Chapter 141: New Technologies and New Ideas
"General, this is a map that has been researched recently."
Guo Yun sweated profusely and ran to Tang Zheng's official residence and handed over three drawings.
During this time, Guo Yun can be said to be the busiest person, not only to study the laws of the evolution of the corpse king, but also to be responsible for mapping.
Fortunately, Tang Zheng assigned all the ten scientific research soldiers of the Ministry of the Interior to him, otherwise he would have died of his own work.
Moreover, Tang Zheng urged the drawing to be urgent, and he also worked day and night, and finally made three.
Tang Zheng saw the three drawings and took them with satisfaction.
[Freshwater purification plant: the price is 50,000 gold. 】
[Barracks: Sold for 200,000 gold. 】
[Vehicle Modification Center: The price is 500,000 gold. 】
"Tell me, what are these three buildings used for?"
"General, this freshwater purification plant is very simple, the equipment that can purify freshwater, we have laid heating pipes, sewage pipes, and water supply pipelines in Zhuguang City, but the water of the Fengming River is mineral water, which is not suitable for all people, and the freshwater purification plant directly takes groundwater, and after purification, it becomes pure water, which can be directly transported to thousands of households."
Tang Zheng nodded, this is something for people's livelihood, and it is still necessary to build one.
Now that there are more and more people in the city, tap water has not yet been popularized, everyone goes to the Fengming River to get water, and gradually the Fengming River is polluted.
And it is also very inconvenient for Tangtang to go out, and there are already many legends of Fengming River monsters in the city.
"There is also the barracks, at present, it is still very inconvenient for our soldiers to rest, they basically sleep in the sleeping bags issued by the generals, and the soldiers need a home, and this barracks will be built."
"The maximum number of people in a barracks is 2,500, that is, a battalion, covering an area of 100,000 square meters, which includes school fields, dormitories, shooting ranges, outward bound training camps, garages, canteens, bathrooms and other buildings."
After hearing Guo Yun's introduction, Tang Zheng felt that it was not expensive.
The military camp should be set up in the inner city, and 100,000 square meters sounds like a lot, but compared to the inner city area of nearly five square kilometers, it can only be regarded as a very small part.
But Guo Yun's next words surprised Tang Zheng a little.
"General, you should be cautious in the mapping of the barracks, because if you increase the number of troops in the future, then you will be constrained by the barracks, and you can buy as many troops as there are military camps, because the soldiers also need shelter."
Tang Zheng paused for a moment: "You mean, if I upgrade the Chasing Light Army to a regiment, then I will need a lot of military camps?" ”
"Yes general, assuming that in the future the total number of our regiment will be 10,000 people, then you will need to build four barracks."
One barracks is 200,000 gold, and four are 800,000, which is no longer a small number.
But Tang Zheng didn't think there was anything wrong with this, there had been no military camp before, and he had treated the soldiers badly.
Although there were some constraints on the construction of the barracks, he completely agreed that if he could not even afford to build a barracks, then he would rather not expand the army.
Thinking in his heart, he had already planned the location of some military camps in the inner city.
In the future, he will definitely upgrade the regiment commander, maybe four military camps are not enough, after all, according to the current configuration, five field battalions will cost 12,500 people.
Seeing the last building, the Vehicle Transformation Center, Tang Zheng asked Guo Yun.
"What is this? The price is 500,000, which is much more expensive than the barracks? ”
"General, this is a recent breakthrough made by our research institute, the acid prevention technology, rust removal technology all done by mechanical operation, as long as you build this transformation center, you can send some old vehicles into the center's workshop, after an hour of transformation, you can basically return a new car."
"Oh! And this technique? ”
"That's right, General, I suggest that this center be placed in the inner city as well, now in the entire Chasing Light City, including the Northern Region, almost no one among the ordinary survivors owns vehicles, only those adventurers, mercenary groups and the like, there are some jeeps and trucks, and they are often scrapped, the shortage of vehicles is already a big problem, we have this, it is equivalent to having a steady stream of wealth, and we can manufacture a large number of cars."
Hearing the prospect described by Guo Yun, Tang Zheng was very moved.
But he quickly thought of a question: "Wealth. However, there is no currency in the region that can be used in the region. ”
"General, I also need to discuss this with you, the development speed of our Chasing Light City is now rapid, a large number of people are pouring in, the construction of buildings is rapid, many projects are gradually completed, it is expected that before January, all the existing buildings in Chasing Light City will be completed, and the total population may reach one million, which is close to the scale of a small county town before the end of the world, so I think we already have the basis for issuing currency."
Hearing this, Tang Zheng didn't speak for a long time.
According to Guo Yun, there is nothing wrong with issuing currency on a small scale, but Tang Zheng is thinking more far-reaching.
Because he knew that as time went on, he would have to deal with the Empire here sooner or later.
In the history of Han Yue, the issuance of currency is the exclusive right of the royal family, and if he issues currency, it is almost equivalent to walking on the opposite side of the royal family.
