There was a rumble of trucks, and thirty trucks with a load of 100 tons slowly stopped 13 kilometers south of the southern guard station. A large number of residents of the barrier area who had been waiting for a long time gathered around.
The director of Section 12 jumped on the head of the car, turned on the loudspeaker equipment and shouted.
"Don't be crowded, line up, and all the tools are in the car. At present, we can only provide you with two meals and drinking water. In a few days, those who are in better health can go to work at the edge of the city for 30 yuan a day.
Salary, breakfast, lunch and dinner, you can start registration after the end of today, just a simple registration is required."
The crowd cheered. They had been waiting for this day for too long. People were coming from far away one after another. Some of them were members of the original gang. Many gang members had already agreed to the business department and would disband on the spot once the plan started.
.
Section 12 has begun to directly implement the soil pulling plan. It will pull the soil from the barrier area to the southeastern area of ​​​​the city, and then establish a soil cultivation base near the southeastern part of the east. The sunshine is very sufficient, especially close to the eastern agricultural base.
of those places.
It can only be done by manpower. Ye Chunwang is sitting in the No. 1 truck, looking at the people lined up near the truck below, waiting to get tools. People from Section 3 are handing out excavation tools, and people from Section 12 are still waiting.
The densely packed areas mark the excavation sites.
If the sun directly shines on the barrier area, the degree of sudden recovery will be a problem, which will greatly waste resources. Adopting such a manpower method can save too many resources. Establish an agricultural base first, and then stabilize and mature it.
If so, this plan will be easy to launch.
At present, this plan is only an individual intra-department experimental plan for 12 departments, and is not a formal bill to establish an agricultural base in the barrier zone. After all, this bill has not been submitted yet, nor has it passed Congress.
If it cannot be passed, a large amount of funds will not be allocated, and the whole city cannot be mobilized in an orderly manner. The question Ye Chunwang is thinking about now is how to get the plan passed.
In the high-level meeting of the Executive Branch last night, councilors still had objections to this plan. After all, the risk of this plan is indeed too high. If there is no output in a short period of time, this plan will slowly drag the city into the abyss.
in.
It is appropriate to be cautious, not because this plan can bring great vitality to the city, so as long as everyone agrees to start it immediately, it will definitely be fine.
In reality, the difficulties he would encounter were far more than what he faced now. Ye Chunwang still rejected the council members' proposal and used unknown cold-resistant crops cultivated by AI to plant them. This was an extremely irresponsible approach to the people of the city.
The biggest risk is that there will not be enough output within a few years. If the plan has reached a certain point, if investment is given up, everything invested in the past will be wiped out. If investment continues, the whole city will inevitably be dragged down.
After much deliberation, a successful agricultural base must be established, so Ye Chunwang adopted this method. At least people in the city must see all aspects of the base after it is established, so that this can be used as a breakthrough to let people
The whole city is in motion.
In addition, the construction of the waste treatment plant in the gully area has just begun. The waste treatment plant must be established first.
The person who got the excavation tools moved towards the people in Section 12. Seeing the enthusiasm of the people in the barrier area, Ye Chunwang did not want to live up to their expectations. The establishment of this base must be successful.
Ye Chunwang plans to dig out some soil in the planting area and transport it to the southeast of the city for soil recovery experiments.
Insulation sheds will be built directly in the hollowed-out areas, and a small rest area will be built around these sheds, so that the bases can be slowly connected, and the outer buildings can provide space for this still in the wind and sand.
The agricultural base plan in the belly is protected.
Ye Chunwang of the housing project had already talked to Xiong Dabiao and Olivia when he returned to Section 12 last night. They used to be a very good mutant construction company with very high efficiency and speed. Xiong Dabiao had already agreed.
Depending on the nearby wind speed and landform conditions, a large number of six-story apartment buildings will be built nearby. Each room is 40 to 50 square meters, and can accommodate more than ten people. At least these people who work in the nearby barrier area can have a living.
A place to take shelter from wind and rain.
They have lived in the wind and sand for too long. If they want the base establishment to be carried out steadily and efficiently, the personnel and logistics facilities for building the base must be well guaranteed.
Ye Chunwang's plan is that this base can accommodate at least 300,000 people. Xiong Dabiao and Olivia have already left Section 12, and they will find ways to solve the problem of building houses in such windy sand.
Today's construction technology is very mature. It is very easy for four or five experienced people to build a 5-story small apartment building of 120 to 150 square meters in one day, especially with excellent mutant construction.
Ye Chunwang planned to wait for Xiong Dabiao and the others to solve the construction problems, and then start recruiting some experienced mutant workers in the city, so that a large block could be formed nearby in a short time.
The Angus family can ensure water and electricity, and will send outstanding engineers from the family to help build water and electricity when the plan is implemented.
