"Hmm~"

Gu Xia, who was sitting on the chair, held a glass of water, looked at the snow scene outside the window, which had obviously become larger, and sighed softly.

It has been two months since the day he established his research station, and during this time the development of the Northern Commonwealth has been quite smooth, with neither external shocks nor too many internal contradictions.

Since the last harvest, the grain in the granary is also sufficient, and the completion of the first census has been completed, so Xia Homeopathy has issued identity cards and contribution point currency.

The internal distribution method of Beilian has also changed from the original supply system distribution to the current distribution system according to work, and everyone will get corresponding contribution points according to the work intensity of their position.

With the identity card, you can buy most of the things you want inside Beilian, and even entrust the material collection team to help find something under the condition that the contribution points are sufficient.

In terms of population, after the first census, according to the final population data, the total population of the Northern Commonwealth has reached 2,586 people, and 85 robots.

This population figure is actually a bit beyond Gu Xia's expectations, originally thought that after such a war, the total population could not exceed 2,400, but I didn't expect it to exceed so much.

After thinking about it, Xia understood that when he speculated at that time, he did not include the part of the forces that had joined that did not agree to resist, so the data he calculated was smaller than the real one.

The second is the military issue, the 100 members of the standing army of the Northern Alliance have undergone high-intensity training during such a period of time, so Xia personally thinks that they are already counted as regular troops.

Coupled with the large amount of weapons and equipment support provided by Yang Miao's side, they seem to have a good combat effectiveness, although they can't compare with the robot troops, but compared to two months ago, they can now beat their former selves.

As for the fighters in the reserve forces, because of the amount of training and overall quality, their combat effectiveness has improved, but it is not so great, and they are basically more than able to defend and not enterprising.

Of course, this is the level after removing the robot troops.

Enjoying the tranquility of this moment, Xia silently admired the snow scene outside the window.

……

"Chief, are you convenient now?"

Gu Xia's door was knocked gently, and Yang Miao's voice came from behind the door.

"It's Yang Miao, you come in first."

Gu Xia put down the water cup in his hand and looked at Yang Miao who walked in from the door.

"Chief, the new planting equipment has been built, do you have time to check it out?"

Yang Miao was overjoyed as soon as he came in, and he seemed to be very satisfied with the equipment.

"Okay, I'll take a look."

Therefore Xia immediately stood up, he was also full of hope for this set of equipment, after all, this is one of the bases that determine whether Beilian can continue to expand, if there is no new machine to produce food, then the subsequent expansion can only be a castle in the air.

When passing by the door, Gu Xia asked the robot guard standing guard to inform the origin and let him be there as well.

Since the establishment of the Northern Alliance, Gu Xia and Origin have spent a lot less time together, so Xia is busy dealing with civil affairs within the Northern Alliance, while Origin is busy with military training and the like every day.

And from time to time, it is necessary to go into the control area to suppress the radiation beasts.

The current radiation beasts are not a big problem for the Northern Alliance, basically the material collection team has solved them by themselves, only those radiation beasts that have a relatively large number of groups and can be used for military training, they will keep and report to Gu Xia, and then Gu Xia will arrange the origin to take people to encircle and suppress.

It is also thanks to these radiation beasts that they generously contributed their own hides, otherwise, the target of one cold-proof coat per person set by summer would not have been completed.

After all, there is no way to grow crops such as cotton, and there is no way to make quilts in large quantities.

The previous garments were textiles dug up from the rubble, re-trimmed or simply washed and then worn.

No way, the wasteland world is so barren, and some people's clothes may have been passed down to the hands of several people before they were passed to the present.

On the way to the Ministry of Agriculture, Xia also inspected some other departments by the way.

The camp where the North Union is now located has been occupied by many houses, and there is no trace of the existence of the original Dominion.

Because of the relative increase in population density, this side has begun to take on the appearance of a small town, as long as it is morning, you can always see people walking in twos and threes.

Compared to the beggar-thy-neighbor state of Dominion some time ago, the atmosphere in this area is much better.

"The Chief is here!"

"Everybody give it up!"

The personnel of the Ministry of Industry who surrounded the planting equipment all made way for Gu Xia and Yang Miao, so that they could get close to the equipment and take a closer look.

"Chief, let me introduce to you, this is our new planting equipment, because of some changes, so the efficiency of this machine is five percentage points higher than the original one, although his total output can only maintain the appearance of a thousand people, but the cost and maintenance cost are only one-fifth of the original."

Yang Miaomei danced and explained to Gu Xia.

Therefore, Xia silently calculated in his heart that the maximum output of the original set of equipment, that is, it could maintain the appearance of four thousand people, and now the output of this set is one-fourth of the original, but the cost is only one-fifth, which is obviously a huge progress.

Moreover, the efficiency of the machine has increased by 5 percent, which means that its consumption per unit of output has been reduced by 5 percent, which is also a good improvement.

"Well, very good, very good, can this equipment be able to produce a few more sets?"

Compared to the technological advancements it shows above, Xia is more concerned about its reproducibility.

It's true that something is good, but if you can only build such a one, then its value will drop a lot, after all, this thing is not something in small demand, and quantity is also very important.

"No problem, the drawings have already been drawn, and there is no big problem in the process, as long as the materials are sufficient and the equipment is sufficient, we can quickly build another one."

Yang Miao replied immediately.

"Okay, so I'm relieved, it's a big improvement." So Xia thought for a while and said, "In this way, you give me a list, list the main personnel and auxiliary personnel involved in the manufacturing on it, and I will give them a certain reward, of course, the other personnel of the Ministry of Industry are also very good, and there will be a certain reward." ”

"Then thank you Chief, I'll go and prepare now." Yang Miao said happily.
