The second uncle nodded, raised his steps and walked towards the duty room.
"Without further ado, I'll inform them right away."
After taking a few steps, my second uncle suddenly remembered something.
No, Xiaoyu came to him specifically to talk about this matter. He could just give the order directly, so why would he come to him specifically?
Collaborators!
right!
In the past, both collaborators and non-staff members were allowed to come in, but what about the new collaborators this time?
Do they want to let it in?
After all, not long ago, some of them held protests and later rebelled and staged riots.
The second uncle slowly turned around and asked Xiaoyu:
"What should we do with the new collaborators? Should we protect them?"
Li Yu showed a wry smile on his face and said to his second uncle:
"I'm just confused, that's why I came to discuss it with you."
The second uncle sighed and said:
"Last time, you said to kill the relatives and friends of the arrested protesters directly. I didn't agree and thought it was a waste. Later, you suggested dragging them to the Fourth Outer City to work as coolies. As a result, this group of people rioted. Fortunately, you had beaten them before.
Iron chain, send someone over to supervise, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."
"I'm really ashamed and don't dare to give random opinions. Just do what you think."
The second uncle was a little ashamed. He always thought he was very considerate, but he fell into a trap last time.
If it weren't for the fact that no damage was caused that time, my second uncle would have died of embarrassment.
When Li Yu heard what his second uncle said, he spit out the weed roots in his mouth.
"I'm actually quite confused."
"I'll tell you what I think, and you can help me refer to it."
"From our own perspective, I consider stability first.
Let’s talk about the disadvantages first: these people coming in will add a certain amount of pressure to us.
The first one is the issue of housing. There are thousands of people, and it is estimated that five more greenhouses will be added to accommodate them. Now that there are plants planted in the greenhouses, there is no guarantee that they will do something to these seedlings.
In addition, there are too many people. If a riot breaks out in the city, it will be very troublesome for us to deal with it, and chaos may break out."
"In addition, I don't trust these people. Although a rat's droppings spoil the pot, the last protest incident does not represent everyone, but it can be seen that these people are not easy to manage.
Letting them come in may cause management problems."
"In terms of food, we used to lend food to some partners based on natural disasters, and our old partners will basically pay it back."
The second uncle heard this and said:
"Actually, there is another situation that you may not know.
For the old cooperators, after these few months of carrying out tasks, people from many groups have actually deposited food with us. We are now like a bank before the end of the world.
These people are very frugal and control their food every day. I looked at the data displayed on the computer and found that the points owned by most of the cooperators, and the points that have not been exchanged for food, can sustain their food for half a month on average.
Many people can even reach a four-month dosage.”
"So many?" Li Yu asked in surprise.
"Yeah, maybe I'm afraid of hunger, so I don't dare to eat at ordinary times. I save most of it for daily tasks, and a small amount for daily life."
Li Yu nodded and said: "This is good, at least it is a kind of trust in us and reduces our pressure.
I'll keep talking.
We can provide loans of grain to the old cooperators, but if these new cooperators want to provide loans, five thousand people, that is not a small amount of money, and it is very likely that they will not be able to get it back.
....."
As Li Yu talked, he realized that there were really many disadvantages to bringing in new collaborators.
Before, he was thinking alone and didn't talk to anyone. Now he was sorting out his thoughts while talking, and he had already made a rough decision.
When the second uncle heard this, he said, "In that case, what are you struggling with?"
Li Yu smiled bitterly and said: "I haven't finished talking yet. I wanted to finish talking about all the pros and cons, but I didn't expect that I would talk so much just about the disadvantages. There are even some things that I had never thought of before. This time I talked about it.
I also said it."
The second uncle said patiently: "Then tell me the benefits of letting them in. Take a look at the pros and cons, just to sort out your thoughts."
Li Yu nodded and continued:
“The good thing is that it takes into account the future and the long-term development of the Da Zhangshu base.
In the future, we will need more population and more labor force, and these people may be transformed into the driving force for the future development of Da Zhangshu Base."
"No more?" the second uncle asked with a smile on his face.
Li Yu thought hard and couldn't remember it for a while.
