Chapter 1242 The first phase of the trading market is completed!
The second uncle stayed in the north for a few days and then returned to the oil city.
In recent days, Oil City has seen a lot of people coming from the north.
These people are all members of affiliated forces in the North, such as the Tattoo Gang, Tianji Faction...
With the addition of these people, the number of construction personnel in Oil City increased sharply again, reaching 3,000 people.
Due to the participation of these people, the construction of the Oil City Trading Market was also accelerated.
But there is also a problem: the supply of building materials cannot match the speed of construction consumption.
Therefore, some of the personnel who supported the construction of Southern Paradise were withdrawn to help search for and transport construction materials.
Only in this way can a consumption-supply balance be achieved.
The second uncle stood on the wall of the oil city, looking at the construction site in the distance with a telescope.
There are constant clanking sounds on the construction site and there is a lot of dust.
The foundation of Oil City has been built, and now we are building upwards, using the cast-in-place method, which is fast and relatively strong.
It is relatively simple to increase the height later.
Ding Jiu stood next to his second uncle. He had been here since the trading market was being built.
He is the commander-in-chief of the trading market project. Such a large project cannot be completed by him alone. Fortunately, there are some experts in engineering design and construction.
Xie Changshan and others who came from the southwest played a huge role in the design and construction.
"Old Ding, how long do you think it will take to build the wall of the trading market?" the second uncle asked.
Ding Jiu did not answer immediately. After pondering for a while, he said:
"The construction speed far exceeded my original expectations. The construction manpower originally prepared at the beginning was only 500 people, but now there are 3,000 people, which has increased six times."
"Moreover, there is no glitch in the supply of building materials at Southern Paradise, which is very impressive.
I estimate that if we only build the first phase of the wall, it will only take about half a month, or even faster."
The second uncle was a little surprised when he heard this. The trading market covers an area of more than 2,000 acres, which is equivalent to the area of a medium to large university.
However, in the first phase of construction, only a rectangle was built. The height of the fence was only six meters and the width was only two meters.
This does not include the infrastructure construction inside.
This speed is quite normal.
If it hadn't taken more than half a month to lay the foundation, the first phase of the project might have been completed.
The foundation of the trading market is very solid, which is also in preparation for the heightening of the wall behind it.
If the foundation is not strong, problems may arise if the height is increased later.
The second uncle put down the telescope and said to Ding Jiu:
"The speed is quite fast. The third layer of the wall is also being built at the headquarters base. It will probably be completed in about the same time as here."
When Ding Jiu heard what his second uncle said, he said with some relief:
"That's good. Xiao Ding and the others are also very experienced."
The second uncle didn't speak any more, and gently rubbed the telescope in his hand.
Both Haoran and Haoxian stayed in the north, leaving their third brother to lead the area, hoping to achieve some growth.
As for Zhengping and Jinglue, he has already told Ju Tianrui and asked them to follow Ju Tianrui.
As long as he stays in the oil city, with Ding Jiu and the others taking care of him, there shouldn't be any problems.
After staying in the oil city for another two days, my second uncle got on the helicopter and headed back to the Da Zhangshu Base.
Before leaving, he carefully explained to Li Zhengping and Liu Jinglue, asking them not to be arrogant and arrogant, but to put down their bodies and exercise hard.
Ju Tianrui watched the helicopter take off, and then looked at the two young men around him who were about twenty years old.
Li Zhengping happened to be looking at Ju Tianrui, and the two looked at each other, so Li Zhengping came over and said, "Captain Ju, can you assign tasks to us? We can do anything."
Ju Tianrui felt a little hesitant after hearing this.
The most important thing now is to ensure the construction of the trading market, mainly to ensure the transportation of materials, and also to maintain the order of the construction site.
It would be too risky to let them run out and join the transportation team.
It's better to let them stay at the trading market construction site.
So he opened his mouth and said:
"Li Gang left just now. He is responsible for maintaining order on the construction site and protecting the construction site to prevent enemies or zombies from approaching. I will leave these two tasks to you."
He had also met Li Zhengping and Liu Jinglue when he was at the base before.
Naturally, I have some understanding of their abilities. Those who have received special training from the minister will not be any worse.
It just so happens that Xiao Jun and Dongtai have important things to do, and they can't take care of it, so we might as well leave it to them.
