That afternoon, Wang Xi posted a new appointment report at the base.
[Nangong Wenyao appointed Minister of Construction...]
Upon seeing this appointment, everyone in the villa was filled with envy.
Because Nangong Wenyao had never made any contributions before, she did not receive a villa even after becoming the Minister of Engineering.
But everyone knows that it was only a matter of time.
Moreover, several other departments now need to cooperate with Nangong Wenyao's construction plans.
It can be said that during the planning and construction phase of the base, Nangong Wenyao jumped directly from an ordinary survivor to one of the most important people in the base.
All the men who were pursuing Nangong Wenyao were dumbfounded.
Originally, she was just an ordinary survivor in the base, but now she has become one of the base's top figures.
His status is even higher than that of his own team captain.
The base even assigned her a female security team member as a bodyguard.
How can we get close now?
How do I pursue her?
......
Nangong Wenyao's construction plan consists of four steps. The first step is to build the wall at the entrance of the valley.
Because the resort is surrounded by mountains on three sides, the only exit is at the mouth of the valley.
All we need to do is block that 100-meter-long section of the valley entrance with an eight-meter-high wall.
The vast open space of several thousand acres from the mountain villa to the valley entrance will all become safe territory within the base area.
In Nangong Wenyao's plan, the existing resort will become the core area of the base, which will be the future inner city.
The inner city expands outwards by several hundred meters, and these expanded areas will serve as the future factory sites.
The factory extends several hundred meters outwards to the valley entrance, which will be the place where new survivors will live in the future.
If the first step of this plan is completed, then as long as there is sufficient food, the base can easily support tens of thousands of people in the future.
Regarding Nangong Wenyao's proposal, a person in charge stated that the project was too massive.
With the current population of the base, such a large area of land is not needed at all, and it only increases the difficulty of management.
Some officials also suggested that preparations could be made in advance to plan ahead.
After all, given the current rate of population growth at the base, it's possible that in a few months, the base could have several thousand people.
The two sides were deadlocked at one point.
However, Jiang Wu agreed with Nangong Wenyao's idea.
Jiang Wu's idea was simple: to build a wall near the current base, which would be over a hundred meters long.
Even when the construction reached the valley entrance, which was nearly a kilometer away from the base, it still took hundreds of meters to complete.
Why not just build it all the way to the mouth of the valley?
This would free up several thousand acres of land and give the base more time to react.
If the valley entrance can't hold out, at least there will be time to retreat.
After Jiang Wu stated his opinion, the debate ended immediately.
The leader has given the order; just do as he says.
With the plan in place, the base began operating at full capacity.
Apart from a few necessary logistical support personnel who stayed at the base, all women with a bit of strength had to go to the valley entrance construction site to work as laborers.
However, they did not complain at all; instead, they chatted and laughed, looking forward to their new life after the new wall was built.
The wall is eight meters high, and the thickness of the single-sided reinforced concrete wall is more than 40 centimeters.
How could zombies possibly break through such a wall?
The logistics staff are working hard.
The field team has an even heavier workload.
Besides searching for survivors, they also searched everywhere for steel bars and cement.
no way.
The steel and cement salvaged from the site were insufficient to support the wall project.
Busy days always pass quickly.
Mid-October.
More than ten trucks and several Humvees serving as advance reconnaissance vehicles slowly drove out of the base, led by the Pioneer 1.
The targets this time were a cement plant 15 kilometers from the base and a town more than 40 kilometers away.
Sheng Huaiqiang learned from the survivors that there was a small steel bar processing plant in that town.
Even though the town has several thousand permanent residents, which could also mean several thousand zombies, Jiang Wu didn't care about anything else, all for the sake of this steel bar processing plant.
At worst, we can just go to the trouble of killing them all.
For this trip, Jiang Wu not only brought 60 field team members, but also recruited more than 40 reserve team members at the base, including both men and women.
The convoy had a total of over 100 people.
Recently, the total population of the base has reached more than 430 people.
Recruiting another 40 or so reserve members from here would be very easy.
......
The convoy drove out of the base, crossed nearly a kilometer of open space, and arrived at the mouth of the valley.
Jiang Wu sat in the passenger seat of the lead Pioneer 1, looking out the window with pride at everything before him.
The mouth of the valley, which is more than 100 meters wide, has become a large construction site.
A concrete pump truck stands tall with its delivery pipeline, while several other construction vehicles shuttle back and forth on the construction site.
Dozens of experienced construction workers wearing safety helmets were working hard on the towering scaffolding.
On the ground, nearly two hundred people were also busy working.
Female members of the security team patrolled the perimeter, ready to respond to any potential crises.
Bai Feiming stood with Nangong Wenyao on a high ground, smiling as they watched the convoy slowly drive away.
She actually preferred to act with Jiang Wu.
But she also knew that the base was in a phase of rapid development and could not afford to make any mistakes.
She has to stay at the base.
Once the convoy disappeared from sight, Bai Feiming said coolly, "Wen Yao, well done. You truly deserve to be a top student from Tongji University."
Nangong Wenyao said somewhat nervously, "Miss Bai, this isn't just my achievement. Other senior colleagues in the engineering department also put in a lot of effort. The final solution is a collective effort..."
