Chapter 762: Bai Jie's Important Matter (5,000 Words Long Chapter)
Guangshi.
evening.
As the sun sets, the clouds on the horizon are dyed red by the setting sun, and there is a circle of light blue sky on the edge of the clouds.
The vegetation is lush, and even on high-rise buildings, some plants will grow, and these plants will grow wantonly.
In the steel jungle, there are some trees and grass growing in it. Since they have not been taken care of for a long time, they have now grown into the corridor.
There was even a park in the distance with no aisles at all, all blocked by lush vegetation.
The chirping of insects brings a touch of life to the world.
But there were only the chirping of insects, and without the hustle and bustle of traffic, it seemed even more desolate and desolate.
Suddenly, there was a sound of tires crushing the sand on the ground.
boom!
Zhu Xiao closed the forklift door, patted the dust on his hands, and said to his third uncle: "Captain, all the steel has been loaded onto the truck. I just checked and it's all empty."
The third uncle leaned on the front of the car and looked at the sunset. After hearing Zhu Xiao's words, he turned his head and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work."
Zhu Xiao shook his head and was about to speak when Xiao Hu came over with a few people.
"Captain, we just checked again. The walls are all in good condition and there are no problems."
Xiao Hu came over and said.
Since the last time they suffered a loss when zombies broke in in the middle of the night, every time they stayed here overnight, they would check the entire fence and building complex again to make sure there were no big mistakes.
What's more, they have to stay here overnight. Taking some time to check during the day can avoid a lot of trouble at night, and they can have a good sleep.
Looking at the familiar people driving around, the third uncle nodded and said: "Okay, let's go to bed early tonight. We will go back early tomorrow morning and this matter will be over."
They came here four times, back and forth. They were tired from traveling and traveling, and only rested once. They were already a little tired.
Now it's finally time to look forward to the end.
Zhu Xiao and Xiao Hu had excited smiles on their faces. They knew that going back this time would mean the end of their test, and there would be a result by then.
They are looking forward to it very much.
On the other side, Xu Chengcai was chatting with Xiao Jun.
Their uncle and nephew had not seen each other for a long time before the apocalypse, but they were able to meet each other after the apocalypse, which made the relationship between the two of them even stronger. They both cherished the relatives they finally found.
Whoosh!
The sound of arrow feathers exploding sounded.
Snapped!
On a nearby tree, a white dove was nailed to the trunk by arrow feathers.
The ant put away the crossbow in his hand, put a smile on his face, and slowly walked towards the tree next to the aisle.
There was a burst of exclamation from Guo Peng and others nearby.
"Brother Ant, you are so accurate! Please teach me."
"This is already the fourth bird Brother Ant has shot. It's really amazing."
"His marksmanship and accuracy are worthy of being from the special forces."
The ant walked under the tree, stood on tiptoe slightly, and pulled out the arrow feathers that had penetrated the pigeon's body along with the pigeon.
It seems that we can roast a pigeon tonight.
The ant was in a happy mood and took the pigeon back to the third uncle and others.
Putting the crossbow next to him, he plucking the pigeon's feathers with some skill. While plucking the feathers, he said to his third uncle: "Captain, you can go back tomorrow. I see that all the steel materials have been installed."
The third uncle said: "Well, let's go back tomorrow. There is so much steel. The base should not be short of steel for a long time in the future."
Hearing this, Ant said with a smile: "Okay, I'll wait until I get back and let the Chinese medicine doctor do another cupping session for me. By the way, I haven't seen Xiao Hei for a long time. I wonder if He Chao treats him well."
"Don't worry, He Chao will do things safely." The third uncle said with a faint smile on his face.
In the afterglow of the setting sun, after they had carried all the remaining steel, they sat on the roadside in twos and threes. Some people ate dry food, some drank water, and some people sat in their cars to rest early.
Night falls.
The hooting of the owl is accompanied by the roar of the zombies.
