In full swing.
Dust was flying everywhere.
The construction of the base is on track.
The underground space and the ground are under intensive construction.
Qin Jin has already stayed in a nearby hotel (the base is not in the wilderness, it is surrounded by industrial areas, and some companies have already moved in to work. There are still many residential areas and small commercial areas a few kilometers away, so at least food and accommodation are not a big problem; otherwise, all workers in the planned industrial areas can't live in dormitories, and some workers always need private space.
Every day when he is free, he will go to the site to check the progress and put pressure on the construction party.
In addition to the underground warehouse and his own residence, there are also many important buildings.
There are two dormitory buildings where relatives and friends will live in the future.
Each building has five floors, covering an area of 200 square meters, with 4-5 suites on each floor, 4 on the first floor and 5 on the other floors, all with two bedrooms and a living room. (One building has 24 suites, and two buildings have 48 suites in total, making it convenient for families to live in.)
There are also two dormitory buildings for ordinary personnel to live in.
Each building has five floors and occupies an area of 300 square meters. Each floor has 10 suites, mainly one bedroom and one living room, and some are single rooms with bathrooms. (The two buildings have a total of 100 suites, which can accommodate at least 150 people.)
The accommodation space alone can accommodate two to three hundred people.
From now on, these will be the residences Qin Jin prepares for his partners and friends.
Don't even think about absolute fairness in the end times.
I can never do it.
There are two other office buildings, each with four floors, which will be used for some official work in the future and can be modified as needed.
A multi-functional building with five floors and an area of 200 square meters, which is used as a movie theater, a library, several classrooms, and an entertainment room (after the end of the world stabilizes, some billiards, table tennis, an Internet cafe, etc. will be prepared to combine work and rest. Life in the end of the world needs to be better)
Two large factory buildings will be built on the ground.
Each one covers an area of thousands of square meters and can be used for various operations in the future.
Currently, funds are limited, so we plan to build the frame first and cover it with simple iron sheets. The focus is on making it sturdy.
There is also the very important greenhouse.
It is estimated to occupy 1/3 of the entire base, or 10,000 square meters. It is divided into several large and small sheds, all with top solar panels.
Some of the solar panels are mechanically driven and can be opened and closed by remote control.
This 10,000 square meters, or 15 acres of greenhouses, will be the key base for growing grain after the end of the world.
Therefore, the best materials are needed, which are strong, durable, and corrosion-resistant. In addition to the solar panels on the top, there are also solar panels, which can release the electricity stored during the day at night. (Of course, the conversion efficiency of solar energy alone is definitely not enough, and there are other operations to supplement it later.)
At least 8 acres out of 15 acres are used for rice cultivation.
Plant corn on 2 acres (corn has a short cycle but a low edible rate, but the stems can be used as feed, while wheat is not suitable for planting in the south).
An indoor livestock farm is built on 3 acres to raise chickens, ducks, pigs, cattle, and sheep.
Others can be used to grow vegetables, fruits, and some low fruit trees.
Before Qin Jin was reborn, he had joined many shelters and witnessed the survival modes of many doomsday bases, but now that it was his turn to build a shelter, he still had no experience.
You can only rely on yourself to improve it as much as possible. As long as it is not a big problem, some small problems can be adjusted later.
Then it's time to build a few warehouses.
Each one is several hundred square meters.
Used for placing some ground equipment and storing various large materials.
The building occupies more than half of the entire base and looks very compact.
In addition, Qin Jin has very high requirements for the materials of each building.
Earthquake resistance, waterproofness, electrical protection, fire resistance, corrosion resistance, etc., must all be met.
Not counting some equipment that needed to be installed later, the building alone had cost Qin Jin more than 20 million.
Just one month after the construction started, the construction team was able to continue working after receiving an additional 10 million yuan in funding.
Otherwise, people are afraid that this weird boss will run away and no one will pay for it.
——————
It was late June.
Construction took almost two months.
The preliminary construction of the two-story basement has been completed.
Except for the electricity and water, everything else has basically been completed (water is specially reserved and connected to two pools outside, and you can use the water from the pond directly by turning on the switch).
Qin Jin brought a professional testing company he had hired to conduct quality inspections on the basement.
Zhang Xianlin, the construction leader next to Qin Jin, said with a wry smile:
"Boss Qin, you've been keeping an eye on the construction every day since it began. How could my people dare to slack off?! There's definitely no problem!"
Qin Jin said indifferently:
"I also believe that there is no problem with your team, Mr. Zhang. I am just doing some inspections and investigations. If there are any problems, we will correct them. If there are no problems, everyone will be fine. After all, I am the one who paid for the inspections."
Zhang Xianlin smiled and said nothing more.
This was the first time he had met a client like Qin Jin. Not only was the design bizarre, but he also supervised the construction throughout the entire process.
It's difficult for his subordinates to make money.
So there really was no cutting corners on Qin Jin's part.
The test results are out.
There is no problem with the structure and strength of the two underground floors.
There are just some minor flaws that need to be repaired. Please ask Mr. Zhang to arrange it.
Most of the buildings on the ground have almost completed their frames, and they continue to pour concrete. Once the interior decoration is completed, they can be used for simple office work or living.
It is expected to take another two months to complete.
That is to say, he still has two months to complete the construction of the base and prepare the supplies.
There is still plenty of time.
It's not like I had nothing to do in the two months before preparing the supplies.
We have already found a professional manager, Wang Yang, a middle-aged man with many years of management experience.
He was in his forties and in a period of career gap. After his interview, he was hired by Green Source Food Factory, and they began to arrange for him to be a security guard, a planting expert, and a plumber.
Qin Jin requested that the people he recruited must have good character and personality.
It is best to bring a family, and you can relax appropriately according to your age.
