After checking on Chen Jiayi's condition, Luo Yuan didn't stay long. Recently, he had a lot of things to do, so he just took some time off from his busy schedule. He continued to sit at home for a while and then hurriedly returned to the city hall.
The staff on duty were still busy. Even though they had eaten high-grade meat powder for breakfast and had a sickly excitement on their faces, they could not hide their fatigue. Luo Yuan nodded along the way and soon walked to the office and the secretariat outside the office. Someone has been waiting for the report.
"mayor!"
"Good morning, mayor!"
…
Luo Yuan nodded slightly in greeting, then turned to secretary Cheng Guanghui and said, "Let them come in!"
"Okay, mayor!" Cheng Guanghui said quickly and respectfully.
Luo Yuan quickly walked into his office. The first person to enter was the deputy mayor Tian Jinping. After Bi Jianping left, the deputy mayor in charge of industry had temporarily become the second leader of Hope City.
His image is not very good. He has dark skin, thin body, and is a bit short. Compared with him, he only reaches his chest. However, Luo Yuan has a good impression of him. In the past two days, he has been running around every day, almost without a moment. Pause, in the limited time, completely overfulfilled the task, no one else would be able to do better than him.
"Mayor, I would like to report to you the work situation. The current cold protection work has achieved good results. As of now, the number of electric blankets has reached 1.5 million, 35,000 heating lamps, and steam pipes have been installed at 5 a.m. Click here to start..."
Looking at his hoarse and almost speechless voice, Luo Yuan felt that he had gone too far. He nodded and said: "Just leave the file here. I will read it myself. You can explain the work later. You can go Take a rest and come back to work in the evening.”
"Mayor, you haven't even rested, how can I rest!" Tian Jinping said a little flattered.
"This is an order!" Luo Yuan said. He didn't have an explanation. His strong body was still energetic even if he hadn't slept for several months, but he gave the order directly.
Since taking this position, Luo Yuan has changed from his usual tact and acted as if he is distant and difficult to get close to. This is also his intention. The so-called one moment and the other, each of these people are bureaucrats who have been up and down for many years. With his If a newborn calf doesn't show its power, how can it control them
"Yes, mayor, by the way, I would like to ask for your instructions, what is the production quota for electric blankets?" As a senior executive of the municipal government, he has also received rumors that Hope City is likely to usher in a migration of people. After all, there are several surrounding cities. The city that has recovered the best is Hope City.
"It can be enough to supply six million people. Other cold-proof items are also produced according to this quota." Luo Yuan thought for a while and said.
"Ok, I see!"
After Tian Jinping left, the deputy mayor in charge of agriculture walked in again: "Mayor, this is the information you asked me to compile."
Without letting him sit down, Luo Yuan took it and quickly flipped through it. After a few seconds, he went through all the information: "Can vegetable production in agricultural areas only support the food of two million people?"
"Yes, Mayor, the previous cold winter has caused widespread death of some plants that are not cold-tolerant. Of course, this is only temporary. It is estimated that it will only take a month for the previous production to be restored!"
There is no shortage of food in Hope City. In addition to the production in the agricultural area, in order to resist possible crises after the end of the world, each city in the reconstruction area has a certain reserve. Even if the agricultural area fails to harvest, its own reserves are enough to supply food for several months. need.
Hope that what the market is short of is vegetables. Such materials are not easy to store. Except for dozens of tons of dehydrated vegetables for the army that are stranded in warehouses, there are no other reserves. These stocks have been carried to spaceships with the early migration of the population. , it can be said that the supply of vegetables in Hope City itself is already somewhat tight.
"One month is too long!" Luo Yuan muttered to himself, then flipped through the documents and said: "The standard of 500 grams per person here is a bit high. Now is the most difficult time, so it has been reduced to 300 grams per person. 100 grams, and at the same time, we will make every effort to expand production. I hope that in half a month, the agricultural area of Hope City will be able to provide food and vegetable supplies for six million people."
Three hundred grams of vegetables are enough to provide daily vitamin requirements. It does not affect health. At most, it will only lower the standard of living. However, given the current situation of mankind, it is lucky to be alive. How can we ask for so much? .
"In addition, strengthen food control and do a good job in publicity!"
Frightened by the powerful force, the current city government has become a one-man hall, and no one dares to defy his decision. The deputy mayor said directly and neatly: "Okay, mayor!"
The city government has long been familiar with this aspect of work. In fact, when the reconstruction area was first established, there were many obstacles, lack of materials, and a lot of waste waiting to be done. There was no commodity market at that time, and all materials, including needles and threads, were strictly controlled. . Especially at that time, industrialized agricultural areas had not yet been built, and the discovery of new crops by humans was far less diverse than today. If the living conditions were even worse than now, at least they could have enough to eat now.
