Failure is also something I need, and it is just as valuable to me as success. -- Edison

"Yes! Boss, there is another situation, there has been civil strife and fighting in the Guangyuan refugee camp, and the combat effectiveness has been greatly reduced, do you think we are recovering the Guangyuan refugee camp at the right opportunity? Zhang Dajun took the initiative to ask Li Baoqiang.

"You act cheaply, but you must pay attention to security and the secrecy of the base, I hope the base is our base camp, and we must not let the secrets of the base leak out, remember." Li Baoqiang is still a little worried about the safety of the Hope Base.

After talking to Zhang Dajun, Li Baoqiang thought of the potatoes planted in the fields outside the Chengdu base, and it was time to harvest. Thinking of this, Zhang Juncai found Li Baoqiang, and also reported the potato harvest. Li Baoqiang decided on the spot that all the staff would spend a few days going outside to harvest potatoes.

Harvest, an absolute harvest. All the people in the base were dumbfounded, it was only a few months, from planting the sprouts to harvesting, these potatoes were simply injected with growth hormones, and more than 400,000 catties of potatoes were harvested in these seventy or eighty acres of land, which was enough for these people in the Chengdu base to eat in winter.

Zhang Dajun sent six truckloads of ten tons of rice to Li Baoqiang, and the members of the base, who had long been tired of eating canned food, were full of admiration for Li Baoqiang when they ate the freshly steamed white rice with a fragrant aroma. Many people in the Chengdu base have never been to the Hope Base, but they have only heard from the people who came to the Hope Base about the situation there, and they are always skeptical about the situation of the Hope Base.

But seeing the steady stream of cement, glass, salt, and rice this time, these living realities finally convinced the people of the Chengdu base, and followed Li Baoqiang to have hope, and there was hope has become a firm creed in everyone's hearts.

Li Baoqiang decided to trade with the black base again, this time using white rice as a trading object. Li Baoqiang did not believe that these refugee bases huddled in big cities were not interested in these new rice, and from now on salt and rice would become important materials for kidnapping these bases.

Because Li Baoqiang's transaction list will no longer be clothes, food and other general items, from now on all kinds of technical personnel, management personnel, computer personnel, precision machine tools, motors, steel, steel-making furnaces, computers, servers, etc. will be included in the trading roster, Li Baoqiang will establish his own scientific and technological system.

At present, the Chengdu base has become the main base controlled by Li Baoqiang, which will become the main base for scientific and technological research and development and production, and the hope base is mainly responsible for food production, mineral resources production and population reproduction. Food and science and technology will be the two major supports for Li Baoqiang to build his kingdom.

As Li Baoqiang expected, the amazing benefits brought by rice are really obvious. Wang Zhiming led the team back this time, pulling a whole four cars of people, according to Wang Zhiming, each person is the price of ten catties of rice, these so-called talents, in the white base to have no strength, to combat effectiveness without combat effectiveness, it is simply chicken ribs, can be taken away by Wang Zhiming, Brother Hu actually seems to have made a fortune, secretly laughing at Li Baoqiang's ignorance.

In the eyes of Brother Hu, these people are garbage that wastes food, which shows the difference between Brother Hu and Li Baoqiang. Wang Zhiming described Brother Hu's excited expression to Li Baoqiang, Li Baoqiang smiled slightly, and habitually rubbed his nose: "Do you know what is the most expensive in the last days?" ”

"Of course it's talent, like me." The fat man Wang Zhiming proudly puffed up his chest and said complacently.

Li Baoqiang stretched out his thumb at Wang Zhiming, Wang Zhiming saw Li Baoqiang praising himself, and he was even more arrogant: "The boss is really discerning!" The fat man suddenly saw Li Baoqiang flip his arm, his thumb turned down, the fat man's smile froze on his face, his mouth was wide open, and he was stunned on the spot.

In the following days, Liu Junsheng carefully selected these personnel according to Li Baoqiang's arrangement, according to metal smelting, machinery manufacturing, software research and development, CNC machine tool operation and use, etc., and indeed had real talent and real learning to enter Liu Junsheng's science and technology department.

Those people who can only write papers have become ordinary staff, following others as apprentices, after all, these people are still quite educated, and if they are sent to the hope base, they can only farm, mine, salt, and make glass, which is a bit of a waste of their academic qualifications.

Hearing the wind, the white base also sent someone to find Wang Zhiming, who was trading in the black base, and expressed his willingness to exchange materials, so now the black and white bases in Chengdu have become Li Baoqiang's material delivery base, rice, salt and other materials have kidnapped these two bases on Li Baoqiang's chariot, and all kinds of steel and aluminum have been continuously transported from Chengdu to the Chengdu base.

The Chengdu base is now roaring all day long, the lathe in the workshop is running, the industrial pattern of the previous life has been formed, a large number of products have been produced, Li Baoqiang has the idea of winter trade again, but this time it is going to expand to other regions.

Winter is quietly coming, and the first winter snow is falling all over the sky. The survivors suddenly found that they had been surviving in the end times for nearly a year. Li Baoqiang sat in his office at the Chengdu base, surrounded by the stove, admiring the snow outside, bowing his head and contemplating.

Li Baoqiang is now complacent. At the moment, the two bases are stable and everything is good. It is hoped that the grain production of the base will be on the right track, and the rice planting area will continue to be expanded in the coming year, and the cement manufacturing will also send a large number of raw materials to the construction of the two bases, and the salt will become a sharp weapon in the hands of Li Baoqiang to open up the world.

In the production workshop of the Chengdu base, two intermediate frequency electric furnaces are producing, and a steady stream of scrap steel and aluminum materials are being disassembled, smelting steel ingots, and aluminum ingots as metal reserves. In the weapons repair room, Liu Junsheng repaired several personnel carriers, added guard plates, and installed heavy machine guns, so that these anti-riot vehicles and personnel carriers were more effective and defensive.

Where do we go next? Whether to continue to expand his sphere of influence or to maintain the status quo is a question that Li Baoqiang has been thinking hard about recently.

Suddenly, the women's volleyball captain Wu Chun walked in and reported: "Report to the instructor, we have heard a radio, and now it is constantly circulating, you better listen to it, it seems to be a speech from the top." ”

"Oh? I haven't heard the voice of the upper echelons in the past year, is it that now the upper echelons have resumed their rule? Li Baoqiang followed Wu Chun to the radio car outside in confusion, only to see several communication soldiers listening intently to the sound coming from the radio.
