May 6th.
Sunny.
The second day since the major expansion of the base began.
The entire workforce of the base was mobilized, significantly increasing efficiency.
In just these two days, the forested area in the East of the base has been cleared, leaving only about a dozen trees.
This eastern forest area is on a small hill, and had a deep well before the apocalypse.
Now, the total area of the base is 180 mu, with 150 mu for the Inner City and 30 mu for the Outer City. The new Outer City under construction is planned to cover 50 mu.
This second Outer City is mainly intended for cultivation and breeding, as the current total cultivation area of the first Outer City and the Inner City is less than 60 mu, which puts considerable pressure on accommodating the current population.
In the past two days, besides clearing the forest, He Chao and others have gathered a lot of sand and gravel from the riverbank, and scavenged steel reinforcements from the surrounding cities once again.
