Chapter 1625 Great Development Opportunities During Drought!

Ding-ling-ling——

A crisp bell sound cut through the entire trading market.

Bang-bang-bang——

The heavy gate of the trading market moved towards the middle with a bang and finally merged.

As the sun set, the gate of the trading market was completely closed.

The trading market gate is open at 8 am and closes at 6 pm.

Without exception, it will open and close at these two points.

Oil City.

Liu Jinglue and Li Zhengping found Uncle San to report on their work.

Uncle San just came down from upstairs at this time. After seeing Liu Jinglue, he asked: "How many survivors flowed in today?"

Liu Jinglue hurriedly said: "Today's inflow of population reached 8,000, and the current population of the trading market has reached 108,920."

Uncle San raised his head and sighed: "Unknowingly, the population of the trading market has reached 100,000."

"Zhengping, what do you want to talk to me about?" Uncle San looked at Li Zhengping and asked.

Li Zhengping said seriously: "Another public security incident occurred in the commercial district today. The patrol team is currently short of manpower. I want to expand the number of patrol teams or transfer manpower from other departments."

Uncle San frowned, thought about it and said:

"Okay, tomorrow I will ask Chen Er's brigade to transfer a squadron to help you."

"Okay." Li Zhengping was relieved when he heard Uncle San agreed.

The population of the trading market has increased recently, and many of them are coming to the trading market for the first time.

This group of people had heard of the trading market before, but had never been there.

Later, when they learned that there was a water plant here, they rushed in.

Now there is a shortage of water outside. Although there are ways to obtain water sources, obtaining water sources is unstable and requires great risk of life, which is not worth the loss.

So they came to the trading market one after another.

The entry of this group of people also brought pressure to;

The public security management of the trading market.

Uncle San said to Li Zhengping:

"There are more people in the trading market now. You should lead the patrol team to be careful and don't let a big riot happen. Now and in recent years, it is very chaotic. We should use iron-blooded means and never be soft-hearted. In addition, we must strengthen the standardized management of the trading market to prevent emergencies."

Li Zhengping nodded and said seriously: "I understand, Uncle San. We shot and killed the robber rioter today on the spot."

"Well, do you two have anything else to do?" Uncle San asked.

Liu Jinglue hesitated and said:

"There is something. I found that some survivors came in. They didn't come to enter the trading market, but to buy water. I think, why don't we lead a water pipe to the outside of the gate and sell water outside the trading market."

"When the gate was closed today, in order to let the people in line in, the city was full. If this continues, we can't check it all."

The drought lasted for more than four months, and water resources became increasingly scarce.

The trading market can provide clean water, which is very tempting for the survivors.

"Okay, tomorrow or today, you can talk to Jie Changshan about this."

"Okay." Liu Jinglue nodded.

Regarding the water problem, many people can only use ten liters of water at most. The price is about 0.03 points.

It is about the price of a tortilla.

"However, in terms of the selling price, is it still the same in the trading market?" Liu Jinglue asked.

"You can talk to Zhong Chuchu about this." Uncle San replied.

Since the successful construction of the water plant, the price of clean water in the trading market has dropped a lot.

Now the price of each liter of water is 0.001 points.

100 liters of water is only 0.1 points, which is very cheap.

100 liters of water, the price is not even as high as 0.25 points for a tortilla.

Liu Jinglue asked with some concern:

"Now the number of people entering the trading market is increasing every day. Should we control the influx of population?"

This question happened to ask the question that Uncle San was thinking about these days.

He also felt that although the population continued to grow, it seemed to be a good thing, but it would pose hidden dangers to the safety of the trading market and the oil city.

Uncle San answered:

"I will discuss the question you asked with the headquarters base, and I will notify you when the result is reached."

"Okay."

After the two reported their work, they left here and went to the cafeteria.

Uncle San went to the conference room and sat down next to the operator.

"Connect to the headquarters base, let the city lord and the president take their seats, and say I have something to talk to them about."

"Yes!" The operator was startled when he heard a sudden voice from behind.

Uncle San walked very quietly, and the operator didn't notice until he sat down.

A few minutes later.

The operator turned his head and said to Uncle San: "Minister, the city lord and the president at the headquarters base are ready and can communicate at any time."

