《Doomsday Pillars》010.The Main Base
Advertisement
Finally, here we are, this is where everything will count, the location where one of the pillars will drop is here. Alex already familiar with the surrounding terrain, as he spends many years fighting in this area during his past life. On his past life, he didn't come to this place until a few months after the doomsday pillars already drop. By then, the surrounding pillar was full of refugees, many of them come after being chased by hordes of undead and monsters. It was such a disaster, and the survivor has no real leader. There were many fighting and chaos among them self. Alex this time plan to build a better refuge for the survivor.
At the moment Alex and the group are standing in front of an open field, looking ahead, he could see tall green grass and weeds without end. Even though Bali is a tropical island and normally its shiny and hot, as this part of the island is in the highland and close to the mountain, the cloud is low and the air is quite breezy.
Its time to work, Alex bring the group to discuss his plan, as for the land acquisition, he left it to Benny, Alex doesn't necessarily have to purchase all the land, but only some of the plot that already needs to be built right away, its mainly be the central base. So after a few design and sketches also considering the current land condition, Alex comes up with his Grand design.
The central base will be placed strategically surrounded by natural terrain. The north side will be facing Mount Agung, the west side will be next to a small river called the Tukad River. The east side will be the area where the pillar will drop, so the east side will be somewhat protected by the pillar in the future. Therefore the south will be the main entry point, it's also the one closest to the main road leading to Bay city and other Bali area.

Alex starts sketching in front of the other. its been more than 15 years since he last practice architecture. He didn't expect his degree could be needed again, This time is to design a base that can save the world. Best use of a degree ever.
The central area would cover 100 hectares of land. it will be rectangular size. 4 km length and 2.5 km wide. The plan is to build a 2 layer fence around the compound. the Inner fence will be a 4 meter tall precast concrete wall. The outer wall will be a 2 meters high stone berm next to a 2 meter deep ditches.
For the buildings inside the compound, it will be the command hall, storage supply building, the lab, the training hall, hydroponic garden, and of course the sleeping area. Alex plans the main base to be able to fit for a minimum of 50.000 people. The more the survivor the better the outcome for the future. But It will not be enough time to build standard houses for the survivor, so the only viable solution is warehouse structures. it will be a prefabricated steel structure. each warehouse building with a size of 200 m x 20 m could fit for 500 people. The plan is to build 100 of such building, not included the bigger sizes for supplies, for the hall and the hydroponic garden. For this Alex plans to employ another batch of 2000 worker. This batch will be all experience steelworkers, Alex also plans to set up a mini steel factory onsite.
Just to be sure he got all the preparation covered, and also to let the team contribute on the detail, he brought up the design to the group and asking their input and opinion.
"So what do you guys think? anything else we should add?"

The group seems to look at each other, confuse. then Tony the construction manager said "Actually boss, if you want us to involve in the design, it will be better if you tell us a little bit about the purpose of the design"
"For example, who will use it and what for.. .. I am really sorry boss, at the moment we really are lost about what are you trying to make here"
.
.
.
awkward silence
.
.
Alex slowly said, "Actually we are preparing a doomsday shelter.."
.
.
.
more awkward silence
.
.
Alex suddenly wishes his past life and reincarnation would make him more intelligent and smarter to answer a question such as this...
.
suddenly he thinks of something...
.
.
"Tony, how long have you follow me?"
"9 years boss"
"What have we been building the past 9 years?"
"houses, apartment, shopping area. almost everything boss"
"who are we building it for?"
"for our client boss"
"exactly, its the same thing, our client pay us a lot of money to build a doomsday shelter such as this"
"you understand?"
Alex believes this group doesn't know that the money comes from his own pocket
.
.
One of the managers said.. oh yes boss I saw it on youtube this doomsday shelter currently very popular in the western. although never as big as this one"
.
.
Then more people added.. "if so, we should add an underground tunnel for safety and an outside post.. " some people actually believe it, he guess the other just go along with it.
.
.
The ideas just keep flowing. some idea actually quite usable. Alex thinks the life before doomsday really is peaceful, people have too much extra time for TV and fantasy novel.
Alex then let Tony lead the construction, some materials already been ordered before, he just needs to add according to the new design. Alex actually let him buy some more extra, just to keep for future supplies. Alex asks Tony to coordinate with Nina about the funds and the other supply delivery.
All the design are done, it will take days to see some progress, Alex can't just sit around and wait here, he got many other things to do. The next plan cant be completed just by money, it will be dangerous, so to succeed, at first he needs to get one of the artifacts from the temple ruins to help him. Alex then leaves by himself, using the car with the gear and equipment that he already prepares.
