Time passed quickly. Nearly a month passed. During this period, Zhu Tian's soldiers would clean up some zombies that appeared near the base from time to time. This allowed Zhu Tian to get one hundred and forty-five without leaving the gate.
An energy crystal!
These energy crystals were tested by Xiaoxin and found to contain 4350 energy points! This instantly enriched Zhu Tian's deposits in the mall!
In view of the increasing population of the base, which has exceeded 200 people, and his own military strength is currently somewhat stretched, Zhu Tian waved his hand and purchased another hundred genetically cloned soldiers in the mall!
It just so happened that one hundred rifles purchased from Zhao Tianqiang last time came in handy. This brought Zhu Tian's men to one hundred and thirty-two men. It was basically a reinforced company!
However, the combat effectiveness of these soldiers must be much higher than that of ordinary soldiers. After all, they are all well-trained special forces. Although their personal physical fitness is only the peak of ordinary people, their combat skills are extremely powerful!
In this month, the entire Daming base has also developed rapidly.
First, there is the construction of infrastructure.
The entire base wall has been successfully pushed 200 meters toward the outer edge of the villa area, opening up about forty acres of open space.
The semi-destroyed wooden villas on the periphery were basically bulldozed by the survivors, but the foundations underneath them could be used directly.
As for the electrical appliances and furniture in the small villas, they were all moved to the open space. If they were repairable, they would be used, and if they were not repairable, they would be dismantled into parts.
Li Chengwei, the chief architectural designer of the base, commanded several construction teams and rebuilt several more recommended dormitory buildings on the existing foundations.
This simple dormitory building with a three-story structure can accommodate 30 residents each. As for why so many buildings were built, it was naturally under Zhu Tian's instruction to prepare for future recruitment.
Three of the buildings have been basically completed and occupied, and the remaining ones are under construction.
In addition, three-story hardened cement watchtowers were also built at the four corners of the base. That is, in the southeast, northwest and southeast corners of the entire villa area. Light machine guns were set up on the watchtowers and were simply covered outside.
A layer of camouflage net was installed, and a soldier was placed on guard in each tower.
Due to the remote location of the villa area, the danger from zombies is not high, so the only objects that Daming Base needs to guard against at present are other survivors with ulterior motives in the wilderness.
But most survivors will just walk around when they see walls and machine guns.
After another month, the sentry machine guns should be replaced here. Zhu Tian has already placed an order with Zhao Tianqiang's military factory for 4 sentry machine guns, each with a unit price of 10,000 credits.
Point, it can be laser-guided shooting and can automatically identify heat source signals.
This kind of purely handmade high-tech gadgets are generally relatively expensive, and the output is extremely low. After all, some parts can only be modified by scrap recycling or other parts.
In addition to these defense equipment, Li Chengwei also built a simple community center in the middle of the newly expanded area in accordance with Zhu Tian's instructions.
At present, the main function of this community center is just to serve as a canteen and conference room. Currently, only one floor has been built, and the plan is to build a three-story building.
Now the drinking water in the entire Daming base is connected to the underground water system, so there is no shortage of clean water sources in the base.
The power system was installed with solar power panels by electricians among the survivors, and the current power generation capacity in the base has reached 30 kilowatts per hour.
If used sparingly, this amount of electricity is enough to meet the base's electricity needs for a day. The excess electricity is stored in energy-gathering batteries the size of oil barrels for warehouse refrigeration equipment and night use.
On the other hand, due to the huge amount of supplies Zhu Tian brought last time, Li Xinran instructed Li Chengwei to build two larger granaries in the villa area.
The granary is built according to a composite structure. Non-perishable food is stored in the upper part. A storage space is dug out underground and surrounded by insulation boards to store food with a relatively low shelf life.
There is a refrigeration device obtained from the last trade with the Zhao Group. Now when you go into the underground granary to get food, you have to wear a thick cotton jacket. The entire basement is as cold as a big freezer.
These two granaries are also major power consumers of the entire base, and basically half of the power resources are allocated to maintaining the operation of the refrigeration device.
Within a month, Zhu Tian completed another transaction according to the original agreement with Zhao Tianqiang.
The trade amount reached 100,000 credit points, which was basically the same as the previous trade volume. The materials exchanged were basically in short supply for base construction, such as refrigeration devices, energy-gathering batteries and other application equipment, as well as arms supplies and special cement.
For things like raw materials, steel and other building materials, the trade surplus is 2300 credits.
However, Zhu Tian left all these things to Li Xinran, and these were also requested by Li Xinran himself.
She didn't want to be a vase, so she wanted to find something to do to prove her ability. Zhu Tian was happy to see this happen.
And through what happened in the past month, Zhu Tian also discovered that this girl is still very suitable to be a housekeeper. Li Xinran happens to be in charge of foreign trade, while Chen Lan is in charge of domestic material distribution.
The two women complement each other, and Zhu Tian acts as a hands-off shopkeeper and can be his own boss. He lives a relatively comfortable life.
At night, he transformed into a big devil and whipped them as much as he wanted... Well, it was mainly to recharge their batteries and make them more motivated to do things!
On this day, during lunch time, Zhu Tian sat between the two women and ate, talking and laughing from time to time.
Now the base is undergoing large-scale construction in full swing. Since all foreign trade is now left to Li Xinran, Zhu Tian only gives suggestions from one side.
After all, the construction of the base cannot be saved, and credits must be spent as much as possible to maximize its value. What they need more when they are still in the basic stage of construction are production equipment, construction materials, and life-saving weapons!
At least as far as "setting" is concerned, he, the agent of the Daming Grain Trading Company, is still focusing on establishing a "supply station" as his first priority. If he doesn't buy more of these things in the early stage, it is a bit suspicious to ask Zhao Tianqiang to buy building materials in the later stage.
Already.
You said that since you are trading with survivor bases outside the province, some things are inconvenient to be transported from the headquarters and need to be purchased locally. Everyone can understand this. But you can just buy some raw materials such as steel and cement and keep them here.
It doesn’t make sense to build a house and build a wall, right?
If there really is a company headquartered in another province, you have to send some profits back, right? If you can't find any other excuse, I'm afraid it's really not easy to get over this issue.
Therefore, the ratio of trade surplus had to be gradually increased to create the illusion of "delivering energy crystals from trade to the company headquarters." The "covenant" between him and Zhao Tianqiang was originally based on lies, so how to continue to fulfill this lie?
It's very important to get down.
After hearing Zhu Tian's praise during the meal, Li Xinran obviously felt better. Then she smiled, as if she had thought of something, and said, "By the way, Brother Tian. The nearby survivor groups noticed us.
He tentatively wanted to contact us."
"Survivor group?" Zhu Tian frowned. The chopsticks holding the food stopped in mid-air!
"Yes. Not all survivors like to be governed by others, so some survivors join forces to carve out a certain living space in some villages or small communities in the wild, but on a very small scale. And the currently known community levels around our base
There are 57 survivor groups in total, with the small ones having only two families and the large ones having 20 or 30 families. Of course, this is just a rough count."
"So many?" Zhu Tian looked at Li Xinran in surprise.
Well, Zhu Tian admitted that he was a bit depraved. During the day, he stayed in the villa playing games with the little lolita Li Xinyan, and at night he played games with the two girls in bed.
He hadn't been out for a long time, so he really didn't know much about the distribution of forces in the wilderness. When he heard Li Xinran's story, Zhu Tian thought about it for a while and said directly: "Don't worry about them! If they dare not listen,
Warning, if you break in rashly, you will be killed without mercy!"
