Apocalypse: I Built a Supreme Shelter One Year in Advance

"The main task is to reinforce the shelter, and the time-limited side task is to partition the functions of the shelter...

Actually, these two tasks are essentially one and can be done together."

Xu Zhengyang said, then lowered his head in thought.

After a moment.

Xu Zhengyang finally made up his mind, took out his phone, and dialed a number:

"Is this Manager Wang from the Agricultural Bank? This is Xiao Xu."

...

"I recently met a benefactor and took on a big project.

However, this project requires some upfront capital. How much can I borrow if I mortgage my apartment in the second ring road?"

...

"It's quite urgent. How about I come to see you right now?"

...

"Okay, okay, see you soon!"

After hanging up the phone, Xu Zhengyang immediately called another person named Chen Yong: "Uncle Chen, I recently met a benefactor and took on a big project. Does your work crew have any jobs available?"

...

"As long as the quality of the work is good, I'll pay you cash on the spot, not a penny will be delayed!"

...

"With the decades of friendship between you and my dad, I wouldn't dare to deceive you!"

...

"Alright, I'll transfer you twenty thousand yuan as a deposit.

If you have time, come over to my factory later, we can check the place and sign a contract."

...

After hanging up the phone and transferring twenty thousand yuan to Chen Yong, Xu Zhengyang first hid his engineering robot, then rode his electric scooter towards the Agricultural Bank in the northern suburbs of Baicheng.

The apocalypse is coming.

What use is the apartment in the second ring road that his parents worked so hard to leave him?

Xu Zhengyang needs to quickly cash in on that apartment while it still has some value, and then use that money to strengthen his own power!

*Baicheng Northern Suburb Agricultural Bank, VIP Room.

Normally.

The process for a mortgage loan is lengthy, and even at the fastest, it takes about ten working days.

But this year is different from previous years.

This year, the economy is in overall decline, and the environment is extremely difficult. People are more willing to save their money for emergencies; who dares to spend recklessly? Because of this.

Manager Wang of the Agricultural Bank, under pressure to meet performance targets, confirmed that Xu Zhengyang's credit and the ownership of his apartment were both fine, and then gave Xu Zhengyang the green light!

In just two hours.

One million eight hundred thousand yuan was promptly transferred to Xu Zhengyang's bank card! At the entrance of the Northern Suburb Agricultural Bank.

Manager Wang, smiling broadly, shook hands with Xu Zhengyang and said, "Mr. Xu, you are truly accomplished at a young age.

When I was your age, I was still timid, unable to even speak a coherent sentence. You're already handling such a big project; your future is limitless!"

"Flattery, flattery."

Xu Zhengyang quickly declined, then said, "I have some matters to attend to, since everything is settled here, I'll take my leave."

"Mm-hmm, Mr. Xu, take care!"

As Manager Wang waved goodbye to Xu Zhengyang, he gestured for a teller to bring over a gift box and hand it to Xu Zhengyang, "This is a gift specially customized for VIP clients. It's not very valuable, so please don't decline, Mr. Xu.

If you encounter any funding gaps later, feel free to contact me; everything can be discussed."

Xu Zhengyang casually accepted the gift box and bid farewell to Manager Wang, "Thank you, I'll take my leave now."

*After obtaining the loan, Xu Zhengyang hadn't even returned to the lumber factory when his phone rang continuously four or five times, all from Chen Yong urging him to hurry back to the factory.

Upon returning to the northern suburb lumber factory.

Xu Zhengyang was still two or three hundred meters from the gate when Chen Yong excitedly waved and called out, "Azheng, I'm here, hurry up!"

When Xu Zhengyang reached the entrance of the lumber factory.

He noticed that there were cigarette butts scattered all around Chen Yong's pickup truck, indicating that he had been waiting there for quite a while.

So Xu Zhengyang couldn't help but laugh and say, "It's just a small job, Uncle Chen, you don't need to take it so seriously."

Chen Yong handed Xu Zhengyang a cigarette and said, "What's the difference between big jobs and small jobs now? There are only good jobs and bad jobs! This is a good job that pays cash; if I don't grab it quickly, someone else might take it, and then I'll have nowhere to cry!"

Xu Zhengyang took the cigarette and tucked it behind his ear, opened the factory gate, and invited Chen Yong inside, getting straight to the point, "Uncle Chen, you and my dad have been friends for a long time, so I won't hide it from you.

The boss I know isn't short on money, but he has a bit of a flaw, which is that he's a bit...

Worrying for no reason."

As Xu Zhengyang spoke, he led Chen Yong to the entrance of the shelter, "The foundation has already been dug by someone else.

Now we need to use reinforced concrete to harden it, then partition a few functional areas in the underground basement and do some basic decoration.

Uncle Chen, how long do you think this will take?"

"Hard to say."

Chen Yong hesitated, "I need to go down and see how big your basement is, then you can tell me your requirements, and I can estimate."

"Then let's go down now."

Xu Zhengyang said, turning on the flashlight on his phone and leading the way toward the dark hole.

"Okay."

Chen Yong agreed, also turning on the flashlight on his phone and following Xu Zhengyang.

*Xu Zhengyang's engineering robot is very powerful, and digging the earth is effortless! Because of this.

When Xu Zhengyang was working, he simply did it all at once! He directly built his shelter twenty meters underground, and even the area was dug out to over three hundred square meters, far exceeding the task target!

As Chen Yong followed Xu Zhengyang toward the shelter, he looked at the smooth, even earthen walls of the passage and exclaimed, "Who did this work?

This is really beautifully done!"

Xu Zhengyang chuckled, "Uncle Chen, don't ask about this; I don't want to deceive you."

"I understand, I understand."

Chen Yong showed a knowing expression, winked at Xu Zhengyang, and said, "Those rich people are all like this."

"Mm."

Xu Zhengyang nodded, "When the time comes, make sure to tell the workers not to talk too much or take random photos while working."

"No problem, I won't just tell them not to take photos; I'll collect their phones while they're working!" Chen Yong patted his chest and assured Xu Zhengyang.

"Then I'll tell you my requirements."

Xu Zhengyang thought for a moment and stated his requirements, "According to the boss's instructions, the thickness of the shelter walls must not be less than 30 centimeters, and the entire structure must be poured with C120 concrete, with fine copper wires mixed in to prevent cracking; the internal rebar must be 20mm, with a spacing of less than 20, a load-bearing capacity of no less than 4d, and a net spacing of no less than 20;

Moreover.

Before placing the rebar, the chemical coating must be removed in advance, and the rebar must be welded with aluminum thermal agents.

Although the basement has been dug out, such a large space is very hollow and at risk of collapse at any time.

When you add load-bearing walls and columns, remember to wrap all load-bearing facilities with carbon fiber.

Finally.

The main door must be made of a solid frame, a one-piece titanium alloy door, with a minimum thickness of 30 centimeters, all to be benchmarked against a bank vault.

That's about it for the hard decoration. Uncle Chen, can you roughly estimate how much it will cost and how long it will take? If it's suitable, I'll have it done here."
