Chapter 1599: Construction Begins!

The next day.

Dongfeng left the trading market with his convoy, and at the same time he brought some living supplies and food.

Madman is stationed in Southland and needs supplies.

The equipment and equipment in the Nanfang Paradise Chemical Plant, as well as some raw materials for the greenhouses, have not yet been transported.

In addition to the things on the destroyer, Dongfeng and the others would have to move things back and forth many times.

The construction of the water plant also officially started today.

The entire oil city is in operation. Xie Changshan serves as the chief engineer of the water plant construction and can call on all manpower in the base except the combat department.

Time is tight, and so far, two thousand trench diggers have been recruited.

Three designers and 200 water plant construction personnel.

As well as the relevant personnel required for the construction of water plants.

There were 2,500 people in total.

Just last night, Sanshu, Xie Changshan, Fang Jingxin and three designers finally finalized the general construction plan of the water supply plant. The specific plant construction, diversion canal, settling tank, etc. have not yet been determined.

Because the time is too tight, only one month,

They can only build and plan at the same time.

Otherwise, according to the process of building a water plant before the end of the world, the project must be established first, and then tenders are invited. Each contractor will design drawings, cost estimates, and bids.

Calibrate and then start.

This process alone may take several months.

They don’t have so much time to waste in these places, and they don’t have to go through such cumbersome procedures.

The target plan has been roughly determined, and all the people have been recruited. The required materials can be temporarily used in the warehouse while searching for related equipment and materials.

Design, build, and search for materials at the same time.

Only in this way can it be completed within a month.

Xie Changshan came to the North District office building.

3rd floor.

The water plant built a temporary office, where three designers were still drawing water plant drawings.

These three people were excavated by Jie Changshan a long time ago. They were all survivors in the trading bazaar.

They specialize in drawing drawings of various buildings in the Oil City, such as a street in the commercial district, an ancient cemetery and a fort plantation, a wood products processing plant, a chemical plant, and a cement factory. They are all drawings made by them.

For example, self-built houses in rural areas, or buildings such as migrant sheds and farmhouses do not require drawings.

Because the structure is simple, the construction workers probably have an idea of ​​what it is.

However, some complex buildings, such as this kind of water plant, will inevitably require drawings. Without drawing planning, many details cannot be taken into consideration, and it is easy for mistakes to occur during construction.

The designed drawings can provide detailed plans for construction workers so that they can be built faster.

"How's it going? Haven't the drawings come out yet?" Xie Changshan pushed open the door and walked in, his tone full of urgency.

Without the drawings, the work on the trading market may be delayed, resulting in an extension of the construction period.

The trenches outside can be dug first, but it is best to have drawings for the projects inside the trading market.

Wang Peng sat in front of the computer with dull eyes, a haggard face, and messy hair.

After hearing Jie Changshan's voice, he turned his head and sighed:

"General Engineer Xie, time is too tight, we all stayed up all night"

Xie Changshan was not in the mood to listen to his complaints, "Can you come out at noon today?"

"Not at noon, the time given is too short." Wang Peng said with a wry smile.

Jie Changshan's tone was serious and he said in a commanding tone:

"No later than 12 o'clock tonight. I want to see the drawings you designed at 12 o'clock tonight."

"There are still 16 hours left, you must get it done for me within this time."

"At twelve o'clock in the evening, I will come over and review the drawing adjustments with you. Be sure to finalize the design drawings before tomorrow morning!"

"With the drawings in hand, construction in the trading bazaar can begin tomorrow."

After Wang Peng heard this, his heart was trembling.

After staying up all night for two nights, Xie Changshan's words meant that he couldn't sleep again tonight.

The three of them barely left the office these past two days except for going to the bathroom.

In the past two days, when they couldn't bear it anymore, they would lie on the table and squint for more than ten minutes, and then continued designing after waking up.

Wang Peng looked at the two designers, Ma Hong and Sun Kang, nodded with difficulty and said:

"Okay, we'll try our best."

"It's not about trying your best, it's about necessity!" Xie Changshan said, staring at them.

Two days have passed since one month, and there are still 28 days left.

Every day I have to squeeze in time to catch up on work.

As the chief engineer of the water plant, he not only has to focus on the drawing design, but also the recruitment of personnel, the location of trench excavation, and even the water intake site.

"Okay!" Wang Peng nodded.

