Chapter 130, it depends on the call

Medicines are hard currency in the wasteland, and there are very few places with corresponding production capacity.

At present, Wei Xingcheng's Alliance No. 100 Pharmaceutical Factory has successfully put into operation.It is said that more than [-] kinds of medicines and medical supplies can be produced there.

However, at present, it is not necessary to put all the production processes of so many types of drugs into production.Some medicines, such as those for stomach problems, skin diseases, osteoporosis...

Of course, these things cannot be said to be useless, but at least they are not important at the moment.

Quick-acting hemostatic agents, antibiotics, pain-relieving and analgesic drugs, trauma medicines...these are much more important, and the demand in the wasteland is much greater.

As for arms...

The munitions to be sold are certainly not newly produced ones.

Gu Hang's local tyrants' brigade hasn't finished reorganizing yet, where is there any spare ordnance that can be sold to others?

However, it was precisely because he wanted to build a heavy synthetic brigade that many of the weapons and equipment left over from the previous Alliance Legion became goods that were stored in the warehouse.

Ossina is going to sell these things in batches.

But you can't sell blindly.

The sale of arms is a sensitive matter.

In her conception, apart from getting sufficient food supply for Fuxing City, this trade also has a very important point, which is to achieve reasonable political goals.

Ossina now attaches great importance to the stability of the Green Valley area.

This is not only because of her personal feelings, but also for the food security of Fuxing City.

The Qinggu area has always been an important trading partner of Fuxing City, and it is the thicker of the two grain arteries.There has been a long-term chaos there, and the impact on Fuxing City will also be great.

It is the best choice to choose a suitable trading partner, find the Green Valley Manor owners of the lawful camp, sell them the ammunition, and arm them.

Ossena hopes that the armed plantations can maintain the order of food production and continue to provide food for the revived city; they can resist and even fight back against the looting gangs that breed due to turmoil.It would be best if they could unite and put down the monster wave that has been raging in the Green Valley area for several months.

She is determined to do this matter by herself, with Bradford assisting and providing some contacts and channels.

It's just that the matter of arms sales is a bit beyond Ossina's authority.She is the head of the civil affairs, business, and production departments, but she has no decision-making power over ordnance.

She found Gu Hang.

I can't handle it, the big boss will do it.

After carefully listening to Ossina's report, Gu Hang approved her plan.

...

half a month later.

The food crisis in Fuxing City has been alleviated to a certain extent.

Bradford has shown what he can do.With regard to the restoration of grain imports, the first phase of the task was completed relatively smoothly. Once the 'capillaries' resumed their blood supply, the various food producing areas around Fuxing City resumed their food trade and transportation.

In half a month, a total of [-] tons of grain were imported.

The continuous stream of wild bull convoys and automobile convoys can be seen more frequently outside Fuxing City.

Of course, this is the reason why many grains were not transported properly due to wars and blockades, and the squeeze stagnated in various places.Now that Fuxing City has resumed the trade route, those grains will definitely not be saved. They must be transported over quickly and replaced with various other necessities of life.

In the future, the trade volume may decline, but it can be maintained at about [-] to [-] tons per month.

Relying solely on the blood supply of capillaries, the food crisis in Fuxing City cannot be completely resolved.The food output in the surrounding areas of Fuxing City cannot fully meet the city's food consumption.

However, during the past half month, Bradford also got in touch with an old relationship who ran to the West Desert. There was already a transport convoy from the West Desert on the way.

The current grain stock can still last. One month later, the transport convoy carrying more than [-] tons of grain will arrive in Fuxing City.During this period of time, Ossina got in touch with the agent that Gu Hang supported in Garbage Town, Denison Henry, and purchased a huge amount of hot gray stone.

West Desert has a great demand for good fuel such as thermal limestone, and it is also their main import commodity after selling grain.The underground plantation factories left over from the pre-war era consume a lot of water and electricity.

Water resources are supplied by oases and mined locally; for energy, they have to be imported in large quantities.

In this regard, Ossina has a new idea.

