Chapter 944 Isn’t it too luxurious to use electricity like this?
Big camphor tree base.
The Fourth Outer City was busy.
Zhong Chuchu and others who had returned from Southeast Asia were working among them. Shen Xiaoxiao's muscular body stood out among a group of workers.
Just two days ago, they had received the food exchanged for their mission.
"Sister Chu Chu, you still have to go out and perform tasks to get more points. You see, we have been back here for four or five days to build the fourth outer city, so that we can equal the points we earned last time we went to Southeast Asia with Mr. Li and the others."
Shen Xiaoxiao wiped the sweat from his forehead with a pink towel and said.
Zhong Chuchu unscrewed the bottle cap, took a few sips of water and replied:
"Let's just be content. Once this fourth outer city is built, we should be able to become non-staff members. Then we won't have to worry about starving to death."
"Look at these people in shackles. They are doing the hardest work, but they are not given any food. If you think about it this way, it is much more balanced."
Shen Xiaoxiao looked at the shackled men and women and said with some confusion:
"What do you think these people think? They insist on going against our base. Alas... I saw a man in shackles fainted in the morning, and then he was taken away. I don't know how to deal with it. ....."
Zhong Chuchu warned: "Don't talk about this! Let's just take care of ourselves. Didn't we suffer enough in the past with the motorcycle gang?
These people deserve what they got."
"Yeah." Shen Xiaoxiao lowered his head and replied dully.
Not far away from them, people in Dongfeng's group were also busy, and it could be seen from the smiles on their faces that they were in a good mood.
"Brother Dongfeng, I heard from Wanbo that our points have reached enough to be promoted. Is it true?" Tietou and Hutou took down the template and asked Dongfeng.
Tietou is already sixteen years old. Last time Dongfeng and Liu Youguang went out to help the base carry supplies back, Tietou and Hutou didn't go, and everyone in their group went.
Dongfeng saw Tietou's expectant face and didn't know how to answer him for a moment.
After all, once the points are reached, there will still be an assessment period, although the initiative during this assessment period lies entirely in the hands of Li Yu and the senior leaders of Da Zhangshu Base.
"It's possible, but not certain. It depends on our recent performance, so I asked you and Hu Tou to stop running around and stay steady so as not to cause trouble." Dongfeng said after thinking for a while.
When Tietou heard what Dongfeng said, he said nervously: "Then I saw Mr. Li two days ago and if I didn't say hello, would he let him..."
"Won't."
Dongfeng said without hesitation.
"Mr. Li is not such a stingy person. I asked you and Hutou not to run around. Look at the many shackled people here. They are all rebels. Although they have been arrested now, there is no guarantee that there will be people outside. I missed so many."
Hearing this, Tietou breathed a sigh of relief.
He scratched his head and said, "I understand, Brother Dongfeng, we won't miss anything important, hehe."
"Boy, stop secretly staring at the girls in Lao Sha's group. It's too obvious for you, silly boy."
"If you want to see her, just look openly and openly and go to her in an upright manner. Boys should be shy."
Being exposed by Dongfeng, Tietou's face turned red, and he ran away with some embarrassment to Wanbo to help tie the steel bars.
Even in the last days of the apocalypse, this kind of existence is inevitable.
Although he doesn't have enough to eat, the young man will always feel a little nervous mentally.
.........
Outside the fifth satellite city.
Old Huangtou, Guifei, and Xiaoye sat under the big tree to rest, opened their bags, took out the food, and grilled it on the open ground.
Next to them, the small cart was piled with colorful long boxes, and the outside of the boxes was covered with soil.
"Today's harvest is not good. It took so much effort to dig out these glasses from the collapsed optical shop for a long time.
The exchange ratio is too low, it’s not as good as the brass we had before.”
Xiaoye muttered and said while eating the food in his mouth.
"I'll be content with you." Old Huangtou took a homemade pipe and took two puffs, then coughed violently.
What he smoked was not tobacco. As a collaborator, it was hard for him to even have a full stomach, let alone smoke.
What he smoked were some dead grass leaves picked from the roadside, so he coughed so violently after taking one sip.
The imperial concubine saw that he was coughing so violently and persuaded him:
"Old Huang, please stop smoking."
Xiao Ye next to him also said: "Yes, Lao Huang, I have told you so many times, but you just don't listen. You are really disobedient."
"Hey! You bastard, calling me grandpa is really not enough."
