Chapter 69: Showing Off Muscles
December 30, Ice Age Year.
Half a year has passed since the last war.
Chu Feng's private shelter, Xingchen Underground City held its first year-end work summary meeting.
9 o'clock in the morning.
After Chu Feng's concise opening remarks, each department began to report on their work.
Xiao Hui, the head of the administrative department and Chu Feng's mother-in-law, spoke first:
"City Lord, colleagues, as of now, our Xingchen Base has a total of 20,000 households and 101,345 people."
"Among them, young and middle-aged people account for 65%, the elderly over 60 years old account for 20%, and infants and young children account for 15% of the total population."
"Our current population has barely reached the scale of a county-level shelter."
"Although the population is large, our Xingchen Base has completed the construction of 21 large dormitory areas, each of which can accommodate at least 10,000 people. The current occupancy rate is 46%, and we can continue to recruit 100,000 people from outside."
"According to the latest statistics from Tiangong, since the implementation of the half-day work system, the employment rate of the base has remained 100%, and even an 80-year-old grandfather has a job suitable for him. Except for students, there is no idle person in the base."
"Overall, our Xingchen Shelter is more than self-sufficient, but it is restricted by basic raw materials and other materials and cannot be supplied to the outside world."
Then Li Dahai, the head of the trade department, stood up.
"Report to the city lord, in the past six months, with the help of heat pumps, snow dragon cold-proof clothing and other materials, our trade department has mainly exchanged various types of machine tools, rare materials and a large amount of low-quality food."
"Second, the material collection department has swept the scrap iron and building materials in the surrounding urban areas. Due to the extremely cold climate and fuel shortages, it has to be suspended for the time being."
When Li Dahai sat down, the head of the industrial department stood up immediately.
"City lord, and colleagues, our Xingchen base industrial zone currently has various types of production equipment, which can produce various types of living materials such as clothing, food, housing, and transportation. With the current material reserves, our factory can fully guarantee the living material needs of 200,000 people."
"Yes."
Chu Feng nodded, he knew the situation of the factory very well.
In the past six months, Xingchen Shelter has completed the heat pump orders of 13 provincial shelters and three super shelters.
A full 150 heat pumps were exchanged for all the factory equipment.
With a little modification of these equipment, plus the full set of chip production lines that Chu Feng had exchanged earlier, they are enough to produce high-tech items such as mobile phones and small drones.
These information flashed in his mind, and Chu Feng said in a deep voice: "Continue!"
Then, Li Wanrou, the head of the Ministry of Agriculture, stood up and reported:
"At present, our Ministry of Agriculture has 700,000 square meters of vegetable planting bases, 200,000 square meters of rice planting bases and 100,000 square meters of various fruit planting bases."
"20 million catties of grain can be harvested every month, enough to feed 200,000 to 300,000 people."
"If it is matched with low-quality food such as cockroach cream, without increasing the agricultural planting area, the Xingchen base can more than feed 500,000 people."
Listening to his wife's excited report, Chu Feng's mouth twitched a few times.
My heart hurt instantly.
But he didn't say much, and continued to listen to the reports of other departments.
"At present, the largest electricity consumer in our Xingchen Base is the grain planting base, which accounts for 50% of the total electricity consumption, industrial electricity consumption consumes 30%, and household electricity accounts for 20%."
"However, since the beginning of this month, my power department has a nuclear fusion power station, and the base does not need to worry about electricity consumption."
Chu Feng was not surprised at all.
You know, this is a nuclear fusion reactor, and its power generation is far greater than nuclear fission, especially the product is pollution-free and non-radioactive.
This is also the only good thing Chu Feng has drawn from the big gift package in the past 8 months.
The others are either nail clippers, inflatable dolls, or even a bloody steamed bun...
The gift packages in the past few months were all these, which made Chu Feng very angry.
It was at the beginning of this month that Chu Feng was lucky enough to draw a small nuclear fusion power station.
And because the power has been greatly improved, Chu Feng changed his steady and cautious style of recruiting only 1,000 people per month and started a ***-style expansion in December.
