Three days later, Airon had been aware of what was happening in Georgia and congratulated Sam for extraordinary work, he also learned that there was a relationship that had a lot of future with a girl from the base.
Therefore, considering everything that will happen in the future, he entrusted Sam with the task of taking very good care of everything if somehow something unforeseen should happen. Airon does not believe himself to be an immortal man, in fact he knows this world well enough to know that death can come to anyone in less than a second.
And to avoid problems, Airon had left some hereditary things for the next supreme leader of the organization he created.
The only one who was aware of this was Tyler, who was guarding the Black Candy which was the suitcase with a nuclear class bomb he had gotten in the early days.
After all that, Airon held an important meeting with architects and workers to carry out an internal reform in the central base.
In front of a large table, there was a drawing of a large ring-shaped building, which was a very beautiful and at the same time imposing structure. This drawing shows a building in the shape of a circle that looks very vulnerable but only those who will build it will know that the top floor and the lower floors are the most important, and the lower floors with windows on all sides gave it in turn a beautiful appearance.
This is a combination of a modern building that was slightly modified by the brightest minds at the base. Therefore, considering the needs in the last days, this building has all the advantages to survive almost any kind of situation.
The central base currently has three big walls, one bigger than the other and the space started to be used for many houses but now it would be given a complete overhaul.
For this reform the spaces of the main interior walls will be used. And what is expected to be achieved is to create four buildings of this type in the four different directions only using the space of the middle wall, and with the space of the inner wall to create the main structure that will connect through subway conductors to the four circular buildings of the outer wall.
Airon now no longer wants a powerful base, but to build a city from scratch strong enough to meet all the characteristics needed in this world. After seeing those new variants of infected, Airon had thought of this before and now that desire was proposed after what happened in Birmingham.
This structure is designed in the shape of a ring or circle so that it can defend against all possible anomalies. They have high and sturdy foundations, plus the crystals will be armored so that they can withstand all of the common walkers without any problems.
The functions inside that style of building are made to protect the people living in that place, which ordinary buildings cannot provide.
These four buildings could provide shelter for at least 40,000 people without any problem, and the special building that will be built in the inner wall will store the most dangerous, productive and destructive things on the base to maintain a security order.
As for the last wall, right now a plan is to use all that land to build crops, sheds and greenhouses so that the production will not be affected by the reform of the central base.
Arturo looked at the drawings and professional plans, all the details were written in different types of plans and the materials since days ago started to move from Georgia to the central base. This was more than enough to hear the opinion of Arturo, who until recently got the role of captain in the construction area thus getting a little more than a thousand workers who right now are working on the ground.
"This design is really very ingenious, not only does it provide accommodation for thousands of people, but it can also play a defensive role. But if anything is amazing it is the subway spider web that will connect the entire base making it one regardless of the walls."
Airon who had asked for very strict requirements from his subordinates explained, "Not only that, there are solar panels to take advantage of sunlight and the armored crystals are to not use so much energy illuminating its interior. These structures don't cover a lot of space but rather take advantage of it, because in the central area you can plant crops and dig a well. In this way, it basically turns that place into a very productive area. If something bad happens, with the crops from the four buildings and stored food it will be enough to preserve even if something bad happens outside."
Arturo nodded very frequently, looking very carefully at the plans, he could not hear the words of the other people as he was very immersed in the construction. He had worked on this type of construction but most of it was over a lake, and now what would increase the work would be digging underground and connecting the subway parts to the central structure.
"What's the rush on this, Arturo, Arturo?"
Seeing that this man was immersed in the plans in such a serious manner, Airon smiled not knowing how to react to this.
"Ah? Oh, sorry, it's easy for me to do this kind of construction but we would have some difficulties in the subway part, if we do it that deep it will indeed take a long time."
"Hehe, it's okay."
Airon indicated that he didn't mind this kind of thing, then pointed to a huge blueprint on the wall, "There are some details I need to tell you. Due to the amount of containers, our third wall can only be built like this for the time being, but in the future that wall will be much larger once everything inside is built. But those containers will not be wasted, once we plan to expand the base further they will be moved to the expansion point."
"Don't take importance to damage anything, in fact, I want the central base to be a perfect city to deal with any kind of disasters. Therefore, once we remove the greenhouses, barns and crops to the outside, we can start."
Aurthur if he was worried about anything it was the crops, which were extremely problematic.
Seeing the other party lost in thought, Airon patted him on the shoulder and said with a look of confidence, "I'll leave this to you captain, I think you can do a good job with the construction of this future city."
"Huh?"
Before Arturo , who was deep in concentration, could react, Airon hurriedly left the scene and walked quickly towards the third wall of the central base.
When Arturo raised his head again, Airon was nowhere to be seen, he scratched his head and could only find a place to sit down and continue thinking along with the other architects.
And Airon, who had successfully put the matter aside, did not rest at all. As soon as he reached the gigantic space of the third wall, he saw Hershel and Otis walking between the barns.
"Hershel!"
The grizzled old man seemed to have found his purpose in life at this point, looking at the animals in the shed he turned his head and smiled.
"Airon!"
Otis greeted him with a smile as well.
"How's the crop stage on the outside, are the crops and baby animals doing well?"
Looking at the cows and pigs surrounded by their young, Airon was truly happy for all that he had accomplished.
Herschel nodded happily and said, "It looks like you solved that problem that was bothering you one, but you should know that everyone is happy even if they live inside a barn. The world outside is nothing compared to what it's like here, never forget that."
"The walls of this base can give people the wrong idea, this had already happened in a story I read some time ago. The people on the inner wall were the nobles, and they controlled everything that happened outside. Those on the last outer wall were the first to die when the monsters attacked, and consequently they went inside the inner walls causing dissatisfaction to those people who lived there."
"You have a lot on your mind, you have worked hard enough to provide thousands of people with a life they would never have had if it wasn't for you. You demand too much of yourself, remember that the safety of us is not all your responsibility."
Airon had a long talk with Hershel and felt a little more at ease, no matter who you are, hearing that Hershel can ease the burden and redirect your path to the right one.
"I apologize for the long job I entrusted you with Hershel, I hope you have no problems. Tell me if you need anything, you can leave the work to the younger ones and always try to take care of your health."
"I know very well..." Hershel nodded with understanding.
"Well, the third base wall will be completed soon, and the next step is to transfer the barn area, crops and greenhouses to that area. I'll ask a large number of people to come and help you."
"That would be great..."
After bidding farewell to the two, Airon did not stay any longer, but ran into the inner courtyard.
The third wall made by containers was about to be completed and he was about to get to work. After the completion of the outer wall, the area of those zones must be worked on to build the world he wants.
There is one other thing he needs to look into, and that is the energy problem.
Although it will be a long time before the fuel fails, the lack of electricity is still a problem that must definitely be solved at the central base.
He currently has two big ideas that were worked on by brilliant minds at the base. The first idea is to build a large photovoltaic power generation system. The second is to find a pre-apocalyptic power company to see if there is any other way to get continuous, stable electricity. After all, using a generator during future weather is not an option.
Coincidentally, there is a branch of a large power company just a few dozen miles northeast of the prison, and there are also a large number of factories of this company northwest of downtown Atlanta that had already been taken over by the Georgia place.
But this problem apparently had no solution at the central base. So it was something he should work on from now on. With a creak, he opened the door to the general office, only to see a person sitting at his desk, who seemed to have been waiting here for a while.
"Rick!!! Why are you here?"
