Chapter 142 Only by comparing can you know the difference
As soon as the receptionist saw the motorcade slowly coming from the gate, he quickly notified the people inside on the intercom.
The next moment, the granary that was lifeless a moment ago immediately became lively.
Nearly a thousand people rushed out of the administrator's office of the granary warehouse as quickly as possible, then ran to the entrance of the granary, and rode various types of mobilization vehicles to get to the gate of the granary.
When the big G traveling around and changing trains drove into the small loading and unloading square, which was not too big, he saw such a scene.
Late at night, the iodine tungsten lamps surrounding the originally dark small square were suddenly lit up.
Placed on the surrounding walls, a total of twenty iodine tungsten lamps illuminated the square at the same time, illuminating the place as if it were daytime.
About thirty or forty small electric vehicles, led by a Wuling Hongguang mini, drove out from the entrance of the granary and slowly drove towards their convoy.
At the rear of the motorcade, there were people old and young, as well as many children uniformly dressed in red, each holding a small red flower they picked from someone unknown, and trotting along to keep up.
Obviously, the Kangyue County Government planned to give the Lelai Expeditionary Force, a powerful reinforcement, the warmest welcome, and also created a pomp that seemed particularly rare at this moment.
But Zhou You was not moved by it.
On the contrary, he was very disgusted.
Now is not the time to talk about ostentation and nonsense.
Let’s not talk about the danger behind the behavior of letting children come out to line up in the middle of the night. After all, Kangyue County also has its own combat members, and the affairs of the guys in the hands of the fully equipped expeditionary force are not just for show.
Simply speaking, it is not necessary to turn on a large number of iodine tungsten lamps at the same time. Isn't this a waste of electricity?
There is now a power outage in Kangyue County, and the energy supply for iodine tungsten lamps most likely comes from diesel generators.
Although mankind's diesel resource reserves are still sufficient, the petrochemical industry has almost stopped production. After all, this stuff should be used less and less, and it is really a non-renewable resource in the short term.
How much armaments can be produced by saving this diesel and using electricity on productivity equipment such as angle grinders, lathes, cutting machines, and roller presses?
In a sense, Zhou You believes that for every full-coverage armor that is powerful enough, a sharp sword or a precise firearm, one less person may die.
Therefore, among Duke's many criticisms of Kangyue County Government during his lifetime, he said that the officials of Kangyue County Government were only greedy, which may not be correct. However, in Zhou You's view, it is also an administrative agency, and the performance of Kangyue County Government is worse than that of Kangyue County Government.
There is indeed a huge gap in Lelai County. These people's waste characteristics are more or less the same.
Because of this thought in his mind, Zhou You's attitude toward the officials who came to greet him was not very good after he got off the bus.
The official in the lead came over excitedly, as if he wanted to shake hands with Zhou You, and said repeatedly: "Mr. Zhou, we are looking forward to the stars and the moon, but you are here."
Zhou You didn't extend his hand, he just put on a proud look.
At the same time, Zhou You looked around again, and then cast his gaze on the children in the back who were trembling and nervously approaching, accompanied by their parents. He immediately said: "Let the children go back. It's so late at night."
, the wind is strong outside. If there is a rat tide at this time, even if we can kill all the rats, the situation will become chaotic. If the children have a stampede accident, it will not be good if there are casualties. Oh, and wait for the children.
Now that we are all in, please quickly turn off all those dazzling lights."
When the officials heard this, they were stunned on the spot.
How could he, who had been involved in the system all year round, not understand that he was flattering someone on the horse's lap, and people simply didn't like it.
He scratched his head and said, "This..."
"There's nothing wrong with this. Let's close the team and hurry up. Let's go inside and talk first. I'll get a feel for the situation in your county first and then decide what to do next." Zhou You turned around and called Deng Tao.
Zhan Ying, the Shen family's father and daughter, Luo Xun and others, as well as Wang Wenming, Wang Lao, Ma Yuan and others, walked straight to the granary building.
Perhaps it is true that what goes well above others must come down to others. Zhou You is a very cost-effective person and hates extravagance and waste. As a team leader, he has always lived an ordinary life. When it comes to the use of energy and materials, it is even more important.
