Chapter 1634 Boiler Room? Li Yu Went to Oil City to Get Help!

November 10.

The Dazhangshu Base Water Plant was officially completed on this day.

They opened up the Sangang Reservoir in the northwest and introduced the water from the reservoir into the buffer city.

Although the water stored in the Sangang Reservoir is not as much as the Nanwan Lake Reservoir around the Oil City,

it is also the largest reservoir within a radius of dozens of kilometers.

It is enough to support the industrial, agricultural and domestic water use in the Dazhangshu Base.

Li Yu and a group of senior leaders from the headquarters base came to inspect the completed water plant.

Liu Ming, who was responsible for the construction of the water plant, also specially pulled a banner: Congratulations on the completion of the Dazhangshu Base Water Plant!

The water plant was built between the agricultural planting area and the industrial production area of ​​the buffer city.

Because in the buffer city, these two areas consume the most water resources.

At the current Dazhangshu Base, some heavy industries with serious pollution are gradually moved from the inner and outer cities to the buffer city.

Some relatively high-tech factories and light industries are retained in the inner and outer cities.

Such as the Arsenal, Zombie Research Institute, Natural Disaster Research Institute, Machinery Manufacturing Factory, Agricultural Development Institute, etc.

Ding Jiu and Liu Ming and others greeted at the gate of the water plant. Li Yu walked in front, followed by his second uncle, eldest uncle, second uncle, Song Min, He Chao and others.

Seeing Li Yu, Ding Jiu and Liu Ming came forward.

"City Lord, let me take you to visit the entire water plant."

Li Yu nodded, "Yes."

Ding Jiu took Li Yu into the water plant and came to the original water pool first.

"The construction of this water plant is almost the same as that of the Oil City. It was built using the drawings over there. There are a total of eight pools, divided into"

"It can meet the living water needs of more than 100,000 people at the same time, as well as industrial and agricultural water."

The pool has been opened for a long time, and now it is full of water.

Li Yu squatted down and scooped up a handful of water from the original water pool.

The water has been soaked by zombies, but it doesn't smell much.

The water quality is still clear to the naked eye, but if you look at it with a microscope, you will find that there are a lot of water microorganisms in it.

Li Yu stayed in the water plant for more than an hour and roughly looked at the entire water plant.

It has not rained for a long time now, but the water source problem has been solved.

According to the current water storage capacity of Sangang Reservoir, even if there is no rain in the next three years, it will be enough to supply water to the big camphor tree base.

After visiting the water plant, Li Yu turned his head and asked Ding Jiu:

"How is the boiler room I told you about before?"

Ding Jiu glanced at Qian Zheng behind him, and Qian Zheng stood up and said:

"City Lord, the boiler room is now under wall construction, and it is expected to be completed in half a month. It is mainly the installation of boiler equipment, pipeline installation, electrical installation, ventilation and automatic control system installation. I am afraid it will take more time."

Li Yu frowned and said, "How long will it take?"

"Two months." Qian Zheng replied.

"No, it's too slow." Li Yu shook his head.

Ding Jiu asked in confusion: "City Lord, why are you in such a hurry? Now other factories in the buffer city are also under construction. If we want to speed up the construction of the boiler room, we can only ask other factories to transfer manpower."

Li Yu took the two to a place with few people.

He felt that he still had to tell the two the purpose of doing this and let them know the urgency of this matter.

"The construction of the boiler room, I want to achieve the ultimate goal of heating."

"Ah?" Ding Jiu was a little confused.

Generally speaking, the application field of boilers is very wide.

Mainly including electricity, chemical industry, light industry, textile, papermaking, food and other industries, among which the power industry is one of the most important application fields of boilers. Boilers heat water into steam by burning coal, oil, gas and other fuels, driving steam turbines to generate electricity.

However, their big camphor tree base now has zombie generators, and basically does not need other ways to obtain electricity.

So he thought that Li Yu wanted to build boilers, mainly in industry, boilers provide high-temperature and high-pressure steam for chemical production, which is used to produce various chemicals.

In addition, it can also be used in agriculture. The boiler provides high-temperature, high-pressure steam for grain drying, making it easier to store and transport grain, which makes it easier to transport grain to the oil city.

"Heating? But we already have air conditioners and electric heaters in the inner and outer cities for heating? Why do we still need heating?" Ding Jiu asked his doubts.

The biggest role of boilers in the field of people's livelihood is heating and hot water.

Boilers can heat water into hot water or steam and transport it through pipelines to places where heating or hot water is needed.

