The next day.

Big camphor tree base.

In a food processing plant.

Second uncle Liu Jianwu stood next to the huge food dryer, looking at the dried sweet potatoes that were brought out of the dryer by sliding.

He reached out and picked up one, put it in his mouth and chewed it.

He frowned and said to the person next to him: "The temperature is not enough and the drying effect is not obvious. This will shorten the storage time. This batch will be dried again."

"Okay." Wang Cheng nodded.

There are not many people in the entire food factory, only about a dozen people.

However, mechanized assembly line operations are basically used here. Material selection, cleaning, slicing, dehydration, drying, and packaging can basically be done through mechanization, and manual labor only needs corresponding assistance.

These equipments are all obtained from food processing factories, and the machinery and equipment are very complete.

"Shangcha, please adjust the distance between the blades. The current one is still too big, and the drying effect of the large ones is not that good." Liu Jianwu said to a woman in the distance.

This woman was originally an employee of Song Min, but now she was roped in to work in a food processing factory.

Since his second uncle told him about making new year's goods yesterday, he found Li Yuan, moved a batch of sweet potatoes from the base warehouse, and then processed them.

This batch of sweet potatoes has been in the warehouse for some time.

In today's Da Zhangshu base, the production of staple food can reach three seasons.

In fact, grains such as corn have a growth cycle of 100 to 120 days, which can produce four seasons a year.

But in order to protect the soil, it is appropriately reduced.

Bang, bang, bang—

The sound of machinery in a food processing plant is constant.

In a factory next door, candy is being produced.

A steady stream of New Year's goods are produced amidst the busy noise.

....

As soon as Li Yu woke up, he looked at Xiaozhu beside him, patted her, and said with a smile: "Little lazy pig, get up."

"Hey~" She turned over and continued to sleep.

Yesterday was a tough one. Not everyone has the same physique as Li Yu.

Li Yu smiled and shook his head. Instead of continuing to quarrel with her, he got up, put on his clothes and left.

He maintained his usual habit of running around the base for morning exercises.

The weather was too cold a few days ago, so he could only stay indoors and exercise.

He doesn't like indoor exercise very much. He likes to run in the mountains and forests when the morning light is slightly dew.

Breathing the fresh natural air, blowing the slightly cold wind, and watching the sun rise, it gave him a feeling of hope.

The morning sun is very gentle and does not hurt people's faces when it shines on it.

Li Yu ran quickly in the mountains and forests.

The ice in Shantang Reservoir has long melted, and the color of the lake reflects the trees and mountains on both sides.

Twenty minutes later, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and walked slowly towards the residential area.

On the way, he saw Anya. After seeing Li Yu, Anya quickly said: "City Lord."

"Well...Anya, can this season's food production reach the target we set a few months ago?"

I happened to meet him, so Li Yu simply asked.

Hearing this, Anya quickly said: "Judging from the current growth situation, it's okay."

"Okay!" After hearing the result, Li Yu had a smile on his face.

Anya is responsible for the agriculture in the Da Zhangshu base, and there has never been any problems, which makes Li Yu very satisfied.

After a slow walk back to the villa, after breakfast, he went to the outer city wall.

He Chao had been waiting here for a long time, following Li Yu to inspect the fourth outer city.

The early morning sunshine shone on the Fourth Outer City, and Li Yu looked at the collaborators who were busy building greenhouses in the Fourth Outer City.

Turning the corner, we stepped onto the outer wall of the Fourth Outer City.

The wall, like the walls in other directions, is made of concrete and is relatively strong.

The fourth outer city gate has been installed, and three buildings on the other side are being constructed simultaneously.

The entire fourth outer city area is larger than the other three outer cities. Although it is not as large as the inner city, it is still larger than the first and second outer cities.

After walking around the fourth outer city, Li Yu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yes, now our base has completely built two layers of protection."

He Chao said to Li Yu: "City Lord, the remote control system of the mobile blade on the wall here is more complete. We can open it with the remote control."

"Oh? Really?" Li Yu raised his eyebrows and asked.

He Chao quickly walked to a duty room in front, took out a remote control, and pressed it.

The mobile knife starts to operate.

Clang, Clang, Clang——

Make a heart-wrenching sound.

Li Yu waved his hand, signaling for him to close it.

He opened his mouth and asked: "This is much more convenient. You can upgrade other places as well."

He Chao nodded and said: "Yeah, the president said the same. This was suggested by Lao Dong and Xue Zhihua. Because it was built from scratch, it is easier to bury the lines. The original upgrades will probably take some time."

"How long will it take?" Li Yu asked.

He Chao thought for a while and said: "It will take about two weeks."

Li Yu frowned after hearing this, but said nothing.

Thinking of what Qingyang said yesterday about his second senior brother, he kept trying to figure out the meaning of that sentence.

It's better to go directly to him and ask.

Thinking of this, Li Yu said to He Chao behind him: "You go and do your work first, don't worry about me, I will take care of myself."

"Okay, City Lord."

As the supervisor here in the outer city, He Chao also has a lot to do every day.

So after hearing what Li Yu said, he left here.

Li Yu slowly walked toward the first outer city, at a slow pace.

Just when he was about to go down the fence to the first outer city, he met his second uncle.

The second uncle saw Li Yu and quickly stopped him.

"Xiaoyu."

"Second uncle, what's wrong?" Li Yu looked at his second uncle curiously.

After the second uncle came over, he said:

"There are some things I want to tell you. Didn't we agree before that Ju Tianrui and his group would be promoted to inner-city personnel? We also agreed on the personnel list before."

"Ju Tianrui and Lao Yi probably won't be able to come back for a while, but the ants and the jackals are here. Why don't we take advantage of this moment to promote them?"

Hearing that this was the case, Li Yu said without hesitation: "Okay, second uncle, please prepare. How about we start in the afternoon?"

This thing itself does not require much preparation.

The key is that promotion can boost the morale of the people at Da Zhangshu Base and encourage them to continue to make greater contributions.

Therefore, every time someone was promoted before, it would be announced in person in front of everyone, and a unique Big Camphor Tree Base badge would be awarded.

As an inner city worker, everyone has a badge like this.

After all, there are more and more people in the base, and not everyone knows each other.

If two teams encounter each other while performing tasks outside or collecting supplies, they can use their badges to identify each other and avoid conflicts.

Under special circumstances, we can also help each other.

"Afternoon, afternoon is fine, then I'll make arrangements." The second uncle nodded.

Seeing that Li Yu was about to leave, he quickly said:

"One more thing, Xiaoyu, now there are fewer and fewer supplies that can be searched outside our base, and it is becoming more and more difficult."

"I thought, since we have so many collaborators, we might as well expand the base."

Hearing this, Li Yu frowned and asked: "Expansion? Now that the base is already quite large, how can we expand it?"

The second uncle said: "With our Da Zhangshu base as the center, build a third wall on the periphery, and make it as large as possible."

"I've seen the photo of the Northern Commonwealth you took for me, and I think that area is big enough."

Li Yu sighed and said: "The Northern Federation was built before the end of the world. It is not easy for us to build such a scale at this time, and it is estimated to take a long time."
