Volume 6: The Twelve Wallfacers Chapter 26: Home No. 1 is snatching someone away!!!
Diamonds are divided into artificial diamonds and natural diamonds.
The most common diamonds Shen Jin owned before were artificial diamonds, which are artificially synthesized broken diamonds, also known as industrial diamonds.
He also dug natural diamonds in the diamond mining shop, but the quantity was too small, which was really not enough compared to his huge demand.
So for Shen Jin, the most suitable way now is to find a large number of artificial synthetic diamonds. Anyway, the system is not picky, and he does not need to make gem-grade diamonds. As long as it is composed of diamonds, it will be fine. Fortunately, Professor Kong Long knows a lot. After consulting with him, Shen Jin learned that some other places may also have more artificial synthetic diamonds. In addition to the place of origin, there are many companies that need to use a large number of artificial diamonds, such as large factories that produce various diamond tools. The reserves there must be very rich.
Shen Jin called Sun Li and assigned him a task: to explore the 13 locations given by Professor Kong Long, find the [diamonds] and bring them back.
With the [electric jet packs], they can travel very quickly within China.
Moreover, there is a [teleporter] in Sun Li's backpack. If an emergency occurs, he can quickly deploy the [teleporter] to return to Home Base No. 1 for help.
This task is most suitable for the superhero team led by Sun Li. While searching, they can also broaden their horizons and increase their practical experience.
"When searching for [diamonds] this time, first of all, you must ensure your own safety. Remember not to venture into dangerous areas lightly. You can go slowly to get resources, but you must not leave any people behind. Do you understand!?"
"Understood, Brother Jin. I will definitely protect the safety of these team members!"
"And your own safety. Come, take this set of equipment. From now on, this will be your exclusive armor..."
Shen Jin took out a set of silver-white quantum armor and stuffed it into Sun Li's hand.
Sun Li was a little surprised. He looked up at Shen Jin and then at the equipment in his hand, and waved his hands quickly: "Brother Jin, this is too precious... I know it takes a lot of effort for you to make this kind of armor, and it costs a lot of diamonds. At present, you, Mr. Shang, Brother Ao, and Miss Li Moxiao each have a set of armor in the base. It's just right. It's not appropriate for me to wear this again. I can't accept it!"
"Then take it. This thing is very precious. But no matter how precious it is, it is for our service. You captains are all my people. You will walk with me to the end. There is no distinction between status. We are all brothers! Take it! This thing recognizes its owner. Once your genes are recorded, no one else can wear it."
Seeing Shen Jin's firm attitude, Sun Li no longer refused and took the priceless armor with fear.
"Thank you, Brother Jin!"
After the quantum armor identified his blood genes and bound to him, it turned into a stream of light and disappeared into Sun Li's chest. A green energy light also appeared on his chest, just like the one on Shen Jin's chest.
Shen Jin explained: "The helmet has a communication function. In this part of China, we should be able to communicate at any time. Call me if you have anything. Okay, go!"
"yes!"
Sun Li is a smart man. He knows how powerful this equipment is. When Shen Jin decided to give it to him, he must have trusted him from the bottom of his heart. Moreover, Shen Jin also let him lead such an important and secret force, which proved that Shen Jin valued him.
At first, when Sun Li joined Shen Jin's team of extraordinary people, it was to protect the villagers in his village and he helped Shen Jin with the mentality of a worker.
But... ever since Shen Jin handed over the secret forces to him, he completely changed his mindset, treating Home No. 1 as his own home and Shen Jin as his mentor.
"Brother Jin, I will not let you down. The road ahead is long and arduous. Let me, Sun Li... help you become the king of this apocalypse!"
Sun Li took the order and left.
Shen Jin sat on the roof of the studio, looking at the mountains to the northwest, secretly thinking about what Professor Kong Long had just said.
“There is no shortage of diamonds on the earth, but due to the limitations of current human mining technology, we can only collect some diamonds on the surface, and the number is very small.
Therefore, in order to meet the needs of industry, humans have studied the manufacturing methods of artificial diamonds, which have basically replaced the application of natural diamonds in the industrial field in recent years. If humans want to obtain a large amount of natural diamond mines, they need to dig about 160 kilometers deep into the ground. There, at the root of the "craton" geological layer, there is likely to be a huge amount of diamonds. It is estimated that... that is a trillion tons of diamond reserves..."
Professor Kong Long's words opened a door for Shen Jin.
Others can't dig it, but he has an [Advanced Mining Machine] that can dig 160 kilometers underground!
Shen Jin flew over and placed an advanced mining machine on each of the four mountains in the northwest. The machine was equipped with an OV scanner and the whitelist mode was turned on.
