Chapter 62 Construction of the Base
The little thoughts between those strange women naturally have nothing to do with Jiang Chen.
After getting a taxi, he went straight back to the Seven Days Hotel.
Aisha was studying Chinese hard at this time. After seeing Jiang Chen back, a slightly shy smile appeared on her originally cold face.
It looks like a newlywed wife.
However, this smile really made him feel a little overwhelmed because the guilt was so overwhelming!
Although Jiang Chen hasn't married her or anything, he always feels like a cheating husband, and when he comes home, he faces a gentle and considerate wife.
......Why do you still need to restrain yourself in the future? There seems to be a little too much on the plate.
He smiled in a panic, and then he took Aisha to a nearby restaurant and had a sumptuous dinner without pork. He still had a good impression of this helpless girl. He had bad thoughts such as taking care of her body and taking it away.
Yes, there are.
However, it is not a big deal to be immersed in the land of gentleness all day long. He hasn't returned to the end of the world for a while and he is also very worried.
No words all night.
When they got up the next morning, Jiang Chen watched Aisha go to the language class with her bag, and left a few red tickets and a note on the table with [If I don’t come back, don’t wait for me to have a meal]. Then he left the hotel and found a corner where no one and cameras traveled back to the end of the world.

"You are finally back. Which girl did you sleep with last night?" Sun Jiao smiled and held her hands in her chest and looked at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen smiled embarrassedly, quietly changed the topic, and began to ask about the situation of the base construction.
Although Sun Jiao was very naughty, she could still tell the difference between the primary and secondary. She took a deep breath and left unrelated issues and complaints behind her. Sun Jiao began to tell Jiang Chen about the recent situation of the base.
First of all, it is the construction of infrastructure.
The fence of the base has successfully advanced 200 meters towards the entrance of the sewer, and about two open spaces of football fields (about 20 acres) were opened. The wooden villas in the middle that were in a semi-destroyed state were flattened by the survivors, but the foundation under them can be used directly. As for the electrical appliances in the small villas, the furniture has been moved to the open space. If it is repaired well, use it, and if it is not repaired well, it will be dismantled into parts.
Lu Huasheng, chief architect of the base, directed several construction teams to rebuilt four more recommended dormitories on the ready-made foundation. Each of this three-story simple dormitories can accommodate 30 residents. As for why four buildings were built, it was naturally under the instruction of Jiang Chen to prepare for recruiting people in the future.
One of the buildings has been basically completed and moved in, and the remaining three are under construction.
In addition, the three-story hardened cement tower was also built on four corners of the base. Two villa backyards and two in front of the newly developed land. A light machine gun was installed on the watchtower and a layer of camouflage net was simply covered with, and a person was arranged in each tower to stand guard.
Because the location here is remote and the danger of zombies is not high, walking more than ten kilometers towards the sixth block, it will only lead to difficult alien species within the city. Therefore, the targets that the Fish Bone Survivor Base need to be guarded against are other survivors with ulterior motives. However, most survivors usually walk around when they see the walls and machine guns.
Two months later, the sentry machine guns should be replaced here. Jiang Chen has placed an order with Zhao Chenwu's military factory. Four sentry machine guns, each with a unit price of 3,000 sub-crystals, can laser-guided shooting and can automatically identify heat source signals. This type of purely hand-made high-tech thing is generally more expensive, and the output is extremely low. After all, some parts can only be recycled by scrap or modified by other parts.
In addition to these defense equipment, Lu Huasheng also built a simple community center in the middle of this newly expanded area in accordance with Jiang Chen's instructions.
At present, the main function of this community center is to serve as a canteen and conference room. Currently, only one floor has been built, and the plan is to build three floors high.
Thankfully, Wanghai City's fully automated water treatment device makes the base not worry about drinking water. Water pipes made of polyethylene can be easily connected to the city's water supply system. As long as there is no accident of large amounts of water outflow, this section of the water supply line will not be shut down by the intelligent program of the water treatment plant.
As for power, the electricians among the survivors not only improved the simple solar power panels set up by Sun Jiao, but also doubled the power panels on the top of the building. Now the power generation in the base has reached 30KWh.
If you save some use, this 30KWh is enough to meet the base's daily electricity demand. The excess power is stored in a K1-type energy-concentrating battery as small as an oil barrel for use in the warehouse's refrigeration equipment at night.