"No." Xiaoye turned his head and ignored him at all.
"Hey, let me tell you, your dad recognized me as his dad. I am your dad's dad, so don't you just call me grandpa? Could it be..."
.......
The imperial concubine saw the two of them coming again. These two guys, one old and one young, always quarreled over this matter, which made the imperial concubine look bad.
Every time the two of them argue about this matter, they spend most of the day arguing.
So he quickly changed the subject with another topic, "Old Huang, you said this wave of rebellion should be almost over, right?"
Huhu——
Old Huang took another puff and spit it out before saying:
"Well, it looks like this situation should be over."
After hearing this, the imperial concubine continued: "Then let's remind Guo Peng and the others this time. After calculating the points and rewards, we should be able to be promoted to the position of non-staff."
Old Huangtou nodded and said, "It should be fine."
Xiaoye, who was turning his head sideways, heard them say this, and suddenly became interested, turned his head, and said excitedly:
"If we become non-staff personnel, then the base will distribute food to us every month. Then we will no longer have to worry about starving to death!"
Old Huangtou nodded and said: "According to the rules of the Da Zhangshu Base, it can only guarantee that we will not starve to death, but the food is not much. If we want to not starve, we still have to do more tasks."
The three of them chatted and were full of good expectations for the future.
Although life in the apocalypse is very difficult, for them, at least there is hope, and life will always get better and better.
........
After leaving the Oil City, Li Tie controlled the helicopter and flew in the direction of the base.
On the way from Oil City to Dazhangshu Base, you have to stop at the transfer station in Xiuxian County to refuel the helicopter.
Along the way, Li Tie controlled the helicopter very steadily.
This reassured Li Yu, who had been worried.
Ant, who was sitting in the co-pilot, gave Li Tie pointers on his operations from time to time.
There were no accidents.
Soon, they arrived at the Xiuxian transfer station.
Li Yu used a walkie-talkie to contact Zhou Tian and others on the ground in advance.
Helicopter docking requires the most skill. Li Tie held his breath and controlled the helicopter steadily.
Today I also practiced landing seven or eight times in Oil City, but at that time there were only two people on the helicopter, namely him and Ant. Now there are many people in the helicopter, which puts a lot of pressure on him.
Steady, steady, Li Tie silently thought to himself.
As the fuselage descended, they landed steadily on the ground.
Li Tie let go of the joystick, his palms were covered with sweat. Fortunately, he put on a layer of gloves.
Li Yu walked up behind him and patted his shoulder.
"Good job."
Li Tie felt the vibration on his shoulders and was extremely happy. He had more confidence in the flight with less than half left.
Soon, Li Yu and the others stayed at the transfer station for less than twenty minutes to refill the helicopter's fuel.
Li Yu explained to Zhou Tian: "In six days, Xiao Jun and the others will come over. You return to the base with them. At the transfer station, take away everything you want to take away and lock the door."
Zhou Tian nodded quickly and said, "I know. When Ju Tianrui came over yesterday, he told me about this matter."
"Well, please pay more attention to your safety here. Let's leave first."
"Goodbye Mr. Li."
As the helicopter left, Zhou Tian still stood there, seemingly in a daze.
"Brother Tian, we will be back at the base in a few days. It's great." The team member under him said with excitement.
Zhou Tian was not so happy, and said in a low voice: "Everything must be answered when it happens. If we are suddenly asked to return to the base, something must have happened, or something may happen in the future. Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore, brothers, these days
Pack your things and we’ll leave with Xiao Jun and the others in a few days.”
"Okay!"
.......
Half past five in the evening.
Li Yu arrived at the Da Zhangshu Base. From the air, Li Yu could see the construction of the Fourth Outer City.
After doubling the manpower in the fourth outer city, the efficiency seems to be much faster.
He still remembered that when he left, the wall built did not reach the big tree outside, but now it has been built there.
At this time, they were holding electric saws to cut down the big tree.
Buzz buzz——
Li Yu and the others flew directly to the Second Urn City.
The Second Urn City is now home to Professor Zhang Qiwu and his students.
The First Urn City is currently used as a place where those rebels are imprisoned.
After getting off the helicopter, Li Yu stretched his muscles.
Then I saw Zhang Qiwu and the others walking over.
"Mr. Li."
"Well, Mr. Zhang, what's the matter?" Li Yu asked, twisting his neck.
