Chapter 654 Snowflakes are falling and zombies are roaring

Big camphor tree base.

The weather is cold and the ground is freezing, and the sky is covered with heavy snow, like catkins fluttering, and there is no sign of stopping at all.

inner city.

After yesterday's overtime work at night, the renovation of the greenhouse was finally completed.

At six o'clock in the morning, the entire base was still quiet, and there was no trace of anyone in the aisles.

Squeak——

In a residential building in the inner city, the door of a room was opened, and Aunt Zhou looked at the heavy snow falling outside, which was completely white.

"Hey! It's snowing!" Aunt Zhou quickly put on her hat and gloves and walked to the cafeteria. She was already half an hour late today, but she didn't expect that there was still no one outside.

"Let's make porridge today." Aunt Zhou murmured after arriving at the door of the cafeteria.

Breakfast is served at the base at 7:30, and she still has an hour and a half to prepare.

Later, from other rooms, Li's mother, Wang Cheng's wife and others came one after another to make breakfast together.

at the same time.

Li Haoran, who was on duty on the wall, walked out of the duty room wearing a hat and shawl, holding a gun in gloves.

The snow on the fence crunched under his shoes.

Outside the base, it was even more white.

The original small road was covered with snow, and the snow had become much thicker last night.

After Li Haoran left the duty room, he walked around the wall until he reached the duty room two hundred meters to the west, then returned the same way, and then walked to the duty room on the east side.

Five minutes later, after walking around both sides, he returned to the duty room.

Pushing open the door of the duty room, a warm breeze blew in. I had just walked around, and I was wearing thermal clothes under my clothes. In addition, I had just walked around, and now I was back in a warm place, and I was slightly sweating.

So he took off his coat, hat and gloves, sat on the stool, and looked at the surveillance room camera screen.

Looking at the clear camera screen, he put his gloves on the table and said to Lao Xie and his aunt Li Qingqing who were sitting opposite: "I just cleaned the snow on the camera, can you see clearly now?"

Li Qingqing sat on the stool, yawned and said, "Okay, it looks much clearer now."

The three of them were working the night shift here last night. They were on duty from 12 o'clock in the evening until now, and they were somewhat sleepy. However, as long as they waited until eight o'clock in the morning, their shift would end.

Lao Xie also nodded and said with a smile: "It's much clearer, but it's all the same outside, it's all snow. If we really let people stay outside, they probably won't be able to stay long."

Li Haoran nodded and said, "Uncle Xie, I just looked at the thermometer hanging outside. The current outdoor temperature is 25 degrees, below zero."

"It's so cold." When Lao Xie said this, he tightened his clothes.

Although he was indoors and had heating, so they couldn't get cold, but the cold weather outside still made him feel a little chilly.

This is psychological.

And in the inner city.

Li Yu's biological clock made him wake up at six o'clock.

Last night, he was busy until 11 o'clock. After washing, it was already 12 o'clock, and he slept for six hours. There was nothing much to do this morning, and the arrangements that should be made have been arranged long ago.

So he wanted to sleep in the quilt for a while longer.

The snow falling outside the window naturally has a hypnotic atmosphere.

After the indoor heating was turned on, the air was a little dry, so Li Yu turned on the humidifier again.

The humidifier spray adjusts the humidity in the room.

Li Yu slept for more than an hour when he returned to his cage. It was almost eight o'clock when he got up.

hungry.

After washing, he checked the outdoor temperature as usual. When he saw the value of minus twenty-five, he was shocked.

I didn't expect the temperature to drop so much last night in just one night.

Thinking of the greenhouse, his first concern was not whether Anya and the others had moved the crop seedlings there, but the issue of power generation.

Originally, if a greenhouse had not been built, the base would have relied on photovoltaic power generation and wind power generation to maintain the operation of the base.

But now these greenhouses are the ones that consume the most electricity.

Li Yu knew that before building the greenhouse, their underground plantations consumed the most electricity.

However, the area of ​​underground plantations cannot be compared with that of greenhouses on the surface. The area of ​​greenhouses is several times larger than that of underground plantations.

So, Li Yu quickly ran downstairs and knocked on the door of Li Hang's room.

Li Hang opened the door sleepily and followed Li Yu to the living room.

In the past few days, he has been busy building a zombie generator, and he didn't even care about the greenhouse.