Hearing this, Li Zhengping nodded quickly and said, "Okay, thank you, Captain Ju."
In the past, he had never been responsible for something alone. He always followed Li Gang or Li Tie.
Now I have the opportunity to lead some non-staff personnel to maintain order. Although it is not a particularly big thing, it is a beginning.
Ju Tianrui smiled and shook his head and said:
"It just so happens that you are here to help lighten my burden. I would also like to thank you. You asked Liu Jinglue to come over. I will tell you about the things to pay attention to when patrolling and maintaining order."
"Okay." Li Zhengping happily ran to call Liu Jinglue.
.......
Big camphor tree base.
Two helicopters landed slowly in the sky.
This was the second uncle and his group who returned from a week-long trip to Oil City and the Northern Territory to take exams.
In the past two days, Li Yu already knew that his second uncle asked Haoran and the others to stay in the North and Oil City.
He had no opinion on this matter.
As long as the second uncle and eldest uncle are willing, he is eager to do so.
It is definitely a good thing for our juniors to go out and exercise.
soon.
After the second uncle got off the helicopter, he didn't see Li Yu, only Li Tie and He Chao were here.
So he asked: "Where is the city lord?"
Li Tie pursed his lips toward the inner city and said:
"Brother, in the inner city."
"good."
The second uncle nodded, and then asked the two of them:
"Nothing happened at the base recently, right?"
"No, everything is normal." Li Tie replied.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Later, Li Tie asked his second uncle about the situation in the north and Oil City.
Ten minutes later.
The second uncle walked towards the inner city.
In the inner city, Li Yu was walking with Yutong in the garden, followed by three majestic wolf dogs.
These wolfdogs are already adults, strong and majestic.
They often run around in the inner city on weekdays, but every time Li Yu comes back, these wolf dogs will surround Li Yu.
"Cuihua, come here." Li Yu shouted to a wolf dog chasing a butterfly over there.
Cuihua ran over quickly.
Li Yu smiled and touched its dog's head. The other two wolf dogs seemed a little jealous after seeing it, so they also ran to Li Yu and stretched their necks to look at Li Yu, as if to say I want it too.
Li Yu smiled and touched the heads of the other two wolf dogs.
Several wolf dogs made coquettish sounds.
At this moment, the second uncle's voice came from behind.
"Xiaoyu."
Li Yu turned around and saw his second uncle.
So he said to Yutong: "You sit on this stool for a while, and I'll go talk to my second uncle about something."
Yutong nodded and said understandingly:
"Go ahead, I'll go back by myself later."
Li Yu smiled and said:
"It's okay for a while. I'll come back to you later."
After saying that, he walked towards his second uncle.
"Second uncle."
Under the sun, Li Yu was wearing casual clothes and looked very good. Wearing casual clothes, he looked very relaxed.
It's just that he has a gun on his waist, which dilutes the leisurely atmosphere.
"How about a walk?" the second uncle said with a smile on his face.
"Um."
Li Yu nodded and asked straight to the point:
"How about it? Do you think it's possible to install a zombie engine over there in the north?"
"I heard that the materials for the greenhouse in the north are already in place. It will probably be built soon. We must find a way to solve the power problem."
Li Yu didn't want to delay this matter any longer. The earlier he could start large-scale planting in the north, the earlier he would be able to harvest food.
In any case, since the northern border has been positioned as a grain-producing area, we must find a way to solve the problem.
The second uncle heard that Li Yu directly asked about the matter.
Originally, he wanted to report to Li Yu on the situation after his inspection, but since Li Yu talked about it straight to the point, he temporarily put aside what he had just thought about.
He opened his mouth and replied:
“Transporting fuel from the oil city to power generation requires long journeys and long journeys, which is too troublesome.”
"The existing photovoltaic power generation in the north cannot support the power needed for greenhouses."
"I have no choice but to use the zombie generator."
"However, I think the zombie generator is of great importance after all. I suggest placing the zombie generator in an underground warehouse in the north."
"In addition, we will have someone on duty 24 hours a day."
Li Yu was relieved when he heard that his second uncle agreed to set up a zombie generator in the north.
He smiled and said: "I agree with these two suggestions of yours. In addition, I think we should simply bury a certain number of bombs in the underground warehouse."
