Chapter 51: Chapter 50: Isekai Infrastructure from Zero (Part 1)
Just as the refugees were discussing today’s events in small groups,
Engineer Ye Jinyan of Modu’s Second Construction and Lin Li quietly appeared at the construction site entrance.
At this moment, Ye Jinyan was holding a blueprint and said to Lin Li, who was wearing a yellow hard hat:
"Captain Lin, the workers’ dormitories have all been prepared.
The dormitories use a lightweight steel frame composite steel panel structure, similar to the simple facilities often seen at disaster relief sites.
The dormitory specs are for six-person rooms with bunk beds, and shared bathroom facilities.
Currently, most of the workers on the site come from the Damo Realm, with a total of 47 local skilled workers.
Considering our site’s water supply still relies on transport from Modu, each person’s daily water quota is limited, with bathhouse access requiring a ticket.
However, these are transitional measures.
Our water pump station, water plant, and diversion pipelines have all been prepped, and relevant equipment will be transported directly from Modu’s strategic materials reserve base. It’s expected to be constructed shortly.
Power facilities are the same.
As you know, our reserves in this area have always been ample.
Also considering the impending Damo Realm’s night, we’ve prepared extensive night-time construction plans.
If all goes well.
In about three days, we can achieve self-sufficient water supply for five hundred people, and in about a week, handle the water consumption for the entire base, and in half a month, support industrial water use - These workers will be some of the warriors led by Captain Yan."
Lin Li listened quietly on the side, not at all surprised by the three-day estimate.
After all, the rabbits are well-known for their hoarding syndrome, with combat supplies fully stocked.
Always afraid of shortages when something happens.
Especially a strategic place like Modu, it would be odd not to find hydraulic equipment in the reserve warehouse.
In previous years, when Tianfu City’s warehouse changed supplies.
The last statistics list unbelievably contained over six hundred mahjong tables, can you believe it?
And they were automatic shuffling ones!
Then Lin Li asked Ye Jinyan:
"Engineer Ye, besides the workers’ dormitory area, how’s the planning for the main base area?"
Ye Jinyan adjusted his glasses, spread out the blueprint, and pointed to a southern area:
"According to the core plan,
we will develop a large base of 3,000 mu - that is 2 million square meters, approximately 2000x1000 meters, around here.
Without the need for garden, leisure, or other entertainment landscape areas, the building area will reach 1.7743 million square meters.
The entire foundation is expected to be completed within seven days, and construction efficiency after commencement will depend on the number of Chixian City refugees recruited in the next batch."
Lin Li nodded in satisfaction:
"Overall, it seems our progress is quite fast."
Not long ago, following the directives related to the scientific research project from Shi Zehong,
The prominent figures in the Imperial Capital conducted multiple detailed discussions, finally setting the overarching strategy for the second phase:
First farming, then something else... oh no, it should be focusing on scientific research as the core, driven by exploring the unknown, set with people’s livelihood as the tone, protected by green logistics, and slowly but effectively developing the surrounding areas to achieve harmony and stability within certain regions.
In short:
Civil matters first, military ready, but not moving first.
By civil matters first,
it not only refers to scientific tasks, but also the arrangements for the required environment for those tasks - namely infrastructure setup.
According to the plan, the second stage of the infrastructure tasks will expand based on the Fire Camp.
Expand a large, complete Life Experiment Base on the flat area above the valley.
In the long, long period that follows.
The Life Experiment Base will become the forefront base for Damo Realm related research.
The entire base will establish thirteen national-level laboratories, fifty-five academy-level key laboratories, four national engineering centers, and six analysis and testing centers.
In addition, five supercomputers capable of performing billions of calculations per second.
Of course.
This refers to the base’s scale upon successful completion.
Due to time constraints.
Although the rabbits planned for many laboratories,
about only one-third can be built and are usable in the first phase.
As for the researchers needed for the base...
Currently, the entire Fire Camp has over three hundred researchers, and six academicians, all arriving in batches gradually.
After the first phase mission of the base is completed.
The rabbits plan to send an additional 2000-3000 researchers to the Damo Realm, with an initial count of 20 academicians.
This number isn’t much and doesn’t pose any risk of personnel transfer leaks.
For example.
The Chinese Academy of Sciences’ R&D and Experimental Service Base established on March 28, 2003, alone has fifty thousand researchers and over 170 academicians.
These are all researchers capable of accessing confidential projects, who signed voluntary application forms before employment.
During some key mission periods, it’s very common for the whole person to disappear for one or two years.
In places like Modu, nearly fifty thousand people apply to research institutes every year.
Of which research-related positions make up about 31.7%.
Year after year accumulated.
The total research-side graduate population in Modu even surpassed three hundred thousand.
Not to mention the many provinces and municipalities directly under the government across the country.
Generally, one to two large experimental bases are set up in a province, and there’s a provincial research institute for every three prefecture-level cities on average.
Generally speaking, the official researcher count in each province is about one to two thousand.
In addition, there are those with factory numbering 40x, where there are countless mighty talents in various senses.
As a superpower with a population of over a billion,
if there aren’t seven figures of official researchers, then how could they play Earth OL? (Note: In 2011, the official researchers in China with PhD degrees numbered 252,000, and those with Master’s degrees numbered 566,000, with an annual increase rate of 13.5%. By 2020, the total surpassed two million, excluding private companies. For references, see pages 22-24 of the "National Innovation Blue Book" published by Tsinghua University’s Technology Innovation Research Center. To search precisely, use the keywords ’National Innovation Blue Book’ researchers’ on Baidu. No other reason, got wary of scrutiny.)
When the rabbits started the Celestial Palace NO.01, over four thousand people quietly disappeared for several years.
One particularly amusing incident is...
Our external announcement time was September 28, 2008, while on September 21st, other countries still thought we might only announce plans for space rendezvous and docking technology in 2012.
This is a declassified archive released on a W-head website in 2018.
So.
It’s really not a big issue for the rabbits to silently ’disappear’ a few thousand researchers.
As for confidentiality between personnel, it’s even simpler.
These researchers going to the Damo Realm can’t return to the homeland within a year, at most have some call time once a week or month to contact their families using the equipment provided by the rabbits outside the light gate.
Again, the rabbits’ various bases are just too massive, so keeping something confidential short-term isn’t difficult.
Of course, long-term is another matter.
Returning focus to the Damo Realm.
Once the first phase of construction tasks is completed, the rabbits will officially launch a new round of scientific research plans.
According to Shi Zehong’s prior relay,
The core will focus on Spiritual Energy, divided into four important projects: cultivation, Spirit Pill, Array, and Spirit Medicine.
Besides,
In this phase, the rabbits will officially commence observations of the Damo Realm starry sky to determine whether it’s truly a trinary star system.
All the scientific research and infrastructure plans above belong to ’Civil’,[brackets][brackets] with the overall sequence code named....
DAWN!

Note:
It’s been a long time since I wrote a note here, even when I was notified about May Day shelving before, but today’s matter is quite important.
A few days ago, a book next door that was ranked in the top three encountered a line-crossing issue. Content posted at one in the afternoon, and by two, the book was gone.
You can either see this as a bug or ignore it.
There are two updates today, the next one at two.
