Then Shen Hu looked at the person next to him: "Why don't you say it?"
The person next to him nodded slightly: "President Lu, I am one of Shi Quan's men. My main responsibility is to accompany him to other newly developed areas to check the completeness of the equipment!"
The other person first introduced themselves, and Lu Yuan nodded slightly, waiting for them to continue.
"The thing is, aluminum refining requires a lot of electricity, but we haven't been able to send people to control the nuclear power plant. At the moment, these devices don't seem to be of much use to us. Should we just give up on them?"
Upon hearing that the other party was planning to give up, Lu Yuan frowned immediately: "Is there any other energy source that can replace it?"
After a moment of silence, the other party shook his head: "Such large-scale aluminum production equipment requires electricity. Currently, our main source of electricity is nuclear power plants. If the electricity problem is not solved, these machines are essentially just scrap metal!"
"Okay, I understand. I'll figure out a way to get the electricity!"
Then Lu Yuan turned to look at Shen Hu: "Brother Hu, you must be careful as you continue to expand outwards! And these super mutants are already spreading in the urban area. The zombie virus probably won't be resolved anytime soon, and I don't know what will happen in the urban area."
I just received word that their next move might be to abandon the industrial zone and then seal off the entire urban area, so we need to speed things up! Expand our territory as much as possible!
Seeing Lu Yuan's solemn expression, Shen Hu also put away his smile: "Alright, I understand. Leave this to me!"
After seeing the two off, Lu Yuan fell silent. He had never paid much attention to the energy issue, since he had stored a large amount of gasoline and diesel in the dimensional space, and the electricity consumption inside was not very high.
However, he had overlooked the power consumption of some high-power-consuming devices. Now that this problem was on the table, Lu Yuan suddenly felt it was very troublesome.
"Energy! Energy! Right now, the only energy source we have underground is nuclear power. If nuclear power gets out of control, it will be a real problem. If a major blackout happens, then our work will become even more difficult!"
Lu Yuan paced back and forth in his office with his hands behind his back, his mind constantly swirling with thoughts of how to find new energy sources.
Suddenly, he thought of dimensional space.
"That's right. With such a vast area in the dimensional space, there must be some energy sources. In that case, why don't I just see if I can find new energy sources in the dimensional space?"
Upon thinking of this, Lu Yuan's heart stirred, and the next second he was back in the dimensional space.
The family members have already assigned tasks: some are responsible for reclaiming wasteland, others for cultivating fruit trees, and they are basically not neglecting either animal husbandry or planting.
Moreover, they are already stockpiling food in large quantities to ensure a sufficient food supply when a large influx of refugees arrives.
When Lu's father saw Lu Yuan return while he was rummaging through the floor, he was taken aback: "Why are you back again? Is something wrong?"
Lu Yuan nodded slightly: "Energy crisis. Electricity is a rather thorny issue right now. I have to find a way to solve this problem. The nuclear power plant in the industrial zone could face a crisis at any time, so energy matters must be put on the agenda. I almost forgot about this. I was careless!"
"Hey! We have pretty much land here, why don't we go and take charge of finding new energy sources!"
Lu Yuan glanced at his father, then shook his head: "Forget it, you all have a lot of work to do right now. I'll handle this myself!"
Lu's father nodded and continued with his work, while Lu Yuan waved to Big Yellow, who was catching fish by the river in the distance.
Upon hearing Lu Yuan's call, Da Huang immediately wagged its tail and ran over, rubbing against Lu Yuan for a while.
"Isn't your nose very sensitive? Now I have a task for you!"
Upon hearing that he had a task to be assigned to him, Da Huang immediately barked twice.
So Lu Yuan took out a piece of coal from his pocket and held it up to Da Huang's nose to smell it.
"This stuff is called coal. From now on, you'll search outwards from this area. Once you find that kind of coal, mark it, understand?"
Lu Yuan wasn't sure if Da Huang could understand him, so he asked again until Da Huang nodded as if it understood, and then ran away quickly.
After sighing, Lu Yuan knew this was all he could do. Coal was the only energy source he could think of right now. As for oil, it was also very precious, but it needed to be processed after extraction. Lu Yuan decided to find it first, since oil usually exists where there are coal mines.
"Such a large area should have these energy sources by now! Otherwise, the only option is to cut down trees! This is not a good sign!"
After finishing these tasks, Lu Yuan returned to Xiao Shan's bedside. It was already the third injection, and Xiao Shan still hadn't woken up. Lu Yuan stood beside her, gently stroking Xiao Shan's face, and turned to ask Zheng Hai.
"What's going on? He's already had his third injection, why hasn't he woken up yet?"
