Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Chapter 1708: Comprehensive Retreat!

Dark as ink.

The strong wind swept across the earth like a roaring beast.

The trees swayed in the wind, as if they would be uprooted at any moment. The wind whistled between the intertwined branches, like an invisible arrow, shuttling through the dark night sky.

Big camphor tree base.

buffer city.

At the boiler plant construction site, the boiler plant has now reached the final stage.

The boiler building has been topped off, and a tower crane is moving some heavy equipment and items down.

wind.

There were two workers on the crane arm, holding on to the tower crane frame tightly, and the crane arm was shaking and swaying in the wind.

Inside the tower crane cockpit, the crane driver fainted for unknown reasons.

Ding Jiu, He Chao and Li Haoxian stood under the built factory building and looked at the crane arm swinging in the air.

"The rescue workers have already gone up." Li Haoxian said to the two people next to him.

Ding Jiu looked grim and nodded.

He turned around with a furious look on his face and said angrily to Qian Zheng, the person in charge of the boiler plant construction:

"Didn't we say to stop working at heights an hour ago? Why haven't they been asked to come down yet?"

Qian Zheng's face was heavy, and he said with some guilt:

"The boiler plant was just missing a box of stuff. They said they would just lift it over and it would come down. I thought the wind wasn't that strong at the time, so I agreed. I didn't expect..."

"I didn't expect it! I didn't expect it? There are so many things you didn't expect!"

Ding Jiu pointed at Qian Zheng's nose and cursed:
"I have stressed to you countless times before that project safety comes first, safety comes first. You still don't listen after so many times, right?"

Qian Zheng lowered his head and didn't dare to talk back.

As the chief engineer of the Dazhangshu base, Ding Jiu is responsible for all construction projects at the base, as well as in the northern border and the oil city.

Although Oil City and the North Territory are far away from the headquarters base, the project approval, project progress, etc. in the two places need to be reported to Ding Jiu.

Now, a safety accident occurred in the project at the headquarters base under Ding Jiu's nose, which made Ding Jiu feel a little embarrassed.

On the tower crane.

Two patrol members climbed up along the tower crane column, with safety ropes tied around their bodies, and climbed up little by little in the cold wind.

They were wearing headlamps and looked a little nervous. After all, they were on a pillar dozens of meters high, and everything around them was suspended in the air. Even though they had tied safety ropes, it was still scary.

The two patrol members were considered brave men, so they dared to climb up.

If it were two people who were afraid of heights, they would be scared to death.

soon.

They reached the cockpit and opened the cockpit door.

The tower crane has not been turned off until now because the crane driver fainted.

In windy weather, it is extremely dangerous to keep the power on the tower crane.

As soon as they entered the cockpit, they turned off the power.

The tower crane driver was lying on the operating position at this time, and his life or death was unknown.

Patrolman Bai Yunxin placed a finger on the tip of his nose and said, "He's still breathing."

"See if we can wake him up. Otherwise we can only lower him with a rope or carry him down on our backs," said another patrol member, Yang Jiwen.

Bai Yunxin gently shook the crane driver's shoulder, "Hey, wake up."

No movement.

Bai Yunxin patted his face and said, "Wake up!"

The tower crane driver slowly opened his eyes and woke up.

I looked at Bai Yunxin in confusion, and then I looked around and realized where I was.

"Why did you faint?" Bai Yunxin asked when she saw him wake up.

The driver shook his head and said:

"I don't know. I don't know either. My head suddenly hurt, and then I don't remember anything."

Bai Yunxin stared at him and frowned, "Didn't you have a physical examination?"

"I did it. I came up here because there was no problem."

"How long have you been working continuously?"

"About eight hours."

10 hours is not particularly long and does not count as excessive workload.

So he said, "Let's go down together later. After we go down, you can have a physical examination. You may have a problem with your body."

"Uh-huh."

The driver suddenly stood up and said, "Oh, there are still people on the tower crane. Liu Bing and Sun Ming are still on the boom! How are they now?"

Bai Yunxin pointed to the crane arm and said, "It's still hanging there."

It is too dangerous to climb over from the cockpit. The wind is so strong that you might fall out if you fail to climb over.

They have now cut off the power supply to the tower crane and are trying their best to stabilize it. The rest depends on the luck of Sun Bing and his team.

If you can climb back to the cockpit, you can go down the column from the cockpit together.

