The next day, Hong Tao did not continue to lead the field team on the mission. Instead, he called all the team leaders together early in the morning. He first reported the new situation discovered at the Indian Embassy yesterday and some results of the anatomy test in the evening, and then held a meeting.

After discussing for more than an hour, we finally reached an agreement to move as soon as possible.

According to the original plan, the renovation project of the ring fortifications will continue until October, and no later than November. In addition to power supply, drainage and sewage, the spatial structure needs to be further improved, and the heating system is the top priority.

After November enters the north, the indoor temperature is not enough to meet daily needs, and artificial heating is necessary. Nowadays, central heating cannot be counted on, and geothermal air conditioning is even more of a luxury. How should we survive the severe winter?

During the initial discussion, the survivors actively participated and expressed their opinions. Some people said that they should go to the library to find books and light a fire to keep warm; some said that books are not resistant to burning and should be chopped up furniture and used as firewood; others said that they should be used as firewood.

Several gasoline barrels, throw all kinds of junk in, pour gasoline...

Hong Tao patiently listened to a lot of movie and TV drama plots and took them as jokes. It was not that he didn't have reliable suggestions. For example, You Yi came up with an idea to use solar energy for heating.

This method is theoretically feasible and has applications in practice. However, there is a problem. There will be no place to find so many suitable solar panels and matching accessories.

Taking a step back, even if you find it, you need to build solar panels, integrate them to operate them, and add in the liquid circulation system. It is a very large and complex project that requires professionals. Just rely on the manpower of the rescue team.

, not only the labor force is insufficient, the equipment is insufficient, but the technical capabilities are also insufficient, making it temporarily impossible to put it into practice.

However, this is not a complete denial. Solar heating is actually the same as other heat source heating in terms of liquid circulation. This means that you can build this part first and temporarily use other heat sources to replace solar panels for heating. You can then build solar panels when the conditions are met later.

As a supplement, it is neither contradictory nor wasteful.

In the end, Hong Tao chose the boiler heating system because it was the most familiar to him and the easiest to find equipment. The boiler was used to heat the water, and the radiator was used to increase the indoor temperature through water circulation.

Having said all that, it is actually a large-scale earth-heated heater. In the 1980s and 1990s, many dormitory buildings in Beijing were built like this, with a boiler room, one or several buildings, and an office area.

It’s just that the boilers at that time were coal-fired. Nowadays, large cities have not allowed coal-burning for many years. There is no place to find coal in the surrounding area, so we can only continue to burn liquefied gas. Fortunately, there are many liquefied gas stations in the old city.

, I dare not say how many years it will last, but at least it is guaranteed this winter.

Next year, the year after that, the year after that... Hong Tao has also thought about this problem, and in the worst case, he will change it to an oil-fired boiler. Although there are currently no experts in this field in the team, you can slowly find one, or you can simply learn it yourself.

What? Hong Tao can also heat water! Oh, don’t be so surprised. Back then, many families made their own earth heaters. The principle is the same, except that the size of the boiler is different. If you can’t make a big one, you can make a few small ones. In short, it can

Just keep the room temperature above ten degrees, and no living person should be allowed to urinate to death.

But after seeing the thing that looked like a human and a zombie, Hong Tao couldn't wait any longer. He tried to convince everyone with facts and reasons to move immediately!

By the way, this little guy Zhang Ke once again corrected Hong Tao's misunderstanding. He said that thing shouldn't be called that thing, but a living corpse!

Hong Tao agreed with the name. Indeed, it seemed to be alive and still had some human characteristics, including intelligence. But in fact, it was dead, or it had been parasitized by other creatures and had completely taken over its body. It could not be considered a human at all.

.

The courtyard is surrounded by flat houses, has a low zombie density, and is guarded by a large lake. It is also connected in all directions and has easy access to daily necessities. It is indeed more suitable for survivors to live in the early stage.

But it also has fatal flaws. There are dense alleys, too many entrances, and the buildings are not strong enough. Once besieged by zombies, it is difficult to defend and evacuate. There was no possibility of zombie siege before, but the appearance of living zombies gave Hong Tao a wake-up call.

Alarm bell.

