215 Finalizing The Plan
“F*ck, am I seeing things?
“It really is a villa district!!!
“Oh my God, this environment… I almost thought that the end of the world hadn’t come yet!
“Look, they’re growing vegetables. They’re so fresh!
“There’s even a swimming pool!”
On the bus, the group of professionals who had just arrived were shocked.
They didn’t expect such communities to have survived the apocalypse. It was really enviable.
They had to work hard for this living environment!
“Everyone, the boss has arranged two adjacent villas for you to discuss your plans.
“Inform him as soon as there’s any progress. He’ll give you feedback as soon as possible,” Wu Jianguo said to the experts from the passenger seat.
“Sir, we’ve spent a few hours coming up with a preliminary plan,
“If it’s possible, please invite your boss over,” the old professor said, as he pushed up his glasses.
“Sure.
“Zhu Ming, send a message to boss,” Wu Jianguo shouted to Zhu Ming, who was waiting outside the car.
“F*ck, you guys still have wireless communication?
“Are we not out of power and radio stations?!”
The experts were shocked again.
“Why are you guys making such a big fuss?
“Let me tell you, our camp is different from the other camps.
“I won’t go over the details. You’ll understand after a few days.”
Wu Jianguo led them out of the car.
These experts acted like primates and were continually amazed.
When they arrived at the villa, they were even more shocked.
“This… This is a computer?
“2080ti graphics card?
“Damn, this graphics card is awesome!
“Am I seeing things? Air conditioning and hot water?
“This is f*cking heaven!”
The experts were on the verge of tears.
“Alright, alright. Get ready to explain the plan to the boss. He said he’ll be here in five minutes.
“You guys should start getting comfortable.”
Wu Jianguo walked out of the villa with a smile.
In fact, when he first came here, he had been no different from these experts. They had all acted like primates.
Not long after, Wang Ran and Tang Tang arrived at one of the villas where the experts were.
“Ah, Sir, you’re here!
“Please take a seat!”
This time, the experts were obviously more enthusiastic.
After all, they had truly felt the huge difference between this base and the outside world.
“You have a plan already?
“You guys are pretty efficient!”
Wang Ran laughed.
“We’ve come up with the basic structure of one.
“Boss… We have a rudimentary presentation prepared.”
The old professor followed suit and called him “Boss.”
“Alright, let’s see it.”
Wang Ran sat on the sofa, while Tang Tang sat on the armrest of the sofa and leaned against Wang Ran.
“We’ve talked over it. If we want to complete such a wall in such a short time, we have to utilize modular production.
“Since our goal is to build a strong and practical wall in a short time, we plan to use the filling method to build it.
“On one hand, we’ll send excavators to dig the foundation.
“At the same time, we need to get a few factories up and running to focus on producing the wall’s panels.
“When the time comes, we will insert panels on both sides of the excavated foundations and fill it with cement or sand.
“The advantage is that it’ll be fast, standardized, and allows for a reasonable margin of error.
“The disadvantage is that this wall won’t hold for long. Cracks will start forming in a month or two…
“There’s no other way. In such an urgent situation, there’s no better way to balance efficiency and quality.”
The old professor laid out the advantages and disadvantages of the plan.
“One or two months? That’s enough.
“We have to stem the flow of a million zombies.
“Once we get past that crisis. We can toss the wall aside. We only need it to fulfill its purpose.
“When the time comes, we’ll rebuild, this time with quality in mind.
“Remember, there must be some anti-climbing measures on the outside of the wall to prevent ordinary zombies from climbing up.
“Of course, we can’t stop the parkour mutants. I’ll make arrangements for them,” Wang Ran said.
“We’ve already considered this in mind.
“The outer panels will be polished and greased up.
“When the time comes, they will struggle to find purchase on its surface, let alone climb up,” the old professor said with a smile.
“Alright, come up with the design as soon as possible and set a schedule for yourselves.
“The zombies won’t wait for us to build the wall,” Wang Ran said.
“Don’t worry about that. We’ll get the blueprints out, even if we have to pull several all-nighters.
“Ah, I didn’t expect there to be computers here. We were expecting to have to hand-draw.
“As for the lists, we’ve already come up with a first draft. Please take a look.”
The old professor handed a stack of papers to Wang Ran.
“200 people for excavators and cranes, 2,000 people for the factory production panels, 5,000 people for the panel assembly, 20,000 people to fill in the concrete, and 1,000 people for transportation and logistics.”
Wang Ran gave it a read. The manpower requirement was quite high.
“This is the manpower required when the work is relatively synchronized.
“If we want to speed up, we’d have to increase the number of people proportionally,” the old professor explained.
Wang Ran nodded and called Wu Jianguo over.
“Jianguo, including the bases, there are only about a thousand people here.
“Looks like it’s time to unify the entire N-City.
“Take a team and sweep through all the camps in N-City.
“It’s best if they’re willing to join. If not, subdue them with the necessary amount of force.
“Once everyone is on the same page, gather them into the two large shopping malls in the city center.
“It should house them comfortably.
“If you need food, contact Thirteen. He’s constantly running supply sweeps with the zombies.
“Try to get the unification done in a day. After that, you can start screening for candidates for the various positions according to this list.
“Excavators and crane drivers are at the top of the list. If you can’t find enough of them, get them to train more.
“In terms of equipment, we’ll do a stock keeping of what we have. If we’re lacking in any, I’ll get Jiaxin to fly some back from the neighboring city.
“N-City will have to hustle fast or be swept up by a million zombies. We cannot afford any delays.”
Wang Ran made the arrangements.
Wang Ran was mainly worried about the humans.
After all, humans formed their own opinions and were difficult to control, unlike zombies, who were effectively mindless, compliant drones.
“Alright, I’ll quickly make the arrangements!”
Wu Jianguo knew that time was of the essence, so he immediately went out to make preparations.
The experts were busy drawing and making calculations.
Wang Ran saw that everything had been set in motion, so he took Tang Tang to her house…
