Li Yu chatted with Master Hu for a long time in the Sanqing Palace in the Fourth Outer City.
Many of Mr. Hu's ideas were something Li Yu had never thought of before, which brought him many new ideas.
When we left Sanqing Palace, it was already half past five in the evening.
"I have benefited a lot from chatting with Mr. Tiger for so long. It is getting late now, so I will go back first." Li Yu stretched his numb legs and said to Mr. Tiger.
Mr. Hu said with emotion: "City Master Li can come to me often when he has time to chat and sit down. I don't have much to do now. I am also very happy to be able to chat with City Master Li."
"Ha ha."
At this moment, a child's voice came from outside.
"grandfather."
I saw a little boy about ten years old running in the door carrying a canvas bag.
This little boy of about ten years old is Mr. Hu’s grandson Li Yizheng. He is studying at a school in the inner city of Dazhangshu Base. It is time for school to end now.
After seeing Li Yu, the little boy slowed down and looked at Li Yu with admiration.
The look in his eyes was like a fan seeing his idol.
I saw him walking up to Li Yu and politely saying to Li Yu: "Hello, City Lord."
Li Yu recognized the little boy, smiled and rubbed his head.
"Azheng is out of school?"
Ah Zheng nodded vigorously, "City Lord, when will you teach us? I heard from my classmates that you will also teach us occasionally?"
Here at the headquarters base, there are not many full-time teachers, but there are many part-time teachers, and there are even more part-time teachers than students.
Most of these part-time teachers are people working on the front line. People such as Anya, Bai Jie, Ma Di, Lao Lu and others will give special teaching in the school when they are free.
Generally, classes are held only once a week, which doesn't take them much time.
The same is true for Li Yu.
The courses he mainly teaches are wilderness survival courses.
"Next week, I guess I don't have time this week." Li Yu replied with a smile.
He has to prepare to go to West City this week to meet with the bosses in the northwest to discuss in detail the cooperation in jointly developing a zombie vaccine.
After hearing Li Yu's answer, Li Yizheng was not too disappointed, "Next week will be enough. Many students in our class want to take your course."
"Haha, really?"
Li Yizheng nodded heavily and said:
"Yes, that Lu Zifei said your class was the most interesting."
Lu Zifei?
When Li Yu heard this name, he thought about it and remembered that this was Lao Lu's daughter.
This girl has a gentle temperament, but she is soft on the outside and strong on the inside. When they were allowed to eat earthworms and caterpillars raw, the girl didn't even frown, so she was quite a talent.
Li Yu looked at the time on his watch, raised his head and said to Master Hu:
"Master Hu, I'm leaving first."
He waved to Ah Zheng again, "Goodbye Ah Zheng."
"Goodbye City Lord."
"City Lord Li is coming again." Master Hu pushed the wheelchair and wanted to see Li Yu off, but was persuaded by Li Yu to come down.
After leaving Sanqing Palace, I saw Deng Ben, Lai Dongsheng and others standing at the door.
Deng Ben saw Li Yu coming out and said quickly: "The city lord, Vice Minister Song and Gong Zhou were called away by the president, saying that there was something urgent."
"What's the emergency?" Li Yu asked curiously.
Deng Ben said with some excitement: "It is said that the entire set of steel smelting equipment from the Ganxi New Steel Plant has been transported back."
"I heard that the equipment is well preserved. It should be able to be used directly after repair."
Li Yu's eyes lit up and he nodded: "That's good. Let's go and have a look."
.......
We hurriedly arrived at the buffer city from the fourth outer city.
Since the thunderstorm disaster, the construction of the buffer city has not stopped, and now the height of the wall has been built to more than ten meters high.
The buffer city is a huge area, with an area of more than 20,000 acres. It has been temporarily divided into three areas. The rest have not been decided yet and have not been developed.
Nearly half of the area is used to build greenhouses, which will later produce food.
In addition, nearly 3,000 acres are used as an industrial park, and another 1,000 acres are reserved for cooperative staff and non-staff personnel to live in.
The remaining six to seven thousand acres have not yet been developed.
After more than a month of construction, a quarter of the greenhouse has been built, and crops have begun to be planted in the greenhouse.
Some heavy industries in the city inside and outside the Dazhangshu base have been relocated outside, and some factories have also been built.
Such as lime factory, cement factory, daily chemical factory, plastic factory, petroleum refining factory, wood processing factory...
All along, the steel used in the base and even the PC solar panels used in the greenhouses were sourced from outside.
Especially steel products, most of them are found in steel wholesale markets in surrounding cities.
As they developed step by step, they built some small workshops-like factories in the city outside the Dazhangshu base, which were able to meet their needs at the time.
But now, due to the increase in population and the expansion of bases, the demand for various industrial supplies has skyrocketed, and a number of new factories have been built in the buffer city.
However, only part of the factories are now in use, and a large part of the factories are under preparation and construction.
