Chapter 799: Wall Repair, Transfer Station
Oil City.
The next day.
Li Yu woke up from his sleep. At about three o'clock in the morning yesterday, Lao Bi and Li Tie came to him to review the system of Oil City and the task exchange items for the corresponding partners that they had worked out all night.
There was no way. I had already told Lao Bi that he would come to me no matter how late it was.
So from three o'clock to five o'clock in the morning, I went through them one by one with Lao Bi and them. At least I finished them. I slept from five o'clock to seven thirty in the morning.
When I got up in the morning, the temperature was still relatively low. Li Yu poured a handful of cold water on his face, and he was much more awake.
Then he picked up the plan discussed last night from the table, looked through it again, and after confirming that there was no problem, Li Yu got up and went to Zhong Chuchu.
At present, the repair work of the wall of Oil City is imperative. As for the building materials, the motorcycle gang had actually stockpiled a lot of them there when they built the motorcycle gang's lair before.
Now, we can directly send people to move those materials over.
He handed the list to Zhong Chuchu and asked her to talk to her subordinates about this matter, and they could start to implement it today.
At present, the most important thing is the repair of the wall and the operation of the oil equipment.
Since arriving at the oil city, oil extraction has been stopped for a few days.
Zhong Chuchu looked at the list without much surprise on her face.
In addition, Li Yu found Ju Tianrui again and asked him to prepare so that he could go to the motorcycle gang's nest to move construction materials today.
Ju Tianrui had just woken up not long ago, and said to Li Yu with a confused face: "Are we going to start repairing the wall today?"
Li Yu nodded and said: "Yes, it has been decided. Let's get started."
The plan made by Lao Bi and Li Tie last night actually included how to strengthen the existing walls.
In the past, these walls directly adopted the simplest method, that is, stacking containers, stacking several huge containers, and then automatically forming a wall.
One advantage of doing this is that it saves time and effort.
But there are also some disadvantages. After experiencing wind, rain, sun, rain and natural disasters in the past two years, there are some small gaps in many places of the container. These gaps are only the size of a bowl. They are all corroded by rain and become a little brittle.
The new method they adopted is very direct. On the basis of the current one, fill the container with soil and then pour a layer of mud on the surface.
To be precise, add a layer of concrete on the surface of the container.
With soil in the container, the weight is increased and it is not easy to be blown by wind and rain. In addition, with concrete, the container isolates oxygen and avoids oxidation.
This method is the simplest, most time-saving and effective method based on the current fence.
Ju Tianrui received the order and was not ambiguous. He took people to move the materials.
Li Yu looked at Zhong Chuchu who came out of the cafeteria and asked: "Have you finished talking? How is it?"
Zhong Chuchu nodded and said: "After talking, when do they mean to start?"
"Now." Li Yu heard this with a smile on his face.
"Now?" Zhong Chuchu asked with some doubts.
"Yes, we have building materials to transport now. Is there anyone to take it?" Li Yu said to Zhong Chuchu with a smile.
Zhong Chuchu saw Ju Tianrui preparing a truck not far away, and hurriedly said: "Yes, I will tell them now, we can start now."
"Well. For the extraction of these tasks and the exchange of food, please find Lao Bi. He probably hasn't gotten up yet." Li Yu said lightly.
"Okay." Zhong Chuchu nodded vigorously.
Soon.
Many people came out of the cafeteria, and Li Yu told Ju Tianrui about this matter. After hearing this, Ju Tianrui also smiled.
It would be better if someone came to help.
Half an hour later, Ju Tianrui led dozens of people and drove towards the motorcycle gang's nest.
Lao Bi woke up at noon. After he was over 35 years old, staying up late became a little bit incapable.
When he woke up, he saw someone starting to build on the wall.
Ju Tianrui and his team not only brought the building materials, but also brought back everything that the motorcycle gang had prepared to build their nest.
According to Lao Gui's original plan, the motorcycle gang's nest was very large, and a lot of materials were needed.
At the beginning, most of the surrounding areas of Xinyang were looted, and only half of the materials needed to build the wall were left, so they had to build and collect at the same time.
You should know that the motorcycle gang at the time imprisoned more than a thousand slaves to build the wall.
On the Oil City side, there were only a hundred people at most.
