Chapter XXXVI Industrial Problems

But the need for manpower to operate is exactly the most headache in the summer.

If you want to talk about manpower, although there are few people on the Xia side, there are actually few things to do, so it is indeed not a big problem to squeeze out some people to work in the military industry.

It's just the manufacture of firearms and the manufacture of parts, these are not the kind of things that can be learned casually and can be rubbed out directly.

This requires a large number of mature industrial workers.

If it's a Martian factory in the system, then it's easy to do it, just let it produce it by itself, although the increase in productivity requires technology, but at least it can be used and does not consume manpower.

But unfortunately, the transformation and release of the factory is one-way, that is, the Mars factory in the system can be embodied in reality, but the existing factory in reality cannot be transformed into a system factory.

Again, it would be nice to say that you could use those three migrant workers to build a factory, but it's a pity that the system is different from the game, and the military and civilian workers in the system need to be unlocked with technology, and they can't be built from the beginning.

Fortunately, although it is not possible to build factories within the system, migrant workers are able to produce machinery and equipment.

These machines and equipment can be used in reality, which is equivalent to increasing the production capacity of the factory in reality.

However, this goes back to the previous question, there are machines that no one uses, isn't this still in vain?

After thinking about it, Xia once again set his eyes on Yang Miao, who was standing on the side.

Speaking of the person who knows the most about machines here, this guy who claims to be an engineer is obviously the best choice, so Xia doesn't expect him to provide much productivity alone, after all, people are not machines, and an ordinary person can produce as much output as he works day and night.

Therefore, Xia just wanted him to help him train some technicians, and by the way, he helped himself to pick out the part of those captives that originally operated these production equipment and help him work.

In return, Xia could agree to some small requests.

"Yang Miao, do you want to be an official directly if you don't take prisoners?"

“?”

Yang Miao looked confused.

"If you don't speak, you will acquiesce, from now on, you will be the Minister of Industry of our consortium, and the affairs of the planting equipment and factories will be entrusted to you."

"Your task in the past few days is to find out the captives who have held these positions, so that they can resume production as soon as possible, and tell them that if they work hard, they can reduce the period of hard labor."

"Also, after a while there will be a large number of immigrants coming, and you pick people and bring them to the factory, and you and the skilled workers will be responsible for teaching them to be qualified workers."

"I can give you a promise that as long as three workers are taught, those captives can be released early."

Yang Miao was stunned when he heard it, when he was driven to the shelves, and the leader of this consortium did not first ask him if he was willing to be the minister.

Although I am quite willing, I always have to show the arrogance of some senior talents!

"Okay, you can pick someone, no matter who you pick, as long as he doesn't have a special reason, I'll give you approval, okay?"

"This ...... Well, I guess I don't have the right to say no. ”

Hearing this, Gu Xia shook his head and said, "You can refuse, I won't force you to do what you don't want to do." ”

"I don't understand."

Yang Miao couldn't understand Gu Xia's choice, according to his life experience, in this wasteland, it was extremely normal for the strong to persecute the weak, and there was no need for any reason at all.

Even if Gu Xia was worried that he would deliberately damage the equipment, it was actually unreasonable, after all, he had already confessed everything to him, and it was impossible for him not to be discovered next time.

And the reason why he did those things was only because he wanted to avenge his old friend first.

Now that the revenge has been avenged, it is time for me to think about my subsequent life, and the future union is my home, and there is no need to destroy it.

What's more, Gu Xia has already given himself such superior conditions, allowing himself to become a minister from such a captive.

I won't rebel if I say anything.

"It's just a personal preference, it's better not to let you do it than to let me do it if you are not convinced, although subjective initiative is not all, but it can't be without."

"Okay, give me an answer, would you like to be this minister?"

Gu Xia looked at Yang Miao's eyes, waiting for his answer.

"I promised, give me the roster of prisoners, and I will be able to put the basic framework up tomorrow."

Yang Miao nodded, he knew that it would be a bit hypocritical for him not to agree, since this person was so sincere, then he also had to repay his trust.

……

Returned to the room assigned to him, so Xia stretched his waist, he was really tired today, he walked more than fifty miles just by walking, and he was really tired from talking about cooperation with so many people and talking about production with engineers.

And it is conceivable that in the next few days, at least in the first month and two months, so summer is not a good time to rest.

Half-lying down to open the system interface, so Xia looked at the character card that had just appeared in the government slot option.

This is Yang Miao, who has just become his own Minister of Industry.

As an engineer, Yang Miao has two industrial attributes and two political attributes.

They are the respectable Wasteland Engineer who reduces the material cost by 10%.

Rigorous industrial experts, improving product reliability by 5%.

Respected doers, generating 0.25 political points per day.

Former captives, increases captive obedience.

This feature is simply very good!

Anyway, in this wasteland world, these properties are like carbon in the snow.

Therefore, Xia didn't even hesitate at all, and directly stuffed him into the slot, although it cost 150 political points, but people can give 0.25 political points every day, plus the bonuses provided by their own characteristics, it can be said that they bought early and enjoyed early.

Thinking that he would be able to get a certain amount of political points every day in the future, Xia was very happy.

In the past, the means of obtaining political points were too simple, either national policy or mission, which was very unstable.

Well, now there is output every day, although it is not much, but it is a good breakthrough.

Starting tomorrow, Gu Xia will slowly write down the various programmatic documents and some necessary laws and regulations of the Northern Union, as well as things like internal currency.

Therefore, Xia intends to abolish the material-based currency and use the contribution-based currency instead.

That is, let the people in the entire Northern Union turn their labor into contributions, and use their contributions to exchange for what they want, rather than the exchange of goods during the previous Dominion period.