I wish I could break the one-hour electricity into a hundred petals and slowly bloom them.
Now when I see people from Kangyue County doing this, my face has fallen. The attitude of other people in the expeditionary force is not much better either.
Deng Tao, who was also mixed up in the system, showed some sense of worldliness and walked up to the official and said: "I'm sorry, we did see a lot of shortcomings in your work on the way here. As far as we are in the team now,
There are also some girls who have just been rescued from the devil's cave in the county town and are receiving psychological treatment. Now I see that you guys have the energy to organize this event, but they don't have time to save those who are trapped. They really feel a little bad.
But our original intention is to help Kangyue County solve its difficulties, so don’t worry about it."
The official nodded politely, "Yes, of course I understand."
After about an hour, the meeting came to an end.
During this period, the more he read the detailed situation report materials prepared by Kangyue County Government, the darker Zhou You's face became.
Now in Lelai County, all the surviving population in the county and most of the population in surrounding towns have been concentrated in the county settlements.
About 200,000 people have gathered in Xinlelai County, located in the industrial park.
Counting Yulong Community and other miscellaneous medium and large settlements, as well as key towns, there are also about 200,000 people whose records can be found. The total resettlement rate of Lelai County's original population of 500,000 has exceeded 80
%.
Considering that the missing persons are likely to have died, in a sense, Lelai County has fully completed the population registration and has re-formed the pattern of micro cities and many satellite towns.
But looking at Kangyue County, it is also a county with a large population, a better economy, and a higher GDP. Even if the biggest difference between the two counties is that one has tourism and the other does not, the performance of Kangyue County is still unsatisfactory.
.
Today, Kangyue County has a registered and controllable total population of only more than 200,000 people. Compared with the original total population of more than 600,000 in Kangyue County, the resettlement rate is less than 40%. Most of them live in
As for the other key facilities in the granary, they have been abandoned either voluntarily or by force. Barely counting those who could still be contacted a few days ago, there are also some populations in non-rat-occupied towns that have barely gathered together, but are still in a precarious situation.
The total number of people is less than 350,000, and the resettlement rate is less than 60%.
There are also combatants under the jurisdiction of Kangyue County, but they have not been able to mobilize the enthusiasm of ordinary people. The core combatants still rely heavily on the original local armed police, fire police, police officers, assisting police and city management personnel, and some
Original government workers.
The total number of professional combatants is less than 10,000, and including reserves, it is barely 30,000.
Zhou You saw relevant statements in the report from Kangyue County Government, which proved that Kangyue County Government had a strong sense of distrust towards ordinary people. Therefore, when selecting and organizing combatants, the strategic direction was clearly skewed.
The people here are happy to see that they don't have to go out with knives and guns to fight. They just enjoy the little life of eating and waiting to die. They don't pay much attention to the production work. They are a little bit three-day.
Two days of fishing and drying the net.
However, Kangyue County Government still implements the past management model, does not adopt militarized management, and does not pay much attention to mobilizing the enthusiasm of the people.
There is also no implementation of the elimination classification system that may cause civil unrest to accurately quantify the contribution level of production personnel.
Anyway, everyone is used to being protected, and they feel that if the sky falls, a tall person will hold it up anyway. I am definitely not a tall person, so why bother to use my brain and there is no time.
So the current situation is that people in Kangyue County who are still trapped outside are living in dire straits. Those who have entered the resettlement area and are barely protected lack a strong enough sense of crisis. Even if there are still family members and friends trapped in
Outside, without the guidance of superiors, relying on oneself alone, you may not even have the courage and ability to go out.
Kangyue County Government itself is also afraid of huge chaos caused by doomsday sentiment, so it is very selective when announcing news, often reporting good news but not bad news.
To a certain extent, Kangyue County Government’s decision seems to make sense.
Unlike Lelai County, which has a relatively underdeveloped economy and has a small number of outsiders, Kangyue County has a better economy, more companies, and a much larger proportion of the outsider population.
The local administrative department's past work expertise was probably in the economy. The awareness of united front was relatively weak, but it failed to change its thinking in time when dealing with the apocalypse.
In short, the many complex reasons mentioned above have led to such a loose management system, which further makes the equipment level of Kangyue County's combat team only unsatisfactory, let alone compared with the elites of the Zhou family, even with Lelai County.
