Jean Of Bright City 13

11:00 p.m.

On the edge of the built road on the outskirts of Area 108 on the ground floor, a large number of people are quietly queuing up with the leftover food in large and small bags, waiting for the transaction.

The small market proposed by Lexiao has been fully established. Trading can be done on both sides of the road after 11 o'clock every night, but order must be observed. Many people in the barrier area have been working all day and are already very tired. With the money in hand, I want to buy as much food as possible.

A lot of food is left over from the shops on the bottom floor. In the past, these foods would be sold cheaply, but if they couldn’t be sold, they could only be used for the manufacture of biological nutrient solutions, or they could be directly purchased by people in liquid food factories.

But now all districts are advocating selling these foods to people working in the city in the barrier areas, and many shop owners have responded. After all, it is edible food, just a lot of leftovers, and the rest can still be sold at affordable prices , selling to someone in the barrier area is of course the best option.

Many people sold the food as soon as they went up, and happily collected the money and left. Not only the merchants, but also the nearby residents, they ate some leftover food, rice, bread, etc., or more. The part that is released is sold to people in the barrier area at a low price, which can have a good income for them.

The people in the barrier areas who went to work in the city used to provide two meals a day, but they are no longer provided. They can use the money they earn to buy everything they need.

There are many people at the bottom who have seen business opportunities. More and more residents at the bottom are applying for some booths. New booths appear every day. People in the barrier area basically have countless needs for food and food. .

The trucks started to start after being filled with people. Some people in the barrier area needed to go back to the base under construction in the barrier area to sleep, and only some of them could stay in the city.

Many reporters are reporting on this small trading market. Although the transaction amount is not large, it is only a few yuan at a time, and most of the time it is a transaction of less than one yuan. But now this kind of transaction is getting bigger and bigger, some people see The businessmen of the business opportunity also began to take over many of the products that have been eliminated from the inventory.

In particular, a photovoltaic product that was very popular on the ground floor in the past, the heater is very popular, and the price is only 30 yuan each. It only needs to be placed in a place where the sun can shine, and it can be placed in the room for heating in the cold night for a period of time.

Now the wages of people who enter the city to work in the barrier area have also increased by a few dollars after the food supply has been cancelled, which is already a very good treatment for them.

At this time, a truck slowly drove over, and many people saw the mutants of the Lightning Skull Guild. They all looked extremely tired. They got off the truck and passed through the queue.

"I'm exhausted."

Xiong Dabiao muttered, and Olivia smiled.

"You haven't worked so hard in a long time."

Eric glanced around and felt that the situation had changed. In just a few days, this small trading market for people in the barrier zone did not look as cold as before, and both sides of the buyer and seller were very enthusiastic. , are bargaining.

"That little girl did a really good job."

Xiong Dabiao praised Le Xiao, and he quickly took people to a pub on a nearby street.

"The boss brings out the delicious food."

A group of more than 30 people immediately filled the tavern. The owner smiled and asked about the situation of the agricultural base in the barrier area. Just as Xiong Dabiao was about to say, Olivia stopped him because she noticed some reporters nearby.

The construction facilities in the barrier area are still not ideal. The windbreak wall is still under construction, but some problems will arise in the past one day. We can only bite the bullet and build the windbreak wall first, and then start building the building.

The current situation, if reported, would cause problems in the city.

"Everything is going smooth."

After Olivia responded directly with one sentence, she glanced at some reporters who ran in.

"Interviewing shit, I'm dizzy with hunger."

Xiong Dabiao shouted angrily, and the reporters also left with interest.

The most important issue now is to urgently recruit a group of construction workers, but now the ground floor is under construction, many skilled workers have gone to the construction site, and most workers are reluctant to go to the barrier area. After all, it is too difficult to work in that environment. .

A group of workers who were recruited before have returned, and many of them have fallen ill. Even if the wages for working in the barrier area are higher than those in the city, few workers are willing to work in the barrier area now.

Olivia looked at these reporters with some anger, because these reporters made a big fuss, interviewed those sick workers, and expanded the matter. According to the homework records during this period, Section 4 has given a clear statement. The physical function problems that occur in the severe cold, if only scientific shift management is needed, many workers can fully adapt to it.

"What should I do, President?"

Eric wearily took a glass of beer and drank it down.

"Ghost knows, you will continue to go back to your homework later, Olivia and I will run around to see."

There is no way to do it now, the entire agricultural base is extremely short of manpower, and even the 12th and 3rd departments are helping, but they are not workers, so they cannot participate in the construction work.

Although some staff tried to help, they often messed up. In this harsh construction environment, professional workers are even more needed.

"Da Biao can't be dragged on any longer. Even if it is forced, a group of workers must be brought in. After all, if one day drags on, the situation of the entire base will be a little worse."

After all, they have to work against the wind and sand at a speed of 70 to 80 kilometers every day, which is not something ordinary people can do.

Of course, Xiong Dabiao also knows that the construction at this stage is getting more and more difficult. Unless the sun can reach the agricultural base, the sand will fade away after a period of time, but it is obviously impossible.

Although the 10th Division has come up with some relatively high-performance machinery, many times in the sandstorm, some refined operations can only be performed by manpower.

"Don't think too much, let's finish eating and drinking."

At this moment, a phone call came, Olivia was a little puzzled, and glanced at the call from Shima, the secretary of Section 3.

"Is something wrong, Secretary Shima?"

"Where are you now?"

Olivia became puzzled. Seema explained the situation. The Angus couple planned to go to the barrier area again, hoping they could help guard them. Because there are many things in Division 3 at present, it is temporarily impossible to assign competent personnel to guard them.

