What he learned about the current situation was far worse than what Ji Cha had expected. This was not just a case he saw today, but a behavior that had been carried out in private for a while.
In this case, Ji Cha recalled that when he went out and passed by some places, he did see some young women with frightened faces.
He immediately went back and told the army the information, and Zhao Tiankuo immediately reported the situation. It was a little comforting that Ji Cha knew that the army would not tolerate human trafficking even in the last days.
Early the next morning, the army conducted a surprise investigation on the population of every household, and all those without ID were singled out for processing. The first is to ask about the origins of those people. Most of the abducted are girls, but there are also two teenagers. In Ji Cha's eyes, those middle-aged men or young men are disgusting and dirty. Boys and girls are held as having no identity and have no power to resist.
Even if they were rescued from the tiger's mouth, they couldn't react for a while, and some of them were severely tortured, and their eyes were extremely empty and lifeless.
After sorting out the details, even more disgusting facts were revealed.
Those who can be called human traffickers often kill their guardians every time they go out to find someone who can be abducted. Under such circumstances, they will be dragged to the black market for sale, and after the sale, the vast majority of people may face a more miserable fate, and they have to live with ease in order to survive.
The solution will come out soon.
At this time, the handling methods were relatively barbaric, and those who had personally participated in human trafficking or raped for more than one time were ordered to be shot. This kind of treatment is largely to deter people who are driven by interests and want to do this business again. Those who purchased these trafficked persons were also fined heavily and permanently recorded on the information card. People who have been dealt with in this way cannot engage in many industries, and it can be said that they are basically limited to the bottom of the base.
In the end, for those victims, the base made a decision that as long as they are willing, they can obtain identity certificates in the base, become full-fledged members of the base, and survive in the base through labor in the future.
This is undoubtedly great news for those teenagers. When they were rescued in front, they were worried about whether they would be kicked out of the base. Although it is said that life is very embarrassing now, no one wants to be exiled to face death. Now that he has the official identity of the base, it can be said that it is a treatment that many people outside can't ask for.
However, through this incident, there are also problems reflected: there are too few women in the base.
Ji Cha checked through the computer, and now the ratio of men to women in the base is almost eight to one. Only a small number of people have wives and daughters, and most of them are bachelors. This is definitely not a good phenomenon. The imbalance of gender ratio often breeds many violent crimes. The law and order in the base is good now, but it is only because the proportion of security managers is very high, and the punishment for crimes is very severe, so crimes are not common.
But in the long run, this issue will eventually erupt into contradictions. Ji Cha recalled that the last time he went to the base, this problem seemed to be less obvious. Probably there was a means of introducing population in the middle.
But at present, there is still a more difficult problem: those young people who have been rescued basically have no personal skills, and they can't find jobs that they can do in a short period of time. Because the work at the base is basically fixed-point and quantitative, and those who have long been recognized are familiar with it, and these young people do not have the slightest advantage when recruiting workers.
Ji Cha wanted to help them.
There are many advantages of young people, the most important point is that they can learn many things very quickly. Ji Cha helped contact the dispatcher and found some jobs for them. It is not afraid that there will be people coming in later. The army has already begun to prepare to operate some machines that have been brought back, such as textile and processing products.
At the same time, the expansion of the base will also start. Those who come in first are those with skills, followed by young people with strong bodies. In fact, at this time of the end of the world, it is basically rare to see people over the age of fifty. Occasionally, the ones I see are generally family units. If they are able to support the elderly at home, the army will still let people in.
Enrollment expansion was carried out until the end of January, and the population of the base had expanded to 5,000 people. Therefore, various projects needed to be stepped up to complete the accommodation and daily needs. Many of the newly built dormitories could not fulfill the function of cooking, so the troops built two large dining halls near the center of the base as needed. This not only solved many job vacancies at once, but also solved the food problem.
People can go to the cafeteria for three meals during the working day, and all they need is to swipe points on each person's information card. There is now a transfer function for the points of the information card, and you can transfer the points in your card to family members in need at the recruitment point or the settlement point. However, when using the information card, it is necessary to match the information on the person and the card one-to-one to avoid theft of the information card.
The last wave of vegetables on Jicha's side were basically harvested in December. He dried part of the peppers into dried peppers, and selected fresh red peppers to make chopped peppers. Chopped peppers have always been available in S City, but they are not as well-known nationwide as other provinces. When such materials are scarce, chopping peppers is actually a very convenient and practical means of food preservation.
In January, the last peppers in the greenhouse were also discontinued. Ji Cha counted and produced a total of more than 100 catties of chopped peppers. The dried peppers dried in the sun and eaten at ordinary times were not counted in it.
The radishes are also harvested early, some of them use preservation methods to extend the fresh shelf life, some of them are dried into shredded radishes for longer preservation, and a small part of the radishes are made into kimchi for eating.
And the new batch of grain planting is not limited to the interior of the factory building. In fact, there are hundreds of square meters of small vegetable fields in the back of the factory building, and most of the vegetables are no longer planted. The original farmland area is reserved for factory use, for food processing such as soybean products.
During the past two months of reclamation, the farm's fields have been divided into an area sufficient for the planned population of 10,000. Although it is the slack season, Ji Cha is not prepared to let this period go. Planting of frost-resistant grains.
After such a period of time, the chicken farm has bred five batches of chicks, and the chicks bred in the first wave have basically the size and size of adult chickens. There are currently 300 chickens of various sizes in the breeding factory, and it won't be long before the first batch of chickens can be bred. At that time, the chicken farm will be truly on the right track.
And the breeding speed of the meat rabbit is indeed as crazy as in the description, and the cubs born before have grown up. The piglets are the same, but they are not comparable to the chickens in terms of quantity. But once the piglets reach a large scale, pork is undoubtedly the most important source of meat for the base.
Years ago, when Ji Cha was happily thinking about when the resources he had would be able to maximize their benefits, the army gave him another surprise.
When they went outside to patrol and search, they brought back a dozen sheep from a dilapidated breeding factory. Therefore, the workers in the breeding factory are zombies, wandering outside the breeding farm, isolating those who want to get close to try their luck. Most people just assume that even if there are creatures in the farm, they will be killed and eaten by zombies, but they did not expect that the quality of the fences in the farm is surprisingly good, and the feed inside is also very sufficient. Not only did a dozen sheep not turn into zombies , still alive and well.
That is, rams and ewes are in different pens, so the number of rescued is not equal. Seven rams and five ewes. Ewes meant breeding, of course, the more the better, but under the current situation, Ji Cha didn't feel any dissatisfaction.
The lamb is amazing, he is full of treasures. Not to mention that goat milk can be drunk, mutton can be eaten, and the wool on the body is also an excellent textile thermal material, and the horns and hooves of sheep have countless functions.
But in general, what Ji Cha wanted most was cattle. It is best to have some dairy cows and yellow cattle. Dairy products are really important. With milk, there are more things that can be processed, not to mention that beef is also an excellent meat, and cows are also an excellent companion in places where machines cannot be farmed.
After hearing Ji Cha's thoughts, Zhao Tiankuo patted him on the shoulder, "You'd better see if you can get some goat milk first, and I'll send someone to find you cows."
"I know," Ji Cha laughed, he knew that this kind of thing can't be rushed, "One step at a time."
From the beginning of the end of the world to the present, almost half a year has passed, and everything finally began to look like saying goodbye to the panic and getting on the right track. And the first new year after the end of the world is just around the corner.