"How many zombie generators are there now? Now that the greenhouse has been built, can the zombie generator directly solve the electricity consumption of the greenhouse?" Li Yu asked directly when he saw Li Hang opening the door.

Li Hang was obviously not sober. It took him two seconds to realize what Li Yu had asked.

So we started to calculate: "There are now a total of 150 zombie generators. Each zombie generator can produce 0.35 kilowatt-hours of electricity per hour, which is equivalent to the zombie generator producing 52.5 kilowatt-hours of electricity per hour and 1,260 kilowatt-hours of electricity per day."

The more he calculated, the clearer his mind became.

He continued: "According to what my father-in-law said, at least two 5P variable frequency air energy generators are installed in each greenhouse to cover a space of 2,000 square meters.

The heating power at minus 20°C is 3.9KW, that is, 3.9 kWh for one hour, and 39 kWh for ten hours. Two units are 78 degrees.

If the set temperature is reached, the variable frequency air energy will switch to low-frequency operation. At this time, it may only require 2 to 4 kilowatt-hours of electricity per hour, so the power consumption is about 70 kilowatt-hours 24 hours a day. "

"Then add thirty greenhouses, which means 2,100 kilowatt-hours of electricity are needed a day. The current zombie generator can produce 1,260 kilowatt-hours of electricity, with a gap of 840 kilowatt-hours. If there are 150 units, then 100 zombie generators are needed. machine."

Hearing this, Li Yu frowned and said, "So, if all the greenhouses are opened now, the electricity generated by the zombie generators is not enough, right?"

Li Hang nodded and said, "Yes, but our production speed is very fast now. Now that we are proficient in production, we can produce one hundred units very fast. At the current speed, we can produce them in three days."

Li Yu was relieved after hearing this.

If this is the case, there is no need to worry at all. Today, when moving crops in the greenhouse, you will worry about the problem of insufficient power.

All the crop seedlings need to be moved into these dozens of acres of land. If you delay the time, you can wait for three days. In fact, there is no need to wait. Use solar power to support it first, and wait until the power of the zombie generator is solved. , and then turn it back.

Thinking of this, Li Yu said to Li Hang seriously: "The zombie generator is very important. Next, your main focus will be on producing more zombie generators."

Li Hang was a little startled, and asked, "How much does it cost?"

Li Yu thought for a while and said: "Let's set a small goal for the time being and produce another 600 units. The weather is very cold. Since there are conditions, let's produce more. Don't be like last winter, when everyone ran away to save electricity. Went to the underground growing room."

Li Hang simply calculated the numbers and found that if another 600 units were produced, that would be 750 zombie generators. In that case, the zombie generators alone could produce more than two million kilowatt hours of electricity in a year.

In this case, it will completely surpass photovoltaic solar energy and become the first source of electric energy in the base.

Realizing the importance of this matter, Li Hang nodded heavily and said, "Okay, brother, I'll go right away."

After saying that, he walked downstairs.

When Li Yu saw this, he stopped him and said to Li Hang: "Don't be so anxious. Get dressed, have breakfast and then get started with this matter. In addition, you can also talk to Zhou Ran and the others about these things."

Li Hang glanced at the pajamas on his body, scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Oh yes, that's fine."

Li Yu watched him return to the room to change clothes.

He also went back to the room upstairs, looking at the heavy snow outside the window, the sense of urgency in Li Yu's heart was a little less urgent.

As long as the power problem is solved, this winter should not be too bad.

On this day, most of the non-staff personnel arrived in the greenhouse of the First Outer City. Later, some personnel who cooperated with the Da Zhangshu Base also came to seek shelter under the wall.

The second uncle who was on duty during the day also obeyed Li Yu's decision and still let these people in.

Just, as before, a full body check and weapons and equipment were handed over.

As of 12 noon today, one-half of the cooperators have come in.

The number of people in the greenhouse at the far end of the First Outer City also surged to eight or nine hundred people.

However, because the non-staff personnel came in early, they were already stationed here. So those who come in later can only choose the remaining positions picked by others.

The increase in the number of people in Da Zhangshu Base has also increased its attraction to zombies.

The sense of smell of zombies is inherently sensitive, many times that of humans.

The more humans gather in a place, the stronger the human atmosphere will be, which will spread to farther places and attract more zombies.

