Chapter 228 Inspecting the Base

On the drawing in front of me, there is a ring-shaped building drawn. It looks like a building, but it is self-contained. Only the top floor of the entire exterior wall has a row of windows. Below the windows is a bare wall, which makes it look more... Like a small castle.

This is Lu Jiayi's slightly modified version of the traditional building enclosure of the Hakka people in the Yan Kingdom. This building has almost all advantages in the apocalypse. The structure of the enclosure itself is designed to prevent invasion. It has tall and thick outer walls and rich internal functions. , these are things that ordinary buildings cannot provide.

Deckman looked at these design drawings with bright eyes. Although the drawings on them were not very professional, it did not affect his understanding of them as a top student in architecture.

"This design is really clever. It can not only house people, but also play a defensive role."

Lu Jiayi pointed to some details on the picture and explained.

"Not only that, the top level is a fortification, and the bottom is full of residences. In the middle yard, you can raise some livestock and dig a well. In this way, it basically becomes a small castle. As long as you store some food, you can build a small castle inside. It’s a long life.”

Deckerman nodded frequently as he listened, looking at the drawing in his hand with bright eyes. He could no longer hear what the other person said next. He was completely immersed in the drawing, and his mind was constantly constructing the size and height of the building. .

"Deckermann? Deckermann?"

Bang bang!

Seeing that this construction madman was so serious, Lu Jiayi felt dumbfounded and clapped her hands in his ear, which woke him up.

"Huh? Oh, I'm sorry, I tend to be like this when I'm involved."

"Haha, nothing."

Lu Jiayi waved his hand to indicate that he didn't care, and then pointed at the wall.

"There is another question I need to tell you. Due to the number of containers, our wall can only be built like this for the time being. However, it will definitely need to expand outward in the future. There will continue to be containers shipped in the future, so these buildings still need to be considered. When it comes to the expansion of the outer wall in the future, don’t wait until the outer wall is expanded and it will lose its effect. By the way, you don’t have to worry about this. After all, you need to build the livestock shed and the accommodation area in the inner and outer courtyards first.”

Dekman frowned upon hearing this. This problem was indeed troublesome.

Seeing the other person lost in thought, Lu Jiayi patted his shoulder and said with satisfaction.

"Then I'll leave this matter to you."

"Um?"

Before the highly concentrated Dekman could react, Lu Jiayi hurriedly left the scene and walked quickly towards the city.

When Dirkman looked up again, he could still be seen. He scratched his head and could only find a place to sit down and continue thinking.

And Lu Jiayi, who successfully got rid of the problem, didn't take any time off. As soon as he walked into the city gate, he saw Hershel and Otis walking between the barns.

"Hershel."

The gray-haired old man seemed to have found his life goal at this time, and he was looking at the animals in the shed energetically.

While watching, Otis next to him was giving instructions. When he heard someone calling, he turned around and smiled.

"land."

Otis also smiled and greeted him.

Gu: "How's it going? Are all our babies healthy?"

Lu Jiayi smiled broadly as he looked at the piglets surrounding the sow in the pig pen.

Hershel nodded equally happily and pointed to the pig pen in front of him.

"Another batch of piglets was born. This time it was really good. There were nearly 30 sows and nearly 300 piglets were born. Fortunately, I trained a group of people and they are now on duty. Otherwise, I would probably It’s going to be very busy, and very few of these piglets will die, and there will be a lot of meat again in half a year.”

Nodding with satisfaction, he looked at the other pens. There were a full range of livestock in the base, and unlike other settlements that lacked medical care and medicine, there were abundant supplies here, and Hershel, a veterinarian, could be said to occupy a large area. The right time, right place and right people.

However, Herschel also said that the current mixed-breeding method has great hidden dangers. If any disease occurs, it is easy to be cross-infected, so the construction of external walls becomes even more important. By then, these barns can be dispersed everywhere , allowing dedicated personnel to manage it will greatly improve security.

"Okay, if you have any problems, just tell me and I will definitely solve them as soon as possible. You are one of the main food sources for the base. You must ensure the survival rate of these animals."

"Don't worry, Lu. There are now more than thirty people taking care of the stable area alone. We strive to be perfect in every aspect."

"Well, the city wall will be built soon, and the next step is to move the stable area. Then I will ask people from the base to come and help."

"That's great."

After saying goodbye to the two of them, Lu Jiayi did not stay any longer, but ran towards the inner courtyard.

The city wall will be completed soon, and things will get busy soon. What needs to be solved immediately after the city wall is completed are the inner and outer courtyard accommodation areas, the livestock shed area, and the reclamation of wasteland.

There was one more thing he needed to investigate, and that was energy.

Although there is still a long time before the fuel expires, the lack of power is still a problem that needs to be solved.

Currently he has two ideas. The first is to build a large photovoltaic power generation system. The second is to find a pre-apocalyptic power company and see if there are any other ways to obtain continuous and stable power. After all, just using a generator is not an option.

As luck would have it, there is a branch of a large American power company only a few dozen kilometers northeast of the prison, and there are also a large number of factories of this company northwest of downtown Atlanta.

This company is Southern Electric Power Company, an electric power company founded in 1945. The company moved its headquarters to Atlanta in 1950 and has more than a dozen branches.

Southern Power Company not only has a large number of branches around Atlanta, but also has a nuclear power plant in Dothan, a small city in Houston County in the southeastern corner of Alabama, more than 100 kilometers south of Atlanta.

Lu Jiayi planned to investigate both places, hoping to collect a group of useful power professionals, and then he could better establish his own energy team.

Even if it doesn't go well, you can settle for the next best thing, collect a large number of photovoltaic power generation panels, and then open an area around the base specifically for power generation. This way, at least for a long time, you don't have to worry about the base's power supply.

Only when the electricity problem is solved can many of the next things be implemented, such as pharmaceuticals, weapons manufacturing, etc., which are planned to be slowly restored in the future, and even some small aspects, such as domestic electricity, water supply from water towers, etc.

On the way to the inner courtyard dormitory, Lu Jiayi had been thinking about the follow-up actions. When he walked to the inner courtyard office, a general idea had already appeared in his mind.

With a creak, he pushed open the office door and saw a man sitting at his desk. It seemed that he had been waiting here for a while.

"Rick!? Why are you here?"