"But."

"But what?" Jie Changshan pulled up a stool and sat down.

He is very anxious now. He will have to go outside the trading market later and stare at the trench excavation. It is estimated that it will be evening when he comes back.

If there is a problem with the drawings, it will be very troublesome.

Wang Peng's questions must be answered clearly before he can leave with peace of mind.

Wang Peng pointed to the construction design drawing on the computer and asked:

"Why aren't water plants built near water sources? Generally speaking, water plants are built near water sources. This can also save space for trading markets, and it is more convenient to store water when building water plants in areas with sufficient water sources. "

After hearing this question, Xie Changshan raised his eyebrows.

"It's very simple. The water source is 10 kilometers away from the trading market, in Nanwan Lake. If we build the water plant there, we will not only have to build a water plant, but also a defense wall to prevent zombies from approaching Nanwan Lake. Otherwise, even if the treated water source is polluted again, it will be meaningless to build a water plant!"

"Nanwan Lake is so large that the construction of a defense wall is too large!"

"So, we must build the water plant in the trading market. After the water from Nanwan Lake is diverted to the trading market, it will be centrally treated, and the treated water can be used directly!"

Wang Peng suddenly realized that according to Xie Changshan's meaning, it is actually to ensure that the treated water source will not be polluted again.

Just imagine, zombies like water. Nanwan Lake has an area of ​​75 square kilometers, which is larger than 10 West Lakes in Hangzhou. They are currently unable to prevent zombies from entering Nanwan Lake.

It is almost inevitable that there are zombies in the lake. They can only transport the water to the trading market for processing.

"I understand!"

"Are there any other questions? Ask them together. Let me see the design." Xie Changshan dragged the stool closer to Wang Peng.

"No other questions. The design is not finished yet, but I'll show it to you first."

Xie Changshan looked at the design, "Zoom in and take a look at the sedimentation tank."

Wang Peng moved the mouse and zoomed in on the design.

The location of the entire water plant was finally determined in the South District after discussion last night.

The East District is a residential area with a large population, and there are many buildings in the East District. The remaining space is very small, and the area is not enough to build another water plant.

The West District is an industrial area with serious pollution.

The North District has the office building of the Trading Market Management Office, and the training ground also occupies a large area. The prison is also here, which is not very suitable.

The most suitable is the transportation warehouse area in the South District, where there are fewer people and a large area of ​​land to be developed.

Xie Changshan looked at the drawings they designed in the office and gave modification suggestions from time to time.

Wang Peng, Ma Hong, and Sun Kang recorded Xie Changshan's opinions.

Half an hour later, Xie Changshan finished reading all the drawings, and said with a long sigh:

"There is no problem with the overall design idea. Continue to design according to this idea. I will come again in the evening."

"Okay." The three said in unison.

"Come on!" Xie Changshan patted them on the shoulders one by one, turned around and left the office.

He went down to the office building and hurriedly got on a car.

He asked the driver:

"Did Liu Yu take people there?"

"He went out. Just ten minutes after you entered the office building, he took people out." The driver replied.

"Well, let's go out of the city."

Liu Yu was the person he brought from the big camphor tree base. This Liu Yu was also a contractor before and had contracted many projects before the end of the world.

This kind of ditch excavation construction is a piece of cake for Liu Yu.

However, there are more factors to consider when excavating ditches in the end of the world.

It is necessary to fully consider whether the zombies will destroy the ditch, so after the drinking water ditch is excavated, bricks or culverts are placed in the ditch, and the top is sealed with cement, and the soil is filled and compacted.

The vehicle drove out of the trading market and headed towards Nanwan Lake on the road.

As soon as he left the trading market, he saw workers carrying hoes and digging the ground at the edge of the asphalt road.

The positions were marked with red wooden stakes on the ground. These were the positions they had selected in advance yesterday and two days. The ditches excavated by the level instrument can use the height difference to lead the water of Nanwan Lake to the trading market.

Because it is ten kilometers long, it starts from the direction of the trading market and digs all the way to Nanwan Lake.

The width of the ditch is set to be two meters and the height is also two meters.

A fence will be set up every 500 meters, and an entrance will be built on top to facilitate the cleaning of the ditch later.

The entire excavation site is in full swing.

A long line of workers were digging the soil with hoes in the sun, and there were also large and small excavators among them.