[Whitelist items: Diamond, Iridium Ore]
As long as there is electricity supply will scan from top to bottom, layer by layer, until it scans 160 kilometers underground. At that time... it will be known whether there are a large number of diamonds underground. If so, these 4 [Advanced Mining Machines] will dig a large number of diamonds from underground to solve his diamond resource crisis!
Shen Jin set up a whitelist of [iridium ore], hoping against hope. What if... there are clusters of iridium ores somewhere underground?
It is more profitable to dig it out than to dig it out from diamonds!
As for other common ores, Shen Jin does not need them for the time being. If needed, other [Advanced Mining Machines] will be used to mine them.
"The scanning speed of these four [advanced mining machines] is 10 kilometers per day. It takes 16 days to scan 160 kilometers underground. That means after 16 days, we will be able to clearly see whether there are diamonds underground."
Fortunately, if the [Advanced Mining Machine] only scans downwards, it will not consume too much electricity. Even if diamonds are found, the transmission range of 160 kilometers is very close.
You should know that the working principle of the [Advanced Mining Machine] is to use the built-in [Transporter] device to directly transport the blocks below.
Compared with the diamond mine, the power consumption of this transmission distance is negligible. Shen Jin usually uses [Teleport] to travel thousands of kilometers in the human body, directly from Home No. 1 to the headquarters of Tianluodiwang.
After setting up the machine, Shen Jin hadn't sat down for a while.
Long Taojia and Lao Wang came, "Boss! The branch base of Jinzhou City has been enclosed. According to your instructions, we have enclosed the most prosperous area in the center of Jinzhou City. It is 10 kilometers from east to west and 15 kilometers from north to south, with a total area of about 150 square kilometers. It is adjacent to the Jinzhou City Tianluodiwang Branch Base in the east. The materials used for our city wall are all [Compressed Rough Stone]. It is 50 meters high and 2 meters thick. We will thicken the city wall again later. At present, the city defense team is patrolling on the city wall to ensure the safety inside..."
After Long Taojia finished speaking, Lao Wang immediately reported: "Boss, the No. 1 Homeland Specialty Commercial District has also been established, and the location is in the eastern part of our circle - inside the city gymnasium.
I transformed the gymnasium into a large commercial area, which includes our self-service area, grocery store, equipment store, etc. The self-service vending machines are already filled with grain, oil, crystal cores, and various extraordinary potions, which is consistent with other areas.
The grocery store is filled with all kinds of daily necessities, including vegetables and meat shipped from the No. 1 Home Headquarters, as well as many household appliances and tools recycled from Jinzhou City, which can basically meet the basic living needs of the residents.
In addition to the regular Artisan Armor, the equipment store also adds more powerful alloy equipment, as well as nano armor, nano swords, etc.
In addition, we have thoroughly cleaned up 20 residential areas in the east of the city and reinstalled water supply systems for these communities. The power bureau also gave priority to supplying electricity to this area, ensuring that the first batch of residents who move in can use water and electricity as quickly as before the end of the world.
The circuits in other places have also been basically repaired, but after a year of destruction by zombies and nature has suffered many irreversible damages, which makes repairs a bit troublesome. I have recruited a large number of workers to clean up. After the cleanup, the construction team will fill in the damaged areas and restore the city's appearance. However, this will take some time, maybe about half a month.
But overall, the living facilities in the eastern area of our city are complete and can accommodate the survivors!
By the way! I have selected a high-rise office building in the east district of the city as the office for our No. 1 Home official staff. Your office is on the top floor and has been renovated for you. Mr. Shang has also sent HR and administrative personnel to be stationed there, ready to respond to your orders at any time! "
Lao Wang is worthy of being Lao Wang. He has a very good grasp of the overall situation of the city and his descriptions are detailed and accurate. Shen Jin is very satisfied.
"It's not in vain that I've served as the district chief in Hulu District. My overall view is different from others! Now that we have done the preliminary work and planted the phoenix tree, let's... open the door and attract the phoenix! Come on, follow me to Jinzhou City."
Shen Jin took the lead in taking off, and the others followed him.
On the way to the flight, Shen Jin looked at the empty seashore from Hulu District to Jinzhou City, and said to Long Taojia: "Old Long, let's also install [wind turbines] and [hydroelectric generators] on this coastline, or follow our previous practice, and then connect these electricity to the Jinzhou City base. I will also build a storage power station at the Jinzhou City base to supply the base with daily electricity."
Residents do not use much electricity for their daily lives because there are few survivors. One wind turbine can generate 70,000 kWh of electricity per day, which is enough to supply daily electricity to 3,500 households. Although Hulu District is relatively close to Jinzhou City, with only 40 kilometers of coastline, it is enough for them to install 260 wind turbines, which can generate 18.2 million kWh of electricity per day. If 80,000 hydroelectric generators are installed in this sea, 19.2 million kWh of electricity can be generated every day. Together, there are 37.4 million kWh of electricity!
