Text 751 Construction

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    There are several large-scale settlements in the capital of Xi'an, each with a population of Wanchuan. These settlements are all centered on water sources. Nowadays, the water that can be seen on the ground is almost invisible. It can only be found by digging deep into the ground.  There is a water source, but the water level is also dropping again and again. Many people run around all day just to get a drink of water every day. It is even impossible to brush their teeth and take a shower. That is something only the privileged class can do.  Some of these settlements are mainly based on agricultural production, and some rely entirely on excavating the remaining materials from the ruins of Xi'an and nearby cities in exchange for food. Their lives are getting worse day by day. Although they can grow crops, the shortage of water resources has made it difficult to grow wheat and other crops.  With nothing to harvest, many people fled here, but what awaited them was not life. It was too difficult for ordinary people to walk to the next settlement in the vast sea of ??sand without preparation.  Chu Xiang came to Taoyuan when the surrounding bases were in the current environment, a basin that had not yet been planted with peach trees but sand. According to the plan, three outposts were set up on the mountains around the basin.  Each mountain range has a watchtower "Chu Xiang built with five-color liquid. The underground part is dug more than 20 meters, and curtains are used to store supplies. Dozens of people can live in it for a long time without feeling crowded. In addition, other bases are waiting for the base.  After the construction is on track, more than a dozen hidden sentries and sniper points will be set up on the mountain. However, there is currently nothing to protect in the base. These settings are dispensable. In view of the shortage of manpower, it is better to concentrate on construction. First, we must build housing for living.  Considering the potential threat of the Terminator, Chu Xiang decided to dig out an underground facility in the shortest mountain range. Because it was protected by two strong mountains on both sides, it could be said to be very safe and built at the foot of this short mountain range.  Build rows of bungalows and live on the surface when there is no war. If there is danger, you will evacuate to the center of the mountain. However, the construction in the mountain will take time to complete. At present, we only build bungalows first. Another big project is to drain the water from the underground lake.  Put it up, this is the top priority, and it is the prerequisite for the base relocation. If there is no water, it is impossible to survive here, because the fuel can no longer be found. Chu Xiang can only use solar energy to generate electricity, and then use the electric energy to drive the motor.  Pumping water from the underground lake requires at least four levels of lift, which means that the power consumption is four times that of before. Chu Xiang can only increase the number of solar panels and install hundreds of square meters on a hillside. In the future, as the demand for electric energy increases,  As the installation continues, electric energy begins to be continuously generated. The second step is to dig three large holes in the ground. Each hole has a pump and a huge water storage tank, which are lifted up from the next level.  The water flows into the storage tank and is then supplied to the upper level by the pump. Although the amount of work is staggering, in the eyes of Chu Xiang and other super evolvers, apart from the time required to install the motor and water pipes, digging holes is the easiest thing.  The Evolver's skills are astonishing. It took nearly a same time to build the bungalow, install the solar panels, and successfully extract the groundwater. The subsequent projects in the future may take longer, but now we can move.  Rashid gathered the mutant birds scattered around, and it took him a whole week to move all the Flower and Fruit Valley to the Taoyuan Basin. It's just that it's too early to call it Taoyuan now, because in addition to the huge solar array,  , there is only a bungalow at the foot of the mountain. Even the Minggang on the Santiao River has not been repaired. The remaining projects are shared by Song Jun. Now Chu Xiang's top priority is to green the basin, otherwise the temperature during the day will be high.  It is too high to bear, and the stored food will not last long. New crops must be planted, and the vast sandy land is not suitable for planting. Bai Xiaowei's plan is to get some other plants to improve the soil first.  Plant a circle of trees throughout the basin, and then improve it little by little from the outside in. After having sufficient water supply, Chu Xiang's daily task is to plant trees, and then urge them to become useful in a few minutes. In one day, he can produce nearly 100 trees.  