Since Li Yu encountered the last plane crash, in order to avoid the situation like the last time he couldn't find anyone after the crash.
Therefore, whenever Li Yu travels, he must be traveling with two or more helicopters.
Da Zhangshu Base cannot live without Li Yu.
This point, both the second uncle and the people in the headquarters base, all agree with this point very deeply.
The third uncle on the ground slowly lowered his head after seeing the helicopter take off.
He looked at Lao Xie standing next to him and said:
"Where are Lao Yi and the others now? How long will it take to reach the northern border?"
Old Xie recalled briefly and said:
"I just contacted him this morning. He already set off from the oil city yesterday. It is expected that he will be able to reach the northern border in about two days."
"Okay." The third uncle nodded slightly, his eyes clear.
Looking towards the direction where Li Yu and the others left, I didn't know what I was thinking.
.....
In a helicopter flying to Oil City.
Li Yu sat steadily in the cabin seat, looking at the scenery outside through the helicopter window.
It's April now.
After the weather warms up, the land is full of life.
Ah, green mountains and green waters, the sun shines on the river, making the waves sparkle.
The river flows like silk through the mountains.
However, the ruined cities that I occasionally passed by were in ruins and had no trace of popularity.
A haze.
The walls are covered with moss and weeds, and green shoots sprout from the ruins.
Li Yu overlooked this scene from a high altitude, seeming to see everything from a world perspective.
In the dark, it seems to reveal the cycle of fate intertwined with life and death, hope and despair.
The helicopter was flying high in the sky, and no one in the cabin spoke.
Cannon looked at the top of the helicopter with a bored expression, bored.
Boring, really boring.
His happiness threshold is getting higher and higher, and it seems that happiness can only be obtained through interrogation.
However, in the recent battles, interrogation methods were almost unnecessary, rendering him useless as a hero.
well....
His interrogation tools were also dropped there when the plane crashed.
Although he wanted to take it with him, he couldn't bring so many things with him at that time. He heard that the headquarters had already brought the downed helicopter back to the base.
I don’t know if they missed anything of their own.
Li Tie and Li Gang didn't have so many thoughts. They just crossed their arms and closed their eyes to fall asleep.
Three hours later.
The two helicopters arrived over Oil City.
In oil city.
Ju Tianrui looked at the helicopter flying from the north with excitement on his face.
After Li Yu crashed, he was extremely worried. Even though he had been in charge of Oil City for a long time, Oil City still had strong weapons and equipment, as well as many of the team members who had followed him before.
But he didn't dare to have any second thoughts, and he didn't have such thoughts in his heart.
He was just worried that there might be chaos in the base after Li Yu disappeared, and how he would deal with it if a riot broke out.
Especially when he knew that there was a heavyweight weapon in the base, this weapon made him dare not have any sense of resistance.
Even if he changes to a leader, he feels that it will be difficult for him to trust himself like Li Yu, and what should his brothers do...
So when he knew that Li Yu was safe, he was happier than many people.
A vacant lot in Oil City.
In addition to Ju Tianrui, there is also Xiao Jun who returned a few days ago. He was entrusted by Ju Tianrui to personally lead a team to search for the city lord on land.
Later, after learning that Li Yu was safe, he retreated.
Standing on the right side of Ju Tianrui is Mr. Hu.
He has been here for three days and has been waiting here for Li Yu to come.
In addition to them, there are also Dongtai, Su Yuan, Marseille Long, Lan Jie Niu Gao and others.
As the helicopter landed slowly, these people all walked towards the tarmac.
Boom!
Two helicopters landed on the apron one after the other.
Li Yu unbuckled his seat belt, opened the helicopter door and walked out.
"City Lord."
"City Lord!"
"City Lord, it's great that you are fine!"
After Ju Tianrui saw Li Yu with his own eyes, he was relieved and let out a breath.
"City Lord Li, I've been waiting for you for a long time." Mr. Hu looked at Li Yu with a smile and said, and at the same time walked forward to shake hands with Li Yu.
Li Yu stretched out his hand and shook it, and then said with some emotion:
"The plane crashed a few days ago, and then I was dealing with some things in the north. I'm sorry to keep you waiting."
Master Hu quickly waved his hand and said:
"No, no, I just heard about your plane crash three days ago. I was shocked. Although Captain Ju and the others said that you were fine, I was really worried about not seeing you in person, so I kept asking
Waiting for you here."
Li Yu patted the back of Master Hu's hand, and at the same time released the hand he was holding.
"I'm determined."
Then he looked at Ju Tianrui, Xiao Jun and others, nodded slightly, with recognition in his eyes.
