Chapter 197 Light Base
Liu Ning saw that everyone thought the method was feasible. After thinking about it, Liu Ning asked people to use a "small amount" of explosives to blast gaps in the middle of the six separated mountains one by one. Then he used a crusher to break the rock wall, and then started to fight with his companions. Working with an excavator.
At the same time, 200 people were assigned to carry the excavated gravel and soil down the mountain, while the other 100 team members used hammers, crowbars and other tools to help manual excavation to speed up the progress.
As for the remaining people, 300 members were responsible for clearing wasteland at the foot of the camp, 100 people were searching for available supplies, and 100 people were dedicated to cutting down trees to make simple furniture and fuel.
最后还剩下200名队员，这其中有11位专家，23个20——45岁的女人，还有8个1到8岁孩子和16名10几岁的少年，都是干不了太多重体力活儿的，刘宁就让他们负责给所有人做饭。
Among the remaining team members, 20 are responsible for feeding livestock and poultry, egg hatching and mushroom cultivation.
The other 50 people are responsible for patrolling this wilderness, checking for dangers, and planting the remaining thorns in the areas where the defenses are relatively weak within their circled base.
There are also 80 members who are responsible for building public toilets and breeding greenhouses in the camp and at the foot of the mountain.
These two places are quite special. Liu Ning asked his team members to choose locations far away from residential areas and cleaning pools.
After things were arranged, everyone got into action. After a month of busy work, everyone always planted all kinds of food, vegetables and fruits. There were three breeding greenhouses and four public toilets located close together, covering a total area of 3 acres. Already built.
After another month of this, the six mountains, with their day and night efforts, finally dug out the cave, and the rock walls inside were polished as smooth and flat as possible.
The area of three of the caves was not as large as the one they discovered before, but there were many more stone houses carved inside.
There are 18 large rooms, 3 of which are specially used to store supplies, and the rest are used to house people. Each room can accommodate 10-15 people.
In the other three caves, one is a living area for family groups. 3 rooms were excavated inside, 20 of which can accommodate 12 people and 6 of which can accommodate 8 people.
There are fewer rooms in one, only 10 large rooms, but there are many simple stone tables and chairs set up against the walls.
On the stone wall directly in front of the door, there is a blackboard that has been polished smooth, plastered with cement, and painted with black paint, 80 centimeters above the ground, 1 meter high and 4 meters wide.
This will be a place for everyone to hold meetings and children to study in the future. Of those rooms, two will be used as darkrooms and incubation rooms, while the rest will be left vacant for the time being to make plans later.
The last one left has the largest usable area among all the caves, and the cave is divided into two, with a larger left and a smaller right. A door is opened in the middle wall, so you can walk on both sides.
There are data rooms, laboratories (two each for experts and students), utility rooms, medical rooms, pharmacies, operating rooms, offices of experts and medical staff, and wards on the left side, while on the right side, they are all for experts. Accommodation.
These caves are supported by stone pillars. There are several skylights on the top of the cave, and there are even large windows on both sides of the door. This is also to allow everyone to stay in the cave and not notice any movement outside. Without knowing the danger, they opened the door and went out of the cave to detect abnormalities. They only needed to lift a corner of the curtain to see the situation outside clearly and take immediate countermeasures.
On the day of completion, Liu Ning immediately led people to check every corner over and over again. After repeatedly confirming that there were no problems, he let people go in to clean and move in later.
Although they are all excavating a mountain to prevent collapse due to excessive movement, they will not let down their guard easily until they have checked clearly.
Years of living in the apocalypse have made everyone accustomed to being cautious. After all, no one wants a tragedy to happen.
Chen Bi'er looked at the busy partners in front of her and couldn't help but smile, "That's great!"
Liu Ning reached out and hugged the person into his arms, "Well! We have a family again!"
Chen Bi'er turned to look at him. Their eyes were full of affection. She opened her red lips to the person in front of her and said, "Husband, let's have a baby!"
