Chapter 111 Windmills, Power Plants, and Large Camps (Part 2)
There is still a month and a half before the arrival of Eternal Night. If the necessary materials can be prepared within a month, it is perfectly acceptable for mainland students.
His biggest worry now is that the entire camp will lack both manpower and supplies after the arrival of eternal night.
However, that was a huge undertaking, and it was not enough to do it all by ourselves.
So he started looking for help.
However, in today's world, it is very difficult to find a trustworthy helper.
This is why Lin Ran is so precious in his eyes.
Before long, Jiang Xin and Lin Luo arrived beside him and were greatly shocked to see the wind power plants piled up like small mountains in the distance.
Jiang Xin spoke first, saying, "Lu Sheng, if this power plant can be built, then there is hope for the revival of this entire transportation hub."
We could even go a step further and dig a reservoir next to it and fill it with water.
Then they dug another pool of the same size further underground.
When there is surplus electricity generated by wind power, the excess electricity is used to pump water up.
When there is no wind, the sluice gates are opened to release water, allowing the water to flow through the hydroelectric power station to maintain a stable power supply.
This power generation system was proven and highly reliable in the Old World.
The intelligent control system shouldn't be a problem for you, given your construction capabilities.
Hearing Jiang Xin's words, Lu Sheng nodded: "The method is correct, but there's no rush to do it now."
Excavating a reservoir is a huge project, so let's use batteries as a temporary solution for now.
Although the battery has some drawbacks compared to your method, it shouldn't be a big problem for short-term use.
He then looked at Lin Luo: "Don't you have anything to say?"
Lin Luo shook his head: "Cooperation with Golden Sunflower will not make any difference or affect our cooperation."
If I had to say something, it would be that I would give you a higher evaluation and write a report to submit to the family. They might then be willing to cooperate with you more deeply.
Lu Sheng nodded, and then told the two about the biggest changes that would happen to the entire camp.
"After that, the camp will expand four times."
He held up four fingers: "And this is just the beginning."
Considering that some improvements will be made before expansion, the final area will be 5 to 6 times larger.
The camp will also be connected to a wind farm and a train station.
How many people do you think would be needed to keep such a camp running?
Jiang Xin and Lin Luo exchanged a glance, and they both understood why Lu Sheng had summoned them and was telling them all this.
Lu Sheng wanted to find more people from them.
There are currently no more than 100 people in the entire camp.
To maintain a camp 5 to 6 times larger, a minimum of 1,000 people are needed.
These thousand people cannot be ordinary people; they need to have different strengths.
This presents a golden opportunity for the Jiang and Lin families to inject their influence into the conflict.
Lin Luo first asked tentatively, "Lu Sheng, we understand what you mean."
However, this camp still nominally belongs to your Lu family. If we rashly send people to stay here, it might be difficult for us to save face.
Lu Sheng waved his hand: "Then get lost."
This abrupt remark surprised Lin Luo.
Lu Sheng then said, "There's only a month and a half left until the Eternal Night arrives, so I don't have time for pleasantries."
If you're willing to cooperate, then cooperate; if you're not, then get lost.
I have plenty of people to work with, I don't need you.
If you don't like what I'm saying, you can get out now.
Lin Luo had never seen Lu Sheng like this since arriving at the camp.
He felt extremely humiliated.
"Very well, I misjudged you before. I'm leaving now, and you can forget about getting any more resources or assistance from the Lin family."
Seeing Lin Luo leave, Jiang Xin was a little surprised. Before the other party really left, Jiang Xin spoke up as a peacemaker: "Old Lin, don't be impulsive. And Lu Sheng, why are you so angry?"
I know you're probably anxious about this, but please don't take it out on us. We're all here to help you.
Lu Sheng was no longer in the mood to say nice things to them: "Golden Sunflower will provide me with everything I need in the future. I have decided to cooperate with them properly."
This camp no longer belongs to the Lu family; it belongs to me alone.
If you only want to cooperate with the Lu family, you'd better leave as soon as possible.