"I found that there is a big problem in the base." Zhang Qiwu said with a frown.
"Oh? What's the problem?" Li Yu suddenly became interested when he heard what he said.
"During this period, I also visited the first and second greenhouses. In an uncertain environment like the end of the world, using PC solar panels is indeed a good choice.
However, I think some places in the greenhouse are unreasonable and consume too much electricity. I heard Anya say that in addition to the first and second outer cities, there are also greenhouses in the third outer city and the inner city.
If this is the case, then the power consumption will be huge.
Although I don't know how the base generates electricity today, I can basically guess that it is coal-fired power generation, solar power generation, and diesel power generation.
But I made a simple calculation and found that this consumes too much energy for us. Some equipment in the greenhouse can be completely shut down, which will reduce the output by up to 20%.
But it will save at least half of the electricity. If this kind of electricity consumption continues, we may not have enough energy in the future..."
Li Yu listened carefully at first, but his expression became richer after hearing it.
It turned out that I was worried about using too much electricity and consuming energy.
Speaking of this, Li Yu really didn't know how to answer him for a while.
Since Zhang Qiwu and the others had just joined the base not long ago, they had not been informed of the existence of the zombie generator yet.
In the Da Zhangshu Base, the zombie generator is a top-secret existence.
Even many people from outside the city don’t know.
Of course they don't know this, and they won't doubt where electricity comes from. After all, they have no idea.
But experts like Zhang Qiwu and others can calculate the daily energy consumption based on electricity consumption with a simple estimate.
Naturally, Li Yu would not tell him about the zombie generator, a truly green and pollution-free energy source.
This chapter proposes to shut down the equipment in the greenhouse and then reduce food production to save energy.
Not only does it not appear that he is incompetent, on the contrary, it proves that he does have something.
Otherwise, how could ordinary people think of this?
But in today's base, there is no problem of insufficient power. On the contrary, zombie generators and solar power generation alone can perfectly solve the base's power problem.
There is even a lot of surplus electricity every day.
So after thinking for a while he said:
"Mr. Zhang, I also know what you said, but don't worry about the electricity issue. I asked Anya to turn on all the equipment. Electricity is very important, but food is even more important. Just concentrate on how to provide
The problem of increasing grain production."
"But, but, this won't last long..." Mr. Zhang was a little depressed, his brows furrowed tightly.
"Don't worry, we have a way and we will definitely solve this problem. Just concentrate on studying food cultivation..." Li Yu said again patiently.
Seeing how stubborn Li Yu is, I also saw that he said it for this reason.
Zhang always couldn't figure out how to solve the power problem.
However, Mr. Zhang was embarrassed to ask any more, as it would be a bit impolite to ask any more.
So he sighed and said, "Okay, I listen to you, then I will concentrate on studying food cultivation."
"By the way, Wang Yin and the others want to get more involved in the chemical research in the base, but Director Bai said they have to wait a little longer. This is..."
Li Yu thought for a while and said:
"Okay, don't worry, I will arrange this matter and I will talk to them."
Now, more than 20 experts from various industries such as chemistry, physics, and agriculture have joined the base to deal with specific matters, but they are not that in-depth.
There has been a rebellion recently, and Li Yu has become more cautious.
Good things come slowly, so don't rush them.
Once these capable people come in, don't even think about running away.
It's just that before they can be truly reused, they must be evaluated for a period of time to at least determine that there is no problem with them.
Once bitten, twice shy.
He also came from the southwest. Li Yu was so careful because he was a little upset by the rebels.
After appeasing Mr. Zhang and the others, Li Yu asked Li Tie and the others to get the helicopter to the Second Outer City.
As soon as I returned to the Second Outer City, my second uncle came looking for me.
"Xiaoyu, how do you think about the promotion list I gave you before? It's been a while since you guys returned to Da Zhangshu Base. Those who should be assessed should have almost passed the assessment. I'm basically ready here, just waiting for you.
Views.
What do you think?"
Li Yu recalled it and remembered the promotion list given to him a few days ago.
We really can't wait any longer.
If we wait any longer, another natural disaster will come soon.
When the time comes, I will be busy again, and then I will put it off again and again, and several months will pass.
Thinking of the names of those promoted personnel, Li Yu said: "I have no objection. Let them come to the base tomorrow to promote them."
"Okay." The second uncle heard Li Yu's reply and nodded.