The zombies outside the wall have also grown from a dozen at the beginning to dozens now, and even to more than a hundred at night.

The hair on the surface of these zombies has disappeared. Their bald heads and white skin all over their bodies naturally form a layer of camouflage in the blizzard. Sometimes, zombies in the wind and snow even from more than a hundred meters away can Unrecognizable.

One is the blocking of wind and snow, and the other is the fusion of zombie skin and white snow.

But fortunately, they have tall walls.

However, it is not very good news for the collaborators who come in later.

However, in all this, Li Yu could only let them wish for themselves.

Yishi.

Wayne spent a whole day inspecting the general situation of the winery.

Finally came to a sad result.

This winery cannot be destroyed by a hundred people.

Based on their observations over the past two days, they could see that there should indeed be some grain stored in this winery, and it seemed to be quite a lot.

But some of the people here should be the original employees of the winery.

The area of ​​this winery is much larger than he imagined. Although it is not as big as the Western Union, it is still a quarter of the size.

But after two days of observation, he roughly figured out that the number of people inside should be four to five hundred.

What he was sure of was that there was definitely more than just this kind of people in this place.

After all, it is such a large area, and he saw a tomb made of stones yesterday, with a large number of them, thousands of them.

In addition, we saw traces of repairs on a fence, which must have been hit by a large car.

Medium and large wineries like this usually have thousands of people.

According to his guess, there should be at least five thousand people in this place.

But now there are less than five hundred people.

Perhaps, because of the impact of natural disasters.

Among the four to five hundred people, some also held firearms, and the members were more complicated. Some were wearing military uniforms, some were wearing factory clothes, and some were wearing ordinary people's clothes.

One of the striking features is that these people are relatively thin and have sunken faces. From this, it can be inferred that they have food, which may not be much, or something has happened inside, class differentiation, and food is controlled by a few people. .

From the different types of clothes worn by the people inside, it can be inferred that the people who appear here should be composed of people who gathered from various places after the outbreak of the apocalypse.

Wayne felt a little pained. He and Gan Hu had brought dozens or hundreds of people in total, and now they had to force their way in and then rob the food.

This is not something that they can solve!

Not to mention anything else, what he saw alone was hundreds of people with guns in this winery.

How to fight this?

It’s very difficult!

Maybe, all of them will be trapped in this.

Gan Hu also followed, and he was irritated by Wayne's decision to investigate and study.

Although he had a bad temper, he was not a brainless person, so he agreed to observe it first.

This observation also made him feel that his trip was in vain.

The weather was blizzardy in the 20s.

Due to the favorable geographical location, they wanted to attack by force and break through the wall.

Human to human, the ratio is four to one, or even five to one.

How to fight this?

Wayne and Gan Hu's anger was poured into Lao Zhuang and Da Mao.

Lao Zhuang went to follow the Zhou and Liu families and was too late to catch them.

He had no choice but to vent his anger on the big cat.

The big cat is miserable, it has received so many supercilious looks in the past two days.

Gan Hu had a bad temper and immediately beat him up.

His eyes are still dark now. Who told him to come over without knowing the situation here?

What Big Cat said at the beginning was: Not much!

There are not many gods!

Thinking of Gan Hu, he felt a little angry and couldn't help but glare at the big cat.

It was freezing cold. Since we didn’t choose to attack, we had no choice but to go back.

The key is, it's such a cold day.

What a sin!

Speaking of Lao Zhuang.

His current situation is also a bit sad.

Since he had been following the Zhou and Liu families, he needed to be able to keep track of them and not be discovered, which required a lot of ability.

Fortunately, it started to snow in the past two days. Under the cover of wind and snow, they were not lost.

But helplessly, he watched the Zhou and Liu families enter a cottage yesterday, while he could only stay outside.

This cottage, if it were before the end of the world, might be easier to find.

But after the end of the world, especially after heavy snowfall, it is really difficult to go back the same way.

After Lao Zhuang and others entered the cottage yesterday with the Zhou and Liu families, they originally wanted to climb to a higher place to take a look at the situation in the cottage.

However, after these days of running around and the fact that Lao Zhuang is no longer a young man, he got out of the car yesterday and climbed halfway up the mountain in the heavy snow. He slipped into a snowdrift and was buried in the snow. He almost suffocated to death.

