But after the third uncle and Lao Qin left, the remaining Lao Xie, Lai Dongsheng and others also received Li Yu's notice and returned to the base.
There was no need to worry anymore. With the abilities of Third Uncle and Lao Qin, they could go anywhere as long as they didn't encounter extremely dangerous situations.
After Xiao Jun and his party left the government building, they headed straight to Hunan Province. No one spoke in the car and it seemed unusually quiet.
The people I met just now still feel a little frightened until now.
Logically speaking, the numbers of both sides are about the same, but for some reason, there is a vague sense of crisis. Xiao Jun was even sure just now that if they made any changes, they would not have much power to resist.
But it’s not clear where the sense of crisis comes from.
Huang Zheng, who was sitting next to him, asked: "Brother Jun, when we go back this time, shall we report this situation directly to the battalion commander?"
Xiao Jun thought for a while and said after a while: "Well, let's talk to the battalion commander in private. The personnel composition at the base is too complicated. Let's talk to battalion commander Ju first to see his opinions and ideas."
Huang Zheng was quiet for a while and said no more.
Outside the window, bright sunlight shines into the car.
The atmosphere was a bit heavy, so I opened the car windows and blew in the air from the window. The wind blew in and it was much cooler, which made it feel better.
........
It's July and it's almost August.
The temperature is increasing every day.
Third uncle and Lao Qin have been gone for 12 hours.
Adhering to the principle of caution, they followed from a distance and never appeared in their sight.
But based on the details, traces, and tracking along the way.
After returning to the base, Li Yu took a look at the construction of the Second Outer City.
Under the planning and management of Ding Jiu and Li's father, the foundation of the accommodation building in the outer city had been laid in a few days.
At the same time, due to the previous locust disaster, some crops were lost, so in addition to the above-ground planting areas, they also began to develop underground and build fortresses.
This is a big project.
The civil engineering involved is not that simple. If you want to build an underground bunker, you must ensure that extreme weather can be taken into account, with high temperatures above 40 degrees and low temperatures below minus 40 degrees.
There are also ventilation, lighting, water leakage prevention, etc., all aspects must be considered.
Two college students who followed He Bing were majoring in civil engineering, and now they were directly brought over to work together.
In addition to them, Ding Jiu and Li's father, who have many years of engineering experience, plus five or six workers who have been following Ding Jiu in construction.
There are also four or five people who followed He Chao and came out of Jiefang City. They also have experience in engineering construction, but they are mainly steel workers, cement workers, and pouring workers.
However, Xu Zhen and Pan Hao were recruited from Lao Qin, one was a drainage engineer and the other was a construction engineer.
Scattered, plus some people in the base who are temporarily not on duty or doing other production work.
There are a total of 6 builders, engineers and 20 construction workers.
These people are currently focusing their main energy on building the second outer city.
But there are also other people who have nothing to do. After rotation, they can keep the base under construction every day. There are about 35 people working on the construction work.
He studied civil engineering and had some design skills. With Ding Jiu's many years of practical experience and the joint efforts of everyone, he was able to come up with a bunker architectural design plan.
The design of this bunker originated from Ding Jiu's suggestion at the beginning. He suggested that the bunker should not be placed below the residents of the Second Outer City.
Instead, the space in other parts of the second outer city was used to place the entrance in the urn city between the second outer city and the inner city.
According to the designed plan.
The main function of this built bunker is to build underground plantations, and it also serves as an emergency evacuation facility.
The depth is 12 meters and the floor height is 4 meters, with a total of three floors.
The first floor area is 5 acres, approximately 3,000 square meters.
The total area is 15 acres, nearly 10,000 square meters.
This is a huge project and requires massive amounts of raw materials.
Therefore, for now, it is better to build the residential buildings in the outer city first.
Everything is going on in full swing.
The food pressure and management pressure brought by the number of people will indeed make people feel a little breathless.
If it weren't for the thousands of tons of grain he got by luck in Luo Tianyan, Li Yu wouldn't have planned to expand with so many people.
If you don’t do anything else, you can’t live.
However, although the large number of people brings pressure, there are also a large number of people, and there are also some surprises and talents in some industries.
Things that might have been impossible to do in the past are much easier now that there are more people.
These hundreds of tons of grain are Li Yu's confidence.
But if we want to continue to develop, we must achieve a balance between food supply and demand.
At present, including the inner and outer cities, including above-ground and underground planting areas, including potatoes, sweet potatoes, rice and other staple foods, there are 77 acres of production area.
Under the calculation conditions of two or three crops a year.
A rough calculation shows that it can fully support the more than 200 people currently in the base, and there may even be a lot of surplus, enough for 400 to 500 people to survive.
However, if Da Zhangshu Base wants to further develop and maintain its dominant position in Xincheng, it will cooperate with the people of Da Zhangshu Base and exchange grain for materials needed by other bases.
Food is also needed!
Not to mention anything else, the food distributed to the more than 100 non-staff personnel every month is very small for an individual person, but the total number of people also requires a lot of food.
