Chapter 42 Site Selection
If the Dawning Base wants to be built in a veritable way, and if it wants to be sustainable, it must go to the densely populated big cities to grab the population, especially the technical talents!
The team participation committee decided that Chen Yu, deputy captain of the armed action team, would lead three action teams with a total of 30 people from Tongqiao County to Changsha City to carry out the task of integrating other survivor teams.
The main activity area is the large-scale industrial park, vocational and technical college, residential area and university town established around Changsha City, and all people involved in chemical, mechanical, electronic, medical, construction, agricultural and other industries are the goal of Shuguang Base.
The team had a total of fifty-seven guns, and twenty were brought by the Thirty-Man Armed Action Team to deal with the stubborn survivor team who refused to be recruited.
For this operation, all the team members who went out on the mission changed into newly made iron-clad shields that can withstand bullets at close range and a small number of body armor.
Of course, this kind of shield can only defend against pistol bullets, and rifles certainly can't protect against them.
If you can follow the superpower to go out on a mission, you must be an instant success.
But Chen Yu doesn't think so, Changsha City is the capital city of Nanhu Province, with a population of nearly 10 million, at least 150 police stations, plus the police bureau and police department, as well as special police and garrisons, etc., it is easy to form a situation of proliferation of guns.
The advantage of the Dawning base is that the team was established relatively early, at this point in the time of just half a year after the end of the world, most of the small and medium-sized teams in the city are still no more than 100 people, and they are still in the stage of searching for food from door to door, even if there are guns and hot weapons, there will not be too many.
In the past year and a half, after the merger of small and medium-sized teams naturally, guns and weapons will be gathered together.
Despite the dominance, one cannot be careless.
Chen Yu first went to explore the terrain of three reservoirs, which were relatively not as grand as the large ones, but they were surrounded by walls, some of which contained fishing grounds and live livestock.
The walls of these small reservoirs are a little more than two meters high, and it is impossible to prevent living people and intelligent zombies in any way, unless the walls are heightened and thickened or a roof is directly built...... But that's easier said than done.
After reporting the topography and construction of the three reservoirs to the Participation Committee, everyone can only make a decision first, and it is better to have something than nothing, and then consider others when there are conditions in the future.
Thirty armed squads took to the road with twenty guns and nearly 2,000 rounds of ammunition, and the Senate was tasked with recruiting 100 talents, especially in the electrician and mechanical fields, both men and women.
This means that the team will be active in Changsha for a long time until it recruits enough people. In addition, there is a small task, which is to go to the "Planning Department" of Changsha City to find the urban planning information so that it can be used in the future.
After all, a city with a population of 10 million like Changsha has a complete industrial chain, from aircraft cannons to screws and nuts, there are corresponding enterprise factories.
If the Dawning Base can get all these equipment, it will not be so difficult to build a new city.
In fact, many people in the team want to directly enter Changsha City and use the originally planned urban buildings, so that they only need to build a fence around it, and they can use the surrounding reservoir power station and resources nearby.
However, the number of people in the team is too small, and there is no way to clean up the zombies in the city in a short time, and there are other teams in the city.
Therefore, whether the plan is changed or not, it is not wrong to prioritize the grabbing of population resources. As long as there are enough talents, even ruins can quickly build a city.
"Team Chen, secondly, we don't need to go into the city at all, it's good to expand the base in the suburbs."
On the roof of the fourth floor of a canning factory in Changsha City's Diplomatic Industrial Park, everyone held binoculars and looked at the inner area of the Third Ring Road, which is densely populated with high-rise buildings, and expressed their opinions one after another.
Xiong Guoguo, the leader of the third team of the action team, pointed around and continued: "You see, there are a lot of high-rise buildings in the city, but they are of little use to our team. What we need is a factory, preferably directly occupied, saving us from moving around. Those big equipment can easily cost ten tons and dozens of tons, how much gasoline does it cost to go back and forth? I have to find someone to install it again, and it's a matter of old nose. ”
Seeing that the other party nodded, Xiong Guoguo said with a smile: "The roads here are all ready-made cement roads, and there are also horse wind, red yeast rice, and horse toad reservoirs next to it, and Hengtoushan Reservoir can also be taken over." Our team lives directly in the industrial zone, and farms and cultivates land on the east, north and south sides, which is very good. ”
The team member next to him interjected: "Yes, there are industrial zones everywhere here, if we come here to settle down, it will be convenient to move other factories here." And there are railways and highways, let's cut off the two ends, and we can use them ourselves in the future. ”
Chen Yu said: "What you said is right, but there is only one bad thing, that is, this place does not rely on rivers. It is more than 60 miles away from the nearest Xiangjiang River and 150 miles away from the Pingtou River. Once the base is besieged, there is no way to escape. ”
Xiong Guoguo smiled: "You are too worried, zombies are dead brains, where can you think of besieging the city?" Even if they are surrounded, let's just take a moment to burn them all, and we can still fatten the ground. ”
"Besides, let's only be responsible for finding people this time, and the location of the base will be decided by the people of the Staff Committee."
Chen Yu went down to the roof of the building, went to the workshop on the second floor, looked at the dozen or so survivor men and women who had just been found, and said with a smile in Nanhu dialect: "Don't be afraid, eat and sleep here with peace of mind." Cooperate with us to fill in the information, write down what you will do, and we will be our own people in the future. ”
A girl with big eyes asked timidly, "Cauldron, are you also from Nanhu?" ”
"Hmm." Chen Yu nodded with a smile, called a team member, pointed at him and said, "Tang Shuang is responsible for registering the roster for you, you will answer whatever he asks, don't embarrass him to do things." We at the Dawning Base do not bully men, let alone women. ”
Tang Shuang, who was a little shorter next to him, took out a pen and notebook from his backpack, and said to the crowd in a Nanhu provincial accent: "Register one by one, I'm afraid of a ball, and we won't eat people." ”
Chen Yu called all the thirty-member team over, picked out nine members who were not tall and more agile from them, reorganized them into a team, and prepared to take the team to Pingshan Forest Farm, Wujia Reservoir and Jinchuan Reservoir.
The remaining 20 remained in the industrial area, tasked with searching for survivors in nearby factories.
Nanhu province has a complex water network, full of rivers and streams, and hundreds of reservoirs, large and small, used to generate electricity. In the vicinity of Changsha City alone, there are twenty or thirty reservoir power stations.
Therefore, the location of the base must not be ambiguous, and it is necessary to choose a flat land far away from the large river basin to prevent flooding. But at the same time, there must be large-scale arable land nearby to grow food to sustain development.
The idea of finding an island to live on the sea is very unrealistic, and human beings are now accustomed to electrified life, and will never degenerate into the agricultural era, even if it is stable for a while, it will not last long.
