Chapter 186: Seizing the Light (Part 2)

11 o'clock in the evening

On the side of the road that has been built outside the 108th district on the ground floor, a large group of people carrying large and small bags of leftover food are quietly queuing up and waiting for transactions.

The small market proposed by Le Xiao has been fully established. Transactions can be made on both sides of the road after 11 o'clock every night, but they must abide by the order. Many people in the barrier area have worked all day and are very tired. They hold the money in their hands and want to buy as much food as possible.

A lot of food is left over from the shops on the ground floor. In the past, these foods would be sold cheaply, but if they cannot be sold, they can only be used to make biological nutrient solution, or directly purchased by people in the liquid food factory.

But now all districts are advocating to sell these foods to people in the barrier area who work in the city. Many shop owners have responded. After all, it is edible food, but there are many scraps and leftovers. They can still be sold at a price. Selling them to people in the barrier area is of course the best choice.

Many people sold their food as soon as they went up, and left happily after collecting the money. This was not only the businessmen, but also the nearby residents. Some of the leftover food, such as rice and bread, or the extra part, was sold to the people in the Barrier District at a low price, which was a good income for them.

Before, the people in the Barrier District who went to the city to work were provided with two meals a day, but now they are no longer provided, and they can use the money they earn to buy everything they need.

Many people at the bottom have seen business opportunities, and more and more residents at the bottom are applying for some stalls. New stalls will appear every day. People in the Barrier District basically have countless needs for food and daily necessities.

Trucks started after being filled with people. Some people in the Barrier District need to go back to the base under construction in the Barrier District to sleep, and only some can stay in the city.

Many reporters are reporting on this small trading market. Although the transaction amount is not large, only a few yuan at most at a time, and most of the time it is less than one yuan, but now this kind of transaction is getting bigger and bigger, and some businessmen who see business opportunities have also begun to bring many obsolete products in stock.

Especially a photovoltaic product that was very popular in the past, the heater is very popular, the price is only 30 yuan each, just need to be placed in a place where the sun can shine, and put it in the room for heating on cold nights.

Now the wages of people who come to the city to work in the Barrier Zone have also increased by a few yuan after the food supply was 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 Skeleton Guild. They were all dusty and looked extremely tired. They got off the truck directly and walked through the queue.

"I'm tired to death."

Xiong Dabiao muttered, and Olivia smiled.

"You haven't worked so hard for 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 no longer looked as cold as before. Both buyers and sellers were very enthusiastic and bargained.

"That little girl did a great job."

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

"Boss, bring out the delicious food and drinks."

More than 30 people in their group immediately filled the tavern. The boss asked about the situation of the agricultural base in the barrier area with a smile. Xiong Dabiao was about to speak when Olivia stopped him because she noticed some reporters nearby.

The construction facilities in the barrier area are still not ideal. The windbreak is still under construction, but there will be some problems after a day of construction. They can only grit their teeth to build the windbreak first, and then start to build the building.

If the current situation is reported, it will cause problems in the city.

"Everything is going well."

Olivia responded directly with one sentence and glanced at some reporters who ran in.

"Interview shit, I'm so hungry that I'm dizzy."

Xiong Dabiao scolded angrily, and the reporters left tactfully.

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

The workers we had found before have gone back, and many of them have fallen ill. Even though 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 the reporters with some anger, because these reporters made a fuss, interviewed the sick workers, and magnified the matter. According to the operation records during this period, Section 4 has given clear physical function problems that occur in severe cold. If only scientific shift management is needed, many workers can fully adapt.

"What should I do, President?"

Eric took a glass of beer tiredly and drank it all.

"Who knows, you guys go back to work later, Olivia and I will run around."

There is no way now. The entire agricultural base is extremely short of manpower. Even the people from Sections 12 and 3 are helping, but they are not workers and cannot participate in the construction work.

Although some section members tried to help, they often messed up. In such a harsh construction environment, professional workers are more needed.

"We can't delay it any longer Dabiao. Even if we force it, we have to send a group of workers over. After all, if we delay it for one day, the situation of the entire base will be worse."

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

Of course, Xiong Dabiao also knew that the construction at this stage was getting more and more difficult. Unless the sunlight could reach the agricultural base, the wind and sand would fade away after a while, but obviously this was impossible.

Although Section 10 has come up with some relatively high-performance machinery, in many cases in the wind and sand, some delicate operations can only be done by manpower.

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

At this time, a phone call came. Olivia was a little confused and glanced at it. It was Hima, the secretary of Section 3.

"Is something wrong, Secretary Xima?"

"Where are you now?"

Olivia became confused, and Xima explained the situation. Angus and his wife planned to go to the barrier area again, hoping that they could help protect it, because there were a lot of things in Section 3, and it was temporarily impossible to allocate capable manpower to protect it.

