Chapter 62 Construction of the Base
The careful thoughts among those strange women had nothing to do with Jiang Chen.
After catching a taxi, he went straight back to the Seven Days Hotel.
Aisha is now studying Chinese hard. After seeing Jiang Chen come back, a slightly shy smile appeared on the originally indifferent face.
Just like a new wife.
However, this smile really made him a little unbearable, because the sense of guilt was really overwhelming!
Although Jiang Chen hadn't married her yet, he always felt like a cheating husband, but he was facing a gentle and considerate wife at home.
......Or will it be more restrained in the future? There seems to be a lot on the plate.
He smiled in a panic, and then he took Aisha to a nearby restaurant and had a hearty dinner without pork. He was still very fond of this helpless girl. He had some crooked thoughts about taking care of his body after taking care of it, no matter how he said it.
Yes, there is.
But it's not a problem to indulge in Wenrou Township all day long. He didn't go back to the end times to see it for a while, so he was very worried.
Silent all night.
Come together the next morning, Jiang Chen watched Aisha carry her bag to the language class, and left a few red tickets and a note on the table "If I don't come back, don't wait for me to eat" , then left the hotel, found a corner with no one and a camera, and traveled back to the apocalypse.

"You're finally back, which chick did you sleep with last night?" Sun Jiao crossed her arms with a half-smile and looked at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen smiled embarrassedly, changed the subject calmly, and began to ask about the construction of the base.
Although Sun Jiao was very charming and naughty, she was still able to distinguish between primary and secondary. Taking a deep breath, Sun Jiao began to tell Jiang Chen about the recent situation of the base, leaving irrelevant questions and complaints behind.
The first is the construction of infrastructure.
The wall of the base has been successfully advanced 200 meters in the direction of the sewer entrance, and an open space about the size of two football fields (about 20 acres) has been opened up. The half-destroyed wooden cottages in the middle were flattened by the survivors, but the foundations under them could be used directly. As for the electrical appliances and furniture in those small villas, they were all moved to the open space. If it is repaired well, it is used, and if it is not repaired, it is disassembled into parts for use.
The chief architect of the base, Lu Huasheng, commanded several construction teams to rebuild four proposed dormitory buildings on the ready-made foundation. This three-story simple dormitory building can accommodate 30 residents each. As for why 4 buildings were built, it was naturally under Jiang Chen's advice to prepare for future recruitment.
One of them has been basically completed and occupancy, and the remaining three are under construction.
In addition, three-story hardened concrete towers were built on the four corners of the site. That is, there are two in the backyard of the villa and two in front of the new development. A light machine gun was set up on the watchtower, and a layer of camouflage net was simply covered on the outside, and one person was arranged to stand guard in each tower.
Due to the remote location here, the danger of zombies is not high. Walk for more than ten kilometers in the direction of the sixth block. Only when you enter the urban area will there be more difficult alien species to deal with. Therefore, the fishbone survivor base currently needs to guard against other objects. Survivor with ulterior motives. However, most survivors see the walls and machine guns and generally walk around it.
After two months, the sentry machine gun should be able to be replaced here. Jiang Chen has placed an order with Zhao Chenwu's military factory, 4 sentry machine guns, each with a unit price of 3,000 sub-crystals, which can be laser-guided shooting and can automatically identify heat source signals. Such hand-made high-tech gadgets are generally more expensive, and the output is extremely low. After all, some parts can only be modified by scrap recycling or other parts.
In addition to these defensive equipment, Lu Huasheng also built a simple community center in the middle of this newly expanded area according to Jiang Chen's instructions.
At present, the main function of this community center is to serve as a canteen and meeting room. At present, only one floor has been built, and the plan is to build three floors.
Thankfully, the fully automated water treatment device in Wanghai City makes the base not have to worry about drinking water. The water pipe made of polyethylene material can easily be connected to the water supply system in the city. As long as there is no accident of a large amount of water, this section of the water supply line will not be shut down by the intelligent program of the water treatment plant.
As for electricity, the electricians among the survivors not only improved the simple solar panels set up by Sun Jiao, but also doubled the panels on the top of the building. Now the power generation in the base has reached 30KWh.
If you save a little, this 30KWh is enough to meet the electricity demand of the base for a day. The excess electricity is stored in K1-type energy-concentrating batteries the size of oil drums for use in the warehouse's refrigeration equipment at night.
On the other hand, due to the huge amount of supplies Jiang Chen brought last time, Sun Jiao instructed Lu Huasheng to rebuild two larger granaries in the backyard of the villa.
The granary is built according to the composite structure. The upper part stores non-perishable food, and a storage space is dug out of the ground, and insulation boards are attached around it to store food with a relatively low shelf life. There is a freezing device that was obtained from the trade with the Zhao Group in early August. Now when you go to the underground granary to get grain, you have to wear a thick cotton jacket to go in. The whole basement is as cold as a big freezer. These two granaries are also major power consumers of the base, and almost half of the power resources are allocated to maintain the operation of the refrigeration unit.
