Five helicopters appeared in the sky above Oil City. While in Wengcheng, Liu Jinglue raised his head and saw the helicopters with big camphor tree markings in the sky.
I felt a little excited. Someone came from the headquarters. I wonder if my cousin has come.
Gathering his nerves, he continued with his own affairs.
Today from ten o'clock in the morning to five thirty in the afternoon, survivors came out one after another.
Clicking on the number of people in the lower right corner showed that the number of people leaving the city today reached more than 13,000.
After most of these people received their weapons, they dispersed in the four directions of the trading market.
They don't care where these people go,
But after this natural disaster, the impression that the trading market was extremely safe had already been imprinted in their hearts.
Buzz buzz——
The helicopter landed slowly on the tarmac of Oil City.
The third uncle had already received the news that Cannon and the others were about to arrive in the conference room.
If a strange helicopter flies over and reaches the sky above the Oil City or even the trading market, anti-aircraft anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft anti-aircraft guns will be activated immediately.
Quickly bomb the helicopters in the air.
The air control at Da Zhangshu Base is even stricter.
Must be 20 kilometers away and report in advance.
After all, there are so many factories and residential buildings on the ground. Once an air attack occurs, irreparable losses will be caused.
The third uncle took Dongtai and others to the apron.
He knew that his son was here too.
After the helicopter docked and stabilized, Li Tie, Cannon and others came down.
"Dad." After Li Tie got off the helicopter, his emotions fluctuated slightly when he saw his father not far away.
I haven’t seen my father for more than three months. It seems that he has lost a little weight.
Thunderstorms and natural disasters are so terrifying, and my father shoulders the heavy responsibility of taking charge of the oil city and trading market.
There were so many survivors in the trading market, which attracted a massive wave of zombies. When he was at the headquarters base, he was a little worried when he heard Li Yu and his second uncle talking about Oil City.
Everything came over.
Looking at each other in silence, the third uncle and Li Tie are not the kind of hypocritical people.
The third uncle nodded slightly and asked softly:
"Have you brought everything here?"
"I brought them all, and my second uncle also asked me to bring twenty tons of grain."
Food, the food here in Oil City has not been exhausted yet, but more is always more secure.
"good."
The third uncle nodded slightly, looked at the commander behind Dongtai and said:
"Carry everything down, empty it and fill the cabin with fuel cans."
"In addition, the ultraviolet lamps will be assembled as soon as they arrive. It will probably get dark in another hour, so we will assemble them overnight. Once installed, we will place them on the wall of the trading market."
"Yes." Dongtai waved to the back, and a large group of collaborators and non-staff members ran over to help.
Every time a helicopter flies from the headquarters base, it will be filled with fuel in Oil City, and unrefined crude oil will also be loaded directly onto the helicopter.
This way you don't have to go back and waste space.
After handing it over to Dongtai and others, the third uncle took Li Tie and Cannon to the conference room.
Li Tie and Cannon followed the third uncle, and the third uncle asked:
"How are your mother and your brother doing lately?"
"My mother's lumbar herniation problem is getting better, and her high blood pressure has stabilized."
The third aunt is a traditional woman. The third uncle has been performing tasks outside for many years. She raised the two brothers Li Gang and Li Tie by herself without any complaints.
I am only in my forties, and because I often sit and step on the sewing machine, I have some minor problems with my neck and lumbar spine.
Although this problem is minor, the pain can be really life-threatening.
No matter how majestic a man is on the outside, there is always a great woman behind him.
The third aunt is very traditional, kind-hearted but not pedantic.
Hearing that his wife's lumbar spine problem was much better, the third uncle's slightly frowned brows relaxed a lot.
"This is the fruit my mother asked me to bring you."
Li Tie took off a backpack he was carrying on his back, unzipped it and handed it to his third uncle.
It contains several of Uncle San’s favorite fruits.
A warm current surged in the third uncle's heart, this silly woman...
She always focused on him. When she got married more than 20 years ago, she didn't even have any decent jewelry, but this silly woman told herself that she could save a lot of money.
As long as he is at home, fruits will always be prepared for him.
"Did Old Chinese Medicine Doctor Huagan treat it?"
"no."
Li Tie shook his head and said: "Qingyang gave her acupuncture, and the effect was very good. I heard Qingyang said that she only needs a dozen more acupunctures, and she should pay attention to her sitting posture in the later stage, and she should be cured."
"good."
The third uncle was in a much better mood and entered the conference room with a bag of fruit.
After sitting in the conference room, the expression on the third uncle's face returned to the way it had been before.
In the conference room, Ju Tianrui, Lao Yi and others were all there.
After Li Tie and Cannon came in, they sat down.
Li Tie looked at Cannon and motioned for him to speak.