After several people in a row finished reporting, the office quickly became quiet. He tapped his fingers on the desk gently, thinking secretly in his heart.
Now that everything is ready, the relocation work in the three cities near Hope City can be started.
Because Hope City has the nuclear fusion furnace he dismantled from the aircraft, and with the endless energy generated by this deep fusion, it can survive the cruel winter safely. However, the other three cities do not have such good conditions, and they are probably still in darkness today. , if left unchecked, widespread death will inevitably occur.
This matter will happen sooner rather than later, otherwise things will inevitably change.
Thinking of this, Luo Yuan picked up the phone and informed his secretary: "Call Li Feng, Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, to come to my place!"
The Hope City Guard Division has always been stationed on the ground. Unfortunately, all of them died when the disaster occurred, leaving not even a trace of residual strength. Now, the most powerful armed force in Hope City is the military police who usually maintain order.
There are as many as 20,000 military police. Although it seems to be a lot, the weapons are very impressive. Except for some light weapons, there is basically no heavy firepower. But the other three cities are probably the same.
This operation not only moved the population, but also meant the transfer of power.
With the destruction of Xinjing and the interruption of communications, these three cities have become de facto independent no matter how they express their opinions. No one knows what their senior officials think.
Politics has never been about being affectionate and polite. If one's ambition grows, it is also unpredictable. Luo Yuan must prepare for the worst.
Their resistance strength is naturally nothing to Luo Yuan. With his current strength, even heavy artillery bombardments can be unscathed.
However, no matter how powerful he is, he is only alone. It is easy to destroy, but difficult to maintain order. After all, this operation is not for destruction, but to rescue the few remaining fire species of mankind.
Therefore, it is naturally impossible to go through this operation alone. A large number of military police must be brought along. Once they find that the other party has a tendency to try to separate themselves and stand on their own, they will immediately take over by force.
Ten minutes later, Li Feng, secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, walked into Luo Yuan's office and quickly left with excitement.
…
In the evening, tens of thousands of military policemen drawn from various underground levels gathered together. They had already put on thick leather jackets that had been urgently produced, lined up neatly, and quickly left Hope City.
The post-apocalyptic military police are not peacetime police. Their training is no different from ordinary soldiers. Not only is he responsible for the order and security of the city, but he is also responsible for cleaning up the invasion of mutant creatures.
In times of crisis, they even have to go to the battlefield. From their marching ranks, it is difficult to tell the difference between them and soldiers.
The weather outside has become colder and colder. The water vapor exhaled from the mouth turns into ice crystals in the blink of an eye. The ground is completely invisible here. Wherever you can see it, it is covered by a thick layer of ice.
Luo Yuan stepped on it "lightly", and the ice suddenly shattered. With a crunching sound, countless cracks spread around like a spider web, and they stopped when they spread dozens of meters away. Come down.
Because of the extreme cold, this layer of ice is very hard and quite brittle. Once it breaks, a large area will be affected. Judging from the thickness of its fault, the ice here is already thirty centimeters thick.
In fact, the temperature here has become the same as the north and south poles, and it only takes time to form a terrifying ice cap with a thickness of two to three kilometers.
At this time, he suddenly looked into the distance. There was a huge smoke column rising into the sky, with a faint glow of fire in the smoke column.
At some point, a mountain peak rose up from the endless plain!
As the large particles of dust fall with gravity, the light here is slightly brighter compared to the past few days. It is no longer as dark as before, but there is still no sunlight at all. It just goes from being unable to see your fingers to reaching out. It can be seen that the level of five fingers is better than nothing.
It's just that such dim light, according to Luo Yuan's low-light vision, is no different from daytime. Even the dense dust in the air has no effect on four-dimensional vision.
This is undoubtedly a newly formed volcano. The peak looks slightly red, which is obviously caused by being covered by magma. Perhaps yesterday's big earthquake was caused by the volcano.
Fortunately, due to the headwind, and the volcano is still hundreds of kilometers away from here, the volcanic ash has not affected this place yet. Otherwise, I might not be able to travel today without wearing a gas mask.
"Mayor, what happened?" Li Feng, who personally led the team, asked curiously.
"It's nothing, it's just a volcano." Luo Yuan shook his head and continued to move forward.
Are there volcanoes near here? Li Feng, who stayed on the spot, was stunned for a moment. Suddenly a gust of cold wind came. He couldn't help but shiver and quickly followed. After a while, this huge spaceship docked near Hope City. , finally appeared in his sight.
…
For half an hour, the spacecraft slowly levitated, and plasma flames spurted out from the engine port, turning into a dazzling flame. The terrifying high temperature, and the residual temperature alone, instantly vaporized the ice and snow under it, and then it pushed the huge The figure slowly headed towards Tuanjie City.