Later, Li Yu came to the chat room in Oil City surrounded by everyone.
Before coming to Oil City, Li Yu had already talked with Ju Tianrui through the radio when he was still in the north, and he had a fairly good understanding of the situation in Oil City.
At this time, Ju Tianrui doesn’t need to report again.
Li Yu came here this time mainly to discuss the issue of the trading market.
After the discussion was completed, construction began directly.
Yesterday evening, the support personnel from the headquarters base had arrived.
In the crowd just now, Li Yu saw some familiar Zhang Rufeng, Liu Taishan and others.
There was even Dai Jiusheng who had some impression on him. In his memory, this Dai Jiusheng also came out of the army.
Li Yu still remembered that he took care of a child, and he didn't know who he gave the child to.
With these random thoughts in mind, Li Yu sat at the top of the conversation room.
Sitting first on the left are Li Tie, Li Gang, Cannon... and then Ju Tianrui and others.
On the right are Hu Ye, Chen Er, Ma Yingxue, Zhou Xing and others.
After everyone sat down, Li Yu glanced around the crowd and focused on Master Hu.
"Master Tiger." Li Yu said softly.
Master Hu quickly put down the cigar in his hand, sat up straight and looked at Li Yu.
"City Lord Li, please tell me."
Li Yu smiled and said:
"We are all old acquaintances, so I won't use polite words."
"I know you came here because of the trading bazaar. I am also very anxious about this matter. Have you read the construction drawings of the trading bazaar I showed you last time?"
Master Hu quickly nodded and said:
"I've seen it. It's very professional. I have no objections."
There are also some professional construction designers in the Da Zhangshu base, so they went to Oil City for inspection a long time ago.
Li Yu pondered for a few seconds and then said:
"These days, I don't think there's any big problem with the drawings, but I think the construction address needs to be changed."
"Ah?" Mr. Hu looked at Li Yu in surprise when he heard this.
In his opinion, that drawing has been very comprehensively considered.
Why change?
So Mr. Hu asked with some confusion: "City Lord Li, can you tell me how to change?"
Crash--
Li Yu opened the drawing in front of him, then pointed at the inner city designed in the drawing and said: "Get rid of it here."
Master Hu was confused, not knowing what Li Yu was going to say.
I saw Li Yu continue to say:
"I plan not to separate the Oil City and the trading bazaar, but directly integrate them into one, with the Oil City as the center as the inner city, and then build the trading bazaar."
"This will save the inner city construction work, and the construction speed will be much faster."
Master Hu was silent for a while after hearing this.
He naturally knew that if the trading market was built with Oil City as the center, then Oil City would have greater control over the trading market.
And his Southern Paradise originally had a place to stay in the inner city. If Oil City was used as the inner city, would he still have such a place to stay?
While he was thinking, Li Yu seemed to see his worries.
So he said: "The place promised to be reserved for Southern Paradise can be divided into another area for you next to the inner city. Do you think this is okay, Mr. Hu?"
Master Hu secretly sighed in his heart, the last natural disaster caused a lot of losses.
The agricultural cultivation in the base is not very optimistic, and at this time, the search supplies are basically very few.
Then we must develop new directions to subsidize the base, otherwise basic operations will not be possible.
Even though I am a little reluctant, I am just a person who drinks soup with Da Zhangshu Base, so how can I negotiate terms?
If Da Zhangshu Base can take them, they will be grateful.
So Master Hu nodded and said:
"We have no problem in Southern Paradise."
After hearing his reply, Li Yu smiled even more.
He likes contented people.
So he continued:
"In the early stage, I plan to invest 500 people here, centered on Oil City.
According to the plan on the drawing, a wall with a height of six meters and a width of two meters will be built first. The total area is 2,000 acres."
This area is five times larger than the original Oil City.
It is also larger than the inner city of Da Zhangshu Base plus four outer cities.
But the difference is that the wall height of Oil City is three times higher than this, and as for the Da Zhangshu Base, it is six or seven times higher.
The same is true for width.
"Well... these are all plans on the drawings, I have no objection." Mr. Hu continued to nod.
Li Yu glanced at Master Hu and asked:
"Master Hu, how are you preparing the building materials here?"
The trading bazaar was proposed before the last natural disaster, but was later delayed by the natural disaster.
Master Hu also started making preparations very early.
So he opened his mouth and said:
"It was delayed for a while by the natural disaster, but one-tenth of the construction materials have been prepared. Some of them have been transported in the past few days, and some of the more important materials have been placed in the Oil City.
Captain Ju knows about it."
Li Yu looked at Ju Tianrui, and Ju Tianrui nodded to Li Yu.
