Wasteland Border Inspector - Chapter 739

Chapter 739: Chapter 246: Unexpected Gains, the Inner City Construction Team!

If Happiness City could provide such meals to residents in the future, even if it takes more time to cook, the sense of happiness would surpass that of drinking nutrient paste.

Cheng Ye restrained himself to just two bowls of stews, then put down his chopsticks.

Su Xiu went to tidy up the dishes, while Lin Xu came over with a stack of documents and sat down on the sofa: “Inspector Cheng, Kang told me about your plan to repair the hydroelectric station in Dapo Town. These past few days, I’ve reviewed the relevant data and prepared a complete repair plan for you to look at.”

“Hmm?”

Cheng Ye was somewhat surprised and began to flip through the documents.

Wow, it really is professional.

This 22-page document feels like a complete construction manual, detailing everything clearly from material lists to the workflow. As long as the materials and workers are in place, it can be completed within ten days at most.

But before he could speak, Lin Xu handed over another thick stack of documents, at least a hundred pages: “Regarding the planning of Dapo Town, Kang also mentioned it. I had the team do a model simulation and basic architectural diagrams, please take a look at this too.”

Cheng Ye didn’t rush to flip through it, casually asked: “Uncle Lin, this shouldn’t be done just by you, right?”

“It was my team assisting, total of twelve people, colleagues from the Public Works Bureau, working overtime after work for a few days to compile this.” Lin Xu adjusted his glasses, his confidence was evident.

Cheng Ye nodded slightly, but his tone became even calmer: “Once we go out, it won’t be easy to return to the Inner City.”

“Inspector Cheng, I’m well aware of this.” Lin Xu immediately replied, “Kang’s mother doesn’t understand these things, but I know the outside situation. I thought if Dapo Town is built well, I could follow over and lend a hand.”

Cheng Ye immediately glanced at Wang Kang, who smiled and added: “Once Dapo Town is developed, I plan for my mom to move there, making it easier to take care of her. Upon hearing this, Uncle Lin also expressed the desire to join.”

Good thing he didn’t say “my dad”, Cheng Ye mused silently, not responding immediately but seriously reviewing the architectural plans, pondering deeply.

Does Lin Xu want to go out just because he heard about Dapo Town’s prospects?

Or does he understand the value of the privilege allowing the two Intern Inspectors to freely return to the Inner City?

As for the Immortal Objects, Cheng Ye didn’t believe such matters could be known by an Inner City architect.

When reviewing the documents, he paid great attention, particularly when encountering issues, he would deliberately ask questions.

Lin Xu’s expression shifted from initial calm sophistication to careful diligence, eventually getting fully immersed, even unbuttoning his shirt collar and using a sketch board and pen for illustration while explaining.

The team he led proposed a construction design similar to Happiness City.

Utilizing Dapo Town’s geographical advantages, concentrating important facilities in the watershed area, then isolating it with walls and surroundings to create a Safe Zone akin to the Inner City.

This way, people living inside would be “protected” by the outside residents.

“This concept is good, but something needs adjusting.”

Cheng Ye put down the blueprint and affirmed, “I don’t want a vertically shrinking Safe Zone, but rather to expand it comprehensively, scale up the entire Dapo Town!”

“Scale…” Lin Xu bit his lip, quickly calculating, “If we expand the construction, the required materials, equipment, and manpower would need to multiply, increasing costs significantly.”

“Budget is not a problem, money is ample at my disposal.”

Cheng Ye rarely smiled, taking the pen from Lin Xu’s hand and drawing a large circle on the plan.

Centering on the existing Dapo Town, he encompassed an area of four kilometers in radius, a total area of 50 square kilometers.

Not only did this perfectly include that small hydroelectric station, but crucially, within this four-kilometer range, it also incorporated the Yellow River’s coastal areas!

“Build according to this scope, Dapo Town’s central goal is singular—I want to have White Water River and Yellow River firmly under my control and supervision!”

Cheng Ye tapped the two river locations on the map with his fingers, his gaze particularly resolute.

“In the future, no one, not even the City Lord of neighboring Shelter City, can cross these two rivers without my prior permission!”