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

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

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

Xiong Dabiao's teeth were itching. Soon after eating, the local officer from Section 5 found them and said that the Angus family had brought many engineers waiting at the southern guard station and asked them to hurry up.

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

Xiong Dabiao was stunned when he met Xiong Dabiao. Angus and his wife brought more than 200 Angus engineers from many fields.

"What is this for?"

Avano laughed.

"Only in the evening will the wind lessen and we can actually see something."

Then everyone got on the lift and headed to the barrier area, and when they arrived near the base, they could hear a lot of talking and laughing. Many houses built on the leeward side had been connected together, and they looked more consolidated than before. Some.

"First we have to solve the power problem."

Avano said as soon as he got out of the lift. Xiong Dabiao nodded. Electricity is indeed a problem. There is indeed a problem with the power supply here. Although there are currently plans to release a cable from the city, many plans have been studied but are not feasible for the time being. , can only use bacterial batteries to generate electricity.

The biggest problem with bacterial battery power generation is that it is slow and requires frequent addition of culture fluid. Also, due to the harsh environment, the external structure of the battery often needs to be inspected to avoid leakage problems.

"Do you have a plan?"

Xiong Dabiao asked, in fact, if electric energy can be supplied, they can invest in more machinery and be more efficient, but electric energy is always a big problem.

"What do you think about using these winds to your advantage, Dabiao?"

Xiong Dabiao groaned. At this time, an engineer from the Angus family took out a design drawing. Everyone present was stunned when they saw it. This strange-shaped machine composed of many fans looked very huge. Fans all come in different sizes.

An engineer explained that this type of power-generating fan is not a traditional direct-facing fan, but is designed to collect wind power to the greatest extent and prevent strong winds from causing excessive damage to the machinery.

The wind blowing over will be divided by many fans of different shapes on the front, and then poured into other models of fans. All fans have small motors, and when the fans rotate, they will continuously generate electricity.

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

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

A wind turbine nearly 10 meters high and 8 meters in diameter with dense fans was installed. Everyone looked at this strange-shaped thing and felt surprised.

"This is actually an idea I had when I was young, and it has been tested. At that time, I thought that the barrier area was such a good place, why not install a lot of wind turbines, which could provide a lot of electricity to the city. But Mr. Jean once After taking me to the barrier area to see it once, I knew why I couldn’t pretend.”

Everyone present laughed. Indeed, when there was huge conflict between the barrier zone and the city in the past, the generator was probably stolen and destroyed within a few days of installation.

An engineer continued to explain that this kind of generator can rotate and generate electricity safely even if the wind speed exceeds 100 kilometers, because it is made of the hardest alloy in the bright city.

The only difficult part of this kind of generator is regular cleaning of the fan and maintenance of the motor. But everything is not a problem. Avano and his family of engineers have already made improvements. It is easy to disassemble and can be disassembled regularly. For cleaning, you can rely on small robots.

More and more people from 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 one hour, eight generators have been installed based on the wind speed tested previously, and the metal storage batteries have begun to be connected. As long as tomorrow, we will know how much power can be stored.

Looking at the fan turning in the breeze, electricity has begun to appear, and Xiong Dabiao laughed happily.

"It's really a good idea, wind power generation."

Avano hummed.

"We will succeed, Dabiao. As long as the problem of electricity is solved, your work efficiency can also be improved. Now I heard that you are in great need of workers, right?"

Xiong Dabiao nodded. Indeed, if the problem of electricity can be solved, their efficiency can be three or four times faster, or even more.

At this time, Olivia, who was standing aside, looked at the two large take-off and landing machines of the Angus family coming from a distance and smiled slightly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for working in such a bad situation. I hope to hold a simple banquet for everyone."

A lot of people cheered excitedly, and soon two large take-off and landing machines loaded with food landed. Four or five of them were enough for 100,000 people to enjoy. Along with them came the chefs hired by the Angus family, as well as some wine and drinks.

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

"Da Biao, are you still hungry?"

Avano asked, and Xiong Da Biao burst into laughter. In the past, Xiong Da Biao would visit Niya's house from time to time and tell Angus and his wife about Niya's situation. Avano liked this guy who was careless but extremely honest and warm-hearted, and he had tried his best to protect Niya in the past.

The Angus family was very grateful to Xiong Da Biao. Avano thought of many candidates for this construction, but in the end he suggested that Xiong Da Biao and his team take charge. Ye Chunwang also thought so. After all, it was much better to hand it over to a group of kind and enthusiastic people than to some guys who only wanted to make a lot of money.

Soon in the breeze, the aroma of food spread. There were not only a lot of vegetables, noodles and meat. Although each person could only get one portion and a bottle of wine, it was already worth it for many people in the barrier area to be extremely happy.

"Da Biao, thank you so much."

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

"Isn't it good now?"

Avano hummed. He had many ideas in the past that needed to be realized in the Barrier Zone. Now the opportunity has come, the opportunity for the light to shine into the Barrier Zone has come.
