Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 132 Base Construction

Everyone took turns to comfort Qi Shu. Qi Shu was so annoyed that he finally promised to take good care of himself, but he insisted on fishing in the river. If he can successfully catch a net of fish, it will greatly alleviate the food crisis in the base. Yes, the food in the base is almost exhausted now, no matter how much food the army has in store, it can’t hold up to the large number of people, even if they only eat a little every day with so many mouths, the accumulation will add up, and after a long winter, Only a small amount of food can be provided by vegetables on indoor shelves, and it is not easy to survive until now.

In fact, when it comes to fishing, the villagers are a little moved. After all, they used to organize manual fishing every year during the Chinese New Year. Now the fish is not dangerous, and they can also add vegetables to the table, so this proposal is just a simple discussion. Passed immediately.

Wujia Village used to have a very large net, enough to cover the river beside their village for tens of meters. Now that net has been buried underground due to the earthquake, and now they can’t be dug out even if they try to dig it out. Fortunately, now The weather outside has warmed up a long time ago, and the river water has basically turned to the same level. This time, it is no longer necessary to fish with huge nets under the ice layer as before. Uncle Seven’s suggestion is to find a few small nets. Together, find a place with a narrow river surface to directly block the net. This method is simple and convenient. Although it is not as large as the method of casting a large net, people are very satisfied with this method.

The team who went to the village to collect supplies earlier picked up a few broken nets, and now they can be used by the women to repair them, because fishing is a big deal every year, so since the fishing nets are repaired, they have not waited for the nets to be released At that time, the villagers couldn't sit still anymore, and whenever they had time, they went to the river for a walk, thinking about where to put the net. Uncle Qi has lived by this river for decades, so even if he doesn't step on it He knows where the river has bends, where there are deep pits, and where there are fish. So once the fishing nets are mended, he starts to predict the weather every day, and calculate when the fish will go down the river. The time for childbirth in the big river downstream, because the winter is missed, it is also the time for large quantities of fishing.

The kiln on the other side was also built vigorously. Because the temperature is low, it is not suitable for construction, but people always have various solutions. Now the first kiln has been repaired. This is the old-fashioned kiln in the brick factory. Although In the later stage, it has basically been disabled, but now it is just right for them to use it. Qin Zhiyuan is now soaking in the kiln every day, watching the built kiln start to burn a furnace from the first full of kiln waste to the inside. The hardness of the red bricks was getting higher and higher, and the quality was getting better and better. His heart was also excited, and then he directed the staff to start building the second kiln. This kiln was once worked in the kiln in the village. A large kiln built by a person in charge, but due to the limitation of coal reserves, the second coal yard cannot be started even after it is built.

But Qin Zhiyuan didn't care, because he heard that after crossing this mountain, there is a coal mine on the other side of the mountain!Although the amount of coal produced is very small and the quality of coal is not good, it is still called coal. In the early years, there were local people who contracted these small coal mines privately and operated them secretly. However, the state issued a policy a few years ago to cancel this private Small coal mines, several small coal pits here were also blown up.

Two days ago, Zhang Shuilai led a team to escort those hooligans to the small coal mine. If they were lucky, they would have a steady supply of coal within half a month.

Qin Zhiyuan stood in front of the kiln with the blueprint in his hand, staring at the workers burning the kiln. This furnace was made of bricks in the past two days. Because of limited manpower and shortage of materials, they could only burn such a small furnace in two days even if they worked overtime. Even standing a few steps away from the kiln, you would still feel the heat wave. Wu Hong stood beside him with his hands behind his back, and sighed, "At this rate, even a year of burning may not be able to build a courtyard wall."

Qin Zhiyuan was in a good mood, and he comforted, "Actually, this is already very good. We had nothing a month ago, and now we are able to fire kilns. I don't plan to build courtyard walls with these bricks. Look at the weather today." I'm afraid it won't be long before spring sowing, let's take these bricks to change some farm tools first, so that we can rest assured that we will not be caught off guard by the weather."

Wu Hong nodded, "That's reasonable, then who do you plan to send to change the farm tools this time?"

Qin Zhiyuan raised one hand and stroked his stubbled chin, thinking about the candidates in his mind, basically all the people under him were separated out, and he didn't dare to send out those who hadn't been used at ordinary times, because he was afraid of doing it. Not good for this task.

Wu Hong saw that he hadn't decided on the candidate after thinking for a long time, so he couldn't help but said, "If you are not sure about this candidate, I have someone to recommend."

