Huachen drove the helicopter and left the Da Zhangshu base.
Since the Li Yu crash, helicopters have always started with two helicopters.
Therefore, in addition to Brilliance, there was another helicopter accompanying him.
Naturally, it is impossible for two helicopters to fly to the north empty-handed.
So they filled it overnight last night and recently produced the coagulant and disinfectant needed by the water plant.
Every flight mission cannot be empty, and some supplies needed by other sub-bases will always be brought there.
This time is no exception.
Two helicopters were flying in the sky, and the bare soil on the ground was dry.
The weeds on the abandoned fields were withered and the yellow soil was cracked.
The impact of drought on the environment is slowly becoming apparent.
The sun is scorching, it's already the end of October, but the temperature is still above 30 degrees.
After flying for three hours, the helicopter arrived in Oil City.
Zhong Chuchu and the tarmac staff went over, removed the things from the helicopter, and filled the helicopter with fuel.
Huachen and three other pilots got off the helicopter.
"Director Zhong, do you know where He Ma and the others are?"
Zhong Chuchu raised her head when she heard this, pointed in the direction of the canteen and said:
"At this point, they should be in the cafeteria."
"Where's Director Luo?"
"Should be there too."
"OK, thanks."
Hua Chen hasn't seen He Ma for a long time. The two of them had a good relationship before.
I have always been in Lao Luo's team before, but because we live in two places, it always takes a month or two before we can see him again.
Now He Ma is based in Oil City and is responsible for helicopter-related tasks.
"Let's go to the cafeteria to find Lao He and the others."
Hua Chen led the three drivers towards the canteen.
Twelve noon.
The cafeteria was crowded, and there was a long queue at the window for serving food.
Hua Chen looked around in the canteen of Nuo University.
"Lao Hua! What are you looking at? Here!" He Ma saw Hua Chen at the door of the cafeteria and quickly stood up and shouted.
After hearing the sound, Hua Chen looked and saw He Ma in the southwest corner of the cafeteria.
At that dining table, besides He Ma, he also saw Director Luo.
Seeing familiar faces, Hua Chen and others were a little excited and trotted towards them.
"Team Luo..."
"Team Luo."
"Team Luo."
Luo Sanchang put down his spoon, saw Hua Chen and the others and said with a smile:
"Coming, how long will you stay?"
"An hour and a half. We'll go to the north in an hour and a half." Hua Chen replied quickly.
They used to be soldiers under Lao Luo, and they were members of the commando team led by Lao Luo.
So they habitually call Lao Luo Captain Luo.
Lao Luo thought for a while and said, "One and a half hours, time is very tight. You guys hurry up and get some food. After you get the food, come over and have a chat. Then you can rest for half an hour."
It’s very tiring to fly a helicopter continuously, especially since it takes a whole day to fly from the headquarters base to the northern border.
"Okay."
Hua Chen said that he was going to line up.
Lao Luo frowned when he saw the long queue. It would take half an hour to wait in such a long queue. It was the peak meal period now.
So he stood up, walked to Hua Chen and said, "Follow me."
Not knowing what was going on, Huachen and the others followed Lao Luo to the kitchen in the back canteen.
"They are pressed for time. They will fly to the north in an hour and a half. The queue outside is too long. Now you can bring me some food for them."
Su Qian saw that it was Director Luo and did not dare to refuse after hearing what he said.
As a high-ranking member of the Great Zhangshu Force, Lao Luo still has some rights.
Su Qian personally packed four generous meals for Hua Chen and the others.
"Thank you." Hua Chen thanked Su Qian.
Su Qian waved her hand and said it was nothing.
On the way back to the dining table, Lao Luo asked with a smile: "The headquarters base is also building a water plant. How is the progress?"
While Hua Chen was carrying the food, he remembered the scene at the construction site on the ground when he left the headquarters base today.
"The trench is still being dug, but it should be opened soon."
"Well, you came here mainly to deliver coagulant and disinfectant?"
"No. This is by the way."
Hua Chen continued: "The president asked us to go to the north to take He Chao back."
"He Chao?" Lao Luo was stunned.
He knew about Jia Tan's rebellion, and it was a pity that He Chao was dismissed from his post.
He Chao is considered an old man at Da Zhangshu Base. When he first joined Da Zhangshu Base, it was He Chao who received him and assigned him housing.
