Chapter 221 Establishing a Base
The construction of the new base progressed in an orderly manner.
Building a base with just over fifty people could be considered a joke elsewhere, but for Han Yi, it wasn’t a difficult task. He was inherently adept at management and strategy, and behind him lay an invisible massive warehouse.
The most critical issues at the moment were heating and food.
Heating. Han Yi had solar heating systems, but they weren’t enough. If they encountered several consecutive days of rain or snow, the heating systems would stop working. Therefore, it was necessary to stock up on coal.
As for food, with about a month left before the Ice Age, they had to build enough warm sheds in this month to ensure that, even with the onset of the Ice Age, they could continue to cultivate and supply crops. The warm sheds also involved heating issues.
In an antique imperial study, Lu Changyuan and Han Yi stood on either side of the desk, conversing.
"The heating problem is relatively easy to solve. There are ready-made coal mines in Qingyang. After Li Jian’s death, his underlings are fighting each other bloody for the top position. We can trade weapons and ammunition with one of them to get a coal supply from him," said Lu Changyuan, pointing at the map spread out on the desk.
As he spoke, he pointed on the map, "But the farm is a bit more troublesome. I’ve had people check it out: the farm has very complete facilities and is only two kilometers from our base, which isn’t far. However, there’s a river and a small forest in between, with no direct route, which is inconvenient and unsafe."
"Then let’s build an overpass directly from the base to the farm, similar to a pedestrian overpass that goes straight to the farm. Plus, this would keep us clear of Alien Species and Mutant Beasts," Han Yi replied.
Lu Changyuan’s expression showed difficulty, "There’s definitely not enough time..." Such an overpass, even prior to the apocalyptic world, would take at least several months to build—with their current lack of concrete, sand, and manpower, they certainly couldn’t finish it within a month.