Afterwards, he worked tirelessly to find various equipment organizations and customize the equipment that would be used in various bases in the future.
Various interface positions have been reserved during the construction of the basement. Now is the time to bring in professional ventilation, refrigeration, thermal insulation, moisture retention, waterproofing, and fire prevention equipment.
I directly hired someone to build a modern indoor environment system and installed it in both basements.
Other ground buildings also have simpler systems.
At least you don't have to worry too much when you encounter hot or cold weather in the future.
Then there is the very important base power system.
Find an electrical equipment company.
Let them design a complete self-circulating electric energy system.
The latest corrosion-resistant, retractable solar panels are installed on the roof of each building.
Special space has been set aside at the base to build commercial power generation equipment, and thousands of batteries and storage equipment have been purchased, which can store 80,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity.
An ordinary non-high-energy-consumption factory consumes between one thousand and two or three kilowatt-hours of electricity per day.
If the electricity stored in the Green Source Base is used normally, it is expected to be used continuously for more than one month, and it can last longer if used sparingly.
The base will be filled with surveillance equipment in the future. This equipment will definitely work for a long time, plus some electrical appliances, all-day lighting, basement ventilation and insulation systems, ground greenhouse ventilation systems, etc.
Some can be turned on all day, and some can be turned on intermittently. It is estimated that the base consumes 400-700 degrees of electricity a day.
The actual situation will only be known at the end of the world. Now we can only imagine it, which is definitely inaccurate.
Solar power generation and photovoltaic power generation are a kind of high-efficiency photoelectric conversion, which means that electricity can only be generated when there is sunlight.
The base's main source of electricity will depend on this in the future.
There is no need to think about hydropower generation, and wind power generation is not suitable either, as the conditions in the south do not meet the requirements.
Moreover, wind power equipment is expensive, so it is better to buy more batteries and solar panels.
Assuming 8 hours of sunshine a day, 1KW*8 is 8 kWh of electricity.
After passing through the battery and inverter circuit, the efficiency is only 80%.
That means 6.4 kWh of electricity can be generated per day.
Taking sunlight and other factors into consideration, an average household with an area of 60-80 square meters on its roof can generate about 4 kilowatt-hours of electricity.
All rooftop greenhouses at the base are equipped with solar panels to cover an area of more than 10,000 square meters.
500 kWh of electricity is generated per day.
We have also purchased more than ten generators, and diesel generators will also be used when solar energy is not enough.
As a perpetual motion machine in the end times.
Qin Jin had thought about the idea of using zombies to generate electricity and making some fixed equipment.
Like a bicycle or a treadmill, mechanical rotation or up-and-down pedaling can be converted into electrical energy. This mechanical power generation method has also been consulted with professionals, and the answer is that it is extremely inefficient.
One machine may not be able to convert one kilowatt-hour of electricity even if it is operated for a whole day, and it is difficult to control the zombies to move constantly, and the efficiency is even lower when it moves fast or slowly.
If one zombie pedals a generator bicycle to generate 1 kilowatt-hour of electricity per day under ideal conditions, to generate 1,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity per day, more than 1,000 generators would need to run nonstop throughout the day.
To house 20 of these power-generating bicycles in a 100-square-meter room would require more than 50 rooms, several buildings, and multiple people to manage them.
Moreover, zombies have the potential to mutate and evolve, and if something goes wrong, it can easily cause a disaster.
This idea is not very realistic at the moment. We will consider it again after the base grows stronger.
Once the base is on track, the electricity consumption may reach tens of thousands of kilowatt-hours a day.
This method can only be used as an alternative supplementary solution.
Regarding the base security mentioned earlier, Qin Jin plans to install surveillance cameras inside and outside every building.
The walls around the outside are even more indispensable, and one should be installed at regular intervals.
Space has been reserved at the four corners of the wall for the construction of watchtowers after the apocalypse (building them in peacetime would be too conspicuous and unacceptable).
The night of mutation has not yet arrived, and we are still in a harmonious society, so many things still need to abide by the rules.
Directly build a wall over 10 meters high and a watchtower.
Believe it or not, it will be reported and stripped off immediately, and the person responsible will be arrested.
Qin Jin doesn't want to be in jail when the end of the world comes.
It would be better to just cut your own throat early.
The current 5-meter-high wall and two-story basement were promises obtained after repeated communication, connections, and money spent with leaders and relevant personnel.
Otherwise, no one would dare to build it like this.
Thanks to the name of a high-tech agricultural product company, it fits the current theme of developing a green and healthy society.
There is room for maneuver for many things.
Finally, there is the base exit.
Divided into two.
There is a main gate facing south with double doors. Someone was hired internally to design a set of large, mechanically supercharged steel doors, which are 5.5 meters high and can be pushed from both sides. They have small and medium doors and are 3 meters high. Normally, only the small door needs to be opened for vehicles to pass through.
Some large equipment transportation doors can be opened manually and the hydraulic pump can be started electrically. Even if there are many people, they cannot stop the door from opening and closing, eliminating the situation where the door is blocked by humans or monsters.
There is also a hollow iron fence door to the outside, which provides an extra layer of defense after opening the inner door.
There is also an anti-collision device in front of the gate. After it is activated, the anti-collision steel pier will rise. Even if a fully loaded dump truck rushes at full speed, it will have to stop and kowtow.
There is also a small exit to the north, which is also divided into three layers of doors, only 2.5 meters high. It is also a high steel door with a hydraulic pump, mechanical booster control, and there are two hollow stainless steel doors to the outside and inside.
The entire base is not impregnable, but it is pretty close.
It is only because of the limited funds and human management factors that it can be built like this initially.
In the end times, the more people there are, the better. Food consumption also needs to be considered.
Also, never test human nature!
