Chapter 61 Base Site Selection
The troops and survivors went out to destroy zombies and collect supplies, but Ye Fan did not follow him after giving the order.
The radar screen has already reflected everything in Chengguan Town.
There are still 20,000 zombies here. With the current strength of a 100-man team, it can be defeated in two days. He does not need to go to the front line to command.
Ye Fan stayed at the police station and was discussing the construction of the base vehicle with four engineers.
Engineer Ka-shing Luo proposed a plan.
"Sir, the preliminary materials used for the base car have been determined. We currently need a large amount of steel. Please help us prepare 500 tons each and then create a warehouse for us. The length is not less than 80 meters and the width is not less than 50 meters, so that we can facilitate our construction."
"It takes such a large warehouse."
"Yes, you have to send troops to guard the warehouse and send no less than fifty soldiers to help us do some basic work, which can improve work efficiency."
"Okay, I understand, let's arrange it now."
Ye Fan really knows one such warehouse, and it is in Chengguan Town.
The grain warehouse located in Chengguan Town was originally used for the purpose of spreading grain and cleaning it out, but later the grain department began to streamline the organization in the recession, so the grain warehouse was contracted out.
But the private boss later went bankrupt and dealt with all the food, but there was nowhere to be found. Later, there were only two people in the grain warehouse who were guarding the door, and they were all abandoned.
There is no good solution yet, and the end of the world broke out.
In this case, this warehouse is a ready-made base car production warehouse.
As for steel, there are several nearby factories, which are estimated to be able to meet production needs.
Even if there is a lot of scrap for one thousand tons of steel, this base car is probably going to be very large.
He informed the troops that were preparing to start the war that the grain warehouse must be taken down today and the engineers must be stationed in and started construction.
Of course, there are many things needed, such as generators, lighting equipment, as well as some lathes and other metals, so that the troops can also pay attention to collecting them.
In Chengguan Town, you can find some small items here, use them first and get some detailed things out. If the troops are larger, he can go to a factory in the suburbs of Talingshui County.
Engineers must also be equipped with manpower, and survivors cannot participate in this kind of thing.
It is obviously not enough for a company to do so many things, so he wants to increase his troops as soon as possible.
The engineer asked to leave and probably would be able to enter the warehouse today to start working.
The construction of the base car is on track. If it goes well, Ye Fan will be able to see the car in half a month, and there will be an important task.
That is to determine where the base is built.
There is a map on the wall of the director's office, which is the topographic map of the province, which is very large and detailed.
Picking up the pen and drawing on the map, Ye Fan was looking for a suitable place to settle down.
It is impossible for the troops to be stationed in Chengguan Town all the time, and this place does not meet Ye Fan's requirements for establishing a base in all aspects.
The construction of the base has been studied for a long time, and Ye Fan finally sorted out his ideas today. In addition to requiring plains, it is best to have mining areas nearby.
Whether he searches for jewelry from zombies, collects it from residents' homes, or even goes to jewelry stores or banks in the future, it is actually temporary and cannot meet the development needs of the Red Alert.
He has learned from Nana that future physical buildings and things like tanks and aircraft are very expensive.
An armored vehicle is equipped with a driver and a machine gunner, and a tank may cost tens of thousands.
If it were a land war overlord like Apocalypse, he might not be able to get one if he had 10,000 or 20,000 yuan.
Physical buildings are even more expensive. For this question, he even asked Nana.
Nana's answer is that physical buildings are very large, and the charges of the Red Alarm System are not unreasonable and asking for prices. They are definitely much cheaper than normal construction. The construction period is very short and can be completed soon, but the charges will not be too cheap.
So while Ye Fan was trying to make money, mining was an important part of the source of funds.
It is located in the northern region, where there are mining areas, but few.
Having a mine is an option, and there must be a water source.
Now they use bottled water and buckets collected, and the water from the tap water plants in the city is no longer usable.
The water in the reservoir is not very clean, and it does not have any equipment to purify the water yet.
It is OK to choose a flowing area close to the river, and try to reach upstream as much as possible. This river does not flow through the city and the water source will not be too polluted.
Another reason is that it cannot be too remote.
There are few people and few zombies in remote places. Ye Fan's troops must be constantly trained to kill zombies before they can grow. He wants to build an elite legion of three-star soldiers, rather than a group of newly born starless soldiers.
At the same time, it is too difficult to find places that meet these requirements. Ye Fan looked at it and finally there were only two places in the province to choose from, one was close to the border of Rakshasa, with mines and plains, but the number of people was small.
Another one is a backing farm in the Sanjiang Plain. There is a gold mine nearby, but the gold reserves are not large.
The water of the Seven Star River passes through there, belonging to the source area of the upper reaches and does not flow through the city.
There are mines and water, but there are also disadvantages.
That is this plain, which belongs to the junction of the three cities.
To the south is an ice city, to the west is a coal city, and to the east is Huajiang City.
There are several scattered counties nearby, and the number of zombies is a little too large.
However, based on comprehensive measurement, Ye Fan thinks it is better to base himself on a farm with a backer. Although there are many zombies, the wall can be protected even if it is built.
"The strategic location can be attacked and defended when advancing. It is close to any city, and it is here!"
"We will relocate the base car after it is built. I should save some money in the past few days, and build the base wall defense first, and then take people away when I come back."
It is not possible to bring a large group of survivors to go over and start construction. After all, the Red Alert Wall needs to be built in advance and cannot appear out of thin air, so he must go over it himself.
Ye Fan picked up his pen, drew a check mark on the Kuangshan Farm on the map, and determined the base construction location.
According to his budget, he must save more than 100,000 units of money before he can consider building a base, and even 100,000 may not be able to do so.
"Time is tight and the task is heavy. I wonder how much rewards can today's battle bring to me?"
Listening to the echoing gunfire outside, the battle has been going on for several hours. The delivery truck has run back five or six times, and has brought back a lot of supplies, including grain, gasoline, medicine, clothes, and daily necessities. They are all piled up in the two newly developed houses next to it, which has become a temporary warehouse.
However, the gold has not been sent back yet, and I will definitely be able to advance to the battalion commander today, it depends on how much gold it is.
Just as she was thinking, Nana suddenly heard a reminder: "Sir, a supply box was found on the map, located at the town government building."
"Oh! Get it back for me immediately."
Ye Fan suddenly felt energetic and actually came out of the supply box to see what good goods could be given?
The second platoon leader Chen Ruihui was ordered to go, but ten minutes later, he asked Ye Fan to get into his perspective.
Ye Fan cut in and was stunned by the scene in front of him.
The picture is from the town government, and Ye Fan was the first time he saw the town government's building since the end of the world.
No other buildings have changed much, but this building has collapsed.
It's not an ordinary collapse, but something collapsed!
The troops walked into the ruins and felt the ground under their feet was charred.
After walking for a while, he saw a huge deep pit in the middle of the ruins.
The radar shows that the supply box is in the pit.
There is a green light spot, but there is also a red light spot that coincides with the green.
"Why is there a pit here?"
