Chapter 191 Just Do It
Now as an official affiliated base, with a total of 10,000 people registered, after the extreme heat, the daily fresh water consumption of the entire base does not exceed 20,000 tons.
By pre-apocalyptic standards, the amount of water distributed to each person was not much.
But compared to the official base headquarters which is extremely short of water, it is simply a luxury!
But according to the fresh water supply provided by the technicians, 20,000 tons of fresh water is not a large amount for the entire equipment factory.
After all, this is a place large enough to produce nearly 500,000 tons of fresh water every day.
The key point is where the remaining bulk of the market share is divided up.
Needless to say, the Su family occupies a part of it.
But Fu Hengyuan knew that the volume of water transported was only a thousand tons, and the water tankers did not go back and forth every day, so it was almost negligible.
As for the specific whereabouts, the employees in the factory said they did not know.
The business discussed above has never been passed by people like them. They only know that at a fixed time every day, there will be boats coming to fetch water.
Therefore, a large share of fresh water is divided up by bases or gangs from the sea.
Fu Hengyuan sent people to inquire about the situation at sea from the imprisoned Gu Guodong, but they had just been beaten up by Gu Yang and were still unconscious, so they could not be questioned.
This matter was put aside for the time being, and we went to look for the next place, the base warehouse.
The main body is a harbor warehouse located on the flat land near the sea on the east side of the equipment factory.
Probably because too many materials were acquired, a large number of high-rise warehouses were built later.
Combined with the mixed stacking of various types of container warehouses, a super-large base warehouse is formed today.
There is no network assistance after the apocalypse, so there are thousands of material management personnel in the warehouse alone.
It contains a wide variety of materials from home and abroad, which is very rich. Many things are not even comparable to those in the headquarters warehouse of the official base.
Many precious materials are packaged in warehouses with refrigeration and freezing functions. In the end times, it couldn't be more luxurious.
In addition to the ordinary material warehouses on the surface, there is also a weapons warehouse located underground that is locked with multiple layers of locks.
A large number of thermal weapons were imported, including heavy machine guns and cannons, as well as several helicopters and large drones, as well as energy materials such as aviation gasoline and diesel.
Fu Hengyuan guessed that the large amount of imported materials here were probably related to the trade of fresh water from the sea.
The Morning Light Base provides a huge amount of fresh water resources to the outside world in exchange for a large amount of food and weapons.
As a businessman, Gu Guodong is undoubtedly very successful. After all, fresh water is a scarce resource that even the government has to strive for.
But as a Chinese citizen and a father, Gu Guodong is very disappointing. 500,000 tons of water per day can save countless Chinese people, but he wants to sell it to other unknown countries and unknown bases at sea.
The Morning Light Base has a solid foundation, which allows senior officials to enjoy life very much, but the refugees who come here do not have a good life.
Apart from several thousand fishermen and indigenous people and a few wealthy people living in residential areas, the remaining more than 100,000 refugees were crowded in the woods in the west.
It was a dirty, messy shantytown.
Although the basic conditions of the third-level resettlement areas in the official base are not satisfactory, the shantytowns here are even worse, without even a decent bed.
Most people sew together rags such as curtains and bed sheets and tie them under a few trees. As long as the place can block the scorching sun, several families can live there.
Sleeping on the floor, no privacy, no gender, just being alive.
Fu Hengyuan led a group of people around the base warehouse for a full circle, and they didn't stop until dawn.
The sun was too strong during the day and it was not suitable for outdoor activities, so the schedule of patrolling the base was postponed until after dark.
The military vehicle had just dropped Fu Hengyuan and his group off at the downstairs of the hotel when someone came to report:
The large foreign water transport fleet coming to the port to fetch water has arrived, waiting for people to be sent over to receive them.
Fu Hengyuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Go tell them that from today on, China's fresh water will not be sold outside."
After saying that, he continued to walk towards the elevator inside the hotel. He hadn't slept for two days and had to catch up on some sleep as there might be a big commotion outside next.
The Gu siblings went to Mu Jiu first and reported to her what they had found out that night.
Mu Jiu had just woken up. She was still not used to sleeping in broad daylight. At this moment, she was eating breakfast while listening to the brother and sister analyzing the current situation of the subsidiary base.
This is Mu Jiu’s request to the brother and sister.
Since the subsidiary base will be fully handed over to the brother and sister to manage, we have to let them see, hear and do. Practice is the best training.
"Sister, we want to mobilize the refugees in the shantytowns. There is no shortage of water here, so we can grow food, vegetables and fruits on a large scale!
This way we can store more food for emergencies!" Gu Yang said first.
Mu Jiu nodded, "We can first draw up a feasible plan, including the specific land selection and personnel structure, etc.
Fu Hengyuan's people are busy stabilizing various places now, and probably can't spare the time to help you select people, so you have to figure it out on your own."
“Sister, I also want to select a group of technical personnel to participate in the construction of the shantytowns.
The trees here grow well and the wood is good in the extreme heat. How about using steel structures as a foundation to build a seaside wooden house for refugees in the shantytowns to live in?"
"Sister, I think the new batch of planting can bring in cotton. Clothing production in the apocalypse has been stopped for several years, and many old clothes can no longer be worn..."
The Gu siblings expressed a lot of ideas all at once. Mu Jiu didn't know that young people have so many expectations in their minds. She had suppressed them before.
"Just go for it, nothing is impossible." Mu Jiu gave the brother and sister a reassurance.
Everything was under control, but at noon, when the sun was at its hottest, a burst of cannon fire suddenly sounded on the sea...
What's going on?
Mu Jiu sat there without moving, her consciousness had already explored the sea through space.
The Gu siblings quickly ran to the window and looked out through the gaps in the thick curtains. They saw a large fleet of ships sailing on the sea under the scorching sun.
As they moved forward, they fired cannons at the shore as a demonstration.
But the firepower is undoubtedly greatly reduced compared to before the end of the world.
On the one hand, there is no precise control from the Internet and satellites, and on the other hand, there are restrictions on weapons and supplies.
After all, everyone has equally experienced the three-year-long extreme cold disaster, in which both population and industry and agriculture have been a process of consumption without any growth.
Countries close to the equator that are adapted to the heat will suffer more than those close to the poles, and the test on hardware facilities such as heating will be the most severe.
In the past, I don’t know how many countries have quietly disappeared in the long river of basketball history. Those who remain are undoubtedly the best.
In fact, even in China, which had a population of over one billion before the end of the world, the remaining population is less than 2 million, and most of them are at the headquarters of the official base.
Not to mention those countries that already had a sparse population before the end of the world, where even if an atomic bomb was dropped on them, it would probably not kill half a person.
"Where's Fu Hengyuan?"
