Chapter 1199 Construction in Progress

Oil City.

The morning light is just beginning to break.

The wind blows gently, blowing up a broken black plastic bag that came from nowhere, higher and higher.

Li Yu stands on the high platform in the Oil City, and next to him are Tiger Lord and Ding Jiu and a few others.

Under the high platform, there are many people.

Among them are oil mining workers, combatants, and cooperative personnel from the camphor tree base who come to support the construction.

Looking at the bustling crowd, Li Yu said loudly:

"Everyone should know about the construction of the trading market, so I won't introduce it in detail."

"Standing next to me is Tiger Lord from Southern Paradise, who will participate in the construction of the trading market project with us."

Everyone focused their attention on Tiger Lord, who waved to everyone.

Li Yu glanced at Tiger Lord and asked, "Do you want to say a few words?"

Tiger Lord shook his head and said, "No, haha."

Li Yu is also a person who doesn't like to do this kind of showmanship, he pays more attention to practical actions.

So he turned around, pointed at Ding Jiu and said to everyone:

"This is Ding Jiu, the chief engineer in charge of the construction project."

"This is Xie Changshan, the deputy chief engineer."

"I announce that the construction of the trading market project will start today. I hope everyone will work hard."

After saying that, he walked down the platform.

Hu Ye and others followed Li Yu down.

Ju Tianrui met with Ding Jiu, divided the manpower, and then took some construction tools and equipment outside the oil city.

After Li Yu and Hu Ye came down from the platform, they came to the tallest building in the center of the oil city and looked at the scene below.

The north and south gates of the oil city were open, watching several excavators drive out of the oil city gate, and there were pile drivers and so on behind.

Looking at the busy people, Hu Ye's heart was surging, it's starting now.

I don't know what the scene will be like after the trading market is built.

Looking at the construction here, Hu Ye had already discussed with Li Yu yesterday what he wanted to do this time.

So he said to Li Yu:

"City Lord Li, I will hurry back here too. I will send my people to support the construction, and I will also hurry up to find building materials at the same time."

Li Yu smiled and nodded:

"Thank you, but I think when your people go out to search for building materials, if they meet some survivor teams, they can also start to promote our trading market."

"In addition, if we can attract them to participate in the construction, it will naturally be better."

The promise that Li Yu gave to the affiliated forces in the North was that as long as they came to participate in the construction, they would be exempted from protection fees and provided with food.

Similarly, if more survivors could be attracted to participate in the construction, Li Yu would not mind giving them some food.

After all, hundreds of tons of food had just been obtained from the North, and this part of the food would be kept, and there was no shortage of food supply at the headquarters base.

Moreover, at present, Li Yu wanted to build this trading market as soon as possible.

It can be regarded as exchanging a small amount of food for labor.

Tiger Lord nodded and said:

"Don't worry, I will definitely notify you about this matter."

"Hahaha, OK." Li Yu laughed.

He took the initiative to extend his hand and shook hands with Tiger Lord.

"Happy cooperation."

"Happy cooperation."

The two smiled at each other.

Then.

Li Yu sent Tiger Lord out of the Oil City, and Tiger Lord also left with the long-wave ultra-long-distance radio that he gave him yesterday.

Ding Jiu and Jie Changshan got the list of support personnel in the base the day before yesterday.

These lists all recorded the work and positions of these people before the end of the world.

They divided these people who had construction experience and

carried out division of labor.

Fusheng and others directly assembled the equipment for making cement brought from the camphor tree base in the Oil City and started production.

The steel bar materials were all stored in an abandoned factory building near the southwest corner of the Oil City.

Outside the Oil City.

Xiao Liu took a land surveying instrument, stood in a position near the north, a few hundred meters away from the Oil City, and planted a flag on the land.

Then he used a level to circle the Oil City and define the place where the wall was to be built.

Since the surrounding area was flat, the design was also relatively regular.

The entire outer wall was a rectangle.

From ancient times to the present, people have always emphasized "the sky is round and the earth is square", so the walls are generally round or square.

In order to make it look more regular, a rectangular wall is used.

Rumble--

The excavator digs the soil.

There are people in the back who are responsible for transporting the soil away, and some are responsible for piling.

