The day Fang Qingdai finished organizing all the books, the Oasis Base's security management and punishment team was also established.
Referring to the security management regulations of other bases, and drawing on some 21st-century security laws, Fang Qingdai drafted an initial security management law after several discussions.
Then they selected ten initial members and chose an empty palace as the security team's office.
Mao Yun serves as the captain of the security team. They are required to patrol the territory currently occupied by the base every day to ensure security, and also to resolve frictions and disputes among base members.
The base has just been established. Although there are three factions within the base, the total population is not large. In addition, with the leaders of the three factions in charge, there is very little friction among the team members.
Even if problems occasionally arise, they are just misunderstandings like Huang Guang**'s yesterday, and the security team can find out the reason and mediate.
In addition, the oasis environment isolates people from the outside world, and the animals in the oasis have a low degree of mutation, so the security team is relatively relaxed.
But the idle security team leader quickly found new jobs for Fang Qingdai and Jing Yi.
"Although the animals in the oasis have a low mutation rate, we still cannot let our guard down in building the walls. The walls are the last line of defense for the base. Sooner or later we will need to make contact with the outside world, and outsiders will come. If the walls are weak, we really cannot feel at ease!"
Fang Qingdai rubbed her head; she was well aware that the base's walls were currently weak.
The walls of the other major bases are all exceptionally sturdy. The walls of the Xuanwu base are 48 meters high and 6 meters thick, and can support the movement of artillery vehicles.
Furthermore, their city walls are reinforced with electric fences and equipped with jammers to remotely drive away monsters. While this doesn't guarantee complete removal, it reduces the risk of being besieged by a monster horde.
The Oasis Base is based on an abandoned palace complex. After the palace complex was restored, the scattered buildings were enclosed, covering an area of twelve square kilometers.
The main city of Xuanwu Base is only eight square kilometers.
It's not that there are few people at the Xuanwu Base, it's just that there are few people with superpowers.
Ordinary people don't even have the right to enter the base!
However, Fang Qingdai's side accepts non-superpowered individuals, so the base may not have enough room in the future.
Originally, Fang Qingdai wanted to delay and decide on the scope of the city wall based on the development situation, but now that the security captain had urged her, she also felt that what he said made sense.
Security is indeed a top priority and cannot be delayed. We can expand later if we don't have enough space in our territory.
She had become a little careless because she was taking advantage of the surrounding greenery for cover.
With this in mind, Fang Qingdai had no choice but to prioritize safety, and immediately started other projects after finishing one.
After discussing the matter with Jing Yi, the three of them concluded that the main problem was a lack of manpower.
Currently, there are a total of 26 earth-type ability users in the base, which is considered a relatively high percentage.
They accepted the construction of the Oasis Base as soon as they arrived, and so far they have only renovated the main palaces where people live. The more distant areas are left empty and have not yet been repaired.
We've just freed up some manpower to build a wall, but it's mainly to demarcate the area; we haven't started raising or widening it yet.
Mao Yun became worried about security after seeing the fragile wall during his patrol.
After thinking for a moment, Fang Qingdai said, "Let's first raise and widen the walls of the main residential area, and then gradually expand outwards. Our base covers a large area, and we can't keep up with the manpower to fence it off all at once."
"We'll allocate some more manpower to build up the defenses of the main areas first, and the rest of the construction teams will gradually complete the work."
The planting business at the base is just starting out, and Zhang Xin can manage it all by herself. If we assign her a water-based ability user, that would be enough to manage those few acres of land.
Other wood-type ability users can be temporarily reassigned to build the city walls, and metal-type users are also the main force in building the city walls.
Other tasks will have to be taken on by fire-type ability users for now.
To speed up the construction of the wall, Fang Qingdai suggested finding several machines to assist.
Otherwise, relying solely on earth-type ability users, it would take forever to build.
Fortunately, the technicians at the base were able to build excavators, and there were enough parts. Fang Qingdai issued the task and then began to consider the population issue.
We can't just transfer employees from other places every time there's an urgent need for manpower.
From now on, everyone will have their own area of responsibility. If we pull people out, other things will have to come to a standstill.
Fang Qingdai decided that she still needed to transfer some people from Xiao Mao's side.
The Xuanwu base should only leave Xiao Mao and the people they are used to; the more people there are, the harder it will be to evacuate later.
Other peripheral locations, but those that are trustworthy, such as the team members who went on the mission to the contaminated area together last time, can come over one after another.
Fang Qingdai left the base's signal jamming range and made contact with Xiao Mao.
The two sides agreed on a time. Xiao Mao accepted a high-risk mission and led his team away from Xuanwu Base. He would leave one or two people behind and return to claim that the team members had died during the mission.
Every day, personnel die on missions at the base. Their bodies are never found in the wasteland, and the base doesn't bother to investigate. The captain goes back, reports it, and deletes the personnel records from the base, and that's it.
The reason that organization was able to grow so large and powerful was because the wasteland base disregarded human life; missing persons could be closed off as if they had died on a mission.
Fang Qingdai went back and told Jing Yi about it. Jing Yi pondered for a while and then suddenly said, "If you are short of manpower, I know a place that can recruit people."
Fang Qingdai looked at him suspiciously, thinking that he had left someone behind at the Vermilion Bird Base.
Jing Yi said, "At the border between the Vermilion Bird Base and the Black Tortoise Base, there is a small private base where the people living there are the descendants of the previous Vermilion Bird Base leader who failed to seize power."
"The defeated leader retreated with his confidants to the border between the two bases. Unwilling to seek refuge with other bases, he chose to live in that no-man's-land."
“I’ve had contact with them a few times before. Their leader has been dead for more than ten years. The current leader is not very capable and has no ambition to take back the Suzaku base. He is leading the people to guard a small private base and is having a hard time.”
“During our last contact, I heard that they were considering merging into other bases because they couldn’t hold on any longer. If they haven’t made a decision yet, we should be able to bring them back if we take the initiative to invite them.”
Fang Qingdai became interested upon hearing this.
The faction does not belong to any base. The current leader has no great ambitions. Although his abilities are not as good as the previous leader, he has managed to lead the remaining people for more than ten years, so he is not useless.
You can try contacting them.
It just so happens that Xiao Mao and his team are on a mission near the edge of the Xuanwu Base, close to the Zhuque Base. Fang Qingdai immediately decided to meet up with Xiao Mao and his team, and at the same time, go and see the group that Jing Yi mentioned.
If possible, invite them to join.
