It's not just salt, there are vacancies in all aspects of the S base. The fish farming that Ji Cha has always wanted to expand has also been put on hold because S City itself does not have such an industry and cannot find corresponding technical personnel. If it is to refine farming, there are always many deficiencies.
Country C itself has a vast territory and abundant resources. In modern development, various cities have used their own advantages to form a network of mutual exchanges. It is a huge social network that promotes and supports each other's development. Many big cities themselves have huge advantages in economic development, but after the end of the world, they are separated from the resource supply of surrounding towns, and the population density is more serious, and they decline faster than rural areas.
The originally closely-connected relationship network was also cut off due to the advent of the end of the world, making each originally connected region become an independent island again. City S was nominally called a second-tier city before the end of the world, but it can't be compared with some real second-tier big cities. The only advantage is that it is located in the center of the province and the transportation is very convenient. The original development was also dominated by small private factories, but there were no particularly prominent projects, and the natural resources themselves were not rich enough.
Ji Cha followed his subordinates by car to drive around several important production areas of the farm all morning, and recorded all kinds of data, but he didn't finish half of the places in the morning. Seeing that it was time for lunch, Ji Cha felt that he would take a lot of money this day. I felt tight when I came to use it. I originally planned to have a casual meal for lunch, and continued to inspect after eating, but I didn't expect a guard to come over.
"Chief Ji, Captain Liang invites you to have lunch together,"
Ji Cha lowered his head and recorded the data: "You tell him that I won't go, he can eat by himself at noon, I'm very busy here."
"It seems that it's not just Captain Liang," the guard said a step closer, "Several people came outside this morning, they seem to be from other bases, and we had lunch together. Captain Liang specially asked me to come to you. I guess there is something I want to discuss with you. "
The pen in Ji Cha's hand stopped, and he thought for a while: "Okay, where did you get it?"
The guard grinned: "Come with me now, dinner will be served in a while, Captain Liang said that it is fine to eat in the office."
It is said to be an office, but it is actually the apartment that Liang Jincheng lives in now, with a desk on the outside and a bedroom where he lives with Ji Cha in the inside.
It took about ten minutes to ride a small e-Donkey from the farm. When Ji Cha got off the car, he took a look around. The door of Liang Jincheng's room was closed. Apart from the two guards who were usually there, there were also several faces standing at the door. People whose birth and clothing are different from those in the base. It is estimated that they are people from the base outside.
The guard opened the door for Ji Cha, and the aroma of the food inside spread out immediately.
Ji Cha paused at the door, then turned to ask the guard, "Have you eaten yet?"
The guards shook their heads.
"Then take a few guests to the cafeteria for a meal."
That's the way it is said, and the reasoning should be the same, but neither the guards nor the people in the base outside moved.
Ji Cha thought about it and understood. This is because both parties are afraid of what might happen in the house and dare not walk away. He then said, "Xiao Chen, go to the cafeteria to get some food."
One of the guards agreed and left quickly.
Only then did Ji Cha step into the door, and Liang Jincheng stood up, and introduced to the two people sitting in the room: "This is Ji Cha, who is in charge of the farm management at the base, Chacha, this is Ke Chenglei and Feng Xing, from the base in T City here."
"Hi, I'm Ji Cha." Ji Cha greeted the two of them and sat down beside Liang Jincheng.
But Ke Chenglei and Feng Xing did not expect that Liang Jincheng, who looks serious and difficult to get along with, and is obviously a master, would be like a spring blossoming after seeing Ji Cha, and call him Chacha
Their momentary stupefaction was caught in Ji Cha's eyes, and it was only later that he realized why the two of them had such a reaction.
Just now Liang Jincheng called him Chacha.
But at this time, Ji Cha was a little shy in his heart, and he couldn't say anything on the surface. He could only turn his head slightly and look at Liang Jincheng out of the corner of his eye, signaling him to restrain himself a little in front of outsiders.
The simple dishes on the table were actually worse than what they usually ate. I don't know if Liang Jincheng arranged them on purpose. But even so, Ke Chenglei and Feng Xing couldn't hide their surprise. The development of the base in City S was much better than they expected.