Liu Ning's heart was shocked, and her eyes were filled with tenderness, "Okay!"
The days passed by, and the apocalypse unknowingly entered the 11th year.
The Guangming Base founded by Liu Ning and others ushered in its first great harvest. The fields at the foot of the mountain were bustling with people harvesting grain, vegetables and fruits with joy.
Processes such as threshing and drying were carried out, and then they were placed on the second floor of Cave No. [-] and in an empty room of the school.
Afterwards, they entered into intensive cultivation of the second crop of crops. When the work was completed, it happened to be autumn, and Liu Ning called everyone together for a meeting to discuss the next construction plan.
Now that they have the capital to establish a firm foothold, this matter must be put on the agenda. The first thing everyone needs to do is to clear out the areas where mutant plants grow densely, and then sow red amaranth and shepherd's purse seeds.
Everyone did what they said, and Liu Ning left 50 people in the base to take care of the children and women, and also to do logistics.
The remaining team members were led by him, Lin Jingzhe, Wang Mingyang, Turtle Dove and Wenjie. They were centered on the camp and spread out in a radial pattern. Each team member was responsible for the territory in one direction, cleaning up the mutated plants and spreading purifying plant seeds at the same time.
To be honest, this job was very hard. After a week, everyone was exhausted and sunburned. However, it was much easier than what they did at the Qiuhan base when the pollution occurred.
At that time, everyone was very desperate, and they managed to survive solely by relying on the anger in their hearts.
Although there is still pollution everywhere, after several years of self-repair of the ecological environment, the pollution in many places is no longer so serious.
Besides, they still have the mutated bluegrass given by Qiu Qiu and a large amount of bluegrass juice. As long as they don't waste too much, the crops they grow and the water they drink can purify themselves.
Therefore, although everyone worked hard, they didn't feel so tired because they had hope for the day.
After three months of unremitting efforts, everyone finally successfully planted more than 1000 acres of soil-purifying plants around the base.
During this period, they also dredged the creek and cleaned up all the fallen leaves, gravel, dead branches, dust and other debris that had accumulated for an unknown period of time.
In addition, an excavator was used to dig out a ditch 1 meter deep and [-] meter wide, and diverted part of the water to several newly built reservoirs near the farmland.
Not only that, they also built a row of semi-enclosed sheds on the roadside at the foot of the mountain to park military trucks, agricultural vehicles, excavators, etc.
Although the open space on the mountain can accommodate these large objects, it is not only crowded to park on it, but also troublesome to drive up and down every day. Therefore, everyone thought of building a shed below and parking these vehicles at the foot of the mountain.
In this way, the open space above was vacant again, and they set aside part of it to grow vegetables and trees, and also set up an open-air kitchen and tent like Qiuhan's base.
When it's hot, everyone can eat together and chat outside. When it's cold, they can go back to various caves to solve the meal problem on their own.
In addition, a two-story building covering an area of 100 square meters was built next to the carport at the foot of the mountain. It was built with stones quarried from the mountain and cement sand brought from the base. The walls were smoothed out in a decent way. I don't care about the outside of the house. Looking from a distance, it still feels like a primitive building from the old days.
This small building is used as a place for team members to rest while they are on duty at the foot of the mountain and doing farm work.
Everyone is worried that they live in caves on the mountain. If one day, someone suddenly appears and steals crops and vehicles from the base, and they don't hear anything, the loss will be huge.
The second crop of crops matured in early winter. After everyone took the time to gather in the camp, they immediately sent out their manpower to cut wood and make bacon, dried vegetables, etc.
After being so busy for more than a month, the weather became colder, and it started to rain continuously. Looking around, the mountains and fields were covered with mist, and the days became shorter and shorter.
At this time, Liu Ning stopped letting anyone else go down the mountain, except for those who patrolled the mountain every day and were on night watch. Everyone stayed in the cave chatting, or teaching their children how to read.
However, during the day, everyone temporarily concentrated in the two-story cave where Liu Ning, Lin Jingzhe and others lived.
