Dungeon Construction
"Big news! Big news! Dungeon spots are only available for a limited time, don't miss it if you pass by!"
These past two days, the most explosive news in Beijing was all about the underground city.
Of course, there are those who support and those who oppose the official decision.
Many people think that going underground is unnecessary. It is crowded and humid, and there is no sunlight. If a disaster really happens, there is nowhere to escape. It is really a bad idea.
But some people think that the government would not spend so much energy, materials and manpower to build a useless underground city, it must have some benefits.
Jiang Miao got the relevant introduction from the government affairs hall.
Like the base, the dungeon is on pre-sale. Those who want to get a piece of the pie not only have to hand over sufficient supplies, but also have to spend money and effort to sell their labor underground. The official only provides three meals, but no wages.
Kang Weiguo's safe was taken out from the space, and documents about the underground city were found inside. It can be confirmed that except for the Beijing base, other bases simply do not have the extra energy to deal with this matter.
"Want to go?" Su Heng moved closer, touching the back of Gousheng's neck.
"I have to go."
Jiang Miao corrected him, pointing to a section of the notice and saying, "Those who participate in the construction of the underground city can be exempted from the corresponding period of compulsory labor."
In other words, people who go to work in the underground city can not only be exempted from their compulsory labor time, but also have extra time to share with their families.
As for how to get there.
Placed together with the documents was a cowhide notebook containing relevant information of many officials in several important cities including Beijing.
I really have to thank Deputy Base Commander Kang for his hard work in the officialdom, which is now helping her a lot.
The training ground on the top floor has been built. After registration ended, Jiang Miao and Xianjun brought Gousheng to train there together.
In addition to the necessary hemp ropes, climbing boards, and single-plank bridges, Jiang Miao also preset many natural disaster scenarios based on possible scenarios that might be encountered in the future, such as tsunamis, fires, earthquakes, etc.
Fortunately, Gousheng is smart enough to handle most of the training, which makes it much easier for Jiang Miao, the training officer.
"Are you leaving tomorrow?" Su Heng seemed a little reluctant.
Gousheng is only two months old now and needs someone to take care of him at home. Miaomiao unilaterally decided to leave him alone to go to work.
——He has never had much say in this family.
Jiang Miao was thinking about his own business: "Well, if we go earlier, we can find a better and more advantageous position."
It was obvious that the rooms allocated to individuals in the dungeon were definitely very small, and most likely they were just bunk beds. She was also raising a little tiger, so how could such a small place possibly accommodate it?
In fact, during this period of time, Su Heng felt that his hints were already very obvious, but Miaomiao's mind was always on other things, and she was indifferent to his explicit and implicit hints.
Whatever.
In the face of survival, these unnecessary emotions are still a burden to her.
"Then you just be careful." Su Heng didn't say anything else, but just gently reminded.
Hearing this, Jiang Miao couldn't help but look back.
In her imagined life, there was never any room for anyone around her.
Because she had truly experienced a tragic and terrifying doomsday, it was impossible for her to let down her guard and sincerely accept everyone in this world.
But it was just perfect that the two people who were with her now were an immortal from another world, and a spirit beast that she had raised with her since childhood. Both of them were alien species that existed outside the current society, which made her feel extremely at ease.
Jiang Miao smiled knowingly: "Okay, I will."
On October 28, the underground city construction activity was officially launched.
As one of the first volunteers to sign up, Jiang Miao stood in a relatively forward position and listened to the leaders’ mobilization meeting.
Looking at the solemn-looking leaders on the stage, she couldn't help but narrow her eyes slightly.
It was quite a coincidence. The notebook recorded that many important figures had condescended to attend this mobilization meeting, and many radical elements in the base who advocated the uselessness of underground cities also appeared in the volunteer team.
It's like a sweet and delicious cake. Everyone claims it is poisonous, but everyone wants to rush to taste the first bite.
“…I hope that everyone can work together to build the last line of defense for human survival!” After the leader finished his speech, sparse applause broke out.
After the mobilization meeting, more than a dozen leaders cut the ribbon together with a pair of small scissors, and with the salute of cannons, the construction of the underground city officially began.
Jiang Miao was assigned to Group C3.
"Come on, come on, our construction site is over there." Several tall and strong men waved and greeted them. The team leader had been confirmed a few days ago. He was a gentle man with glasses and looked quite young.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, we have to go in according to the order, our group is behind C2." The young man hurriedly spoke out to stop them.
Although he was wearing glasses, Jiang Miao always felt that this person looked very familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere but couldn't remember where.
"Tsk! Trouble!" After all, they were on a construction site, so although the big guys looked uneasy, they still obediently followed the rules.
The C3 team consists of thirty-eight people, responsible for digging a deep well in the northwest corner of the underground city.
This technology was already very mature before the end of the world. Workers used reinforced concrete to cast the required deep well model on the ground, and then used an excavator to dig out all the soil in the model.
Due to the missing soil, the cast model sank into the ground due to lack of ground support. The workers then continued to pour soil from the deep well onto the model, going deeper and deeper into the ground.
Generally speaking, underground water sources can be found less than ten meters below the ground. Jiang Miao looked at the water pumps standing by and estimated that the height required by the authorities was more than ten meters.
When it comes to digging wells and pouring concrete, there is no distinction between men and women in the apocalypse. Jiang Miao put on gloves and carried sandbags and steel bars with greater strength than men, which attracted the attention of his team members. It was also a disguised warning and demonstration.
Don't cause trouble.
At the end of a busy day, official volunteers came with a cart to serve meals. Jiang Miao went to get one, which was very perfunctory and sloppy.
