The second uncle immediately summoned Lao Xie, Huang Zheng and others to make preparations to support Li Yu and the others.
Li Yu had already agreed with his second uncle on the military radio station that all the missile vehicles in the base would be dispatched.
Missile vehicles are inherently strong and durable, and can withstand the recoil of missile launches. The recoil force of missile launches can range from hundreds of tons to hundreds of tons. It would be an overkill to withstand heavy artillery.
Moreover, the positioning of the missile vehicle itself is constantly moving for combat, so it has the capability of long-distance transportation and driving.
The only drawback is that it consumes a lot of fuel.
There are only four missile vehicles in the base, and this time they were all dispatched.
Each of these four missile vehicles is equipped with two heavy cannons, for a total of eight heavy cannons.
In addition, there are four armored transport vehicles and four infantry fighting vehicles. The infantry fighting vehicles are equipped with anti-aircraft machine guns, which can be used for air defense. The infantry fighting vehicles have a long cruising range, reaching 700 kilometers.
There are also two armored vehicles and four tank trucks, carrying more than 100 tons of fuel for the convoy.
The tanker truck was not full, but it was calculated to have enough fuel for them to reach Oil City. When they arrived at Oil City, they would refill the fuel from Oil City.
There are a total of eighteen vehicles. Lao Xie and Huang Zheng took the lead, working with Li Hang and his uncle at the base to prepare all the supplies and equipment.
As an early employee of Da Zhangshu Base, Lao Xie has always been working near or in the base.
I also came from the WJ team before and have certain leadership skills.
More importantly, he has a daughter who has lived in the inner city for three years in the apocalypse, and is now over eight years old.
Inner city personnel are relatively reliable in terms of loyalty.
Huang Zheng, on the other hand, has lived with Tianrui for many years. As an employee from the outer city, he has been serving as a squad leader.
The two of them need to take the convoy to Oil City. Once there, Xiao Jun will join them and go north together.
Large vehicles drove into Wengcheng one after another, attracting the attention of many collaborators and non-staff personnel.
The construction project of the Fourth Outer City is about to be completed. If it were not for the cold weather now, the Fourth Outer City would have been built long ago and would not have been delayed until now.
As soon as the imperial concubine, Old Huangtou and others came in from outside the city, they saw several powerful and tall missile vehicles parked in Wengcheng.
At this time, He Chao saw Jiu Ge next to the concubine and the others, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly came over: "It's easy to find me, Jiu Ge, you go back and prepare now, there will be an outing mission soon, you go with the team!"
"
Jiuge was a first-level maintenance technician before the end of the world and had rich experience in repairing vehicles.
Jiuge was stunned when he heard this and asked He Chao: "Supervisor, where are we going?"
He Chao frowned and said, "Just follow the arrangement. You will know later."
Jiu Ge didn't say much, nodded and said to He Chao: "Okay, then I'll go clean up and report here right away."
"Don't worry, we won't leave until tomorrow morning. Let me tell you first, don't be late tomorrow." He Chao said.
"Okay, supervisor." Jiuge said.
Then he walked to the imperial concubine and the others, and walked together to the first outer city.
The young boy Xiaoye asked curiously: "Jiuge, what are we doing at our base? It seems like something big is about to happen..."
Jiuge shook his head and said, "Manager He didn't tell me, and I don't know either."
Old Huangtou suddenly said: "There should be something going on with the Northern Federation. The city lord and the others have been away from the base for several days. They sent people there this time, probably for reinforcements."
Previously, the northern federal reconnaissance team sent by Yuan Zhi, Da Dao and others came to the vicinity of Da Zhangshu Base, and later hid in the mountains and forests. Da Zhangshu Base once sent many non-staff personnel to search.
Therefore, everyone in the Da Zhangshu Base also knows about the existence of the Northern Federation.
I just don’t know the specific strength of the Northern Federation.
After hearing this, the imperial concubine nodded thoughtfully.
She had been in the north before, and had heard of the Northern Federation, and wanted to go there, but then she didn't go because of some accidents, and then she was arrested by the boss of the motorcycle gang.
"When I was in the north, I heard about the Northern Federation. It was rumored that it was very powerful. I don't know if the city lord and the others are still doing well..." the imperial concubine said to Old Huangtou.
Old Huangtou was a little surprised when he heard this. He looked at the imperial concubine and asked, "Have you heard of the Northern Federation before?"
"I have heard of it, but I don't know much about it," the imperial concubine replied.
"Oh." Lao Huang didn't say much and just walked straight to the First Outer City.
They have already adapted to life in the Da Zhangshu Base.
As a member of the Da Zhangshu Base, they would still be worried if an unknown force appeared.
They are worried that the Da Zhangshu Base will be defeated, and their peaceful life will be completely disrupted, and they will return to the days of being displaced and worried all day long.
Behind the peace and stability, there are always people who bear the burden for you and resist the wind and rain.
.....
