11 o'clock sharp
On the edge of the constructed highway outside District 108 on the ground floor, a large number of people were quietly queuing up with large bags of leftover food, waiting for transactions.
The small market proposed by Lexiao has been completely established. Trading can be done on both sides of the road after 11 o'clock every night, but order must be observed. Many people in the barrier area have been working all day and are very tired.
With the money I have, I want to buy as much food as possible.
A lot of food is leftover from the shops on the ground floor. In the past, these foods would be sold cheaply, but if they cannot be sold, they can only be used for the production of biological nutrient solutions, or they can be purchased directly by people in liquid food factories.
But now all districts are advocating selling these foods to people working in the city in barrier areas, and many shop owners have responded. After all, they are edible foods, with just a lot of leftovers and leftovers, and they can still be sold at an affordable price.
, selling to people in barrier areas is of course the best choice.
Many people sold their food as soon as they went up, and happily collected the money and left. Among them were not only the businessmen, but also nearby residents who had some leftover food, rice, bread, etc., that day, or more.
The part that is exported is sold to people in the barrier area at a low price, which can make a good income for them.
In the past, people in the barrier areas who came to work in the city were provided with two meals a day, but now that is no longer provided. They can use the money they earn to buy everything they need.
There are many people at the bottom who have seen business opportunities. More and more bottom residents are applying for some stalls. New stalls appear every day. People in the barrier areas basically have endless needs for food and supplies.
.
Trucks started to move after being filled with people. Some people in the barrier area needed to return to the bases under construction in the barrier area to sleep, and only some of them could stay in the city.
Many reporters are reporting on this small trading market. Although the transaction amount is not large, only a few yuan at most at a time, and most of the time it is less than one yuan. But now this kind of transaction is getting bigger and bigger, some have seen
Merchants who had business opportunities also began to take over many of the products in stock that had been eliminated.
In particular, a photovoltaic product that was very popular on the ground floor in the past, the heater is very popular. The price is only 30 yuan each. It only needs to be placed in a place where the sun can shine. After leaving it for a period of time, it can be placed in the room to keep warm at cold nights.
Now the wages of people from the barrier zone who have entered the city to work have also increased by a few yuan after the food supply was cancelled. This is already a very good treatment for them.
At this time, a truck slowly drove over, and many people saw the mutated people of the Lightning Skull Guild. They all looked extremely tired and gray-headed. They got off the truck directly and passed through the queue of people.
"I'm so exhausted."
Xiong Dabiao muttered, and Olivia smiled.
"You haven't worked so hard in a long time."
Eric glanced around and felt that the situation had changed. In just a few days, this small trading market for people in the barrier area no longer looked as cold as before, and both buyers and sellers were very enthusiastic.
, all bargaining.
"That little girl did really well."
Xiong Dabiao praised Le Xiao, and he quickly took people to a tavern on a nearby street.
"The boss will bring out delicious food and drinks."
More than 30 people in their group immediately filled the tavern. The boss smiled and asked about the agricultural base in the barrier area. Just as Xiong Dabiao was about to say something, Olivia stopped him because she noticed some reporters nearby.
The construction facilities in the barrier area are still not ideal. The windbreak wall is still under construction, but some problems will appear after a day of construction. We can only bite the bullet and build the windbreak wall first, and then start building the buildings.
If the current situation were reported, it would cause problems in the city.
"Everything went well."
After Olivia responded directly, she glanced at some reporters who ran in.
"What a crap interview, I'm so hungry that I'm dizzy."
Xiong Dabiao yelled angrily, and the reporters left in a sensible manner.
The most important issue now is to urgently recruit a group of construction workers, but now that the ground floor is under construction, many skilled workers have gone to the construction site, and most workers are unwilling to go to the barrier area. After all, it is too difficult to work in that environment.
.
The group of workers we found earlier have gone back, and many have fallen ill. Even though the wages for working in the barrier zone are higher than those in the city, few workers are now willing to work in the barrier zone.
Olivia looked at these reporters with some annoyance, because these reporters made a fuss out of a molehill, interviewed those sick workers, and expanded the matter. According to the homework records during this period, Section 4 has given a clear explanation
Many workers can fully adapt to the physical function problems that occur in severe cold if they only require scientific shift management.
"What should I do, President?"
Eric tiredly took a glass of beer and drank it in one gulp.