The ant was still reminiscing about the pigeon soup that he had stewed in the evening. He boasted and said to Lao Qin: "Old Qin, am I good at my craftsmanship?"
Lao Qin picked it up and said, "Not bad, but a little bit less. Please use more next time. This is not enough to fill the gaps between teeth."
Xu Chengcai, who was next to him, said with a smile: "That's good, okay, I'll go on duty, you can rest first."
After saying that, Xu Chengcai walked out of the RV and went on duty.
The third uncle was lying on the bed of the RV, looking at the dark roof of the car, his head empty, not thinking about anything.
He always felt that everything now seemed so unreal, and he felt like he was dreaming in a trance.
But he didn't think too much about it. The base has developed to this point and has adapted to all conditions. He just needs to do what he should do well.
Nothing happened all night.
Early the next morning, Third Uncle and others woke up.
As usual, we had some breakfast first and then hit the road.
At the entrance of Guangshi, the gate welded by them with steel plates was also thrown onto the car.
In the future, they will never come back here again. All the steel materials in the Guangshi Iron and Steel Plant have been evacuated, and the doors are no longer used. It is better to take them back, maybe they can be used.
Dozens of cars were slowly heading north, facing the rising sun.
About two hours after they left, a car suddenly stopped at the entrance of the steel plant.
They watched for a while, and two people got off the car and ran in stealthily.
Ten minutes later, the two ran out and came to the side of the car to report.
"It seems that this group of killers has indeed left, and it is estimated that they will never come back here again." The middle-aged man in the lead said.
Then, he said to the two people under the car: "Get in the car, go back, tell Brother Dong that the group has left, and we can move bigger. During this period, it's really suffocating."
The car started, and in a cloud of dust, the car disappeared at the end of the road.
Big camphor tree base.
Li Yu was in the inner city, teasing three little wolfhounds.
He would train these wolfhounds whenever he had time. These three wolfhounds were also human and could roughly understand some of Li Yu's commands.
Such as sitting down, picking up something, etc., can be done easily.
As the wolfhounds grow up, their physiques are getting bigger and bigger.
Every morning when Li Yu goes out for morning exercise, these three wolfhounds run behind him and will not be left behind at all.
Three dogs and one person shuttled through the forest, which looked quite impressive.
Li Yu did not feed the three wolfhounds very well. Basically, whatever people ate, if there were some leftovers, he would just throw them to eat.
Sometimes, they could even learn to kill birds in the forest.
It is worth mentioning that these birds in the end of the world seemed to be aware of the horror of zombies. They would rather face humans, so many birds chose to station their nests here in the inner and outer cities of the base.
For the people in the camphor tree base, there was no shortage of food, so they did not attack these birds. However, occasionally getting a few bird eggs was also considered to be collecting some rent from the birds.
After training these birds, Li Yu stood up and prepared to go to the research room.
The last time I went to the Western Alliance, after testing, the enhanced zombie attraction potion was very effective, so good that Li Yu was shocked.
There was still one bottle left last time, but this bottle was not enough.
Li Yu was going to ask Bai Jie to get two more bottles in case of emergency. This thing might be used to deal with Guan Chongjin and others in the future.
In May, the weather became hotter and hotter, and Li Yu opened the door of the research room.
Entering the research room, a cool breeze came, which shocked Li Yu.
"Mr. Li."
"Mr. Li."
He saw Bai Jie, Xiaolan, Madi, and the newly arrived Kong Shuang and others busy, and they all greeted Li Yu.
Li Yu nodded slightly, then walked over to look at their operating tables.
He did not ask about their progress in developing the antidote for zombies.
Scientific experiments are often not as interesting as imagined. Most of the time, they are constantly doing experiments, failing, then recording, summarizing, and then experimenting again.
The development of the antidote for zombies must be very difficult.
Li Yu was not in a hurry about this, so he took his time.
But when he saw some liquid in some glass bottles on the table, he felt a little curious.