If you have any problems, go to He Chao, and He Chao can help them solve them quickly.
So he had a very good impression of He Chao and felt that He Chao was a very capable person.
Lao Luo thought as he sat on the long stool behind the dining table.
"Take He Chao back to the headquarters? What are you going to do?"
Hua Chen also sat down and put the food on the table.
"It is said that the buffer city lacks an internal affairs manager. Maybe this is why he came back." Hua Chen thought for a while and replied.
"Oh, that's it."
Lao Luo nodded, thoughtfully.
He Chao stayed at the Da Zhangshu base for many years. Although some changes occurred that caused him to leave the headquarters base, he was transferred back after only three or four months.
It seems that the city lord still recognizes He Chao.
If ordinary people are transferred away from the center of power, it will be difficult for them to go back.
He Chao is different.
Everyone is eating here, reminiscing and chatting.
The content of the chat started with emotion, and then quickly focused on the construction of the water plant.
He Ma opened his mouth and said:
"The water plant has been opened now, and the pier seems to have been built in the past two days, right? Team Luo, you have more news. When will the water plant be completed?"
Lao Luo finished the last grain of rice.
He smashed his mouth and said:
"What's the date today?"
"October 21st." Hua Chen replied.
Lao Luo did the calculations and said: "The minister's order to Jie Changshan is for one month. It is estimated that it will be completed on the 6th and 7th of next month."
He Ma said leisurely: "I heard from the survivors who came in from outside that there is no water in many places outside now, and they can only go to large rivers or lakes to get water."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! As soon as this statement came out, it immediately aroused everyone's discussion.
"I've also heard that if the drought continues like this, big problems may occur."
"Yes, so now the headquarters base and Oil City have started to build water plants."
"Don't worry, after the water plant is built, the water supply problem will be solved!" Lao Luo comforted everyone.
"But what if it never rains?" someone suddenly asked.
As soon as this question came up, everyone became quiet.
It hasn't rained, so...
When Hua Chen thought of this consequence, he shuddered.
If it never rained, what would the whole world look like... He couldn't imagine, but many, many people would definitely die.
Even human extinction is possible.
Lao Luo broke the silence, "It won't stop raining forever. It's not scientifically logical to stop raining. Water vapor evaporates and forms clouds. The small raindrops in the clouds are affected by gravity and will naturally fall."
"But......"
Hua Chen asked back: "But the natural disasters have been frequent in recent years, and it doesn't follow the logic of nature."
Lao Luo couldn't answer. What he just answered was already his limit. He only knew so much about natural science.
"Why do you think so much? This is the job of the environmental science experts at the headquarters base. Besides, have we ever been defeated by natural disasters so far?" Lao Luo said firmly.
"Haha, yes."
Everyone jokingly ignored the topic.
"Hua Chen, if you go to the north this time, you can help me..."
.......
At the same time, on the shore of Nam Van Lake.
Xie Changshan personally directed the construction workers and arranged the laying of cables.
These cables are buried under the cover.
"Over there, the crane is pulling the roof frame over!" Jie Changshan shouted towards the crane on the right.
The huge hook of the crane hooked the roof frame and slowly moved to the construction site at the end of the pier.
The construction of the dock is very important, and Xie Changshan has been staying here for the past two days to keep an eye on it.
The construction of the tap water factory in the trading market was handed over to Ding Wu.
As for the construction of other projects in the trading market, he left it to Fang Jingxin.
After two days of construction, they have built a 20-meter-long and 10-meter-wide pier.
The total area reaches 200 square meters.
The power distribution room and water pump room are currently being built at the end of the pier.
Once the drought continues and the lake water level drops and it is no longer possible to drain water into the ditch through the height difference, water from the lake will have to be pumped out through water pumps.
The pier they built is 20 meters deep into the lake, and the deepest lake bottom the pier touches has reached a depth of 12 meters.
The distribution room and water pump room were constructed without steel frame structures.
After all, we are by the lake, and it is damp and easy to corrode steel.
So the small room they built used the strongest reinforced concrete structure.
The wall thickness reaches nearly half a meter.
This room has been basically built, it just needs to be topped off.
After the roof is capped, all we need to do is send the water pumps and electrical equipment here.
When building this pier, they took into account flood periods. In order to prevent the power distribution room from being flooded by the lake, the height of the pier is five meters higher than the highest water level.
"Bang!"