Is it possible to pull the power grid to the West Desert?

What they want is essentially just energy.The thermal limestone is pulled back and is also used for power generation.

The construction of a high-voltage power grid and direct transmission of electricity is much lower than the transportation cost of pulling hot gray stones one by one with bullock carts and cars.

Moreover, the cost of directly exporting electricity is also cheaper.

Ms. Wu Jiarong has already deployed a reactor generator set around Weixing City.At the opening ceremony, Ossina also appeared.

After being connected to the grid, almost all thermal limestone generating units stopped.

It's no longer needed. The power generated by a set of reactor generators connected to the grid is already enough for the production and life of Fuxing City and Weixing City with a total of one million people.

Even, there are some rich.

Abundant and cheap energy has made a huge difference.

Hot limestone has not been eliminated, but it can all be used as fuel for the operation of vehicles.The mass-produced iron bull trucks can run freely, and there is no power plant to compete with them for fuel; the extra energy can be used for things that seem a bit luxurious in the wasteland, such as air conditioning.

The air conditioner factory in Fuxing City has expanded its production capacity.Ossina is planning to send a batch of air conditioners to the shelves of the alliance store before the weather is about to turn into summer.

People from outside the city may not enjoy it, but they will have hope.Anyway, I don't have to worry about food and clothing, if I really want to buy it, I can buy it by accumulating work points; while those in the inner city who are more actively integrated into the existing system, if they have the ability, will be assigned a relatively high rank, and then they will be awarded for their meritorious service. I received bonuses—for example, the hard-working staff who joined the Grain Trade Bureau this time.Their bonuses are enough for them to buy an air conditioner and live a cool summer comfortably.

Even if there is a quota for electricity consumption, it doesn't matter. The part that exceeds the quota of the rank can be used by spending work points because electricity has become cheap.

In fact, people throughout the city are the same.Those who can't afford air conditioners, electric lights or some other electrical appliances can always afford it, and they can all be turned on.

These are all visible improvements to the quality of life.

After the power generation unit of the reactor was connected to the grid and the price of electricity dropped accordingly, the two cities under Gu Hang's command became a bit like cities that never sleep.

In the future, various industrial products using electric power will be mass-produced, and after entering thousands of households, there will be more and more scenes based on energy development.

As the power consumption increases, what should I do if some of the latter are not enough?

Just build another reactor generator set.

Fuyu's electricity can of course be sold as a commodity.

It is a good idea for Ossina to sell electricity to West Desert, and the construction technology for the transmission grid is currently available.

However, the construction of a high-voltage transmission network stretching thousands of kilometers away is the second most difficult to construct, and the most important is the difficulty of maintenance.

There are many dangers along the way.Monsters may be better. Those things have a very strong desire to attack humans, but they will not move the creations built by humans.

However, those looters along the way may not be known.

There is no special benefit for them to break and destroy the transmission grid, but they can use this method to engage in blackmail.

Ossina mentioned this idea to Gu Hang during a certain report.

Gu Hang smiled and asked her to record this matter in the long-term plan.

"In the future, I will clear up all the way, and our high-voltage transmission station will be built all the way."

...

Dangping is thousands of kilometers away from Fuxing City to the west. It seems quite far away, but it is actually not as far as imagined.

A Battalion of Perbov has already advanced [-] kilometers with Weixing City as the center in a few days.

Before the award ceremony, Perbov received an order from the governor, asking his troops to do this after finishing preparations.

His troops were the first ones in Xifeng Brigade to be fully staffed.In half a month, not only the source of troops was in place, but also all the heavy equipment and all the vehicles were basically stuffed in.

But before all the equipment was in place, he couldn't wait to start acting.

Some particularly small gathering places, with only a few dozen or a hundred people, hide very deep and are not easy to find, so forget it; those who only need to reach the scale of a thousand people, especially those who have registered in the alliance Yes, settlements 'belonging to a member of the alliance', that's easy to handle.

At this scale, most monks can run away but cannot run away from the temple.

