Chapter 702 Not bad, I found a talent! [Big chapter, please subscribe and vote monthly]

Night falls.

Guangzhou Iron and Steel Plant.

Several fires and vehicle lights illuminated an open space next to the warehouse.

Everyone held their own rice bowls filled with fragrant snake meat and snake soup, paired with the mixed steamed buns distributed to them in the base.

Lao Qin was sitting on a big rock on the ground while chatting with his third uncle:

"Captain, after review in the afternoon, the statistics of the steel here are now 13,000 tons. With our trucks, if the load is approved to be 30 tons, but no one is in charge now. These trucks are all loaded with 40 tons. Ten trucks, 400 tons. Including the truck pickups we found from the industrial park, they can probably carry 150 tons, so we can bring back 550 tons in this trip. We estimate that we will need to transport so much steel many times."

The third uncle nodded, took a sip of the snake soup in the bowl and said:

"It's okay. We originally came here as a front stop. There are still some heavy trucks in the base. We will look around tomorrow morning to see if there are any trucks with a larger loading capacity. Try to pull as much steel back as possible."

Lao Qin pondered for a long time and asked: "Then should we leave some people here to guard these steel materials? After all, there are several forces following us on the road."

The third uncle shook his head and said: "No, they don't know about this steel factory. What they want is food. Steel is not that important to them. If they wanted it, they would have moved away long ago."

Lao Qin thought for a while and felt that what his third uncle said made sense, so he concentrated on the snake soup in his hand. This snake soup had to be drunk while it was hot, otherwise it would become fishy when it was cold.

The third uncle looked at the door, then waved Guo Peng over and asked him to send some to Gongsun Jing and others who were on duty at the door.

Tonight's duty schedule is still the same as before, and we are still vigilant.

Lao Qin was on duty in the first half of the night, and it happened that three people could sleep in the armored RV.

So we let the ants rest together in the RV. That night, the ants slept peacefully and deeply.

Quiet in the evening.

But as the light was swallowed up by darkness, the roars of zombies sounded around the steel plant.

Some sounds are far away and some are close.

The iron door at the door was re-welded, and a simple baffle was made with steel from the steel factory to seal the door.

They don't have to go out at night. They can just cut it open when they leave tomorrow.

On a building less than five kilometers away from them, those who appeared during the day took shelter here.

"Where did they come from, and what did they want to do here?"

"Have your car repaired as soon as possible tomorrow. It's true that you can hit a concrete pile with your car. I'm really unlucky to be out here with you."

"Ahem, didn't you say you have to hurry up?"

"Stop talking, the car must be repaired tomorrow. Let's go back quickly. Crow Crow and the others leave them alone. We just go back and report to Brother Dong. I don't want to have any contact with those fierce people."

"Yeah, I think so too."

As the conversation ended, the roaring sounds of the surrounding zombies became more obvious.

In the steel plant.

In the middle of the night, many zombies were attracted outside the gate.

There are thousands of them, constantly rushing against the big iron gate.

Upon seeing this, Lao Qin, who was on duty, quickly asked Zhu Xiao, who was also on duty, to drive a truck over and block the iron door.

Looking at the crumbling iron gate hit by zombies, Lao Qin put his rifle behind him, took out his crossbow, and shot at the zombie at the front.

At night, you can not use a gun, but it is best not to use a gun.

Even if a silencer is installed, there is still sound. Once more zombies are attracted, the trouble will be even greater.

As the crossbow fired, the zombies under the gate fell down.

Zhu Xiao quickly drove the truck over, and even though he was careful, he still made some noise.

The zombies outside the gate became even more agitated when they heard the sound, and they rushed against the iron gate with all their strength.

The iron gate was crumbling due to the impact. After two years of wind and rain, this large iron gate was still not very useful even though it had been strengthened during the day.

Whoosh whoosh——

Lao Qin kept shooting at the zombies, and several other people around him also used extended spears to stab the zombies below.

Even though I have fought zombies countless times, I still feel a little nervous every time I encounter them.

