After all, it took several days to collect the materials, and even with a cart, it would take more than one trip to move them all.
Qiao Xuejun was in charge of the building materials for her greenhouse and the horses.
With the help of someone specially assigned to help her, the materials were quickly brought to the mountain.
Shelves with suitable heights were selected and moved into the greenhouse, and plastic baskets were placed on the shelves. When the time comes, spinach can be planted directly in the baskets.
The shelves have four layers, which is equivalent to growing eight acres of spinach, which is enough to supply the base.
We still need the tarpaulin for the greenhouse, so Sister Li needs to help.
The whole day was busy. In addition to the supplies, the most important thing was the survivors brought back. It was not an easy task to accommodate more than a thousand people in the base.
Even cooking requires twice as much manpower and time.
It’s just that the base is big enough, so there’s no problem with accommodation.
Looking at the appearance of the base, many survivors from the city were moved to tears.
“What a huge base.”
"Finally I don't have to live in the ocean anymore. I'm tired of waking up to the smell of fish every day!"
However, some people who were already skeptical felt that the base was different from what they imagined: "It's actually in the mountains... in the wilderness, sea monsters can come whenever they want? Can people live here?"
After hearing the survivors' discussion, Kobayashi, who was in charge of logistics coordination for them, did not give much explanation and just took them up the mountain.
After walking only a few steps, everyone saw a patch of purple flowers swaying at the foot of the mountain and a tall belt of flowers.
It is like a purple scarf, surrounding the forest with no end in sight.
Some people were surprised: "What kind of flower is this? It can grow in such cold weather! I've never seen one before! It's as tall as a sunflower!"
But this is certainly not a sunflower.
Xiao Lin and the soldiers responsible for maintaining order began to educate them: "This is a purple flower belt. Each bunch of flowers is one meter apart, so people can pass through. You must be careful when passing through, and don't touch the flowers. If you do, they are poisonous and can paralyze the sea monster."
The survivors carefully followed the instructions and passed through the gaps between the purple flowers without touching them. After passing through, they couldn't help but sigh: "What an experience! This is the first time I've seen something like this."
Further inside is a solid defensive stone wall.
Everyone looked up and reached out to touch it: "It's so high!"
It is estimated to be four or five meters high and very thick, with black or gray stones stacked up and mud filling the gaps. It has a primitive and wild beauty.
The weather is cold now, and the stone wall is still covered with a layer of ice, which looks very solid. It can stop sea monsters.
Further in, there is a high-voltage power grid, which, once powered on, will deal a fatal blow to intruders.
Tight protection.
The further they walked in, the more dumbfounded they became: "Was this originally a military base?"
There are many steel sentry posts along the road. Some of the sentry posts have small windows with black gun muzzles sticking out, indicating that there are troops deployed inside.
The outposts are evenly distributed and the distances between them are very close, with one almost every hundred meters.
Xiao Lin, who was in charge of arranging their logistics, smiled and said, "How could that be possible? When we first came here, this was almost a barren mountain with nothing. The poisonous flower protection belt below was planted by our teacher Qiao and his men."
"It took us almost two months to build the stone wall and the electric wall, and it took Deputy Engineer Zhao and most of the people in the base nearly two months to build it."
"These outposts were built not long ago, and they were not so densely packed before."
Xiao Lin said with deep emotion: "We built everything up brick by brick and stone by stone to get to where we are today."
The traces of human survival here are very obvious. It doesn't look like a barren mountain at all, but more like a human settlement.
The survivors looked left and right and could see some defensive arrangements and traps against sea monsters installed on the road.
For example, the mace placed across the branches of two trees in front is too high for a human to pass through, but if a tall sea monster hits it, wouldn't it be a disaster?
No matter how you look at it, this feels so safe!
"I told you, this is the right choice!" The team became more and more excited, and some people began to emphasize the correctness of their decision to their family members who had originally questioned it.
Isn’t this the right choice!
It would be really hard to die if you lived in this base.
They walked up and reached the top of the mountain.
The most spectacular thing about the base is the huge rain collector on the top of the mountain, which looks like an iron pot. It can solve part of the daily water needs, and part of it needs to be introduced from the outside.
Walking up, there was a cave entrance, or a cave door, at the top of the mountain.
The cave door is now closed, and you can see how heavy and solid the door is. It is made of steel, not stone.
There are still some mottled impact marks on the steel.
Xiao Lin introduced: "These are our military-grade defensive building materials, which can withstand the attacks of sea monsters! So far, they have withstood more than ten attacks by sea monsters!"
The steel cave doors moved aside on both sides, welcoming them inside.
warmth.
This was everyone's first feeling. The temperature outside was about 20 to 30 degrees below zero, but after entering, the whole person seemed to be warmed up, and the indoor temperature should not be lower than zero.
"There's still a light here!" They looked up at the light bulb on the ceiling.
This kind of household appliance, which was very common before the natural disaster, is now a luxury. They themselves cannot even use electric lights in the city.
The base structure in the cave is also very ingenious and is divided into several areas.
They looked around like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden.
"Who said this base is bad? This base is so good. I won't want to leave once I move in!"
Imagine, there might be a heavy snowstorm in a while, but they can live in such a mountain base that is as solid as a turtle shell.
Close the door and isolate yourself from the world!
What else is there to be dissatisfied about!
These are the living conditions. As for food, most people don’t know what the food is like in the First Base. Even if a menu was introduced during the initial recruitment, only a few people believed it.
Just like when recruiting, if they say the salary is between 2,000 and 10,000, don't expect to get 10,000, it will definitely be 2,000.
It's the same now. The base says there are potatoes, biscuits, pumpkins, corn, and compressed dry food - they may not be able to eat them. Maybe only the top leaders eat such rich food.
Xiao Lin: "Let's go to the dormitory first, and then come out to eat after we're settled in. It's time for dinner."
