Lotus Mountain is under construction in full swing within a radius of ten kilometers, and a huge steel city wall is rising little by little.
Dozens of engineering mechas worked day and night, and dozens of engineering robots stepped up construction day and night, gradually completing most of the main peripheral parts.
As more and more survivors gather, the number of people in the base increases sharply, and the construction progress is accelerated, but it also faces a serious problem.
"Mr. Zhuo, the number of people in the base has increased dramatically. Food has become a top priority. We don't have enough food in stock."
In the base conference room, a group of high-level personnel were discussing. Currently, several teams went out to search for steel and brought back more survivors. The population in the entire base increased sharply, resulting in insufficient food.
They had to hold urgent consultations and discuss how to solve this problem. After all, there was no food left in major stores and supermarkets in the city.
Mutated mice and mutated insects will not let go of any food. It is impossible for humans to obtain food from the previous food base.
Zhuo Tianfan is in charge of the internal affairs of the entire base. Everyone likes to call him Mr. Zhuo, after all, he is older.
In the past two days, his brows have not relaxed, there are obviously a few more wrinkles, and white hair has quietly appeared on his head.
Annoyed, he was also agitated. He didn't know how to solve the problem of food. The base was currently in a critical period of construction and could not be stopped.
"Everyone has been to the inheritance stone monument. You should know that there is no food exchange on it. This method will not work. Is there anything you can do?" Zhuo Tianfan frowned and asked the opinions of the senior officials present.
Nie Teng thought for a while and suggested: "Our land reclamation group is willing to bear part of the cost and go out to hunt mutant creatures and mutant bugs for food."
"Count us as the second land reclamation group." Li Zhi also said.
Liu Qingqing and Long Xiaoya looked at each other and shook their heads, smiling bitterly and saying: "We have no choice. There are more and more children in the school. We can only count on you not to cut off the children's food."
"Be careful, don't starve those little guys." Zhuo Tianfan assured him by patting his chest.
At this time, a beautiful girl wearing glasses stood up and said: "In front of us, our research team has successfully developed a one-star body tempering potion. As long as the medicinal materials are enough, it can be mass-produced and can be formulated for various people."
The big team just doesn’t know if they agree or not.”
This beauty is none other than Du Jing who was picked up. All team members have been picked up and placed in the base.
Moreover, her team successfully copied the one-star body-tempering potion and fully understood the secrets of its production. As long as there are enough medicinal materials, it can be mass-produced.
"I agree to this!"
At this moment, a figure walked in from outside the conference room door, opened his mouth and said this sentence, which made everyone present stand up in shock.
After a closer look, he discovered that the person coming was none other than Qin Tiange. After a long journey for a day, they were met by a dead soldier battalion who was out hunting for training. The team finally returned to the base safely.
Many people were lost, and the process was uneventful. Qin Tiange returned to the base and happened to see the base's senior officials having a meeting, so he walked in directly.
"Brother Qin!"
"boss!"
Seeing Qin Tiange coming back, everyone looked relaxed, and the tense nerves in their hearts were finally relieved a lot.
Qin Tiange sat in the main seat and glanced at everyone present. There were many more faces, and one of them, Du Jing, had already arrived.
"Du Jing, you did a good job. The potion will be mass-produced immediately and distributed to all battle groups. The overall combat effectiveness of the battle groups must be improved." Qin Tiange gave the order directly.
Since Du Jing's team can mass-produce that one-star potion, that's a good thing, and he can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"Also, leave me some of the potions produced. We have a cooperation agreement with the security area, so I will keep these." He clicked and said no more.
Afterwards, Qin Tiange picked up a document and planning diagram and opened it to look at it. While he was reading it, he compared it with the current situation of the base that he had seen when he came back. At present, the main body of the outer defense circle of the base has been mostly completed, and it is almost finished.
Already working.
"Brother Zhuo, I just brought back more than 10,000 people. You can make arrangements later." Qin Tiange wrote and drew on the plan without raising his head.