Firstly, there are two floors here, so everyone can stay without being crowded. Secondly, although the current temperature is cold, it is still within the tolerance range of everyone, so they only use a small bonfire to burn in the cave. , you can feel the warmth, so you can save a lot of firewood.
Although they had prepared a lot of firewood, none of them had ever stayed in this place, and they didn't know if the winter would be very long and very cold, so it was always a good idea to save some.
Everyone lives in such a crowded way. Every day after everyone gets up and washes, they automatically go to the cave on the second floor. The children will study on the upper floor for an hour, and then they can move around freely.
By then, they will be able to run up and down the two floors and play. At this time, Liu Ning will take the children and women's heads from Zhonggong's supplies, one for each, and throw sweet potatoes or potatoes into the fire, waiting for the charcoal fire. When it's cooked, share it with them.
In today's world, it is a prerequisite that everyone eats enough. It is superfluous to say that it is irritating or lacks nutrition.
The days passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it entered the cold winter weather, the temperature dropped sharply, and heavy snow fell from the sky.
When Liu Ning saw that the time was almost up, he immediately asked everyone to return to their respective caves, and Guangming Base officially entered Maodong's life.
The falling goose feathers and heavy snow soon covered the wilderness. The surrounding areas were silent, desolate and inhabited, with only the bright white snow.
In less than one night, the snow was already as deep as his knees. Liu Ning held his sleeves and stood at the entrance of the cave to take a look, fearing that the heavy snow would block the entrance to the cave and the road down the mountain.
He quickly shouted at the top of his lungs, "Come out and clear the snow!"
Then he quickly returned to the cave, dressed up with his brothers, took the tools, and went outside to clear the thick snow.
Everyone used shovels to shovel the snow to the side of the mountain first, and then pushed it down hard, which saved a lot of energy. However, it was more difficult to clean the ventilation windows outside and the road down the mountain. Fortunately, there were many of them and they were all strong. Labor, otherwise, I don’t know what to do.
However, the snow was really heavy. They had only been down the mountain for an hour after clearing the camp. When they came up, the ground was already covered with a thin layer of snow.
Liu Ning put his hands on the shovel and panted slightly, "Go back! We'll do it tomorrow. Just be careful not to block the holes and windows."
Everyone nodded and went back to the cave. They ran to the fire and sat down to warm themselves up. Everyone complained. They guessed right. This place was much colder than Qiu Han's base. They had only been out for two hours, and everyone was almost there. I was about to be frozen into popsicles, and my joints were so cold that they hurt.
Fortunately, they brought a lot of old ginger here. On this cold day, each cave used a big iron pot to boil a pot full of ginger soup. Everyone gathered around the fire and drank a bowl each. The coldness suddenly went away a lot.
Chen Bi'er straightened the sweater that her man had just put on, and wiped his wet hair with a towel, nagging distressedly, "When you go out to clear the snow tomorrow, remember to wear that fur hat and the woolen wool you brought today. The hat is not warm at all, and it is easily soaked by the snow. Let’s blow some air when the time comes, and be careful if you catch a cold. Who am I going to cry to?”
Liu Ning looked at his nagging wife and felt so weak. Then he stared straight at her, eyes burning with fire, and a pair of big hands tightly wrapped around her waist, "Okay, I'll do whatever you want!"
"Don't make trouble!"
Chen Bi'er blushed slightly, glared at him, and looked outside the door. Liu Ning understood, chuckled, and let go of her. Then he swayed, walked slowly to the door, and closed the door to his house. A strict one.
Ikaruga and others who were warming themselves by the fire in the lobby outside looked at each other and laughed. After a while, they also took various companions back to the room, and the cave instantly became quiet.
In the dark room, Chen Bi'er tightened the towel in her hand and watched the tall figure walking towards her, her legs and feet felt weak.
"Wife!"
Liu Ning's hoarse and QY voice sounded in the room, and Chen Bi'er responded softly.
He picked him up and immediately fell into the soft ground.