Li Yu shook his head and asked:

"What about the buffer city? The temperature has not been cold in the past six months, but if the temperature drops below zero, there are so many greenhouses in the buffer city. If you add the heating of level 3 and 4 personnel, the power of the zombie generator alone is not enough."

"Moreover, heating must be diversified, so that if one of the heating methods goes wrong, we will have no alternative choice at that time."

"I understand." Ding Jiu nodded heavily.

He understood what Li Yu meant.

"Is it because of the clouds in the sky?" Qian Ming asked.

Li Yu said, "Almost. Anyway, we need to build the boiler room as soon as possible, and then quickly lay out the pipes to connect the residential buildings, the already built factory buildings, and the greenhouses in the base with heating pipes."

"I understand." Ding Jiu nodded.

Now the third outer city is also under construction, digging a larger underground space to place the zombie generator.

But since the construction of the greenhouses in the buffer city, the power required has increased tenfold.

That is, the temperature has not dropped much in the past six months. Otherwise, if there is extremely cold weather, many greenhouses in the buffer city will not be able to guarantee a good harvest this season.

The large camphor tree base has developed too fast. When there were only inner and outer cities, the power required could be fully covered by zombie generators.

Once the greenhouses in the buffer city were built, more and more factories appeared, and the demand for electricity soared.

The power they need to consume now is almost the same as that required by a small town before the end of the world.

Ding Jiu calculated in his mind and said:

"City Lord, this time we excavate the underground space of the third outer city, it is estimated that we can put down 10,000 zombie generators, and it is expected that we should be able to produce enough electricity to meet the needs of the buffer city."

"In this way, it doesn't matter if the boiler room is not built, and we can still rely on heaters for heating."

Li Yu closed his eyes and said patiently:

"I'll say it again, what I want is stable protection. It is not safe to rely on a single method to generate electricity and a single method to provide heating."

"In the past, some solar photovoltaic panels were broken, and the electricity generated by those photovoltaic panels could only be used as a supplement."

"Now zombie generators account for too much of the power generation. In order to ensure stable power supply in case of accidents, a boiler room must be built!"

Ding Jiu said with shame: "The city lord thinks far-reachingly. Let's do this. I will temporarily stop the factories in the buffer city and concentrate manpower to build the boiler room. In addition, I will also advance the underground construction of the third outer city as soon as possible."

"How long?" Li Yu asked.

Ding Jiu estimated and replied:

"It will definitely be completed in two months if all of them are added together."

"No, it's too slow. Didn't you just say half a month? How come it has become two months again?" Li Yu frowned and asked.

Qian Zheng couldn't help but interrupt and said: "City Lord, the two months you just said refers to the equipment installation and pipeline installation."

Li Yu stretched out a finger, "One month, it will be completed within one month!"

"One month!?" Qian Zheng took a breath of cold air.

This time is too tight!     Ding Jiu said with a wry smile: "City Lord, the time you gave is too short, it really can't be done."

Li Yu looked up at the sky and said faintly:

"If it is frozen and snowing now, do you know how much impact it will have on our base?"

Ding Jiu was silent.

In the past six years, the city lord has given him construction tasks one after another.

And almost every construction task is very rushed!

Sometimes he felt that it was impossible to complete, but he finally completed it.

This time, the task given to him was the most rushed in history.

"City Lord, in this case, I need to stop all construction projects in the buffer city and concentrate all my efforts on building this boiler room.

In addition, equipment installation and pipeline installation also require manpower. At present, there are not enough manpower. I need you to give me more manpower."

The total population of the current Dazhangshu base has reached 7,700 people.

Including more than 2,000 combat personnel in the three major departments of the Operations Department, the Civil Armed Forces Department, and the Security Department.

There are 1,000 agricultural planting personnel, breeding farms, industrial and other factory workers in total.

There are also 300 people scattered outside the sentinel and mine.

There are more than 1,000 people searching for supplies and transport personnel.

There are also 500 various internal affairs staff in total.

There are less than 2,000 full-time workers engaged in construction in the buffer city.

This is in sharp contrast to the abundant human resources in the oil city.

In the oil city, not including the population in the oil city, there are 100,000 level 4 and 5 personnel in the trading market alone.

A population gap of more than ten times.

Li Yu sighed when he heard Ding Jiu talk about the problem of manpower shortage.

In the past two years, in order to support the development of the Oil City Trading Market and the North Territory, the headquarters base has sent too many people.

Let alone the combatants, there are 500 people in the North Territory.

