Chapter 955 Better to Be Alone than to Be Inferior

Very soon.

Li Yu arrived at the second outer city.

As soon as he entered the repair shop, he heard his second uncle's voice.

"Old Dong, it would be better if your electric car was lighter. It's too big."

"Minister of Internal Affairs, this battery technology has not been broken through before the end of the world. Generally speaking, lithium iron carbonate batteries or ternary lithium batteries are used.

Although ternary lithium batteries can hold more power per unit, lithium iron phosphate batteries will be more durable, because whether it is the number of cycle life or the remaining battery capacity, lithium iron phosphate batteries will be more than ternary lithium batteries."

"Okay, you think of a way to produce five more modified electric trucks this month, and try to reduce the weight as much as possible."

Old Dong looked embarrassed, but still accepted the task.

After thinking for a while, he continued to speak:

"Minister of Internal Affairs, the automatic zombie cleaning vehicle I mentioned last time will take some time. It's mainly because of the motor problem. It's stuck there now."

The second uncle didn't have much hope, so he nodded and said, "Well, don't worry."

"City Lord." Old Dong saw Li Yu coming in from the door and said hurriedly.

Li Yu nodded slightly when he heard Old Dong calling him.

Because the second uncle was facing Old Dong and his back was facing the gate, he didn't see Li Yu.

But when he heard what Old Dong said, he turned his head and looked back.

"Second uncle." Li Yu said after seeing the second uncle turn his head.

When the second uncle saw Li Yu, the serious and majestic expression on his face eased, and he said with a smile: "Xiao Yu, you are here."

"Well, second uncle, I have something to discuss with you."

When the second uncle saw Li Yu's serious expression, he knew in his heart that what Li Yu wanted to talk about was not a simple matter.

Old Dong was also tactful next to him. Seeing that the two had something to talk about, he didn't interrupt, but just walked slowly to the other side.

After seeing the old boss leave, the second uncle asked Li Yu, "What's the matter?"

Li Yu looked at the maintenance factory and said to the second uncle, "Come with me."

The second uncle didn't understand, so he followed Li Yu out of the maintenance factory.

It was four or five in the evening, the setting sun was slanting, and the halo was dim.

The sunset glow in the twilight looked extremely beautiful.

Following Li Yu, he came to the outside, where dragonflies were flying low. Li Yu took the second uncle to the group of ants.

He said to the second uncle, "Second uncle, have you found anything unusual recently?"

"Abnormal? Do you mean these dragonflies?"

"Not only these, Zhou Weiguo, who is responsible for breeding in the inner city, said that the cattle and sheep dare not go out of the pen, and they are willing to come out to eat grass only when they are driven with whips. Ah

And the wolfhounds I raised are also very anxious. Do you think this is familiar?"

As soon as these words came out.

The second uncle frowned, and a thought flashed in his eyes.

A few seconds later, he suddenly raised his head and said:

"Are you saying that there might be another major natural disaster? I remember that there seemed to be a similar phenomenon before the last volcanic eruption."

Li Yu gave his second uncle a thumbs up in his heart.

He understood it at once, and he didn't need to explain it so clearly.

So he nodded and said:

"I think there is a great possibility. In the past three years, the natural disasters we experienced had similar situations before the eruption, so I think the possibility is very high."

"Then, in this case." The second uncle pondered, lowered his head and began to think frantically.

"If this is the case, the out-of-town personnel, non-staff personnel, and cooperative personnel in the five satellite cities must be withdrawn! However, now that the stall is so large, it is estimated that it will take a few days for them to withdraw. I just don't know if it will be in time."

Li Yu pulled up a piece of wild grass on the ground and put the rhizome in the middle into his mouth to chew.

The rhizome of the wild grass is a little green and astringent, with a little sweetness.

"Anyway, let them prepare early, so that they can evacuate in early."

The second uncle nodded, raised his footsteps and walked towards the duty room.

"There is no time to lose. I will notify them right away."

After walking a few steps, the second uncle suddenly remembered something.