Then, he thought for a while and said to Nie Teng and others: "Most of those people are elites who have fought in battles. You can select them and incorporate them into your respective teams."
"yes!"
Nie Teng, Zhuo Tianfan and others immediately understood and then waited quietly. Soon, Qin Tiange finished the planning drawings.
He turned his head and said: "Brother Zhuo, please tell me the current detailed situation of the base."
Zhuo Tianfan took out a note and handed it to him, and then began to describe the current situation of the base, allowing Qin Tiange to gradually understand the development progress of the base during the time he left.
"As a large number of survivors were brought back, some refugees came one after another. Currently, the number of people in our base is close to 100,000, and there is no food." Zhuo Tianfan said and looked at Qin Tiange, and found that the other person looked very pale.
calm.
Qin Tiange tapped his fingers on the table and murmured: "Food? It seems it's time to open up a rice planting area."
"Brother Zhuo, these are golden rice seeds. The yield is said to be eight thousand catties per mu. This is still the lowest estimate. Take it and prepare to lead people to open up a rice field planting area."
As he spoke, he took out the bag filled with golden rice seeds and handed it to Zhuo Tianfan, leaving the latter stunned.
"The yield per acre is at least 8,000 catties?"
The higher-ups here were dumbfounded, but they soon stopped being surprised. Plants have mutated in the apocalypse. There is no reason why rice should not mutate, so there is nothing surprising about the yield of 8,000 kilograms per mu.
Zhuo Tianfan finally relaxed his frown and said with a smile: "Boss, with this thing, our base finally doesn't have to worry about starving to death."
Next, Zhuo Tianfan introduced the development status of the base in detail. With the help of engineering mechas and robots, the construction progress was beyond imagination.
"The first phase of planning has been largely completed. The base is currently large enough to accommodate 500,000 people, but any more will become overcrowded."
Qin Tiange nodded as he listened, pondered for a moment, and then ordered: "Immediately form four city defense regiments, stationed at the four gates of the southeast, northwest, and northwest."
"Lieutenant Shao Feng, the watchtowers and sniper towers on the city wall have been built. Please select personnel to learn how to use electromagnetic high-energy sniper rifles and deploy defenses as soon as possible." Qin Tiange said to Lieutenant Shao Feng, who had been silent.
"Understood!" The latter stood up, saluted with a standard military salute, replied and sat down silently, taking over the matter.
In fact, he did not want to participate in the base's high-level meeting, and even the female special police officer Hu Yu was somewhat instinctively repelled because they came from the security area and were not senior personnel of the base.
When attending a high-level meeting at the base, it felt like we were with them, which made the two officers feel a little uncomfortable.
"Brother Zhuo, all personnel in the base, except minors, must work to the best of their ability. Once people become lazy, they will ruin the overall atmosphere." Qin Tiange made another order.
In the base, there are nearly 100,000 survivors. Except for those underage children, everyone else must participate in labor to speed up the construction of the base and give all survivors hope to survive.
Only labor can make people temporarily forget fear and blindness, and only labor can bring a sense of security to people in the apocalypse.
Once you are free, you will have random thoughts and it will be more difficult to manage by then. It is better to start rectifying the internal situation now and create a good atmosphere.
In the future, more and more survivors will gather here, and they will be affected by the good atmosphere here. Love of labor is the most basic virtue of human beings.
"Okay, that's the end of today's meeting, let's go and get busy."
Soon, the meeting was dissolved. Qin Tiange hurried out of the conference room and was about to go to Lotus Mountain to have a look, but a charming figure hurriedly ran behind him.
"Tian Ge, the commander would like to ask you to go to the garrison headquarters as soon as possible. He said that he has something important to discuss."
Hu Yu hurried up and told the matter directly. It turned out that it was Commander Chen Wu who sent the message, asking him to go to the security area to discuss something.
"Commander Chen?" Qin Tiange frowned slightly after hearing this, and couldn't help but guess, why did the old commander ask him to go on guard?
He didn't ask any more questions, thinking that Hu Xiu didn't understand either and was just conveying the information on his behalf.