When Li Yu arrived at the buffer city, he happened to see Xiao Hu directing everyone and using a crane to lower equipment weighing dozens of tons on the vehicle.
The infrastructure required by steel plants, such as blast furnaces, converters, electric furnaces, rolling mills and other items are very heavy. Some of them can be dismantled into parts and transported back, but some are difficult to disassemble and only large transport vehicles can be used to transport these equipment back.
In the transportation fleet, the equipment in the steel plant is very large.
Cranes, forklifts, and hanging towers are all in use.
Li Yu felt a little excited as he watched them carry it down in an orderly manner.
Now, we can smelt steel after the iron ore from Xunwu, Linxian County, is transported here.
From now on, their Dazhangshu base will be able to completely realize independent steel production.
It is of great significance.
It is certainly convenient to find ready-made steel materials, but after so many years of searching, there are fewer and fewer steel materials available.
Moreover, although the shelf life of steel is at least several decades, steel that has been stored for too long will be corroded by wind and rain, and its quality will also decline.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Especially for steel that is not wrapped in oil, the weathering and rusting situation is more serious.
The second uncle and Song Min were also here. Seeing Song Min and the second uncle in front of them chatting, Li Yu walked over.
"Song Min, it was finalized at the previous central meeting that the industrial park should form a complete system and form an industrial chain. The steel plant will be set up near the cement plant. In such a steel plant, the iron ore will bring in the molten iron and then use the electric furnace.
Steel is made and then rolled into steel, and the iron slag and steel slag are sent to the cement plant to make cement. It forms a perfect closed loop..."
Song Min nodded beside him, "Understood. I have talked with Mr. Ding before. The factory next to the cement factory can store equipment and the space is large enough..."
"City Lord." As soon as Song Min finished speaking, he saw Li Yu walking towards them behind his second uncle.
Li Yu nodded.
The second uncle turned his head and saw Li Yu, and said to Song Min:
"Go and talk to Ding Jiu and Xiao Hu. You should also keep an eye on the equipment assembly and later steel plant employees."
"Okay." Song Min glanced at Li Yu and left in a hurry.
"Second uncle." Li Yu came over with a smile on his face.
"How was your chat with Master Hu?" asked the second uncle.
Li Yu looked at the people carrying the steel plant manufacturing equipment and said:
"It's okay. I think Mr. Hu has a few suggestions that I think are quite interesting. With the Da Zhangshu base as the center and the five surrounding satellite cities as the basis, 30 outposts will be set up along the surrounding roads, with fixed posts in each post.
Ten people, let non-staff personnel serve."
"These outposts can patrol the surrounding area to prevent enemy invasion; support cooperating personnel; and provide short-term shelter."
"And it's also very simple. It uses a stacked container structure, which is a bit boring, but even without ultraviolet lights, they are safe in such a fully enclosed container."
"Container?" The second uncle thought for a while.
Containers are also fine. Closed containers are cold in winter and hot in summer, so they will probably be very stuffy.
The container is too closed and has no windows. You can also use a cutting machine to cut out the windows, and then use iron railings to weld them on top.
Although the living environment is a bit harsh, it still meets the needs of defending against zombies at night.
And according to what Li Yu just said, there are 30 outposts, each with ten people, and a total of only 300 people, so the manpower required is not too many.
This will enable us to strengthen our control over the entire Gan City.
This suggestion can indeed be implemented, and the results can be expected to be quite good.
Just imagine, if the collaborators are transporting ore from a mine two to three hundred kilometers away from the gathering base back to the headquarters base, something unexpected happens on the way and it becomes dark and they cannot return.
You can also temporarily stop at the outpost.
Anyway, the outposts are made of stacked containers, so it should be very simple to build.
It doesn't have to be as restrictive as the current restrictions. Only five satellite cities can provide shelter.
Seeing his second uncle thinking, Li Yu continued to ask: "Second uncle, what do you think?"
"It sounds feasible. What do you mean... try it?" the second uncle asked.
"Then try it!" Li Yu gave a clear answer.
"Okay, then I'll let Ding Jiu talk about it and see what happens." The second uncle nodded and continued:
"In one week, it's time for you to meet with the northwest boss. When do you plan to set off?"
"Wait until Tiezi comes back and go when you're ready."
"good."
...
Ouch!
Li Tie in the fifth satellite city sneezed violently.
"I'm sorry, where did you just say it? You continue."
Zhao Bin, the person in charge of the fifth satellite city, wiped the saliva from his face with a calm expression.
"fine."
"That night, a white tiger appeared. It was very big, bigger than ordinary tigers. We shot it with guns and scared it away."
"Scared away? Did you miss?"
"It's all in the dark, you can't see clearly."
"Why are we fighting? The wall here is high enough, so it can't jump in, right?"