Such a large project spread over nearly one kilometer.

Around the workers, there were nearly a hundred supervisors directing the work.

These supervisors were all transferred from the construction site of the trading market and had rich supervision experience.

Digging ditches seems simple, but it must be able to successfully introduce water into the trading market, and the specific implementation is not so simple.

These workers only need to listen to the instructions of the supervisors and dig to a certain width and depth in a fixed place, but the supervisors must know how deep each section of the road needs to be dug.

Soon.

He saw Liu Yu standing under a tree in the car.

Liu Yu was talking to several supervisors at this time.

"Stop." Xie Changshan said to the driver.

The vehicle stopped.

This ditch was dug along the side of the road, so that the existing conditions can be maximized.

Liu Yu saw Xie Changshan getting off the car next to him, and quickly said to several supervisors:

"You must patrol back and forth, measure repeatedly, and ensure that the height of each section of the ditch meets the original setting."

"Otherwise, if the height deviation occurs, we will have to rework again. Go and get busy."

"Yes." Several core supervisors turned around and saw Xie Changshan behind them.

"Chief Engineer Xie."

"Chief Engineer Xie."

"Yeah." Xie Changshan nodded.

As they passed by, he looked at Liu Yu and said:

"The excavation of the ditch is a huge project. You have to keep a close eye on it here. The trading market and Nanwan Lake must be connected within 15 days, otherwise there will not be enough time."

Liu Yu nodded and said:

"Don't worry, Mr. Xie, there will be no problem in 15 days, but I am worried that when the last section of Nanwan Lake is opened, there will be a lot of people and noise, and zombies will come out of the lake at that time."

"You don't have to worry about this. At that time, there will naturally be a combat team to clean up those zombies and escort the construction team." Xie Changshan replied.

"Then, I'm relieved."

"Come with me to take another excavation route to see which places need to be adjusted."

"Okay."

"Bring the measuring instrument and level."

"Okay."

The sun is shining brightly.

The leader of the Flywheel Gang, Zhang Meng, led the gang members He Liangwei and others, carrying hoes and digging the soil one hoe at a time.

Hey yo, hey yo!

Zhang Meng tucked his coat into his trouser waist and spat on his hands.

Digging the soil vigorously.

"Brother Meng, we are digging the soil here. What if a zombie comes near?" He Liangwei asked while digging the soil.

Zhang Meng wiped the sweat off his face and said:

"What are you afraid of? There are so many of us. If a zombie comes, we can kill it with a hoe."

"Besides, look over there."

Zhang Meng pointed to a small hill not far away. "There are people watching over there. If there are zombies, they will definitely sound the alarm."

He Liangwei looked at the gunmen on the hill and nodded, "That's fine."

"Let's work. One more point for one day's work. Get it in your hands!"

"Yeah."

As time passed, the sun was hanging high in the sky.

The temperature rose.

Some workers couldn't stand it anymore and took off their shirts and worked with their shirts bare.

None of them had a big belly, they were either skinny or very lean. The muscles they had were not the kind that were trained in the gym in the end times. Although they were not good-looking, they were really strong.

They had good endurance and strength.

"It's time to eat--"

At this time, several pickup trucks drove over, and there was a horn on the pickup trucks that kept repeating.

The supervisor saw the pickup trucks coming, so he shouted to the workers who were digging:

"Take a break, take a break and eat something!"

Zhang Meng's upper body was bronze, and a layer of sweat oozed out of the surface of his skin, looking very strong.

He dug the hoe into the soil with force, and the hoe stood on the soil.

He rubbed his hands, took his own rice bowl with his brothers, and walked towards the pickup trucks.

A layer of clean cloth was placed on the first two pickup trucks, and the tortillas were spread on it.

From a distance, the tortillas were piled up into a small mountain.

There was a huge bucket on the back two pickup trucks, and water could be collected by turning on the faucet.

Under the supervision of the supervisor, Zhang Meng and his team lined up to receive a tortilla and a pot of water.

The whole tortilla was as big as an adult's face, dry and thick.

Although this tortilla weighs only three taels, it is somewhat similar to compressed biscuits. The moisture inside is baked dry, and there is almost no moisture, which is particularly solid.

So every time everyone eats it, they have to eat it with water, otherwise it is dry and difficult to swallow.

One tortilla is enough to fill an adult.