Compared with the preparatory combat personnel, it cannot be compared.
Currently, there are thousands of combat personnel directly under the control of Kangyue County wearing wooden and bamboo armors, and some are also using relatively low-end lighter nail guns.
The drawings of Shen's Spike airship have long been published in the "Guide". There are only more than 300 single-person airships in Kangyue County, and a large part of them are even powered by human pedals.
Every time you go out, you have to expend a lot of energy on pedaling.
Zhou You thinks this is simply unreasonable. Even if there are not as many rechargeable handheld electric fans in Kangyue County as readily available in Lelai's e-commerce logistics park, it is not difficult to make your own electric fans. You only need to find some that are widely available in many industrial products.
You only need to use a small motor and connect it to a battery of corresponding voltage. The production of fan blades is even simpler, but it is really not possible. Even if you find some workers to cut the wood with a knife, you can still make the fan blades by hand and barely hold them together.
Even if you really can't make a four- or six-leaf fan blade, let's make it the bamboo dragonfly-style blade that everyone played with when they were kids.
After all, Kangyue County has a developed economy and there are so many enterprises, so it is impossible not to have reserves of small motors.
In addition, although the National Academy of Sciences has maintained the most efficient frequency and speed of synchronized updates to the outside world when studying the situation of over-limited persons, it is different from Zhou You who is simply a peripheral member of the National Academy of Sciences, and what he has obtained is first-hand information and information acquisition.
The speed is at least half a day faster than that in Kangyue County. This means that the treatment efficiency and success rate of treatment for over-limit awakenings in Kangyue County can only meet barely qualified standards.
The frequency and probability of failed over-limit awakenings in Kangyue County are much higher than in Lelai County. Moreover, the medical staff here seem to be infected by the bad social atmosphere, rarely use their subjective initiative, and dare not respond
No changes are made to the original technical indicators to enhance the treatment effect.
In summary, all of the above has led to the fact that even if the situation in Kangyue County is worse, more people have extreme emotions and successfully break through, but there are fewer people who survive. The existing statistics of people who have exceeded the limit are recorded
The number of residents is also less than that of Lelai County.
From the feelings revealed between the lines in the report materials, Zhou You can tell that the managers of Kangyue County Government seem to feel pretty good about themselves and feel that they have done their best.
But from Zhou You's point of view, these people's work was simply a mess.
To call it a disaster-level performance is an understatement.
Zhou You thought so, and Deng Tao, who had previously been willing to give him face, didn't look much better now.
As an insider in the system, Deng Tao knew very well how incompetent these people were, so much so that he, an old man, couldn't hold himself together.
Leaving aside the nearly 100,000 people who fell into the occupied areas due to the power outage, the more than 200,000 people who were marked as missing in the occupied areas are not a simple number.
Behind every number is a living human life.
Furthermore, even in Kangyue County, everyone had just seen with their own eyes the tragic fate of those women because of one person's evil thoughts.
This is not in a township, but right in the county, right under the nose of Kangyue County Government.
They still haven't done anything.
In the end, it was the expeditionary force from out of town that happened to come across and rescue those women in a real sense.
"Mr. Zhou, Captain Deng, what do you think? When can we start taking action? You just arrived tonight, why don't you take a day off first. Early tomorrow morning? Uh..."
Seeing the increasingly subtle attitudes on the faces of the senior officers of the expeditionary force, the highest-level official responsible for the reception slowly began to become nervous and asked cautiously.
Deng Tao was about to speak when Zhou You next to him made a move.
He handed these report materials to the side and asked Shen Ling, who was temporarily acting as secretary, to help put them away. Then he said to the official: "We have a preliminary understanding of the situation, but as for the next step, we will study it again after we return.
Intelligence, let’s discuss it carefully. As for how we will arrange tonight, I won’t bother you. We will find a place to live ourselves. Although the granary is safe, we don’t really need safety now, and we don’t want to be too safe. The safer we are
, the more rats there are outside, the more nourishing life will be.”
Zhou You's words were a bit harsh and seemed a bit unhuman.
Several Kangyue County officials looked at each other, feeling very embarrassed.