No, Xiaoyu came to him to talk about this matter. He could just give the order directly. Why did he come to him specifically?

Cooperating personnel!

Yes!

In the past, both cooperative personnel and non-staff personnel would be allowed to come in, but what about the new cooperative personnel this time?

Should they be allowed in?

After all, some of them held protests not long ago, and then rebelled and rioted.

The second uncle slowly turned around and asked Xiaoyu:

"What should we do with the new partners? Should we protect them?"

Li Yu smiled bitterly and said to the second uncle:

"I am struggling, so I came to discuss with you."

The second uncle sighed and said:

"Last time, you said to kill the relatives and friends of the protesters who were captured. I disagreed and thought it was a waste. Later, I suggested that they be taken to the fourth outer city to serve as coolies. As a result, these people rioted. Fortunately, you put iron chains on them before and sent people to supervise them, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

"I am really ashamed and dare not give random advice. Just follow your ideas."

The second uncle was a little ashamed. He always thought that he was very thoughtful, but he went astray last time.

If it weren't for the fact that there was no loss that time, the second uncle would be embarrassed to death.

When Li Yu heard the second uncle say this, he spit out the roots of the weeds in his mouth.

"I'm actually quite confused."

"I'll tell you what I think, and you can help me refer to it."

“Considering ourselves, I consider stability first.

Let’s talk about the disadvantages first: these people coming in will add a certain amount of pressure to us.

The first one is the issue of housing. With thousands of people, it is estimated that five more greenhouses will be added to accommodate them. Now that there are plants planted in the greenhouses, there is no guarantee that they will take action on these seedlings.

In addition, there are too many people. If a riot breaks out in the city, it will be very troublesome for us to deal with it, and chaos may break out. "

"In addition, I don't trust these people. Although a rat's droppings spoil the pot, the last protest incident does not represent everyone, but it can be seen that this group of people is not easy to manage.

Letting them in may cause management problems. "

"In terms of food, we used to lend food to some partners based on natural disasters, and our old partners would basically pay it back."

The second uncle heard this and said:

"Actually, there is another situation that you may not know.

For the old cooperators, after performing tasks in the past few months, people from many groups have actually stored food with us. We are now like a bank before the end of the world.

These people are very frugal and control their food every day. I looked at the data displayed on the computer and found that the points owned by most of the cooperators, and the points that have not been exchanged for food, can sustain their food for half a month on average.

Many people can even reach a four-month dosage. "

"So many?" Li Yu asked in surprise.

"Yes, maybe I'm afraid of hunger, so I don't dare to eat at ordinary times. I save most of it for tasks, and a small amount for daily life."

Li Yu nodded and said: "This is good, at least it is a kind of trust in us and reduces our pressure.

I'll keep talking.

We can provide loan grain to the old cooperators, but if these new cooperators want to provide loans, five thousand people, that is not a small sum, and it is very likely that they will not be able to get it back.

"

As Li Yu talked, he discovered that there were really many disadvantages to bringing in new collaborators.

Before, he was thinking alone and didn't talk to anyone. Now he was sorting out his thoughts while talking, and he had already made a rough decision.

When the second uncle heard this, he said, "In that case, what are you struggling with?"

Li Yu smiled bitterly and said: "I haven't finished speaking yet. I wanted to finish all the pros and cons, but I didn't expect that I would just talk about the cons. There are even some that I had never thought of before. This time I talked about it. Also said it.”

The second uncle said patiently: "Then tell me the benefits of letting them in. Take a look at the pros and cons, just to sort out your thoughts."

Li Yu nodded and continued:

“The advantage is that we consider the future and the long-term development of the Da Zhangshu base.

In the future, more people and more labor will be needed, and these people may be transformed into the driving force for the future development of the Da Zhangshu Base. "

"No more?" Second Uncle asked with a smile on his face.

Li Yu thought hard and couldn't remember it for a while.

After all, the Da Zhangshu base is now relatively well developed, unlike two years ago, with a small population and insufficient combat power.