Li Yu continued to ask:
"So how are the manpower preparations on Mr. Hu's side?"
Mr. Hu said: "Sigh... This natural disaster has had a big impact on us. I can probably send 800 people to build it now."
Li Yu nodded when he heard this. He knew something about Southern Paradise.
Originally, there were tens of thousands of refugees outside of Southern Paradise, but Southern Paradise was unable to provide for them and was afraid of causing riots if they were allowed in, so they never took care of these refugees.
But later, as time passed, some people left with expectations that Southern Paradise would no longer be there.
Coupled with several natural disasters, many people died.
Now there are no refugees outside the Southern Paradise.
At that time, there were only a few thousand people in the Southern Paradise.
Being able to send out 800 people is already pretty good.
You must know that these 800 people are just builders.
There must be many people looking for and transporting building materials.
It can be said that this time, Southern Paradise has used its greatest strength to build this market.
Li Yu also saw Mr. Hu’s sincerity,
Originally, I wanted to suppress the proportion of transaction fees charged to all parties after the construction was completed, so as to reduce Hu Ye's profits.
But now it seems that it is no longer necessary.
After all, Southern Paradise only accounts for 10%.
Southern Paradise seems to be at a disadvantage, but once the trading market is built, the direct trading of fuel with Oil City will no longer be limited by quantity.
To be precise, it increases the share of each transaction.
Moreover, Southern Paradise relies on the trading market, which is equivalent to having a second station, although it only occupies a small area.
But it is equivalent to opening up a new place. Once the Southern Paradise encounters a devastating blow, it will not be desperate. The trading market can be left as a fallback.
Just like before the end of the world, investing heavily in a company with potential is just to hope that the company will soar into the sky after it goes public.
For Southern Paradise, it seems that it has suffered a huge loss.
After all, a lot of manpower was spent and a lot of building materials were used.
Moreover, the place where it was built was far away from their southern paradise, and the trading market did not have that many benefits from the perspective of the eyes.
But if you look at it from a long-term perspective, it really ties up the giant of Da Zhangshu Base.
In the future, they will follow the Da Zhangshu Base. If the trading market becomes bigger, their Southern Paradise will definitely be able to gain a lot of benefits from it.
But for Li Yu, he is not at a loss either.
After all, he also needs the human resources and building materials of Southern Paradise.
After the construction is completed, 90% of the benefits belong to you.
Neither is a loss.
Li Yu knocked on the table and said with a smile:
"Okay, that's right. The people from my side have just arrived, and the building materials you searched for are also available. Let's start construction tomorrow."
"Also, when will your people be in place?"
Master Hu glanced at Chen Er, who leaned over and whispered:
"Master Hu, our people are ready. If we want to deliver it, I can ask Lao Zhang and the others to deliver it tomorrow."
Master Hu knew what he was doing, so he said to Li Yu: "It can be delivered tomorrow."
Li Yu clapped his hands and said with a smile on his face:
"That's great. I have some engineering designers here who will take my orders when the time comes. Of course, if you have good talents over there, you can introduce them to us and discuss them together."
"I don't know much about engineering construction. I'll leave this kind of professional work to their professional people."
As he said that, he looked at Ding Jiu and others sitting behind.
Although the third layer of walls is also being built in the base, Ding Jiu and others have already started over there. The basic plan has been laid. All they need to do is follow the established rhythm.
What's more, there are many relevant talents at the base.
The people here in Oil City are basically combatants, or workers from the previous Oil City, who don't know much about construction.
Fu Sheng, the cement production expert, Xu Zhen, the drainage engineer, Xiao Qian, the architectural designer, and Wang Cheng, the veteran worker...
In addition, there are some talented students who moved here from the southwest, including several architectural designers and people majoring in civil engineering.
Just transfer them all together.
Li Yu pointed at Ding Jiu and said: "This is Ding Jiu, our chief engineer for the construction of this trading bazaar. He has twenty years of experience in construction projects."
Then he pointed at Jie Changshan who was sitting next to Ding Jiu and said:
"This is our deputy chief engineer Xie Changshan, who has a doctorate in architecture and once designed a well-known building."
Fortunately, Li Yu has a good memory, otherwise he would have forgotten this person's name.
Xie Changshan, who graduated with a doctorate in architecture, participated a lot in the construction of the Fourth Outer City.
It is also a talent that can combine theory and practical operation.
Li Yu introduced them one by one.
...
After listening to Li Yu’s introduction, Master Hu said,
After seeing Ding Jiu and others, he said with emotion:
"City Lord Li, you are really full of talents here."
