"Look, this is the Red Mansion, and the gate for the exit of the cave is here, hidden in a very inconspicuous place under the hillside.

Three hundred years after the Old World, it was also an overgrown wilderness, and now, it is completely obscured by a grove of groves and dense artemisia grass. ”

Hou Xianglin paused after speaking, and saw that everyone was listening attentively, so he continued to explain to everyone on the map:

"Although there are half-human-high artemisia grass and woods outside the cave gate to block the view, in fact, from the outside of the cave gate to the sea, there is a flat lowland, except for the sandy land and mangrove forests near the coastline, in general, the soil is very fertile, the water source is abundant, it is very suitable for cultivating vegetables and establishing breeding farms, so Wang Zhu and the two uncles are ready to put the vegetable garden and a temporary farm here."

Hou Xianglin said and vigorously clicked on a certain place on the map and said:

"Now it's important! Please note that here, out of the cave gate, four hundred meters away on the right is the Moon River, on the left is a small gentle slope that extends to the gate of our Red Mansion, about a kilometer ahead, there is a stream from east to west, the amount of water is very small, although it can not be used to generate electricity, but it can be used as a water source for the farm and a natural isolation barrier.

Therefore, our plan is this, starting from the entrance of the cave, using a bulldozer to push out a rectangular open area about thirty to sixty meters wide, which will be our foothold outside the cave, and this open field will extend south until we reach the creek.

After the completion of this project, two narrower separation belts will be opened to the west, and directly to the water on the east bank of the Moon River, obviously, the Moon River is also a natural barrier, so that we can set fire to the west, north and south sides of the open land, and then the mosquitoes on this ground will either be burned to death or driven into the Moon River to drown, completely purifying the plot! ”

Hou Xianglin slapped the map vigorously when he said this, and said loudly.

"Good plan!"

"Using the banks of the Moon River also saves the workload of opening the isolation zone, which is possible."

"Ruthless!"

"Brother Hou is a ruthless person, and the mosquitoes there will face extinction!"

"It's cool to think about that scene."

Since there was no objection in the crowd, Hou Xianglin began to introduce the following content:

"Well, pay attention here, the east side of the open field will not move for the time being, lest the wind go in the wrong direction and let this fire go east and burn to the Red Mansion.

Of course, sooner or later, the east side of the open field will also burn, but we will have to wait until we open a fire barrier to protect the Red Mansion in the next step.

Okay, now, let's talk about the construction of vegetable gardens and farms. ”

After Hou Xianglin finished speaking, he gave up the explanation position in front of the map. So Lao Wang spoke first:

"Okay, Lao Zhu and I have discussed in advance, the vegetable garden and the farm are two next door, the vegetable garden and the farm will be separated by a planned canal, divided into two plots, adding up to about 400 meters long from north to south, 200 meters wide from east to west, with a total area of about 120 acres.

My vegetable garden is located here from the gate of the cave to the east bank of the Moon River, an area of about 60 acres, which is very convenient for water and relatively fertile. Lao Zhu's farm is adjacent to the vegetable garden, from the south of the vegetable garden to the southernmost east-west stream.

The whole plot is facing the gate of the cave, and there is water on both sides, there are soil slopes on both sides, and the blocking is also relatively good, which is suitable for vegetable gardens and temporary farms, and the vegetable field watering and drinking water for livestock are also easy to draw.

As for the specific construction plan of the vegetable garden and breeding farm, including the internal roads, housing facilities, etc., we need to wait until the burning is completed, Lao Zhu and I already have a ready-made plan, and we only need to provide us with some building materials when the time comes, oh, of course, we also need to help.

Okay, I'm done talking, what does Lao Zhu have to add? ”

"I only have one addition, after the burned land is opened, the animals in the cave must be pulled out to bask in the sun as soon as possible, otherwise, many animals may get sick. That's all for later. ”

Lao Zhu finished his speech after saying two simple words, and then motioned for Hou Xianglin to continue speaking.

