After Zhou Weiguo left, Li Yu said to Ding Jiu: "Ding Jiu, I still need to count on you for this matter. The farm over there is very important; we need to resolve this quickly."
Ding Jiu, with a serious expression, replied: "Understood, I'll move out the previous sunshine panels and steel fraworks right away."
"Do you need any manpower support?"
Ding Jiu thought for a mont and said: "Xie Weishan and the others will co to help . Hmm... if we could have more people, that would obviously be better; it could speed things up."
Li Yu nodded and then took out his walkie-talkie to give instructions to Old Lv.
Upon receiving Li Yu's ssage, Old Lv imdiately led the people toward the farm.
Even though it was snowing heavily outside, there was not a word of complaint or hesitation from them.
This was a direct order from Li Yu. No one in the base dared to show any slack.
This was the Big Camphor Tree Base and Li Yu's authority!
Inner City.
The trees on the mountain side had all been covered by the snow.
The Mountain Pond between the two mountains had also frozen, and the snow on its frozen surface was very thick.
The howling wind and snow.
Like needles piercing, striking a person's face.
Everyone going outdoors had to wear hats, masks, and gloves, and they had to put on the accumulated ski clothes.
In such cold weather, frostbite often went unnoticed; it started out numb, and once indoors, the frostbite was already severe.
So everyone was extrely cautious when going outside.
Li Yu stayed at the duty station for another half hour before walking around the wall.
In the wind and snow, the woodland outside the wall was also covered with snow. Looking out far away, the world was a vast white, with no other colors.
The wind howled, blowing against Li Yu.
He inspected the other four duty stations, giving instructions to Li Haoran, Lai Dongsheng, and others inside.
After accomplishing all this, the ti ca to around three in the afternoon.
The sky grew even more overcast.
Li Yu then returned to the Inner City.
He still needed to check the farm situation.
His feet sank into the snow, which engulfed his ankles.
Every step was quite laborious.
Ten minutes later, he arrived at the farm area.
The farm was quite large, bigger than a single greenhouse.
When he arrived, he saw dozens of people braving the wind and snow, erecting steel fraworks, with so even climbing onto the farm roof to connect various things.
It was very inconvenient to move in such heavy snowstorm.
Fortunately, the wind now wasn't as strong as in the morning, otherwise, a person could easily be blown over.
In such harsh conditions, Old Lv and Ding Jiu couldn't even hear each other's shouts through the snow, resorting to using earpieces for communication.
As Li Yu approached, he saw the steel frawork had already been secured with a crane at the farm gate.
There was also a massive drilling machine driving steel pipes into the ground; these were to stabilize the frawork.
"Director Li, you're here?" Ding Jiu said, moving closer when he saw Li Yu approaching.
"Yes, I'm here to take a look. Have you encountered any problems?" Li Yu asked.
Ding Jiu pointed at the already constructed frawork and the people standing on the roof, including Old Lv, and said to Li Yu: "Things are better than I expected. This roof can support people, which ans we can build the frawork and install the sunshine panels much faster."
"That's good. I'll go inside and check around. You guys keep busy," Li Yu said, then walked into the farm gate.
As he pushed open the farm's door, a strong odor of waste hit him.
Although hygiene was sowhat maintained in the farm, such places inevitably had a bit of sll.
Li Yu saw Zhou Weiguo washing the pig dung off the floor with warm water.
He walked over and said: "Weren't you supposed to supervise the roof area? Leave this to others."
Zhou Weiguo said helplessly: "They told to take care of the stuff inside first, saying they'll handle it. There are just a few things here to manage, and then I'll head over right after."
Hearing this, Li Yu didn't say anything more.
He only cared about results. As long as they could solve these problems, the process wasn't much of his concern.
After making a circuit of the farm, noting the heating installed which kept it warm inside.
The farm had sections for different animals—chickens, ducks, cows, pigs, rabbits…
All were divided into areas.
After surveying the farm, seeing the animals in good condition, he nodded in satisfaction.
He then reached the cattle section, noticing a conspicuous barrier on the roof where Zhou Weiguo had ntioned a collapse.
Looking at the adjacent part of the roof beside the barrier, it seed on the verge of cracking again, making him understand Zhou Weiguo's concern about the roof.
Currently, it was just a crack of less than two square ters. If left unchecked, it could grow larger over ti.
Moreover, the parts not yet collapsed weren't guaranteed against future collapses.
If the accumulated snow wasn't cleared, it's only a matter of ti before they collapse.
When they initially constructed this farm, such ticulous considerations weren't made.
The curvature of the roof isn't great, so snow doesn't easily slide off to the ground.
But, as long as the greenhouse system is applied here, there shouldn't be further worries.
....
Li Yu thought, as he headed outside.
In the base, everyone had their tasks to attend to.
Li Hang and Zhou Ran were still researching ways to construct the Third Outer City, potentially employing clever combinations.
Dapao was in the duty station.
An Ya and others were tending to crops in the greenhouses; although the crops were already planted, managing the base, which included the Inner and Outer City, the Underground Plantation, and over a hundred acres, still required considerable effort.
However, the First Outer City greenhouse and underground plantation were also under the care of Old Qin and others.
The remaining Second Outer City and Inner City matters were left to An Ya and others.
In the Inner City, outsiders couldn't be brought in, so the tasks had to be handled internally.
The Second Outer City also couldn't allow others in due to the Zombie Generator.
