Chapter 236 Arrival in Beijing

In addition to the successful start-up of the biogas digester, the plan for hydroponic vegetable cultivation has also reached a considerable scale.

However, the road is not smooth.

At a time when supplies are extremely scarce, building a complete hydroponic system is far more difficult than one might imagine.

The precise preparation of nutrient solution, strict testing of water quality, accurate control of temperature, reasonable enhancement of light, scientific setting of planting density and appropriate selection of vegetable varieties, each link is like a series of checkpoints.

Fortunately, the final result is gratifying.

Nowadays, when you step into the hydroponic planting area, what catches your eyes are rows of neatly arranged vegetables, lush green and full of vitality.

Fruit trees, livestock and aquatic products transplanted from space have also adapted well.

Those fruit trees seemed to have accumulated endless energy in space. After being transplanted to the base, they quickly took root, sprouted branches and spread out leaves.

The potatoes, corns, and sweet potatoes planted in the base have also sprouted. As far as the eye can see, it is a sea of ​​green, covering the barren, apocalyptic land with a vibrant green coat.

At the same time, the base headquarters was officially completed, which is five stories high.

Lin Yao specially installed glass produced from the space recycling table in each room. Under the strong sunlight, it looks like a gem on the ruins.

The base shopping mall was also officially opened for business.

The first floor is filled with common supplies, and if you want to go to the second and third floors, you need to check your points and reach a certain standard before you can enter.

On the first day of the mall's opening, there was a huge crowd of people, but most of them were there to watch the fun and not many people actually made purchases.

The few container houses that were prepared previously had no interest in them, and there were very few renters, not to mention other consumption in the mall.

But this does not stop people from coming to check it out. The shelves are filled with all kinds of supplies, including shoes, clothes, socks, washbasins, toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo... These items that were common in the previous life are now like luxury goods to everyone.

In addition to daily necessities, the mall also sells rice, flour, grain and oil, so that everyone does not have to eat in the base canteen.

Many people would buy some rice, put it in a deformed metal lunch box, and use the picked up firewood to make a fire. After a while, a bowl of steaming porridge would be cooked. Compared with the canteen, this is more cost-effective.

The items on display on the second and third floors of the mall are of much higher quality than those on the first floor. Lin Yao arranged the display this way in order to stimulate everyone's desire to consume.

Only when everyone has the desire to consume will they work hard to earn points at the base.

Those wealthy businessmen who purchased tools from Lin Yao and engaged in resource recycling business discovered a lot of other materials in the process of looking for scrap steel bars, scrap cement and scrap glass.

They either sold supplies to the base or conducted personal transactions, and thus made their first pot of gold at the base.

Of course, under the strict supervision of Shen Zhaoning and others, they did not dare to exploit the recruited workers wantonly. After tasting the sweetness, they turned their attention to the wood needed by the construction team.

After the construction team completed the two buildings, they started planning for the next step. After all, containers are not a long-term solution, and they still have to build regular houses.

Building houses naturally requires wood. Laoshan has rich wood resources. The base officially issued a wood purchase announcement to encourage everyone to participate.

Seeing this, the wealthy businessmen bought logging tools and carts from Lin Yao and continued their money-making business.

For the science and technology class, in addition to the successful replication of the biogas digester project, once electricity is supplied, the next major project is to solve the communication problem at the base.

Although Lin Yao and his team were equipped with walkie-talkies, the signal coverage was limited. As the base area continued to expand, communication between various areas became crucial, especially in the border areas of the base.

Time flies, and the day for base declaration is getting closer.

With only five days left before the base declaration, Lin Yao and his companions planned to set off for Beijing.

There were six people going to Beijing this time, namely Lin Yao, Lin Xiao, Li Feifan, Shen Zhaoning, Xie Ziang and Wang Bo. The Peninsula Base had just resumed operation and someone was needed to take charge.

The helicopter slowly took off and the six people embarked on their journey to Beijing.

Looking down from a helicopter, there are very few buildings that have not collapsed.

There were huge chimneys broken in half, viaducts twisted like a pretzel, and ruins everywhere.

After several hours of flying, the helicopter finally arrived at the city of Beijing. Beijing was indeed the capital of China, with busy figures everywhere, including many soldiers in Chinese military uniforms.

Just as they were about to lower their altitude and look for the registration reception desk, a helicopter came flying in from a distance with the three big words "Guide Aircraft" written on it in red paint.

Lin Yao and his companions immediately understood and followed the helicopter in front to fly towards the declaration reception office.

After flying for about ten minutes, Lin Yao saw a large open space with large and small helicopters and various vehicles parked neatly on it.

Lin Yao knew that they had reached their destination, so he slowly landed. The helicopter guiding them also landed not far away.

As soon as Lin Yao and his crew's helicopter landed, two men in Chinese military uniforms trotted over.

Lin Yao and his companions quickly put on their clothes and got off the helicopter.

The visitor saw Lin Yao and his companions and asked, "Are you here to apply for the base?"

Lin Yao replied: "Yes, we are from Qing City."

The two men in Chinese military uniforms seemed to have heard something incredible and asked, "Are you from the Peninsula Base?"

Lin Yao nodded: "Yes, we are from the Peninsula Base."

The two of them looked up and down at Lin Yao and the others, their eyes just like seeing giant pandas in the zoo.

Lin Xiao asked, "Hello, comrade. Is there any problem?"

The two soldiers looked away a little embarrassedly and said, "Your base is quite famous in Beijing."

It turned out that after Xiao Jingyue came to Beijing to attend a meeting for the first time, the Peninsula Base spread among the people, and everyone was looking forward to seeing the true face of the person in charge of the Peninsula Base.

Two soldiers led the way, and the group chatted as they walked, and only then did they understand the whole story.

They didn't expect that they have received such high attention before they even applied. If they can't produce decent materials when applying, it will not only be a loss of face for Lin Yao and the others, but also for Xiao Jingyue.

When they parted, Lin Yao took out two pieces of chocolate from his pocket and stuffed them into the hands of the two men.

Just as the two were about to refuse, Lin Yao said, "Take it. Thank you for telling us so much. It gives us some peace of mind."

After Lin Yao and his companions walked into the registration hall, two soldiers spread out their hands. When they saw that there were two pieces of chocolate, expressions of surprise instantly appeared on their faces.

They hadn't eaten this kind of thing for a long time. One of them couldn't help but sigh: "As expected of a base nominated by the Chief of Staff himself, it's really strong."

Another one followed suit and said, "That's right. Look at the way they dress, their appearance and temperament. They are much better than the people in other bases."
