Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Chapter 1625 Great development opportunities during drought!

Jingle Bell--

A clear ringing sound cut through the entire trading market.

bang bang bang --

The heavy gates of the trading bazaar moved toward the center with a bang and finally merged.

As the sun sets, the doors of the trading bazaar are completely closed.

The trading market gate opens at 8 am and closes at 6 pm.

Without exception, it will open and close at these two points.

Oil City.

Liu Jinglue and Li Zhengping went to their uncle to report their work.

Uncle San just came down from upstairs at this time. When he saw Liu Jinglüe, he asked, "How many survivors have flowed in today?"

Liu Jinglue quickly said: "Today's influx of people has reached 8000, and the current trading market population has reached 108920."

Uncle San raised his head and sighed, "Unknowingly, the population of the trading market has reached 100,000 people."

"Zhengping, what do you want to talk to me about?" Uncle San looked at Li Zhengping and asked.

Li Zhengping said seriously, "Another public security incident occurred in the commercial district today. The patrol team is currently short of manpower. I want to expand the patrol team or transfer manpower from other departments."

Uncle San frowned, thought for a moment and said:

"Okay, tomorrow I'll ask Chen Er's brigade to dispatch a squadron to help you."

"Okay." Li Zhengping felt relieved when he heard his uncle agreed.

The population of the trade fair has increased recently, and many of them are visiting the trade fair for the first time.

These people had heard of the trade fair before, but had never been there.

Later, when they learned that there was a water plant here, they rushed in.

There is a water shortage outside now. Although there are ways to get water, the water supply is unstable and it involves great risk to life, which is not worth it.

So they all came to the trading market.

The entry of this group of people also gave;
The policing of the trading bazaar brought pressure.

Uncle San said to Li Zhengping:
"There are many people at the market now. You should lead the patrol team to be careful not to cause a big riot. It's a very chaotic time now. We should use iron-blooded means and never be soft-hearted. In addition, we must strengthen the standardized management of the market to prevent unexpected accidents."

Li Zhengping nodded and said seriously, "I understand, Uncle San. We shot and killed the robber and rioter today on the spot."

"Well, do you two have anything else to do?" Uncle San asked.

Liu Jinglue hesitated and said:

"There is one thing. I found that some of the survivors came in not to enter the trading market, but to buy water. I thought, why not lead a water pipe to the outside of the gate so that water can be sold outside the trading market."

"Today, when the gate was closed, the city was packed with people waiting in line to get in. If this continues, we won't be able to check all the people."

The drought has lasted for more than four months, and water resources are becoming increasingly scarce.

The trade market can provide clean water, which is a huge temptation for the survivors.

"That's fine. You can talk to Xie Changshan about this tomorrow or today."

"Okay." Liu Jinglue nodded.

Regarding water, many people only use 0.03 liters of water at most, which costs about points.

About the price of a taco.

"However, is the selling price the same as in the trading market?" Liu Jinglue asked.

"You can discuss this with Zhong Chuchu and the others." Uncle San replied.

Since the water plant was built, the price of clean water in the trading market has dropped a lot.

Today, each liter of water is sold at 0.001 points.

100 liters of water is only 0.1 points, which is very cheap.

100 liters of water doesn’t even cost as much as a tortilla, which is 0.25 points.

Liu Jinglue asked again with some concern:
"The number of people entering the trading market is increasing every day. Should we control the influx of population?"

This question happened to be the question that Uncle San had been thinking about these days.

He also felt that although the continued population growth seemed to be a good thing, it would pose hidden risks to the safety of the trading market and the oil city.

The third uncle opened his mouth and replied:

"I will discuss the question you asked with the headquarters base and inform you of the result."

"it is good."

After the two finished reporting their work, they left and went to the cafeteria.

Uncle San went to the conference room and sat down next to the operator.

"Contact the headquarters base, ask the city lord and the president to take their positions, and tell them that I have something to discuss with them."

"Yes!" The operator was startled when he heard the sudden voice behind him.

Uncle San walked so quietly that the operator didn't notice him until he sat down.

A few minutes later.

The operator turned to Uncle San and said, "Minister, the city lord and the president at the headquarters are ready and can communicate at any time."