A zombie just emerged from the lake and was shot dead by the people of the Civil Armed Forces Brigade.
In the past few days, they have been here every day to protect the construction team and ensure their safety.
Ding Meng looked at the house that was about to be completed, turned to Xia Liangfeng behind him and said:
"Lao Xia, if we can cap it today, I won't come tomorrow, and the security work here will be left to you."
"Okay, no problem." Xia Liangfeng nodded.
Most of the zombies in the lake were lured away by Ding Meng and burned to death a few kilometers away.
There are far fewer zombies in the lake now, so the pressure is very low.
"Be careful!" Xia Liangfeng's pupils shrank as he looked at the dock. He saw a construction worker carrying a formwork and fell.
The body fell towards the edge of the pier.
Wow!
His whole body fell towards the pier, and when he was about to fall into the lake, his hands grabbed the edge of the pier.
The person who was following him to move the formwork quickly ran over, took his hand, and pulled him up.
call--
Xia Liangfeng breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that the construction worker was successfully rescued.
This is at the end of the pier, and the water below is 12 meters deep. If you fall in, you will definitely be bitten to death by the zombies below.
Swimming 20 meters from there to the shore, even if there is only one zombie in the middle, it may kill him.
The worker who fell down had lingering fears, his legs were trembling, and he stared at the edge of the pier in a daze.
Obviously frightened.
"Hao Cao Cao, I almost died when I stepped on the horse."
Xie Changshan walked over and patted him on the shoulder, "Be careful."
Then he pointed to the worker behind him who was carrying the formwork together, "Take him down to rest."
If he is frightened like this, if he continues, he will probably lose his mind and be prone to accidents. It is better to let him go down.
After they went down, Xie Changshan took out his loudspeaker and shouted to the construction workers behind him:
"Slow down the transportation speed, don't get close to the edge of the pier, try to go to the middle."
He looked at the edge of the pier, frowned, and said secretly: "How about the entire guardrail..."
Time passes bit by bit.
The roof formwork of this house is gradually being built.
They poured concrete directly on top of the formwork,
Once the concrete hardens, it will form a solid roof.
On the other side, near the right side of the pier, they drove pilings there to install the barrier.
These barriers have four layers in total, from thick to thin.
This is to prevent zombies in the lake and some debris in the lake from flooding into the ditch and causing blockage.
Now the ditch has been opened, but a thick cement steel plate nearly one meter thick blocks the flowing water.
This steel plate is equipped with an automatic switch device, and the line is led to the oil city.
When you press the switch in the oil city, this cement steel plate opens, and the water in the lake will flow into the ditch and flow to the water plant in the trading market.
Closed, the cement steel plate is closed, and the lake water will no longer flow to the trading market.
It's getting late and it's time to call it a day.
The roof between the power distribution and water pump has been grouted, and you just need to wait for the roof behind to dry naturally.
The formwork can be removed and a solid dock house can be built.
Drop-off--
A long whistle sounded!
Xie Changshan took a loudspeaker and shouted: "End the work!"
呲——
The crane's boom reached the shore and stopped.
The sound of machinery running stopped within a minute after Jie Changshan called out to stop work.
Jie Changshan looked at the completed pier and pier huts and felt very happy.
"The water intake is generally completed, and now we are waiting for the factory buildings in the trading market to be built!"
He held the trumpet and walked briskly towards the shore.
At this rate, he would be able to build the water plant in less than a month.
The construction of the most dangerous pier water intake is almost completed.
The construction of the factory building at the trading market has been completed day and night for more than ten days in two shifts. It is now almost half complete.
"Chief Engineer Xie, I don't need to come tomorrow, right?" Ding Meng waited beside the car until Xie Changshan spoke.
After hearing this, Jie Changshan thought for a while and said:
"Okay, Captain Ding has been lucky these days. Thank you. If it weren't for you, the construction of our dock would have been very troublesome."
A few days ago, the scene of a group of zombies emerging from the bottom of the lake still remained in his mind.
If Ding Meng had not lured away most of the zombies in advance that day, the construction of the dock would probably have encountered obstacles from a large number of zombies.
"Let's go, get in the car." Ding yanked open the door and let Xie Changshan get in the car.
"Thank you." Xie Changshan said flattered.
He sat in the car and looked at the long pier, feeling a sense of pride.
In such a short period of time, and there were still zombies in the lake, the dock was built.