"Okay, now let's talk about another big project of this project--- road."

At this time, Hou Xianglin had an extra pencil in his hand, and he lowered his head and drew on the map while explaining to everyone:

"On the side of the open land I just mentioned, I want to build another road by the way, which is initially set to be six meters wide, and this road will be extended all the way to the red pier ten kilometers away, and the main road is a tamped dirt road for the time being, and I don't plan to use the cement in the cave at the beginning, in my plan, on the side of this six-meter-wide dirt road, I will pile up a ridge higher than the ground, and tamp it to form a roadbed, because this will be our railway roadbed in the near future.

By the way, Chengdong, you come and see here, from the cave to the Red Wharf, this route Cao Limei has also explored in advance, starting from the cave gate to the south, and then turning southeast, along the coastline to the east, directly to the Red Wharf.

In addition, taking into account the requirements of railway construction, the terrain of the roadbed should not rise or fall by more than three degrees.

This dirt road is on the east side of the farm and the garden, and not only serves as an embankment between the garden and the farm, but also serves as a safe passage to connect the garden to the farm. ”

At this time, Cheng Dong came over and glanced at the map, and then nodded and said:

"I would like to remind you that there should be barriers such as earthen walls or earthen ditches on both sides of the road, so this should also be built in conjunction with fire barriers."

"Well, Cheng Dong is right."

Hou Xianglin took over the conversation and continued to explain:

"Now let's talk about the problem of fire barriers, or arson barriers, in short, it is a passage that clears the ground weeds and vegetation, obviously, the separation zone that is going to build railways and roads is wider, and the other two passages that play the role of arson isolation can be slightly narrower.

In addition, in order to improve the efficiency of burning, we also need to use bulldozers to open a few more separation belts from these directions.

Note that this is the upper reaches of the creek, and I plan to use a bulldozer here to push out a north-south wall, of course, it is just a simple earth wall, and it only needs to be compacted with rammed earth, so the whole project, including the road, will not consume the cement in the cave. ”

Seeing that everyone nodded frequently, Hou Xianglin continued:

"Also, whether it is a farm or a vegetable garden, all kinds of houses are simple greenhouses, however, these facilities will definitely consume the materials in the cave, but this is no way to do it, please rest assured, I will plan carefully and try to save the use of ......"

The whole introduction process lasted a full hour, Hou Xianglin explained in great detail the first major engineering operation after the crossing, and with the help of large-scale topographic maps, everyone gradually understood the whole picture of the whole project.

Finally, Hou Xianglin talked about the problem of labor allocation, obviously the first stage of the construction operation is to open the arson isolation zone, because there are only three bulldozers, plus Hou himself and the operators in shifts are a total of more than a dozen people, before the first open land, the rest are on standby in the cave, and when the open land is launched, in addition to the bulldozer on duty, everyone has to hurry up to get out of the cave and make a kind of combustion auxiliary supplies - gasoline bottles in plastic bottles, Hou Xianglin then explained, The specific method of this kind of thing will be explained to you later, it is very simple.

As for why we didn't make this gasoline bottle in the cave at the same time, obviously for safety, we were playing with a bunch of flammable and explosive things, and I didn't want anyone to accidentally set the cave on fire.

Then, after all the isolation zones are completed, everyone will go into battle to set fire to the wasteland.

As for the follow-up construction projects of vegetable garden farms, including roads, separation walls, aqueducts in vegetable gardens, livestock sheds in farms, poultry houses and other buildings, please work hard, and everyone will have to work as a basic labor force, including myself.

Hou Xianglin finally concluded that if we seize the time to carry out the construction, and the weather permits, it is expected that it will only take half a month to 20 days to complete the construction of the burning wasteland, vegetable gardens, and breeding farms.

At that time, we will be able to plant vegetables and raise poultry and livestock in time, so that we can ensure that the supply of various non-staple foods can be connected before the vegetables and meat in the kitchen are exhausted......
