November 10th.

The water plant at Dazhangshu Base was officially completed on this day.

They opened up the Sangang Reservoir in the northwest and introduced the water in the reservoir into the buffer city.

Although the water stored in Sangang Reservoir is not as large as that of Nanwan Lake Reservoir near Petroleum City,

But it is also the largest reservoir within a radius of dozens of kilometers.

It is enough to support the industrial, agricultural and domestic water supply in the Da Zhangshu Base.

Li Yu and a group of senior leaders from the headquarters base came to inspect the completed water plant.

Liu Ming, who is in charge of the construction of the water plant, even put up a banner: Congratulations on the completion of the water plant at Da Zhangshu Base!

The water plant was built between the agricultural planting area and industrial production area of ​​the buffer city.

Because in the buffer city, these two districts consume the most water resources.

In the current Dazhangshu Base, some heavy industries with serious pollution have gradually moved from the inner and outer cities to the buffer city.

Some relatively sophisticated factories and light industries remain in the inner and outer cities.

Such as arsenal, zombie research institute, natural disaster research institute, machinery manufacturing factory, agricultural development institute, etc.

Ding Jiu and Liu Ming were waiting at the entrance of the water plant to greet them. Li Yu walked in the front, followed by his second uncle, eldest uncle, second uncle, Song Min, He Chao and others.

Seeing Li Yu, Ding Jiu and Liu Ming came forward.

"City Lord, let me show you the entire water plant..."

Li Yu nodded, "Yeah."

Ding Jiu took Li Yu into the water plant and came to the original pool first.

"The construction of this water plant is almost the same as that of Oil City. It was built using their drawings. There are a total of eight pools, divided into..."

"It can meet the domestic water needs of hundreds of thousands of people at the same time, as well as industrial and agricultural water..."

The pool has been opened a long time ago and is now filled with water.

Li Yu squatted down and took a handful of water from the original pool.

This water has been soaked by zombies, but it doesn't smell much.

The water quality looks clear to the naked eye, but if you look at it with a microscope, you will find that there are a lot of microorganisms in the water.

Li Yu stayed in the water plant for more than an hour and took a rough look at the entire water plant.

It hasn't rained yet, but the water source problem has been solved.

According to the current water storage capacity of Sangang Reservoir, even if there is no rain in the next three years, it will be enough to supply water to the Da Zhangshu Base.

After visiting the water plant, Li Yu turned to Ding Jiu and asked:

"How is the boiler room I told you about now going?"

Ding Jiu glanced at Qian Zheng behind him, who stood up and said:

"City Lord, the boiler room is currently undergoing wall construction, and it is expected to be completed in half a month. The main installation is boiler equipment installation, pipeline installation, electrical installation, ventilation and automatic control system installation, which may be quite time-consuming."

Li Yu frowned and said, "How long will it take?"

"Two months..." Qian Zheng replied.

"No, it's too slow." Li Yu shook his head.

Ding Jiu asked with some confusion: "City Lord, why are you in such a hurry? Other factories in the buffer city are also under construction now. If we want to speed up the construction of the boiler room, we can only let other factories allocate manpower."

Li Yu took the two of them to a place with few people.

He felt that he should tell the two of them the purpose of doing this and let them know the urgency of the matter.

"In the construction of the boiler room, the ultimate goal I want to achieve is to achieve heating."

"Ah?" Ding Jiu was a little confused.

Generally speaking, the application fields of boilers are very wide.

It mainly includes electric power, chemical industry, light industry, textile, papermaking, food and other industries. Among them, the electric power industry is one of the most important application areas of boilers. Boilers burn coal, oil, gas and other fuels to heat water into steam to drive steam turbines.

Generate electricity.

However, their Da Zhangshu base now has a zombie generator, so there is basically no need for other ways to obtain power.

So he thought Li Yu wanted to build boilers, mainly in industry. Boilers provide high-temperature, high-pressure steam for chemical production and are used to produce various chemicals.

