Chapter 110 Windmills, Power Plants, and Large Camps

Wind turbines, massive wind power generation facilities, all with the design of ancient windmills, harness the clean energy that has been flowing through the world for millennia.

All materials are ready, and construction can begin at any time.

Lu Sheng scanned the text that appeared. Relying on large enterprises saved him a lot of effort. This typhoon wind turbine alone was enough to guarantee the energy supply for the entire camp for several years.

And this is just the beginning. After the first unit is built, Golden Sunflower will send in the remaining materials, as their goal is to build a small wind power plant.

With an estimated capacity of twenty units, the camp could easily be developed into a small town.

This investment is a drop in the ocean for Golden Sunflower, but it's by no means free.

Lu Sheng was fully aware of this.

The management of my camp is almost entirely composed of people from the Golden Sunflower organization; I'm essentially working for them, except—

Lu Sheng didn't think there was anything wrong with this.

If Golden Sunflower is unreliable, then is Jiang Shutong reliable?

If you want to doubt, there is no one in the world who is beyond doubt. People often say that the deepest and strongest connection in the world is blood, but the previous life died because of this blood.

If you want to doubt, nothing in the world is credible.

Therefore, Lu Sheng chose to believe.

Perhaps it's good to leave room for countermeasures while still having faith.

But Rikuo doesn't have parents who were shot in an alley, and he doesn't like wearing black bodysuits. Some people do this because of an overly dark past, and Rikuo understands.

But he wouldn't. His past wasn't that dark. In his previous life, he lived in a happy country where people were so happy that even though they knew their country was established by overthrowing oppressors and invaders, they still felt that when a great disaster came, the good people should be killed first.

Like fledglings in a greenhouse, they can only gaze at the darkness to imagine the depths of the world.

Lu Sheng used to think they were a bunch of complete idiots, but now he misses the land that could give birth to such idiots.

He knew he could never go back, but there was still hope in building a similar haven to provide refuge for people in the long night.

"Boss, what should we do with these people?"

Lu Sheng was brought back to his senses by Meng Lingshi. Confused, he looked in the direction she pointed, where a group of technicians who had arrived with the convoy were.

The number is nearly fifty.

He asked Meng Lingshi, "What's going on with these people?"

Meng Lingshi explained, "They are maintenance personnel, sent by Golden Sunflower. They are all wind power equipment maintenance personnel who have been on the battlefield. Boss, you should understand now."

By the way, while these maintenance personnel nominally report to you, boss, their superior in the organizational structure is Caiwei.

Lu Sheng looked at the technicians who were talking to each other, raised his hand and touched his chin, which was a little prickly because he had just shaved.

"Guess what I was thinking just now? I was thinking that Golden Sunflower is someone I can trust. I don't need to overthink things; I just need to cooperate well."

"And now?"

"It depends on who pays for these people's living expenses."

Lu Sheng sized up the technicians. He didn't care much about them; the camp needed to expand and required more manpower.

The worst-case scenario is that all these people will obey Su Caiwei's orders, and Su Caiwei will be on the same side as him, so there's nothing to worry about.

As for taking precautions—being wary of the only doctor in the camp—that's practically the same as going insane.

If possible, Lu Sheng doesn't want to be wary of anyone. There's an old saying that fighting with others is endlessly enjoyable, but that's only in a relatively stable environment.

The campsite's conditions were so precarious that they were practically on the verge of collapse.

"I've inquired, and their living expenses are covered by Golden Sunflower. However, after the Eternal Night arrives, there may be a global communication disruption due to natural disasters. Therefore, I suggest that you build a signal enhancement base station, boss."

Meng Lingshi explained the current situation of this team of skilled workers to Lu Sheng: "Coincidentally, among these skilled workers, there happens to be an expert in this field. Jin Kuihua will not ask you, the boss, to work for nothing. Even if the base station is built, it cannot guarantee that long-distance communication will remain stable during the Eternal Night. At most, it can prevent long-term loss of contact."

Therefore, their living expenses will be directly deposited into your account a month before the eternal night arrives, and you will be in charge of managing them.

