It took a lot of effort for Cheng Lei to get a diesel generator and an electric welding machine from Xing Chenghui to fully prepare for the welding of the truck's steel plates. Xing Chenghui didn't know what Cheng Lei wanted those things for, the only few generators in his oil mine were forcibly requisitioned by Cheng Lei, and the welding machine was shipped back from the West before, and not many people would use it, so Xing Chenghui left it idle there.

However, this diesel generator can be regarded as making Xing Chenghui feel a lot of pain, these generators were shipped back from the West with great difficulty, and the specific cost of each unit is about 2,000 gold victors. No, the process is rich and rich, and without saying a word, he slapped a 3,000-gold Vic's Qingshan Qian Zhuang exchange banknote on the table.

Xing Chenghui naturally couldn't say anything more, so Cheng Lei returned with a full load. After the generator and welding machine were pulled back, Cheng Lei found Zheng Bin to explain the usage and function of the two devices to them. Why do you want to find Zheng Bin, because Zheng Bin likes these mechanical and electrical things the most in his spare time, and he has also taken some courses by himself, so he has the most say in these two machines.

After Zheng Bin received the news, he happily ran to teach Yang Jishan and them, mainly talking about safety issues and the use skills of the two devices. Zheng Bin observed and experimented there for a long time before figuring out how the two machines were used, and when he gave Yang Jishan a lesson later, he was even more confident.

Zheng Bin spent a day teaching all the craftsmen to use the two machines, and then personally took them to power generation and welding. However, these people have not had much contact with electric welding, and they used to make simple guns, knives and bullets, and this cold use of electric welding machines can be regarded as stumbling on them.

Zheng Bin didn't believe in this evil, so he pulled Cheng Lei together and soaked in the modification workshop, Cheng Lei gave him logistics work, supported all the materials and other things, Zheng Bin took people to weld the steel plate of the car body and install various protective gear.

Cheng Lei decided to use the most advanced 530 gun on the market as the mobile turret of the tank, and the 530 gun was developed by imitating the light and fast performance of the sentry gun and the high power of the field gun. It is larger than a sentry, but smaller than an ordinary field gun, but it is not less powerful, on the contrary, it is larger than a field gun.

Because the 530 gun is the latest howitzer developed and marketed, although its size is small, but because it is more advanced than the previous technological process, it is much more powerful than the previous field artillery.

In this way, there is a specific plan for the staffing of a tank armored vehicle converted from a truck. In addition to a driver, a gunner, and two reloaders, there is also a heavy machine gun under the barrel, and a machine gunner and a secondary shooter.

Equipped with two snipers in the body and a heavy machine gun in the rear, this car's firepower configuration can be said to be a big killer in this world. And Cheng Lei is also ready to transform truck tires into tracks, if it can succeed, it doesn't hurt if it can't. After all, after the transformation, this tank armored vehicle can be said to be the nemesis of all arms, and no one is invincible at all.

Someone from the base was sent, and Qi Mi wrote in the letter that the gate of the base had been completely completed, and the final closing of the wall had been completed. Now the base has become a veritable small city, although it is less than one-third of the size of Yinta City, but it is definitely not small, and it is more than enough to accommodate one or two hundred thousand people.

Qi Mi also thanked Cheng Lei for sending all those refugees to the base, and now those refugees have settled in the base. Although it was only some tents, there was food and drink, and it was one heaven and one underground compared to the previous days of disaster.

And now the young and strong workers and women of the refugees have taken active action to build the residential areas according to the plan designed by Qi Mi. The refugees are highly motivated, and they completely treat the base as their second home, and work harder than building their own home.

At the end of the letter, Qi Mi said that one of the most respected Mr. Bailey among these refugees wanted to see their savior, and he wanted to thank Cheng Lei on behalf of all the refugees who had been sheltered by the base. This old Mr. Bailey has returned with the messenger who sent the letter, of course Cheng Lei wants to meet him, after all, if he wants to gather the hearts of the refugees, this old gentleman is very crucial.

"Benefactor, the little old man has kowtowed to you, thank you for saving your life, we will never forget it for generations......" An old man in a white robe knelt on the ground when he saw Cheng Lei and bowed his head.

Cheng Lei hurriedly stepped forward to help him up and said, "Old man, you are going to break my life." Get up quickly, please be seated. It took a lot of effort for Cheng Lei to help the old man to the chair.