In addition, I was really disgusted by the new collaborators a while ago.

It’s just that they are not grateful, but they rebel and protest.

Li Yu smiled bitterly and said: "I really didn't expect it at the moment. If I talk to you, I probably know how to do it."

The second uncle nodded and said:

"I think what you said before is right. There are no longer many talented people. If a team only has many people but is not united and has serious internal friction, it is not actually strong.

If a team has a small number of people, but each performs its duties, and is united enough and has many elites, it will be very powerful. "

"It's better to lack than to waste." Li Yu's eyes flashed and he said.

"Yes, that's the truth. And didn't you bring in Zhang Qiwu and others last time? These dozens of people are enough. They are knowledgeable and capable. We are looking for such people."

"Okay, I understand, then don't let those new people in."

Li Yu already had the answer in his heart and said.

After speaking, he said to his second uncle: "Let's do this. After a while, you will ask the people in the satellite city to start organizing things, and all tasks will be suspended. Don't let the collaborators go out to perform tasks."

When the second uncle heard this, he thought about it and said:

"One more thing. I have registered those new collaborators before. Among these people, there are actually some people with good abilities."

"Moreover, some of them said they had seen you. Like Zhang Rufeng, he said you asked him to come here. Is this true?"

When Li Yu heard the name Zhang Rufeng, he suddenly remembered it.

"Well, considering this, I'm destined to be with him. Maybe I've been too busy recently."

"That Zhang Rufeng keeps saying he wants to see you."

"Well, people from Zhang Rufeng's group can be brought in. How have they performed recently?" Li Yu asked.

"It's not bad. Among the many new cooperators, they have carried out a relatively large number of tasks, and the quality is not bad. Among the protesters who were searched last time, their team arrested the second most people."

Li Yu pondered and said:

"Speaking of this, I remembered that my uncle told me last time that there was a man named Dai Jiusheng riding a motorcycle. Before the protests broke out, he was still thinking about reporting the news. I seemed to have seen him when I went to Southeast Asia and had some impression of him.

This man seems to be a retired soldier, so let's count him as one."

The second uncle nodded and said, "Not only him, but also Shi Fanfan and Zhao Si.

Some of these small teams came from the army, and some have more special skills. None of them participated in the protests.

I think these groups can be included.

It just so happens that they are not many in number."

Li Yu thought in his heart when he heard what his second uncle said.

It's not possible to kill them all with one blow, there are still some people in them who can be protected.

Thinking of this, Li Yu said to his second uncle:

"Okay, why don't you make a list and write down the names of these people, and let them in when the time comes. As for other new partners, we will see when the time comes. Don't consider protecting them for now."

The second uncle nodded and said, "Okay, then I will write down the list of new partners to be put in."

After that, he walked towards the duty room.

Li Yu hurriedly said: "At the same time, let the people in the satellite city prepare, let them start to sort out tonight, and they can retreat to the big camphor tree base tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

The fourth and fifth satellite cities are far away from the big camphor tree base, they have to hurry up."

"I know, don't worry, I will go up and announce this news later." The second uncle said.

Li Yu nodded, and then watched the second uncle leave the second outer city.

Thinking in his heart:

After discussing this matter with the second uncle, it is considered to be an important matter.

Today is the 24th, and it is evening.

Tomorrow is the 25th, and if they reserve one or two days, then there are only three or four days left for them.

In three or four days, the people in the five satellite cities need to evacuate all the people and materials to the big camphor tree base, so the time is still a bit tight.

"Xiao Jun and his team will be able to come back with oil tomorrow."

"He Bing and his team will also come back together."

"I don't know if the oil well maintenance is going smoothly, and whether it can be done tomorrow."

Li Yu looked at the sky and muttered to himself.

The key is that he remembered Zhang Rufeng, and when he thought of the guy's appearance at the beginning, Li Yu couldn't help but laugh.

"Dai Jiusheng? The one riding a motorcycle."

"Zhao Si, Shi Fanfan." Li Yu read the names of the people mentioned by his second uncle just now.