Ye Chunwang has asked the Phoebus family to help and is producing some transportation vehicles, which can carry 10 tons. It will be more convenient to transport people in the barrier area to and from the city and the barrier area, and it will also be convenient to transport some needed tools and goods.
Fortunately, the Phoebus family has not given up on the research and development of automobile technology in recent years, which makes Ye Chunwang feel overjoyed.
The air-mass energy engine built by the Phoebes family now uses a new type of alloy, which can provide powerful kinetic energy for the car. It only needs air.
"Okay, let's go."
As Ye Chunwang said, the clerk next to him drove the truck to a marked place and stopped. The truck's cargo pocket began to slowly move back and down. Immediately, the people in the barrier area started digging with excavation tools.
.
The people in Section 12 told them from the beginning that as long as the soil and stones are cleared aside, these stones can be used as building materials. They only need to bring the stone crusher and the stones can be turned into powder in no time.
The sound of ding-ding-dong-dong started, and the ground was knocked. Ye Chunwang smiled happily. Some younger children were carrying stones. This method was too clumsy. In today's world with such high technology, such a
The human method is simply too clumsy.
But now there is nothing that can be done. Ye Chunwang couldn't help but think of the past when the agricultural bases in the east were dug out by manpower, and machinery was rarely used.
At this moment, an old man came over. He didn't receive the tools. It seemed that he was suffering from some physical illness and couldn't work anymore. He came to the front of the car door and wandered around, but he still bent down to help pick up the stones.
"Is something wrong, sir?"
"Sir, can I ask you something?"
The old man looked very embarrassed, and Ye Chunwang jumped out of the truck.
"this!"
The old man took out a document from his pocket. The outer shell was completely hardened, but under the light it could be clearly seen that it was a pioneer's ID. Ye Chunwang was a little surprised.
"Fifty years have passed."
The old man hummed.
"Have you participated in the Pioneer Project?"
The old man nodded and started talking. Fifty years ago, he was a member of the establishment of an agricultural base in the barrier area. At that time, he desperately devoted himself to the pioneer plan, enduring fatigue and working day after day, until this
When the plan failed, he lost everything.
Ye Chunwang sighed. The plan back then was not yet mature, so it failed in an instant under the attack of the armed forces in the barrier area.
This incident also caused an uproar in the city. The efforts of hundreds of thousands of people for more than a year came to nothing, and in the end nothing promised to these pioneers could be fulfilled.
They earn the lowest wages and work in the harshest environment, and many suffer from physical problems in just a few months.
It was during this plan that the old man in front of him injured his body. As a result, when he returned to the city, the money he earned was not enough to see a doctor. Since then, his health has not been good, and he finally embarked on the path of a criminal, and was later arrested.
Expelled back to the barrier zone.
"Do you have any requests?"
The old man wiped his tears and kept shaking his head.
"Can I exchange this for liquid food for a month?"
Ye Chunwang stared blankly at the old man in front of him, looking at this pioneer certificate. Although Section 12 later gave each of these people compensation ranging from 3,000 to 10,000 for lost work, it was only a drop in the bucket for them.
These people experienced a night when their great hopes were shattered, and finally drowned in the city.
"Come here, give him two boxes of liquid food."
The old man kept saying thank you, and then said that although it was difficult for him to walk, he could still pick up a few stones, and he would come over to help when he returned.
Ye Chunwang nodded and looked at the pioneer certificate in his hand. He felt deeply remorseful. Many people who participated in the pioneer plan fifty years ago are still alive, but many of them are already old. This plan
For them, it may be an irreparable regret in their lives.
“The promise still stands!”
Ye Chunwang said something, and for a moment the old man looked at Ye Chunwang in surprise.
"No need, sir, we..."
"This is what you should get. It belongs to you originally. Don't worry. We will come up with corresponding compensation measures in the future. Everything that happened fifty years ago was not a failure, but just laid a solid foundation for the current plan.
.”
Ye Chunwang put away this pioneer's certificate. If it weren't for the data collection fifty years ago, it would be impossible for such a plan to be launched so quickly in such a short period of time.
Because this frozen land was still the same as it was 50 years ago, a large truck came over, carrying an oversized bacterial battery with a large number of charging ports for electric digging tools.
All electric excavation tools have a high-frequency vibration function at the front end. This is why Ye Chunwang asked a team from Section 10 to develop this kind of excavation tool that can break through the hard ground in the barrier area after his failure 50 years ago.
The hard soil cracked under the high-frequency vibration of the front end of the electric excavation tool, and excavation became much easier. In just a short time, a lot of soil was loaded into the No. 1 truck.
The efficiency of the excavation was very high. Car No. 2 also started. Strong men were responsible for digging, while children, women and old men were responsible for carrying soil.
At this time, several large lifts came over here. Ye Chunwang smiled slightly. After the lifts landed, the members of Section 3 carrying tools came over one by one.