"Oh?" Qin Zhiyuan became interested, he asked, "Who is it?"

Wu Hong said, "It's Wu Dongwei. The young man who led the team in our village when we fetched water was young but very steady. Even if he was a little dull, he was still good enough to change farm tools."

Oh, it's him, of course Qin Zhiyuan knows this guy, when Wei Wei came here, he helped their family a lot, and his mother is also a very good person, very warm and generous, Qin Zhiyuan immediately nodded, "OK , you asked him to come to me in the evening, and I told him a few words, and set off after firing another kiln the day after tomorrow.”

Wu Hong was excited when he heard this, and nodded in agreement. His face was calm, but his heart was not calm. At the beginning, everyone couldn't fill their stomachs, so naturally they didn't think so much, but now their life is getting better and better. Seeing It is about to develop. If the base can be built in the future, as the head of Wujia Village, he is obliged to support a few more young men in his own village. Only in this way can they guarantee their right to speak in Wujia Village. Whenever Qin Zhiyuan had something to do in the base, he would assign his subordinates in the army to do it. Even after the villagers also participated in the construction of the base, Qin Zhiyuan still mostly used his own subordinates. When Wu Hong suggested He was still a little apprehensive, afraid that Qin Zhiyuan would feel that he was playing tricks and grabbing power, thinking that Wu Hong had too many expectations for the base, so he asked cautiously, but he didn't expect that Qin Zhiyuan was a bright and cheerful person, and he didn't even think about it. Thinking over there, while he was happy, he despised himself at the same time. He would never engage in such petty tricks again. With Qin Zhiyuan's behavior, even if the base really developed in the future, he would not be biased. .

At this time, Qin Zhiyuan next to him reopened the blueprint in his hand and looked down. At present, they are going to build the fence around the base first, and then improve it a little bit. The fence must be strong enough and safe, and he is going to The base was built into an ancient military fortress, and the hooligans who wandered around from time to time in winter made him vigilant. Although he thought he was not afraid of those hooligans, it would not be worthwhile if he accidentally got caught, so this base It must be built practical, strong and safe!

Now the blueprint in his hand has been modified seven times, but even so, he still feels very dissatisfied. When he was in the military academy, there was a class that specifically explained ancient city defense. He liked this class very much and listened to it very much. Concentrate, but later did not continue to study due to various reasons. Now it is his turn to build the base, and he realizes the regret of using up the book. Whenever he has time these days, he will turn out the pen and paper, and recall the past I recorded the things I learned in school, screened them one by one, combined them, and then applied them to the construction of the base, choosing the best solution. Although the villagers were puzzled that he wanted to build such a strong base, they were still strong. It means safety, so no one raised any objections to it, but one night Qiao Miwei accidentally asked, and Qin Zhiyuan replied, "This is my fortress, and it may be the first and only one I built. A fortress, I certainly hope to build it into what I have in mind."

As for what it looked like, just open the blueprint in his hand to see it. If a few cannons were erected on that tall city wall, this place would simply be an ancient strategic location.

In addition to building towers and other facilities on the city wall, the interior also needs to be overhauled. In addition to earthquake resistance, the city must also have a good drainage system. Digging a moat outside... After hearing this, Qiao Miwei directly touched his forehead and sighed. For such a large project, not to mention the cost, but how long it took to build it. Can they really live to the day when the base is completed? ?Just looking at Qin Zhiyuan excitedly preparing various matters every day, she couldn't bear to discourage his enthusiasm. Anyway, the outer wall was the first to be built. Even if the size of the wall exceeded her expectations, it was still acceptable. of.

During this period, Qiao Miwei was also busy. For nearly a month in a row, when the sun rose at noon, the temperature reached around zero degrees, and the ice layer in the ground began to melt. This temperature is suitable for planting winter wheat. There are no seeds left in the base. But she still has in her hand, the wheat harvested last year was grinded by her and Father Qiao, there is still a lot left, enough for them to plant a large piece of wheat outside, the team led by Qiao Miwei is the original women The needlework team rushed to make cotton clothes all winter, and finally prepared a set of thick coats for everyone in the base, and the weather has warmed up these days, so the women are free. At first they helped with indoor planting There is a team serving those precious vegetables, but these hard-working and careful women are disgusted, because those who manage the shelves of vegetables treat these vegetables as children, and the women have obviously not changed. The role of the child, when facing those vegetables, is a little careless, which makes people's hearts twitch, for fear that they will accidentally pull out a leaf of a vegetable.