When they were at the camphor tree base, most of them participated in the construction of the fourth outer city, so there is still a tacit cooperation.

The progress in the morning is still very obvious.

And Tiger Lord and others who left the Oil City also arrived at the South Paradise after a few hours of driving.

As soon as he returned to the South Paradise, Tiger Lord called Wu Li.

"Tomorrow, you will transport the personnel who cooperated with the Oil City to participate in the construction, which I told you before, to the Oil City."

"In addition, how is the collection of building materials going now?"

Wu Li said with a somewhat embarrassed look:

"There is no problem with personnel, and building materials can also be found, but there is a big problem with transportation!"

Master Hu frowned and asked:

"what is the problem?"

Wu Li said with some embarrassment:

"It means transporting construction materials requires vehicles, and driving the vehicles requires fuel. So many construction materials need to be transported, and the fuel consumption is too high. We have just made a transaction with Oil City."

"If it's all used for transportation, then we won't be able to use it elsewhere."

When Mr. Hu heard this, his brows relaxed slightly.

He smiled slightly and said:

"You can rest assured about this. I made an agreement with City Master Li yesterday. We will be responsible for searching and transporting building materials, and they will be responsible for giving us the fuel we need."

"All of them?" Wu Li asked in surprise.

Mr. Hu nodded and said, "Well, City Lord Li is a man who does great things, and he is very courageous."

"call--"

After hearing Mr. Hu's affirmation, Wu Li breathed a sigh of relief.

He was afraid that the trading bazaar jointly built with Oil City would directly hollow out their southern paradise.

In addition to the large amount of people, energy, and building materials required to search for them.

If you still have to use the little fuel, it will be a huge loss.

After all, they all used their own supplies to exchange for fuel.

In turn, he has to use the fuel exchanged to do things for Oil City.

This is a bit

"Do you have any other questions?" Master Hu looked at him and asked.

"No more for now." Wu Li said.

"Um."

Master Hu was about to leave when he stopped and explained again:

"This matter is very important, so you must take it seriously. I don't want City Lord Li to be unhappy because something went wrong."

"The collection of construction materials must also be accelerated, so as not to fail to keep up with their construction speed."

Wu Li quickly patted his chest and promised:

"Master Hu, don't worry, I know what's going on."

"good."

After Master Hu finished speaking, he walked towards his residence.

He was drunk last night and sat in a car for several hours this morning. He was already old and lacked energy.

I was extremely sleepy at this time and wanted to go to sleep quickly.

Northern Territory.

Since Li Yu left, some affiliated forces have returned to their respective stations.

But one force remains.

In the past two days, the leader of the He Gang has been asking Lao Xie about the construction of the trading market that Li Yu mentioned before.

"Are you sure that as long as we participate in the construction in the past, we can be given food and be exempted from the protection fee?" The leader of the Crane Gang asked again.

Lao Xie said impatiently:

"Xiaohe, you have asked me this question almost three hundred times, and I tell you clearly, yes, yes, yes!"

"What our city lord Jinkou Yuyan said, can it be false?"

Hetian thought for a while and said:

"I don't know where that oil city is? Could you please send someone to take us there?"

Lao Xie said helplessly: "Okay, if you really want to go, I will find two people to take you there. When will you go?"

He Tian gritted his teeth and said: "When I go back to clean up, I will bring people to the north first, about three days later. Is that okay?"

"Okay, then you can come back to me in three days. I will arrange for someone to take you there then." Lao Xie said.

He Tian nodded. Judging from the contacts in the past few days, he was keenly aware that this was an excellent opportunity.

Leading the team by yourself, although free.

But the pressure is also great. There is a northern border on top, and protection fees have to be paid every three months. The pressure is huge.

Instead of doing this, it is better to join this trading bazaar directly and join this new northern force in disguise.

It's nice to enjoy the shade under the big tree and relax.

As far as he knew, after the meeting that day.

Tu Wentan from the Karst Cave and Tong Rugui from the Dawn Group returned directly to their bases, and then brought people over yesterday.

Lao Xie also sent two people to take them to Oil City.

Tu Wentan and Tong Rugui did not let everyone go, but only sent half of their people, but there were more than 500 people in total.

Now if this iron-blooded man also sent people there, there would probably be seven or eight hundred people there.

