Rotting Land: Survive

Chapter 554 544: Li Guo's Ideas (Part 1)

"Xu Company Commander, wait a moment, I have something I want to discuss with you."

Wei turned slightly startled, as the voice from behind was not very familiar to him, and he instinctively turned around, blurting out, "Li Guo!? Do you have something to discuss?"

"Oh, it's like this!" Seeing Old Xu stop, Li Guo quickly took a few steps up and continued, "Didn't you mention last time that the base was focused on sustainable development? I was thinking we could do something about electricity."

Nodding affirmatively, Xu Renjie offered his immediate approval of Li Guo's idea, but...

"The base currently already has a generator supply, and for now, we're not planning to go out to get another one, so..."

Old Xu didn't want to discourage Li Guo's good intentions; after all, his motivation was also for the base's benefit.

However, as it stands, the base's power supply is already sufficient, and adding another generator doesn't really make much sense, plus it's a big fuel consumer.

So, in summary, Old Xu had no choice but to reject Li Guo's proposal.

Yet to Old Xu's surprise, Li Guo didn't give up; on the contrary, he showed an unusual determination: "No! Xu Company Commander, the solution I'm talking about isn't generator power, that's too outdated!"

"Oh?" At this, Xu Renjie, who was preparing to head back, suddenly became interested, his thick eyebrows raising: "Well, I'd like to hear what you have to say."

Li Guo appeared exceptionally steady, and he replied calmly, "That's right, generator power is indeed one of the more effective methods at this stage, but Xu Company Commander, you also mentioned that our villa needs sustainable development, and a generator is definitely not it!"

"Hmm!" Old Xu didn't have any objections to this, instinctively nodding his head.

"Because fuel is precious, relying on fuel to generate electricity, even if it can solve the power supply problem, is only a temporary measure, and in the long run, it's unsustainable. Moreover, I've looked at the household generator as well, relying on that thing can't support a simple 24-hour power supply, and in case of large appliances, or overload operation, it's likely to burn out. This is absolutely bad news for us, who are in the development stage."

This problem had always troubled Old Xu because whether constructing or remodeling things, tools were needed.

And to power these tools, electric support was necessary.

But every time these things were used, they had to go through recharging or time limits, for fear of overloading and burning out the generator, which indeed brought considerable inconvenience to the construction of the base.

However, what Old Xu wanted to hear was apparently not theoretical analysis; being pragmatic, he needed a feasible solution.

Thus he went straight to the point and asked, "So what is your solution?"

"Solar energy, my solution is to create a solar power device and use solar energy for electricity."

"Solar energy?" Xu Renjie responded skeptically.

"Yes, solar energy, as long as my solution succeeds, the base will completely solve the power issue, plus it's low carbon, environmentally friendly, no concern for overload, and can provide continuous 24-hour electricity unless the earth loses sunlight. Otherwise, there's no need to worry about power outages."

Li Guo spoke passionately, but Old Xu listened with an unusual calmness.

Once the other party was done speaking, a smile even appeared on Old Xu's face.

But this smile was very intriguing, accurately speaking, it seemed somewhat playful.

Why? Because Old Xu didn't believe Li Guo could accomplish this.

Yes, what he said was excellent, and solar power could indeed achieve what he described so wonderfully.

But many things are easier said than done, and Old Xu had seen too many talkers who fumbled when it came to doing.

These kinds of people mostly were young newcomers.

So, for Old Xu personally, he really disliked those who only talked on paper.

"Alright! I get your idea, do this, go back and quickly draft a specific proposal plan, list all the detailed implementation steps and the materials needed, and once you're done, we'll have a meeting to discuss it, any problem?"

Li Guo froze for a few seconds, clearly not expecting this requirement from Old Xu.

However, as a professional, drafting an operational plan was as simple as pie for Li Guo.

Immediately, he loudly responded, "Okay! Xu Company Commander, I'll draft a proposal as soon as possible! So, since it's getting late, I won't disturb your rest; good night!"

"Good night!" Watching Li Guo's departing figure, Old Xu shook his head.

Young people these days are too restless!

Having pondered this, Old Xu continued heading to his room.

Another night passed without words, and soon it was dawn again.

Old Xu got up early; to be precise, he hardly slept last night, always busy drafting various regulations for the base.

After all, with the world changing so quickly nowadays, the types of infections evolving from the zombie virus keep emerging, and various malicious forces are always lurking about, coveting the survivors' supplies.

Therefore, to ensure the life and property safety of the entire team, Old Xu had to race against time.

However, upon waking today, Old Xu felt a bit unwell, constantly scratching here and there, the sensation as if countless ants were crawling all over him, making him itch and uncomfortable.

Helplessly, Old Xu could only knock on Zhang Zhicai's door.

"Company Commander!" As soon as Zhang Zhicai opened the door and saw Xu Renjie's figure, he hurriedly invited him in.

Old Xu entered the room and found that the other party was preparing medication for He Jing, which immediately made him forget the original reason for his visit and instead asked, "Little Zhang, how's He Jing's mood lately, has it stabilized a bit?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhicai frowned and shook his head, then lightly sighed, "Company Commander, to be honest, when I came back and asked Wei Yang about it, overall, He Jing was okay while we were away, but possibly affected by the recent rainy weather, she's become restless again."

"I see!" Xu Renjie stood troubled on the spot: "Is there any way to help?"

"This can only rely on He Jing herself, what we can do is only provide some medication and psychological support treatment, but this time we've managed to get some neurological nutrition drugs outside, and I plan to prepare some drops for him to see the effect."

"Hmm, that's good!" Old Xu reached back to scratch his spine.

This action inevitably made Zhang Zhicai a bit curious, as he had noticed the company commander scratching since entering the room, and he promptly asked, "Company Commander, what's wrong with you? Is your body itching?"

Hearing this, Old Xu suddenly remembered his true purpose for visiting, and quickly revealed his intention.

Upon hearing it, Zhang Zhicai did not dare to delay and immediately put on gloves to attend to Old Xu.

Once the clothes were taken off and lifted, Zhang Zhicai glanced, and couldn't help but take a sharp breath! (To be continued.