If you can't climb back,
Yang Jiwen stood outside the cockpit and shouted to the two workers:
"The power is out. Crawl over here. I'll pick you up here!"

Two workers were holding onto the crane arm frame tightly, they were at least 40 meters above the ground.

The temperature reached zero degrees at this time and the two were shivering with cold.

After hearing what Yang Jiwen said, Liu Bing said to Sun Ming who was holding the frame opposite him:
"Brother Sun, the power is out and the crane is shaking less. Let's climb over."

His voice was trembling with fear and cold.

Sun Ming looked at the safety rope around his waist, gritted his teeth, stretched out his cold hands, and untied the safety rope.

"Brother Sun, what are you doing?" Liu Bing asked in horror when he saw him doing this.

Sun Ming's eyes were firm and decisive.

"We're going too slowly if we tie the safety rope to our way over. We may not be able to hold on for that long. We've got to burn our boats. If we stay here, we'll get exhausted and fall off sooner or later."

After saying that, he crawled towards the cockpit.

Using his hands and feet, he climbed towards the cockpit as quickly as possible while he still had strength.

Liu Bing looked at his crawling back and cursed inwardly.

But feeling his body getting colder and colder, he didn't want to stay here any longer.

We can only give it a try.

Wearing a safety rope is safer, but the speed is too slow.

He also untied the safety rope and climbed up with Sun Ming.

Ten minutes later.

They traveled at almost snail's pace and arrived in front of the cockpit safely.

Yang Jiwen, who was waiting for them here, pulled them over and the three of them entered the cockpit.

Bai Yunxin and the tower crane driver had already climbed down along the pillar when Sun Ming and the other person climbed over.

There are only three of them in the cockpit now.

After being hung in the strong wind for an hour, Sun Ming and the other man were frozen stiff.

"You two take a break for a few minutes, and then we'll get down the tower crane together." Yang Jiwen threw them two pieces of candy and two bottles of water.

Sun Ming tore open the candy wrapper and stuffed it into his mouth.

After resting in the cockpit for a few minutes, they began to climb down.

The wind was blowing hard, but the crane column was much safer than the crane arm.

The moment their feet touched the ground, they were extremely excited. Their families, who had been waiting for a long time, also ran over. The First Outer City.

In the conference room.

My second uncle, eldest uncle, Song Min, Bai Jie, Madi, He Bing, Lao Zhou, Lao Bi and others have all arrived.

Only He Chao and Ding Jiu have not arrived yet.

Li Yu didn't want to wait any longer, so he said to everyone:

"Just to put it simply, it's very windy right now and a heavy snowstorm could come at any time."

"So, starting tomorrow, all guard towers and satellite city garrisons around the base will be withdrawn back to the headquarters base."

"Also, let's ask the people from the mines and sand fields to come back."

The uncle nodded and said:
"Okay, then I will notify them tonight and ask them to retreat as soon as possible."

My eldest uncle is the deputy minister of the military department, and my third uncle is not at the headquarters base, so the power to transfer military personnel lies in the hands of my eldest uncle.

At this moment, the door was pushed open.

He Chao and Ding Jiu stood at the door.

After seeing the two of them, Li Yu asked:
"How are the workers hanging on the crane in Buffer City?"

When Ding Jiu heard this, his expression changed a little. He didn't expect that the city lord knew about this matter.

Fortunately, the safety accident was resolved and no one was killed.

"City Lord, everyone is safe now."

"Yeah." Li Yu watched them come in and closed the door.

He continued to ask:
"How is the construction of the boiler heating system going now?"

He was also worried about this matter. Once the blizzard came, the temperature would not be as simple as around 0 degrees like it is now.

At that time, if there is no heating supply, the people in the inner and outer cities of the Camphor Tree Base will be fine, but those in the buffer city will suffer.

Ding Jiu had just sat down, but immediately stood up after hearing Li Yu's question.

"Sit down and talk." Li Yu waved his hand.

Ding Jiu hesitated for a few seconds, sat down and said:
"The boiler heating project, boiler and main equipment, main pipeline and branch valves have been installed and have passed the acceptance inspection. Now they can be put into use directly."

"Two-thirds of the pipelines in the buffer city have been laid, and those that have been laid can be used directly. Subsequent branch pipelines have been installed and connected to the main pipelines and put into use."

Li Yu thought for a moment and asked, "How long will it take to complete everything?"

"One week." Ding Jiu replied.

It wasn't long. Li Yu nodded and continued to ask:

"What about the heating systems in Oil City and the North? How far have they progressed?"