In fact, most settlements do not need to be fought to recover.

They considered themselves part of the league.In the past, it was because the alliance had no interest, no ability, or other reasons. Anyway, there was no direct administrative jurisdiction over them.

However, these places have different attitudes when faced with the governor who has now mastered Fuxing City and demands that they accept orders under direct jurisdiction uniformly.

Some accepted it readily. Generally, such places are like the abandoned cave clubs. They are poor and white, struggling to survive in one place.

Some are reluctant, but they are helpless.The towed artillery pulled by the truck is lined up, the majestic armored vehicles and tanks are placed on the face, and the soldiers with live ammunition are uniformly dressed, and they look like elite troops.

How to resist?

A synthetic battalion under Major Perbov has more than 800 people. In some camps, the entire population may not be much larger than this number, and even a few guns may not be able to make up a few.

He could only send out people in cold sweat to negotiate with Perbov.

There is nothing to talk about, just one sentence: surrender all weapons unconditionally and accept the rule.

Immediately afterwards, the civil affairs officials who came with Perbov's army will enter the captured survivor's camp with the army.

Their people will do two things in batches.

One is to publicize Fuxing City's policies in the camp.The political commissars of each company in the first battalion will mobilize some progressive soldiers to do this with the people from the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

The general meaning is that when you come to our Fuxing City, you can earn something from your work.According to the ability and nature of the work, the rank can be determined. After the rank is established, there will be a guarantee of basic living quotas, from food to medical care to housing improvement.

After this wave, many camps with poor living conditions can basically stabilize.

Although most people would not easily believe that all of this is true... But since they can't resist, they can only enjoy it.

And the second thing they have to do is to analyze the conditions and industries of the camp, and assess whether this survivor camp needs to be preserved.

There is no need to keep camps that have nothing special and rely on local resources for important outputs.The population collectively migrated to Weixing City to make up for various industrial outputs.

Within half a month, there were four abandoned camps with a total population of nearly [-].

And some places that rely on local resource output—mainly agricultural output—will be preserved.

There are three such camps, one of which is a cave dwelling camp. The special environment here can cultivate a kind of fungus in the cave.Relying on this fungus, they not only feed more than 3000 people, but even a lot of them can be exported.

Not all of this troglodyte camp will remain, though.It is not necessary to have so many people to maintain and expand the mushroom cultivation industry. Two-thirds of the population will be relocated, and the rest will be transferred to become mushroom cultivation workers and managers on the spot. It is transported here from the city, but at the same time, the entire mushroom cultivation industry will become government-run and public-owned.

The other two plantations with a population of [-] people are also treated similarly.

In addition to the remaining agricultural workers, mushroom cultivation workers and managers, a batch of weapons will be delivered to the camp in the future.Among the remaining population, weapons will be distributed on the spot and militia organizations will be established to give them the ability to protect themselves.

Perbov's actions in the past half month have added more than [-] people to Weixing City, and conquered three village-level strongholds that produce food.

Although it was a military operation, there was almost no resistance during the whole process.

This is of course a good thing.

There was no battle, and Perbov was a little depressed.He remembered what he heard on the plane when he accompanied the governor to Fuxing City.This wave, he was chosen by the Governor to be the brigade commander of the Extinguishing Wind Brigade in the future, and he came here to make meritorious deeds.

Although his actions have been fruitful, it can be said that it comes from the prestige of the governor and the orthodox name of the alliance. It is a bit bragging to insist that it is his own credit.

No shot was fired, it depends on the call, what does this have to do with him, Perbov?

But he can't do things like killing good people.The political commissars of the brigade headquarters and the political commissars of each company were all staring at him.It is said that Fuxing City is still building a military court, so he doesn't want to be the first guest.

His own conscience couldn't let him do such a thing.

However, it won't always be smooth sailing.

A working group from the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Immigration Bureau sent a request for help, and then lost contact.

Before losing contact, they were doing work related to population migration in 'Sanchi Town'.

----

There will be more tomorrow!Work hard the day after tomorrow!