Olivia agreed. After all, the Angus family was the largest investor in the construction of this agricultural base, and Xiong Dabiao became furious when he heard it.

"At this juncture, really, there is nothing to see."

"We'd better cancel tonight's meeting."

Xiong Dabiao’s teeth were itchy, and soon after the food was eaten, the local section officer of Section 5 found them, saying that the Angus family had brought many engineers to the southern guard station and asked them to hurry up.

In desperation, Xiong Dabiao and the others could only run and jump quickly, and a few minutes later they arrived at the southern guard station.

As soon as they met Xiong Dabiao, they were stunned. The Angus and his wife brought more than 200 Angus engineers in many fields.

"What is this for?"

Avano laughed.

"Only at night will the wind be less so that we can see something on the ground."

Then everyone got on the take-off and landing plane and went to the barrier area and came to the vicinity of the base. There will be a lot of chatter and laughter. Many houses built on the leeward side have been connected, and they seem to be more consolidated than before. Some.

"First of all, we have to solve the problem of electricity."

Avano said as soon as he got off the plane, Xiong Dabiao nodded, electricity is indeed a problem, there is indeed a problem with the power supply here, although there are plans to release a cable from the city, but many solutions have been studied and they are temporarily unworkable , can only generate electricity with bacterial batteries.

The most common problem of bacterial battery power generation is that it is slow, and the culture solution needs to be added frequently, and the external structure of the battery needs to be checked frequently because of the harsh environment to avoid leakage problems.

"Is there a plan?"

Xiong Dabiao asked, in fact, if electricity could be supplied, they could put in more machinery and be more efficient, but electricity is always a big problem.

"How do you feel about using these winds?"

Xiong Dabiao let out a cry. At this time, an engineer from the Angus family took out a design drawing. Everyone present was stunned. This strange-shaped machine composed of many fans looked huge. Fans are all different sizes.

An engineer explained that this power generation fan is not a traditional straight-faced fan, but a design designed to collect the wind to the greatest extent and prevent the strong wind from causing excessive damage to the machinery.

When the wind blows, it will be divided by many fans of different shapes on the front, and then poured into other types of fans. All fans have small motors, and once the fans rotate, they will continuously generate electricity.

"The purpose of our visit today is for the installation and the actual test tomorrow."

Xiong Dabiao nodded thoughtfully, and soon the engineers of the Angus family took action. Xiong Dabiao immediately arranged for people to help, and the nearby staff also came to help, and some people in the barrier area also came from the house. Out.

A nearly 10-meter-high, 8-meter-diameter wind turbine with densely packed fans was installed. Everyone looked at this strange-looking thing and felt surprised.

"This is actually my idea when I was young, and it has been tested. At that time, I thought the barrier area was such a good place, why not install a lot of wind turbines, so that it can provide a lot of electricity for the city. But Mr. Jean once Take me to the barrier area to see it once, and I know why it can't be installed."

Everyone present laughed. It was true that when there was a huge conflict between the fortified area and the city in the past, the generator was probably destroyed by theft a few days before it was installed.

An engineer went on to explain that even if the wind speed exceeds 100 kilometers, this generator can rotate and generate electricity safely, because it is made of the hardest alloy in Bright City.

The only difficult part of this type of generator is the regular cleaning of the fan and the maintenance of the motor, but nothing is a problem. Avano has led the engineers in the family to improve it. It is easy to disassemble and regularly For cleaning, you can rely on small robots.

More and more people in the barrier area came over. According to the requirements of some engineers, everyone took the delivered parts, placed them, and then the engineers used machinery to install them.

In just 1 hour, according to the wind speed tested before, eight generators have been installed, and the metal storage battery has also begun to connect. As long as tomorrow, we will know how much electricity can be stored.

Seeing that the fan that was spinning in the breeze had begun to generate electricity, Xiong Dabiao laughed happily.

"It's really a good way, wind power."

Avano hummed.

"We will succeed. As long as the problem of electric energy is solved, your work efficiency can also be improved. Now, didn't I hear that you are short of workers?"

Xiong Dabiao nodded. Indeed, if they could solve the problem of electricity, their efficiency would be three or four times faster, or even more than that.

At this moment, Olivia, who was on the side, looked at the two large take-off and landing planes of Angus's family in the distance, and smiled slightly.

"Gentlemen and ladies, thank you for working in such dire circumstances, and I hope to host a simple banquet for you all."

A large number of people cheered excitedly, and soon two large take-off and landing planes loaded with food landed. The four or five inside were enough for 100,000 people to enjoy, and the Angus family also hired them. chef, and some drinks.

These are produced in the Angus family's farmland. Although everyone can only receive a little, in such a cold night, many people are extremely happy, and everyone begins to line up in an orderly manner.

"Da Biao, are you still hungry?"

Avano asked a question, and Xiong Dabiao laughed. In the past, Xiong Dabiao would visit Niya's house from time to time to tell the Angus and his wife Niya's situation. The guy, plus he's desperately protecting Nya in the past.

The Angus family is very grateful to Xiong Dabiao. Avano thought about many candidates for this construction, but in the end it was suggested that Xiong Dabiao and the others should be in charge. Ye Chunwang also thought the same. Much better than giving it to some guy who just wants to make a lot of money.

Soon in the breeze, the aroma of the food was diffused. Not only were there a lot of vegetables, but there were also meat in the pasta. Although everyone could only get one portion and a bottle of wine, it was already worth it for many people in the barrier area. Very happy.

"Da Biao, thank you very much."

Avano took Xiong Dabiao's hand and said with a smile.

"Isn't it good now?"

Avano hummed, he had a lot of ideas in the past, all of which needed to be realized in the barrier area, and now the opportunity has come, the opportunity for the light to shine into the barrier area.