Just as the iron gate was about to be knocked down, the truck was still adjusting its direction.

"Hurry, the big iron gate can no longer hold up." Lao Qin shouted to Zhu Xiao who was driving behind him.

Zhu Xiao didn't care about anything else, turned the steering wheel to the full left, and then backed up against the wall.

Kakaka——

The car was against the wall, making some noise.

White marks were scratched on the truck's body, and large pieces of debris fell off the wall.

boom!

The truck pressed against the iron gate, sealing the large iron gate.

The three fixed iron bolts of the large iron gate collapsed outward due to the impact of the force of the truck.

The big iron door and the steel plates welded on it during the day collapsed straight onto the zombies outside the door.

This door wouldn't be too heavy if it wasn't reinforced by welding.

But in the afternoon, a layer of steel plate was welded, and the weight reached one ton.

The one-ton iron door fell on the zombies, pinning a dozen zombies near the door underneath.

"Okay." When Lao Qin saw this, his face lit up with joy.

Zhu Xiao went out from the right side of the car, climbed onto the roof, and looked at the zombies outside.

I saw thousands of zombies densely covering the small square outside the steel factory.

"It's okay, these beasts can't push the truck, come down. Be careful." Old Qin said to Zhu Xiao.

With this big truck blocking it and it hasn't rained recently, these zombies are not sensitive enough to climb and stack, so this kind of protection is enough.

It's just that someone should be on guard here at any time, in case zombies sneak in through the gaps.

Time flows so slowly.

After Lao Qin was on duty at midnight, his third uncle came over to replace him.

When the third uncle woke up, he saw that the ant was sleeping deeply, so he got up quietly without waking him up.

The night passed.

It wasn't a peaceful night, but nothing major happened.

When the sun rose during the day, all the zombies outside the big iron gate left and returned to some dark and damp corners.

But the zombies pressed by the gate were still alive, and the third uncle and others did not lift the big iron gate again.

Instead, just crush it from above and leave here.

They had installed the steel materials on the car yesterday, and it would be nice to just leave when the sun comes out today.

As heavy trucks weighing dozens of tons rolled over the iron gate, the zombies who were not dead under the iron gate were now crushed into pulp, and they were no longer dead.

The weather is good today, there are fish scales in the sky, and the weather should be good in the next two days.

Lao Qin drove the equipment-installed RV at the front of the convoy, followed by Zhu Xiao and others, as well as several RVs and trucks seized from the industrial park, all of which were taken away.

Unfortunately, not much gasoline or diesel was found over there in the industrial park, so we could only get some out of their tanks.

The third uncle was sitting in the car, looking at the rearview mirror, but thinking about one thing in his mind.

energy.

Every time you lay down, you need to use a lot of diesel. Generally, the shelf life of unopened diesel is only 4 years, and the shelf life after opening is even shorter.

Once the diesel fuel is used up or the shelf life is expired, it will be very troublesome for them to get outside.

Although there are some new energy electric vehicles now, most of these new energy vehicles are SUVs or cars and cannot transport goods.

"Perhaps Xiaoyu has a plan for a long time." The third uncle squinted and remembered that Li Yu had asked many collaborators and non-staff to include some electric vehicle accessories and other things in the exchange list, especially They moved a lot of batteries and equipment from Gan Lithium Industry, the leader in lithium batteries before the end of the world.

But as of now, there are no talents in tram-related industries in the base.

You know, the structure of electric cars is much simpler than that of fuel cars.

The most important thing about a tram is the battery, and everything else is relatively simple.

Before the end of the world, the development of electric vehicles will be restricted by the development of batteries.

In the base of the big camphor tree.

Li Yu was in the second outer city, in a residential building, looking at the zombies that were still walking around.

It’s funny to say that before the apocalypse, humans have been looking for energy that will never be exhausted, but after the apocalypse, Zhou Ran’s idea came true.

Li Yu was very excited. With a steady stream of electricity, the Da Zhangshu Base would be invincible.