Thousands of trees, but it will take a lot of time to plant a circle around the basin. As the trees are planted farther and farther away, and the planting of some crops also requires water, a water pumping point is far from solving the problem. Chu Xiang can only plant on the opposite side.  Another water pumping station was set up at the foot of the mountain. Fortunately, the motors, pumping equipment, water pipes, and cables accumulated in the past were enough. Otherwise, it would have been necessary to go out to search, which would have taken a lot of time. With the completion of the second water pumping station, Chu Xiang  The tree planting plan finally succeeded initially, and the fruit trees planted behind him also produced mature fruits, all of which were as big as a bowl of sea. They still tasted a bit astringent but were edible, under Chu Xiang's deliberate control.  Those peach trees planted occasionally are always covered with peach blossoms, which makes Taoyuan taste delicious.  Early that morning, Chu Xiang picked more than a dozen baskets of fruits.  There are apples, pears, peaches, and dried fruits. These are all new species affected by the virus. They are big but not very tasty. Of course, this is only for Chu Xiang and others. Ordinary people cannot eat these fruits at all.  Maybe, Chu Xiang wants to use them to exchange for some supplies. The construction during this period will almost use up the supplies accumulated some time ago. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?There are three settlements about 100 kilometers away from Xishan Mountain, not far apart. The locals call them Dongcheng, Xicheng and Nancheng.  ?There is an FAO affiliated agency in the East City.  They grow corn, and the corn cobs they produce weigh more than ten kilograms each. However, they do not grow much due to lack of water, and can barely maintain the supply of their own base. The other two bases rely on digging materials from the ruins in exchange for food to survive and do business.  Most of them came from the southern base, and they brought rough food in exchange for the excavated supplies.  Chu Xiang plans to go to Xicheng first. It is close to the ancient city of Xi'an. There will definitely be necessary materials. There are many kinds of door paste needed in the initial stage of the new base construction. Chu Xiang plans to exchange them for them. Anyway, these dozen baskets of fruits are enough to pay for it.  After the money was paid, Rashid sent birds to transport the fruit not far outside the west city. Chu Xiang took ten crawlers carrying baskets and headed for the west gate accompanied by Li Haipeng, Zhang Debing, Zhang Hongbing and Wang Bin.  "Stop! Stop! Don't go any further. Otherwise, we'll shoot." The west city gate is just a simple barbed wire fence. The peace in recent years has allowed humans to relax their vigilance and only create some simple anti-civilian measures. Seeing Chu Xiang's behavior  There were creeper guards nearby who were paying special attention, and Chu Xiang did not force his way in. He restrained the leading creeper and went to greet the guards alone.  "Comrade, we are a trade team from the north. Please be accommodating and let us enter the city." As he spoke, Chu Xiang gave the guard a handful of golden beans. This was to adapt to social development, and Chu Xiang had no intention of doing anything to Xicheng.  Everything that needs to be done should be taken care of.  The guard looked much kinder after receiving the benefit.  Said: "You have a lot of goods. The 10% tax is too much. It will be a huge loss for you businessmen, so treat it as bulk materials and hand over five kilograms of gold." How much is five kilograms of gold worth?  For an apple, Chu Xiang happily took out the gold bars and gave an extra pound of gold to the guards for tea. The guards smiled happily and waved their hands: "Let's go into the city. I wish business is prosperous. These people  They didn't know what Chu Xiang was carrying. If they knew it was fruit, they would probably have their intestines broken. Unfortunately, they thought it was some junk, because no one had ever sold so much fruit. In the imagination of the guards,  There is no such thing. The streets are very deserted. Ordinary people don't walk in the sun, and the rest of them probably don't know where to hide and sleep.  Most shops were open during the day, but few people visited them. However, Chu Xiang was about to take advantage of the lack of attention. After a brief observation, he went straight to the building materials market. Some stores had large quantities of steel bars and copper locks.  It may be that there is no arsenal nearby to consume, so no one has purchased these materials. Looking at the grimaces on the faces of the bosses and waiters, it is clear that they have spent a lot of money on this. Chu Xiang kept rummaging through it in his backyard.  Picking, some of the steel bars were of poor quality and had been broken, with layers of different lengths stacked one on top of the other. The copper bars had been stored for a longer period of time, and most of them were buried in the sand, and no one cleaned them up. It was so random.  