At the same time, he stood up and made way for Uncle San.

Uncle San was not polite, and sat directly in his seat and put on the headset.

"I am Li Hongqian, second brother, Xiaoyu, are you all here?"

In the big camphor tree base.

Li Yu, who had just returned from running, was stopped by his second uncle and came to the inner city meeting room together.

Li Yu had a towel around his neck and came to the radio, "I can hear you, third uncle, go ahead."

The third uncle didn't waste any words and said straight to the point:

"After the water plant was built, the population entering the trading market increased dramatically, and now the population in the trading market has reached 100,000."

"I'm thinking that the trading market's capacity is limited. Should we start from now on and raise the threshold for entering the trading market to avoid problems such as riots and riots caused by too many people in the trading market."

In just a few words, the third uncle explained the causes, consequences, and problems clearly.

When Li Yu heard this, he glanced at his second uncle next to him.

He sat down silently.

He was actually quite surprised that the population of the trading market was growing so fast!

Half happy and half sad.

As far as he knew, Nanwan Lake was huge. Before the end of the world, it was the largest lake in the Central Plains. It was more than ten times the size of West Lake in Hangzhou. The water area reached 75 square kilometers, and the total water storage volume reached more than one billion cubic meters. .

One cubic meter of water is approximately one ton.

This means that there are more than one billion tons of water in Nanwan Lake.

It's no fun to feed hundreds of thousands or even millions of people with so much water.

He has also recently been thinking about how long the drought will last and what the accumulation of clouds in the sky will cause.

After thinking for a long time, he found that all they could do was develop a base.

Without foresight, we can only proceed steadily, strengthen our strength, and improve our technology.

Since the Dazhangshu base evolved from the "Gou" strategy to the "Tuo" strategy two years ago, the overall strength of Dazhangshu has been like a running train that cannot stop.

If it were placed at the Da Zhangshu Base a few years ago, there would not be such a problem at all.

When a natural disaster comes, they close the door and don't care about the other survivors outside.

Stay at your base and survive the natural disaster.

But things are different now. Da Zhangshu's power has developed to this point, and it can no longer stop if it tries to put the brakes on.

After so many years of the end of the world, the number of survivors is getting smaller and smaller.

It can be expected that the future population will also be an extremely important strategic resource.

Allowing more people to survive has become the goal of the Da Zhangshu Base.

They no longer stay in a turtle shell like they used to, having small fights.

The current Da Zhangshu Base is too big and too powerful.

Looking at it from the perspective of the future, they are much bigger than before in terms of their mind and structure.

The population should be kept as large as possible.

Otherwise, just relying on the later stage to upgrade will be too slow and take too long.

Now that there is an opportunity to expand the population of the trading market again, why not do it.

Absorbing the population can increase strength and influence.

At the same time, the increase in talent can also promote progress in all aspects and even science and technology.

As long as they become strong enough, solving the northwest is only a small problem.

After thinking in his brain for a long time, Li Yu said:

"I don't think there is any need to restrict survivors from entering the trading market."

The second uncle looked at Li Yu with some surprise when he heard this. He originally thought that Li Yu would restrict it. After all, the current drought is not over yet, and the accumulated clouds in the sky are frightening.

At this time, the more people are pouring into the trading market, the greater the management pressure will be if an unexpected natural disaster occurs later!

Is this still the stable Xiaoyu he sees?

"Second brother, what do you think?" Third uncle asked.

The second uncle took a deep breath and said:

"I think it's better to take it slow. With so many people pouring in all at once, and natural disasters full of uncertainties, it might easily overwhelm the trading market! If survivors are not restricted from entering, if there is a riot , I’m afraid it’s difficult to manage.”

"It is not easy for the trading market to reach this level. We must stabilize it."

Li Yu heard this and retorted:

"Have you ever thought about building a buffer city in the trading market in advance?"

"Now that there are so many survivors joining us, why not just take advantage of them and build a buffer city? Then we can stuff all the fifth-level members into the buffer city."

"Buffer City?!?" The second uncle was a little shocked when he heard this.

"But... it's a simple matter to let them in. Let them build, but we have to pay for food! We feed so many people, and the food pressure is too great!"

