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

At present, the first pharmaceutical factory of the alliance in Weixingcheng has been successfully put into operation. It is said that more than 100 kinds of medicines and medical supplies of various types can be produced there.

However, there is no need to put all the production processes of so many types of drugs into production. Some drugs, what are the cures for stomach problems, skin diseases, osteoporosis......

These things, of course, cannot be said to be useless, but at least for the time being, they are irrelevant.

Fast-acting hemostatic agents, antibiotics, analgesic drugs, trauma drugs...... These are much more important and in much greater demand on the wasteland.

As for the arms......

The arms to be sold, of course, are not the ones that are newly produced.

Gu Hang's local tyrant brigade has not yet been reorganized, where is the surplus ordnance that can be sold to others?

However, it is precisely because he wants to build a heavy synthetic brigade that a lot of weapons and equipment left by the Alliance Legion before have become goods in the warehouse.

Osena is going to sell these things in batches.

But you can't sell it blindly.

The sale of arms is a sensitive matter.

In her vision, this trade, in addition to obtaining sufficient food supplies for Fuxing City, was also very important, that is, it should achieve a reasonable political purpose.

Osena is now very concerned about the stability of the Aoya area.

This is not only because of her personal feelings, but also because of 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. It has been in turmoil for a long time, and the impact on Fuxing City will be great.

It is best to pick the right trading partners, find the Qinggu Manor Lords who are in the Orderly camp, sell them arms, and arm them.

Osena hopes that the armed plantations can maintain the order of food production and continue to provide food for Fuxing City; It can resist and even fight back against the raiders that have spawned as a result of the turmoil. It would be better if they could join forces and quell the tide of monsters that had been raging in the Qingya region for months.

She was determined to do it herself, with Bradford assisting and providing some contacts and channels.

It's just that doing arms sales is a bit beyond Osena's authority. She is the head of the civil, commercial, and production departments, but she has no authority over ordnance.

She found Gu Hang.

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

After listening carefully to Osena'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 showed what he was capable of. With regard to the resumption of grain imports, the task of the first phase has been relatively smoothly accomplished. The 'capillaries' restored the blood supply, and the grain trade and transportation began again in the various grain-producing areas around Fuxing City.

In half a month, a total of 10,000 tons of grain were imported.

The endless flow of wild cattle convoys and automobile fleets can be seen more frequently outside Fuxing City again.

Of course, this is the reason why many grain shipments were not in place due to the war and blockade before, and the squeeze was stagnant in various places. Now that Fuxing City has resumed its trade routes, the food will definitely not be saved, and it will be transported over and exchanged for various other necessities.

Subsequently, the volume of trade may decline somewhat, but it can be maintained at about 5,000 to 10,000 tons per month.

Relying only on the blood supply of capillaries, the food crisis in Fuxing City cannot be completely solved. The food output in the area around Fuxing City cannot fully meet the food consumption of the city.

However, in the past half a month, Bradford has also contacted an old relationship who ran the Western Desert, and there is already a transport convoy from the Western Desert, which is on the way to departure.

The current grain stock can still hold up, and in a month, the convoy carrying more than 50,000 tons of grain will arrive in Fuxing City. During this time, Osena contacted the agent supported by Gu Hang in Junk Town, which was Denison Henry, and purchased a large amount of hot limestone.

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

Water is fed by oases and mined locally; In the case of energy, we have to rely on a lot of imports.

In this regard, Osena has a new idea.

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

What they want, in essence, is just energy. The hot limestone is pulled back, and it is also used for power generation.

The construction of a high-voltage power grid and direct transmission of electricity is much lower than taking an ox cart or a car to pull hot limestone.

Moreover, the cost of direct output of electricity is also cheaper.

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

After being connected to the grid, almost all the hot limestone generator sets were stopped.

It is not needed, the power generation capacity of a set of reactor generator sets after being connected to the grid is enough for the production and life of a total of one million people in Fuxing City and Weixing City.

Even, there are some affluence.

Abundant, cheap energy has made a huge difference.

Hot limestone has not been phased out, but it can be used as fuel for vehicle operations. The mass-produced iron cattle trucks can run freely, and there is no power farm 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-conditioning plant in Fuxing City has expanded its production capacity. Osena is ready to get a batch of air conditioners to be delivered to the shelves of the Alliance store before the weather is about to turn into summer.

Out-of-town people may not enjoy it, but there is hope. Anyway, there is no need to worry about food and clothing, if you really want to buy it, you can buy it if you save up for work; And those in the inner city who are more actively integrated into the existing system, if they have the ability, are set to a relatively high rank, and then they have meritorious service and receive bonuses - such as the hard-working staff who joined the grain trade bureau this time. Their bonus is enough for them to buy an air conditioner and live a cool summer.

It doesn't matter if there is a quota for electricity, the part that exceeds the quota of the rank is also cheaper, and it is completely affordable to spend money on electricity.

In fact, people are the same all over the city. If you can't afford an air conditioner, you can afford a light or some other electrical appliance, and you can use it open.

These are all visible to the naked eye to improve the quality of life.

After the reactor generator set was connected to the grid and the electricity price fell in response, the two cities under Gu Hang's command were a bit of a city that never sleeps.

