Chapter 2 Renovating an Apartment Shelter
Fortunately, this luxury apartment was built in an era when glass curtain wall buildings were not yet popular.
Although it is unknown whether the main body of reinforced concrete has been designed with warmth, it is always more reassuring than glass.
Although there is no information and experience about the apartment itself, and how it can be converted into a shelter.
However, the ability brought by the builder's initial rank and his years of experience in the architectural design institute 007 on Earth helped Lu Yu open up his mind.
There is an important function in the system panel:
【Eye of the Builder】
After opening it, Lu Yu can quickly take a look at the architectural style and structural design of the apartment, and form a complete three-dimensional model of the apartment in his mind.
The weak points in the apartment structure, the convenient transformation structure, the degree and direction of air flow, the sunlight exposure, etc., all form data and marks.
With the models and data in his mind, Lu Yu can open up his imagination to plan the renovation of the apartment.
Although I can't remember the exact time in the movie, the news on TV and the bad weather outside all remind Lu Yu of the urgency of time.
The first thing now is to stockpile a large amount of building materials and daily necessities, and to find workers as much as possible to renovate the apartment before the flood comes.
The money offensive is out of date at any time.
The disaster came very suddenly, which was unexpected for most people.
This also allowed Lu Yu to collect supplies by scattering a lot of money.
After all, his identity is a successful lawyer living in New York.
Both money and connections are better than most people.
He opened the phone book and began to look for people one by one.
Building materials supplier Lao Mike, well, once helped him win a lawsuit with excessive defense.
When the phone was answered, Old Mike's thick voice rang out.
"Daniel, long time no see, you must have something to ask me, right? Tell me, you have helped me so much, I will do my best if you need it."
Lu Yu lit a cigar and said, "Old guy, I really need your help. I want a batch of building materials to renovate my apartment.
This matter is very urgent, I am willing to pay more than twice the market price and pay in cash.
If you have workers who are quick to install it, it would be better, and I will pay twice the wage."
"This... I didn't say it! Give me a list, I'll prepare it right away."
Hearing Lu Yu's request, Old Mike was stunned.
But he never can't afford to pay, and his experience in cooperation with Lu Yu also made him clear about the principles of cooperation with Lu Yu:
Don't ask what you shouldn't ask.
“I will pay all the fees directly in cash.
But I asked for all the materials to be enough and the work will start early tomorrow morning. Brother, I'm not kidding."
Logically speaking, there is still some time, but Lu Yu couldn't help it. The more he prepared before the flood came, the more he felt at ease.
Next he contacted a veteran who specialized in selling military food and ordered a large number of military reserve food.
In order to enrich the daily life during the disaster period, I found a friend who was engaged in the cultural industry and ordered a bunch of pastimes that are not suitable for both the elite and the masses.
After using his money and connections to order everything he could think of, Lu Yu fell asleep on the sofa.
The next morning, old Mike and his people arrived as promised.
Money is an excellent catalyst.
With his professional vision, Old Mike replaced some of the materials that Lu Yu thought of with more advanced and more convenient construction materials.
The workers he brought always smiled like a spring breeze, and their service attitude towards Lu Yu was definitely warmer than that of the call girl.
In order to be transparent, the apartment originally had tall and wide windows. While retaining the lighting and ventilation of three windows, other windows were sealed with laminated wood panels and steel bars.
The walls and ceilings are pasted with a new layer of foam insulation material. This material is light and warm and has good flame retardancy. It is said that it is also used in the construction of the Antarctic Science and Technology Research Station.
The dedicated ventilation ducts were scientifically and reasonably erected to the small boiler created by Old Mike to ensure future indoor smoke exhaust.
Rows of steel pipe frames were built, which not only facilitates the current renovation and construction, but also retained later, so that Lu Yu could do some renovations himself.
Lu Yu's rank is the builder, but it does not mean that he needs to do everything himself.
The best way to show Lu Yu's builder's ability by designing and directing Old Mike's team to transform his apartment and make it a refuge with complete opinions.
When the old Mike team renovated the apartment, the goods ordered by Lu Yu were also delivered one after another last night.
When the amount of food, pure water, charcoal, and thousands of gallons of gasoline were sent, Old Mike was a little uneasy.
"Daniel, I really can't help but wonder why you had to renovate the apartment on such a large scale and stockpile countless supplies?"
Old Mike scratched his head. Although he knew that Lu Yu was rich, he had never seen such a burn.
Lu Yu went to the refrigerator to get a bottle of beer for Old Mike: "Look at the recent news, those scientists said that if the earth continues like this, it will be over.
I've always been a doomsday lover, and it's all that exciting for me. I can't sleep if I don't transform my apartment into a doomsday shelter."
Doomsday lovers are indeed a well-known group, always insisting that the apocalypse will come in some form in the near future, for which they build their own doomsday shelter to deal with the crisis.
Old Mike suddenly realized that although he had never contacted such a person directly, as a building materials supplier, some friends in the circle had indeed told stories about helping doomsday enthusiasts repair bunkers.
Unexpectedly, the simple explanation dispelled other people's doubts.
Lu Yu suddenly felt that life seemed very relaxed...
The clothing and outdoor equipment used for the Antarctic scientific research were sent over, generators were sent over, comics, CDs, and game cassettes were also transported over boxes by box.
At night.
Even though Lu Yu took out a stack of banknotes, the bad weather still made these workers refuse his request to work overtime.
"Oh, the decaying and depraved guys."
Lu Yu complained, but heard the doorbell ringing.
Jack, who was wet, came to the door of the apartment with a trolley suitcase.
This old man, who has always been sophisticated and elegant, could be seen vaguely in the corner of his mouth and a bulge on his forehead.
"How long hasn't you seen each other? How did you make this look?"
Lu Yu took the trolley case and became curious.
Jack wanted to hang his wet windbreaker on the hanger, but saw the current status of the apartment that had become a construction site: "Hey, Daniel, what are you doing?"