Lu Sheng clicked his tongue; the various preferential treatments offered by Golden Sunflower made it almost impossible for him to find a reason to refuse.

"Alright, let them stay. As for accommodation, see if the dormitory building can accommodate them. If not, they'll have to squeeze in."

At this point, Lu Sheng raised his hand and instructed Meng Lingshi: "Leave this matter to Cheng Qiushui to arrange."

"it is good."

After Meng Lingshi left, Lu Sheng found a large rock and sat down. In front of him were piles of wind turbines, and behind him was his Camp No. 49, his only home in the world.

As the wind blew, he began to think.

Currently, the entire camp is in a rather disorganized state, with a small number of people and they haven't been able to make good use of the resources.

Taking advantage of the time he had, he reorganized the entire camp's structure.

First of all, the camp commander, the leader of the entire organization, is undoubtedly himself.

Below him was his deputy, Lin Ran, who served as both a mechanical engineer and a sniper.

Although Lin Ran had previously said that he would decide whether to leave the camp when winter was approaching.

But with the eternal night approaching, Lu Sheng was not worried that he would leave.

To some extent, he believed that Lin Ran was the person who would stay by his side the longest.

He wanted to try to believe in many people, but he was certain that he could trust Lin Ran without any burden.

Besides Lin Ran, there is Jiang Shutong.

Jiang Shutong himself is a businessman who came here to develop the area.

Although he and I share some camaraderie, our relationship is primarily one of business collaboration.

As a partner, he can provide considerable assistance and play a significant role in attracting investment and operating the camp.

Even though he spent almost the same amount of time with Lin Ran, Lu Sheng couldn't place him in a position similar to Lin Ran's.

The other party is a businessman, a businessman whose fundamental purpose is profit.

In Lu Sheng's mind, he can only trust people in the second tier.

Next came the five people sent by the Golden Sunflower.

As the team leader, Cheng Qiushui is currently in charge of personnel arrangements within the camp.

An organization has two most important powers: financial power and personnel power.

The financial power is nominally in Lin Ran's hands, but in reality it is in Lu Sheng's own hands.

Lu Sheng handed over personnel authority to Cheng Qiushui.

So far, Cheng Qiushui is doing a decent job.

However, since many things were new to him, Lu Sheng was not in a hurry for him to achieve any significant results and was willing to give him enough time.

From now on, Lu Sheng also intends to continue to hand over personnel authority to him, and he will only make decisions at some key times. Otherwise, as the camp grows larger and larger, it will definitely be difficult for him to manage, without a doubt.

Next up is the one I'm least worried about among these five: Meng Lingshi.

Lu Sheng even felt that he and Meng Lingshi could form a united front, as long as he actually fixed it.

But this was just a feeling he had; he couldn't even find any concrete evidence.

If Meng Lingshi were truly granted complete freedom, would she be willing to work with him to build a great city in such a desolate, godforsaken place?

It seems more worthwhile to go back to the city, find a high-level management position, and enjoy an upper-class lifestyle.

As for him, Lu Sheng felt that nothing he did count until he fulfilled his promise to fix her.

But he wasn't going to drag this out for too long. He had enough credits to buy enough materials to help her repair her body.

Next up is Su Caiwei, the camp's doctor.

As a doctor, Lu Sheng had no doubt about Su Caiwei's professional competence.

As the daughter of a high-ranking executive, Lu Sheng had no doubts about Su Caiwei's family background.

Without her, I would have to upgrade my camp to have a wind turbine.

Although he is currently somewhat constrained by the phenomenon of the Golden Sunflower, Lu Sheng doesn't think it's a big deal.

To develop, we must learn to cooperate.

If you only believe in your own meager strength, the result will be no different from your predecessor: you will commit suicide in despair.

As for her personality, Lu Sheng didn't care much. Anyway, he didn't plan to marry her. As long as she could fulfill her duties as a doctor, her personality didn't matter.

Next is Song Yan, an ecologist specializing in nocturnal creatures.

