Chapter 765 Fuel crisis, 700 kilometers of battery life
The night was sultry, and many people had insomnia this night.
.......
Guo Peng, Zhu Xiao and the others entered the residential building in the First Outer City for the first time.
Under the leadership and arrangements of He Chao, some rooms were assigned to them.
Later, He Chao took the trouble to take Zhu Xiao and others to get familiar with the place, the shower room, the toilet, the lobby, the old doctor Huaqian...
In addition, some basic daily necessities were distributed, as well as cans that Li Yu and others had just transported back from the Western Alliance a few days ago.
Two canned fruits per person.
When Guo Peng got these two cans, he sat in this small room with mixed feelings in his heart.
Finally, they finally entered the outer city, and they finally joined the Da Zhangshu base in a real sense. It was not easy.
Taking an ordinary hot bath seems to be such a simple thing before the end of the world, but it is such a luxury in the end of the world.
After feeling comfortable and taking a quick hot bath, Xiao Hu returned to his room after eating the dinner distributed by the base.
He didn't fall asleep until midnight, he couldn't sleep.
Tossing and turning, the excitement in his mind kept him awake for a long time.
Neither of them could fall asleep, so he got up and walked out the door.
The stars were shining brightly, and he looked up at the sky.
The Milky Way is bright, the colorful starry sky looks so gorgeous, and the clouds are lit up by the starlight.
He lay on a large stone slab in the middle, listening to the sound of wind blowing in his ears and the rustling of leaves not far away.
He was inexplicably moved and looked at the beautiful stars in the sky.
Perhaps because the number of humans is much smaller and no more exhaust gas is emitted, the entire natural ecology seems to have become better.
And the sky seemed to become purer and clearer.
Xiao Hu just lay on the big stone slab. The stone slab still had a little warmth from the sun during the day, which passed through his clothes and reached his skin.
At this moment, Xiao Hu's heart entered an extremely peaceful state.
In a peaceful state, it is precious and rare.
If possible, Xiao Hu hopes to pause time at this second.
.........
In the inner city of the base, Anya was lying in her small room.
Her room is not big, with only one bathroom and one toilet, and the living room is even smaller and pitiful.
But although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs and everything it should have.
Anya opened the curtains, listened to the lullaby with headphones, and stared blankly at the sky, where the stars were shining brightly.
Before I knew it, I had been in the Da Zhangshu base area for more than a year.
This year has been like a dream, time has passed by inadvertently.
But watching the base continue to become stronger, seeing the planting area in the base becoming larger and growing more food, she felt a sense of pride in her heart.
But she didn't dare to express this sense of pride to others. She only secretly laughed under the covers on some quiet nights.
I am also very useful and can create value.
...........
North of Xincheng.
Prosper the city.
Ai Shan lay in the glass room, watching the crops grow quietly under the moonlight.
He was very grateful, grateful to be able to find such a place.
You can grow crops in the attic. Although your life is still very difficult, at least you won't starve to death.
Listening to the snoring coming from behind, Ai Shan turned over, closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.
.......
Sichuan Province.
My uncle, who had been driving for three or four days, lay down to rest in the RV. Looking at the moonlight coming through the blinds, he opened his eyes and did not fall asleep.
"Tomorrow, tomorrow we will be able to go to the Western Conference." The uncle said to himself.
There were many vehicles along the way. Although we encountered some minor vehicle breakdowns along the way, no one was left behind.
Although they often encountered zombies at night, they were able to find their camping spot for that night in advance every time and got through it without any danger.
The uncle slowly closed his eyes. He had to go to bed and get up early tomorrow to go on the road.
...........
Time passes quietly like running water.
One week later.
The wall of Dazhangshu base was finally built on this day.
Li Yu watched as they stepped on the wall of the newly built Third Outer City.
Looking down at the people under the wall who are busy building greenhouses and residential buildings.
I touched the wall with my hand, and there was still a thin layer of dust on the wall.
He turned sideways and said to Ding Jiu next to him: "How long will it take for the greenhouse to be built?"
Hearing this, Ding Jiu said, "The construction of the greenhouses in the Third Outer City started a week ago, and it is estimated that it will take another week. The planned planting area in the Third Outer City is relatively large, so it will take more time.
"
Li Yu nodded, of course he knew.
Once the greenhouse in the third outer city is completed, it will become the largest planting point in the entire base.
Even the planting area in the inner city is not so large.
Looking at the duty room being built not far away, Li Yu walked around the wall and was quite satisfied.
The nearly thirty-meter wall, it seems now, is enough to stop zombie attacks.
The fence here is also equipped with movable gate blades, which can play a huge role in the event of rain.
During the recent period, for some new tasks previously released, the collaborators collected a lot of chemical raw materials needed for pore cream. Now they have made some daily chemical products and distributed them for use, which have been well received by everyone.