Throwing it away, it looked like a pity. At this time, a guy came over and said, "Brother, do you want to buy it or not? Don't look around. Our boss has a very bad temper recently. It will not be as easy for you to make him angry."  Let's go to the front yard. There are many novelties there. Chu Xiang raised his head and said, "I think your boss will lose his temper soon. Call him over." The boy looked at Chu Xiang again, but he couldn't see Chu Xiang.  What did he want to do, but seeing that Chu Xiang was wearing clean and tidy clothes, the clerk didn't dare to be wordy, so he hurried back to the office, and a fat man came out with little effort. He shouted to Chu Xiang: "I said you want to buy steel bars, low?"  Don't talk to me if you have a thousand pounds, I don't have time to pay attention to you cats and dogs." Chu Xiang said calmly: "I want all the goods you have here." The fat man touched his ears: "What? Did I hear you right?  Xiang said: "That's right, I want both the steel bars and the copper rods. Just make an offer. I will never counter-offer as long as it's not excessive.  "The fat man was overjoyed. He got these steel bars and copper locks at the beginning of the base's establishment. He thought he could make a fortune during the construction of the base. Who knew that the construction of this base was basically just coping. The steel bars and copper locks were sold  Not even one-tenth of it, all the gold he had accumulated over the years was weighed down on it, and now he couldn¡¯t spare any money if he wanted to buy other materials to sell.  If you really want it, just give me half a ton of gold. The yard is very spacious and there are at least ten tons of steel bars.  There are more copper locks, probably weighing about a hundred tons. I don¡¯t know how much effort they spent to transport them in the first place. It is very likely that some evolutionists dug into the steel market, and this batch of goods cost the fat man a thousand kilograms of gold.  After buying it, he sold nearly a hundred kilograms of gold before, and now he won't lose money if he sells it at the original price, he just makes less money.  Chu Xiang said simply: "Deal!" Instead, the fat man was stunned, looked at Chu Xiang again and said: "Brother, what a big deal.Transport southward?  Buying such a large amount of building materials locally is of no use as there is very little construction here.  " Chu Xiang smiled: "Boss, these are my own matters. Let's discuss the payment method.  "The fat man didn't say anything. He couldn't care less if people bought it and threw it away in the sand. The key was to finish the goods quickly and free up funds to do other things. Otherwise, he might not be able to gather enough winter supplies when the next winter comes.  When the time comes, the group of people who are eating and drinking with him will have to cause trouble. The fat man said to Chu Xiang: "The payment method can be cash or other valuable items, but the value must be decided by me.  "Chu Xiang nodded: "I have a batch of fruit, please ask the boss to help estimate the price. If it is suitable, the deal will be considered." The fat man was stunned again and then said angrily: "Fruit?  Dude, are you kidding me?  I have building materials worth half a ton of gold.  Although it¡¯s not too valuable, you can¡¯t exchange it for just one or two kilograms of fruit!  I thought you were sincere, but it turns out you were deceiving me!  ¡± A group of people jumped out of the yard, and two of them even carried the Spear of Judgment. That thing is not something that ordinary evolvers can possess. It seems that they are all fat boss Ji Chuanji. If there are not enough people to protect him,  The supplies had already been robbed. Chu Xiang was surrounded by the young fat girl. It was really tiring to dare to come to him to make trouble and take advantage of him. Little did he know that Chu Xiang didn't pay attention to this at all, and walked out with his legs raised: "  I have more than a dozen baskets, four or five varieties, with a total weight of nearly a ton. If you want it, just follow me. If you don¡¯t want it, just follow me!  "The evolvers besieging Chu Xiang were forced to take a step back by the murderous aura that instantly burst out from Chu Xiang. Chu Xiang walked straight out of the yard, and no one of them dared to chase him. The fat man hesitated for a moment and then gritted his teeth to follow. The so-called wealth is obtained through danger, let's talk about this.  It's still his territory. Let's go and see if there are really so many fruits. If you lie to others, you won't lose anything. After all, the steel and copper disciples are still in your hands, but at most you will be tricked by the other party.  It's not that easy to get away after the other party has tricked you. At the corner of the street, Zhang Debing and others were guarding a dozen large baskets, which were covered with thick canvases. The fat man followed Chu Xiang.  