Guo Yun here is not as far-reaching as Tang Zheng thought, and he is still gushing: "General, there are rumors now, the alliance is also preparing to issue currency, we can't lag behind." ”
"We can produce cars at almost no cost, and we can also take out our guns and chariots for sale, and we also have the technology that no one has, that is, antiviral serum, which can be sold, and if you want to buy these things, you can only use our currency, such a good foundation is that even if other forces issue currency, there is no competitiveness, our currency will become a universal currency, and it is foreseeable that countless materials will pour here in the future, and we will be the richest."
Hearing this, Tang Zheng finally made up his mind.
It is indeed a good opportunity to have no contact with the Empire yet, and as for the future, no one can say for sure now.
The closest to Chasing Light City was Liu Yibang's Imperial Fifth Army.
The Fifth Group is stationed in Jingchuan County, Lianghe Province, about 1,300 kilometers away from Zhuguang City.
But if you want to come here from Jingchuan, there is a place that is almost impossible to bypass, and that is Hezhou City.
Hezhou is a city with a population of 50 million, and now the number of zombies is almost 40 million, and it is definitely not easy for the Fifth Army to come from there.
So in a short period of time, it is not possible to border the imperial powers.
I guess it's going to be next spring soon.
Thinking of this, Tang Zheng finally made a decision.
"Prepare, I agree to this."
"Okay general, then my next drawing should be the banknote printing factory."
Tang Zheng nodded, after deciding, he didn't have so many worries, and his heart was relieved.
"Are there any other cartography ideas?"
"Yes, the acid rain after the end of the world has caused most of the metals to be corroded, and many wires and lines, signal tower base stations, etc. are not usable.
"TV station?"
"Yes, the TV station, and our line equipment, all have a strong anti-acid function, when the time comes, other places want to make TV programs, I'm afraid they will also come to us to purchase, these are also the foundation of our currency in the future."
Hearing Guo Yunsan's words of not leaving the issuance of currency, Tang Zheng was also amused in his heart.
It seems that these subordinates of his own have no reverence for the empire and the royal family, and are only loyal to themselves.
However, Tang Zheng never intended to correct this kind of thing.
Guo Yun left, and Tang Zheng was preparing to build a new building.
Ning Yuwei drove a Willis and took Tang Zheng to start looking for a construction site in the inner city.
At the riverside location near the Fengming River, Tang Zheng chose a freshwater purification plant.
50,000 gold was smashed, and the purification plant was built.
Like the power plant, it brought its own thirty workers.
A large courtyard, well greened, with two huge water towers 30 meters high and 50 meters in diameter, which can be recycled to ensure a continuous water supply for the entire city.
After the construction of the freshwater purification plant, Tang Zheng then looked for a place to build a military camp.
He must build more military camps, but he doesn't have a lot of funds in his hands at the moment, so he can build one first.
Finally, in the southeast of the inner city, Tang Zheng built the first military camp.
The huge military camp covering an area of 100,000 square meters was placed, and Tang Zheng felt that it was a miracle.
Six dormitory buildings, enough to accommodate 2,500 people.
The barracks have a twenty-meter-wide electric gate, and the driveway goes around the barracks.
There is a large school field inside, and outdoor fitness equipment such as running tracks, horizontal bars, and parallel bars are readily available.
And there is also a shooting range near the city walls, where the fighters can practice their marksmanship.
There is also a canteen inside, so that the cooking troops can be stationed at that time, and the soldiers do not have to eat and sleep outside.
Tang Zheng deliberately entered the dormitory building to take a look, there were male and female dormitories, but they were not on the same floor.
The dormitories are all eight-person rooms, with bunk beds, spacious and bright interiors, solid wood beds, internal kettles, bedding, etc. are all brand new.
Moreover, each dormitory has its own shower room, and the facilities in the bathroom are relatively complete, which is comparable to an ordinary hotel.
Turn on the faucet, and the tap water in it is even connected, which is the benefit of building a freshwater purification plant first.
The platoon leader has a separate room, and there is also a medical room in the dormitory, as well as an indoor gym.
Leaving the dormitory building, there are garages downstairs in each company's dormitory where you can park your vehicles.
There is even an outward bound training center here, and the so-called outward bound training is to simulate actual combat, so that the troops can organize internal confrontation and conduct actual combat drills.
After looking around, Tang Zheng became more and more satisfied.
This is the life of a warrior, and it used to be that he didn't treat warriors well enough.
In the future, the soldiers of the Chasing Light Army will not only fight, but also have superior logistical support.
The funds of 200,000 yuan were spent, and Tang Zheng was not distressed at all.
But the next construction is half a million dollars.
Tang Zheng looked at the money in his hand, when he collected a wave of funds after beating the corpses, the money in his hand rose to more than two million, and now it has dropped to one million and eight million.
When the construction of this vehicle transformation center is completed, the money in hand is only 1.3 million, and the gap between the head of the promotion group has widened.
