Ye Ming watched the two of them nibble on the cake, and touched his bloated stomach, feeling regretful. He couldn't eat another bite now.
Seeing the two of them eating with gusto, Ye Ming suddenly interrupted with a muffled voice: "What should we do about Grandpa? Should we wait until he wakes up?"
Yu Wei's mouth was full of cake, and she responded vaguely: "Yes, the weather outside is too bad now. We can't move. We can only wait for grandpa to wake up and then discuss the next step. It also depends on his own wishes."
Xiao Yi asked about something else: "Do you have any ideas? Do you want to go to the underground shelter to find your parents?"
When Ye Ming heard Xiao Yi's question, he subconsciously asked back, "Don't you want to go?" After thinking about it, he realized that with Xiao Yi and Yu Wei's current abilities, there really was no need to crowd into the underground shelter. He simply said, "I'm not sure either. Maybe we should wait until Grandpa wakes up and see what he thinks."
Xiao Yi nodded, his deep eyes flashing with worry: "The tranquility of the base will not last long. The zombie army and alien races outside are probably sharpening their claws and eyeing us covetously. In this vast land of China, when we evacuated urgently, people from other bases probably also established their own forces on this nearby land."
He paused, his tone revealing worry about the future. "If what we saw earlier is true, then the only continent left on the entire Blue Planet is this one, above sea level. When the weather warms up, no one can live at sea forever. Internal and external struggles will never cease. I personally don't want to be drawn into such a battle, nor do I really want to be used as a pawn by others. Do you understand?"
Ye Ming deeply understood Xiao Yi's worries. Their special operations team had carried out many missions and encountered various dangers such as food and grass being cut off and supplies being leaked. Although Ye Ming had not experienced it personally, the shadow of these things was deeply shrouded in his heart. He understood that the road ahead would not be easy, and only by being fully prepared could he face the upcoming challenges.
In this world rife with danger, everyone is groping in the dark, searching for their own destiny and path forward. For Xiao Yi, the road ahead is not smooth, the unknowns shrouded in a thick fog that obscures his vision. Yet, in these precarious times, he refuses to be constrained or restrained. He longs for freedom, for control of his own destiny.
Yu Wei also has the same idea. She doesn’t want her life to be controlled by others. She wants to find her own future.
Ye Ming sensed some strange emotions in the two people's words. He asked tentatively, "Do you want to leave here? Is it just the two of you? Or do you have other companions?"
When Xiao Yi heard this question, he just smiled faintly and did not answer. He knew very well that some things should not be easily revealed when they are not fully prepared. He trusted Ye Ming, but in this world full of variables, he had to remain vigilant.
This scene makes one ponder: in this crisis-ridden world, people are struggling for their future. They yearn for freedom and control of their own destiny. In this process, the contradictions between trust and betrayal, ideals and reality, become increasingly prominent.
However, Yu Wei and Xiao Yi didn't proceed with their plans in secret. Instead, they openly studied, researched, and prepared. Together, they prepared for their future shelter. In this apocalyptic environment, they understood that structural stability, spaciousness, and thermal insulation were crucial. Both low and high temperatures required careful consideration. Furthermore, the elevation and ruggedness of the terrain were crucial factors to better protect against large-scale zombie attacks. Yu Wei had been actively studying the relevant information these days, her passion burning as she continuously enriched her knowledge. She knew that only thorough preparation could ensure survival in this apocalyptic world. Her dedication and perseverance deeply impressed both Xiao Yi and Ye Ming. Having met these requirements, Xiao Yi set his sights on the hazy mountain silhouette in the distance. It was one of the outer ranges of Blue Planet's highest peak. Stretching for miles, it had previously been considered a restricted area for China.
Xiao Yi had also suspected that the base should be built there before. After all, most of the incredible rumors in China came from that mountain range.
The two men had basically decided that building a large base wasn't practical, so they decided to learn from the principles of voles digging holes and dig holes in the mountain to connect them in all directions, which would be more convenient. However, before doing so, they still had to make sufficient preparations.
The first thing is to fully understand the geological structure. Before digging a cave, you need to understand the structure and geology of the mountain, including the type, hardness, and cracks of the rock. This will help determine the difficulty and safety of the excavation.
Next, choose the appropriate tools. Based on the geological structure and rock hardness, choose appropriate excavation tools, such as drilling machines and blasting equipment. Ensure the quality and applicability of the tools to ensure the smooth progress of the excavation work. Or match the corresponding special ability.
When digging a cave, it is necessary to maintain good ventilation to avoid air stagnation that may lead to oxygen deficiency or other safety hazards. Ventilation can be ensured by setting up vents or using natural ventilation.
At the same time, during the excavation process, attention should be paid to preventing dangerous situations such as landslides and rock falls. Measures such as reinforcing supports and setting up protective nets can be taken to ensure safety.
Next, drainage should be handled. During the excavation process, attention should be paid to drainage. Drainage ditches or drainage pipes can be set up to divert water out of the hole to prevent water accumulation from affecting the living environment.
Finally, the living environment should be considered. When digging a cave, the comfort and safety of the living environment should be considered. Appropriate lighting, ventilation, heating and other facilities can be set up to ensure the comfort and safety of the living environment.
At the same time, the choice of location and direction is also crucial. There is a close relationship between the composition and stability of the mountain rock.
First, the mineral composition and structural structure of rocks play a major role in their engineering geological properties. Generally, rock slopes with high strength are also more stable, while rock slopes with developed foliation and bedding are relatively less stable.
Secondly, rock mass structure is also an important factor affecting slope stability. The failure of slope rock mass is mainly controlled by the discontinuity surface (structural surface) in the rock mass. The rock mass structural factors that affect slope stability mainly include the following aspects:
The higher the degree of development of the structural surface, the worse the integrity of the rock and the worse its mechanical properties, which in turn affects the stability of the slope.
Moreover, the greater the inclination angle of the structural surface, the easier it is for the rock mass to slide along the structural surface, thus affecting the stability of the slope.
The lower the shear strength of the corresponding structural surface, the easier it is for the rock mass to slide along the structural surface, thus affecting the stability of the slope.
In addition, groundwater is also one of the important factors affecting the stability of mountain rocks. Groundwater can change the physical and mechanical properties of rocks, thereby affecting the stability of rocks and slopes.