This kind of cooperation also reduces a lot of burdens on the base. At least it can use these people to help do some things without paying too much food.
The simplest way is to collect construction raw materials, which can save a lot of manpower for the Da Zhangshu Base.
It is equivalent to saying that one person's share of food is exchanged for 4 to 6 people's manpower.
On the busy construction site, many people simply work shirtless.
Yesterday's temperature was still at a maximum of 37 degrees, but today it has soared to 40 degrees.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The heat is unbearable.
Many people were sweating profusely. When Li Yu inspected, he reminded Ding Jiu:
"The schedule must be arranged well. In the morning and evening, you can do outdoor work first, and during the day you can do indoor work. Try not to let the brothers suffer from heat stroke.
In addition, people with heat stroke are also equipped with relevant heat stroke medicine, right?"
Ding Jiu said: "I understand, this is the arrangement now. As for heatstroke medicine, last year, I used a lot of heatstroke prevention medicines such as ten drops of water, and I still have them.
But there was an old Chinese medicine doctor on He Chao's side. It had been hot these two days and there were few zombies at noon, so he picked some herbs near the base.
After steaming it, I drank some and felt the effect was good."
Li Yu nodded and said, "Is that old Chinese medicine doctor called Hua Gan?"
Ding Jiu smiled and said: "Yes, I am 58 years old this year, and my health is also very good. I can't tell that I am this age at all."
An image of a man who looked to be in his forties and had a goatee flashed through Li Yu's mind. He nodded and said, "Okay, let him continue. Also... forget it, just let him come over." ."
Ding Jiu said okay and then got off the fence.
five minutes later.
Ding Jiu led a man who was a little thin but looked energetic.
Wearing a washed white shirt, her hair was combed back meticulously.
Li Yu thought to himself: Who the hell is this 58-year-old man? He looks exactly like a 45-year-old middle-aged man.
When Li Yu saw Hua Gan coming up, he also stood up and greeted politely: "Are you Mr. Hua? I heard from Uncle Ding that in the past two days, you have made some traditional Chinese medicine to prevent heatstroke and given it to the brothers. The effect is very good. It’s really amazing…”
Li Yu has a very good attitude and says a wave of rainbow farts skillfully.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Hua's originally calm expression just now turned into panic when he saw Li Yu like this.
He measured himself and avoided Li Yu's thanks, but half-hunched over and said: "Mr. Li, you are really too polite.
I'm just an old man. If you hadn't been willing to take me in, no one at my age would have wanted me, and no one would have given me a bite to eat.
I am very happy to be able to play some role. Everyone has contributed. Previously, He Chao took care of me when I was older, but I can't eat for free.
Mr. Li, please stop saying thank you. If you want to thank me, I have to thank you first."
Seeing his attitude, Li Yu felt a little relieved.
Before the end of the world, ability and character are sometimes more important. Leaders want people who can solve problems, but character is secondary.
But in the last days, character is definitely more important than ability.
In this dangerous apocalypse, if you are not careful, you will die. No matter how capable a person is, if his character is questionable or he is arrogant, Li Yu will not want him.
Such an attitude and awareness are very good.
So I asked Hua Gan, "What is the job you have been assigned recently?"
Hua Gan said:
"I mainly go out to collect supplies and construction materials, and then work on building the second outer city. I am mainly responsible for pouring cement."
Li Yu was silent for a while and then said:
"Let's do this. You set up a small Chinese medicine clinic here and place it in the Wengcheng. I will ask Li Tie to take you there later.
You will be released from work next, and your main work will be to establish this traditional Chinese medicine room, including the production and collection of medicinal materials. When the time comes, you can also talk to He Chao and ask him to go outside.
Check out those Chinese medicine clinics and bring back all the medicinal materials that have not been soaked in water and can still be used.
Hmm... In addition, you are also setting up an advanced elective subject here, which mainly teaches some knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine, so that some people can be trained."
For now, since there are children of all ages, their education in the base is divided into three stages.
The first one is primary education, the main subjects are Chinese, mathematics, fighting, marksmanship, and first aid response.
The second is intermediate education. At this time, you can make several choices: including: mechanical maintenance, engineering construction, agricultural production, medical biology...
But in the second stage, there is still fighting and spear skills.
The third stage relies on the upgrade of the second stage and takes over.
The current education is completely based on learning from practice, combining theory and practical operation.
Try to educate some talents who can directly invest in the shortest possible time.
Foreign languages and the like are completely removed.
But at the same time, in the advanced learning courses, there are two sections, one theoretical and one practical.
In the current situation, there is not much need for theoretical research.
So focus on practice.
Hearing Li Yu's proposal, Hua Gan was instantly excited and said to Li Yu tremblingly:
"If, if that's the case, that would be great."
For him, there are only two things that he can't let go of, one is his granddaughter, and the other is a Chinese medicine doctor. He is afraid that the inheritance will be lost in the end of the world.
At this time, Li Yu's suggestion moved him extremely.
