Chapter 36: Beehive Shelter
Chapter 36: Honeycomb Shelter
With the help of Li Jing, Zhang was elected to a place about the size of four football fields.
The surface is relatively barren. Except for weeds and thorn bushes, there are only a few crooked trees. About 300 meters off the surface, there is a relatively large fracture zone, which has been corroded by groundwater, with many strange rocks and an underground river with small flow.
After walking around in person, Zhang Shen decided to use it as his own construction site.
He has never learned anything about house design and civil engineering, and Bu Lichen and the other two don't understand it, but you should know that Mulatu Town is full of elite figures. After several hours of exploration, Zhang Shen successfully "captured" six well-known engineers in the industry and brought them here at the cost of a large number of valuables such as gold jewelry and "forced" them to give an extremely "strong and durable" design plan within three days.
In order to increase the deterrence, Zhang Shen slapped a piece of steel into powder in front of six people - Zhang shamelessly used alchemy to refine steel into particles, and then slapped it.
Under the double deterrence of carrots and sticks, the brains of the six people operated rapidly and broke through the limits of their lives. In just two and a half days, six design drawings were placed in front of the four people.
After sending the six people back according to the agreement - of course, they used small means to confuse their memories. After careful selection, the four laymen chose one of the designs similar to the hive and ant nest.
In Zhang Shen's idea, since the doomsday disaster of the world is a large-scale geological outbreak, it will certainly not last long. Therefore, the setting in this "Hive Shelter" is quite simple.
The whole shelter is roughly spherical, a strange building composed of small independent houses.
The house is large and small (the size difference is not big), but the interior layout is similar. Basically, there is nothing but a water supply facility and a platform that can barely be called a bed. As for the bathroom, there is a public toilet in each area - embarrassingly, because Zhang Shen did not make a long-term plan at the beginning, the whole shelter did not have a very "rich" water circulation system... There is no problem with drinking water, and the toilet water is "hehe"...
"Anyway, it won't be long before you put up with the smell... Compared with life, this is nothing, is it..." Zhang Shen meditated in his heart and left this matter behind.
The shelter as a whole is "independent". It does not rely on the surrounding earth and rock layers, just like a huge stone ball buried in the ground.
In the "extroduction" of the four people, even if the plate collides and the land is broken, such a closed ball with a certain buoyancy should not be seriously damaged - its outer wall is extremely strong, the hardness of diamond is 10, and the hardness of the shell of the shelter is more than eight points.
It is easy to break. In order to prevent cracks that may be caused by heavy objects, Zhang Shen has worked hard to add metal "veins" to the shell and walls of the shelter - these intertwined metal wires are like the fine meridians of the human body, which can add considerable toughness to the walls of the shelter. In fact, there is a kind of unbreakable reinforced glass made according to this principle.
Due to the limited time, the "refining" process of the whole shelter is basically just Zhang Shen doing it alone - Bu Lichen and the other three can't help much, so this refuge is not big.
According to an average of four people in each room, the whole [bee shelter] can only hold about 10,000 or 30,000 people!
Of course, if the end comes, the number of accommodation in each room will definitely increase significantly at the time of life and death...
When the building named [Beehouse Shelter] was completely completed, the time had passed to November 24.
"Ah~~~~~ finally finished ah ah ah ah..." After the completion of the last process, Zhang Shen could no longer suppress the physical and mental fatigue. His whole body was like being pulled out of a bone, lying softly on the dirty ground, with a meaningless venting howling in his mouth.
Almost one person completed such a huge project, and Zhang Shen was proud and tired.
When a person is very tired, there is a saying called "tired like a dog". Zhang Shen felt that he was more tired than a dog, and every cell in his body was so tired that he was about to collapse, as if he would be completely exhausted at any time.
The shelter was completed. The moment he lay down, he felt like the sugar sprinkled into the sugar. His whole body was about to melt away. He had no strength and couldn't get up at all.
"Well~~ Let me lie down until I die..." A strange idea turned in my head, and Zhang Shen's upper and lower eyelids gradually collided, his eyebrows stretched, and a slight purr came from his mouth.
Bu Lichen, Li Jing and Ouyang Tianqi are on the side.
They watched Zhang Shen fall down and fall asleep for less than a minute!
Ouyang Tianqi looked motionless. Bu Lichen and Li Jing looked at the thin and haggard face, which was both proud and distressed.