——Compressed biscuits and nutritional drinks are all products of industrial assembly lines, and the production date can be kept for three to five years.
In order not to arouse suspicion, Jiang Miao, like his team members, swallowed the compressed biscuits as coarse as gravel with an expressionless face. They rested in the temporary workshop on the construction site at night and continued working early the next morning.
In three days, the deep well in the northwest corner that Team C3 was responsible for was completed first compared to other teams, so it was natural for them to receive the next stage of the task.
C3 team leader Yuan Yexin came over with a folder and said, "The new construction site is here. Xiao Jiang, take a few people to drive the car over here. A few of you move the machines to the roadside, and the rest of you dismantle the workshop and move it over here."
In just three days, Yuan Yexin had figured out who had the best abilities in the group, and didn't mind flattering Jiang Miao for some small profits.
Jiang Miao glanced at the others and said, "Raise your hands if you can drive a truck."
More than twenty hands were raised.
"You, you, and you, plus the two over there, come with me to drive."
Construction machines and workshop panels are heavy and large. After a day off, who wouldn’t want to take a comfortable drive?
Those who were not chosen naturally complained, while those who were chosen stood behind Jiang Miao happily.
Several big guys who had been huddled together since they joined the team looked worried, but since they were on a construction site and there were guards standing guard around them, they had no choice but to dismantle the boards and move the machines angrily.
"Let's go."
Before leaving, Jiang Miao glanced at the team leader Yuan Yexin, curled his lips, and took his men to the headquarters to drive a truck back to pick up the goods.
Using petty gains to alienate subordinates so that they can be better controlled is a common method used by superiors to control their subordinates. This style, coupled with the surname Yuan...
Could it be such a coincidence that they are from the Yuan family in Beijing?
It took two trips of six trucks to move the entire construction site to the new location. Jiang Miao took people to return the trucks, and the rest of the people were responsible for rebuilding the temporary workshop.
"Brother Biao, is that chick having an affair with Four Eyes? Why does she always get all the good stuff?"
The weather wasn't that hot, but the guys were sweating profusely.
Da Biao glanced at the team leader holding the documents over there and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Can't you see how strong that woman is? Siyan treated her like an animal and forced her to rush the progress every day to be the first team to complete the task. Now that the goal has been achieved, can't she give him some benefits?"
"But we've done less? We haven't done less than that little girl, have we?"
The younger brother was not very smart, so Da Biao did not have the time to explain anything. He just said, "Don't provoke them, you hear me? If something happens, don't blame me for not protecting you."
They were all used to doing hard labor in the doomsday. The temporary workshop was built before Jiang Miao drove back, and they could just spread out their bedding and sleep.
Yuan Yexin looked at the task drawing of the current construction site. To be honest, he really couldn't understand the real intention of it.
"When will the construction start?" Jiang Miao walked over and looked at the blueprints.
Why is this person walking silently?
Yuan Yexin stroked his chest and answered her: "Early tomorrow morning."
"Can we start work now?"
"ah?"
Jiang Miao's eyes fell on the construction drawings: "I just went to the engineering headquarters and asked a junior clerk, who said that the team with the highest efficiency and the best quality will have priority in the future allocation of quotas and housing."
Not many people know about this. There are indeed six groups in the eight major directions from A to H, totaling forty-eight groups with nearly two thousand people. Not every group has people who are related to the above parties. Naturally, this news is left to those who know so that they can have legitimacy and privileges.
But what surprised Yuan Yexin was that Jiang Miao could easily dig this out from the mouth of a small clerk?
Without spending too much money, would anyone be willing to tell such secret information to a stranger?
"How is it?" Jiang Miao frowned and asked.
Yuan Yexin lowered his eyes slightly, and through the reflection of his lenses, he didn't know what he was thinking, but he finally agreed.
"It's just that everyone's emotions are different..." Originally, this matter was of course beneficial to him, but the only problem was how could the workers be willing to work for the base for free without even a day off?
This only provides food and accommodation, but no salary.
"I'll take care of it."
After getting the approval of the team leader, Jiang Miao took the drawings and left. Yuan Yexin followed closely behind, wanting to see how she would deal with it.
The five people who followed Jiang Miao to drive gathered everyone together in the open space in front of the construction site. She raised the blueprint in her hand and announced in a calm tone: "Those who are willing to start work on time at 2 pm will have canned braised pork and two bags of instant noodles as an extra meal tonight."
Not to mention that the food on the construction site is extremely bad, so bad that people would rather pay for their own meals than eat compressed biscuits for three meals in a row for several days.
Now, there are people who are willing to offer extra meals, and it’s meat!
In Beijing, only wealthy families can eat meat once a week!
There were obvious sounds of people swallowing saliva on the field. The troublemaker muttered, "You said you wanted more food, so you want more food. Why don't you keep all this meat for yourself?"
"It's important to hurry up." Jiang Miao glanced at everyone, "Is there anyone who wants to join?"
"us!"
The five-member team from the convoy were the first to show their support, followed by a dozen more people who joined in one after another. The rest of the people simply didn't believe Jiang Miao's words about eating meat, or they just wanted to take an afternoon off.
So, while other teams were still working on the first task point, Team C3 had already started work on the second task point.
Yuan Yexin looked at Jiang Miao and saw that she seemed to have the ability to command the support of everyone, and suddenly felt that the decision to let her deal with the workers' emotions was a bit hasty.
Especially half an hour after work, she really drove a broken van and gave each worker a box of canned red meat and two bags of instant noodles.
Yuan Yexin inexplicably had a bad feeling.