Li Yu chuckled softly:

"We can afford it. The current food reserves can support our full development for at least half a year!"

"More than four months have passed since the thunderstorm disaster. The crops in the 20,000 acres in the northern border and the buffer city of the headquarters base are being harvested one after another! All the food will be harvested before the end of this month! With this food, it will not be a problem to feed this population for half a year. "

"In addition, as long as the buffer city of the trading bazaar is built within half a year, and greenhouses are built in the buffer city of the trading bazaar, a positive cycle can be achieved."

Li Yu has been thinking a lot these days.

The sudden increase in the population of the trading market did not just happen today. He knew about it a few days ago.

When he learned the news, he had an idea.

Use the growth of population to enhance the strength of the big camphor tree forces and solve the northwest first.

Then try to find other meteorites to completely end the problem of natural disasters.

Only development is the last word.

The siphon effect of the population explosion will bring about faster construction speed. If more people can be saved, more food can be produced.

More food can feed more people.

Since it is impossible to judge the future natural disasters, we have been passively defensive and clinging to the basic market is no longer feasible.

Then there will be more and more people, forming a positive cycle. The more it is built, the more food it will produce.

The faster the base will develop.

After being reminded by Li Yu, the second uncle was stunned for a moment.

He then remembered that the grain reserves of the Dazhangshu base were already very large.

More than four months ago, when the thunderstorm disaster had just ended, more than 10,000 acres in the north and the newly built greenhouses at the headquarters of the Dazhangshu base were planted with crops.

Apart from other things, the harvested crops have accumulated in the granaries of the north and the Dazhangshu base.

Moreover, due to the use of greenhouse planting, the growth of crops is minimally affected by natural disasters and can produce food continuously.

Therefore, the food pressure he mentioned is basically no problem.

The second uncle was a little emotional. The plate is big, and the productivity that has exploded is really amazing.

Their Dazhangshu base used to rely on the greenhouses in the inner and outer cities to plant crops, and only produced thousands of tons of food every year.

Now the production of food in the first quarter has reached tens of thousands of tons, a tenfold increase!

The second uncle was silent for a long time, still feeling a little uneasy.

So he said:

"There is no problem with food, but there is a problem with the management pressure of the trading market. We have no experience in managing a base with more than 100,000 people."

As soon as the voice fell, the third uncle said:

"Second brother, you don't have to worry about this."

"Survivors entering the trading market must hand in their weapons. They have no weapons, and even if there is a big riot, we can suppress it."

Use heavy punishment for chaos.

This is vividly reflected in the trading market.

Up to now, the rules set by the trading market are that survivors are not allowed to rob or have physical conflicts inside.

Once violated, the involved parties will be killed.

No matter how hot-tempered the survivors are, I can't control you outside, but you must be honest when you enter the trading market.

There is no trial and error cost here, and it doesn't matter if you repent, cry and kneel down to beg for mercy.

As long as you violate the management regulations of the trading market, there is only one end.

Death!

They have posted the regulations on the city gates, in the city walls, and even in conspicuous places in the trading market.

Those who dare to make mistakes like this can only seek their own death.

Therefore, in the eyes of the third uncle, as long as there is no chaos in the oil city, there will be no chaos in the trading market.

Even if tens of thousands of people riot in the trading market, they are holding hot weapons and are simply crushing the unarmed survivors.

And these survivors will not think of making trouble in the trading market.

Because there is only one way to die.

After hearing what the third uncle said, the second uncle wanted to find some reasons to oppose Li Yu's idea.

But whether it is from the perspective of food or management, there seems to be no problem.

He couldn't think of other problems for a while.

I had to say: "I haven't thought of any possible problems for the time being, but I'd better think about it carefully."

Uncle San also said: "Don't worry, the current trading market is designed to accommodate a population of 180,000 people, and now it is less than 110,000 people."

"However, it is best to decide in the next few days, because if you want to build a buffer city, you have to prepare in advance."

"Okay, Uncle San, we will hold a seminar at the headquarters base in the next two days to brainstorm and listen to everyone's ideas." Li Yu replied.

"Okay, I'll wait for your news."