Cannon looked at Third Uncle and said:
"Minister, in addition to transporting supplies, we have something to talk to you about this time."
The third uncle nodded, "Say."
Li Tie looked at the people in the conference room, who were basically people from the inner city, and then said:
"Oil City can start building zombie generators. Now the headquarters base is concentrating on ultraviolet lamps. When the production of ultraviolet lamps is almost complete, they will start producing zombie generator equipment.
It is expected that the first batch of zombie generator equipment will be transported in two weeks.
The president asked me to tell you that you can prepare a space for placing the zombie generator in advance...it is best to place it in a bunker."
The third uncle nodded slightly. The second brother had mentioned this matter to him.
The electricity consumption in the Oil City is not large, but after adding the trading market, it is not small.
After all, it would not be appropriate if the entire trading market was completely blacked out at night and completely dark.
It's easy for some silly things to happen in the dark.
In addition, ultraviolet lamps will be installed on the walls of the trading market later. So many ultraviolet lamps plus high-power searchlights will require a lot of power.
Although the diesel generators in the oil city alone can produce enough electricity by consuming diesel.
But after all, oil is a non-renewable energy source.
It's worth saving a little bit.
The zombie generator doesn't consume much. At most, it just cleans out some waste zombies regularly and replaces it with a new batch of zombies.
Zombies... we can't use them all now.
Perhaps in the future, zombies will also become a universal energy production tool.
There are actually a lot of bunkers built here in Oil City, but most of the space is used to store crude oil and various miscellaneous supplies.
There is still some space that can be used to place zombie generators, but these bunkers are scattered.
The total area of Oil City is only a few hundred acres, and there is still a large area that is an oil well mining area and is not suitable for digging.
The third uncle frowned and thought for a while.
Suddenly I had an idea, this kind of zombie generator also has certain hidden dangers.
For example, in the Da Zhangshu Base, the zombie generator is placed in the bunker of the third outer city.
The ground in the Third Outer City is basically a greenhouse, and the few buildings built are used to store some unimportant supplies.
Except for planters and people who go to the building to get materials and supplies, there are basically very few people in the third outer city.
In Oil City, it is not easy to find a suitable place to place a zombie generator.
He thought of the ancient tomb in the Central West District of the trading market.
The entire ancient tomb is eight to ten meters below the ground. It is dark and damp, which is suitable for zombies.
Zombies have lower power generation efficiency in dry and hot places.
"Ju Tianrui, what is the ancient tomb used for now?"
Ju Tianrui just heard Cannon talking about where the zombie generator was stored, but now the minister asked about the ancient tomb.
I immediately understood what my third uncle was thinking.
He quickly replied: "The main purpose is to allow members of the affiliated forces in the north to live there."
"Um...."
The third uncle nodded slightly. The area of the ancient tomb was quite large, covering more than twenty acres.
It is very suitable for placing zombie generators, and the ancient tomb has not leaked for thousands of years, which is enough to prove how reasonable and ingenious the design of this ancient tomb is.
Moreover, so far the ancient tomb has not undergone many changes, there is only one tomb door.
Some say that the tomb door only needs to be closed again and sealed with concrete grout.
Seal it with a three- to four-meter-thick reinforced concrete structure so that people in the trading market cannot enter the ancient tomb.
As for digging seven or eight meters above the ancient tomb, or even ten meters, into the ancient tomb.
Totally impossible.
There are no buildings built above the ancient tomb, it is an empty space.
They can see this side from the walls of Oil City.
If someone digs above the ancient tomb, not only the people on the wall of the oil city will see it, but also the patrols in the trading market will find it.
What's more, you need to dig at least seven or eight meters to get to the bottom, which may be a big move.
"I have an idea. Let's hear it and see if it works..."
“The area of the ancient tomb is very suitable and big enough.”
"The underground is cooler and suitable for zombies to survive. We sealed the door of the ancient tomb at the current trading market and dug a passage in Oil City to connect to the ancient tomb.
Place the zombie generator in that ancient tomb."
Bang bang bang!
Lao Yi looked excited and said with great approval:
"good idea."
"In this way, it is extremely trouble-free and there is no need to excavate such a large area. The passage can even be smaller, with a width of two meters. In this way, even if there is a problem with the zombie generator, we will still be safe in the Oil City.
Easy to control."
indeed.
After all, a single zombie generator is not big, so as long as the tunnel dug is enough to lay cables and accommodate two people walking side by side, it will be enough.
The amount of work is small.
"How far is it from Oil City to the ancient tomb?" Third Uncle asked.
Squeaky--
Ju Tianrui quickly stood up, walked to the cabinet next to him, and rummaged through it.
Found the topographic map of the ancient tomb.