"If you encounter an emergency, you can turn on the self-destruct mode. As few people as possible know about this self-destruct device."
When the second uncle heard what Li Yu said, he immediately knew that Li Yu had long made up his mind to build a zombie generator in the north, and even considered a self-destruct device.
So he said, "Your uncle, uncle, and I have also discussed this matter, and they agree."
"Okay, then this matter is settled. Second uncle, please tell third uncle when the time comes." Li Yu said to the second uncle.
"Xiaoyu, let me tell you some things I discovered during my inspection this week and discuss them with you."
"Second uncle, please tell me." Li Yu looked at his second uncle quietly.
....
....
Time flies by like a white horse.
Half a month passed in a flash.
Since the heavy rain some time ago, it has been sunny weather.
The first phase of construction of the trading market has finally been completed.
Looking at the long wall that was erected, although it was only six meters high, Ju Tianrui felt a strong sense of pride looking at the wall that was built bit by bit.
After the first phase of construction is completed, there will be no pause.
Seamlessly connect to the second phase of the project. The main purpose of the second phase of the project is to build infrastructure in the trading market. After the second phase of the project is completed, the trading market can be officially opened.
In addition to building infrastructure, the second phase of the project also includes raising the height of the fence to ten meters.
In addition, a mobile gate knife is installed at a height of six meters on the fence.
After Li Yu learned that the first phase of the construction project was completed, he took a helicopter to Oil City.
"Lao Ju, after the publicity, did you find that some survivors are interested in us?" Li Yu walked on the wall of the newly built trading market and asked Ju Tianrui.
Ju Tianrui quickly replied:
"From feedback from the transport personnel, some survivors have asked about it."
Li Yu raised his eyebrows and asked:
"Are there many people?"
"Forehead..."
Ju Tianrui shook his head and said:
"There are very few direct inquiries, but recently I found many survivors snooping around, probably waiting and watching."
Li Yu nodded slightly, is anyone watching?
That's enough, sooner or later they will come in and take a look.
After all, in the apocalypse, it is unlikely that there would be another place that would offer such a deal.
Let the bullet fly for a while.
"Intensify publicity efforts and expand the scope of publicity." Li Yu said.
"clear."
....
Just when Li Yu was inspecting the trading market construction site.
In a mountain forest less than three kilometers away from the trading market.
There is a small team with only a few people observing the construction site of the trading market with telescopes.
"Brother Dafeng, do you think this so-called trading market is reliable?"
The man who was looking at the trading market with a telescope took it down and his eyes flashed.
"Who knows if it's a trap or not. It hasn't been built yet. Once it's built, let's see if anyone else gets in."
The subordinate who spoke just now remembered the slogan of the trading market.
So he said, "But their slogan is a bit interesting. I'm curious about what's in the trading market."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The leading man said with a smile:
"Just wait, if we can really provide a safe trading platform, we will definitely go in and take a look."
"This force doesn't look simple. Have you seen that helicopter? I've seen three of them recently."
"And being able to feed so many people shows that this force either has a large reserve of grain or has achieved a balanced food supply and is still able to survive until now. This force is not something we can afford to offend."
Several of his subordinates believed this deeply.
"Brother Dafeng, should we continue watching here? Or should we go back and report to the professor?" the subordinate asked.
Hearing the name Professor, Brother Da Feng showed a look of admiration in his eyes.
"You've seen almost everything you need to see, let's go back."
....
With the huge publicity of the trading bazaar, the big and small forces hidden everywhere came to the fore and looked at the trading bazaar curiously.
Some people watched all this indifferently, not participating, responding, or paying attention.
There were also some people who looked curiously at the trading bazaar that appeared.
Some people knew about Oil City, but they had never been exposed to it.
After hearing about this trading bazaar, I plucked up the courage to try to get to know the transport staff.
They were shocked when they learned that food could be traded in the trading market.
After all, no one is willing to trade food in the apocalypse.
With the promotion of trading fairs, these seven words, Oil City Trading Fair, appeared in the mouths of many survivors in the Central Plains region, and even in some areas around the oil city in Hubei and Anhui provinces.

[Hey guys, today my family and I are visiting the grave. We don’t have enough time, so I’ll just add another chapter.
I just paid back one chapter a few days ago, and now I owe seven chapters again. Woohoo]