"Don't say anything more about the Lu family. There's only one Lu family member in this area, and that's me, Lu Sheng."
Hearing such arrogant words, Lin Luo wanted to say something, such as, "Aren't you afraid that the Lu family will send their own army?"
But after thinking about it, he realized that this place was in a remote location, and organizing a large-scale attack would be a losing proposition.
If a small-scale force were organized, mainland students, who are currently cooperating with multiple forces, might not be without countermeasures.
If the battle reaches a stalemate, everything will be over once Eternal Night arrives.
Similarly, if this camp doesn't survive until the end of the eternal night, nothing Rikuo does will make a difference.
After thinking it over, he felt that Lu Sheng's current attitude meant he was really anxious, so he decided to be more magnanimous.
On the surface, he feigned a sigh, putting on a helpless expression.
"Alright, Lu Sheng, I understand you're under a lot of pressure."
In the future, the livelihoods of many more people will be on your shoulders. What will you do if you can't even withstand this little bit of pressure?
Don't worry, we won't leave you to bear the pressure alone; we're all here for you.
We will send enough people to this camp, but in exchange, we also want management positions.
"Now the entire camp is under your sole control, and even the people sent by Golden Sunflower listen to you. Is it too much for me to ask for a little autonomy?"
Lu Sheng shook his head: "I'll let you handle the commercial activities, but I'll be in charge of the administration of the entire camp."
Whether you want to trade or establish a presence is up to you.
But if you want to interfere with the development of the camp, then you'd better be aligned with my thinking.
Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, Jiang Xin immediately smoothed things over: "Alright, alright, both of you take a step back."
Lin Luo was also worried that his people would be ostracized after they arrived, since Lu Sheng, the composition of your camp was already too complicated.
Lu Sheng then told him, "The solution is simple: Jiang Xin, you should also find the same number of people."
Jin Kuihua has already sent a group of people over. You will send another group, and together with the group already in the camp, as well as the group that will arrive from the Lu family soon, the total number of people in the camp will reach a very considerable level. Then everyone will be able to develop this camp in harmony.
That sounds cheerful.
But Lu Sheng spoke slowly and deliberately, and his expression showed no joy whatsoever; rather, it was more like a fervent anticipation for the future.
That anticipation, though not joyful, contained unwavering determination.
Having understood Lu Sheng's stance, Jiang Xin and Lin Luo nodded in unison.
Lin Luo then backed down, saying, "Alright, alright, what kind of expert do you need? I'll write it down for you."
I guarantee I'll bring a huge group of people and eat your camp out of business.
And I must warn you, we will not be bringing our own food.
Lu Sheng nodded: "I'll figure out a way to provide food."
By the way, do you sell food that can be stored for a long time?
Lin Luo's lips twitched at this moment: "You still want to do business with me? You were just acting like that. Aren't you afraid that I'll say I won't sell to you now?"
'
Lu Sheng wasn't worried at all: "I know the tempers of you family scions very well. Even if I beat you up right now, as long as I throw the purchase contract in your face later and the profit is considerable, you'll still happily sell the goods to me."
Lin Luo immediately got angry: "I know you're under a lot of pressure, but you can't say this in public, even if it's true."
Jiang Xin clapped his hands: "Alright, alright, providing some essential supplies is also our duty. Let's write down what we need now."
Lu Sheng immediately turned on his personal communication terminal.
However, he didn't message the two of them, but instead messaged Zhao Cai.
He couldn't calculate the supplies needed for the camp in a short time, but for Zhao Cai, a robot, it would only take a few seconds, or even longer, to arrive at the answer.
Before long, the list of goods needed for the entire camp was sent to Jiang Xin and Lin Luo's personal terminals.
The two people received different lists, and Zhao Cai wrote different lists based on the resources that the two people could provide.
Looking at the list of required materials, the two nodded and told Lu Sheng that it would take about half a month to gather them all, and that enough manpower and supplies would arrive in half a month.
A few days later, Lu Sheng determined the location where the wind power plant should be built, and he led the workers to fence off the site beforehand.