The entire ancient tomb has been explored by them, and the entire ancient tomb is in the trading market.
Presenting a narrow and long shape distribution.
Right between the trading market wall and the oil city wall,
The gate of the ancient tomb is facing the wall of the trading market, about fifty meters away from the wall of the trading market.
It is only fifty meters away from the oil city wall.
"Minister, it's very close. It's only fifty meters away. It's completely operable." Ju Tianrui pushed the map in front of his third uncle.
The third uncle took a look and thought: "Well, there is a question. Do you think there will be someone digging a tunnel outside the trading market to enter this ancient tomb? And then enter our oil city."
"impossible."
Lao Yi stood up and said, "When Ding Jiu, the chief engineer of the trading market, was here, I talked with him. The foundation of the trading market wall reaches ten meters. The foundation is made of reinforced concrete and is extremely solid. It reaches
It’s five to six meters.”
"If someone wants to dig into the ancient tomb or enter the oil city, it is impossible."
"It's too difficult to dig below ten meters."
"And the two kilometers around the trading market are all plains. If someone digs them, we will definitely see them on the wall of the trading market."
"Further afield, we often have people patrolling. If someone digs, they will definitely be able to see it."
"Unless you are excavating more than ten kilometers away, and you have to use heavy equipment to excavate, you can't dig it out just by manpower. If you use heavy equipment to dig, there will definitely be a huge noise, and we heard it immediately.
..."
The third uncle nodded slightly. He was not here when the trading market wall was built. He was still in the north at that time.
He doesn't know much about the infrastructure at the trading market.
"Minister, I think this ancient tomb in the trading market is really suitable for placing a zombie generator, and it's also suitable for growing crops..."
"In addition to water, indoor planting needs most light, that is, electricity. But the zombie generator is right next to it to generate electricity. After generating electricity, it can be directly used to add light to the plants and control the temperature."
It is indeed a waste to use more than twenty acres of area to place zombie generators to generate electricity.
The Da Zhangshu base did not devote so much area to generating electricity for zombies.
More than twenty acres, one mu is 666 square meters, and more than twenty acres is 16,650 square meters.
On average, a zombie generator occupies three square meters, which means there can be 5,550 zombie generators.
A zombie generator generates 0.6 kilowatt-hours of electricity per hour. It generates 14.4 kilowatt-hours of electricity in a day.
Zombies don't need to rest, just squeeze them to death and replace them when they are worn out.
One zombie generates 14 kilowatt-hours of electricity a day, and 5,550 zombies generates 77,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity.
Ten days is 770,000 kilowatt hours, and one hundred days is 7.77 million kilowatt hours. One year is more than 20 million kilowatt hours.
It can't be used up at all.
Generally speaking, before the end of the world, the power generated by small hydropower stations will only range from hundreds of thousands to several million.
If the ancient tombs were filled with zombie generators, the electricity generated would be extremely terrifying.
It's not much better than a medium-sized hydropower station.
They simply can't use it up.
Moreover, placing five to six thousand zombies in an ancient tomb is a bit scary when you think about it.
In addition, zombie generator equipment cannot be manufactured in that many quantities.
These thoughts flashed through the mind of the third uncle.
Knocked on the table.
He opened his mouth and said to everyone:
"Then divide an area of five acres for placing zombie generators, and the remaining fifteen acres for indoor planting."
Oil City has always had a huge flaw, that is, it cannot produce its own food.
There used to be one or two acres of planting areas in Oil City, but they were all destroyed by several natural disasters.
In the unpredictable apocalyptic environment, there is no shelter on the ground and it is difficult to cultivate without a sun shed, and there are too many uncertain factors.
Maybe after months of hard work, the harvest season is about to come, and a natural disaster strikes, and months of hard work are wasted.
If fifteen acres are used to grow food, the yield will certainly not be large.
Compared to people in Oil City, they cannot be self-sufficient at all.
Equivalent to hundreds of acres of planting area at the headquarters base, these fifteen acres of planting area are just a joke.
but!
At least if another natural disaster occurs in the future, there will be no communication with the headquarters base.
There is no need to sit back and have nothing, although the output is not much, there is output at least...
"I agree!" Ju Tianrui raised his right hand after hearing what his third uncle said.
"I agree too!" Lao Yi also raised his hand.
Dongtai was busy outside, and Lao Xie was still on the wall of the trading market.
Li Tie and Dapao looked at each other. They didn't know much about this place. After all, they had never stayed here for a long time.
Since my third uncle has said it, I naturally agree.
The two of them raised their hands in unison.
"Okay, Ju Tianrui, I'll leave this matter to you. Tell Xie Changshan clearly and ask him to seal the ancient tomb door..."
