Chapter 760: Ahead of Others
This trip to the hypermarket, Leng Hao has gained a lot.
Not only did they recruit two or three hundred new team members, but the addition of Gong Zhiyun and Li Zilin made the rat expedition further regularized.
At the same time, a complete set of construction machinery, as well as the acquisition of several electric off-road vehicles, has also greatly strengthened people's mobility and working ability.
"The current hydropower plant base is no longer able to meet our survival requirements, and we need to expand the scale of the base."
Zhao Chenchen was a little serious and made a report at the meeting.
The current Rat Expedition is close to 800 people, and the daily food supply is a big problem.
It's not easy to just rely on going out to grab food, and the freight on the way will make people miserable. It is important to plan ahead and consider the possibility of obtaining food for yourself.
"Our plan is to extend the site as a whole to the edge of the road, freeing up dedicated areas to grow sweet potatoes and potatoes."
Jiang Mingrui also stood up and spoke.
"Even then, the food supply was a bit stretched. At present, we are not yet fully self-sufficient. ”
College students are now gradually growing up and being able to take charge on their own.
"We are now experiencing problems in the production of ammunition, there is a shortage of various raw materials, and we need to collect materials to make our own gunpowder."
Gao Shiping also said with some embarrassment.
After these days, he and his students have worked hard, and now the base basically has a semi-automatic bullet production line, and the daily output of various ammunition can reach the standard of 10,000 rounds.
But the lack of gunpowder, warheads makes the production of people is declining.
The good news, however, is that for the first time, the ammunition reserves of the Rat Expedition have exceeded 300,000 rounds.
After all, Leng Hao has been away from the base for a while, and this can be regarded as a meeting to report the results.
However, when people were discussing, Li Zilin, who came to listen to the side, couldn't help it.
He raised his hand to signal that he was to speak.
"Li Zilin, do you have any suggestions to post?"
Leng Hao still attaches great importance to these newcomers.
"Captain, the ammunition and oil of the base, these flammable and explosive materials, need a special place to store them."
"It's just a simple distance, which is not safe, and it also takes up a lot of usable area."
"I suggest that we could even use the river."
Li Zilin still remembers the previous fire.
"We can set up equipment upstream of the hydropower plant similar to a container ro-ro ship to store ammunition and other supplies."
Li Zilin even proposed that a giant flatbed ship similar to the iron-locked Hengjiang could be built to serve as a base for plant cultivation.
"I saw that there are soilless plants at the base, and with this kind of technology, as long as there are enough light conditions, it can be done on the river."
"After all, we have a narrow terrain here, and while it is convenient to garrison, there is less flat land, which is too wasteful if it is used for planting."
We can refer to this opinion. At the same time, Li Zilin, you can take a look around the base and write a report to me. ”
Leng Hao nodded affirmatively at Li Zilin.
"We also need a lot of fuel. The start of those construction machinery, Fengming Mountain, is not a simple matter. ”
Xu Manli frowned and said with some concern.
As the head of the navy group, she is most concerned about the growing shortage of fuel at the base.
"We may have to build a refinery......
Leng Hao smiled bitterly, in this world, what is most lacking now is oil and metal.
"In the end, we still have to explore externally, and only by obtaining resources from the outside can we feed back to the base and make the base grow better."
"Let's put together the materials we need, and we'll discuss them in the next few days."
Song Xiaya proposed to consult the new team members about what they saw and heard in the vicinity at the same time, and the possibility of gathering various supplies to decide the direction to go.
"Do you have any suggestions? If not, the meeting is adjourned. Each group wrote a report to me. ”
The current rat expedition is also facing a great existential crisis, and people have short meeting times.
"Wait a minute!"
At this moment, Gong Zhiyun suddenly raised his hand.
"Ms. Xin Xiaoshi next to me has something to say."
When people's eyes were focused on him, Gong Zhiyun gently pushed Xin Xiaoshi beside him.
"Well, that's how I think about it."
Xin Xiaoshi stood up a little shyly, and said with a red face.
"No matter what supplies we are looking for, I think we should give priority to finding paramotors, drones and other aerial reconnaissance equipment."
With the encouragement of Gong Zhiyun on the side, the woman clarified her thoughts.
"Our current transportation is dominated by bicycles and electric vehicles, not to mention the amount of energy people spend. This way of walking along the winding road takes a lot of time. ”
"If only we had a paramotor force, or better the Air Force. We can completely use the airborne method to reconnoiter all kinds of suspected material points. ”
"The contact is then made via radio communication, which saves a lot of time and manpower."
The more Xin Xiaoshi spoke, the more confident she became.
"Moreover, in this kind of daily reconnaissance operation, we can get more people to learn to use aerial equipment, and if there is a war, they can also be quickly put into battle."
"That's it for me."
After finishing speaking, Xin Xiaoshi bowed to everyone with some restraint and sat down shyly.
"Bang Bang!"
Leng Hao was the first to applaud.
Xin Xiaoshi was a little timid, but her advice was very good.
Paramotor consumes some fuel, but the fuel consumed by this equipment is far more cost-effective than the Fengmingshan and the time and human resources spent.
Moreover, it was impossible for Leng Hao to give up the Air Force, and that battle of the valley completely proved the usefulness of the Air Force.
Then people will inevitably practice, and it is better to use this scouting mode as a practice to kill two birds with one stone.
"I agree with this suggestion."
"Agreed."
Soon, it was unanimously adopted.
"Before the team decides on a real place to explore, prioritize finding, equipping, and manufacturing Air Force equipment."
"At the same time, we should develop radio communications, network communications, and other means, and strive to achieve communication and liaison within tens or even hundreds of kilometers."
"By the way, there must be someone in charge of the contact with the hypermarket on the 27th, and we need professionals from the relevant aspects."
Leng Hao added.
"That's fine, we'll keep our support for them."
Song Xiaya nodded, with a confident face.
Compared to the other survivor teams who were still thinking about building a castle, the Rat Expedition was undoubtedly ahead of the curve.
"Alright, let's get to work. We are a sweatshop, and there is no room for slackness! ”
Leng Hao's words made people a little embarrassed.
Air Force, just think about it, who cares what sweatshops are not factories.