But these people didn't feel unhappy at all.
Although they feel good about themselves, they are also aware of the situation in their neighbor Lelai County. They know that they really have nothing to complain about and they deserve to be looked down upon.
The leading official laughed and said in surprise: "That's true. You are worthy of being a national hero. Mr. Zhou, you are indeed a high-spirited person and a role model for our generation. Alas, if we had people like you, Mr. Zhou, maybe we would be in the same situation now."
I won’t be so passive anymore.”
Zhou You waved his hand, "It's not up to me to be passive or not. I don't have that much ability. I can't accomplish anything by myself. The current situation in Lelai County is not the result of Zhou You alone. I don't
Dare to take credit."
"Yes, yes, unity is strength, hahahaha. I really want to thank Mr. Zhou and Lelai County Government for their generosity, which really solved our urgent need. If you have any needs, please don't contact us.
You're welcome, feel free to ask, we will do our best to satisfy you."
Deng Tao: "Then on behalf of Lelai County and the expeditionary force, I would like to thank my colleagues in Kangyue."
Zhou You also nodded.
Although the other party seemed useless, from the moment they met until now, Zhou You felt that their attitude was okay, so their attitude also improved slightly.
After thinking for a while, Zhou You then said: "Okay, now that this matter has been mentioned, let me say a few points. First of all, I hope your organization will allow us to recruit people in the settlement. I think, among the 200,000 people here,
There must be many people who have relatives and friends who are living outside. Our operations include extermination of rats, and of course rescuers. Although rescuing people is my own responsibility, I have no shirking the responsibility, but if we can have more action personnel, we can improve the situation to some extent.
This is the principle of action efficiency, right?"
When the official heard this, he hesitated and said, "This... these people have not received professional military training after all. Let them participate in outings..."
Seeing that this man was still rambling, Deng Tao couldn't stand it anymore and said: "In our expedition team, there are currently more than 4,000 professional combatants, including myself.
Less than a hundred people have received professional training in the past. Now that the situation is so critical, we can only use combat as a substitute for training, which is very reasonable."
"But……"
Zhou You: "You want to say that they have not undergone political review and are not reliable enough. If they get weapons, they will become a security risk, right?"
"Isn't that so?" a Kangyue official who had not spoken before interjected.
The official's temper seemed a bit hot and he had obviously been holding back for a while.
Zhou You asked back, "Excuse me, there are more than 200,000 missing people in your county now. I would like to know if you had mobilized everyone as much as possible from the beginning, would you have been able to do the same as our Lelai County?
At least reduce the number of missing people to 100,000 people? I also want to ask, how big of a mess would it take to kill and injure these 100,000 people? What is the biggest security risk now, and it still needs me, a common man with a flat head?
Come to teach you? Are you filled with brains or shit?"
Originally, Zhou You didn’t plan to curse anyone today.
The previous opponent's attitude was acceptable, which made him feel that he could not reach out to hit the smiling person, and he could not find an entry point for a while.
Now that I'm fine, I took the opportunity to squirt hard, and my travels became much more comfortable.
"Okay, I advise you to shut up. The first thing is settled. Now I will talk about the second thing. I must clearly inform you that although the Lelai Expeditionary Force is here to assist you, you have nothing to do with it.
We do not have any superior-subordinate relationship, and we will not obey your orders. All subsequent activities will be led by us. If your county has objections to this, then we do not need any support from you, and we will do our own thing
, do not affect each other. But if your actions require our help, then you'd better carefully consider what I just said. Don't rush to object, because the objection is invalid."
"The third thing. I hope you can organize manpower at the granary gathering point to start production work. We can provide technical personnel as guidance. In addition, we also need you to count the number of people who have previously worked for the three major operators.
Technicians and managers, hand them over to us to assist us in finding, collecting and transforming 4G mobile Internet base stations that are not currently faulty in Kangyue County."
"Fourth, my mobile phone number is... You can also give us your mobile phone number. I will enter your mobile phone number into the system, and I will try to restore it in Kangyue County within two days.
Mobile phone communications. Currently, within a five-kilometer radius of our activity, you can make phone calls as in the past. But please don’t inform the public now. Our server’s computing power and data throughput capacity are limited and cannot support too much communication volume.
