Chapter 1645 Crazy hoarding of grain, coal, oil, charcoal...
The clouds are gathering.
The sky seemed to be covered by a huge gray cover, making people breathless.
Four helicopters flew between the earth and the clouds, heading towards the north.
In a helicopter.
Li Tie wrapped his outer clothes tightly and pushed his hat down.
In recent days, the weather temperature has dropped sharply.
The further north you go, the cooler the temperature becomes.
Li Tie looked at the gray earth outside the window with worry in his eyes.
The clouds are accumulating, and there is no telling what kind of natural disaster will break out.
But now the greenhouse cultivation in the north is on the right track, and they cannot all move back to the Oil City to concentrate on resisting like before.
However, the defensive strength of the northern border is the weakest compared to that of Oil City and the headquarters base.
The height of the fence is actually not low, but there are too few defenders.
At present, the total number of people in the North is less than 3,000.
It also includes agricultural planters, who account for the largest proportion.
Once in the future, as predicted by the Natural Disaster Research Institute, a frozen natural disaster breaks out, they may have to carry it themselves.
Li Tie looked at Li Haoran next to him. This time Li Haoran was stationed in the northern border, and he would inevitably have to advance and retreat with the northern border guards during natural disasters.
I don't know if I can resist it.
"Haoran, actually you don't need to go to the north. You can actually stay at the headquarters base or go to Oil City." Li Tie looked at Li Haoran and said.
Li Haoran was silent for a few seconds after hearing this.
"Sanshu and Zhengping are over in Oil City, but there are no members of our Li family in the north, so I want to go."
"I don't want to stay in the center of the headquarters base and enjoy it peacefully while watching you charge outside and open up new horizons."
When Li Tie heard what he said, he patted his arm.
"When you go to the north, you must pay attention to safety. Lao Xie is a nice person. You should discuss everything with him."
"Okay, I know." Li Haoran nodded.
After flying for more than three hours, the helicopter successfully arrived over the northern city.
There is a river running through the city in the north.
On both sides of the river, two large reservoirs were dug.
A small water plant was built in the inner city.
The source of this river is the Yishui Lake Reservoir in the northwest of the north, which is not very far away.
Some time ago, when both Da Zhangshu Base and Oil City were building water plants, the northern side was not lagging behind either.
Unlike Oil City and the headquarters base, there is no need to build ditches to divert water from the reservoir here in the north, saving more than half of the engineering work.
When the Northern Territory was first built, there was a river flowing from the reservoir, and the Northern Territory was built along this river.
Buzz buzz——
The helicopter landed on the tarmac in the northern city.
Zuo Ruxue and others from the transportation team who just arrived here yesterday also came to the apron to greet the city lord and the others.
The imperial concubine and Zuo Ruxue looked at Li Yu who came out of the helicopter with a strange color in their eyes.
Among the entire Da Zhangshu forces, Li Yu, a young, promising, tall and handsome man, was liked by many women, and he was like a public lover.
Now Li Yu is less than 30 years old, and he has already led everyone to create such a powerful camphor tree force in the apocalypse. He has a powerful army in his hands, and his own combat power is also extremely amazing.
Even though Li Yu is married now, there are still many women who have a crush on him.
It can be said that with Li Yu's current status, he only needs to wave his hand and countless women will fall in love with him.
After Li Yu got off the helicopter, a group of senior officials from the North came over.
"City Lord."
"City Lord."
...
Currently, the main person in charge of the Northern Territory is Lao Xie, who coordinates all affairs in the Northern Territory.
Lao Yi also stayed here before, but recently he went back to the headquarters base because of something else.
The people in charge of the military were mainly A Hong, Guo Peng, and Zhu Xiao.
In agriculture, the main ones are Xie Weishan and several of Zhang Qiwu's students Qin Luoshu.
There are very few industries in the north, and they are managed by a few people transferred from the headquarters base.
Li Yu looked at these familiar faces and nodded towards them with a smile.
This time he came here, in fact, in addition to the routine inspections that happened every once in a while,
I also personally urged Lao Xie and the others to prepare as soon as possible to withstand the freezing winter.
The clouds are so thick that if it rains or snows, this natural disaster will definitely not last short.
Resistance measures are comprehensive, not just building boilers for heating.
also,
It is also necessary to consider preventing snow collapse of the greenhouse.
Energy: storage of wood, coal, and oil.
Security of the fence: whether it can properly resist zombies and enemies.
.......
He looked at the combat militia personnel standing in two rows next to him, as well as some greenhouse workers.
He even pulled up a banner: Welcome the city lord and his party to the northern border for inspection.
On both sides, there are some flowers that I don’t know where they came from.