As far as he knew, in the last days before his rebirth, no one had thought of using zombies to generate electricity.

In fact, various forces do not have this ability. Under several natural and man-made disasters, large bases collapsed, and small forces struggled on the edge of death. They thought about being full every day, so how could they have any free time to think about other messy things? thing.

I can't even eat enough to eat, so I can't talk about the future.

In the last days before rebirth, mankind has almost entered the cold weapon age five years later.

Dazhang base is many steps ahead of other forces.

One step faster, the latter will always surpass.

This is a piece of virgin land that no one has ever set foot in, and perhaps the future is here.

Li Yu was a little excited when he thought about it, but he was also a little bit miserable.

Talent! Talent!

So far, there is still a shortage of talents in this area.

Although there is Li Hang, a half-baked guy, and He Bing, a modification expert, they are not enough.

There are also people like Lao Zhou who came out of the lathe factory. Although they know something, they are not experts in batteries.

He wants a battery expert, or even a team.

Once the battery problem is solved, the storage problem is solved, and it can be extended to other directions based on this later.

The future is unimaginable.

Li Yu turned his head and said to He Chao next to him, "Did you find the power system expert you were asked to find among the cooperative staff and non-staff personnel last time?"

He Chao smiled bitterly and said: "I asked around, and Zuo Ruxue said that before she joined the Zhangshu Base, she knew an expert in this field, but he was later bitten to death by a zombie."

"That's not one?" Li Yu frowned and asked.

He couldn't believe that among the thousands of people, none of them could be found.

He Chao hesitated for a moment and said, "There is an electric vehicle company, and an engineer who has participated in the research of the three-electric system."

Hearing this, Li Yu became interested and asked, "Where are you now?"

He Chao said: "He is still on the construction site, working there, I can call him over at any time."

Li Yu thought for a while, walked out of the zombie generator room, closed the door, and said, "Don't call him for now. Can you introduce this person's background? Which team does he belong to?"

He Chao followed Li Yu and said, "This man's name is Zhang San."

Hearing this name, Li Yu turned his head and glanced at He Chao.

He Chao said with some embarrassment: "I checked, it should be his real name, this name is a bit random."

"Continue." Li Yu said calmly.

He Chao continued: "He is in the cooperative team, Sha Wenji's team. He is 39 years old. He now has a 13-year-old daughter and has no other relatives. According to Sha Wenji, his father died six months ago. He was bitten to death by a zombie."

"In addition, I heard from their captain that this Shavinji is quite nice and has a good relationship with other people in the team, so everyone takes good care of their father and daughter."

Li Yu listened carefully, and brought He Chao to the fence.

He Chao pointed to a sun-tanned man on the construction site, and said to Li Yu, "That's him."

Li Yu looked and saw that the man's muscles were all over his body, and he didn't have the feeling of weak intellectuals.

This is the case in the apocalypse, no matter how powerful you are before the apocalypse, if you don't have enough strength after the apocalypse, if you don't know how to adapt, it will be difficult to survive in the apocalypse.

This man was carrying a heavy formwork and pulled it under the foundation of the wall. Not far from him was a little girl who was tying steel bars there.

He Chao pointed to the little girl and said, "That is his daughter, Zhang Yuan."

Li Yu looked at Zhang San, carried the formwork, and walked slowly from the excavated steps to the foundation.

He opened his mouth and said to He Chao: "Now, go down and do your work first."

He Chao nodded, and then walked down.

Li Yu watched Zhang San disappear in the foundation, thoughtfully.

After He Chao went down, Li Yu came to the duty room to find his second uncle.

Just found out that uncle is also here.

So he said to the two of them: "Second uncle, uncle, I think the time is ripe now. He Chao just told me that he has found an engineer for the three power systems. I think we can start to gradually establish the Electric Power Research Institute."

After the second uncle heard what Li Yu said, he raised his head and said to Li Yu, "Is it a non-staff member or a cooperative member?"

"The cooperator is outside now. Although his ability is not estimated to be enough, I think it can be established first."