"How is the trade with the Zhao Group?" After listening to Sun Jiao's report, Jiang Chen asked the question he was most concerned about after pondering for a while.
"The trade volume in early August reached 100,000 sub-crystal points, which is basically the same as the previous trade volume. The exchanged materials are basically in short supply for base construction, such as refrigeration units, energy-gathering batteries and other application equipment, as well as arms supplies. There are special cement raw materials, steel and other building materials, and the trade surplus is 2310 sub-crystals." Sun Jiao took out a tablet, used her fingers to call up the ledger, and said to Jiang Chen professionally.
Unexpectedly, this little girl is quite suitable to be a housekeeper. Jiang Chen was slightly surprised, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He originally thought that this savage woman would only fight and kill, but he didn't expect to have such a careful side.
Yes, what he needs is capable people, and capable people.
"Yes, there is no need to save money in the construction of the base. Only by spending as much as possible can we maximize its value. At this stage, our base can't use high-end energy such as Yajing. What we need more is that we are still in the basic stage of construction. Those production equipment, construction materials, and life-saving weapons!" Jiang Chen nodded and praised.
At least as far as "setting" is concerned, he, the agent of the fish bone and food product company, is still taking the establishment of a "supply station" as his top priority. In the early stage, I didn’t buy many of these things, and in the later stage, it was a bit suspicious to find Zhao Chenwu to buy building materials.
You said that since you are trading with the survivor base outside the province, some things are inconvenient to be transported from the headquarters, and you need to buy them on the spot. Everyone can understand this. But just buying some raw materials such as steel and cement, and building houses and walls here all the time, is not justified, right?
If there is really any company headquartered in another province, you have to send some benefits back, right? If there is no other excuse, I am afraid that this problem is really not easy to muddle through. The ratio of the trade surplus has to be gradually increased to create the illusion of "transporting crystals from trade to the company headquarters". The "covenant" between him and Zhao Chenwu was originally based on a lie, so how to continue this lie is very critical.
After hearing Jiang Chen's praise, Sun Jiao was obviously in a good mood, then she smiled and continued, "On the other hand, the nearby survivor group noticed us and made tentative contact with us. "
"Survivor group?" Jiang Chen frowned.
"Yes. Unlike the large survivor bases in the urban area like the sixth block. The suburbs have relatively low environmental hazards and high post-war architectural integrity, so only a small number of survivors are required to unite to be able to Create a certain living space. There are a total of 57 community-level survivor groups known around our base, of which there are only two families in the small, and twenty or thirty families in the large. Of course, this is only a rough count. "
"Is it that much?" Jiang Chen looked at the screen of Sun Jiao's tablet, the red dots marked on it made his frown even deeper.
Survivor group...
If possible, he is reluctant to engage with them at this stage. Contact with those people is dangerous, at least until the base has a certain level of combat effectiveness.
There is no other reason. Jiang Chen's resources are too huge, and he has to beware of those strangers peeping at him. In the apocalypse, there is no law to speak of, a piece of bread can attract the most vicious people to hunt and kill, not to mention the dozens of tons of grain in the base.
Although the Zhao Group wouldn't draw Jiang Chen's attention, it was because he thought that this was just an outpost, and that the real food production company was a fish bone food product company thousands of miles away. If Zhao Chenwu really let that hero know that all the food was "changed" by Jiang Chen, it would be hard to say what would happen.
However, those ordinary survivors naturally don't understand the truth of killing chickens to get eggs. If they know that there is enough food for them to eat for several years, they will immediately pick up the guys and kill them. Don't look at some survivor groups who are usually friendly, and occasionally communicate with neighbors who have a good relationship. But if it involves the survival of food, all disguises will be removed, and there is not enough strength, only to face plunder.
Fortunately, the combat effectiveness of these survivor groups is only half a kilogram from Jiang Chen and the others. Everyone uses ordinary kinetic energy weapons, and there are no high-end things such as power armor, tank cannons, etc., so the people who come here these days are just testing. Sexual contact without showing any hostility.
After all, the survivors are also uncertain. What is the purpose of this group of people building such a large fortification here?
They are also wary of the "blame neighbor" who popped up on their doorstep.
In this regard, Sun Jiao naturally took some countermeasures.
For example, it is strictly forbidden for people in the base to eat outside the cafeteria, and it is strictly forbidden to make a fire outside the cafeteria. When eating in the cafeteria, the windows must be closed, so that peepers who may exist outside cannot find any clues that there is a large amount of food in the base. At the same time, Sun Jiao also clearly refused to the other survivors who requested to enter the base.
In what way do you approach those people? Everything has to wait until Jiang Chen returns before making a decision.
