Chapter 64 Construction
Coupled with the more than 80 new recruits and the 43 technical researchers who were forcibly kidnapped, there are nearly 400 people in the entire small oasis, which is not a small scale.
The tents are poorly insulated, but luckily there are woods that block out the strong sun. But Zhou Yuanqiang thought about it more, with the increase in personnel, relying on this tent and squeezing all of them into a small oasis is obviously impossible. According to their own plans, at least one thousand to two thousand people must be recruited in order to meet their initial requirements. The last days are a place where strength is supreme, and among the 2,000 people, 500 people will definitely be drawn to form a team, so calculated, the people who can be used directly are more than 1,000.
For these considerations, a small oasis cannot meet Zhou Yuanqiang's requirements.
In this wasteland, the existence of a small oasis like this is extremely precious, and it is not what Zhou Yuanqiang hopes to build in a small oasis, and he still wants to monopolize the small oasis when the time comes, build a big villa here, and live more comfortably. If you build it in a hurry now, destroy it, and restore it, it will be difficult.
In the vicinity of the small oasis, the activity of zombies is very rare, and only occasionally zombies appear, and they are not able to threaten the safety of the small oasis.
Therefore, after observing a small oasis, Zhou Yuanqiang carved out a large piece of land on the right side of the newly built wall, and instructed Chen Jianliang to take people to level the land. Like simply building a house on top of it, some are not realistic, and a wall is necessary. There is a lot of sand in the wasteland, but cement is a scarce material, and the best way to build a wall is to use a small amount of cement to make cement bricks from sand and gravel.
In order to solve the problem of cement, Zhou Yuanqiang also spent some brainpower. This time, the amount needed is dozens of times more than the previous one, and it is impossible to pull back a large truck by yourself inexplicably, right? It is necessary to find a proper way out for cement.
The existing armed forces in the camp, plus Xu Dali, also have about one hundred and twenty people, and the remaining half of them are guarding the camp, and the rest of the people, of course, are going out with Zhou Yuanqiang. The destination, Zhou Yuanqiang didn't say, he just took a few big trucks outside for five or six hours, and he had the right to train them. When they came back, they covered the truck with canvas and entered the camp, no one knew where Zhou Yuanqiang and they had gone and what they had harvested.
The warehouse has always been in charge of Zhou Yuanqiang, and there are few people who know the goods in and out, so the empty truck came back, and Zhou Yuanqiang took the opportunity to put the cement in the storage space into the warehouse.
This method is currently the best way Zhou Yuanqiang can think of, and after two or three days, he finally brought enough cement. Cement is only the first step, Zhou Yuanqiang found a look on the Internet, there are many manufacturers of brick making machines for sale, some large brick machines, a day's work, you can produce tens of thousands of cement bricks, one or two, you can meet the needs of the entire small oasis.
No need to solve the problem again, these large brick making machines need a lot of electricity, and they must also solve the problem of electricity, so that it is possible to solve the problem of brick making machines.
Zhou Yuanqiang's goal, of course, cannot be a brand new machine, so it is inconvenient to explain the source by himself. So he searched for a few days in the second-hand market, and finally found a few high-power diesel generators and two sets of large brick making machines. But how to move these machines to the small oasis is a troublesome matter.
To solve this problem, Zhou Yuanqiang thought about it for a long time, and finally took advantage of the opportunity to travel alone, found a small village, transported these machines, and then found a credible place to set up the machines. Fortunately, all of this can be controlled by mind, otherwise the diesel generator alone is a big guy, and it cannot be moved by one person's strength. Not to mention, it is even more brick making machine.
The next situation was a bit of a matter of course, with the team, pretending to sweep this small village, and then transporting the machines away. The production time on the machine, Zhou Yuanqiang has already removed it, and there is no need to worry about what they will suspect.
With these big guys, it is not difficult to buy diesel fuel from the settlement. After the electricity is turned on, the whole small oasis becomes a roar, and the sound of the brick making machine can be heard several miles away. Naturally, it will attract nearby zombies. Fortunately, they are very scattered, all of them are dozens, dozens, and more than one or two hundred came in batches, Qiu Guorui brought hundreds of people, but it was very easy to solve the zombies that came.
After a while, zombies rarely appear again, and it should be that the number of zombies in this area has decreased.
As Chen Jianliang said, the news that there was work in the small oasis still attracted the third, fourth and even the first batch of people. Among them, there are both old and weak, but more are middle-aged men. With Zhou Yuanqiang's explanation, Chen Jianliang did not refuse to come, and soon recruited thousands of people, making the small oasis lively, plus a large fence under construction, and rows of simple houses, like a big construction site.
The wall has cement bricks, and you only need to build a foundation, and build a ten-meter-high wall with two cement bricks on the surface to block the impact of the zombies. For defense, in the interior of the siege, every ten meters, a brick tower of the same height will be built, and if necessary, two people can fight on it at the same time. In this way, the fence is simple and practical, saving a lot of resources.
Qiu Guorui was in charge of the established team, and recruited 200 people from the strong men who were added, forming an armed force of more than 300 people.
The problem of guns, in the central square of the wasteland settlement, there are a large number of manufacturing workshops and shops for sale, equipped with weapons for two hundred people, and a simple and practical AK47, which does not cost Zhou Yuanqiang much money. It's just that the bullets that are trained to shoot every day flow out like water, which makes Zhou Yuanqiang's heart ache. After a day's training, each person consumes at least 100 rounds of ammunition, which is 10 Level 1 crystals.
The sudden increase in population has a huge pressure on logistics and food, and Zhou Yuanqiang does not plan to go to the Grand Canyon settlement in person, so he took out a set of stamping machine tools from modern times, organized a caravan again, and set off towards the Grand Canyon settlement. This time, he didn't carry anything else, but simply used the machine tool to exchange a large amount of food for the Grand Canyon settlement.
The caravan has a shortcut dirt road, so there is no need to worry about the attack of zombies, so the strength of the guards is only thirty people, and if there is no accident, it is enough.
Others are not idle, the land in Zhou Yuanqiang's circle is very large, larger than a small oasis, and it will take a while to build. Almost all of them work during the day, and at night they retreat to the small oasis. Seeing that in a week, the accommodation room is getting more and more perfect, like the asbestos tiles on the roof, it is impossible for Zhou Yuanqiang to bring it all from the modern era, so it can only be that the team can loot the villages that can be captured by the way when they are training, and the materials used for building the house can be robbed, although they are snatched back.
Most of the villages in the last days have been ransacked, but there are nothing valuable, such as asbestos tiles and the like, no one will take a fancy to them, and they happen to be cheaper than Zhou Yuanqiang.
