But the recovery of these people is not ideal, which also makes the investigation from the first two weeks, drag on to two months, and then continue to drag on, until these people gradually come back to their senses, it is already the second year, Lin Bida is no longer in Joaquin City at this time, they finally gradually regained their sanity, remembered what happened at the beginning, according to their explanation, everyone was sure that the first person to recover his sanity was not wrong, and the remaining four people almost did not deviate from what the first person said, which can obviously be provenWhat they see is not out of imagination, but from reality.

In addition, there is another difference between them and what the first person saw, that is, when they fainted, in addition to seeing the distortion of the space in front of them and the monkey, they also felt that there seemed to be some problems with their sense of taste at that time, and suddenly they smelled a special smell, which was like a dried sweet potato, with a hint of starch and sweetness, and then it all disappeared.

After putting all the reports together, everyone still wondered why these people saw superfluous scenes, and what did they mean? Lin Bida still didn't understand, and after Shu Han saw it, he still didn't know the reason, so he simply found a time for himself to visit these patients who were still recuperating in the nursing home, wanting to hear what they had to say.

At this time, these five people have also been brought to the Black Iron City, the medical equipment here is obviously better than that of Joaquin City, before their bodies were still weak, so they did not dare to act rashly, and now their bodies have recovered as before, but the spirit is not comparable to before, so this is why they continue to live here, but there is no problem from Joaquin City to Black Iron City, since the railway was built, the exchange between the two cities has become much more convenient, and there are many small towns along the way, These towns were originally small villages, but the train always had to stop.

The train of this era can be different from the modern high-speed rail, the high-speed rail is driven by electricity, so it can stop where it wants, and there is no need to supplement energy at all, but now the trains of the Black Iron City are not, they rely on the heat generated by the coal to promote the train action, and if a train wants to reach the Black Iron City directly from Joaquin City, there is a distance of nearly 300 kilometers in the middle, and if it does not stop in the middle, it will take more than six carriages of coal alone, and the remaining space is really very limited, today's trains, at most, there are only ten carriages, and there are four cars left, and the transportation capacity is undoubtedly too low.

Therefore, according to the budget of the Survival Alliance, it was finally decided to set up three replenishment points along the line, and when the train stops here, the coal can be replenished, thereby reducing the space occupied by the coal, so that only two carriages are needed for ten carriages to complete the transportation, and it will become much easier for the transportation of goods.

And this naturally brings business opportunities around, when the train stops, it takes time to load new coal, it takes about an hour or so, and these times, passengers will naturally get off the train to rest and rest, so many villagers living around have set up a series of shops and restaurants in the surrounding open space, these guests do the train, itself is a very tiring thing, there is nothing delicious on the train, are some dry biscuits and other things, and to these places, You can get off the train and eat some good things, the price is not expensive, they will burn whatever is grown in the surrounding countryside, which brings some foot traffic.

The flow of people is naturally the flow of passengers, many shrewd villagers will open inns and so on, for these travelers to live, business will slowly flourish, and as the train is open for longer and longer, the passenger flow is also getting larger and larger, the average monthly train will drive the flow of more than 100,000 people between the Black Iron City and Joaquin City, this number is naturally nothing in modern times, but in this era, the population flow is a huge business opportunity, and this number is growing with time.

In the next five years, more than two million people from the old land of Guangyuan Kingdom will enter the rule of Black Iron City and Joaquin City, and the combined population of the two cities will exceed 3.7 million, or even 4 million.

Therefore, in the past two years, these three stations have become lively, and the shops opened have developed from the beginning of four or five, to now, it has become a commercial street, the train speed at this time is very slow, plus the loading and unloading of goods on the way, these take time, and at the same time, in order to ensure the efficiency of the train, the railway company also specially distinguishes two kinds of trains, one is direct, that is, it is filled with enough coal for a trip to drive, so that there is no need to stop in the middle, and you can directly reach the destination, But such train tickets cost five times as much as regular trains, and only the wealthy can afford to sit on them.

After all, in this way, coal will occupy more than half of the space of the train, and the remaining guest seats are naturally not much, if the ticket price is not high, then the train is undoubtedly a loss, and this price of tickets ordinary people can not afford, and in order to stimulate ordinary people to do the train, people will follow the way of freight trains, set up train shifts that stop halfway, these shifts can do more guests, in this way, you can increase the number of customers, but the time will increase, It usually takes seven to nine hours to arrive at Joaquin City from the Black Iron City, and some people may not be able to hold on, so they need to find a place to rest around, and there are some hotels at these three sites, the price is very cheap, and it is specially for these people to serve, often only one yuan, you can get a large bunk, sleep for a night, and then wait for tomorrow to continue the departure.

In this way, the development of the three stations became more and more prosperous, and a commercial street naturally brought taxes, and in order to take care of these people, naturally more people also appeared in these small stations, and slowly the small stations became bazaars, and then became small towns, among which the fastest growing small bazaar, called Shangshan Town, relied on a small plain of about 100 square kilometers, and at the same time, local officials vigorously encouraged commercial development, and at the same time promoted the entry of surrounding villagers, Many light industry factories in Black Iron City and Huajin City have moved there, relying on convenient railways and cheap land prices, many factories have been built here, and the population of the whole town has exceeded 10,000, which is a real town.

This also allows the surrounding villagers to get better development, and the development of the town requires a lot of meat and grain, and these villagers can naturally provide all this, which makes the surrounding food and meat prices stable, so that the villagers can also live a better life.