The base of T City is located in the coastal area, and has always been dominated by fishing, but there are relatively few lands suitable for agricultural planting, and there are few people who originally made a living from agriculture, let alone various livestock breeding. After the end of the world, although the base in T city has developed well, it is far from comparable to the base in S city. At least when Ke Chenglei and Feng Xing entered S base, they were completely touched by the planned buildings in the base and the mental outlook of ordinary civilians.
They intended to come here to learn about the development of the surrounding areas. Before coming to City S, they also walked through a few small bases. They thought that the base in City T was well developed, but they didn't expect it to be so small.
The base in T City lacked a lot of things, first of all, the staple food they lacked, which was the most important thing to be solved immediately. Now that they had the opportunity to sit down and have a meal and chat with the top commander of the city S base this time, Ke Chenglei and Feng Xing naturally would not fail to mention this.
Ji Cha also knows about the base in City T. Judging from the apocalyptic experience in his previous life, the base in City T is also a very competitive base. However, the exchange between the base in City S and the base in City T was a few years later than it is now. At that time, City T had already cooperated with other bases to solve the food problem, and City S would lose a lot of advantages in contacting them later.
Not only is there no shortage of salt in City T, but there are also many metal resources in the surrounding mountainous areas. All kinds of equipment in the original mining field are ready-made, and it will not be too difficult to recover. If we can reach a cooperation with City T now, we can not only take advantage of their current lack of leverage to obtain greater profits for our base, but also pay a smaller cost at the same time.
At the same time, Ji Cha also thought of a problem that he was having a headache recently, the fish farming technicians. There are not many professional fish farmers in City S, but there are many in City T. If we can really reach a cooperation and let T City temporarily send a few skilled personnel over, then Ji Cha's headache will be solved.
"On the premise of solving the rations of our own base, we can provide part of the food production," Ji Cha knew very well about how much food the farm could produce. Now the food production in the base has basically reached the stage where there is no need to worry, and in this Basically, he is still planning to open up another planting area, and it will not be difficult to "export" some of them by then.
"But it's not just salt. For the rest, I hope you can provide some personnel for technical exchange, which can promote the progress and development of the two bases. In addition, I know that T City is rich in metal resources. I also hope that in this regard we can A sustainable collaboration can be achieved.”
Ke Chenglei and Feng Xing did not expect that Liang Jincheng did not speak first, but Ji Cha spoke a long series first.
"Others are easy to talk about, but the metal mining is the truth," Ke Chenglei said. "At present, we have not restarted the work in this area, and we still focus on the basic development of the base."
This is also very understandable, after all, if food and clothing are not completely resolved, no one will have the energy to worry about other things. In addition, the population of the city T base is only 5,000, which is far less than the 20,000 people of the S city base, and it is difficult to allocate manpower to manage the mine.
"This is not a problem," Liang Jincheng said. "Our side can provide food, and the two bases can cooperate in the mining of metal mines, and the mined minerals will be distributed."
This is also a workaround.
Compared with various minerals that cannot be seen now, food is the most important thing for the T city base. Ke Chenglei and Feng Xing agreed almost without hesitation.
Feng Xing remembered the technicians Ji Cha mentioned just now, and asked, "I don't know what kind of technicians Ji Cha mentioned just now?"
"I hope to borrow a few technicians who understand fish farming from your base. At the same time, if you have any needs, you can also provide the technicians you need. If our base can provide help, we will definitely work hard to support it." Ji Cha said.
As far as seconding technicians, T city has nothing to borrow from S city at present. After all, even the most needed agricultural technicians are basically useless because they don't have the innate planting conditions at all.
City S and City T are about four hours' drive away. Although the distance is not far, the road is dangerous because there is a large number of zombies in an uninhabited area in the middle.
Now that an agreement has been basically reached, the two sides also agreed to control and deal with the zombies on this road to a certain extent, at least not to let them affect the transportation of resources on both sides.
Ji Cha remembered that before the apocalypse came, he had watched many TV movies with similar themes, and even many European and American games had the apocalypse as the background. As far as games are concerned, the biggest difference between netizens in country C and foreign players is that even in the doomsday environment, even if the theme of the game is basically that no one can be trusted, they can still trust each other in the environment of mutual competition and cannibalism, and use unity and unity to fight against each other. Allied with the trust of blood.
The base that has been in an isolated island has now begun to connect with the outside world, learning from each other's strengths and developing together.
Even in the last days, sooner or later, people will see the light of hope rekindled.
