Future Home

March 2023.

This month he will build his future home in the pasture for the apocalypse, located in Enshi City, the southwest region of Hubei Province.

The pasture is very far from the urban area, and the surrounding only had very few inhabitants, there were just two villages that were slightly close from the pasture which managed the surrounding farmland near the pasture.

Initially, he wanted to build it in Hangzhou City. Because he knew well in that area and the city was surrounded by mountains, made it seem insolated. Furthermore, it has many military industries. Therefore, he can ransack some arsenal in there.

The surrounding area additionally has many important cities in there such as Shanghai, Nanjing, and Taizhou.

In his past life, initially, the government made many safety zones and major bases there to take over these important cities. However, their attempts continue failed as these cities have the most population in this country. Like Shanghai, has a total of 24 million. Make it only a dream to take over this the most flourishing city.

Afterward, all the major bases surrounding in there soon got literally abandoned. Many of their power such as military and resource get moved. Because the higher up losing the confidence for the future as many safety zones got swarmed by the zombie instead. The military placed there could not even hold long when a horde of zombies swarmed it.

The major bases then moved and focused on taking over the Tianjin City, which made many tolls even since the start of the plans. Beijing, the capital city, also gets abandoned. Although there are still many safety zones and bases in these important cities and still can hold long, it would not be worth mentioning once many zombies passed it in the future, like in his past life.

Although he has the confidence to set in there as long as he has completed his preparation. It still would be hard as the population in Hangzhou itself is huge despite the advantage of the land and has a high probability to clash with other bases. So he alternated his plans and chose the less crowded city after he had ransacked his memory and investigated some more suited places.

In the end, he chose the county-level city, Hubei. The city is built alongside the Qing River and is surrounded by forest-covered mountains, which have a total area 3,967 km2 and 780,000 of the total from the scattered population.

The city is home to a busy college and University and has many tourist places. The most important is agriculture in and around the city, which is strong with almost all available land being used to grow vegetables and some animal husbandry sector. There are two hospital campuses in urban areas, many supermarkets, and shops.

Chen Qiang has made calls to Kwk Promes and invited Roberth Konieczny and the firm to discuss the project. He also invited many architects.

On February 2023, he discusses with Robbeth and the rest to make a house like the 'safe house.'

'Safehouse' designed by Robbeth in 2009 is made to be the world's most secure home. The safe house is encapsulated in concrete walls.

The reason this private home is an architectural feat is that this house really has elegance and security. When every part of it moves: the concrete walls, inner walls, shutters, and 2,2 m high entrance gate closed the house, the house became a cube bunker that was unbreakable. When opened, it gives feels like an extravagant house full of glass that makes an impressive modern house, while the area around it was a meadow, there even has a pool inside.

This house is widely known as the first zombies proof-house in the world.

He wants a building like that, but he wants only the security and convenience, not elegance or style. He said he was really interesting to make the safe house like this and wanted to make 'house fortress' that solely defend.

He discussed a lot with them. They deal to make a big building like the 'safe house' but just solely for defense, the building will have twelve stories. Two floors above the ground and ten in the underground. It will also have a big tunnel connected to the outside, far from the pasture.

Chen Qiang did not just contact Kwk Promes and many architectures. He even contacts Ducon, the early developer of micro-reinforced ultra-high-performance concrete, and Cochrane, the world's leader in the high-security fence system, a widely-known company for its border defense and its product, the invisible wall.

Chen Qiang uses the most recent innovation of MR-UHPC for the building concrete and constructs the wall that surrounds the pasture. The wall will have 60 ft high (18 m) and 9 ft width (2.7 m) on the top.

Although he didn't know the latest innovation of MR-UHPC, he at least knows, the MR-UHPC is the next generation of UHPC. In addition to high compressive strength, durability and abrasion resistance from UHPC. Micro-reinforced UHPC is characterized by extreme ductility, energy absorption and resistance to chemicals, water, and temperature.

The continuous, multi-layered, three-dimensional micro-steel mesh exceeds the UHPC in durability, ductility, and strength. The performance of the discontinuous and scattered fibers in UHPC is relatively unpredictable. Micro-reinforced UHPC is used in blasts, ballistics and earthquake-resistant construction, structural and architectural overlays, and complex facades. So maybe the latest innovation can be more advanced.

As for why he contacted the fence company, Chen Qiang wants to plant the ClearVu Elevate fence in the surrounding house and especially the farm to be protected from inside and outside.

ClearVu Elevate is negotiable the world's most powerful tool resistance fence on earth. It is Hybrid Perimeter Barrier, has composite tubing and the highest defense test 7.

This is a mega project, not to mention the twelve-story building with strong concrete. The high wall's fence that surrounds the parameter and the elevate fence that covers the building and farm has a high cost. Even though the pasture is not too vast, it still has around 92 hectares. Furthermore, he will also build a facility like a generator and solar plant, hospital, water system, sewer system, warehouse, some simple house, garage, training ground, etc.
