Chapter 556 Harvesting hundreds of tons of steel, another surprise comes
The next evening.
A motorcade drove towards Da Zhangshu.
There was an endless convoy, with twenty or thirty cars in total.
Lao Lu, who was at the front, had a happy face.
This trip is well worth it.
...
Three o'clock in the afternoon.
Outside the base, a convoy returned in great force.
It's Lao Lu, Xiao Jun, He Chao and the others who are back.
This trip out on a mission was very successful.
They brought back hundreds of tons of steel, as well as some precision equipment for steel smelting.
There are also some miscellaneous things collected from the factory.
The door to the base opened with a bang.
Li Yu personally welcomed their return and waited for them in the urn city.
The vehicle stopped.
Lao Lu and others got out of the car and walked towards Li Yu.
"There was no accident this time, right?" Li Yu also walked over.
Lao Lu looked at Xiao Jun, then looked back at He Chao, and then said to Li Yu:
"There were some twists and turns, but there were no casualties. The annual output of this steel plant can reach 50,000 tons.
It’s just that there are less than 2,000 tons stored there, and we also found 1,000 tons of coal and iron ore.”
"Coal?" Upon hearing this, Li Yu's eyes flashed with surprise.
Coal can not only be used to make steel, but can also be burned to generate heat and generate electricity.
At the current base, after installing photovoltaic solar panels several times, the electricity generated exceeds 350,000 kilowatt-hours a year.
Wind energy generators added later:
A 2MW unit can generate 2,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity per hour at rated wind speed. Wind power can generate 63,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity a year. There are three units in the base.
It can generate approximately 190,000 kilowatt hours of electricity.
In addition to other supporting hydropower generation, there are also coal and diesel power generation.
The total power generation capacity of the Dazhangshu base can reach as much as 750,000 yuan a year.
This is after several additions of power generation equipment and many more ways of generating electricity.
With the current electricity consumption in the base, we can maintain the lighting needed by everyone on weekdays, as well as the electricity consumption in the underground plantations.
Including air conditioning and constant temperature in the warehouse.
Electronic equipment in the base, etc.
It's enough for now.
But because photovoltaic power generation accounts for the majority, they have to try to save as much electricity as possible when it rains for days.
In the base, the hundreds of tons of coal that Li Yu hoarded in the early days were never used.
It's because Li Yu knows that there will definitely be more nervous times later.
Li Yu has been holding on to the coal stored in the village. He will not use it as much as possible.
Now I heard that there is still coal, which is a surprise!
You know, there are few coal mines in the south.
Where they are located, although there are huge reserves of rare earth and tungsten minerals, coal resources are relatively scarce.
Thousands of tons of coal are enough to generate three million kilowatt hours of electricity.
Based on the current electricity consumption, plus the bunker planting that will be built soon in the cave.
Electricity usage may increase.
But these coals are enough for them to not have to worry about electricity in the past two years.
Of course, this is on the premise that their base does not expand again.
Regardless, this is excellent news.
When Lao Lu saw Li Yu so excited, he naturally understood why.
Electricity is very important, and he feels this deeply.
Then he said:
"I also brought back the steel plant and some coal generators.
Just the coal and iron ore, because the steel had to be transported first, were packed back into a truck.
So, my idea is that it’s best to go there a few times and move all the coal and iron ore back as soon as possible.”
Li Yu nodded excitedly and said:
"Okay, okay! You have made a great contribution this time!"
Lao Lu thought for a while and said to Li Yu:
"This time, thanks to Xiao Jun, they opened the door. And if it hadn't been for Xiao Jun's reminder, we might not have been able to bring back so many people."
"What's going on?" Li Yu frowned and asked.
"That steel plant is too big. After we lured the zombies away during the day, we went in and were about to move the steel. However, the sound of machinery attracted zombies out again. We couldn't kill them all, and they kept killing them intermittently.
Later, Xiao Jun gave us a heads-up and suggested using drones to lure these zombies out at night. Otherwise, our transportation would not go so smoothly."
Hearing what Lao Lu said, Xiao Jun quickly said:
"This is all thanks to everyone. If it weren't for He Chao and others' skillful operation of the equipment, we wouldn't be able to move it all in a month just by using our hands."
He Chao said with a smile: "Captain Xiao, please stop being so modest. It's really thanks to you this time. Your people rush to the front when facing zombies. I, Lao He, do this to you."
Then he gave a thumbs up gesture.
Li Yu listened to their few words and naturally understood what was going on.
Looking at Xiao Jun, I became more and more appreciative.
He is adaptable and courageous, and does not have the behavior of leaving his teammates behind when in danger. This is what Li Yu values the most.
So he said to the three of them:
"You all have made great contributions. Let's do this. You will team up later and carry back the remaining steel and coal. Later, I will give you rewards to celebrate your achievements.
