The second uncle, the first uncle, Song Min, Bai Jie, Ma Di, He Bing, Lao Zhou, Lao Bi and others all arrived.

Only He Chao and Ding Jiu haven't arrived yet.

Li Yu didn't want to wait any longer, so he said to everyone:

"Just to say a few words, the current windy weather may cause a blizzard to fall at any time."

"So, starting tomorrow, all personnel stationed in the guard towers and satellite cities around the base will be withdrawn and returned to the headquarters base."

"In addition, the people in the mines and battlefields should also let them come back."

The uncle nodded when he heard this and said:

"Okay, then I will notify them tonight and ask them to retreat as soon as possible."

As the deputy minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs, my third uncle is not at the headquarters base, so the power to mobilize military personnel rests with my uncle.

At this moment, the door was pushed open.

He Chao and Ding Jiu stood at the door.

After Li Yu saw the two people, he asked:

"What happened to the workers hanging on tower cranes in Buffer City?"

When Ding Jiu heard this, his expression changed a little. He didn't expect that the city lord knew about this.

However, the safety incident was fortunately resolved and no lives were lost.

"City Lord, everyone has come down safely."

"Yeah." Li Yu watched them come in and closed the door.

He opened his mouth and continued to ask:

"How is the construction progress of the boiler heating system now?"

He was also worried about this. When a blizzard arrives, the temperature will no longer be around 0 degrees as it is now.

By that time, if there is no heating supply, the people in the city inside and outside the Dazhangshu Base will be fine, but those in the buffer city will suffer.

Ding Jiu just sat down and immediately stood up after hearing Li Yu's inquiry.

"Sit down and talk." Li Yu waved his hand.

Ding Jiu hesitated for a few seconds, sat down and said:

"The boiler heating project, the boiler and main equipment, main pipelines and branch valves have been installed and have been accepted and can now be put into use directly."

"Two-thirds of the pipelines in the buffer city have now been laid. The laid pipelines can be used directly. Subsequent branch pipelines have been installed and connected to the main pipelines and put into use."

Li Yu thought for a while and asked: "How long will it take to complete everything?"

"One week." Ding Jiu replied.

It didn’t take long. Li Yu nodded and continued to ask:

"What about the heating systems in Oil City and the North? How advanced are they?"

Ding Jiu had expected that the city lord would ask him this question. He had just asked about the progress in the afternoon.

So he replied:

"The heating system and boiler equipment in the north have been laid, and the heating pipes in the greenhouses have been connected. There used to be heating pipes in the residential buildings in the inner city, so now we only have to lay the heating pipes in the outer city. The progress is the same as at the headquarters base.

It’s almost the same, it will probably take about a week.”

"As for the Oil City side..."

Ding Jiu paused for two seconds and continued:

"The boiler factory building in Oil City has long been built, the equipment has been laid, and the pipelines in Oil City have been laid."

"As for the trading market... Because the trading market has a large population and a large number of residential buildings, so far the heating pipes have only been laid in Class A residential areas, Class B has just started, and the laying of pipes has not yet started in Class C."

"If everything is laid, it will take at least a month."

One month.

It's been too long, maybe there will be a heavy snowstorm tomorrow.

Moreover, Areas B and C have the largest population, accounting for more than 80% of the population of the trading market.

Li Yu frowned and asked:

"How is the progress of the buffer city over there now?"

Ding Jiu replied:

"The encirclement has been completed. The eastern and northern sections are six meters high, but the western and southern sections have only been built to a height of three meters as of this afternoon."

"The greenhouse has just begun to fight against the steel frame structure..."

Ding Jiu pursed his lips and continued:

"City Lord, the wind is so strong now that it is not suitable for outdoor high-altitude operations. I suggest suspending all construction of the buffer city and focusing manpower on the laying of pipelines in the trading market."

"With these manpower, the heating pipe laying in the trading market can be completed within a week."

Originally, according to Li Yu's plan, he planned to build the buffer city walls and greenhouses before the ice disaster.

In this way, the buffer city of the trading market can start growing food.

Even if the ice disaster lasts for several years, Oil City can still supply food on its own without the need for support from the northern border and Da Zhangshu base.

But no matter how good the plan is, it can't compare to change.

In this situation, a blizzard may be coming soon, and the use of the heating system is imminent.

We must hurry up.

In addition, the current windy weather made construction too difficult, so we had to suspend the construction of the buffer city.

"OK."

Li Yu nodded and said to Ding Jiu:

"Then suspend the construction of the buffer city and focus all efforts on the construction of the boiler heating system."

Compared with the buffer city, for now, it is more important to have the boiler heating system in place.

Generally speaking, after such adjustments, boiler heating in the three places can basically be completed within a week.

Because He Chao and his wife came in just now, they interrupted the conversation between Li Yu and his uncle.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! At this moment, the uncle saw that he had almost finished talking about the construction issues.

So he said to Li Yu:

"Xiaoyu, since the sentry towers and mines here at Da Zhangshu Base will be withdrawn to the headquarters base tomorrow, will the same be true for the ones over at Oil City?"

The reason why I ask this is because the situation at the Da Zhangshu base headquarters is different from that in Oil City.

They have been cultivating Xincheng for many years, and there are almost no forces near the headquarters of the Zhangshu base, and they are very familiar with the surrounding situation.

Oil City is the outpost, the enemy on the surface of the northwest base.

If the northwest base is looking for trouble, it must first go to Oil City.

At this time, the sentry tower is particularly important. It can detect the people in the northwest base earlier before the large troops of the northwest base approach the city.

"Everyone should evacuate. The wind has picked up. They are looking for death by coming so far at this time." Li Yu replied.

"OK."

They also discussed some details on how to prevent natural disasters in addition to the boiler heating system for the upcoming ice disaster.

There are many snowplows in the base, but these are not enough.

Because the cloud cover is too thick this time, the amount of snowfall may reach an absurd level.

If the snowfall is extremely intense, the speed at which snowplows can clear the snow cannot even match the speed of the snowfall.

In this case, the snow thickness will be too high to block the road surface, making it impassable.

So, they built underground passages to connect various major buildings.

Scattered buildings are connected to the main passage or main building by building arched passages or herringbone passages.

This is to facilitate the flow of materials.

There is also about the upgrade of the ventilation system. If the snow covers the bottom layer,

If ventilation is not done well, once the vents are blocked by snow, the ground floor will face a lack of oxygen.

Wait wait wait.

They prepared for everything that might happen, thinking about the worst possible outcome.

Regardless of whether such a bad situation would happen, if it did, they would at least be prepared so that it would not cause too serious consequences.

Every natural disaster is a tough battle!
