Chapter 1719 Millennium Camphor Tree, You Must Be Alive!

"How is the progress of the heating pipeline construction?" asked the third uncle.

Jie Changshan continued to answer:

"Three-quarters of the construction in Area B has been completed. We will be able to complete the construction of Area B in one day tomorrow."

"How long will it take for Area C?" Third Uncle asked.

"About six days." Xie Changshan replied.

"Um."

After understanding the progress of the project, the third uncle turned his attention to Liu Jinglue.

"Where's the latest population data?"

Liu Jinglue replied seriously:

"Minister, today, December 17, there are 5,300 new survivors entering the trading market, including 3,490 men and 1,810 women. As of today, the total population of the trading market has reached 255,608."

The third uncle raised his eyebrows and asked:

"The number of people entering in a single day has reached a record high again?"

"Yes, Minister." Liu Jinglue nodded and continued:

"For the past three consecutive days, the number of new people has been more than 5,000, but the growth rate has gradually slowed down."

"Well, it seems that it has almost reached the peak, and it should gradually decrease in the future." The third uncle nodded thoughtfully.

Now that the weather is getting colder day by day, people who know about Oil City and want to come in should be coming here one after another.

If the growth rate slows down, it means that the number of subsequent increases will decrease.

However, it is very likely that the blizzard will come before that day.

At that time, the gate of the buffer city was completely sealed, and even if any survivors wanted to come in, they would have no chance.

Once a hole is opened for one person, the weather will get colder later. Should we dig up the sand on the door and let the survivors in?

There is no circle without rules.

Once something has been determined, if the original plan is abandoned due to a moment of unbearability, it may have a chain reaction and lead to serious consequences.

According to Uncle San's plan, as long as the survivors come in before the blizzard arrives and the gate of the buffer city is sealed, they can enter the trading market.

But once the buffer city gate is sealed, no survivors will be accepted into the city.

The third uncle pondered for a moment and said to the two of them:

"Okay, I understand, you go down and rest."

The two resigned and left the third uncle's office.

After the two people left, the third uncle turned on the radio station on the table and connected to the Da Zhangshu headquarters base.

Tell Li Yu and the others the latest data here simultaneously.

In addition, the two parties also synchronized the laying of boiler heating pipes on both sides.

"The situation here in Oil City is roughly like this. What's going on at the headquarters and in the north?" asked the third uncle.

Li Yu looked at the record book and said:

"Uncle Third, the pipeline laying in the north has been completed today."

"The laying of pipes at the headquarters base will take about six days."

The boiler heating pipes in the northern border and the inner city had been laid as early as when Yuan Zhi took control.

This time it was just a matter of paving some houses in the outer city and laying heating pipes on top of greenhouses.

There are only 2,000 people in the outer city, so the pipeline laying speed is relatively fast.

However, in the headquarters base, there are relatively many factories, greenhouses, and populations, and more pipelines need to be laid, so the speed is slower.

According to Li Yu's idea, he did not want the entire base to shut down due to a natural disaster caused by ice. The indoor factory production that should be carried out still had to be carried out, so all factories in the headquarters base had to lay heating pipes.

In addition, this is even more true for greenhouses.

Although there is already a constant temperature adjustment system, Li Yu felt that it was not enough. The constant temperature system consumed too much power, so he installed heating pipes.

Double insurance ensures that the greenhouse is foolproof and can continue to produce food during ice disasters.

However.

In Oil City, progress is almost identical to Headquarters Base.

There are not as many greenhouses as there are in Da Zhangshu Base in the Oil City. There are only dozens of acres of greenhouses, and the first batch has been laid.

But the population of the trading market is too large, reaching more than 200,000, and it continues to grow.

There are simply too many residential buildings that need to be paved.

Therefore, there is not much difference in progress between the Da Zhangshu base headquarters and Oil City.

Da Zhangshu base headquarters, conference room.

The second uncle suddenly asked:

"Lao San, with so many people coming to the trading market, can the residential buildings accommodate them? Are there so many residential buildings for them to live in?"