However, the motorcycle gang's nest was almost the size of a small town street, which was dozens of times larger than the Oil City.
In addition, the construction method was based on the reinforcement of the original foundation, so it would be much simpler.
Lao Bi rubbed his sleepy eyes, looked at the Oil City Wall that was being built in full swing, and walked to Li Yu standing next to him in a daze and asked: "Mr. Li, this, it's starting now?"
"Yes, efficiency is paramount. Are you still waiting for the New Year?" Li Yu glanced at him and said calmly.
"No, no, no. I just didn't expect it to be so fast. Where did these building materials come from?" Lao Bi was a little confused.
"Oh, by the way, you didn't go to the motorcycle gang's headquarters a few days ago. All these building materials were moved from there and can be used just right." Li Yu said.
Lao Bi watched as the gate of the Oil City Walled City opened. Cars carrying some building materials kept coming in, and then some empty cars went out at the same time.
He looked like he was in full swing.
Seeing this, Lao Bi was a little surprised and a little happy at the same time. After all, Li Yu and the others will return to the Da Zhangshu Base in a few days.
By then, there may be more than forty people left.
If the walls could be built earlier, it would increase their confidence in resisting zombies or enemies.
At this time, news came from Ju Tianrui, who was far away in the motorcycle gang's lair.
"Mr. Li, some of the people we rescued when we wiped out the motorcycle gangs saw us carrying construction materials.
Someone asked, so I told him about the cooperator mode. He wanted to come over and join in the transportation and then exchange for food. What do you think? "
Li Yu pondered for a long time.
To be honest, who doesn’t like a larger population?
But a large number of people means food pressure, so little food was seized from the motorcycle gang.
If these hundreds or even thousands of people were taken in, it would be impossible to feed them. If they were taken in and they could not be fed, trouble would arise.
So he implemented cold treatment.
I saved you, but I can't feed you.
You can fend for yourself.
Li Yu hesitated for a moment and looked at the wall being built.
The wall of the Oil City Walled City is different from that of the Motorcycle Party's lair, which ranges from 0 to 1, has an area dozens of times larger, and has very high requirements.
Based solely on the information from the survivors, Li Yu estimated that the walls of the motorcycle gang's lair could be built on a scale of thousands of people and would take more than a year to complete.
Oil City is small in area and is reinforced on the original basis, so the speed is a hundred times faster.
After weighing the left and right, Li Yu said to Ju Tianrui: "I will give you an answer later."
Immediately, Li Yu approached his third uncle to discuss the matter.
"Third uncle, many of the slaves of the motorcycle gang we rescued before stayed in the gang's lair. This morning when I asked Ju Tianrui to go over to carry construction materials, I learned about the cooperative personnel model. I thought How do you feel about participating?”
The third uncle heard this and said: "This is a good thing. It can speed up the construction of the wall of the oil city."
"But we don't have that much food."
The third uncle said with some surprise: "Didn't they seize dozens of tons from the motorcycle gang's home base?"
Li Yu said: "Yes, that's not what I'm mainly worried about. If there is one, there will be two. I'm afraid that if we ask them to help and then exchange the food, they will form an inertia and ask us to send tasks later. This is equivalent to having to raise food. Got them."
The third uncle suddenly laughed.
"Xiaoyu, you are thinking too much. The gun is in our hands, and we have the initiative. The reason why I think the cooperation model is good is that it is a one-time transaction and we don't owe each other. In fact, you don't have to think so much.
If he is asked to work today, I will give him food. If he does not need it today, he will not come. If he insists on coming, I will not give him food.
If he robs me, I will kill him. You should understand this truth.
Moreover, the most important thing is that we have not left the Oil City Walled City yet. If you are worried that so many of them will rebel during the repairs, we can wait here and wait until the wall is repaired before leaving. "
The third uncle looked at Li Yu with some surprise.
One word awakens the dreamer.
Li Yu patted his head. Why did his third uncle remind him of such a simple truth?
So he said: "My mind has not turned around, I understand."
He immediately contacted Ju Tianrui and expressed that he could cooperate with those people.
The left and right are also being repaired, and the speed should be much faster. It doesn't matter if we wait.
After Ju Tianrui received the news from Li Yu, he talked to those people and expressed that he could cooperate and exchange for food.
