Rescue System: Fleeing Host, calm down

Chapter 309 Underground City Construction 19

The underground excavation project is in full swing. With the military shovel, the result will be twice the result with half the effort, and the team members are very motivated.

The foundation in this area is made of tuff, because near the volcano group, it is basically a flint rock structure layer, which is very easy to hollow out, and it is easier to go to the back.

The most important thing in the underground project is the ventilation pipes and drainage system. Due to the special underground structure here, there is less water coming out of the wet rock formations. As long as the drainage channels are connected and put into a filter tank, and there are no chemical toxic substances after testing, it can

Use filter.

Now their drinking water mainly comes from snow melting ponds, which are filtered and boiled before drinking. So far, there have been no problems.

As for the ventilation system with the assistance of modern products, this is not difficult at all.

A long cylindrical ventilation hole can be set up at the turning point of each passage. Considering the cost issue, the lower part can be connected with a large water pipe, and the upper part can be replaced by a hollow bamboo tube or other natural materials. As long as the hole is kept fresh

Just let the air in and out.

There was an old man in Lin Yiqiu's team who had participated in the construction of the mausoleum. He described that the tombs underneath were mostly built with mortise and tenon structures, and the gaps were sealed with charcoal and plaster. However, this did not apply to her underground city, where the dead lived.

Can the place be the same as that of a living person?

To accommodate so many people, it must be built with masonry and strong enough support columns.

Some public places require a relatively spacious site. In order to avoid landslides, during the excavation process, pillars with a diameter of one meter can be left at regular intervals.

The buildings in the underground city are currently based on temporary shelters. They are planned according to their use as bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms, and storage rooms. They also need public facilities such as meeting rooms, schools, canteens, supermarkets, and training grounds for necessary activities.

space.

In addition, several emergency escape passages need to be set up by digging wells from top to bottom, and equipped with long stairs to prevent emergencies and enable smooth escape from the mountain.

The entrance to the underground city gate is built with the architectural structure of a castle. It is three stories high. The city wall must be thick and solid to integrate offense and defense. There are sentry towers and trebuchets on both sides. Of course, with the ability to make earth bombs, they can be thrown easily.

It is not a stone but a bomb. There are dense holes in the city wall for launching arrows. A wall is built along the entire mountain with barbs on the top. Safety must be guaranteed.

Dig trenches and set traps outside the wall. This place is surrounded by mountains. There is no real foot of the mountain. The foot of the mountain is the top of another mountain.

Let’s call it Waishan. Waishan can be used for farming, converting hillsides into terraces, building ditches, and building waterwheels.

The most important thing is to finish it as soon as possible before the cold wave. After the cold wave, whether it is the expansion of the underground city or the reconstruction of the outer mountain, it must be implemented step by step.

There were so many places to be built that Cheng Xiaoxiao wished he could split one person into two to use them.

It seems that there are indeed too few manpower.

Amidst the flying snow, the underground drilling project has been completed, the bricks have been fired and shaped, and the workshop has been expanded several times, ready for mass production and put into use at any time.

During this period, no one from Yuanyang City came to cause trouble.

According to the news from brothers lurking in the city, the number of deaths in the city began to increase, and most of them were elderly people and young children.

When they started building the underground city, the temperature in the mountains was around zero. In just half a month, it had dropped to ten degrees below zero.

Now the nighttime temperature in Yuanyang City has exceeded minus 20 degrees. No one dares to go out at night. If you are not careful, you will freeze to death outside.

Various aristocratic families had plenty of food, but they did not prepare much carbon. The workshops that burned carbon had already stopped working because they had no raw materials.

Some small families, merchants, and wealthy gentry handed over most of their property and joined several major families.

Now that carbon resources are in short supply, the kang cannot be burned, and food is not abundant, he was abandoned by a noble family and became a bereaved dog with nowhere to go.

As the temperature continued to drop, people who were not willing to wait for death started making noises every day, and bloodshed occurred frequently.

No wonder she didn't bother them again. Now that she was running out of people, she wanted to take the opportunity to catch some people up the mountain.

Cheng Xiaoxiao called Cheng Hao and told him the actual situation in the city.

"It's not impossible for the captain to really increase his manpower."

"What do you call captain? There are no outsiders now." The second brother pretended to be serious.

Cheng Hao raised his eyebrows, "Okay! Let's call you Da Ya."

As soon as he said this, he received a pen thrown by his sister. After catching it steadily, he praised it seriously, because there was exactly one pen missing.

Cheng Xiaoxiao was speechless, "Second brother, can't you talk properly?"

"Second brother, didn't you see that you are very tired recently? Could you please relieve your tense nerves?"

Cheng Hao used what Cheng Xiaoxiao said to block her, which really shot himself in the foot.

"I will pay attention to rest."

He changed the subject, "Now we are in urgent need of manpower. I wish I could recruit more people. But those people were also wealthy owners before. They have never suffered much and may not be able to work diligently and conscientiously. Maybe they can be paid back."

If I poke some trouble, it’s not worth the loss.”

Cheng Xiaoxiao expressed his concerns and hoped that Cheng Hao would have some solution to both problems.

After all, she doesn't understand the middle class of this world.

However, judging from her past experience, most of them make jokes and do not do their job properly, which is troublesome.

"One moment, another moment. Now they are desperate. It's good if they can save their lives. They don't dare to cause trouble." Cheng Hao analyzed.

"But nature is easy to change, and when they stabilize, all kinds of tricks will come out. Just like if you give a beggar a steamed bun one day, he will definitely be grateful to you. If you give him a steamed bun every day, after a long time,

, he will take it for granted, and the day you stop giving him buns, he will definitely scold you for having no conscience."

Cheng Hao smiled knowingly, "I didn't expect Xiao Xiao to think so much."

Cheng Xiaoxiao secretly cursed, right? Regardless of past and present life, such people are not uncommon.

"I just want to discuss with my second brother whether there is a permanent way to be obedient and good at work without causing trouble. The most important thing is not to let them leak the secrets here."

"Xiao Xiao, this is a bit demanding!"

"That is, if you can't meet these requirements, you'd rather have less than excess."

"It's not impossible." Cheng Hao looked at his troubled sister with a smile in his eyes.

"Second brother, please tell me."

Cheng Hao paused before speaking, "Sell yourself into slavery."

Cheng Xiaoxiao suddenly realized that she didn't think about it. As a person with a modern soul, how could she think of actively buying and selling slaves?

"But those people are also used to being served by maids and servants. They look down upon people from lowly backgrounds the most. The class concept is engraved in their bones. Now they have to be sold into slavery. Will they be willing?"

She earns her living here based on her ability and doesn't have much sense of class. It's great for ordinary people, but it's a shame for those aristocrats who have a lot of slaves and stand above them.

I don’t know whether life is more important or anger is more important.