When the second brother asked this question, the third uncle said worriedly:

"It's enough for the time being. Currently, 350 buildings have been built in Area C. If we hadn't mobilized manpower to increase efforts to build new residential buildings in the past two months, we might not be able to live in them this time."

"However, there are only a few dozen vacant residential buildings left. Based on the current number of new people added every day, I'm afraid it can only last ten days."

The second uncle was speechless and said:

"Oil City's population siphon effect is still very strong. The last thunderstorm natural disaster only absorbed tens of thousands of survivors, but this time it was able to absorb more than 200,000 survivors. It seems that Oil City has become famous in the past six months."

"However, as we have talked about before, as long as the Oil City can survive this ice disaster, the benefits will be explosive!"

"Um."

The third uncle thought for a moment and said:

"Second brother, Xiaoyu, after the ice disaster is over, I will select the personnel and send the first batch of 10,000 people to the headquarters base to help build the development of the headquarters base."

I heard Uncle San mentioned the population migration again.

Li Yu smiled and said:

"Don't worry, wait until the ice disaster is over."

They had discussed these things in the four-person meeting to deal with the ice disaster before.

The four-person meeting included Li Yu, Uncle Er, Uncle San, and Uncle Da.

The four of them hold the core power of the Camphor Tree Base.

When it was decided to allow the survivors to enter the trading market without restrictions, they thought about the migration of personnel at that time.

The first batch of 10,000 people, the second batch of 20,000 people

And, after gradually digesting and absorbing, slowly increase the number of people.

Finally, a relatively balanced ratio between the population of Camphor Tree Base and Oil City was reached.

Otherwise, the population of a sub-base would be dozens of times that of the headquarters base, which is really unreasonable.

The reason for the current disparity in population ratio is that they misjudged the development speed of the trading market.

People are the productive forces and the driving force for development. They did not expect that they could burst out with such a powerful force when food was abundant.

The trading market has been built from scratch, the commercial district is so prosperous, and the buffer city has now been built in a prototype.

Apart from other things, the current turnover of points in the commercial district alone has reached 150,000 points.

Imagine that in the first week when the commercial district just launched the points system, the turnover was only a few hundred points.

Now it has achieved a 1,000-fold growth.

It is really terrifying!

After Li Yu communicated with his third uncle, he chatted with his eldest uncle and second uncle for a while.

The night was lonely.

Li Yu walked out of the meeting room.

The flowers, plants and trees that had been planted in the garden not far away have been moved to greenhouses or indoor plantations.

On the way to the villa area, there was no fruit tree on the roadside.

In the past two days, colleagues from the Ministry of Agriculture have moved all the trees on the ground of the entire camphor tree base.

The only thing is the bamboo forest behind the villa area, which is extremely tough.

After several natural disasters, it withered and was once a mess.

But every time spring comes, bamboo shoots will emerge from the soil, grow vigorously, and become a bamboo forest again.

And this is also a hardship that their big camphor tree must go through.

Li Yu stood at the entrance of the villa area, looking at the thousand-year-old camphor tree not far away.

There was worry in his eyes. Will this big tree survive this natural disaster?

Every time before the natural disaster comes, they will protect this big camphor tree.

In the case of extremely cold natural disasters, put on thick "clothes" for this tree and provide steam heating.

In the case of drought natural disasters, water this big tree regularly.

Before the typhoon natural disaster comes, the crown of this tree is pruned in advance to reduce wind resistance.

Over the years, this big tree has been struck by lightning and its branches have been blown down by the wind.

But it has always lived tenaciously.

Its body is covered with scars, but it is still alive.

After thousands of years, its roots have been firmly rooted deep in the soil of the camphor tree base.

It is the origin of the name of the camphor tree base and the symbol of the camphor tree base.

Now the emblem of the camphor tree force is it.

It is alive, it is very important.

Li Yu looked at the tall thousand-year-old tree in the distance. This ancient tree carried his childhood memories and accompanied his childhood.

And the memory after the end of the world.

It witnessed the development of the camphor tree base.

The meaning of this tree in his mind is extraordinary!

"You must be alive!"
