Rebirth In The Apocalypse: Start By Building The Strongest Base

"No, you have to find a way to continue to identify the fundamental problem and improve the yield!"

Faced with the current defect rate, Qin Jin couldn't accept it.

So he directly put pressure on Dong Hui and the others.

"Don't worry, President Qin, we will definitely find the problem as soon as possible. I will dedicate my old life to solving it! If I can't, I will get out of the base myself!"

Dong Hui was issuing a military order to himself.

"There's no need to say that. Just do your best. You can come to me anytime if you have any problems, and I will also try to help you."

Qin Jin patted Dong Hui and Wang Bin on the shoulders, putting pressure on them while also encouraging them.

"President Qin, please rest assured!"

Dong Hui and Wang Bin said in unison.

In fact, even without President Qin's order, Dong Hui would do his best.

Because it was the boss's family search plan that allowed him to find his mother.

Although his father had passed away, being able to bring his mother back made him feel that the boss was his benefactor.

He hadn't forgotten the promise he made when they first met at the chemical factory.

He really helped him find his family.

So now he would sell his life to the boss.

This was a promise between true men.

There were no written contracts.

But it was extremely firm.

Wang Bin also applied for family rescue, but unfortunately, he didn't find his family. However, the Green Source Base's actions greatly deepened his sense of belonging to this place.

A base that was ruthless externally but humane internally.

It always gave people a sense of belonging.

Qin Jin continued to communicate with them for a long time.

Until it was almost noon.

He told them to continue their efforts and walked back to his office.

Sitting in his chair.

He crossed his hands, propped his chin, and pondered.

According to the current bullet production speed, only a thousand or less than two thousand rounds per day was a bit slow.

And this was only when producing the two most common calibers of bullets for pistols and submachine guns.

There were many different calibers of bullets used for pistols and machine guns, but most of what he seized from the police station were the same model, so it was enough to mainly produce two calibers.

Some less common calibers, as well as sniper rifle bullets and shotgun shells, were not planned for production for the time being.

He would wait until he had enough conventional bullets for pistols and machine guns before considering others.

The focus now was still on improving the yield.

Otherwise, wasting materials like this would eventually deplete the warehouse.

Even if he could find more outside, it wouldn't be a long-term solution.

He could only hope that Dong Hui and the others would work hard.

Or he could think about whether there was a way to find some mechanical processing talents from outside.

This was also his mistake. He underestimated the difficulty of bullet processing. Otherwise, he would have recruited some relevant talents earlier.

But for now, there was no way.

After dealing with the bullet production, he continued to think about what to do next.

After today's family search plan, the helicopter would be sealed up, at least to avoid being affected by the impending disaster.

And the base also needed to be prepared and arranged.

After lunch at noon.

In a conference room in the office building.

There were a lot more people this time.

Except for some combat team members who were still out rescuing and searching for supplies.

Qin's father, Qin's mother, the eldest uncle, Wang Yang, Zhao Ling, and other important figures of the base were basically all present.

Everyone was relatively relaxed, sitting in their chairs waiting to see what the boss in the first seat had to say.

"Everyone knows that today's rescue is over. Whether it's successful or not, we won't be doing this again in a short period of time."

Looking around, seeing that everyone knew.

Qin Jin continued.

"Starting tomorrow, put away all the exposed metal and solar panels in the base, or cover them all with the waterproof plastic tarpaulins in our warehouse."

"Pay special attention to the pond. I don't want the outside world to affect our water supply when it's windy and rainy!"

"Also, build some simple sheds in our base, using rain-proof and corrosion-resistant materials, so that our vehicles can be parked. As for those that can't be parked, they can be driven to the buildings in the nearby abandoned factories."

"I know you want to ask why we're doing this. I'll explain it later. For now, just follow the orders!"

"If you have any questions, you can raise them now, and we'll solve them immediately."

Everyone looked at each other.

They didn't expect such a strange order.

Qin's father was the first to speak.

"Ah Jin, doing as you say is no problem, but covering the solar panels will affect our electricity storage, right?"

This was a very obvious question. Qin's father had been in charge of this aspect recently, so he raised the question.

"I know it will affect power generation, but this must be done. If there's not enough electricity, use fuel to generate electricity! We've recovered thousands of tons of fuel recently, and there are many generators of various models. We can afford it in the short term."

Hearing his son say this, Qin's father didn't say anything more.

The rest of the people didn't raise any more questions and left the conference room to get busy.

Zhao Ling, whether intentionally or unintentionally, walked at the end of the crowd.

Before leaving, she winked at Qin Jin.

Qin Jin rolled his eyes at her.

Afternoon.

Inside the base.

The managers had already begun preparations according to the boss's instructions.

The waterproof plastic tarpaulins that had been bought in advance in a certain warehouse were pulled out.

Under the command of the personnel, they began to cover some buildings in the base.

Except for some open spaces, most of the buildings in the base needed to be covered, so the project was not small.

Since the base's walls were increased to 12.5 meters some time ago, the personnel went to work on other things for a while, and later arranged for some more free personnel to continue to come back to repair and increase the height.

At this time, the height had reached 15 meters!

After reaching this height, they temporarily stopped increasing the height and began to cover the tarpaulin to prevent the walls that were not completely hardened from being affected later.

The base had an area of 30,000 square meters, and nearly 20,000 square meters needed to be covered, which would definitely take a lot of time.

And the drainage in the base also needed to be done thoroughly, otherwise the accumulated water would not be able to get out later, which would also be a big trouble.

The entire preparation project was estimated to take a day or two to complete.

The idea proposed by Li Xu could also be used to let people go out in advance to drill holes for the poles.

But it was best to wait until the acid rain had passed before dealing with it.

When needed in the future, just insert the steel poles and wrap the steel wire around them.

Evening.

The last helicopter that went out to search for relatives and rescue finally returned.

It also announced the complete end of this plan.

This time, a total of 9 people were rescued.

There were men, women, old and young.

The number of people in the base was approaching the hundred mark again!

Qin Jin also made a special trip to meet with these people, telling them some things about this place, and what kind of price their relatives and friends had paid to save them.

After deducting half of their food, these people would not starve to death, but they would not eat as full as before.

As long as they could continue to live and serve the base well and make contributions.

They would have the opportunity to raise their treatment again in the future.

This was already a relatively fair method.

Perhaps some people would think that the boss was not sentimental and did not make exceptions even for relatives.

That was indeed the case. Giving favors also depended on who the object was.

Most of the people in the base were strangers who had no relationship with Qin Jin before. Being able to bring them to survive, and even now provide a safe place, as well as food and drink.

It was already considered benevolent.

Of course, some people might still think he was kind.

But they didn't know that they were pawns that could be sacrificed at any time.

In this doomsday where there were no extraordinary humans, but countless dangers.

Only by banding together could they live better.