The second uncle pondered for a while, nodded and said: "Well, the emergence of zombie generators is of great importance. There is currently a surplus of electricity production, which is too wasteful. If we can research something based on this unlimited electricity, Great for the base."

The uncle also said: "Since there is such a person, should we use the method of attracting special talents? It is better to be more prudent and let him accumulate his contribution. After the contribution reaches a certain level, he can be recruited."

"This is a problem. After all, he is just a collaborator. He has not been in contact with our Zhangshu base for a long time, right? Which team is he in?" asked the second uncle.

He often dealt with non-staff personnel, cooperative personnel, and he remembered the leaders of each team.

Li Yu said: "In Sha Wenji's team, I have a little impression of Sha Wenji's group. They should have cooperated with us for half a year."

The second uncle squinted his eyes and recalled, then he took out a book, searched it, nodded and said: "I have an impression of Sha Wenji. Their team has more than fifty points, and they are not far away from becoming a non-staff member." , Sha Wenji, although he looks fierce and has a bald head, he is quite righteous. Every time I exchange food for him, he shares it equally."

Li Yu hesitated for a moment and said to his second uncle and his two uncles: "I want to recruit him specially. What do you think?"

The second uncle saw the hesitant expression on Li Yu's face and said: "Anyway, it will take time to build the third outer city. Why not inspect him and let him be responsible for the power aspect of building the third outer city to see if he has two skills?" A brush."

The uncle also said: "I agree with your second uncle's idea. Although there is a shortage of talents, we can't lose the rhythm. After all, we don't know him well enough and rashly absorb him. Where should he stay? Moreover, if he is He performed well when building the Third Outer City, so it seems very reasonable for us to include him!”

When Li Yu heard both of them saying this, he gave up the idea of ​​asking him to come up immediately.

The second uncle and the eldest uncle are right. We still need to see if this person has real abilities. Otherwise, if we drag him in and find out that he is just a false person, what will we do then and drive him out? killed?

Not quite right.

So Li Yu said to the two of them: "Okay, let's observe him again. In addition, I will talk to Ding Jiu and let him make arrangements."

Both the second uncle and the uncle said that there was no problem.

After communicating all this with the two people, Li Yu left from the duty room.

He felt a little emotional. Sure enough, it would be beneficial to discuss it with his second uncle and the others.

I am only one person and cannot consider all aspects. At this time, I need someone to communicate and discuss with me.

So he took out the walkie-talkie and explained the matter to Ding Jiu and He Chao.

He stood on the wall and watched as He Chao and Ding Jiu found Zhang San and told him about the Third Outer City and asked him to be in charge of the power part.

Li Yu was on the fence and could clearly see that Zhang San was still a little dazed when he heard the news, but a look of joy soon appeared on his face.

The other team members next to Zhang San came to congratulate him one after another.

Although Ding Jiu and He Chao didn't mention the reward, Zhang San and the others knew that the Da Zhangshu Base had always acted fairly, and if he was asked to be responsible for the power affairs of the Third Outer City, he would definitely not be treated badly.

Li Yu sat at the door of the duty room on the west wall, drinking water, while observing Zhang San carefully.

After receiving this task, Zhang San slowed down for a few minutes.

I immediately found Ding Jiu, talked to him for a few minutes, and then left, watching the transport vehicle for a long time.

"Mr. Li, Mr. Zhang wants rollers, steel wires, electric motors, power batteries, and electronic control systems. Then he wants six yuan for batteries." Ding Jiu's voice came.

Li Yu was a little confused as to what this guy was going to do.

So he said, "Okay, I'll send someone over later. Also, if he needs any help, you can help him."

Three hours later.

Li Yu looked at him in surprise, and made a cage welded with steel plates into an elevator commonly used in construction sites.

You must know that the foundation of the wall of the third outer city is more than ten meters high.

Now they still use pulley lifts, the stability is not high, and they need manpower.

But Zhang San did this, which greatly saved manpower.

A smile appeared on the corner of Li Yu's mouth, "Yes, he is a talent."