There were some small notes on the glass bottles, and he walked closer to take a look.
Ammonium lauryl sulfate.
? ? ?
"What is this? Why does it smell like osmanthus?"
Li Yu looked at Kong Shuang and said.
Kong Shuang put down the test tube in her hand and said, "Shampoo. Ammonium lauryl sulfate is the chemical name of shampoo."
Li Yu felt a little embarrassed. He felt like an illiterate.
But he felt a little surprised. He didn't expect Kong Shuang to be so efficient. He just made fertilizer and soap a few days ago, and now he has made shampoo.
So he smiled and said, "Not bad, can you tell me what those things are?"
Li Yu saw some words he knew next to him, but he didn't know what was in them.
Kong Shuang took off her gloves after hearing this, and walked to Li Yu carefully, introducing in detail: "This is a soap made of chemicals such as sodium hydroxide, as well as various detergents, bleach, disinfectants, cosmetics, deodorants, etc.
Over there, I have been working with Teacher Ma and others to develop some daily-use medicines, such as this, a semi-synthetic antibiotic synthesized from triethylamine, N, N-dimethylbenzene, pyridine and quinoline.
Also, calcium chloride is used to treat tetany caused by hypocalcemia; another example is the use of potassium hydroxide to produce spironolactone and testosterone propionate.
Now there are actually some problems, that is, some raw materials are insufficient. We tried our best to use other substitutes, but the effect is not very good.. "
As Li Yu listened, the satisfaction in his eyes became more and more obvious.
I didn't expect to pick up a treasure. Kong Shuang directly filled the gap in their chemical field, and was also an expert in the application field.
That's not a theory, but a person who can actually produce things.
Hearing her talk about the problem of insufficient raw materials, Li Yu frowned and said, "Okay, no problem, you can give me a list, and I will have someone collect it and give it to you later, but you have to write it in detail, otherwise I am afraid they can't find it or recognize it."
"Okay." Kong Shuang nodded.
As if thinking of something, Kong Shuang said:
"Well, Mr. Li, my personal suggestion is that although there is some oil in the base at present, the stock is too small, and oil is the mother of chemical industry and the most important chemical raw material."
"Not only can it be used to make fuel, but also plastics, asphalt, clothes, rubber tires and shoes, medicines, and detergents."
“In addition, there is lubricating oil. Lubricating oil and grease are widely used to lubricate various machines. Without lubrication, almost all machinery cannot operate normally.
Most of the ingredients in lubricating oil and grease (butter) are base oils refined from petroleum. In many lubricating oils, 90% of the ingredients are petroleum.
The common lubricating oil is the engine lubricating oil used in automobile engines, commonly known as engine oil. "
Li Yu was a little surprised. There was some knowledge that he didn't know very well.
Although he knew the importance of oil, he did not expect that oil would be so effective.
Immediately afterwards.
Kong Shuang said over there: "Actually, the chemical fertilizers and pesticides produced a few days ago also require the use of petroleum. And many food preservation, dyeing, and seasoning all involve petroleum products."
Facing what Kong Shuang said, Li Yu nodded heavily after hearing it.
He is not a god, and it is impossible for him to know everything about every industry and field.
Although preparations were made in all aspects when the apocalypse first broke out, it seems that it is still not enough now.
If he only lived with a small part, then just the medicines and so on that he had hoarded before would be enough.
But now that the base wants to expand, one thing must be achieved.
You can produce it yourself, you can produce these things yourself.
This is a long-term solution. Otherwise, as time goes by, all kinds of materials outside will be emptied sooner or later. It is better to develop it early and then produce it on a large scale.
Li Yu's expression became more and more serious as he listened. He felt that this matter should be placed at the height of the future base development strategy.
Independent production of daily necessities and some basic necessities must be achieved.
This process may take a long time, and it will require more manpower and materials later on, but let’s do it first and lay the foundation.