The improvement of transportation, undoubtedly let many people along the line get benefits, today's Black Iron City, in addition to a few big cities, also gave birth to a series of small towns, most of these towns were born for two reasons, one is the previous Shangshan Town, relying on the railway, so that a lot of investors value this place, willing to invest here, new factories, the other part is the raw material production area, because of the emergence of a large number of miners thus gathered into a small town, these towns are more than one or two thousand people, less than four or five thousand people, But it is precisely because of the existence of these small towns that the entire Black Iron City and Joajin City Economic Circle have better development and more opportunities, which also makes the people of Black Iron City more eager to build more railways for development.

At the same time, in this year, the baby boom has not been broken, under the encouragement of the policy, now the registered population of the survival league has exceeded 7.5 million people, of which more than 500,000 people come from the villagers of the old underground mountain of Guangyuan country, as the survival alliance will move more and more people of Guangyuan country to the scope of the Black Iron City, the land pressure of Guangyuan country has been rapidly relieved, and those who hide in the deep mountains and old forests will naturally go down the mountain to occupy these places, after all, although hiding in the mountains is free, but the living conditions are undoubtedly very difficult, If you don't say anything, you will lose your life if you get some diseases, and if you encounter some fierce beasts, you will die even more.

The change of the city is very scary, under the construction of the Black Iron City, many of the large cities that have been preserved have built electric towers and water towers to ensure the local water and electricity supply, looking at the lights of thousands of homes in the city in the distance, few people will not be moved, in addition, a large number of factories have built a lot of cheap goods, refrigerators, air conditioners, electric fans and other equipment have been manufactured, in addition, a good medical system and education system, has made a huge difference between city people and mountain people.

In the past, the city was not very attractive to the people in the mountains, but now it is different, barbarism and civilization are not as clear as at this moment, the good life of the city naturally makes these people who are struggling to survive very envious, and Shu Han's policy does not discriminate against them, they are naturally willing to come down, so in just a few years, what Guangyuan Guo can not do for decades, it was done by Shu Han, I have to say that technology is the first key to improving productivity, and the improvement of productivity can indeed solve a lot of problems.

This also includes agriculture, in the past year, in order to fight hunger, Shu Han put almost all his time and energy on this thing, and the final result is not bad, although it seriously affected the birth rate of the Survival League and the mortality rate of children, but it also protected most of the people, and the people who died of hunger were less than 10,000 people, compared to the results of the Holy Alliance, it can be said that it was a great contribution, for which Shu Han took the lead in eating dregs, eating wild vegetables, and drinking gruel every day, Let Shu Han, who is not very fat in the first place, only lose less than a hundred pounds at the moment, he can be one meter seven or seven tall, this weight can be taken away by a gust of wind.

But finally survived, although the process is really painful, but with the arrival of the new autumn harvest season, a large number of grain can be produced in large quantities with the help of the fertilizer industry, and at the same time, a large number of mountain residents in Guangyuan Country settled in the plains, and the plains in the east of Black Iron City and Joaquin City and Black Iron City were reclaimed in large quantities, and more than 100,000 acres of fertile land were obtained, which made the survival alliance obtain a huge harvest, even the farmers who worked hard for a year, after paying taxes, can spend a whole year in peace, After Shuhan also opened the ban on alcohol and livestock breeding, these markets were reopened, and the people who had worked hard for two years could finally eat meat and wine again, and the whole country began to get better and better, and the disaster of hunger can be said to be finally gone.

And in the east of the Black Iron City, after two years of hard work, it has also gathered more than 200,000 people, the gathering of a large number of people, naturally produced a large number of materials, so a railway was also built, connecting the Black Iron City and this area, because it is a plain, relatively speaking, it is much easier than the mountains, so in less than a year, a railway more than 150 kilometers long has been built, and there are two points on this railway, one is the end point, and the other is the transit point, Naturally, the two points also gathered a large number of people, forming two new towns, and because of the large number of plains around, the population began to gather rapidly, one of which was called Jiading, and the population of the town has exceeded 20,000, and I am afraid that it will be called a city in the near future.

Of course, there are also many troubles in this process, first of all, the salinization of the land caused by seawater inflow, a large amount of land by the sea can not be cultivated at all, which makes Shu Han feel very pity, but fortunately there is more land to cultivate, and the other point is that the river water is affected by the seawater, and the salt content is often too high, so it can not be directly drunk, and it is necessary to dig wells in the local area to drink groundwater, but these are not problems, and can be solved quickly.

At the same time, there is another advantage of occupying this area, that is, the salt that was urgently needed by the survival alliance has finally been replenished, there is a large amount of salt in the seawater, and salt is undoubtedly a very important necessity for human beings, if people do not eat salt for a long time, they will get all kinds of diseases, and before that, the survival alliance obtained salt from the salt lake, and the entire survival alliance range, the number of salt lakes is very limited, so the price of salt has always been very high, and now with sea salt, it is naturally much easier.

At the same time, the ocean doesn't seem to be as terrible as they imagined, originally Shu Han thought that there were a lot of monsters in the ocean, so he didn't dare to provoke them, but when their people settled next to the sea, they didn't see too many monsters, so they slowly became bolder, and began to arrange for some fishermen to start fishing in the ocean, of course, they are all some offshore areas, even so, Shu Han is very careful, try to let these fishermen walk against the continental shelf, the sea water in these places is relatively shallow, even if there are monsters, They can't be too big or they'll run aground, and it turns out that these fishermen don't encounter much danger in the ocean, and those legendary monsters don't show up to take their lives.