For the time being, tell me what you want? As long as I can do it, I can do it!"
Hearing what Li Yu said, Lao Lu's expression moved slightly.
He said with a smile:
"Don't say that. If you really want to think of it as a sacrifice, my daughter Xiaofei and I, as well as a group of brothers, during the most difficult time, Mr. Li, you accepted us, allowed us to survive, and gave us a safe and stable place to live.
, and also takes care of our food and accommodation.
Don't talk about my contribution, you are more tired than me. If we really want to count, we still owe you a life."
When Li Yu heard this, he pretended to be angry and said to Lao Lu: "Speak quickly."
Only then did Lao Lu wink and say:
"Here, Lao Lu, I usually like to smoke two puffs of cigarettes. The base's monthly quota is too small. Can you give me another one?"
Li Yu heard this and said with a smile: "Here, I'll give you three."
Lao Lu smiled, and the wrinkles on his face turned into a ball.
"What about you?" Li Yu looked at He Chao.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He Chao did not hesitate and wanted to refuse. After all, his inner thoughts were the same as Lao Lu. When they first joined the Da Zhangshu Base, they were much better than Lao Lu.
Lu Yao was even worse.
At that time, they were on the verge of starving to death, and his daughter was also on the verge of starving to death.
After a group of brothers came out of Jiefang City, they were homeless and had nowhere to go.
At that most difficult time, it was Li Yu who saved them.
Now he has no shortage of He Chao.
Nothing is missing.
money?
house?
Car?
What is the use?
A safe environment. Although he currently lives in the outer city, he also has his own room in the inner city and can enter it at any time.
To the brothers?
He feels no shame and feels that it is the right choice for him to take his brothers to join the Da Zhangshu Base.
To my daughter?
It was his past extravagant wish for his daughter to enter the inner city, have a stable environment, be accompanied by a group of peers, and learn various skills and knowledge, but now his dream has come true.
This base is just like what Li Yu said.
Like a big family.
Many times during missions, Li Yu always rushed to the front.
The atmosphere of the base is harmonious.
Although the distinction between internal and external personnel has been established, and even the distinction between non-staff personnel.
But they didn't say anything, everything was done according to contributions and rules.
fair!
He Chao hesitated for a long time and didn't speak.
Li Yu said a little funny: "What's wrong? If I give you a chance, why don't you think about it carefully? What do you want?"
A bitter smile appeared on He Chao's face: "I have everything I want. Isn't this making things difficult for me..."
When Li Yu heard this, the smile on his face became even brighter.
The reason why He Chao is reused is because he is sensible and grateful.
And the most important thing is to know that you are satisfied!
Human desires are endless. If you have something, you will want more.
Desires that can never be satisfied will breed comparison. In the comparison, you will gradually lose yourself and your happiness.
It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
But in the end times.
Only after experiencing the hardships of survival can we realize how rare it is to have a safe place where we can have enough to eat.
Outside the base, there are dangerous zombies everywhere, and the survivors they occasionally encounter who are struggling to their death will make them feel that they are so happy.
If you cannot see suffering and how difficult other people's lives are, you will naturally not feel happiness.
But in such a crisis that always hangs over human beings, they feel that it is so happy to have enough food and sleep comfortably!
Compared with people outside the Da Zhangshu base, they are already living very well.
And this is also Li Yu's biggest goal since his rebirth in the apocalypse.
Take your family and friends with you and live well in the apocalypse.
Live well.
It is no longer easy to live in the apocalypse.
Living well is even more difficult.
…
"No, you have to have one."
He Chaoyue didn't want the reward, so Li Yu wanted to give it to him.
He Chao looked at Li Yu with admiration and gratitude, hesitated for a while and said, "I want to have a big drink with Mr. Li!"
When you meet a close friend, a thousand cups are too little.
Being able to clink glasses and drink with people you admire and admire, and call each other brothers, is a kind of joy in life.
When Li Yu heard this, he remembered that there seemed to be no banquet held in the base for a long time.
He smiled and patted He Chao on the shoulder and said, "Okay, I'll definitely have a drink with you later."
He Chao nodded heavily with admiration and gratitude in his eyes.
Xiao Jun was a little emotional.
With his life experience, how could he not see the true feelings between Lao Lu and He Chao.
He was more curious and surprised about how capable Li Yu was and how he could make them so convinced and even worship him.
Xiao Jun was also a little envious.
The postures of Lao Lu and He Chao did not seem to be fake.
Such a harmonious scene full of brotherly love and true love between laughter is so rare in this apocalyptic world.
Looking back on more than a year in this apocalypse, he protected the "scientific researchers" all the way from the east, and then later he and the battalion commander were confronted tit for tat by Gan Shang.