This scene is much bigger than the one in Oil City.
When Li Yu landed in Oil City by helicopter, his third uncle only gathered a few people to wait for him.
Sometimes, the third uncle just doesn't show up, and just asks Lao Luo or Ju Tianrui to pick him up.
Looking at this huge scene, Li Yu frowned and said to Lao Xie:
"Don't make such a fuss next time. Let them go about their own business. Don't delay their work just because I'm here."
Now that Da Zhangshu's power is becoming more and more powerful, Li Yu will receive a warm welcome and great pomp every time he goes to Oil City and the North Territory.
But in Li Yu's opinion, this is unnecessary.
In the early years, there were no such frivolous things. I don’t know when this kind of pomp and circumstance started to become more and more numerous and bigger.
Lao Xie nodded awkwardly and replied: "Okay, okay."
Li Yu stopped and spoke again seriously.
"I'm telling you seriously, not politely. Do you understand?"
Lao Xie said seriously: "I understand."
"City Lord, why don't we go to the conference room first and let me report to you on the recent situation in the North?"
Li Yu waved his hand and said:
"We won't have a meeting for the time being. Please take me to the greenhouse in the outer city to have a look. I heard from you two days ago that the food has been harvested. How much food is stored in the north now?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Lao Xie quickly replied:
"The last time the transportation brigade transported 2,600 tons of grain, there are still 14,600 tons of grain in the northern granary."
"The main crops harvested this time are corn, soybeans, sweet potatoes, and wheat. Rice planting has been completely cancelled."
"Well, let's go to the greenhouse and have a look." Li Yu nodded and said.
He walked towards the northern outer city.
After all, he has spent some time here and is no stranger to the North.
On the way out from the inner city to the outer city, Lao Xie and Xie Weishan simultaneously reported to Li Yu the situation in the north.
Xie Weishan followed Li Yu half a step behind.
"City Lord, we have already built the water plant you mentioned before. Now the crops have just been harvested and we have to start a new round of planting. We have been busy with this recently."
"You mentioned building a boiler heating system earlier. This is a big project. If we do this big project, I'm afraid it will delay the progress of agricultural planting..."
Li Yu stopped, turned his head and asked Lao Xie:
"Has the boiler heating system construction team sent from the headquarters base arrived here?"
"Here we are, we arrived the day before yesterday." Lao Xie took two steps and walked up to Li Yu and said.
"Um."
Li Yu pointed to the accumulated clouds in the sky and said:
"According to the analysis of the Headquarters Base Natural Disaster Research Institute, these clouds pose huge hidden dangers. I am afraid that in the near future, there will be natural disasters such as heavy rains and floods, or natural disasters caused by ice and extreme cold."
"Depending on the thickness of the clouds, this natural disaster may last for a longer time."
When Lao Xie and Xie Weishan heard about this, they looked shocked.
Will there be another natural disaster!?
This drought hasn’t even passed yet, but another natural disaster is about to break out!
If it weren't for the fact that there was a river in the north and a water plant was built, there would definitely be an extreme shortage of water in the north.
What's more, the survivors outside will definitely have a more difficult time.
Li Yu didn't tell them about this on the radio before, but he planned to tell them personally when he got here.
Li Yu looked at the two people and continued:
"The materials for the subsequent construction of the boiler heating system will be transported from the Oil City. Once they arrive, you will start construction."
"In addition, the greenhouse cultivation can be slowed down a bit, and the main focus is on building a good heating system."
Lao Xie asked:
"City Lord, are the natural disasters you just mentioned about heavy rains and floods or extreme cold and ice disasters? When will they come? How long will they last?"
Li Yu shook his head and said: "I don't know, the Natural Disaster Research Institute has not studied it yet."
"So, let's start making preparations first."
"You are all experienced in heavy rain and flood disasters, but for ice disasters, you must make various preparations."
"I'm not worried about food. The main thing is heating. Next, you have to stock up on wood, coal, oil, and most importantly, build boilers for heating."
Lao Xie felt a little heavy, and it took him a while to fully digest the news that Li Yu said.
"Okay, I understand, City Lord."
He originally wondered why the headquarters base would send a boiler team here. After all, there is no shortage of electricity in the north, there is very little industry, and there is no need to build boilers at this stage.
He did not expect that boilers were mainly built for heating.
In the north, a huge zombie generator system had already been set up when the greenhouse was completed.
It provides sufficient power for the entire northern territory, and can also maintain the ultraviolet lights on the fence and the power required for the mobile gate blades.
Due to the relatively small population here in the north, industrial electricity consumption is minimal.
The main power consumption is in agriculture and wall defense, and the power is still very sufficient.