More than 1,000 people in Oil City.

In addition, when the trading market was first planned and established, 1,500 level 4 cooperative personnel were sent to support.

When the North Territory resumed production, 300 people were also sent.

In addition to experts and technicians from all walks of life,

all added up, the headquarters base sent at least 4,000 people to the two branch bases.

4,000 people!

There are relatively few survivors around the big camphor tree base now. Since the southern Guangdong Province and the eastern Fujian Province are close to the sea, they are greatly affected by natural disasters and the number of survivors is relatively small.

The Oil City, located in the Central Plains, had a relatively dense population before the end of the world. In addition, it is located in the Central Plains, and there are survivors in the east, west, south and north, so it is relatively easy to absorb the population.

After the construction of the trading market, Oil City began to vigorously promote it, and the effect of attracting population was remarkable.

The camphor tree base did not promote it either, and everything depended on the survivors who joined naturally, so the population growth was extremely slow.

"It's time for Oil City to give back to the camphor tree base." Li Yu thought to himself.

It's just that who should be allowed to come to the trading market, this needs to be carefully considered.

"City Lord?" Ding Jiu couldn't help but remind Li Yu when he saw him in a trance.

Li Yu collected his mind, thought about it and said to Ding Jiu:

"How many people do you need to complete the task within a month?"

Ding Jiu said: "There are less than 2,000 construction workers on the site. If you want to complete the construction within a month, give me at least 2,000 more people."

"Okay."

Li Yu nodded and said: "No problem, I will find a way to get you at least 2,000 people within five days!"

Hearing the city lord's agreement, Ding Jiu and Qian Zheng looked at Li Yu in surprise. 2,000 people!

Not 20 people!

Five days, such a short time, where can you find 2,000 people!

The two looked at each other, their eyes full of confusion. They didn't know where Li Yu was going to find 2,000 people.

"Okay, you guys hurry up and push this matter forward. As for the water plant, the Minister of Industry will come to take over. You can hand over it when the time comes."

After Li Yu finished speaking, he left here quickly.

Qian Zheng looked at Li Yu's back as he left, and asked Ding Jiu in confusion:

"Chief Engineer, where did the city lord find these 2,000 people?"

Ding Jiu shook his head, "I don't know either, huh? No."

An idea flashed through his mind, and he remembered a piece of news he heard from Song Min two days ago, that the population of the trading market had exceeded 100,000.

When the trading market was just launched, there was a lack of skilled construction workers and technical teams, so they were sent from the headquarters base.

Now that the city lord is so confident, perhaps these two thousand people can be found from the Oil City.

"Maybe they were transferred from the trading market in the Oil City." Ding Jiu guessed.

Qian Zheng's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"Yes, I heard there are a lot of people at the trading market. It would be great if we could transfer Engineer Jie and Engineer Liu back."

Ding Jiu shook his head and smiled, "Not very realistic. The trading market will probably need to build boilers later, and they are also planning to build the buffer city wall. With Engineer Jie gone, there is no one at the helm!"

"Okay."

After leaving the buffer city, Li Yu found his second uncle who had returned early and told him what he had talked about with Ding Jiu.

"Transfer people back from the trading market?" His second uncle said with some concern:

"But the trading market has a complex personnel structure, and there may be hidden dangers if they are transferred to the headquarters base."

"So."

Li Yu knocked on the table and said:

"So, I plan to transfer those who have joined the trading market for more than half a year. These people are definitely not from the northwest."

"Or."

After thinking about it, Li Yu continued, "You can also pull the original North Territory affiliated teams that moved to the trading market."

After the fall of the North Territory, in order to support the construction of the Oil City Trading Market, all the North Territory affiliated forces were invited to move south to the trading market for construction.

Nearly ten teams, such as the Garbage Group, Tattoo Gang, Chengde Mountain Resort, Dawn Group, Iron Blood Gang, and Jiming Hall, have moved into the trading market.

The number of people has reached two to three thousand.

"But they have been in the trading market for so long, some people may not want to leave." Second Uncle said worriedly.

Li Yu touched his chin,

"The construction points provided here are more than those in the Oil City Trading Market, and there are various invisible benefits. They should come. Besides, they have no choice!"

After he finished speaking, he stood up with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"I plan to go to the trading market to have a look."

Second Uncle heard Li Yu say that he was going to the trading market, and it was rare that he did not stop him.

In recent months, there has been a lot of news from the trading market.

With the rapid changes,

it's good to go and have a look.
