Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Chapter 1634 Boiler room? Li Yu went to Oil City to get help!

November 10th.

The Dazhangshu base water plant was officially completed on this day.

They opened up the Sangang Reservoir in the northwest and brought the water from the reservoir into the buffer city.

Although the water stored in Sangang Reservoir is not as much as that in Nanwan Lake Reservoir near the oil city,

But it is also the largest reservoir within a radius of dozens of kilometers.

It is sufficient to support industrial, agricultural and domestic water use in the large camphor tree base.

Li Yu and a group of senior leaders from the headquarters base came together to inspect the constructed water plant.

Liu Ming, who was in charge of the construction of the water plant, also specially hung a banner: Congratulations on the completion of the water plant at the Dazhangshu base!
The water plant was built between the agricultural planting area and the industrial production area of ​​the buffer city.

Because in the buffer city, these two areas consume the most water resources.

In the current Dazhangshu base, some heavy industries with serious pollution are gradually moved from outside the inner and outer cities to the buffer city.

Some relatively high-tech factories and light industries are retained in the inner and outer cities.

Such as the arsenal, zombie research institute, natural disaster research institute, machinery manufacturing factory, agricultural development institute, etc.

Ding Jiu and Liu Ming were waiting to greet them at the gate of the water plant. Li Yu walked in front, followed by his second uncle, eldest uncle, second uncle, Song Min, He Chao and others.

Seeing Li Yu, Ding Jiu and Liu Ming came forward.

"City Lord, let me show you around the entire water plant..."

Li Yu nodded, "Yeah."

Ding Jiu took Li Yu into the water plant and first came to the original water pool.

"The construction of this water plant is almost the same as that of the Oil City. It was built using their drawings. There are a total of eight pools, divided into..."

"It can meet the needs of more than 100,000 people's daily life, as well as industrial and agricultural water needs."

The pool had been opened long ago and was now full of water.

Li Yu squatted down and scooped up a handful of water from the original pool.

The water had been soaked by zombies, but it didn't smell like much.

The water looks clear to the naked eye, but if you look at it through a microscope, you'll find that it's full of microorganisms.

Li Yu stayed in the water plant for more than an hour and took a rough look at the entire plant.

It hasn't rained yet, but the water problem has been solved.

According to the current water storage capacity of the Sangang Reservoir, even if there is no rain in the next three years, it will be sufficient to supply water to the large camphor tree base.

After visiting the water plant, Li Yu turned his head and asked Ding Jiu:

"How's the progress of the boiler room I told you about earlier?"

Ding Jiu glanced at Qian Zheng behind him, and Qian Zheng stood up and said:

"City Lord, the boiler room is currently undergoing wall construction. It is expected to be completed in half a month. The main work is the installation of boiler equipment, piping, electrical equipment, ventilation, and automatic control systems. I'm afraid it will take a lot of time."

Li Yu frowned and asked, "How long will it take?"

"About two months." Qian Zheng replied.

"No, it's too slow." Li Yu shook his head.

Ding Jiu asked in confusion: "City Lord, why are you in such a hurry? Other factories in the buffer city are also under construction. If we want to speed up the construction of the boiler room, we can only transfer manpower from other factories."

Li Yu took the two to a place with few people.

He felt that he should tell the two people the purpose of doing this and let them know the urgency of the matter.

"The ultimate goal of building a boiler room is to provide heating."

"Ah?" Ding Jiu was a little confused.

Generally speaking, the application fields of boilers are very wide.

The main industries include power, chemical, light industry, textile, paper, food and other industries. Among them, the power industry is one of the most important application areas of boilers. Boilers heat water into steam by burning fuels such as coal, oil and gas, which drives the steam turbine to generate electricity.

However, their camphor tree base now has zombie generators, so they basically don't need any other ways to obtain electricity.

So he thought Li Yu wanted to build boilers, mainly for industrial use. Boilers provide high-temperature, high-pressure steam for chemical production and are used to produce various chemicals.

In addition, it is also used in agriculture. The boiler provides high-temperature, high-pressure steam for grain drying, making the grain easier to store and transport, which makes it convenient to transport grain to the oil city.

"Heating? But we already have air conditioners and electric heaters for heating in the inner and outer cities. Why do we still need heating?" Ding Jiu asked his doubts.

The biggest role of boilers in people's livelihood is heating and hot water.

The boiler can heat water into hot water or steam and transport it through pipes to places where heating or hot water is needed.