With the cooperation of these people, the speed of moving building materials and construction suddenly accelerated.
Li Yu and the others did not directly participate in the repair. Instead, they stood around the wall and monitored them at all times to prevent these people from doing other things secretly while the wall was being repaired.
Time flew by and it was around four o'clock in the afternoon.
Li Yu asked Lao Bi to exchange grain for these people.
After some of them got the food, they left the oil city directly and found a place to rest not far away.
After all, these people were not from the original oil city, so Li Yu did not let them enter the city.
After they learned that they could obtain food through this method tomorrow, they all expressed that they would come again tomorrow.
At night.
Lao Bi was there with a calculator to calculate the grain exchanged today.
On average, one person eats about one kilogram of food per day, which is nearly a thousand people.
One day is equivalent to thousands of kilograms of grain. Judging from the current progress, it will take about six days to repair the wall of the Oil City, which is about 6,000 kilograms.
Three tons.
This is how fast those people came to cooperate and help. If Li Yu later took away Lao Huangtou and Zhong Chuchu, only a few dozen people would be left.
The repair speed may be twenty times slower, and it is estimated that it will take at least three months to complete the repair.
There is strength in numbers.
Sure enough.
Under the lamp, Li Yu walked through the darkness.
"How? How much food did you consume today?"
Lao Bi frowned and said, "1,023 kilograms. If all repairs are completed, it will probably cost more than three tons."
Li Yu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
This was less than he expected.
In fact, compared to the Da Zhangshu Base, if all the collaborators are integrated here, the pressure will be extremely high.
The Da Zhangshu base still has at least thousands of tons of grain inventory, and with stable planting, it can continue to produce grain.
However, there is only exit from the Oil City Walled City, but no entrance.
At the Da Zhangshu base, due to the construction of the third outer city and the large number of collaborators, plus the consumption of personnel in the inner and outer cities of the base, more than ten tons of food are consumed every month.
Fortunately, the Da Zhangshu Base can now produce sixty or seventy tons of grain every quarter.
Now the third outer city is almost completed, and the planting area has increased by 150 acres. If there are no accidents, the grain production can increase by 70 to 80%, reaching a quarterly output of more than 100 tons of grain.
Li Yu calculated it, more than three tons, six days.
In fact, it’s still a good deal for them.
Use food to increase repair speed and trade food for time.
After understanding the situation, Li Yu looked at Lao Bi and said: "There are too many people repairing the wall now. It is not safe to leave more than forty of you alone. I have talked with my third uncle. After the wall is repaired, we will go back."
"Really? That's great. I was thinking that if you guys go there later, I only have about forty people here, which is totally insufficient. Mr. Li is very attentive and considers me too much. "Lao Bi's bitter face just now turned into a smile.
Li Yu smiled, shook his head and left.
Six days should be enough time.
Besides, Ant and Uncle Jackal have already said that some minor faults in the helicopter can be eliminated tomorrow.
At that time, we can fly back by helicopter. We haven’t contacted Da Zhangshu Base for so long, and we don’t know what the current situation is at Da Zhangshu Base.
Li Yu thought about it, and then slowly returned to the RV.
He was thinking about another thing at this time.
The helicopter's carrying capacity is actually quite good. It can carry 12 tons without people.
If it carries people, it can carry 24 people.
And it’s very fast. If you travel during the day, you can fly back to the Da Zhangshu base in three and a half hours.
You can fly at least two round trips a day.
It just burns too much fuel, but now that they have an oil city, they have far more continuous fuel, and this shortcoming has been solved.
"It's a pity that there is only one. It would be nice if there were more." Li Yu sighed in his heart at this time.
His original plan was to establish a transfer station between the Oil City Walled City and the Da Zhangshu Base.
In this way, it would take two days to go from the Da Zhangshu Base to the Oil City Walled City or back. This transfer station could provide them with shelter at night, without having to spend time looking for a night camping spot.
However, now that helicopters are suddenly available, the travel time has been shortened ten times, and the transfer station does not seem to be so necessary.
"No, a transfer station must be established. The helicopter transport capacity alone is too small. If the helicopter breaks down, it will be troublesome."
Li Yu murmured in a low voice, and finally decided to build a transfer station between the Oil City and the Da Zhangshu Base.
This transit point is waiting for him to find a suitable place when he returns.