Then, the entire camp and the area where this site is located were selected as the upgrade target, and the wind turbine components piled up like small mountains were directly transferred to the planned area through upgrades.
With a clap of his hands, the entire earth trembled, and the mountain of wind turbine components turned into points of light that converged into a golden storm.
The storm moved toward the planned site, rapidly reorganizing in the wind.
At the same time, Lu Sheng also saw the text:
The land designated for wind power generation is about to be upgraded to a wind power plant.
The power plant has 20 typhoon wind turbines.
Once the upgrade is complete, the supporting facilities will be built and connected to the base power grid. Please select the upgrade option.
First, dynamic regulation: The wind turbine will dynamically regulate the power output, so that the power generation efficiency is maintained at a stable level, extending the service life from 20 years to 50 years.
Second, wind energy storage: The battery capacity of wind power stations will be greatly increased, and the batteries will be buried underground to further enhance safety.
Third, disaster contingency plans: Wind power plants will activate contingency plans to deal with various disasters. When various disasters occur, they will automatically switch to disaster prevention mode, which will have a greater probability of protecting themselves in the event of a disaster.
Disasters that can be dealt with at present, such as acid rain, earthquakes, thunderstorms, etc.
By selecting this upgrade, the wind power plant's ability to cope with extreme weather conditions will also be improved.
Mainland students really like these upgrade plans.
But faced with the impending eternal night, he chose the third option without hesitation.
As the choice was made, the wind power plant gradually took shape.
This is an area much larger than the campsite, located about 500 meters away from the campsite.
Among these, a wide road with about eight lanes has taken shape, with high walls erected on both sides of the road.
Once this passageway was completed, the entire wind power plant was connected to the camp.
Immediately afterwards, the main structure of the wind power plant began to be built.
Giant windmills rose from the ground.
At the bottom of the windmill, rows of factory buildings are assembled together.
From a distance, it looks like a huge cluster of windmills.
In the wind of the wilderness, the windmills of the wind farm began to turn slowly.
The electricity generated immediately connected to the entire camp's power grid, even causing a short-term overload.
Then, through the intelligent regulation of the camp's power grid, most of the unused electricity begins to flow into the storage batteries.
These wind power stations have large batteries that are much larger than those in the terrestrial camps.
After this miraculous construction was completed, the maintenance staff from Golden Sunflower quickly moved in via the roads.
They didn't even introduce themselves to Lu Sheng, and Lu Sheng wasn't interested in them at all.
However, according to Cheng Qiushui's account, these maintenance personnel were very willing to follow Lu Sheng's orders.
Soon, news of the wind power station's construction spread throughout the surrounding areas.
It was also relayed back to the headquarters of Golden Sunflower.
However, there was no major movement at headquarters. Su Caiwei's mother sent a letter praising Lu Sheng and stating that a security team would arrive soon to maintain the safety of the power plant.
This security team is fully at Lu Sheng's disposal.
Their expenses will be transferred to the mainland students' accounts in the form of funds shortly.
Lu Sheng paused for a moment at the last two digits of the account number in this letter.
He recognized that this was not his own account, but Lin Ran's account.
It was obvious that Golden Sunflower was fully aware of his little tricks.
However, he didn't feel nervous because the other party was his business partner.
Nearly a month later, during which time batches of building materials piled up on the open ground outside the camp because there were so many that they could not be stored inside the camp.
Meanwhile, the number of people in the camp is also increasing.
Although several more dormitory buildings were built during this period, they were already too small to accommodate everyone, and many people had to temporarily squeeze into the wind power station.
Lu Sheng promised them that once all the materials were ready, the entire camp would undergo a major expansion.
At the same time, all sorts of supplies were also brought into the camp.
The credits in the account are quickly depleted every day, while the supplies for dealing with the eternal night are improved day by day.
Half a month before the arrival of Eternal Night, Jiang Shutong sent Lu Sheng a report that all the materials had been collected.
At this moment, Lu Sheng, who was sitting in Cheng Qiushui's personnel department, waved to Meng Lingshi beside him: "Let's go, let's upgrade you."