At the same time, he stood up and made way for his uncle.

Uncle San didn't hesitate and sat in his seat directly and put on the headset.

"I'm Li Hongqian, second brother, Xiaoyu, are you all here?"

In the base of the big camphor tree.

Li Yu, who had just returned from jogging, was stopped by his second uncle and brought to the inner city conference room together.

Li Yu had a towel around his neck. He moved closer to the radio and said, "I can hear you, Uncle San. Go ahead."

Uncle San didn't waste any words and said straight to the point:
"After the water plant was built, the population entering the market increased dramatically. Now the population in the market has reached 10."

"I'm thinking that the market has limited capacity. Should we raise the threshold for entry into the market from now on to avoid too many people in the market causing riots or other problems?"

Uncle San explained the whole process, consequences and the problem in just a few words.

Upon hearing this, Li Yu glanced at his second uncle next to him.

Sat down silently.

He was actually quite surprised that the population of the trading bazaar was growing so fast!
Half happy, half sad.

As far as he knew, Nanwan Lake was huge. Before the end of the world, it was the largest lake in Central Plains. It was more than ten times larger than the West Lake in Hangzhou. The water area reached 75 square kilometers, and the total water storage volume reached more than ten billion cubic meters.

One cubic meter of water weighs about one ton.

This means that there are more than ten billion tons of water in Nanwan Lake.

With so much water, it would be a piece of cake to feed hundreds of thousands or even millions of people.

He has also been thinking about a question recently: how long the drought will last and what the accumulated clouds in the sky will cause.

After thinking for a long time, he realized that all they could do was to develop the base.

Without foresight, we can only proceed step by step, enhance our strength and improve technology.

Since the Dazhangshu base evolved from the "Guo" strategy to the "Tuo" strategy two years ago, the overall strength of Dazhangshu has been like a running train that cannot be stopped.

If it was placed at the large camphor tree base a few years ago, there would be no such problem at all.

When the natural disaster came, they closed the door and ignored the other survivors outside.

Staying safely in the base to weather the natural disaster. But now it is different, the power of the big camphor tree has developed to this point, and it is impossible to stop it.

After so many years since the apocalypse, the number of survivors has become increasingly smaller.

It can be expected that the future population will also be an extremely important strategic resource.

Ensuring that more people survive has become the goal of the Dazhangshu Base.

They no longer stay in a turtle shell and engage in small fights like they did before.

The current camphor tree base is too large and much more powerful.

Looking at it from the perspective of the future, their vision and pattern are much broader than before.

We should try to retain as much population as possible.

Otherwise, if you only rely on upgrading in the later stage, the speed will be too slow and the time period will be too long.

Now that there is an opportunity to expand the population of the trading market again, why not do it?

Absorbing population can enhance strength and influence.

At the same time, the increase in talents can also promote progress in various aspects and even in science and technology.

As long as they become strong enough, solving the Northwest will be a small problem.

After thinking for a long time, Li Yu said:

"I think there is no need to restrict survivors from entering the trading market."

Upon hearing this, the second uncle looked at Li Yu in surprise. He originally thought that Li Yu would impose restrictions. After all, the current drought has not ended yet, and the accumulated clouds in the sky are terrifying.

The more people flock to the trading market at this time, the greater the management pressure will be if an unexpected natural disaster occurs later!
Is this still the steady Xiaoyu in his eyes?

"What do you think, second brother?" asked Uncle San.

The second uncle took a deep breath and said:
"I think we should take it slow. With so many people pouring in all at once and natural disasters full of uncertainty, the trading market might get overcrowded! If we don't restrict the survivors from entering and a riot breaks out, it will be hard to manage."

"It's not easy for the trading market to reach this point. We need to keep it stable."

Upon hearing this, Li Yu retorted:

"Have you ever thought about building a buffer city in the trading market in advance?"

"Now that there are so many survivors joining us, why not just use them to build a buffer city? Then we can stuff all the level 5 members into the buffer city."

"Buffer city?!?" Uncle Er was a little shocked when he heard that.

"But... but it's easy to let them in, but we have to pay for their construction with food! We have to feed so many people, the food pressure is too great!"