In addition, if it is used in agriculture, the boiler provides high-temperature, high-pressure steam for grain drying, making the grain easier to store and transport, thus making it easier to transport the grain to the oil city.

"Heating? But we already have air conditioners and electric heaters for heating in and around the city? Why do we still need heating?" Ding Jiu asked his doubts.

The biggest role of boilers in people's livelihood is heating and hot water.

Boilers can heat water into hot water or steam and transport it through pipes to places where heating or hot water is needed.

Li Yu shook his head and asked:

"What about the buffer city? The basic temperature has not been too cold in the past six months, but if the temperature drops below zero, there are so many greenhouses in the buffer city, and if the third and fourth level personnel are included in the heating, the power of the zombie generator alone will not be enough.

.”

"Moreover, heating must be diversified, lest one of the heating methods fails and we have no alternative."

"I understand." Ding Jiu nodded heavily.

He understood what Li Yu meant.

"Is it because of the clouds in the sky?" Qian Ming asked.

Li Yu said: "It's almost the same. Anyway, build the boiler room as soon as possible, and then quickly arrange the pipelines, and connect the heating pipelines to the residences in the base, the already built factories, and the greenhouses."

"I understand." Ding Jiu nodded.

Construction is also going on in the Third Outer City, and a larger underground space is being excavated to place the zombie generator.

But since the greenhouses in Buffer City were built, the power required has increased tenfold.

That is to say, the temperature has not dropped much in the past six months. Otherwise, if there is extremely cold weather, many greenhouses in the buffer city will not be able to guarantee a good harvest this season.

The development speed of the Da Zhangshu Base is so fast that when it was originally only the inner and outer cities, the power needed could be completely covered by the zombie generator.

Once the greenhouses were built in Buffer City, there were more and more factories, and the demand for electricity soared.

The electricity they need now is almost the same as a small town before the end of the world.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Ding Jiu calculated it in his mind and said:

"City Lord, this time we excavate the underground space of the Third Outer City, it is estimated that we can place 10,000 zombie generators. It is estimated that we should be able to produce the electricity needed to meet the needs of the buffer city."

"Based on this, it doesn't matter if the boiler room is not built. We can still rely on heaters for heating."

Li Yu closed his eyes and said patiently:

"I'll say it again, what I want is stability and guarantee. It's not safe to just rely on a single way to generate electricity or a single way to heat."

"In the past, if some of the solar photovoltaic panels were damaged, the electricity generated by those photovoltaic panels could only be used as a supplement."

"Now zombie generators account for too much of the power generation. In order to maintain stable power supply in the event of an accident, a boiler room must be built!"

...

Ding Jiu said with shame: "The city lord has far-reaching thoughts, so let's do this. I will temporarily suspend the factories in the buffer city and concentrate on building the boiler room. In addition, I will also advance the underground construction in the third outer city as soon as possible."

"How long?" Li Yu asked.

Ding Jiu made an estimate and replied:

"If we add it all together in two months, we will definitely be able to build it."

"No, it's too slow. Didn't you just say half a month? Why did it become two months again?" Li Yu asked with a frown.

Qian Zheng couldn't help but interjected: "City Lord, what I just said two months ago refers to equipment installation and pipeline installation..."

Li Yu stretched out a finger and said, "One month, it will be completed within one month!"

"One month!?" Qian Zheng gasped.

It’s too late!

Ding Jiu smiled bitterly and said: "City Lord, the time you gave us is too short. We really can't do it."

Li Yu raised his head and looked at the sky, and said quietly:

"If there were a blizzard of ice and snow now, do you know how much impact it would have on our base?"

Ding Jiu fell silent.

In the past six years, every construction task assigned to him by the city lord has been one after another.

And almost every construction task is rushed!

Sometimes he thought it was impossible to complete, but he finally completed it.

The task given to him this time was the most urgent one ever.