They participated in the whole refining process of the shelter and witnessed how this small shelter changed from pieces of earth and sand to today's strong fortress. Among them, they saw and remembered the painstaking efforts of Zhang Shen.
In the first few days, Zhang Shen has been thinking about how to draw the whole shelter wrapped into a formation. In those days, he kept painting like a demon. Except for mechanically drinking water, eating and going to the toilet, he spent the rest of his time in the basement ordinary study, conceiving a drawing.
On the day when the refining was completed, the cheekbones on Zhang Shen's face protrude, as if he had changed into a person.
Li Jing wanted to forcibly stop him, but he was dissuaded by Bu Lichen and Ouyang Tianqi and could only secretly hide in the room and cry.
During the official start of the construction, although Li Jing and the other three tried their best to help, the main part of the shelter could only watch from the side and silently cheered Zhang Shen.
If Adrian knew what Zhang Shen had done in the past ten days, he would definitely hold his hands excitedly, shout " confidant", and then hug his head and cry...
After Zhang Shen fell asleep, Li Jing carefully controlled his spiritual power to wrap him, suspended him up, and sent him to ** in Zhang Shen's room. After Bu Lichen covered him with a quilt, the two women looked at each other speechlessly and tiptoed down the curtain and left.
"It's not far from that day." In the slightly carved hall on the basis of the original cave, Li Jing suddenly said, "Lianxin Cong told me that the movement in the depths of the earth has become more and more intense recently. I'm afraid that the end of the world is coming."
The end of the world, four simple words are just lively for "bystanders", but when all this is about to happen in front of you, that mood is really not indescribable.
At the beginning, when Li Jing and others came to this world, they were all "bystanders". All they thought was to do was complete the task and return from this dangerous world. However, today, after staying in this world for so long, the word "end of the world" also has a different meaning for them.
Living well, I suddenly learned that the world would fall into a few pieces like a big watermelon in a few days, but I still had no way to escape... For the residents of this world, this more than a month is more terrible than the end of the world.
"Can you know the specific time?" Although he had already realized that when he heard the news, Bu Lichen couldn't help frowning, and his heart suddenly tightened and felt depressed.
Li Jing shook his head.
"It came so fast... In this way, there is no way to choose the occupants of the beehive shelter."
Originally, according to the plan of four people. After completing the hive shelter, he went to Murato and selected some young men and women who were "worth keeping" through various methods to secretly extradite them here. However, the plan can't keep up with the changes. In this way, we can't do it again.
Bu Lichen and Li Jing discussed for a while, but still failed to reach an agreement.
"Let's wait for the captain to wake up and discuss it together."
"Let out the news of the shelter." The sound of Ouyang Tianqi sounded.
Ouyang Tianqi originally just had no expression, but in recent days, even words have become few and his sense of existence has plummeted. If he doesn't say anything, Bu Lichen and Li Jing will ignore him.
"This...absolutely not!" Bu Lichen was stunned and expressed his firm opposition.
"You haven't seen what the United States is in chaos. Do you want Murat and even half of the Western Tibetan provinces to become like that?" Bu Lichen's words were fierce. Obviously, the American party was very stimulating for her, especially the "*" in Los Angeles.
Although what she said is a little exaggerated, the news of the hive shelter has really spread, and several surrounding settlements will definitely be in a mess.
In fact, over time, although the Qing government's domestic control was in place, a situation similar to the separation of warlords gradually appeared in China.
This "warlord" is not a warlord in the traditional sense, but those middle and lower-level officers who have no hope of boarding the ship and have some military power. Despair and anger make them start to breed some ideas, such as "final madness" and so on.
For these, as long as they are not too blatant to make people's grievances boil and affect the social order, the senior officers and generals with boat tickets above will also close their eyes as if they have not seen them.
According to Bu Lichen's understanding these days, the "control" of the town of "Muratu" has actually been "parted" by three people or three forces.
One is Murat's township government - not the original group of people, but the newly formed government personnel after Murat's "expansion", with certain armed forces, such as police stations, armed police and urban management.
Second, the central court and military of the Qing Dynasty sent troops here to maintain order.
Third, an organization spontaneously formed by some prestigious people in the foreign population who moved to Mulatu in order to protect their own interests.
As for the large number of other mafia organizations and small interest groups, it is not worth mentioning because they do not control formal force.