You should know that in the first seven months, by the end of November, there were only more than 10,000 people in the Star Shelter.
In mid-December, in less than half a month, it rapidly expanded 10 times to 100,000 people.
Of course, if Chu Feng could not distinguish the friendliness, he would not dare to start such a barbaric expansion.
The doomsday has happened for a full year.
As the external environment is getting worse and worse, all the people are trapped in the shelter.
The current village-level shelters are basically extinct.
The town-level shelters that accept so many rural people are also in a worrying situation, and are even on the verge of collapse.
Like an expanding bubble, it may burst at any time.
Especially in the depressing environment of the shelter, most people only eat relief food every day, just a meal of cockroach cream.
No job.
No source of income.
Nothing.
Crowded in a dark space of less than 2 square meters per person all day long.
Anyone with a low mental tolerance will be more or less abnormal in their hearts.
Chu Feng didn't dare to touch someone who was on the verge of madness.
If not, a riot could break out in the shelter at any time.
And this kind of thing has happened in the past six months.
Quite the opposite.
The situation is getting worse and worse, and the fire has even reached county-level shelters.
Therefore, whether it is for self-protection or to reduce official pressure.
Chu Feng is doing his best to carry out rescue.
After coming back to his senses, Chu Feng did not forget to remind him.
"Although we have nuclear power plants and we don't have to worry about power problems for the time being, the power department still needs to make overall arrangements for the power consumption of various departments."
"We must not waste electricity. After all, our nuclear fuel is only one pound of helium 3, and the total power generation capacity is only 10 megawatts. It can only supply a megacity with a population of tens of millions like Shanghai for one year. That’s all.”
"Yes, City Lord! Our power department must control the power supply and resolutely prevent waste!"
Finally, father-in-law Li Dazhuang stood up and said in a deep voice:
"Report to the city lord!"
"At present, the armed forces of our Star Base can be divided into three major sections after integration."
"First, the external security armed force, the Star Security Bureau, is equipped with electromagnetic rifles, etc., with a total of 1,000 people. They are mainly responsible for the shelter security system and the travel of the protection material collection department and the trade department."
"Second, the anti-corruption bureau is equipped with a small number of gunpowder weapons, pistols, etc., with a total of 1,200 people. It mainly maintains public order in the shelter and cracks down on illegal and criminal activities."
"Third, the special inspection brigade has no weapons and a total of 500 elderly people. It is mainly responsible for patrolling the streets and ensuring the clean environment."
"As of yesterday, personnel for various positions have been recruited, and the new security team members are also undergoing emergency training."
Chu Feng attaches great importance to armed forces.
Although subject to official restrictions, only 1,000 people were actually armed.
However, most of the people recruited are veterans with good military qualities. The shelter also implements militarized management.
And, if the situation is urgent.
Then the 1,200 people from the Anti-Corruption Bureau will be completely armed and quickly transformed into a security force.
It can even be said that this is the army.
Only the protector of the star sanctuary.
Although the loyalty of the security personnel recruited was above 80, Chu Feng still did not forget to explain.
"Minister Li, besides training, you must not forget the ideological construction of security personnel. Guarding the Star Base is their first principle."
"Yes, City Lord."
"All publicity groups must effectively strengthen their propaganda of loyalty to the city lord and loyalty to the Star Base!"
After knowing that his father-in-law understood what he meant, Chu Feng said nothing more.
As for the armed forces of the sanctuary, this is all that can be done now.
Moreover, this is only the armed force on the surface.
Secretly, not to mention the sharp weapon Mark Mecha.
Within 10 kilometers of the shelter, Chu Feng has deployed a lot of heavy weapons, all of which are controlled by Tiangong.
The reason why Chu Feng dared to throw off his arms and expand his recruitment to the outside world was his confidence.
Otherwise, he is just a fat sheep, and Chu Feng would not dare to walk around like this.
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, after making plans for the next year, the entire meeting came to an end.