The old man sobbed a little and said, "Chief Cheng, there is a big drought in our place this year, and it is simply impossible for people to live. If you don't have your mercy to take us in after coming here, we will only have to die in the end. ”

"Mr. Cheng, you are the life-saving benefactor of our ancestors for generations, as long as you speak in the future, we people will definitely go to the soup and fire, and treat each other with our lives!"

Cheng Lei couldn't help but be particularly moved when he heard his words, this is a simple old man, and he is also an old man with a very sense of mission: "Old man, those refugees in the base in the future, no, they will be called residents in the future." You are the spokesperson for those residents, which means that if they have any appeals, you can gather them all together and send them to me for processing. All right? ”

Old Man Bailey said very happily: "Chief Cheng, of course, there is nothing wrong with your support. That's it, Leader Cheng, you must have a lot of things to do, little old man is bothered, I'll go back to the base first. ”

"Old man, go slowly, I won't send you." After Bailey left, Cheng Lei stroked his forehead and fell into deep thought: if the base is completely completed, then of course the management of residential areas cannot be managed in the way of the army. In this case, one or more managers of residential areas are needed, but now there is no one of Cheng Lei's henchmen to do this, what can I do?

It's not that Cheng Lei doesn't trust this old man named Bailey, it's just that he doesn't want anything to go wrong in the residential area and cause any impact on the entire base. Now it seems that in the future, there is a real need for someone who is absolutely trustworthy and capable to be the leader of the neighborhood.

At this time, Zheng Bin broke in from the door: "Lao Cheng, didn't you say that you wanted to accompany me to the end, why did you run back and be lazy?" ”

Cheng Lei had a flash of inspiration in his mind after seeing Zheng Bin: Yes, Zheng Bin will serve as the leader of the residential area and the deputy commander of the military district, and then appoint two loyal deputies to him, and send some soldiers to be policemen. In this way, it is completely possible to grasp all the work of the entire base, and there will be no delay anywhere, and this best of both worlds is of course the best.

"Lao Cheng, what are you thinking, why don't you speak?" Zheng Bin saw that Cheng Lei was still stunned, so he asked.

Cheng Lei said with a smile: "Lao Zheng, come here, I have something important to discuss with you......

After listening to Cheng Lei's thoughts, Zheng Bin thought about it for a while and said: "Old Cheng, your idea is very correct, the residential area occupies half of the base, of course, you can't give up the leadership here to others." Whether I do it as a leader or someone else does it, in a word, it must be our people who do it, and as for others, no one can! ”

Cheng Lei nodded and said: "The purpose of that Bailey here today is actually to fight for the leadership of the residential area, and I think that the old man is not a bad person, so he agreed." But I told me again and again that all matters must be reported to me in one group, and Bailey agreed to my request. ”

"Hmph, I think this old guy is here to ask for power, even if he doesn't have any bad intentions, he is also a power lover. Such a person sitting in a high position is most likely to give rise to dirty things such as autocracy, so I think it is better to temporarily let Qi Mi or Pan Jin directly manage the residential area. Zheng Bin said.

Cheng Lei said with a smile: "Lao Zheng, don't be too careful, the base has not been built yet, let alone the residential area." What doesn't even have a shadow, even if he is ambitious, it is useless at all, you can rest assured! And now Pan Jin is in charge of the security of the entire base, and Qi Mi is the chief commander of the building, they are much busier than us, so don't make trouble for them. ”

Zheng Bin nodded and said thoughtfully: "Okay, let's let this old man maintain a little power for the time being." When we officially settle in the base, just find an excuse to take his power away! ”

"We can't take away all his powers, this old man has a high prestige among those refugees, and it is better to keep some of his insignificant powers, so that we can better establish our prestige in the hearts of the refugees." Cheng Lei said while smoking.

Zheng Bin said with some disdain: "Lao Cheng, your biggest shortcoming now is that you are too careful, think about those refugees are now counting on us to eat, even if we do anything, it is not too much, after all, we are their food and clothing, what is the use of them having more ideas?" ”

Cheng Lei said with a smile: "Water can carry a boat and capsize a boat, these refugees are the people of the base in the future." If we all hold your view, I'm afraid we won't be able to live long. We must treat these ordinary people as our own people, and they will regard us as the people they support the most. ”

The two of them were silent for a while before Zheng Bin said, "Okay, I admit that I'm a little extreme." You're right, do as you say! ”
