Chapter XIX. In the last days, eating hot pot and discussing the future
After everyone's concerted efforts, the aquaponics system also operated smoothly.
This thing needs to be taken care of all the time, no fertilizer can be applied or pesticides, and if there is a problem with the crop, it must be reacted immediately, but fortunately, in the last days, there is nothing to do, but there is also leisure to take care of the crops one by one.
The aquaponics system has been running for three days, and the crops have basically survived, so everyone simply scalded the pot to express the joy in their hearts.
The hot pot was boiling in the kitchen, and Yi Ling and Zhang Mingwei went to the cellar to bring a bunch of meat and wine.
There are frozen shrimp and fat beef rolls, pork belly and pig tails, and crab sticks and shrimp dumplings packed in large barrels for luncheon meat, and there are relatively few vegetables, and the only fresh vegetables are bean sprouts, enoki mushrooms, and some lettuce leaves and leeks.
The hot pot base was scavenged from the supermarket, and Yi Ling, who likes heavy spicy flavors, also added a lot of chili peppers and peppercorns to it, so that the soup base that smelled very strong did bring a touch of warmth to everyone in the cold nuclear winter.
Zhou Xingyuan is not very good at eating spicy, watching everyone feast, he couldn't help but sandwich a piece of fat cow, but the result was that he was panting by the spicy Hehehe, and while holding the ice water and pouring it violently, he stuffed it into his mouth.
Yi Ling and Zhang Mingwei had already drunk, and the two of them who were strong didn't notice Zhou Xingyuan's embarrassment, and excitedly rowed their wine fists, boldly drinking glass after glass of liquor.
Li Shuying's little eyes rolled, and with a wicked smile, she replaced Zhou Xingyuan's ice water with hot tea, and when the spicy Zhou Xingyuan jumped straight to his feet, this little villain couldn't help laughing, and then the two little sisters staged a battle royale drama in the basement.
An indulgent hot pot enlivens everyone's minds, and the life in the shelter becomes more and more vibrant, and everyone is willing to contribute to a better life.
Being prepared for danger in times of peace has always been Yi Ling's characteristic, and he did not slack off because of the drunken life, and after sobering up the next day, Yi Ling pulled Zhang Mingwei and began to discuss a new plan.
The number of people in the shelter is gradually increasing, but the talent is still far from enough, there are still many gaps waiting to be filled, and the combat effectiveness of the shelter is even more insufficient.
Two men, two women, not to mention two women, basically have no fighting ability, Zhang Mingwei has some strength among the two men, and he can fight one or two in a fight, Yi Ling is much thinner, and his marksmanship is not very accurate, so he really has to face some vicious survivor forces, even if four people and one gun per person may not be able to play an advantage.
The last and most important point is that the means of transportation have not been able to keep up with the development, although the tractor is powerful, but this thing is an oil tiger, burning oil is not sloppy at all, the capacity is not high, if you want to tow more things, you have to hang an extra cargo box in the back, but in this way, many areas with complex road conditions can not pass.
The two expressed their opinions and planned the blueprint, seeing that the two discussed so enthusiastically, the two daughters, who were busy with the work at hand, also joined the discussion.
At first, everyone was at a loss.
Want to bring a new member to the shelter? Easier said than done! First of all, we must make sure that the person's character can be compatible with the people in the shelter, the three views of the people are not together, and the strength cannot be in one place so that no matter how many people are in vain, the second is to ensure the loyalty of the person, the fate of the people in the shelter is tightly tied together, no one wants to implicate the interests of the whole because of someone's betrayal, and the last point is that there must be technology, and it is the technology that everyone needs, and it is not that people without technology have no value, It's just that in the last days, it takes a lot of energy to find someone, if there is not enough value, then it is not worth everyone's energy, and finally and most crucially, that person must live, and he must be found......
The survivors in the shelter can be said to be the elite of the industry, and their respective social circles are not narrow, but under such screening, there are really few people who can enter everyone's sight.
If you don't have the force value, you can't do anything, you can only rely on guns if you can't fight, guns have to be fed with bullets, and the bullets in the shelter have to be saved, so how can there be bullets for training.
The first two proposals have no clue, and everyone has their own ideas about transportation.
Zhang Mingwei worked on the construction site, and naturally thought of all kinds of large-scale construction equipment, those big guys are full of power, steel and iron bones, such as excavators, as long as Zhang Mingwei can get an excavator, if you want to clean up the car jammed on the highway, it is a simple thing, just push it to clean up.
Yi Ling didn't have too many ideas, but Yi Ling had a friend who worked in the Motor City, which was the largest second-hand car dealership market in the entire prefecture and city, and also the largest maintenance car city, and learned from his friend that the Motor City had all kinds of equipment and parts needed to repair cars.
Zhou Xingyuan revealed a clue, the same Fushi Automobile City, where there is equipment to modify the power system of cars and trucks, from the previous pure fuel to gasoline-electric hybrid, or even to pure electric.
Everyone is arguing, Zhang Mingwei just wants to get an excavator back, Yi Ling wants to modify the bus, and Zhou Xing wants to drive a big truck, which is no one is convinced.
Li Shuying clasped her head, thought carefully for a while, pushed Zhang Mingwei with her elbow, and asked, "Brother Zhang, are they talking about the automobile city east of the Fourth Ring Road?"
"yes, what, you've been there?" Zhang Mingwei, whose arguing lips were dry, took a sip of water and turned his head to ask.
"If it's the place I want, I only went to ...... not long before the end of the world" Li Shuying nodded, and then said: "There was a problem with the machine tool circuit over there, and our company was entrusted to repair it.
Li Shuying's words attracted everyone's energy, everyone looked at Li Shuying with blank eyes, and Li Shuying didn't sell it, and then said.
"If Brother Zhang is looking for large-scale engineering equipment, there is a construction site in the automobile city that should still be under construction, forklifts, excavators, and forklifts are quite complete, but it is unknown whether they can be driven...... Li Shuying shrugged her shoulders, turned her head and said to Yi Ling: "Yi Ling, the automobile city is indeed doing the modification of bus hybrids, but bus charging needs electric piles, how do you solve this thing."
was stunned by Li Shuying's question, and Yi Ling suddenly realized that he was only thinking about how to save energy but didn't consider the problem of charging, so he could only smile awkwardly and cough twice.
Li Shuying was not embarrassed by Yi Ling, and turned her head to talk to Zhou Xingyuan again.
"I remember that the big trucks in the Motor City have existing cars, but the trucks are different from ordinary bicycles, even if we get the car, if we can't drive it, it's just scrap metal."
Zhou Xingyuan gave a thumbs up: "That necessary sister, in order to drive livestock or something, I specially took the driver's license for a truck, no problem at all, the old driver among the old drivers."
"That'll do." Li Shuying nodded in response, looked at everyone, and also put forward her own suggestions: "There are special vehicle parts and modification equipment in the automobile city, if we can, we can get a set."
"Special equipment? You mean bulletproof glass? ”
"That's right! Not only bulletproof glass, but we can also modify the wheels to prevent the tires from getting punctured, there are devices where we can transform the vehicle into tracks, and we can also add all kinds of defensive parts to the vehicle, put armor on the front of the car or something. ”
Everyone was talking about it, and this time a consensus was quickly reached, and the departure time was set for the next day.