After all, the Da Zhangshu base is now relatively well developed, unlike two years ago, with a small population and insufficient combat power.
In addition, I was really disgusted by the new collaborators a while ago.
Instead of being grateful, they rebelled and protested.
Li Yu smiled bitterly and said: "I really didn't expect it at the moment. If I talk to you, I probably know how to do it."
The second uncle nodded and said:
"I think what you said before is right. There are no longer many talented people. If a team only has many people but is not united and suffers from serious internal friction, it is not actually strong.
If a team has a small number of people, but each performs its duties, and is united enough and has many elites, it will be very powerful."
"It's better to be lacking than to be in vain." Li Yu's eyes flashed and he said.
"Yes, that's the truth. And didn't you bring in Zhang Qiwu and others last time? These dozens of people are enough. They are knowledgeable and capable. We are looking for such people."
"Okay, I understand, then don't let those new people in."
Li Yu already had the answer in his heart and said.
After saying that, he said to his second uncle: "Let's do this. After a while, you will ask the people in the satellite city to start organizing things, and all tasks will be suspended. Don't let the collaborators go far away to perform tasks."
When the second uncle heard this, he thought about it and said:
"One more thing, I have registered those new collaborators before, and among these people, there are actually some people with good abilities."
"Moreover, some of them said they had seen you. Like Zhang Rufeng, he said you asked him to run over. Is this true?"
When Li Yu heard the name Zhang Rufeng, he suddenly remembered it.
"Well...for this matter, I am destined to be with him. Maybe I have been too busy recently."
"That Zhang Rufeng keeps saying he wants to see you."
"Well, people from Zhang Rufeng's group can be brought in. How have they performed recently?" Li Yu asked.
"It's not bad. Among the many new cooperators, they have carried out a relatively large number of tasks, and the quality is not bad. Among the protesters who were searched last time, their team arrested the second most people."
Li Yu pondered and said:
"Speaking of which, I remembered that my uncle told me last time that there was a motorcycle rider named Dai Jiusheng. Before the protests broke out, this man was still trying to report the news. I seemed to have seen him when I went to Southeast Asia.
, I have some impression of him.
This person seems to be retired from the army, so count him among them."
The second uncle nodded and said: "Not only him, but also a powerful person, Zhao Si...
Some of these small teams are from the military, some have special skills, and none of them participated in the protests.
I think all these groups can be included.
It just so happens that there aren’t many of them.”
When Li Yu heard what his second uncle said, he thought about it.
It's not like they can be beaten to death with a single blow, but there are some people inside who can be protected.
Thinking of this, Li Yu opened his mouth and said to his second uncle:
"Okay, how about you make a list, write down the names of these people, and let them come in when the time comes. As for the other new collaborators, we will look at them later, and don't consider sheltering them for now."
The second uncle nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go and write out the list of new collaborators to be brought in."
After saying that, he walked towards the duty room.
Li Yu said quickly: "At the same time, let the people in the satellite city get ready, let them start sorting out tonight, and they can retreat to the Da Zhangshu base tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
The fourth and fifth satellite cities are far away from the Da Zhangshu base, so they have to hurry up."
"I know, don't worry, I will announce the news later." The second uncle said.
Li Yu nodded, and then watched his second uncle leave the Second Outer City.
Thinking to myself:
After discussing this matter with my second uncle, I finally understood something important.
Today is already the 24th, and it’s evening.
Tomorrow is the 25th, so if you reserve a day or two, they will only have three or four days left.
In three or four days, it is still a bit tight for the people in the five satellite cities to evacuate all the people and materials to the Da Zhangshu base.
"Xiao Jun and the others will be back with oil tomorrow."
"He Bing and the others also came back together."
"I don't know if the maintenance at the oil well is going well or if it can be completed tomorrow."
Li Yu looked at the sky and murmured to himself.
The key is that he thought of this guy Zhang Rufeng and the way he looked when he saw this guy. Li Yu couldn't help but feel a little funny.
"Dai Jiusheng? The one on the motorcycle."
"Zhao Si, Shi Fanfan..." Li Yu read the names of the people mentioned by his second uncle just now.