"Who knows, you guys can go back to your homework later, while Olivia and I run around and watch."
There is no other way now. The entire agricultural base is extremely short of manpower. Even people from Section 12 and Section 3 are helping, but they are not workers and cannot participate in the construction operations.
Although some staff tried to help, they often messed up. In such a harsh construction environment, professional workers are needed.
"We can't delay it any longer Dabiao. Even if we force it, we have to get a group of workers to go there. After all, if we delay it for one day, the situation of the entire base will be worse."
After all, you have to work against the wind and sand at a speed of 70 to 80 kilometers every day, which is not something ordinary people can do.
Of course, Xiong Dabiao also knew that the current construction was getting more and more difficult. Unless the sunlight could reach the agricultural base, the wind and sand would fade away after a while, but obviously this was impossible.
Although Section 10 has come up with some relatively high-performance machinery, in many cases in the wind and sand, some delicate operations can only be done by manpower.
"Don't think so much now, let's finish eating and drinking first."
At this time, a phone call came. Olivia was a little confused and glanced at it. It was Hima, the secretary of Section 3.
"Is something wrong, Secretary Xima?"
"Where are you now?"
Olivia became confused, and Xima explained the situation. Angus and his wife planned to go to the barrier area again, hoping that they could help protect it, because there were many things going on in Section 3, and it was temporarily impossible to allocate capable manpower to protect it.
Olivia agreed. After all, the Angus family was the largest investor in the construction of this agricultural base. Xiong Dabiao became very angry when he heard about it.
"At this juncture, really, there is nothing good to see."
"We'd better cancel tonight's meeting."
Xiong Dabiao's teeth were itching, and soon after eating, the local officer from Section 5 found them and said that the Angus family had brought many engineers waiting at the southern guard station and told them to hurry up.
In desperation, Xiong Dabiao and the others could only run and jump quickly, and arrived at the southern guard station in a few minutes.
Xiong Dabiao was stunned when he met him. Angus and his wife brought more than 200 Angus engineers from many fields.
"What is this for?"
Avano laughed.
"Only at night will the wind lessen and we can actually see something."
Then everyone got on the lift and headed to the barrier area. When they arrived near the base, they could hear a lot of talking and laughing. Many houses built on the leeward side had been connected together, and they looked more consolidated than before.
Some.
"First we have to solve the problem of electric energy."
Avano spoke as soon as he got out of the lift. Xiong Dabiao nodded. Electricity is indeed a problem. There is indeed a problem with the power supply here. Although there are currently plans to release a cable from the city, many plans have been studied but are not feasible for the time being.
, can only use bacterial batteries to generate electricity.
The biggest problem with bacterial battery power generation is that it is slow and requires frequent addition of culture fluid. Also, due to the harsh environment, the external structure of the battery often needs to be inspected to avoid leakage problems.
"Do you have a plan?"
Xiong Dabiao asked, in fact, if electric energy can be supplied, they can invest in more machinery and be more efficient, but electric energy is always a big problem.
"What do you think about using this wind to your advantage, Dabiao?"
Xiong Dabiao groaned. At this time, an engineer from the Angus family took out a design drawing. Everyone present was stunned when they saw it. This strange-shaped machine composed of many fans looked very huge.
Fans all come in different sizes.
An engineer explained that this type of power-generating fan is not a traditional direct-facing fan, but is designed to collect wind power to the greatest extent and prevent strong winds from causing excessive damage to the machinery.
The wind blowing over will be divided by many fans of different shapes on the front, and then poured into other models of fans. All fans have small motors, and when the fans rotate, they will continuously generate electricity.
"The purpose of our visit today is for installation and actual testing tomorrow."
Xiong Dabiao nodded thoughtfully, and soon the engineers of the Angus family took action. Xiong Dabiao immediately arranged for people to help. The nearby department staff also came to help, and some people from the barrier area also came from the house.
Out.
A wind turbine nearly 10 meters high, 8 meters in diameter, with dense fans was installed. Everyone looked at this strange-shaped thing and felt surprised.
"This is actually an idea I had when I was young, and it has been tested. At that time, I thought that the barrier area was such a good place, why not install a lot of wind turbines, which can provide a lot of electricity to the city. But Mr. Jean once
He took me to the barrier area to see it once, and I knew why I couldn’t pretend.”
