Chapter 1696 Damn it! How much has changed after being away for just two months?(1/3)

The next day.

Oil City.

The third uncle climbed up the wall of the trading market and overlooked the buffer city construction site not far away.

Behind him were Xie Changshan, Liu Yu and others.

Jie Changshan pointed to the buffer city wall in the distance and said:

"Minister, now the foundations of the buffer city wall have been constructed.

Moreover, the eastern and southern sections of the fence have been built to a height of 6 meters. Next, we will continue to increase the height of the eastern section and the southern section of the fence, and we will also build the western and northern sections of the wall."

The third uncle looked at the wall rising from the ground in the distance, like a giant dragon.

"Enclose the western section and the northern section as soon as possible. After enclosing, we can start building greenhouses."

"Are you recruiting more people?" Xie Changshan asked.

The third uncle nodded and asked:

"Well, let's recruit people again. When will we be able to connect the walls?"

"One week, one week can complete the encirclement, but it can only reach a height of six meters." Jie Changshan replied after thinking for a while.

"A week?" The third uncle was a little surprised, it was much faster than he expected.

The third uncle smiled and said: "Very good."

Xie Changshan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his third uncle's smile.

He has barely had a good night's sleep in the past few months,

One engineering task after another without stopping.

Moreover, these tasks are all urgent, and each one is faster than the last.

During this period, he lost 20 pounds, his eyes were sunken, there were dark circles, and his face was full of exhaustion.

In the trading market, construction workers are recruited almost every day.

The total number of construction workers on the construction site now exceeds 60,000.

There are also many construction material transport teams, non-stop searching for building materials and transporting them back to the construction site.

Now the buffer city construction site is overcrowded. In order to protect the construction site, the third uncle sent two more brigades from the Civil Armed Forces Division there.

It takes a long time for workers to enter and leave the trading market every day.

With so many workers working on the construction site together, the effect is remarkable, and the buffer city walls are changing almost every day.

At the same time, the daily distribution of food and points in Oil City is also a huge number.

Now, after several weeks of continuous transportation by the transportation brigade, they are transporting food from the northern border and the headquarters base to Oil City.

The grain reserves in the oil city have reached 17,000 tons.

Next, the last three thousand tons of grain from the north will be transported to Oil City, and the grain transportation task is over.

By that time, the grain reserves in the oil city can reach 20,000 tons.

Oil City plus the trading bazaar includes 12,345 level members, now nearly 200,000 people.

On average, each person consumes 1 kilogram of grain a day, and 200,000 people can consume 100 tons of grain a day.

100 days is 10,000 tons of grain, and 20,000 tons of grain is enough to support the oil city and trading market for nearly 200 days.

In order to support the development of Oil City, the northern border and the headquarters base can be said to have squeezed out all the food produced in the past year.

Only 1,000 tons of grain were left in the northern border, and 4,000 tons of grain were left in the headquarters base. All the remaining grain was transported to Oil City.

However, the population of the Da Zhangshu headquarters base is relatively small. Even if there are only 4,000 tons, and even if the greenhouses can no longer produce food, they can still support it for more than a year and a half.

What's more, whether it is the headquarters base or the northern border, because of its greenhouses, it can ignore most natural disasters and can continuously produce food.

The planting area in the buffer city of the Dazhangshu headquarters base reaches more than 10,000 acres, occupying more than half of the buffer city, and the grain output is amazing.

On the construction site of the buffer city wall.

Eastern section.

Two figures wearing gray and black torn cotton clothes squatted on the ground to tie steel bars. Even though they were dirty, they still couldn't hide their slim figures.

Bada——

A drop of sweat flowed from Dai Xinyan's forehead and fell on the steel bar.

Although the temperature is only 7 or 8 degrees Celsius, they continue to work and tie steel bars, walk back and forth, and stand up and squat down continuously, which consumes a lot of energy.

The two of them were a beautiful sight on the construction site. There were relatively few female workers on the construction site, and even fewer young girls under the age of twenty like them.

A whistle sounded, and a middle-aged man pushing a cart to transport cement passed behind them.

"Two big golden flowers, tsk tsk, those little butts are really round, if you ask me, why don't you go to Tingfeng Tower instead of having to do such hard work..."

A man following him smiled and said:

"Old Zhao, if you say that again, I will get angry and hit you on the chest."

"Hahahaha." Several people around burst into laughter.

The supervisor in charge of this area came over and

"What are you two talking about? Hurry up and transport the cement! Points will be deducted if you find you are lazy again!"

Hearing that their points would be deducted, Lao Zhao quickly explained:

"Supervision, we are not lazy, we have been working hard."

The supervisor frowned and said angrily:

"When I say you are lazy, you are just lazy. Do you still want to refute? Do you want to do it?"

"No, no, no..." Lao Zhao hesitated and left in a hurry.

I thought to myself: It seems that these two girls are protected.

In the trading market, there is a mixture of good and bad, and there are all kinds of people.

Many of them are bullies, but they don't dare to do anything openly. Once a fight breaks out, everyone will end badly.

But if you are addicted to it verbally, people often do it.

Therefore, in the residential area of ​​the trading market, you can often see people quarreling and swearing, and all kinds of unpleasant words to greet your parents are endless, which has become a scenery in the trading market.

Whenever there is a scolding, a group of good-hearted people will gather around to watch.

But those who participated in the scolding only dared to spit at each other and did not dare to take action.

Once someone takes action, the nature will change. If someone reports it to the patrol team, the person who did it will die.

There have been more than one deaths due to fights at the trading market.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Every such case is clearly written on the bulletin board at the city gate.

The other side.

The supervisor saw him hurriedly pushing the cart away and turned to look at the two sisters Dai Xinyan who were squatting on the ground to tie steel bars.

Their eyes were a little complicated. The two sisters worked very diligently on the construction site and were never lazy. He didn't even have to monitor them, and they would work very hard.

A few days ago, when the two sisters were assigned to his supervision area, Zhang Wei from the 17th Division of the Civil Armed Forces asked him to take care of them.

With Zhang Wei's greeting, he naturally did not dare to embarrass the sisters. On the contrary, if someone embarrassed them, he would still need to speak out to help them.

beep——

The trumpet honked.

"During lunch time, please line up each group and receive food in turn."

As the broadcast sounded, the sound of machinery on the construction site slowly stopped.

The mixer suddenly stopped spinning and the conveyor belt stopped running.

The workers on the construction site, under the guidance of the supervisor, lined up one by one to wait for the arrival of the food truck.

From the trading market, more than a dozen pickup trucks drove out, each with tall steel drums and mountains of tortillas on them.

The working meal at the construction site is very simple, just water and tortillas.

However, there are two types of water, one is salt water soup with salt added, and the other is drinking boiled water that has been purified and disinfected through five stages.

Work on the construction site requires a lot of physical energy. If you don't take in enough salt, the workers will not have the energy to work, so they added salt water soup.

The west section of the construction site.

Wang Ou, Chen Chen and others lined up, waiting for the arrival of the dining car.

They were responsible for grouting concrete, so at the end of the day, we were covered in lumps of cement.

Cement is corrosive to a certain extent. If your skin comes into contact with cement slurry for a long time, some places will become red and swollen.

So every time after work, they have to take a shower to wash off the mud splashed on their bodies during work.