Lu Sheng had already recognized Song Yan's knowledge; he had obtained information that many powerful forces needed to use various instruments to detect, simply by observing with his own eyes.

According to others, he also possesses a method to transform humans into creatures of the night, and this method is even considered successful, a mature technology, but he is unwilling to hand it over to Golden Sunflower.

If a powerful force were to use and promote this technology, it would be entirely possible to transform all of humanity into nocturnal creatures to survive in this era.

But this is definitely not a good idea, at least Lu Sheng doesn't agree. He thinks it's better to be a human being.

In his view, Song Yan possesses extremely long-term value, but his current camp is not able to make good use of it.

Although he could only do odd jobs for a while and even have to be supported by money, Lu Sheng thought it was worth it.

The last person is Professor Jia Yijia.

It's clearly not appropriate to have an elderly person like that do manual labor.

Although he looked very healthy.

As an expert in economics, or rather, a highly respected senior scholar, Lu Sheng felt that his wisdom could provide considerable assistance to the construction of this camp.

He even wanted to discuss with the old scholar a feasible plan for the construction and management of the camp, not about building construction, but about cultural development.

Besides these five people, there were only two groups left in the camp: one group consisted of vagrants, and the other group consisted of family members.

In the future, the power of the family members will grow significantly, but the family will split into many factions, as many of them are people sent by other families to seek refuge.

Therefore, Lu Sheng is preparing to consider Cheng Qiushui's suggestion to train the young and middle-aged among the vagrants into his own team.

In fact, they are now responsible for the security of the camp.

However, relying solely on these young adults is far from enough. Once the family members have established themselves, their excellent education will quickly become a huge advantage.

In the vast majority of job competitions, if there were even a little bit of fairness, the homeless would have no chance of competing with them.

However, Lu Sheng also has some of his own ideas on this matter.

People often say that a country focuses on two things, namely honors.

To put it simply, it's about fighting and sacrifice.

The former serves the latter, and the latter sometimes serves the former as well.

If the former is lost, then there is no power to face the enemy.

Without the latter, the former will not know why they are fighting.

The mainland students are preparing to organize a festival, and the entire camp will also celebrate some established traditional festivals.

This will enhance the cohesion of the entire camp.

As for the former, he planned to recruit Qin Feng's entire team into the camp.

Meng Lingshi is the sharpest sword in his hand, but Meng Lingshi himself is unwilling to be a combatant, so Lu Sheng needs a real full-time combatant.

After much consideration, Lu Sheng stood up and stretched in the wilderness, facing the wind.

He wanted to shout it out loud, but considering that the camp was not far behind him, and for the sake of his image as a leader, he restrained himself.

Looking at the components of these wind turbines, he knew very well that these things could not be built next to the camp.

To avoid noise problems, you should be at least 100 meters away from the campsite.

Fortunately, Lu Sheng already has a solution for this.

The camp will expand next, and at the same time, the land-based students plan to include these materials to directly expand it into a large camp with a connecting passage to the wind power plant.

He tried to convey this idea to his upgrade system, and the upgrade system responded in a perfectly feasible way: a text that appeared in the sky above.

A large camp is connected to a wind power plant. A large camp is built by consuming an extremely large amount of materials. A wind power plant will be deployed at a certain distance from this large camp. The two camps are connected by a double-layered channel, both above and below ground, forming a tight power distribution system.

This plan requires the consumption of an extremely large amount of materials.

Looking at the text and the specific materials required, Lu Sheng raised his terminal bracelet and reported the required numbers to Jiang Shutong.

This time, he did not take the initiative to contact the merchant and Wei Fa.

He decided to hand over all the procurement matters to Jiang Shutong, so that he could lighten his burden.

The eternal night is approaching, and there are still many things I need to consider.

After sending the message, Jiang Shutong quickly replied with a text message: "Boss, do you really need this much?"

This is no small amount. Even if we had sufficient funds, it would still take some time to transfer the goods here.

"Can we get this done before the eternal night arrives?"

Having received Lu Sheng's insistent reply, Jiang Shutong immediately began to think of a solution, and soon she came up with a plan: "Give me a month."
