Chapter 177 Lighting Engineering
After the thugs were dealt with, the familiar electronic voice soon rang out again from the base's loudspeakers.
"Attention all residents, the military at our base has completed the handling of the thugs incident. "
Please rest assured, there is no need to panic. However, please continue to keep your doors closed and protect yourselves for the next few days.
Our base is currently discussing how to get through the polar night situation we are all facing.
Please trust our base, and please cooperate actively in the work going forward.
We will be carrying out a lighting project at the base; simply put, this means installing more streetlights along the base's roads.
At this point, Bai Tang and his team felt reassured and went out to repair the damaged power lines.
Then they turned on their lights, and more and more households in the base turned on their lights.
With the base's guarantee, they no longer lived in fear.
After Bai Tang and his team repaired the electrical wires and returned home, Bai Tangsaid to Gu Yanxu:
Do you remember those experts we rescued?
Gu Yanxu said, "Of course I remember. I recall that their research focused on Artificial Suns."
Bai Tang then said, "Since this research exists, why didn't the base mention it?"
Gu Yanxu guessed: "Perhaps the research results are not yet fully developed, and they are thinking of releasing them after they have completed the research."
Anyway, things are much better now than before. Before, we couldn't even save Artificial Sun, let alone those experts.
There is now some hope for Artificial Sun.
We just need to wait quietly for good news from the base.
Bai Tang gave a soft "hmm".
Next, large-scale construction began at the base.
Although it's still polar night and darkness lasts 24 hours a day, the people in the base are still very united.
They were at the base when the installation team came to their doorstep to install streetlights.
Everyone spontaneously brought their own home lighting tools to illuminate the way for them.
With the strong support of the local people, the construction team made rapid progress.
When they arrived at Bai Tang's house, Bai Tangand his group were carrying powerful flashlights.
It directly illuminated a patch of ground in front of her house, probably brighter than the streetlights the construction workers were going to install.
The workers quickly installed the streetlights according to the site plan.
Then they nodded to Bai Tang and his group to express their gratitude.
After putting away their flashlights, Bai Tangand the others returned home. Grandpa Gu said:
"Now we have streetlights in front of our house."
There were no streetlights in front of their house; the streetlights were located a little further away.
Because the original facilities at the base didn't have that many streetlights.
Therefore, the street lighting facilities along the roadside were redesigned at the base.
They tried their best to place a street lamp every three meters to illuminate every dark spot in the base.
In the third week since the arrival of polar night, the riots at Shengshi Base have been quelled, and the lighting project is gradually underway.
Everything is moving in a positive direction.
Other major Authorities bases may not be ableto process information as quickly as Shengshi Base.
Because the power distribution among the various The Authorities bases is very dispersed, the real power holders of the bases do not have real power.
Therefore, it is very difficult to suppress riots at their bases.
Other bases were powerless to help with these matters because the major bases were far apart, so they had to find their own solutions.
However, although their various bases cannot provide any practical assistance, they can still make contact via satellite phone.
The various bases quickly learned about the Shengshi Base's handling methods and measures.
They all followed suit, learning from and referencing Shengshi Base's methods.
We're all one family, so Shengshi Base naturally didn't hide anything.
They taught the various Authorities bases some of their methods and approaches to handling riots.
They quickly handled the various thorny issues at their base in accordance with the law.
The situation at the bases within China had stabilized somewhat, but a significant number of people still died in the early stages of Polar Night.
But there's nothing anyone can do, because natural disasters are irresistible.
They can only try to survive; for some, just surviving is exhausting enough.
By the end of the first month of polar night, the street lighting project at Shengshi Base was already in good condition.
Even in the darkness, people dared to go out without worry.
Under the streetlights and with the Patrol Teampatrolling, people no longer need to worry aboutthugs suddenly rushing in to rob them.
They can also leave their homes with peace of mind to go to work or shop.
Bai Tang and his family finally stepped out of their home and went outside.
Bai Tang said, "Let's go check out Base Supermarket."
"I've been staying home for so long, I should go buy some things."
Grandpa Gu and the others came out as well, and Gu Yanxu turned around and locked the gate.
The whole family walked under the streetlights, looking just like a gang.
However, that's how everyone walks, either as a family or several families from the surrounding neighborhood.
Everyone is doing this just in case.
Mu Mu walked beside Bai Tang with Canned Food, while Lin Feng, Lin Fan, and Lin Zhouwalked ahead.
Bai Jiyang, Gu Yanxu, and Father Gu walked at the very back, while Bai Tang, Mu Mu, Grandpa Gu, and Mother Gu walked in the middle.
This way, in case of any special circumstances, they can protect the elderly and children in a timely manner.
Although Mu Mu may not need their protection, she looks like a small child.
Therefore, the appropriate benefits should still be provided.
With the illumination of streetlights, the base is no longer a dark and gloomy place.
These streetlights are on almost 24 hours a day, and the staff members at the base take turns controlling the lights.
Because there are two streetlights installed on one lamppost, and they are turned on in turn so that the other one can rest.
Otherwise, these streetlights are prone to burning out, and streetlights also need a reasonable operating time.
Bai Tang and his companions walked along, looking at the streetlights outside, and felt that the pale white streetlights were warm to the eye.
Soon they arrived at Base Supermarket.
There was a long queue at the entrance; everyone must have come to buy supplies.
Therefore, all supermarkets in the base are now open 24 hours a day.
Because they are unsure when residents will come to buy things.
So they work in shifts around the clock to open the door.
Bai Tang and the others obediently walked to the back of the line and joined the queue.
They didn't buy much, just some daily necessities.
I just wanted to go out for a walk and see what the streetlights and facilities were like; buying things was just a side thing.
Gu Yanxu said, "We just buy a little bit of what they buy."
Bai Tang said from the front, "I know, and I'm worried that with so many people queuing up, I don't know if the base can supply them."
The older woman in front of her turned to Bai Tang and said:
"Don't worry, little sister, our base is recognized as the best among all the bases in the country."
