Zhao Feng's main point here is that there's strength in numbers.
A dozen craftsmen worked together to conduct on-site surveys and planning, and completed the blueprints for the post station in a short time. Zhao Feng glanced at the blueprints and found that it was a three-story building, containing accommodation, dining, bathing facilities, and various formal leisure and entertainment facilities. There was no way around it; Zhang Shi had electricity, a unique advantage that allowed him to use many modern furniture and amenities.
Zhao Feng was quite satisfied with the craftsmen's plans and immediately decided to start construction according to the blueprints. The soldiers received the mobilization order and immediately came to the port to begin construction. Zhang Shi had all kinds of building materials readily available. The construction in the wilderness world had been simplified, making it simple and labor-saving in practice. In just one afternoon, the post station had taken shape. Zhao Feng was very satisfied with this and ordered people to spread a layer of sand on the north shore to create an artificial beach, creating the atmosphere of a seaside resort.
Seeing Zhao Feng's high efficiency, Zhang Shi estimated that the post station would be completed in about two days, and began to silently plan how to fill in the contents of the post station.
"Clothing, food, housing, and transportation."
Zhang Shi muttered to himself, already having a clear direction in mind.
First and foremost, the primary function of a rest stop is accommodation, which is essential. Moreover, it must be high-end and sophisticated, in stark contrast to the rough and rudimentary conditions of most shelters, in order to stimulate survivors to spend money there.
"We need to get several large beds that can restore energy, and the bedding and pillows should have special effects. The room should be well-lit, and we should also invest in the interior decoration."
Zhang Shi pondered, a shrewd glint in his eyes. He knew all too well how tempting a place offering comfortable accommodation and a safe environment would be for an exhausted survivor in this wilderness full of unknowns and challenges.
"Besides accommodation, food should not be overlooked."
He muttered to himself, already conjuring up images of delicious food in his mind.
"We need to open several restaurants with different styles, including high-calorie fast food to meet the survivors' need to quickly recover their strength, as well as exquisite cuisine. The food should be of high quality so that people can improve their attributes and strengthen their physique while enjoying delicious food."
At this point, Zhang Shi couldn't help but swallow, as if he could already smell the aroma of those delicious foods. He continued planning, ensuring that the bathing facilities were of the highest quality, with hot water available 24 hours a day and various soothing aromatherapy products, so that people could completely relax after a busy and dangerous time.
As for leisure and entertainment activities, Zhang Shi is very confident. He plans to set up a small library, collecting books on wilderness survival skills, historical knowledge, and inspirational stories, so that survivors can learn new knowledge and find spiritual comfort. He also plans to build a gym, equipped with a full range of fitness equipment, to encourage everyone to exercise and maintain their best condition even during rest periods.
In addition, Zhang Shi also considered the need for social interaction. He plans to set up a public rest area next to the rest stop, providing board games, card games, and even hosting regular gatherings, so that survivors from different places can have the opportunity to exchange experiences, build friendships, and create a warm community atmosphere.
As for clothing, in this day and age, nothing can compare to a set of sturdy armor. Zhang Shi plans to sell a limited number of the high-quality armor crafted by the artisans near the post station, and even develop it into a commercial street, selling his surplus resources to the public. He could even provide a platform for other survivors to set up stalls for a fee, attracting more survivors to visit.
Thinking of all this, Zhang Shi couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. He knew that such a post station was not just a place that provided basic living services, but also a place where people could find a sense of belonging, hope, and dreams. As long as people were willing to come, he wouldn't have to worry about making money.
As evening fell, Zhang Shi and Wu Qing strolled along the beach, leaning on each other. A cool sea breeze blew by, and the setting sun and clouds created a beautiful picture that was breathtaking.
Tired from walking, the two took out beach chairs and lay down, quietly savoring a brief moment of peace.
Wu Qing looked at Zhang Shi, who was taking a nap with his eyes half-closed, and spoke softly, reminiscing about the past.
“I have traveled to the Mediterranean and seen the beaches and sea there, but they pale in comparison to this scenery.”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Shi opened his eyes, reached out to help Wu Qing tidy up her stray hairs, and then pointed to Zhao Feng's team, who were still working hard behind him.
"How can there be any comparison? This is something we've put our heart and soul into making, and with the added enhancement of the Wilderness World, it's impeccable in both quality and appearance."
Zhang Shi looked back at the soldiers working diligently in the setting sun, then turned to Wu Qing and laid out his entire plan.
"Is this approach feasible? Could you give me some advice and see if there's anything I've overlooked?"
Wu Qing nodded, quite agreeing with Zhang Shi's idea. Then, recalling the commercial structure near the beach in the real world, she thought of a facility they lacked.
"Bars! Survivors who come here to relax need drinks. For survivors who have been in a constant survival crisis, drinks are undoubtedly the simplest and cheapest way to relieve stress!"
These words were like a wake-up call. Zhang Shi sat up abruptly. "How come I didn't think of that?" He kissed Wu Qing on the cheek and then jogged off to the research center to find someone who knew how to brew wine.
The research center was bustling with activity, filled not only with craftsmen and engineers inventing and manufacturing the products, but also with many ordinary soldiers helping out. Everyone was working diligently, and the entire building was filled with the noisy sounds of hammers striking each other.
Zhang Shi jumped onto a table, clapped his hands, and shouted loudly.
"Put aside what you're doing. Is there anyone here who knows how to brew wine or understands the brewing process?"
Upon seeing Zhang Shi's arrival, the people in the research center immediately obeyed the order and remained silent. They looked at each other, and the entire research center fell into complete silence.
Seeing that the research center didn't seem to have the person he was looking for, Zhang Shi was somewhat discouraged. He then waved his hand, signaling everyone to return to their respective posts.
"Um, Mr. Zhang Shi, I only know a little bit about brewing."
Suddenly, a voice reached Zhang Shi's ears. Zhang Shi turned his head and saw that the speaker looked somewhat familiar. After thinking carefully, he realized that this person was Fatty, a mid-level cadre of the Dragon Tiger Alliance. Ever since he was captured in the battle at the transit station, Fatty's wristwatch had been confiscated, and he had been forced to work between the mining area and the research center. Unexpectedly, Fatty claimed to know how to brew wine.
