Chapter 730 New World (2) [For His Majesty Orange 5/10]
Zhao Jianshe, male, about 41 years old.
Given the difficult living environment in the apocalyptic world, often after reaching such an age, the adjective "long life" can be used.
At the same time, due to long-term nutritional deficiencies, the absorption of various toxic substances, and high-intensity labor, high-intensity consumption of the body is caused.
Although he is only 41 years old, Zhao Jianshe's body is already a bit old.
Basically, it is equivalent to the physical condition of an old man over 65 years old in the modern world, and he is still in poor health.
Therefore, among today's Zhongzhou tribes, Zhao Jianshe belongs to the kind of old, weak, women and children who receive certain care from the tribe.
In other words, you don't need to do any heavy physical labor, just help the tribe by doing what you can.
Specifically, his usual job is to sweep the streets, or wear a red sleeve and picket up open defecation and littering on the streets.
It can be said that apart from not hooking up with an old lady, Zhao Jianshe feels that his current life is as happy as falling into a honey pot when comparing his life in the previous 40 years.
The problem is that in this apocalyptic world, Zhao Jianshe is already an old man-level figure.
Faced with the fact that you can stay at the tribal headquarters with more abundant medical care, material supplies, entertainment, etc., and enjoy almost some time in life.
But it was in the eyes of others, as if they were seeing a ghost.
I gave up what others considered a superior life, took the initiative to respond to leader Hu Biao's call to "go out," and came to this place where nothing matters.
Contribute your own strength to the development of the tribe.
Perhaps Zhao Jianshe received some stimulation during one of Hu Biao's radio speeches.
Because Hu Biao said: There is no real savior in this world, let alone any god or emperor, who can save everyone.
If there is, it can only be done by ourselves.
No matter how powerful Hu Biao and the leaders of the tribe are and how much they know, how much can they do with dozens of people and dozens of hands?
If you want to make the life of the entire tribe better, you cannot do without the joint construction of every member.
Only when everyone works together can the world return to the way it should be.
Before Zhao Jianshe set out, the only request he made to the tribe was that he hoped Lao Hunchback and other adults would help give them a decent name using the 'Zhao' surname that his father had repeatedly asked them to add before he starved to death.
Rather than being called "big teeth" all the time before death.
He clearly remembered that in the face of his request, the old hunchback, who was three levels above him in status, solemnly gave himself the name "Zhao Jianshe".
The reason is that he hopes that the former ‘big teeth’ can work hard in his new position and contribute more to the construction of the Zhongzhou tribe...
In the following time, Zhao Jianshe walked out of his shack holding a lantern in one hand and a tin washbasin filled with toiletries in the other.
In the dim light of the lantern, Zhao Jianshe came to the yard.
He began to press the handle of a hand-cranked well with both hands, causing the clear water to flow out of it and into his basin.
Just such an action of pressing water made Zhao Jianshe feel a huge sense of happiness.
Because he remembered that when he first arrived at such a stronghold No. 16, there was no running water at all.
For daily water use, we need to go to a mountain stream one kilometer away to fetch water; but the water there is not delicious at all and has an indescribable strange smell.
Fortunately, last week, among the supplies sent by the tribe, there was a hand-operated well device that can pump underground water tens of meters underground.
This will allow cleaner and sweeter groundwater to begin to meet the needs of life in the base.
No! They use their own hands to make life better.
******
It took about ten minutes for Zhao Jianshe to torture himself until he looked like a dog.
Specifically, it means that the shaved head and face are clean, and there is no trace of eye mucus at all.
There are no wrinkles on a Type 05 camouflage uniform, and there is an armed belt around his waist to tie his waist tightly, making him look very energetic.
The reason for this is that Zhao Jianshe is still a small boss-level figure in the current small stronghold No. 16.
In any case, he successfully joined the Zhongzhou Tribe more than half a year after its establishment, and now has a bronze-level status.
Therefore, now that we have established a small stronghold numbered 16 recently, we can manage more than twenty people before joining the tribe.
Isn't it very reasonable to be a newbie in pig iron in terms of status level?
Finally, I made all preparations and went out with a flashlight.
Zhao Jianshe raised his hand and glanced at the time on an old-fashioned 'Modu' watch on his wrist. He could see that the time had reached 5:32...
The area where Lao Jianshe is currently located, if viewed using a modern map, should be in the Yizhang area of Chenzhou, Hunan Province.
The Zhongzhou tribe established a stronghold here, and the reason is actually very simple.
Because based on the map of the modern dimension, Hu Biao and the prospecting team of the Zhongzhou tribe found an iron ore of quite good size and of acceptable taste in Qifengdu, which is about 100 kilometers away from here.
Specifically, the taste has reached 45%, which is much better than the iron mine in Yangshan.
As a result, the Qifengdu Iron Mine was officially developed by the Zhongzhou tribe.
As for the transportation of large-scale materials such as iron ore, what could be more economical and beneficial than the cement ship that is currently the mainstream among tribes.
The speed of that thing is a bit slow when it starts up, but the key is that this thing is one-time use and can load at least a hundred tons of iron ore.
In addition, after installing a steam boiler as the driving method, there is no need to consume precious oil and it can be operated by just burning coal.
The only problem is that if the cement ship is loaded with too much coal to provide power, it will not be able to load as much iron ore.
The Zhongzhou tribe's solution to this problem was to find a hilltop to establish a stronghold every few hundred kilometers along this hundreds of kilometers long route.
The base is not large in size, with about thirty to fifty people stationed there.
There is a squad of soldiers among them, plus a small iron-hulled boat, which can be regarded as an armed force that controls the security of the surrounding area.
The remaining personnel are civilians like Zhao Jianshe.
They need to be responsible for unloading coal transported from other areas to the dock, and then replenishing the coal when the cement ships arrive.
As for their daily necessities, except for cultivating more than ten acres of vegetable land in the surrounding area and planting some melons and vegetables, the rest were all transported by passing cement ships.
In short, in the data of the Zhongzhou tribe, the number of the stronghold has reached 67.
Relying on Zhao Jianshe's people and strongholds, the Zhongzhou tribe now has a territory of seven to eight hundred kilometers in radius and is quite firmly in its hands.
Among them, people like Zhao Jianshe who already have a huge sense of belonging to the tribe have become the backbone of such strongholds.
And there are more and more people like this in the Central Continent tribe...