, so it can only be used in a small area. We cannot supply the hundreds of thousands of people here. Their mobile phone numbers will not be entered into the system, and their signals will not be recognized."
"fifth……"
"Wait a minute, Mr. Zhou! Wait a minute!" When Zhou finished his fourth point, the officials in Kangyue County couldn't sit still, and one of them interrupted emotionally.
Zhou You paused for a moment, "What's the matter?"
"You said you can make a call now?" the official asked hurriedly.
Zhou You nodded, "Yes, we have technicians here who can rewrite the program of the 4G base station, and then use your own laptop to build your own server. The principle is not complicated, it is just like the pseudo base stations that were repeatedly banned by the three major operators.
It’s almost the same thing, except that it can not only send messages, but also receive messages. It was developed by this person.”
Since the mobile base station was mentioned again, Zhou You pulled Ma Yuan out and introduced it to everyone.
Just now, Zhou You had arranged for an over-limit warrior from the Zhou family and a team of fifty people to Ma Yuan.
After a brief reorganization tonight, this team will set off tomorrow morning, driving the traveling hybrid off-road vehicle that will come from Lelai overnight to a city 500 kilometers away to rescue Ma Yuan's family.
.
Therefore, Zhouyou is not afraid that Ma Yuan, half of Kangyue natives, will be poached.
As expected, Ma Yuan was immediately recognized by some of Kang Yue's senior executives.
It was the general manager of the county-level branch of the network operator where Ma Yuan worked in Kangyue.
The other party looked very surprised, obviously not expecting Ma Yuan to have such a skill. Although Ma Yuan made his entire operation so simple before, it only took less than half a day to implement it, but the facts proved that,
This matter is really not as easy as what he said. At least no matter whether it is Le Lai or Kang Yue, no one has thought of it or realized it before.
This is also due to the fact that the division of labor in society in the past was too detailed, which resulted in many technicians spending their whole lives focusing on the little things they knew. Once they exceeded the scope of their knowledge, they immediately became confused.
There are still very few people like Ma Yuan who engage in an industry because they like it, and are willing to study on their own in their spare time, thinking about everything they should and should not learn.
Although Ma Yuan should be considered a person from Kangyue County, after he was trapped in the occupied area, Kangyue County Government did nothing. Now seeing such talents fall into the hands of others, Kangyue County
Although the officials on the government side were very sour in their hearts, they were indeed blameless.
More than 3,000 people, including Ma Yuan and Wang Wenming and Wang Lao, have been trapped in Dujiacun, Tongming Town for so long. They themselves have never been able to spare manpower to rescue them. Now that people and technology have been swept away, then what?
No wonder who came.
"Let me go on to the fifth point. In the course of our next actions, we may need to occupy the houses on the streets and all idle resources at any time. Although it is meaningless to reiterate the personal property protection law now, we still hope that you will
Only then can a special operation permit be issued.”
"Sixth, I see that your power resources seem to be very abundant. Whether we are producing our own armaments, maintaining communications, or developing software and APP programming, we will need to consume a lot of power. So I hope that you will at least
A generator set that can provide a power of 100 kWh, preferably a diesel generator.”
"Okay, I've finished what I said. Next, we will go find a place to stay on our own."
After I had clearly explained what I needed to explain, I was not vague about traveling around, and I had no interest in staying and enjoying the hospitality of Kangyue County Government.
When he led the team into the small conference room earlier, Zhou You had already noticed that Kangyue County seemed to be affected by the policy announced by the National Academy of Sciences regarding the extremely strong personal desires of those who exceeded their limits. It may also be that they wanted to be better.
In order to entertain the top overachiever who was destined to have a harem of three wives and four concubines, he himself had actually organized a group of pretty women to come out.
None of these women seemed to be forced. They followed the team all the time, their eyes wandering around from time to time. They were obviously very thoughtful.
But Zhou You felt that he already had Yuan Yike and Shen Ling, and Shen Ling was by his side. Even though he was now more relaxed, he still didn't want to have a casual relationship with someone he didn't know.
He didn't think it was interesting, but he didn't want to say rejection and make people feel sad, so it was better not to have this bud in the first place.