Having so many people go to Oil City to build a trading bazaar will definitely speed up the construction.

The third uncle has been managing the affairs of the Northern Territory these days, and there is one thing that gives him a headache.

That is the raw material for building a greenhouse, and the solar panels are not enough.

Polycarbonate, the raw material for producing solar panels, is also difficult to find.

A mission was issued, but affiliated forces were reluctant to participate.

After all, the distance is too far and long-distance transportation is required, so the risk is too high.

The third uncle remembered the Southern Paradise not far from Zhejiang Province, so he simply told Li Yu about it.

After Li Yu learned about the situation on his third uncle's side, he tried to use the radio to contact Mr. Tiger in Southern Paradise.

Sizzling——

"This is Li Yu from Oil City. Calling Southern Paradise. Please answer when you receive it."

Li Yu called three times in a row, but still no reply.

I thought to myself:

It shouldn't be. They tested it when they left today.

It shouldn't be useful.

Called a few more times.

Finally heard the answer.

"Hello City Master Li, I am Tang Ji from Southern Paradise. Master Hu has been sleeping and resting since he came back. I will call him now. Please wait a moment."

As he spoke, he said to Zhou Xing next to him:

"Go and call Master Hu quickly. City Master Li is looking for him."

Zhou Xing hurriedly ran upstairs after hearing this.

This long-wave radio was given to Master Hu by Li Yu, and Master Hu valued it very much.

So I put this radio in the building where I live.

And they also sent someone to monitor and answer calls.

Tap tap tap——

Zhou Xing hurried upstairs and saw Master Hu's door tightly closed.

He was about to reach out and knock on the door, but stopped.

When Mr. Hu first came back, his face was full of exhaustion. I'm afraid it wouldn't be a good idea to ask him to take a rest.

However, City Master Li can't be kept waiting, just in case something big happens.

So, he gritted his teeth and knocked on the door.

Tuk Tuk——

After knocking several times, an old and tired voice finally came from inside.

"Who? What happened?"

Zhou Xing hurriedly said: "Chengdu Li from Oil City is looking for you and has something to tell you."

Wow——

Zhou Xing, who was outside, heard the sound of the quilt being lifted.

Da da da--

Squeak——

The door opened instantly, and Mr. Hu walked downstairs with messy hair and slippers on.

Seeing him like this, Zhou Xing thought to himself: It seems that what he did was right.

soon.

Master Hu came downstairs.

"City Lord Li, what do you want from me?"

After hearing Master Hu's voice, Li Yu said:

"I heard you were resting. I'm sorry to disturb you."

"But I really have something to do here. I need some raw materials for making solar panels, called polycarbonate, and some related production equipment. I wonder if you can help me find them."

"As far as I know, there is a large manufacturer in northern Zhejiang Province. You are also going to collect building materials. Help me find this factory and see if it is still available."

Master Hu was confused when he heard this.

What is polycarbonate?

But that didn't stop him from understanding what Li Yu meant and asking him to help find something.

And it's not far from their southern paradise.

Since it was City Lord Li who spoke, he must agree.

So Mr. Tiger said:

"No problem, I don't understand this very well, but I will ask the people below me later. They often go out to collect supplies, and maybe they have been to that place."

Li Yu felt happy when he heard Master Hu agreed.

He smiled and said:

"Thank you Mr. Hu, let's do this. As long as you help us find this raw material and equipment, I will reimburse you for the fuel, and I will compensate you for 50 tons of fuel."

Master Hu didn't originally intend to ask for benefits, but after hearing that Li Yu would give him fuel, it was hard for him to refuse.

After all, their southern paradise lacks two things the most.

Food and fuel.

Fifty tons is already a lot for them.

It already accounts for half of the fuel volume of a transaction with Oil City.

"City Master Li is so polite." Mr. Hu's lips raised slightly.

Oil City is obviously stronger than them and can be robbed, but it can trade with them fairly.

This made Mr. Hu very relieved.

After talking about this, Li Yu cut off the radio.

Look at the pile driver in the distance, hammering the ground one after another.

A strange feeling suddenly arose in my heart.

In the past, I had to collect things myself every time, but with a few words, I can get it done.

It's really cool.