Walking on the wall, Li Yu's face was calm, but his heart was quite uneasy.
Yesterday, another group of survivors came from the north. After chatting with this group of people, I found out that they were also people who fled here from Nanyang.
Coincidentally, Zhong Chuchu and the others also knew this group of people.
After communication, Li Yu learned that the motorcycle gang is now expanding rapidly. In the Nanyang area, the motorcycle gang has almost become the uncrowned king of that place.
With good mobility, they move around and control most of the population in their own hands, and let these people serve the motorcycle gang and provide stable food.
The lives of those who stayed were not much different from those of animals.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! So more and more people are thinking of ways to escape there.
Li Yu knew that now was the time.
Two o'clock in the afternoon.
A weekly meeting will begin.
Except for the uncle who has not come back yet, everyone else is present.
It is still the daily work, including the construction of the base, planting crops, collecting materials, etc.
However, regarding the collection of materials, there is currently a shortage of fuel in the base, and there is even less oil.
...........
Li Yuan reported to everyone: "Now the total amount of oil and fuel in our base is less than 50 tons, and it is estimated that it will not be consumed for long."
When the second uncle heard this, he frowned and said, "Why are there so few left? I remember there were hundreds of tons a few months ago."
The third uncle knocked on the table and said: "I went to the Guangshi Steel Plant so many times and consumed a lot of diesel. If Xiaoyu hadn't brought back dozens of tons of diesel from the Western Alliance last time, we would have even less fuel now.
."
He Chao listened to everyone's discussion and hesitated to speak. Li Yu saw his expression and pointed at He Chao and said: "He Chao, what do you want to say?"
When He Chao saw Li Yu calling his name, he had to say: "Well, in fact, this problem has also appeared among non-staff and cooperative staff. The problem of insufficient fuel was better before the flood, but now the problem is getting more serious.
I heard that some cooperative teams had no fuel at all and could only build in the third outer city."
The second uncle frowned and said, "I told you that in the past two days, the number of people building has suddenly increased a lot."
People sitting around the table were talking one after another. They were all talking about fuel.
Li Yu put down the cup in his hand.
Clang.
The bottom of the cup touched the table and made a sound, attracting everyone's attention and looking at Li Yu.
They knew that Li Yu had something to say.
"It seems that this is something that must be resolved now." Li Yu said quietly with deep eyes.
Then, he said to everyone:
"Actually, I have thought about this issue a long time ago. The fuel will eventually run out, so I asked Lao Dong and Zhang San to start developing electric trucks."
Li Yu stopped, took a sip of water and continued.
"There are actually dozens of electric vehicles in the base. These are left over from before the end of the world, but if these electric vehicles are used for a long time, the batteries will become scrapped sooner or later.
Now, Lao Dong and others can make batteries and complete assembly. This kind of ternary lithium battery has high energy density, better discharge performance in low-temperature environments, and longer battery life.
Just the battery raw materials, lithium nickel cobalt manganate or lithium nickel cobalt aluminate, are not enough collected.
So we just modified ten electric trucks. These ten electric trucks can have a cruising range of 700 kilometers. With the replacement of batteries, the cruising range will be longer."
"700 kilometers! Can it achieve such a long range? Is it the actual range?" The second uncle was a little surprised. He had also bought a new energy electric vehicle before.
The target was a range of 600 kilometers, but it was only able to travel 480 kilometers, which was a serious reduction.
He couldn't believe that the range of electric cars produced by the big car manufacturers before the end of the world was not as good as those produced by Lao Dong and others.
Li Yu nodded and said: "Yes, the actual battery life can reach so much. In fact, the battery is not that complicated. Cars built before the end of the world must consider various costs and body weight. In essence, if the battery is more
Get a few sets, and the cruising range will not be a problem for thousands of kilometers. The key lies in the weight of the vehicle body.
Of course, we are not so particular now, so when fully charged, the cruising range can reach 700 kilometers."
As soon as Li Yu said this, there was a lot of discussion in the conference room.
Everyone was surprised. What they didn't expect was that the cruising range could be so long.
Li Yu knocked on the table and said: "As He Chao said just now, without fuel, many collaborators and non-staff personnel will not be able to go out to help collect materials and supplies.
At the same time, there are no materials and supplies in the base. Without materials for making batteries, there is no way to make batteries and transform electric vehicles.
Therefore, while everyone still has some fuel, mobilize all collaborators and non-staff personnel to collect raw materials for making batteries.
As far as I know, in Gan Province, the raw materials for lithium batteries are relatively abundant.
In addition, of the ten modified electric vehicles, five will be left for personal use in and outside the city, and the other five can be distributed to non-staff personnel through a lottery so that they can test their performance."