Li Yu shook his head and asked:

"What about the buffer city? The temperature has not been cold in the past six months, but if the temperature drops below zero, with so many greenhouses in the buffer city, and if we add the heating for the third and fourth level personnel, the power from the zombie generators alone will not be enough."

"Also, the heating must be diversified so that if one of the heating methods fails, we will not have an alternative option."

"I understand." Ding Jiu nodded heavily.

He understood what Li Yu meant.

"Is it because of the clouds in the sky?" Qian Ming asked.

Li Yu said, "Almost. Anyway, we need to build the boiler room as soon as possible, and then quickly lay out the pipes to connect the residential buildings, the already built factory buildings, and the greenhouses in the base with heating pipes."

"I understand." Ding Jiu nodded.

Construction is also underway in the third outer city, digging a larger underground space to house zombie generators.

But since the construction of the greenhouse in the buffer city, the required electricity has increased tenfold.

In other words, the temperature has not dropped much in the past six months. Otherwise, if there is extremely cold weather, many greenhouses in the buffer city will not be able to guarantee a good harvest this season.

The large camphor tree base has developed too fast. Originally, when there were only inner and outer cities, the electricity needed could be fully covered by the zombie generators.

Once the greenhouses in the buffer city were built, more and more factories were built and the demand for electricity soared.

The amount of electricity they consume now is almost the same as that needed by a small town before the end of the world.

Ding Jiu calculated in his mind and said:

"City Lord, this time we excavate the underground space of the third outer city, and it is estimated that we can place 10,000 zombie generators. It is expected that we can produce enough electricity to meet the needs of the buffer city."

"So it doesn't matter if the boiler room is not built, we can still rely on heaters for heating."

Li Yu closed his eyes and said patiently:

"I repeat, what I want is stability and security. It is not safe to rely on a single method to generate electricity or a single method to provide heating."

"Before, some of the solar photovoltaic panels were broken, and the electricity generated by those photovoltaic panels could only serve as a supplement."

"Now the zombie generators account for too much of the power generation. In order to ensure a stable power supply in case of accidents, we must build a boiler room!"

Ding Jiu said with shame: "The city lord has a far-reaching idea. How about this? I will temporarily stop the factories in the buffer city and concentrate manpower on building the boiler room. In addition, I will also advance the underground construction in the third outer city as soon as possible."

"How long?" Li Yu asked.

Ding Jiu estimated and replied:
"If we add all the pieces together in two months, we will definitely be able to build it."

"No, it's too slow. Didn't you say half a month just now? How come it became two months again?" Li Yu asked with a frown.

Qian Zheng couldn't help but interrupted, "City Lord, the two months you just mentioned refers to the equipment installation and pipeline installation."

Li Yu held up a finger and said, "One month, it will be completed within one month!"

“One month!?” Qian Zheng took a breath of cold air.

This time is too tight! Ding Jiu smiled bitterly and said: "City Lord, the time you gave is too short. I really can't do it."

Li Yu raised his head and looked at the sky, saying faintly:

"If there is an ice blizzard now, do you know how big the impact will be on our base?"

Ding Jiu was silent.

Over the past six years, the city lord had given him construction tasks one after another.

And almost every construction task is rushed!

There were times when he felt it was impossible to accomplish, but he finally completed it.

The task assigned to him this time was the most urgent one ever.

“City Lord, in this case, I need to stop all construction projects in Buffer City and concentrate all my efforts on building this boiler room.

In addition, equipment installation and pipeline installation also require manpower. At present, there is not enough manpower. I need you to give me more manpower. "

The total population of the Dazhangshu base has now reached 7700.

Among them, there are more than 2000 combat personnel in the three major departments: Operations Department, Civilian Armed Forces Department, and Security Department.

There are 1000 people working in agricultural planting, breeding farms, industries and other factories.

There are also 300 people scattered outside at outposts and mines.

There were more than 1000 people going out to search for supplies and transport them.

There are also various housekeeping staff, totaling 500 people.

There are less than 2000 workers dedicated to construction in the buffer city.

This is in stark contrast to the abundant human resources in the oil city.

Not counting the population inside Oil City, there are already 100,000 level 4 and 5 personnel in the trading market alone.

A population gap of more than ten times.

After hearing Ding Jiu talk about the problem of labor shortage, Li Yu sighed with emotion.

In the past two years, in order to support the development of the Oil City Trading Market and the Northern Territory, the headquarters base has sent too many people there.

Not to mention the combatants alone, there are 500 people in the North.