"Oh! That's not necessarily true. It was just a little bit close. He jumped to a height of more than five meters in a random jump. It scared people to death. I suspect it is a mutant tiger."
After thinking for a while, Li Tie nodded and said:
"Okay, I'll take note of it and I'll report it to the city lord and the guild president personally."
After saying that, he looked towards the entrance of the satellite city, and the last electric transport truck entered the gate.
As the last electric truck entered the gate, four or five guards on both sides of the gate pushed the heavy gate hard, and then locked six long locks.
It wasn't over yet. After closing the six locks, they drove an electric truck weighing dozens of tons and loaded with coal and pushed it behind the gate.
In the satellite city, there are more than a dozen electric trucks loaded with coal, more than thirty trucks loaded with limestone, four or five electric trucks loaded with tungsten ore...
Hundreds of electric trucks, loaded with various raw materials, are neatly parked in the open space in the center of the satellite city.
"Where did they get this coal from?" Li Tie was a little curious.
There seem to be relatively few coal mines around Gan City, but there are an absurd amount of tungsten mines and rare earths.
Zhao Bin shook his head and said, "I don't know either. There is a Laolu coal mine in Gan City, but it was flooded and collapsed."
"How about I call them over and ask them for you."
"go."
A few minutes later, Zhao Bin brought someone behind him.
This man looked excited after seeing Li Tie.
"Xia Zihou, leader of the 78th team of cooperative personnel, greets Captain Li Tieli."
"Do you know me?" Li Tie asked curiously.
"Yes, many people in our Da Zhangshu Base should know Captain Li Tie." Xia Zihou calmly flattered him.
Li Tie laughed and scolded: "Where did you get all that coal?"
Xia Zihou leaned over quietly and said, "I just want to report to you that the coal mines in Xunwu County can still be mined."
"Oh." Li Tie thought about it carefully. Xunwu is in the next county town, but he rarely goes there. He knew that there were a lot of iron ore and tungsten mines in that place, but he didn't expect that there were coal mines.
"Okay, I understand, you can go down." Li Tie nodded and said.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Xia Zihou hesitated for a few seconds before leaving.
...
northwest.
Lan City.
Wuyuan Mountain.
The lights illuminated the hall, and people were drinking and drinking.
"Old Ma, I have to leave tomorrow, so I can't drink anymore." A man in tattered clothes who looked just like an ordinary survivor waved his hand vigorously to decline Ma Laoliu's offer to drink.
"Business, oh... I'm not in a hurry tomorrow, I can stay for two more days."
"That's not possible. I came here with a big mission." The man's face was red with a hint of pride. He held the wine glass in his hand and wanted to drink, but he was a little worried.
Ma Laoliu pricked up his ears, raised his eyebrows when he heard the words "big task", and immediately stood up and leaned over to fill the wine glass of the man opposite him.
"Gong Cao, we have known each other for several years. The last time we met was the last time. We haven't seen each other for such a long time. No matter what, we have to have a good drink." Ma Laoliu said, and at the same time he came over and whispered: "Don't worry.
, In my place, the two of us have the final say. If the boss is not around, who can control you and me? The boss won’t know."
"Drink!" Hong Gongcao shouted. When he heard Ma Laoliu's words, his originally tilted balance completely tilted to this side, and he raised his hand, bold and calm.
"Hahaha, brother Gongcao is so powerful and domineering!"
Ma Laoliu gave a thumbs up in praise, which made Hong Gongcao feel very happy after hearing this.
"Brother Ma, you don't know. I was suffering so much in the northwest. I haven't had a drink for a whole year. Now the big boss sent me out to perform a secret mission. When I get to you, I finally
You can relax now.”
"Secret mission? What secret mission?" Ma Laoliu asked as he walked down the slope.
"belch--"
Hong Gongcao burped, and a breath of alcohol blew into Ma Laoliu's face.
"I've already said it's a secret mission, but we can't let it out." Hong Gongcao stood up unsteadily and said with some pride: "This is a mission assigned to me by the boss himself. There are so many squadron leaders who have given this mission to me."
Leave it to me, haha, do you know how valuable this is?"
"Awesome." Ma Laoliu didn't ask what his mission was, and just gave him a thumbs up.
Sometimes it's like this, the more you ask people, the less they tell you.
If you don't ask, the other person will rush to tell you. It's not enough if you don't listen.
Human nature is base.
Ma Laoliu's response was too bland, which made Hong Gongcao a little unhappy.
He originally thought that Ma Laoliu would ask more questions, but Ma Laoliu didn't even ask.
This... made him feel a little uncomfortable, and he still wanted to show off!
"Don't you want to know what the secret mission is?" Hong Gongcao asked.
"I think." Ma Laoliu responded lightly.
"Then why don't you ask me."
"What secret mission?"
"Your attitude is so annoying... I won't tell most people, you old man... hiccup, after all, you are also from our northwest forces, so it doesn't matter if I tell you. This time, I
