The base has been working hard to develop the technology for making ballpoint pens, and even sought help from the official base of the imperial capital. With the help of the official base of the imperial capital, they have begun to produce ballpoint pens and fountain pens.
The underground city is still under construction. Lu Xingtang went in to take a look. It was built very solidly. In addition, they came back from the mountain city this time and collected the ruins and materials in the space. The people who came to support the mountain city brought back the ruins and materials. They invested them in the construction of the underground city. The underground city was not entirely made of mud. There were also some concrete walls or floors.
It just doesn’t look very nice and is not smooth at all, but Lu Xingtang doesn’t have high requirements, as long as it is sturdy.
Construction of the underground city was in full swing, and the medical school, middle school, and high school were also busy. With so many survivors joining the Lancheng base, brick schools couldn't be built, but adobe houses were easily constructed. With everyone's efforts, they were all built, and teaching staff gradually arrived. The children in the base, whether they had parents or were orphans, all went to school. The books were all printed, and Lu Xingtang quietly printed a lot of books and workbooks for the children in the space. He also printed a lot for the medical school.
The construction of the military training ground was very rigorous. Lu Xingtang had seen it and found that it was all done by the soldiers themselves, without the need for any workers.
In addition to building a training ground, they also sent out several groups of people to patrol inside and outside the base, focusing on areas where bipeds live, and strengthening their military forces for fear of any accidents.
After the official Shancheng base was completely integrated with the Lancheng base, the Lancheng base entered a new stage. Everyone worked hard for the Lancheng base. More and more people were involved in food production, and a lot of wasteland was opened up for planting or breeding. However, the total population of the base now exceeds two million, and food is still in great shortage.
After Lu Xingtang discussed with his special assistant Fox and classmates, he quietly took out a lot of chickens, ducks, geese, fertilized chicken, duck, and goose eggs, as well as calves, lambs, ponies, rabbits, and pregnant rabbits from the space, and asked them to join the farm and reproduce more for the base so that the survivors could have meat to eat.
Lu Xingtang even asked everyone to dig a fish pond. The pond was not big, but Lu Xingtang sent all the fish in the space out and put them into the pond. There were all kinds of fish, as well as many fish eggs and small fish.
After the base had a fish pond, Lu Xingtang often went to the pond to check the number of fish in the pond and secretly put in fish fry, etc. Therefore, he also specially organized a fish farming team to raise fish in the pond.
Time flew by, and 2113 passed, ushering in 2114. This year, there were no natural disasters at Lancheng Base, with four distinct seasons and a normal climate. This made everyone relieved and excited. Lu Xingtang asked everyone to stock up on food. While there were no natural disasters in Lancheng, other places were plagued by them. The government even sought help from the Lancheng Base, asking survivors from other nearby provinces to join the base. As a result, the number of survivors at Lancheng Base had reached 2.3 million.
The houses they built at first were not full, so the base started building houses again. This time, they were all adobe houses, not buildings or brick houses. They did not have that much building materials, and all the building materials were used to build the underground city.
However, as the number of survivors increased, everyone went out to look for materials for building houses, such as soil, stones, trees, etc. Strength lies in numbers, and by the end of the year, many adobe houses had been built. The adobe houses were arranged in rows and were also designed as single-room houses. There were no kitchens or bathrooms, and everyone ate in the cafeteria with meal tickets.
After accommodating all the survivors, they did not stop building houses, in case more survivors joined, there would be no place to live.
What made Lu Xingtang even happier was that the tempered glass factory was producing tempered glass day and night. The tempered glass had covered the entire base and was connected to the bunkers and major buildings. The entire base was protected by tempered glass. However, before the natural disaster came, the tempered glass was open and not completely blocked. If it was completely blocked, everyone would suffer from hypoxia, and even animals and plants would become sick. The tempered glass could only be blocked when a natural disaster broke out.
Soon the Chinese New Year arrived, and the base produced fireworks and firecrackers. Everyone took the fireworks and firecrackers and went outside the base to set them off. The moment Lu Xingtang and the others saw the fireworks explode, they all put their hands together and made wishes: "I hope the natural disaster will pass soon!" "I hope things will get better and better, and we can live well!" "I hope the Lancheng base will always exist!"
During the Chinese New Year, Lu Xingtang made sure that every household could eat meat. He had the base slaughter a lot of pigs, cattle and sheep, and asked the canteen to prepare meals. Everyone went to the canteen to eat together. Worried that there was not enough meat, Lu Xingtang also took out a lot of meat from the space to ensure that everyone could eat meat, even if they could not eat much.
Lu Xingtang and the other 35 people reunited in the space. They ate, drank red wine, imagined the future, thought about everything that happened in the past, talked and laughed, shared bitterness and tears, but after the meal, everyone was happy.
Lu Xingtang looked at her classmates, whose bellies were getting bigger and bigger, and they were about to give birth. Lu Xingtang took them to the Space Hospital for a physical examination. "Congratulations, the children are very healthy..." They were all doctors and spent a long time in the color Doppler ultrasound room. Some of her classmates were pregnant with a single baby, some with twins, and each child was very healthy. They even knew the gender.
After the Lunar New Year, someone from the research organization approached Lu Xingtang. "Base Commander, a natural disaster is coming soon!" They had lived in perfect peace since the base was established, without encountering any natural disasters. The climate was completely normal, but now no one was looking after them. "What kind of disaster? How long will it last? How severe is it?"
The research team said, "It's a torrential downpour. It will cause mudslides, landslides, and floods. It will last for a month! The torrential downpour will begin in seven days and won't stop for a single minute during this month."
Lu Xingtang: "I understand. Go back and continue testing and analyzing, and take precautions!" Lu Xingtang then informed the management of the news. Lu Xingtang said: "Our research team has been studying natural disasters, and the daily weather forecast is very accurate. This time, they say that a rainstorm disaster is coming, and it will definitely come. We have experienced a full 15 years of apocalyptic natural disasters, so we should know what kind of trouble a prolonged rainstorm will bring us, so we must take precautions immediately!"
"First, dig ditches to drain the floodwaters! Second, store as much water as possible without affecting farms, planting areas, fish ponds, freshwater wells, and ponds! Third, always pay attention to every part of the base; we must ensure it isn't flooded! Fourth, prepare cold medicine, fever reducers, ointments for mosquito bites, and more at the hospital, just in case! Also, prepare a large amount of disinfectant and insecticide; they'll definitely be needed!"