Nature also came. Chu Xiang pointed to the basket. The fat man looked surprised. If Chu Xiang lied to him at this time, it would be meaningless. The fruit was so precious. The fat man knew clearly. At first, the net thought it was only a few kilograms, although  It's precious but not enough to offset the price of his building materials. But now that he saw more than a dozen baskets, Fatty's eyes bulged out. What a value it was! He carefully opened a corner of the canvas and a fresh fruit fragrance wafted out. Fatty's eyes bulged.  Hongsheng pulled the canvas completely open, and a whole basket of pears appeared in front of him. Each one was as big as a bowl. The last time Fatty ate was a treat half a year ago. The pears were only as hard as a child's fist.  Wood slag. There was no moisture or sweetness at all. The fat man almost vomited blood when he ate ten of them. He couldn¡¯t believe it and picked up the pears in the basket. They felt real and brought them to his mouth.  The smell of water is intoxicating! This taste is definitely not artificial! The fat man couldn't help but take a sip, and the juices splashed out!  Reminding Fatty that the pear was not his own yet! Fatty awkwardly raised the pear he took a bite to Chu Xiang, and Chu Xiang smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll give this to you for free, try it out to see if it's true or not."  "The fat man said: "Really!  Absolutely true!  So sweet, I have never tasted such sweet and juicy pears!  " In fact, in Chu Xiang's eyes, these pears have a strong astringent taste, but in the eyes of others, they are rare and delicious. The fat man said simply: "I want all of these pears!  "Chu Xiang smiled and opened the remaining baskets of canvas. The fat man's eyes widened even more. "Damn, there are so many varieties. Come on, come on." Chu Xiang said seriously: "Boss, how many baskets do you think I should take?  "I can exchange them for your building materials." The fat man hesitated. These fruits are definitely worth a lot of money. Ordinary people can't grow them. If calculated based on the market price, at most five baskets would be worth his batch of building materials. But if you don't want to be greedy,  is fake.  The fat man didn't want to let go of the entire basket. Thinking of this, the fat man hesitated and said, "I want all these fruits." Zhang Debing snorted coldly and said, "Man, if people's hearts are not enough, you have to be able to eat them."  Okay! Don¡¯t let your stomach burst.¡± The fat man looked at the group of people carefully again. The corners of his eyes were twitching. Should he grab this batch of fruits by normal means?  The energy sensor hidden on the fat man did not vibrate. Logically speaking, these people should be ordinary humans, but can ordinary humans grow fruits?  And can you bring the fruit across the sand sea to Xicheng?  This doesn't make sense.  An evolver behind him suddenly cursed: "Fuck you, you are so full of stomach. Our building materials are more expensive than your rotten fruits. I would pity you if I trade them with you."?I'll get rid of you all!  ¡± Fatty suddenly thought and decided to test the strength of Chu Xiang and others. Therefore, he did not object to the provocation of his subordinates, but he also did not expressly support it. He just stared at Chu Xiang to see how he would deal with it, and did not see the other party.  No matter how he moved, the energy sensor hidden in his waist suddenly vibrated, and the vibration became stronger and stronger. The muscles in his pocket were a little painful. The fat man reached out and took out the sensor. The evolver behind him also had several sensors.  The instrument was vibrating like the fat man. When he took it into his hand, he saw that the pointer of the energy sensor instrument was rising rapidly, which indicated that there was strong evolutionary energy nearby. The fat man looked behind him and then looked at the thing in front of him.  Chu Xiang, "You, are you becoming an evolver?  "The fat man was not sure. After all, the energy sensor was still motionless before. If his instrument was not broken, then the other party could hide the energy! Chu Xiang sneered: "What do you think?  " Click, the pointer on the instrument had reached the end and was blocked, but the strong reaction caused the force on the pointer to continue to strengthen, and it broke with a snap. The fat man and all the evolvers were all shocked. Damn, if this wasn't super  "Level 1 definitely doesn't have this strength!" The fat man changed his smile as if he had changed his face, threw away the broken sensor in his hand, then raised his hand and said to Chu Xiang: "Sorry, sorry.  In Dachuan next week, I don¡¯t know what to call my brother?  " Chu Xiang said: "My surname is Chu. I will give you a thousand pings of fruit. Do you want to exchange it or not?  " One thousand kilograms of fruit should be seven baskets. The value is far beyond the fat man's bottom line. If the fruit can be disposed of smoothly, he will definitely make a profit this time. The fat man can only agree without daring to take it by force. "  Change!  "