In fact, there is another possibility that he is most worried about, a similar sneak attack! Just like when he attacked Sun Dacheng's gang, once someone discovers this place, hides in the dark, waits for an opportunity, and looks for an opportunity to launch a surprise attack, the consequences will be disastrous.

So regardless of whether there is a heating system or not, in order to save yourself and the lives of others in your team, you must move as soon as possible. Even if you really use gasoline and firewood for heating, surviving the severe winter in the smoke and fire is much more comfortable than being in fear all day long.

.

"These two small boilers alone are not enough. I do know where there are high-power oil boilers, but disassembly, hoisting, transportation, installation and use are all big problems. And we don't have experts in this field. What if it happens in the basement?

If something goes wrong inside, that thing will be much more powerful than a few boxes of grenades!"

Most people, including Liu Quanyou, were convinced by Hong Tao. In fact, as long as it was said to be unsafe and there were reliable reasons, most people had no objections. They were all rescued from the zombie siege.

, fully aware of the despair and helplessness, would rather freeze and starve than try again, even if it is only a relatively high possibility.

But some people have raised difficulties, such as Li Xiang. It’s not that she doesn’t want to move, but rationality tells her that the conditions there are not ready for the winter, and Hong Tao’s suggestion of moving the gas boiler in the small courtyard for use cannot solve the fundamental problem.

question.

"Well, it is true that relying on them to heat more than 2,000 square meters of underground space will not do much." Regarding this question, Hong Tao must admit that the maximum heating area of ​​the two gas boilers in the small courtyard is less than 300 square meters. Even if it is doubled, it will only be enough.

Six hundred is too far off.

"But there is a problem you haven't considered. We don't need to include more than 2,000 square meters at all. We only need to ensure the indoor temperature of 200 square meters. We have less than 40 people, divided into two areas for men and women.

One hundred square meters per block should be enough to live in, right? Comrades, it’s the end of the world now. Change your mind. Don’t think about two or three bedrooms anymore. You can have a dormitory in Datongbu. As long as the temperature is enough, you won’t be exposed to the cold.

If you’re hungry and not cold, it’s heaven!”

Hong Tao has seen the drawings of Li Xiang's renovation plan. This girl is an all-rounder. Not only is she good at mechanical and electrical repairs, but she can also draw decoration plans. Snow storage area, living area, living area, medical area, waste disposal area, etc.

The space arrangement is very detailed and reasonable. No one can fault it, and I am very satisfied.

But then again, it is indeed okay to do this in peaceful times, but now and then, as the environment changes, humans must adapt immediately instead of waiting for the environment to adapt to themselves. Li Xiang and most of the survivors

Those who have adapted are a bit slow. Their bodies have entered the end of the world, but their minds are still partially stuck in the past.

"Datongpu...what should I do if someone snores!" After hearing Hong Tao's plan, Lin Na was not happy at first.

"Director Lin, you are also a cadre after all. You are an example in every word and deed. Can you set an example?" Hong Tao rolled his eyes and was about to retort when he suddenly saw Jiao San's nervous face and forcefully put the venom in his mouth.

I swallowed it. But the breath was so suffocated that it almost hit my heart with poisonous gas.

"Then get bunk beds. There are on-duty dormitories at every subway station. It's very easy to find! But then we have to build a wall to completely separate the living area!" Li Xiang also dismissed Lin Na's coquettishness.

We have agreed in principle to Hong Tao's method, but he is not very good at civil engineering and needs to send someone else to complete it.

"You don't need to build a wall first. I'll do a trick for you. You can build the partition in three days. It's no less airtight than the wall. Believe it or not?"

If you want to completely separate an independent area and keep it warm, the most common way is to build a wall. But Hong Tao doesn't have that many manpower to search for suitable masonry and cement, let alone completely build the wall, otherwise the circular fortification will be cut off.

It was very inconvenient to pass. So he tried another strange trick, with a sinister smile on his face, trying to arouse Li Xiang's blood and take a gamble!

"Xin, You Yi and I will continue to the station to remove the water pipes and radiators, and we will start installing them as soon as you finish building the partitions!" Unfortunately, Li Xiang was very feminine in this regard, and didn't have any anger at all, so he slid over very freely.
Chapter completed!
