Apocalyptic natural disaster, stock up with billions of supplies to survive

Gu Yuanping would come to accompany him every New Year. If two old men sat together, what else could they do except drinking and bragging?

But both of them have heavy responsibilities. They can drink a little wine, but not too much.

So after drinking, Gu Yuanping always dragged him to play chess.

It doesn't matter if it's chess. Gu Yuanping is a great chess player and Ke Qin is no match for him.

The most important thing is that he knows that Kozin will not play this game, and he never lets him play a single move.

Every time he was killed without leaving a single piece of armor!

Ke Qin seriously suspected that Gu Yuanping had no one willing to play chess with him, so he had been accumulating chess skills for a year and just played all at once during the few days during the New Year when he had more leisure time.

"With my chess skills, I can play chess with a rookie like you for so many years without looking down on you. Just be happy about it."

"Look at yourself. Your chess skills have improved a lot over the years. I almost died in your hands in that game just now."

When Gu Yuanping saw the move made by Ke Qin, a smile flashed in his eyes. His chess skills had finally improved over the years. He knew that he was setting a trap for him.

"Come on, are you treating me like a kid? You say that every year."

Ke Qin knew very well that Gu Yuanping had good intentions, but after so many years, he was still worried that he would become suicidal again.

After all, during the happy Spring Festival for the whole family, he will definitely think of his deceased family members.

"It won't get any lower."

After losing another game, Keqin simply put away the chess pieces.

"If we don't want to play chess, let's talk business."

Gu Yuanping helped put away the chess pieces and said with a smile.

"Can't you just let me breathe?"

Kozin wanted to say, I haven't wanted to die for a long time, you don't have to do this.

But he didn't say it in the end.

"The base is about to run out of salt. How do you think we can solve this problem?"

During this period of time, this question has been bothering Gu Yuanping and a few other people who know the situation.

Jiangcheng is close to the sea, so there should be no shortage of salt.

But what most people don’t know is that since the nuclear waste water and extremely hot ancient viruses entered the sea after the tsunami, the sea has become a deadly place.

During the poisonous fog period, nuclear waste water had not yet spread to China, so the seafood at that time was still edible and salt could still be produced.

But after the extreme heat, a large number of glaciers melted. Although the water was slowly evaporated by the high temperature of more than 70 degrees, the ancient viruses would not evaporate with it.

Therefore, even if there is a water shortage during extremely hot weather, officials will try their best not to use sea water.

When he first arrived in Jiangcheng, Keqin went to the beach to fetch sea water and brought it back to the research institute for testing and research.

Then a large amount of radioactive substances and ancient viruses were found in the sea water.

If you drink it directly, there is a 90% chance that it will kill you. Even seafood from the sea has the same effect.

After everyone has moved here, the rebuilt area should be as far away from the sea as possible.

There were also many soldiers guarding the beach to prevent people from getting close to the beach to get water.

Ordinary seawater can still be drunk after distillation or repeated filtration.

Seawater that is contaminated by nuclear weapons or contains ancient viruses is absolutely not drinkable.

Therefore, when the official side takes seawater, it is only in small quantities, and it has to go through dozens of processes before it can be turned into drinkable water.

The cost is too high and the amount of clean water produced every day is very limited. This is the main reason why even after moving to Jiangcheng near the sea, there is still such a shortage of water.

There is no seawater to produce salt, but mineral salt and lake salt can still be obtained. However, over the years, the salt mines that were found before can no longer produce salt, let alone lake salt.

In fact, no new salt has been stored at the base for several months.

All the items we usually use are from previous stock.

But with so many people, how long can the stock last?

Once the salt in the mall and warehouse is sold out, I'm afraid the entire base will be doomed.

The food problem has been solved, but now we have to face the situation of salt shortage.

Sometimes Gu Yuanping really wanted to give up the business, but seeing how everyone was trying hard to survive, he still managed to hold on time and time again.

He had already sent the salt issue to Kyoto, but there had been no response.

Some time ago, Keqin also took his people away from Penglai Base, wanting to go to other places to see if he could find a solution to the salt problem.

"If you ask me, you shouldn't shoulder this responsibility by yourself. Three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang."

"Are there not enough middlemen in Penglai Base? We have been observing those few for a long time. I wonder if there are still some that can be used."

Kozin drank a cup of tea before speaking out his thoughts.

"You want to buy salt from these middlemen?"

It’s not that Gu Yuanping had not thought about this method, but this is actually not a method at all and it cannot solve the problem fundamentally.

Although some of these middlemen in the base are quite capable, Gu Yuanping doesn't think they can get much.

“That’s one way to do it, but it’s not what I want to say.”

"Most of the middlemen in the base can't go far. Even if they can get salt, the quantity is not much."

"I want to cooperate with those who can leave Jiangcheng, and ask them to find out how to solve the salt problem in other places when they go out."

"I always feel that someone out there must have solved it, but I'm just unlucky. I haven't encountered it after going out several times."

Keqin has left Jiangcheng several times and visited several bases, whether it was a secret visit or a direct contact with other bases.

No solution has been found to the salt problem.

"Then I'll leave this matter to you."

Gu Yuanping laughed loudly and stood up from his chair. "I'll go back first. Your sister-in-law must be waiting anxiously."

"I already knew you were planning this. I have no problem with the others, but go talk to Xiao Han and Xiao Lu yourself. You are familiar with them!"

Ke Qin had already secretly investigated how many middlemen there were in Penglai Base.

He also knew clearly which ones were truly capable and which ones were just messing around with the things in the base.