Inner city.
Li Hongyuan found his second uncle: "Second brother, how is Xiaoyu doing now?"
The second uncle looked at his eldest brother, thought for a while and said: "It's safe for the time being, but the Northern Federation is too powerful, and now we are in a stalemate with Xiaoyu and the others."
Li Hongyuan looked worried and continued: "I, I thought about it, how about I go with Lao Xie and the others."
The second uncle had a big head and said with a wry smile: "Brother, just supervise the construction of the fourth outer city. You couldn't help in the past, but..."
He didn't finish what he said, but Li Hongyuan already understood the meaning.
The second uncle also seemed to feel that what he said was a bit excessive. After all, it is human nature for a father to worry about his son.
But he always feels that professional things should be left to professionals, and don’t challenge things that you are not good at.
It's okay to let him manage the base, but if you let him go to fight, he knows that he is not good at it.
So he patiently said to Li Hongyuan:
"Brother, you and I both know Xiaoyu's character. He has always been cautious. Let's not worry too much. Doing what we should do well is better than anything else.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Yutong, how are you doing recently?"
The second uncle changed the subject.
Li Hongyuan felt better after hearing this, and asked about Yu Tong.
He said: "Your sister-in-law, Xiao Yuan and the others are watching. They are in good condition."
The second uncle thought for a while and said: "Try not to let Yutong know about sending the support troops. She is pregnant now, so I'm afraid she will worry."
Li Hongyuan nodded and said: "Don't worry, I know this."
The second uncle saw Li Hang coming in the distance, so he said to Li Hongyuan: "Brother, I will go to the warehouse with Xiao Hang first."
"Well, I'm also busy in the fourth outer city."
The two separated.
Throughout the entire Da Zhangshu base, as a large number of combatants gathered and some weapons and ammunition were loaded onto vehicles, many people felt the atmosphere of a war.
However, not everyone in the Da Zhangshu base can feel this atmosphere.
Anya, who had been staying in the greenhouse, was listening to Zhang Qiwu's explanation with Xiao Shi, Li Peizhen and others.
They were in the greenhouse, looking at the crops and talking about it.
"The sowing depth of rice is generally 5 to 10 centimeters. The sowing depth of rice seedlings in rice seeding trays is generally no more than one centimeter. The thickness of soil cover in rice seedling trays is generally 0.7 to 0.8 centimeters..."
"I think the staple food configuration in our base needs to be modified. Rice consumes too much water. Based on the soil here, I think the proportion of sweet potatoes can be increased appropriately..."
"Next, regarding boron fertilizer, everyone knows that boron is a trace element necessary for the growth of potatoes. A lack of boron will affect the formation and development of tubers. So, in addition to this trace element..."
...
Anya has had a very fulfilling time during this period. She is a graduate student at 211 University, but facing such a leading agricultural expert, she still cannot compare with her in the professional field.
However, the most powerful experts may not necessarily be leaders.
Li Yu had always left it to Anya to do the agricultural planting at the Da Zhangshu Base. Even though a more powerful Zhang Qiwu came, this did not change.
After all, Zhang Qiwu had just joined Da Zhangshu Base not long ago, so it still needs time.
For Li Yu, what he needs in agriculture is stability. As long as it does not cause too much unnatural factors to reduce production, then he will not intervene.
Zhang Qiwu is also very happy recently.
There is no need to manage people like before, he only needs to attend classes like this, and then have a place in the outer city where he can study without anyone disturbing him.
He felt very at ease.
Before the end of the world, as your status has risen, you will inevitably have to face some realistic humanities and sophistication, but here, you don't need to.
The Da Zhangshu Base also provided him with good conditions, allowing him to study agriculture-related things.
It's not just him.
Dozens of doctoral candidates from the southwest joined the established Academy of Sciences and Academy of Engineering, working together with Bai Jie's scientific research office and the mechanical maintenance factory headed by Li Hang.
They will provide technical support in the manufacturing of new energy vehicles and some inventions.
Although Li Hang is nominally in charge of the machinery maintenance factory, the specific affairs are still controlled by Lao Zhou and Lao Dong.
The academic research atmosphere in the Second Outer City is very strong, it's like their own little world, no one disturbs them.
The isolation of the wall made them almost forget that they were still in the apocalypse.
Which kind of happiness is the happiest?
That means you don’t need to think about anything, and you don’t have to worry about whether others are happy or not. You can just do your own things in your own world.
They are very happy.
In the Da Zhangshu Base, the purer people tend to be able to adapt here.
....
Research room lounge.
Bai Jie, Ma Di, Xiao Lan, Wang Yin, Kong Shuang and others were having lunch.
They, the scientific researchers, don't like to go to crowded places, so they take their lunch boxes to the canteen to get food, and then return to the lounge to eat.
"As for the zombie antidote project, although the progress is very slow, don't be discouraged. One day we will be able to develop it." Bai Jie said to everyone while eating.
