Chapter 220 Welcome
After the construction of the city wall is completed, there will be a huge "yard" on the outside, which requires a lot of manpower to complete.
His plan is to divide the yard into several areas, first of all, farmland. As the population grows, more food sources are needed in the base. Crops are the first priority, and as much wasteland must be reclaimed as possible. After all, the population is growing. The next recruitment of survivors should usher in a new outbreak.
More residential buildings need to be built. The current base is already overcrowded. There are currently two options.
One is to move the facilities in the base outside, such as livestock sheds, greenhouses, garages, etc., and then use these original places to build more dormitories to accommodate more survivors.
The other is to temporarily leave the base alone and build dormitories directly outside to place the new survivors outside.
However, after careful consideration, Lu Jiayi felt that this was not good. First of all, livestock were susceptible to some diseases, some of which were even threatening to humans, so relocating animals was currently the best option.
Moreover, people have their own ideas. Raising livestock within the city walls but not allowing them to live in them will easily give rise to ideas over time and even accelerate class struggle in the base.
There is also the matter of sustainable development. In this regard, we must consider some relatively long-term things. Take energy as an example. As we all know, although gasoline can be stored longer than it actually is, there will always be a day when it deteriorates. At that time, the energy in the base will will be affected.
Everything else is fine, but the most important thing is the laboratory, where power is absolutely not allowed to be cut off.
In terms of weapons and ammunition, it is obvious that CRM and the Federation already have the ability to manufacture ammunition, and they must solve this problem as soon as possible.
Now there are talents who are proficient in manufacturing. What is lacking is just the manufacturing equipment. This matter must be put on the agenda as soon as possible.
There are also some infrastructures, such as more water wells and more agricultural facilities. They have a large number of livestock. These animals must be used as soon as possible. They cannot just be used for food. Short distances can be traveled by horseback, and farmland can also be used. Cattle can be used, and chickens and ducks can be released after the fence is built.
Anyway, the purpose of everything is to create Ideal Town’s own ecosystem, and slowly build it into such a stable and sustainable doomsday town over time. Only by laying a solid foundation can we move towards greater goals.
If you want to create such an ecosystem, you will inevitably have to solve some detailed problems, such as the circulation system in the base.
Small aspects such as human and livestock excrement, domestic garbage, some minor illnesses such as headaches and fever, and even mosquitoes in summer.
The more such small details, the easier it is to cause big problems. It will take time to solve these problems, which involves the construction of many facilities, such as septic tanks, garbage removal, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, etc.
There are more major aspects to consider, such as the water cycle. This water cycle is not the natural water cycle, but the water cycle of the base. As we all know, well water can be directly used, and the surrounding soil is the best filter.
However, not all the current water used in the base is well water. There is a small stream next to the base, which is also the reason for the emergence of the moat. In the past, water was always taken from the moat, so the establishment of a filtration system also needs to be put on the agenda. A water tower should be built inside the base to facilitate daily water use.
Of course, there are other aspects that need to be improved, and this needs to be improved gradually in the future. You can't become fat after eating one bite.
The last thing mentioned are some of Lu Jiayi's weird ideas, one of which is about the utilization of the largest resource at present.
Walking corpse!
That's right, it's the walking dead.
In the original play, almost all communities regard the walking dead as a scourge and are afraid to avoid them. However, Lu Jiayi feels that as long as they are used properly, the walking dead are actually the biggest resource in the apocalypse.
The walking corpse has three good things: labor, biogas, and compost material.
It’s hard to imagine why these beautiful Chinese people don’t make use of such an important resource and just abandon it.
As a kind of existence like a perpetual motion machine, walking corpses can be used to do some heavy labor, or even to generate electricity. All that is needed is to put a few more gears or pulleys.
Cut off the arm of the zombie, pull out the teeth, and hang a bell on the front, just like a donkey pulling a mill, such a simple thing.
Biogas is also a very good renewable energy source. Since zombies can rot, it means that microorganisms also play a role. Clean energy can be obtained by cutting them into pieces and throwing them directly into the biogas pool.
If it can produce biogas, it can naturally be composted. Of course, Ideal Town has been doing composting for a long time, but now it just wants to increase the scale.
People looked at the content written on the information carefully, sometimes screaming, sometimes clapping in admiration. The originally boring plan now seemed wonderful, making everyone look particularly fascinated.
But they also understood why the captain looked so distressed when they entered the room. There were so many things to do, so it would be strange not to be distressed.
But it’s all for the base, and to make everyone’s life better and better, no matter how difficult it is, we have to do it.
Seeing that everyone had basically finished reading, Lu Jiayi also sat upright.
"Everyone has seen it, now let's talk about your opinions."
…
After some negotiations, a detailed development direction was drawn up. Seeing everyone present looking full of enthusiasm, he knocked on the table.
"Okay, the next development blueprint is tentatively as follows. We will improve as we go, and the tasks have been handed out. Everyone will be busy starting tomorrow."
Everyone responded, but one person hesitated to speak. Just as he was about to raise his hand to signal, he heard Lu Jiayi speak again.
"Well, I have to go out first tomorrow. Daryl will ask two people to go out with me tomorrow. Negan, T-boy, you two will also follow. Okay, that's it, let's go to dinner, it will be held tonight The food at the welcome party was very good. ”
"Oh oh oh!"
Everyone dispersed in a hurry. A small stage had been set up in the square outside, and various barbecue racks were also set up.
Food in the base is not in short supply now, but it is not rich enough to make wine. However, it cannot stop the enthusiasm of these people. The team members plundered all kinds of wine from the corners of the city, which was enough for the people in the base to squander for a while.
However, the control at the base is usually strict. Drinking alcohol should not affect work, and drinking alcohol is strictly prohibited for those who go out.
Only when you encounter a scene like today can you enjoy a drink, provided you don't look at Aji's face.
Several musical instruments were placed on the stage, and several team members even carried a piano out of the room.
When everyone walked to the courtyard, it was already dark. The courtyard was also surrounded by thousands of people, and even the surrounding walls were full of people.
It was the first time for newcomers like Ezekiel to see such a large-scale event held in the base, and they were directly frightened by the scene.
Their original team had the largest number of people, namely Dekman's one hundred people, and there were dozens of others, and Negan's team only had more than twenty people.
It had been a long time since they had seen thousands of people gathered together.