On the other hand, due to the huge amount of supplies that 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 a composite structure. The upper part stores food that is not easy to deteriorate. A storage space is dug out from the ground and insulation boards are pasted around it to store food with relatively low shelf life. It is equipped with a freezer device obtained from trading 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. The entire basement is as cold as a large freezer. These two granaries are also large power-consuming users of the base, and basically most of the power resources are allocated to maintain the operation of the refrigeration device.
"How is the trade with the Zhao Group?" After listening to Sun Jiao's report, after pondering for a while, Jiang Chen asked this question he was most concerned about.
"The trade volume in early August reached a point of 100,000 sub-crystals, which was basically the same as the last trade volume. The materials exchanged were basically in short supply of base construction, such as refrigeration devices, energy-concentrating batteries and other application equipment, as well as arms materials, special cement raw materials, steel and other building materials. The trade surplus was 2,310 sub-crystals." Sun Jiao took out a flat plate, used her finger to call out the account book, and said to Jiang Chen very professionally.
Unexpectedly, this girl was quite suitable for being a housekeeper. Jiang Chen was slightly surprised and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He originally thought that this savage woman could only fight and kill, but he didn't expect that she would have such a careful side.
Yes, all he needs is capable people and capable people.
"Yes, there is no need to save the construction of the base. Only by spending as much as possible can the maximum value of the base. At this stage, our base cannot use high-end energy such as the base. What we need more is the production equipment, construction materials, and life-saving weapons!" Jiang Chen nodded and praised.
At least in terms of "setting", he, the agent of the fish bone grain product company, currently has the priority to establish a "supply station". He didn't buy more of these things in the early stage, and it was a bit suspicious to ask Zhao Chenwu to buy building materials later.
You said that since you are trading with survivor bases outside the province, some things are inconvenient to transport 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, it is unreasonable to build houses and walls here all the time, right?
If there is really a company headquartered in another province, you have to transfer some benefits back? If you don’t find any other excuses, this problem is really not easy to get over. The proportion of trade surplus has to gradually increase to create the illusion of "transferring trade-in crystals to the company headquarters". His "covenant" with Zhao Chenwu was originally based on lies, so how to continue to reconcile this lie is very critical.
After hearing Jiang Chen's praise, Sun Jiao obviously became in a good mood. She immediately smiled and continued: "On the other hand, the nearby survivor group noticed us and tentatively contacted us."
"Survivor Group?" Jiang Chen frowned.
"Yes. Unlike the large survivor bases in the urban area of the Sixth Block. Because the environmental danger level in the suburbs is relatively low and the building integrity after the war is high, only a small number of survivors can be united to open up a certain amount of living space. There are currently 57 community-level survivor groups around our base, of which only two families are small and twenty or thirty families are large. Of course, this is just a rough statistics."
"Are so many?" Jiang Chen looked at the screen of the tablet in Sun Jiao's hand. The red dots marked on it made his brow frown even deeper.
Survivor Group...
If possible, he is unwilling to contact them at this stage. At least until the base has a certain degree of combat effectiveness, it is very dangerous to contact those people.
The reason is that Jiang Chen’s resources are too huge, and he has to be wary of the strangers’ gaze. In the end of the world, there is no law at all. A piece of bread can attract the pursuit of the extremely vicious people, not to mention the dozens of tons of food in the base.
Although the Zhao Group would not attract Jiang Chen's attention, it was because he thought this was just an outpost, and the real food production was a fish bone grain product company that was thousands of miles away. If the hero Zhao Chenwu really knew that all the food was "transformed" by Jiang Chen, it would be hard to say what would happen.
However, ordinary survivors naturally don’t understand the principle of killing chickens or not getting eggs. If they know that there is enough food they have eaten for several years, they will immediately pick up the guys and kill them. Although some survivor groups are usually very kind, they will occasionally communicate with neighbors with good relationships. But once food is involved, all disguises will be removed, and they do not have enough power to face the plunder.
Fortunately, the combat effectiveness of these survivor groups is only half a pound of Jiang Chen and the others. Everyone uses ordinary kinetic energy weapons, but they do not have high-end things such as power armor, tanks and cannons. So the people who have been wandering through these days are just tentative contacts and do not show any hostility.
After all, those survivors are not sure. Why is this group of people building such a large fortification here?
They were also wary of the "strange neighbor" that suddenly appeared at 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 canteen, and it is strictly forbidden to make fires outside the canteen. When eating, the windows must be closed, so that possible peepers outside cannot find clues about a large amount of food in any base. At the same time, Sun Jiao also clearly expressed her rejection of other survivors requesting to enter the base.