The expeditionary force soon found a new foothold in Kangyue County.
This is a fairly large chain supermarket, located in the very center of Kangyuedong District, where there are many high-rise buildings and a relatively high population density.
There are many reasons why we chose this place.
There is a relatively large parking lot at the back entrance of this large supermarket, which is large enough for all the vehicles of the expeditionary force to enter.
In addition, although the supermarket has been raided by rats, most of the food and many other edible items inside are gone, but other products are still intact and can be used.
Rats don't have enough energy to chew everything up.
In addition, according to the report information provided by Kangyue County Government, they did not conduct a blanket search and rescue in this area with high population density. Previously, at most, they only parked the vehicles at various street entrances and waited for the trapped people to think of themselves.
Fazi ran over to join the vehicle.
Since the Kangyue County Government did not do a good job in cleaning up stray cats and dogs at the beginning, as the number of rats increased and their action became stronger and stronger, it was the army of rats that helped the Kangyue County Government clean up many meeting places in the county.
Stray cats and dogs that feed on rats.
But the cars in Kangyue County can no longer even stop at the intersection. As long as your car dares to stop, there will be a group of rats that will pounce on you like crazy. No matter what, as long as they get into the engine compartment,
If you catch a wire, bite it.
After N vehicles were paralyzed and at least hundreds of operational team members were sacrificed one after another, Kangyue County Government gave up its wait-and-wait rescue operation. At most, it only regularly dispatched police drones and a small number of single-person airships every day.
, rescue a lot of people with hammers and sticks, or simply announce the resettlement location and let the trapped people who can't even get out find their own way to survive.
This is the scene that occurs when a human being is beaten to semi-paralysis by a rat.
The Lelai Expeditionary Force is now parked here, with the intention of deliberately luring rats from the surrounding areas to die, and then relying on their own strength to conduct a carpet search and rescue in this area where there must be many trapped people.
Sure enough, the convoy had just stopped in the supermarket parking lot for less than fifteen minutes. It was hanging from below with a wire rope, lifting the large single-person airship to a height of more than 20 meters, and using a telescope with infrared night vision function from a high position.
The investigators observing the situation shouted in the conversation group of the little genius children's mobile phone: "A group of rats were found on the wall on the east side of the parking lot. There are about fifty of them."
At this time, Zhou You was not at the command post.
The person in charge of duty at the command post is Deng Tao.
Zhou You also went to Ma Yuan's construction truck to help modify the mobile base station.
Of course, with Zhou You's current status, it seems a bit unprofessional for him to do this job.
But you can't blame him.
Traveling around is also a bit like a drunkard who doesn’t care about drinking.
Although he implicitly refused the special hospitality arranged by Kangyue County Government before, the strange thing is that Zhou You has now become a man of modesty and integrity.
He refused both verbally and physically, but he couldn't hold it back in his mind. He strayed his thoughts in a direction that was not suitable for children, and then he couldn't stop the car.
So when leading the team to the supermarket, Zhou You realized that his desire was a little out of control, so he ran over to the construction truck here, intending to discuss his skills with Shen Ling.
The result was good. When he arrived, Shen Ling was dissatisfied that Ma Yuan was too slow. He had only built two mobile base stations so far, which were not enough. She volunteered to bring a few old subordinates and planned to build the second mobile base station within an hour.
There are three mobile base stations to facilitate early restoration of communication with Lelai County.
This is great. Seeing how hard Shen Ling is working, Zhou You really can't help but feel embarrassed, saying that you should stop doing the real thing and we should go "do the real thing" as soon as possible.
Anyway, when Zhou You and Shen Ling were in Rongcheng, they were flipping equipment together and developed good equipment modification skills. So he simply rolled up his sleeves and helped with this basic work. If he could finish the work early, he could drag it on earlier.
Shen Ling went to do business.
When other people saw this scene, they were filled with emotion.
A leader is a leader. Although he has many things to do every day, he still works so hard and is willing to do any dirty work or ordinary work. How rare!
It is with people like this leading us that we can imagine the future with confidence and boldness!
While Zhou You was busy doing small tasks, the counterattack and encirclement and suppression battle against the invading rats, jointly directed by Deng Tao and Gao Zhanying, quietly began.