Madi smiled bitterly and said: "We have not found the source of infection and we have not found the meteorite. Our research is very difficult..."
For a while, everyone's mood was a little depressed.
Bai Jie then broke the silence and said to everyone:
"In view of the characteristics of zombies, the city lord and the others have experimented before, using the flesh and blood of zombies to smear on their clothes, which can have a certain concealment effect."
"But due to the long-term natural disaster, these zombies may be too hungry and now start to eat zombies that have died of the same kind. The original method has failed."
"Everyone can put more thought into this project recently."
Everyone nodded and said, "Okay."
Keep working hard.
At this moment, hiss...
Wang Yin's face turned red, he bared his teeth and fanned his mouth with his hand.
After all, the Da Zhangshu base is located in Gan Province, so it’s spicy.
Chili pepper itself is very rich in nutritional value. It is rich in vitamin C, vitamin B, carotene, calcium, iron and other minerals.
In addition, maybe the cook is also from Ganxi, so he added some chili peppers.
Wang Yin, on the other hand, is from Guangdong and basically doesn’t eat chili peppers.
In the winter, chili peppers can keep the body warm, so we made a chili stir-fry.
Bai Jie saw Wang Yin being so hot and said with a smile: "Drink some water, you..."
As she spoke, she put a mouthful of chili pepper into her mouth.
She is originally from Xiangtan, and eating spicy food is as easy as drinking water for her.
Wang Yin's mouth was slightly swollen. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip of water. He said with a sad face: "I knew I wouldn't want this dish. How did you manage to eat it when it's so spicy?"
"Is it spicy? I think it's okay! This is not Chaotian pepper..." Xiaolan said nonchalantly.
Wang Yin was drinking water, and suddenly he had an idea.
The hand holding the tea cup also paused in mid-air, as if suspended by a time pauser.
Kong Shuang, who was sitting next to him, glanced at him suspiciously, "Are you okay?"
"Are you OK?"
Kong Shuang asked twice in a row.
Wang Yin's eyes became brighter and brighter. He put down the water glass with excitement and said to everyone:
"Wrong, our thinking is wrong!"
"To shield zombies, our previous idea was to extract something from zombie corpses and carry it to make the zombies ignore humans. Essentially, it makes the zombies think that we are the same kind.
But zombies will eat dead zombies, so our idea doesn’t work.”
"Since there is no way, why not think about it the other way around, instead of thinking about what zombies like, think about what zombies hate!"
"I hate chili peppers, so I will never touch chili peppers again. Zombies hate something. Wouldn't that be enough to avoid zombies?"
As soon as he saw it, everyone's eyes lit up.
"It makes sense, but what do zombies hate?" Bai Jie asked.
"Um... Do you hate chili peppers?" Wang Yin said with some uncertainty.
He was just joking.
Unexpectedly, Ma Di's eyes lit up and he said: "The sense of smell of zombies is many times more sensitive than that of humans. Chili has a very strong smell and may be able to mask the smell of people! You can give it a try!"
Whoosh!
Everyone stood up and looked at each other.
It seems interesting.
Bai Jie glanced at the chili peppers in her rice bowl, and then said to Wang Yin: "Anyway, you don't eat chili peppers, so try it with yours."
Everyone rushed to the scientific research room.
In the scientific research room, a door was opened, and then a glass door was opened. Finally, through the iron railing, Bai Jie and others looked at the zombies inside.
There were iron chains tied to the zombie's body, but the iron chains did not hang the zombie up.
Bai Jie used a slender iron clip to hold the peppers and put them in front of the zombies.
The zombie knocked the pepper on the iron clamp to the ground.
"Pull the zombies up!" Bai Jie said.
Ma Di and Wang Yin pressed the button next to them.
beep--
The chains were slowly retracted, and the zombie was hoisted into the air.
Bai Jie stuffed the chili peppers on the ground directly into the zombie's mouth.
The zombie seemed a little disgusted and struggled desperately.
Hoho!
A mouth.
The peppers were thrown in directly.
The next second, the zombies roared.
There's drama!
Bai Jie immediately picked up chili peppers and tested a zombie, but the zombie didn't seem to have much reaction.
No one was discouraged. Scientific experiments are like this. There will be constant failures, and it may take a month or ten years. When a certain experiment succeeds, the joy at the moment of success is unparalleled.
After a round of testing, it was found that most zombies had a resistant reaction to chili peppers.
Ma Di said to Bai Jie: "Zombies have a more sensitive sense of smell. Maybe they can condense the essence of chili peppers and amplify the taste of chili peppers..."
"You can try it."
After a meal, I found a new idea, which made everyone in the scientific research room very happy.
Bai Jie happily said to Wang Yin: "That's right, you have an active mind and can think of these things even if you eat chili pepper. I will take credit for you when the city lord comes back!"
Wang Yin coughed twice and said modestly: "Let's wait until we develop a potion that allows us to walk freely among zombies."