It can be said that it is quite sufficient!
Even... a little too much.
However, Shen Jin wants to build a charging station in Jinzhou City to replenish the captains' quantum armor.
As for the excess electricity, Shen Jin will set up a [Molecular Recombination Instrument] here to run it, so it will not be wasted.
The more electricity the better.
Soon, they arrived at the Jinzhou City base.
The high walls outside the city give people a sense of security.
The base was deserted and very quiet. Occasionally, you could see someone, who was also a civilian supernatural being from Home No. 1. They were clearing zombies and scavenging supplies in the mountains and small towns around Jinzhou City, and they were resting here temporarily.
After all, this is the safe zone of Home No. 1. There is no place safer than this. There are empty houses everywhere on the street and you can find a place to spend the night.
The others around Shen Jin looked at the empty and superficial base below and felt a little worried, but when they saw Shen Jin's confident look, they suddenly felt confident. Since the boss ordered them to do this, there must be a way.
Shen Jin did not look down, but walked straight to the east gate of the base, which was opposite the entrance of the Tianluodiwang branch base in Jinzhou City.
Standing on the city wall and looking at the Tianluodiwang headquarters, although it is very dilapidated, it is bustling with people. The 100,000 survivors are still a bit crowded inside, and the living facilities are also very poor. It is almost like a refugee camp...
Looking down along the shadow of the city wall, the 5-meter-high wall of Tianluodiwang seemed like a toy, and was completely overwhelmed in terms of momentum.
Not to mention that Shen Jin's walls were all made of [Compressed Stone], which was extremely hard. People from Jinzhou City came here secretly and found that the material of the wall was extremely hard. It took the efforts of their second-level extraordinary people to shake it. But if they really wanted to tear down the wall, it would be very difficult. Before they could tear it down a few times, they were shot into a hornet's nest by those people with crossbows above...
Such a city wall can completely defend against the second-level zombies, but their city wall can only defend against ordinary evolved zombies, and even the first-level evolved zombies can easily pass through it.
People are afraid of comparison, the more they compare, the angrier they get.
The patrol team at the Tianluodiwang branch base looked at the towering city wall opposite with envy, imagining how safe it would be inside. At least they wouldn't have to be so cautious when patrolling, for fear that a first-level evolved zombie would jump out from below and scratch them.
And the zombies' sneak attacks are not a big deal. The most important thing is that their wall will be broken after a few hits by the zombies and will have to be rebuilt. In the past year... they have repaired the wall hundreds of times, an average of once a day.
However, the sudden construction of a huge wall by Home No. 1 to enclose such a large area seemed a bit strange in the eyes of the top brass of the Tianluodiwang branch base in Jinzhou City.
It’s okay for them to use this wall, but... why did the people from Home No. 1 come here to build it?
There aren't many of them here.
"Is it... to give it to us as a gift?"
The Minister of Logistics made a bold guess!
This caused unanimous eye rolls from other senior executives.
"If it was really built for us, we would have said it long ago. There's no need to hide it. Does anyone really think that Home No. 1 is going to give us a surprise?"
"Perhaps the people from their other bases will immigrate here? But that shouldn't be the case... Logically speaking, the facilities in their old base should be more abundant, and Jinzhou City doesn't have any resources that require them to be stationed here."
No one else understood, only Ma Xiangnan suddenly realized something, "Send a signalman to watch the door and see if the people from Home No. 1 have any new moves."
30 minutes later, the signalman came running over to report: "Report to the commander! The people in Homeland No. 1 built two rows of super bright street lights, stretching from the entrance of their base to the entrance of our base. The ground between the gates of the two bases was demolished and re-paved with red bricks, which is very beautiful. In addition, their city walls are full of red lanterns, the kind hung during the Spring Festival... very bright and festive. They also made an electronic scrolling screen in the middle of the city gate, which reads..."
"What was written?" Ma Xiangnan felt that his ominous premonition was about to come true.
"It says: Water, electricity, and wifi are available 24 hours a day in Home City No. 1 for free. There are also food, vegetables, meat, eggs, and milk, as well as medicines to advance to Extraordinary. Survivors are welcome to come shopping. Those who apply for long-term stay can choose houses in the city first. They are fully furnished and ready to move in!"
"By the way, their city gate has another name: Carp Leaping Over the Dragon Gate!"
Ma Xiangnan et al.: 〣(°Δ°)〣
They finally understood what Home No. 1 was going to do...
Rob people!!!