Ding Jiu had already expected the city lord to ask him this question. He had just asked about the progress in the afternoon.

So he replied:
"The heating system and boiler equipment in the north have been installed, and the heating pipes in the greenhouses have been connected. The residential buildings in the inner city already had heating pipes, so now we only need to install the heating pipes in the outer city. The progress is about the same as at the headquarters base, and it will probably take about a week."

"As for Oil City."

Ding Jiu paused for two seconds and continued:

"The boiler plant in Oil City has already been built, the equipment has been laid, and the pipelines have been laid in Oil City."

"As for the trading market, since there are a large population and a lot of residential buildings in the trading market, the heating pipes have only been laid to the A-level residential area so far. The B-level has just started, and the C-level has not yet started laying pipes."

"If all the paving is completed, it will take at least a month."

One month.

It's been too long, maybe there will be a blizzard tomorrow.

Moreover, Areas B and C have the largest populations, accounting for more than 80% of the population in the trading market.

Li Yu frowned and asked:

"How's the progress in the buffer city over there?"

Ding Jiu replied:
"The enclosure has been completed. The east and north sections are six meters high, but the west and south sections were only built to three meters high as of this afternoon."

“Greenhouses are just beginning to build steel frame structures.”

Ding Jiu pursed his lips and continued:

"City Lord, the wind is so strong right now that it's not suitable for outdoor high-altitude work. I suggest suspending all construction in the buffer city and concentrating manpower on laying pipelines in the trading market."

"With these people, the laying of heating pipes for the trading market can be completed within a week."

According to Li Yu's original plan, he was going to build the buffer city's walls and greenhouses before the freezing disaster.

In this way, the buffer city of the trading market can start growing food.

Even if the freezing disaster lasts for several years, Oil City will be able to supply its own food without the need for support from the North Border and the Great Camphor Tree Base.

But no matter how good the plan is, it cannot keep up with change.

Under the current circumstances, a blizzard may be coming soon, and the use of the heating system is imminent.

We must hurry up.

In addition, due to the strong winds at the moment, the construction is too difficult, so the construction of the buffer city has to be suspended.

"Row."

Li Yu nodded and said to Ding Jiu:

"Then suspend the construction of the buffer city and focus all our efforts on building the boiler heating system."

Compared with the buffer city, it is more important to get the boiler heating system right at the moment.

Overall, after such adjustments, boiler heating in the three locations can basically be completed within a week.

He Chao and the other man came in just now and interrupted the conversation between Li Yu and his uncle.

At this moment, my uncle saw that the discussion about construction issues was almost over.

So he said to Li Yu:

"Xiao Yu, since the sentry towers and mines at the Camphor Tree Base will be withdrawn to the headquarters base tomorrow, the same should be done at the Oil City, right?"

The reason I ask this is because the situation at the headquarters of the Dazhangshu base is somewhat different from that in Oil City.

They have been deeply rooted in Xincheng for many years, and there are almost no forces near the headquarters of the Dazhangshu base, and they are very familiar with the surrounding situation.

The Oil City is the outpost and an enemy that is visible to the Northwest Base.

If the Northwest Base is looking for trouble, it will definitely look for Oil City first.

At this time, the sentry tower becomes particularly important, as it can detect the people from the Northwest Base earlier before the large force from the Northwest Base arrives at the city.

"Let's retreat. The wind is blowing. They are looking for death if they run so far here at this time." Li Yu replied.

"Row."

They also discussed some details of defense against the impending ice disaster, in addition to the boiler heating system.

There are many snowplows in the base, but this is not enough.

Because the cloud cover is so thick this time, the snowfall may reach an outrageous level.

If the snowfall is very heavy, the speed at which snowplows can clear the snow may not even keep up with the speed at which the snow is falling.

In this case, the thickness of the snow is too high to block the road, making it impassable.

So, they built underground passages connecting the main buildings.

The scattered buildings are connected to the main passage or main building by building arched passages or herringbone passages.

This will facilitate the flow of materials.

There is also an upgrade to the ventilation system. If the snow covers the bottom floor,
If ventilation is not done well, once the vents are blocked by snow, the bottom floor will face the problem of lack of oxygen.

Etc., etc.

They considered everything that might happen and prepared for the worst possible outcome.

Regardless of whether the situation will be so dire or not, if it is, at least they are prepared so that the consequences will not be too serious.

Every natural disaster is a tough battle!