But if a subsequent ice disaster breaks out, electric heaters will have to be turned on to heat residents in the north. If the power generated by zombie generators is also used, there may be a power shortage.
Therefore, just in case, the boiler heating system must be fixed.
In this way, even if there is a problem with the zombie generator, or the power generated is not enough to support the power demand in the north, these problems can be solved through the boiler.
Just as they were talking, they had arrived at the greenhouse in the outer city.
The greenhouse door is open at this time, and the agricultural personnel inside are operating tractors to loosen the soil.
"City Lord, this greenhouse is growing sweet potatoes. The area of a greenhouse is 10 acres, and it can probably produce..." Xie Weishan explained from the side.
The planting staff in the greenhouse saw Li Yu and others and ran over.
Li Yu stepped on the soil, squatted down, picked up a ball of soil, and rubbed it.
“How did you solve the fertilizer problem?”
Xie Weishan replied: "It mainly relies on chemical fertilizers transported from the headquarters base, combined with some of our synthetic organic fertilizers."
In the vernacular, artificial fertilizer is actually a kind of organic fertilizer made from human excrement as the main raw material.
The amount of feces produced by nearly 3,000 people every day is not a small number.
Tap tap tap——
Shan Zheng, with a scarf wrapped around his neck, walked over and said, "City Lord, Captain Xie..."
Lao Xie pointed at Shan Zheng and explained to Li Yu: "City Lord, this is Shan Zheng from the Storm Party. He was in..."
Li Yu stretched out his hand and shook his hand.
"I know him. I met him last time I came here."
It was rare for Shan Zheng to see the city lord, so naturally he would not miss this opportunity to express himself.
Holding Li Yu's hand tightly, he said: "City Lord, we have just finished the harvest. Last time we harvested nearly 16,000 tons of grain. The greenhouse is really great!"
"With greenhouses, we can continuously produce food..."
Li Yu smiled and asked:
"How is your life now materially?"
Shan Zheng raised his eyebrows and said happily:
"That's great. I can eat all my staple vegetables. How could I live like this before?"
"City Lord, let me tell you, back then we were..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After all, the planting area in the north is vast, and greenhouses have been built on most of the land, and the greenhouses are all filled with crops.
The grain output in one quarter alone is more than 10,000 tons, which is in line with Li Yu's positioning of the northern border: a grain production area.
Now, it has become worthy of its name.
As someone who is responsible for planting here, there will naturally be no shortage of food.
The people staying here are all level 4 or above, there are no level 5 personnel.
Although the personnel stationed in the northern border cannot enjoy the prosperity and convenience of the trading market business district, they cannot also enjoy the strong sense of security provided by the headquarters base.
However, when they stay here, they have no worries about food and drink, and no pressure.
And because of the implementation of the points system, they have no place to spend points here. Food and accommodation are included, and the points cannot be spent at all, so their points are very high.
Their points are not transaction points, but contribution points.
The steady collection of contribution points has brought many of them closer and closer to the amount of points required for third-level personnel.
If this rate continues, in three or four months, their contribution points should be able to reach the level 3 personnel standard. At that time, they can apply for assessment, and if they pass the assessment, they will be able to become level 3 personnel.
This speed is almost the same as those of other former northern affiliated forces that moved to the trading bazaar.
Most of the other affiliated forces that moved to the trading bazaar participated in the construction of the trading bazaar, and there are still many people in the construction process.
Contribution points will be awarded for construction and planting tasks.
In addition, some special tasks released by the trading market will also give contribution points. Some of the collection tasks are mainly in extremely short supply and are urgently needed.
Therefore, there are now some people in the trading market who want to upgrade, and they aim to contribute points to do so.
Some people don't care about these, as long as they are points, as long as they can be used to buy food.
For example, Chen Dachui and his friends have moved south. They now operate two stores. Although they have gained a large number of transaction points, they have not contributed any points.
Without contributing points, they cannot upgrade.
Moreover, contribution points cannot be bought or sold and can only be obtained by performing tasks.
These are two paths, somewhat similar to those in business and those in politics and the military.
As long as you upgrade step by step, enjoying the corresponding benefits is only one aspect, and there is also power.
Li Yu listened to Shan Zheng's talk while thinking about things.
When he finally stopped, he patted the back of his hand and quietly pulled it out of his hand.
After shaking hands for a few minutes, there was no one left.
"Work hard and the base will not treat you badly. When you are promoted to level 3 personnel, I will issue badges to you when the time comes!" Li Yu patted Shan Zheng on the shoulder and said.
When Shan Zheng heard this, his eyes lit up.
"City Lord, are you telling the truth?"
"Of course it's true." Li Yu smiled.
"Great, we will definitely continue to work hard!"