In the future, after the mass production of various industrial products using electricity enters thousands of households, this kind of energy-based development will become more and more.

As the power consumption increases, what should I do if there is not enough in the back?

Just build another reactor generator set.

Abundant electricity, of course, can be sold as a commodity.

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

However, the construction of a high-voltage transmission grid is thousands of kilometers away, and the construction difficulty is secondary, and the most important thing is the difficulty of maintenance.

Along the way, there are many dangers. Monsters may be better, those things have a very strong desire to attack humans, but they won't move the creatures built by humans.

However, the raiders along the way, maybe it won't be.

They cut off and destroy the transmission grid, which is not particularly beneficial to themselves, but they can use such means to engage in blackmail.

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

Gu Hang smiled at the time and asked her to write this down in her long-term planning.

"In the future, I will smooth out all the way, and our high-voltage transmission station will be able to be built all the way."

……

The distance of thousands of kilometers west from Fuxing City looks quite far away, but it is not as far as imagined.

A battalion of Perbov had already advanced 200 kilometers with Weixing City as the center in a few days.

Before the ceremony, Perbov received orders from the Governor to do so as soon as his troops were ready.

His unit was the first to be fully manned in the Wind Extinguishing Brigade. In half a month, not only the troops were in place, but all the heavy equipment and all the vehicles were basically crammed in.

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

Some particularly small gathering places, where there are only dozens or hundreds of people, hide very deeply, and it is not easy to find, then forget it; Those settlements with a size of more than 1,000 people, especially those registered in the Alliance, who are 'part of the Alliance', will be easy to do.

At this scale, most of them can run monks and can't run the temple.

In fact, most of the settlements did not need to be regained without a war.

They already considered themselves part of the Alliance. In the past, it was because the Coalition had no interest, inability, or some other reason, and there was no direct administrative jurisdiction over them anyway.

And these places, when faced with the governor who now has control of Fuxing City, and asks for unified orders to accept direct jurisdiction, the attitude is different.

Some gladly accepted it, and generally such a place is quite like a waste cave society, poor and white, struggling to survive in one place.

Some, reluctantly, but helplessly. The towed artillery pulled by trucks was lined up, the majestic armored vehicles and tanks were placed on their faces, and the soldiers with loaded guns were uniformly dressed, looking like an elite division.

How to resist?

There are more than 800 people in a synthetic battalion under Major Perbov, and the entire population of some camps may not be much larger than this number, and the guns may not be able to make up a few.

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

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

Immediately afterward, the civil affairs officer who came with Perbov's army would enter the captured survivors' camp with the army.

Their people, will do two things in batches.

One is to promote the policies of Fuxing City in the camps. The political commissars of the various companies of the first battalion will mobilize some progressive soldiers to follow the people of the Ministry of Civil Affairs to do this.

Roughly speaking, when you come to our Fuxing City, you can earn from your labor. Depending on the ability and nature of the work, a rank can be determined, and after that rank, there is a basic subsistence quota guarantee, ranging from food to medical care to housing improvement.

If this wave continues, many camps with poor living conditions will basically be stabilized.

Although most people don't believe that this is true so easily...... But since you can't resist, you can only enjoy it.

The second thing they had to do was to analyze the condition of the camp and the property, and to assess whether the survivor camp needed to be kept.

Camps that do not have any special and important outputs that rely on local resources do not need to be retained. The population migrated to Weixing City en masse to fill the industrial output.

Within half a month, there were four abandoned camps, with a total population of nearly seven thousand.

Where there are locally resource-based outputs, mainly agricultural, will be retained.

There are three such camps, one of which is a cave-dwelling camp, where a special environment allows a fungus to be cultivated in the cave. Relying on this fungus, they not only feed more than 3,000 people, but even many can be used for export.

However, this troglodyte camp will not be preserved entirely. Two-thirds of the population will be relocated and the rest will be converted into mushroom cultivation workers and managers on the spot, and the relevant resources will be transported from the city to here, but at the same time, the entire mushroom cultivation industry will become government-run and public-owned.

Two other plantations with a population of 1,000 people are similarly treated.

In addition to the remaining agricultural workers, mushroom growers, and managers, a shipment of weapons will be brought to the camp when they are returned. Among those who remain, weapons are distributed on the spot, and militias are established to give them the ability to protect themselves.

In the past half month, Perbof's actions have added more than 10,000 people to Weixing City and subdued three village-level strongholds with food output.

Although it was a military operation, there was little resistance during the whole process.

That's certainly a good thing.

There was no fight, and Perbov was a little depressed. He remembered what he had 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 Wind Extinguishing Brigade in the future, and he specially came to make meritorious deeds.

Although his actions were fruitful, to put it bluntly, this was from the prestige of the governor and the legitimacy of the alliance.

Not a single shot was fired, depending on the pass, what does this have to do with him Perbof?

But he can't do anything to kill good people. The political commissars of the brigade headquarters and the political commissars of the companies were all staring at him. It is said that there is still a military court being built on the Fuxing City side, and he doesn't want to be the first guest.

His own conscience couldn't even make 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 message asking for help, and then lost contact.

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

A little more tomorrow! Work hard the day after tomorrow!