There are more than a thousand people in Oil City.

In addition, when the trading bazaar was first planned and established, 1500 level 4 partners were provided support.

When production resumed in the North, 300 people were also sent there.

Together with experts and technicians from all walks of life,
All in all, at least 4000 people were transferred from the headquarters base to the two branch bases.

4000 people!

There are relatively few survivors around the Dazhangshu base. Since Guangdong Province in the south and Fujian Province in the east are close to the sea, they have been greatly affected by the natural disaster and the number of survivors is relatively small.

The oil city located in the Central Plains had a relatively dense population before the end of the world. In addition, since it was located in the Central Plains, there were survivors from all directions, making it relatively easy to absorb the population.

After the oil city's trading bazaar was built, it began to promote itself vigorously, which had a significant effect in attracting population.

There is no publicity at the Dazhangshu base, and everything depends on the survivors joining naturally, so the population growth is extremely slow.

"It's time for the Oil City to give back to the Camphor Tree Base." Li Yu thought to himself.

It’s just that we need to think carefully about who should be allowed to trade in the market.

"City Lord?" Ding Jiu couldn't help but remind Li Yu when he saw him in a trance.

Li Yu collected his thoughts, thought for a moment and said to Ding Jiu:

"How many people do you need to complete the task within a month?"

Ding Jiu said, "There are less than 2000 construction workers on the site at present. If we want to complete the construction within a month, you need to give me at least 2000 more people."

"Row."

Li Yu nodded and said, "No problem, I will find a way to get you at least 2,000 people within five days!"

Hearing the city lord's agreement, Ding Jiu and Qian Zheng looked at Li Yu in surprise. 2000 people!

Not 20 people!

Where can we find 2000 people in such a short time of five days!
The two looked at each other, their eyes full of confusion. They didn't know where Li Yu planned to find 2000 people from.

"Okay, you guys should hurry up and push this matter forward. As for the water plant, the Minister of Industry will come to take over. You guys should hand it over then."

After Li Yu finished speaking, he left quickly.

Qian Zheng looked at Li Yu's back as he left, and asked Ding Jiu doubtfully:
"Chief Engineer, where did the city lord find these 2000 people?"

Ding Jiu shook his head, "I don't know either, huh? That's not right."

An idea suddenly came to his mind, and he remembered a piece of news he heard from Song Min two days ago, that the population of the trading market had exceeded 100,000.

When the trading bazaar was just launched, there was a lack of skilled construction workers and technical teams, so they were sent over from the headquarters base.

Now that the city lord is so confident, perhaps these two thousand people can be found from the Oil City.

"Maybe they transferred people from the trading market in Oil City." Ding Jiu guessed.

Qian Zheng's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"Yes, I heard there are a lot of people at the trading market. It would be great if we could transfer Engineer Jie and Engineer Liu back."

Ding Jiu shook his head and smiled, "Not very realistic. The trading market will probably have to build boilers later, and they are also planning to build a buffer city wall. Now that Jie Gong has left, there's no one at the helm!"

"Ok."

After Li Yu left the buffer city, he found his second uncle who had returned early and told him what he had talked about with Ding Jiu.

"Send people back from the trading market?" Uncle Er heard this and said with some concern:

"But the trading market has a complex personnel structure, and there may be hidden dangers if they are transferred to the headquarters base."

"so."

Li Yu knocked on the table and said:
"So, I plan to transfer those who have been in the trading market for more than half a year. These people are definitely not from the northwest."

"or."

Li Yu thought about it and continued, "We can also bring the former Northern Territory affiliated teams that have moved to the trading market here."

After the fall of the North, in order to support the construction of the Oil City Trading Market, all the North's affiliated forces were invited to move south and enter the trading market to carry out construction.

Nearly ten teams, including the Garbage Group, Tattoo Gang, Chengde Mountain Resort, Dawn Group, Iron Blood Gang, and Jiming Hall, moved into the trading market.

The number of people reached about two to three thousand.

"But they have been staying in the trading market for so long, some of them may not want to leave." Uncle Er said worriedly.

Li Yu touched his chin.
"The construction points offered here are more than those in the Oil City Trade Fair, and there are also various hidden benefits. They should come. Besides, they have no choice!"

After he finished speaking, he stood up with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"I'm going to go to the trading market to have a look."

When Second Uncle heard Li Yu say that he was going to the trading market, he rarely said anything to stop him.

In recent months, there has been a lot of news coming from the trading market.

The rapid changes
It would be nice to go over and take a look.