Helpless, when we got back to the car, Lao Zhuang was shaking all over and had a low fever.

House seemingly endless rain.

Perhaps because of the difficult mountain roads in this place, the heating power is not that powerful.

Even if they turned the vehicle's heater to maximum, it was still only able to maintain a temperature of more than ten degrees below zero in the car.

With no other choice, until the end, Lao Zhuang looked at the mountain village in the distance through the car window, and said confusedly: "Remember this place, let's go down the mountain and return to the Alliance."

The men who were traveling with him could not help but want to go back. At this time, they finally heard what Lao Zhuang said and were so moved that they wanted to cry.

Go down the mountain.

The road is slippery and it is easy to roll over.

They did not overturn, but they rushed down the mountain at an extremely fast speed and hit a big rock, causing a dent in the front of the car.

Looking around, they couldn't find any other cars in this remote place, so they had to continue driving. They had to look ahead to see if they could find the car.

However, they also know that most cars parked outdoors have been exposed to wind, rain, sun, acid and rain, and may even have been flooded.

Finding a car that you can still use is hard.

Lao Zhuang was curled up on the seat in the car. He wore many clothes, but he still felt cold to the bone.

Especially the cushion under my butt feels so cold.

Colorless mucus kept pouring out of his nose, and he felt extremely uncomfortable. His whole body was snoring like a blower box.

A place five kilometers away from the Da Zhangshu base.

A convoy was rushing here in a hurry, and several of the vehicles were dragging huge pieces of equipment.

This equipment is a large industrial boiler.

Boilers are one of the core equipment of power plants. They generate steam by burning coal, gas, etc. to drive steam turbines to generate electricity. This is an energy conversion device. The energy input to the boiler comes in the form of chemical energy in the fuel, electrical energy, thermal energy of high-temperature flue gas, etc., and after conversion by the boiler, it outputs steam, high-temperature water or organic heat carrier with a certain thermal energy. .

In terms of heating, the boiler is an important part of the heating system. By generating hot water or steam, it delivers heat energy to various heating equipment, such as radiators, floor heating, etc.

This thing is an important product on the exchange list of Da Zhangshu Base.

It is also a type of product that is very much needed in the Da Zhangshu base. With it, the heating and irrigation systems in the Da Zhangshu base can become more stable and balanced, and it can also be of great help in other aspects.

Because it is special equipment, it is difficult to find. It can only be found in some small thermal power stations or large factories.

At present, some particularly small boilers are used in Da Zhangshu Base.

They had just returned from other provinces, and the reason why they returned to Da Zhangshu Base now was because they had gone to move this equipment back from other places.

Yu Lei is the man whose leg was broken by Gan Gaojie.

Ever since he was rescued by Li Yu, especially after he saw Li Yu blowing Gan Gaojie's head off with an iron rod, he became Li Yu's diehard fan.

The last time I exchanged supplies, I heard Li Yu casually say that it would be nice if there was a larger boiler in the base.

He does not mean that.

He wrote it down, so he took the team members and the old guy from Team 10 with whom he had a good relationship, and went to another place to build a boiler together!

Blizzard.

In the convoy, Lao Fei from the non-staff group 10 saw the street trees blown by the wind and snow in front of him, and helplessly faced another car. Yu Lei from the eighth group shouted: "Old Shitou, I'm going down, your legs and feet are inconvenient. Just don’t go down there.”

Yu Lei didn't hear clearly and shouted loudly: "Qiansuo. What?"

The old man shouted loudly again.

Yu Lei then shouted: "Little!!! Heart!!! A little bit!!!"

The wind and snow were very strong, and the wind made people unable to stand.

He is not as fat as he was before. In the apocalypse, he is not as fat as before, but he is not light either. Others can't stand firmly in the blizzard, but he stands firmly and upright.

I saw him striding forward, braving the wind and snow, covering the hat on his head to prevent it from being blown away by the wind and snow, and walked towards the fallen street trees on the national highway.

In the snow.

The line of sight is greatly affected by the wind and snow. In the blizzard, it is a unique environment for zombies.

More than ten meters away, where Lao Fei couldn't see him, there were more than a dozen white-skinned zombies, slowly walking towards Lao Fei.

The wind was howling, and the old man couldn't see clearly, and he couldn't hear the roar of the zombies.