Li Yu laughed softly:

"We can afford it. Our current food reserves can at least support us for half a year of full development!"

"More than four months have passed since the thunderstorm disaster. The crops of 20,000 acres in the North Border and the headquarters base buffer city have been harvested one after another! All the food can be harvested before the end of this month! With this food, it will not be a problem to feed these people for half a year."

"In addition, as long as the buffer city of the trading market is built within half a year, and then a greenhouse is built in the buffer city of the trading market, a positive cycle can be achieved."

Li Yu has been thinking a lot these days.

The population surge at the trading market did not happen today; he knew about it a few days ago.

When he learned the news, he had an idea.

Take advantage of the population growth to strengthen the power of Dazhangshu and resolve the northwest first.

Then we will try to find other meteorites and completely put an end to the problem of natural disasters.

Only development is the hard truth.

The siphon effect of the population explosion will lead to faster construction speed, and more people can be saved, which will produce more food.

More food can feed more people.

Since future natural disasters are unpredictable, passive defense and maintaining the basic base are no longer feasible.

Then more and more people will be created, forming a positive cycle: the more things are built, the more food there will be.

The faster the base develops.

After being reminded by Li Yu, the second uncle was stunned for a moment.

Only then did he remember that the grain reserves at the large camphor tree base were already huge.

More than four months ago, when the thunderstorm disaster had just ended, more than 10,000 acres in the north and the newly built greenhouses at the headquarters of the Dazhangshu Base were planted with crops.

Apart from anything else, there are already 20,000 tons of grain that have been harvested and are piled up in the granaries in the North Border and the Dazhangshu Base.

Moreover, due to the use of greenhouse cultivation methods, crop growth is minimally affected by natural disasters and can produce food continuously.

So, there is basically no problem with the food pressure he mentioned.

My second uncle was a little emotional. The plate was so big that the productivity that was unleashed was truly amazing.

Their large camphor tree base used to produce only a few thousand tons of grain each year from crops grown in greenhouses in the inner and outer cities.

Now the grain production in the first quarter has reached tens of thousands of tons, a tenfold increase!

Second Uncle was silent for a long time, still feeling a little uneasy.

So he opened his mouth and said:
"There's no problem with food, but there may be some pressure on the management of the trading market. We don't have any experience managing a base with more than 100,000 people."

As soon as the voice fell, Uncle San said:
"Second brother, you don't have to worry about this."

"Survivors who enter the trading market must hand in their weapons. Without weapons, we will be able to suppress any riot that occurs."

Use severe punishments to deal with chaos.

This is vividly reflected in the trading market.

Up to now, the rules set by the trading market are that survivors are not allowed to rob or engage in physical conflicts.

If violated, those involved will be killed.

No matter how hot-tempered a survivor is, I can't control you outside, but once you enter the trading market, you must be honest.

There is no cost of trial and error here, and it doesn’t matter whether you repent, cry, or kneel down and beg for mercy.

As long as you violate the trading market management regulations, there is only one outcome.

dead!
They have posted the regulations on the city gates, inside the city walls, and even in conspicuous places in the trading market.

Anyone who dares to make mistakes like this is only seeking his own death.

Therefore, in Uncle San's opinion, as long as there is no chaos in the Oil City, the trading market will not be chaotic.

Even though tens of thousands of people were rioting in the trading market, they were armed with hot weapons and could easily crush the unarmed survivors.

And these survivors will not be so stupid as to cause trouble in the trading market.

Because that is a dead end.

After hearing what the third uncle said, the second uncle wanted to find some reasons to oppose Li Yu's idea.

But there seems to be no problem either in terms of food or management.

He couldn't think of any other questions for a moment.

I had to say: "I haven't thought of any possible problems for the time being, but I'd better think about this matter carefully."

Uncle San also said, "Don't worry. The current trading market is designed to accommodate a population of 18 people, and now there are less than 11 people."

"However, it would be best if the decision was made in the next few days, because if we want to build a buffer city, we need to prepare it in advance."

"Okay, Uncle San, we will hold a seminar at our headquarters in the next two days to pool ideas and listen to everyone's thoughts." Li Yu replied.

"Okay, I'll wait for your news."