So Li Yu looked at Kong Shuang and said seriously: "Okay, I understand. Later, you and Bai Jie write me a list of the items you need, and I will find a solution for you."
Kong Shuang thanked him: "Thank you, Mr. Li."
Li Yu waved his hand and said, "No, you gave me a surprise. Very good. Do you have any problems with your life with Lao Dong? Do you need to change the room you live in to a larger one?"
Kong Shuang said quickly: "It's okay, it's okay, we live well, we don't have to worry about food and drink, thank you Mr. Li for your concern, we are very grateful."
When Li Yu heard her say this, he said nothing more.
I communicated with Ma Di, Bai Jie and others for a while, and told them about the need to create an enhanced version of the zombie attracting potion.
Both said there was no problem.
Then Li Yu was about to leave. When Bai Jie saw this, she quickly said: "Mr. Li, let me see you off."
Li Yu glanced at Bai Jie. When no one was paying attention, Bai Jie blinked at him.
Li Yu coughed and was about to shake his head in refusal when he heard Bai Jie coming over and whispering from close range: "Mr. Li, the enhanced version of the zombie attracting potion, I have some new ideas to share with you."
Li Yu then nodded and said, "Okay, let's talk as we walk."
Then, he walked out of the scientific research room, with Bai Jie following behind him.
As for Ma Di and others in the scientific research room, they thought this scene was normal.
After all, the person currently in charge of the entire scientific research office is Bai Jie, so it is reasonable for Mr. Li to ask him to understand the situation.
Just like in the workplace before the apocalypse, it was normal behavior for the big boss to sometimes call the junior leader out alone to talk.
The two of them had just walked out of the scientific research room, and there were several rooms for storing raw materials and a lounge next to them.
Li Yu turned his head and was about to ask about the enhanced zombie attraction potion, but he felt a pair of small hands reaching towards him.
Then, Bai Jie looked around.
Standing in front of Li Yu, he put down his right hand.
Li Yu frowned, smelling the aroma on the tip of his nose, which made him swallow.
"Well, let's talk about work, don't make trouble." Li Yu said seriously with a serious face.
"Keke~" The voluptuous beauty mark on Bai Jie's lips was extremely conspicuous.
Under normal circumstances, Bai Jie would look very serious and indifferent with black eyes, which was completely different from how she felt at this time.
Bai Jie held Li Yu's sleeve and walked towards the lounge.
Based on her understanding of the people in the scientific research room, they are all workaholics and generally do not go to the break room.
Li Yu's sleeves were pulled and he felt anxious inside.
This is too indulgent and arrogant. To do such a crazy thing in broad daylight damages his majestic image.
Realizing that Li Yu couldn't be pulled, Bai Jie's eyes flickered and she changed her approach.
He put his hand down, pulled Li Yu's belt, smiled and talked, and walked forward on his own.
well.
Helpless, Li Yu had no choice but to follow him and talk about work matters. It wouldn't be a big deal to have an exchange.
After entering the lounge.
Bai Jie wears high heels.
Suxue.
After the surplus.
Li Yu spit several mouthfuls of saliva into Bai Jie's face.
Then he put the belt away, looked at the ceiling and said, "Tell me, what new ideas do you have for the enhanced zombie attracting potion?"
Bai Jie gently helped Li Yu light a cigarette, and then sat on the table, as if he didn't care whether he was naked or not.
He said: "After the last research, I found that the power of this zombie attracting potion is unquestionable, but any potion will have a corresponding nemesis.
Recently, I thought of a solvent that can unlock the enhanced zombie attracting potion. It is not complicated to make. It has not been tested yet, but you can try it. "
Li Yu heard this and nodded and said, "Not bad, then you go and try it. In addition, the zombie attracting potion is found to evaporate easily. You should think of a way to solve this problem."
"Okay." Bai Jie put on her glasses and said seriously.
(Ask for monthly tickets, there is no way, the post I just wrote was blocked.)
