58. Changes in the Farm (1)
Over the next two weeks, it became clear that Hauscher's farm had changed dramatically. The first address is reversed to read ↘ the Kippie ↙ in the online article
The farm, which originally looked empty, has been surrounded by various types of cars, and the castle has been divided into several floors in order to ensure safety and take into account the number of people on the farm.
The core area is the cabin of Hachelle and the current camp of Rick, which is like a royal palace within the castle, temporarily serving as the core living area of this living area.
So a triangular car wall appeared around this core area, and at the same time, it also connected to the three wells on the side.
In this way, the most basic water source and accommodation problems can be guaranteed, and the walls of this area can be completed as quickly as possible, so as not to encounter the attack of the walking corpse when everyone builds this survival area.
With this core city wall area, even if a large tide of walking corpses comes, Zhu Linglu and Rick Holshell can live like an island, and they can get a safe area isolated from the walking corpses.
These cars, which were castle walls, were basically drained of their fuel tanks, punctured their tires, and stuck directly to the ground, without giving the walking corpse a chance to climb in under the chassis of the car.
Of course, taking into account the strong impetus that may arise when the walking corpse tide gathers together, the core car wall is at least the width of four small cars placed side by side, that is, the length of a bus, to meet the thickness of the city wall.
At the same time, five small cars or two or three shipping containers are stacked as the height of the city wall, so that unless three or four walking corpses are stacked on top of each other, they can climb to the top of the wall.
On the outer side of the city wall, there are also several rings of horse rejection piles that hinder the approach of the walking corpses, which can also prevent the walking corpses from approaching the near side of the car city wall, so as not to climb the car city wall like a stack of arhats.
When the car-building fence was built, everyone was amazed.
This is a wall at least five or six meters high and seven or eight meters wide, nearly two stories high, in addition to acting as a city wall, it can completely allow people to look out from this steel city wall and use it as an early warning platform.
Of course, in order to be far away, a lookout warning tower is also set up on this city wall as a special warning tower.
In the construction of the specific steel city wall, the height difference between the front and rear of different cars is also used to form a bolt-like effect, and different cars bite each other with the help of gravity.
Coupled with the welding of some iron bars and the mechanical extrusion, this steel wall will naturally not easily tilt and collapse, and can be as strong and tall as a real stone city wall.
Considering that this core area is mainly to meet the living needs of Rick and his family, the innermost layer of the city wall is mostly composed of buses and containers with large space for vehicles and boxes.
In this way, these bus containers can also be converted into habitable rooms, remove the seats in the bus, open a few windows for the containers, and add some living furniture such as beds, then it can be used as a single and double dormitory.
This would save Rick from living in a tent, and Zhu Linglu would no longer have to sleep in the seat of the pickup truck or in the back of the car.
After completing the walls of this core area, according to Dale Carol's predictions, after the renovation, at least fifty people could live in these dormitories.
At the same time, some container tankers can also be converted into warehouses to store materials, serve as grain depots, weapons depots and other important warehouses.
However, just for the construction of this core inner wall, about 300 cars of various types, more than 20 large buses and freight trucks, and 15 container containers were used.
It doesn't matter, through the search of various cars, Rick Dalell and other drama ** have also found enough cars to use in the highway towns around the farm.
In particular, the cars that were abandoned on the road were all sorts of things, and the biggest trouble for Rick and the others was just how to transport them.
After all, not all cars will have keys left in the car, but people are intelligent animals, so these problems can naturally be solved with wisdom, such as breaking the brakes of some cars, and then using ropes to pull some cars back to the farm.
Alternatively, you can use forklifts and the like to send abandoned and unstartable cars back to the farm in a truck.
And in this process, there were also a lot of surprises in those abandoned cars, and some of them were actually freight trucks loaded with food, medicine, and other materials, which inevitably made Rick Hoschel and others more confident in building a safe survival area.
Of course, on the core triangular steel wall that has been built, there are also some passages and portals for entry and exit, and under the discussion and design of everyone, it is naturally impossible to make an oolong incident with walls and no doors, and they lock themselves in.
Therefore, on the core triangular steel city wall, there are two passages that can be entered and exited, and these passages can usually be blocked by cars, and driving these cars out, it opens the door of the city wall, which is much more convenient than artificially building city gates and so on.
Of course, these vehicles that serve as the gateway to the city wall have also been specially selected, one is the RV that Rick and they originally rode in, and two searched cash trucks have also been prepared, with the thickness of these cash trucks comparable to armored vehicles, it is completely possible for people to hide in them and crash out directly when necessary.
And with the search of a large number of cars, now Zhu Linglu and Rick have also turned into two military Humvee Jeeps.
This is also a good car found during this time, especially the feeling of driving a military Humvee Jeep is fantastic, powerful, can be rammed, can be pulled, very practical.
After completing the inner city that is the core of this outline, Zhu Linglu and Rick and others began to encircle the outer city of the castle, mainly to encircle safe farming areas, breeding areas, etc., which can allow Rick and other survivors to be self-sufficient.
This is really like the architectural design of an ancient city, which expands step by step according to the inner and outer suburbs, layer by layer.
According to the design of Zhu Linglu and Rick, as long as this safe living area can be perfectly functioned, it is possible to open a factory and pour the real city wall with reinforced concrete in the later stage, so as to create a larger living area.
However, this is a big project, and Zhu Linglu can't imagine whether it can really be realized.
To be honest, now that Zhu Linglu has taken the initiative to guide Rick and them to make actions to change the plot, Zhu Linglu doesn't know what Rick's life experience will be like in the future, whether they will be forced to escape from prison in the end, or fight with the governor Brian.
Of course, after the completion of the steel wall of the core inner city, the construction of the outer city is a little rougher, after all, the manpower of the farm is limited now, if the construction method of the steel city wall of the inner city is followed, then I don't know when the outer safe farmland and pasture area will be enclosed.
Therefore, the next step in the construction of the outer city is to first use a few cars side by side as a city wall, add barricades and other things to increase the width of the city wall, and then slowly improve the city wall in these areas......