Whether it was the rescued refugees or the seemingly amiable Gan Shang, they all regarded them as people who could be used.
Taken advantage of.
If there is danger, they will come.
If you have food, keep it for yourself.
A little more stable, maybe the true colors will be revealed one by one.
And people like Li Yu and others, whether from Lao Lu, or He Chao, or that Lao Qin, or even the Zhu Zhu that they met before.
Everyone respects Li Yu.
At this time, he now understood some reasons from the mouths of Lao Lu and He Chao.
Treat sincerity with sincerity.
Although it is difficult to join me, as long as you join, I will treat you as one of my own.
This big camphor tree base was better than he imagined.
If nothing else, there is one thing that kills the Western Conference instantly.
Enough...United!!
Very united!
It has been tightly twisted into a rope.
Li Yu saw Xiao Jun in a daze, waved his palm in front of his eyes, and said:
"Captain Xiao, it's your turn. You don't want anything, right? Haha."
Xiao Jun came back to his senses, scratched his head in a rare moment, pondered for a second or two and said, "We are actually very grateful to Mr. Li."
"No, don't imitate him. This is too..."
Xiao Jun smiled and interrupted:
"Actually, I am really, really grateful to Mr. Li for telling us the truth before. Otherwise, we would have been kept in the dark and foolishly taken advantage of.
Protect those losers and think they are real scientific researchers.
In addition, we actually brought trouble, which we feel a little guilty about."
"No, it's not the trouble you brought. Some people should be killed! That Gan Gaojie must die." Li Yu said calmly, with an edge in his words.
To put it nicely, Li Yu wants to express his grudges, but to put it harshly, it means that flaws must be repaid.
In the eyes of outsiders, Li Yu is very small.
But in the eyes of the Da Zhangshu base, this is a person who protects himself and protects his calf.
As long as you dare to hurt my people, I don't care who you are. If I can kill you today, I won't leave you until tomorrow.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It gives the people of Da Zhangshu Base a sense of security.
Xiao Jun heard what Li Yu said and understood why the people at Da Zhangshu Base were so united.
"Okay, tell me, what reward do you want?" Li Yu asked.
Xiao Jun didn't know how to answer for a while.
According to his true inner thoughts, after seeing how good the Da Zhangshu Base was, he naturally wanted to join it as soon as possible.
What's more, scientific researcher Ma Di is also inside.
Once you join, you can legitimately protect Madi and do some things.
But he knew very well that Lao Lu had told him clearly.
Everything at Da Zhangshu Base is done according to the rules.
To join, you must make contributions and score points. Only after you pass the assessment can you join.
food?
He knew that for the time being, there was no shortage of people like him.
After this operation, we have to go out again, although Lao Lu and He Chao are also involved in the operation.
But with the supplies obtained through these actions, there will definitely be no shortage of food for myself.
Needless to say, the Da Zhangshu Base, which pays attention to such rules, will definitely provide them with food.
What should I mention?
Xiao Jun was a little confused.
Suddenly he thought of the battalion commander and the others, who had come from Chengzizhoutou. He didn't know how the battalion commander and the others were doing now.
It was only in the past two days that he came back to his senses.
Once people like him left, the battalion commander and the others would definitely bear the pressure. If Gan Shang couldn't find Gan Gaojie, he would definitely want to find people like himself. If he couldn't find him, he would definitely hold the battalion commander and the others accountable.
He took a deep breath and said:
"I have a request. If Ju Tianrui and the others are forced to leave by Gan Shang and the others, I think you can give them a chance.
There is no need to join, just like us, the opportunity to cooperate is enough.
You can just do tasks in exchange for food."
Li Yu heard this and said with a smile:
"Of course, there's no problem with that. It's too simple for you. I'll promise you one more condition.
If Gan Shang and his men come, I will work with you to deal with them all.
how?"
"That's naturally the best." Xiao Jun said happily.
It just seems a little strange, but I can’t say why it’s strange
Li Yu added: "I'm kidding you, I killed Gan Gaojie, and Gan Shang must have caused trouble for me. Killing Gan Shang must be done."
Xiao Jun thought for a moment and nodded.
Li Yu thought for a while and said to Li Hang on the wall:
"Go to the freezer, take out half a pig, and give it to Xiao Jun and the others."
Then he turned to Xiao Jun and said:
"As for the grain, I'll give you another five hundred catties. I'll give it to you after the task is completed later.
You deserve this half pig, and the tooth-beating sacrifice is my gift to my brothers."
Seeing that Xiao Jun wanted to speak, Li Yu did not allow him to refuse and said: "That's it."
Xiao Jun had no choice but to accept it.
I thought to myself:
It just so happens that the brothers haven't eaten meat for a long time.
This time, have a great time!
