readx(); The next morning, the Fish Bones flag was raised on the roof of the Shenxiang Town Office, announcing that this place was officially included in the territory of the Fish Bone Base.
Under the supervision of twenty riflemen, more than two hundred survivors carried cement bags and steel bars to the Taipu River. They will build defense facilities along the river, led by more than twenty engineers sent by Fish Bones.
Although they were still forced to do manual labor, Jiang Chen treated them much better than the mutants. Not only were they given cold-weather clothing bought from the Sixth District, but they were also driven with whips. As long as they are not lazy, no one will be punished and starve because they cannot complete the work.
When facing Shenxiang Town, Jiang Chen adopted a completely different strategy from that of wooing the survivor groups in Qingpu District.
Because it is located outside the city, the density of zombies here is extremely low, far less than that in Wanghai City. After more than ten years of hard work, the town has been cleared of zombies. It can be said that they have lived a very comfortable life over the years. Compared with the survivors struggling in the city, their combat effectiveness is much lower, and the difficulty of collecting them is naturally much smaller.
For example, the survivors in Shenxiang Town are farmers carrying hoes, while the survivors in Qingpu are hunters with guns. For the scattered "hunters", Jiang Chen's strategy was to trade, then win over, and then assimilate. For these "peasants", his strategy was to recruit them directly by force.
All survivors implanted with slave chips were directly promoted to management, and infrastructure construction was left to the more than 700 new members. At this point, the pyramid-shaped governance structure has taken shape. Jiang Chen only needs to firmly control the people at the top of the pyramid, and people below will naturally take care of things for him.
In order to supervise the construction of fortifications, Lu Huasheng personally led the team over.
The 200 survivors were divided into 20 teams. Each team was led by an engineer sent from the Fish Bone Base and worked intensively to build fortifications.
On the other side, in the wilderness east of Shenxiang Town, more than two hundred survivors were working hard to reclaim the wasteland.
I have to praise Jiang Chen for his wisdom in always giving "green food" to the survivors in his base, regardless of whether he had this consideration at the time. It finally comes in handy now. If you take that kind of viscous nutritional mixture, your urination will increase a lot, but basically you won't have a bowel movement for a long time.
The survivors who were reclaiming the wasteland were shocked when they saw a cartload of dried manure being hauled to the edge of the farm and piled up into a hill.
Planting mutated crops depletes soil fertility significantly. Using the flesh and blood of alien species or zombies as fertilizer will lead to an increase in soil pollution (toxicity). For those who settled here, they would naturally not think about it. They usually buy industrial fertilizers from Block 6 to replenish soil fertility.
How precious is feces
Jiang Chen didn't feel anything at first, but he felt that this thing had a great impact on hygiene. It wasn't until survivors from Qingpu offered to contract the sanitation work at their base that he began to notice this problem.
In the wasteland, feces seems to be very valuable
Wanghai City is located in a plain. Mineral resources are very scarce nearby. Although nitrogen can be obtained through artificial nitrogen fixation technology and potassium ore can also be extracted from seawater, phosphate rock is not so easy to solve. The cost of extracting phosphorus from mutant organisms or plants is not low. The main cost of producing fertilizers in the Sixth District is on this phosphorus.
However, manure is easy to handle. It is rich in nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. You only need to stir it into the ground to sprinkle the seeds.
Under Jiang Chen's instructions, the farm's area expanded from just a hundred acres to a thousand acres. If all of it is used to plant Camu trees, it is expected that one hundred tons of Camu resin can be provided to the fish bone base every month. In this case, it will not only meet the industrial needs of the fish bone base, but also export to the Sixth District. According to the current price of 150 subcrystals per ton. This farm will be able to bring an income of more than 10,000 crystals to the fish bone base every month.
As for the rations for these more than 700 people, if calculated based on a thirty-day month, two nutritional mixtures per person per day, and one nutritional mixture of 0.1 sub-crystal, it would only be more than 4,000 sub-crystals.
As for the "expensive" food, after referring to Sun Jiao's suggestion, Jiang Chen decided not to supply it to the new survivors for the time being. As for the reason, it was not because Jiang Chen was stingy, but to consolidate his class consciousness.
Different from those survivors who had implanted chips and sold their bodies to Jiang Chen. If these precious grains are provided too casually, these "outsiders" will not be grateful. On the contrary, it will make them feel that it is too easy, and they may even have dissatisfaction.
After all, more than 700 foreigners were included this time, which is more than three times the population base of Fish Bone Base. And these seven hundred people are from the same group, if you want to enslave them to work. Just put shackles on their hands and feet. But if you want to "digest" them, you must first divide them.
The specific implementation is also very simple.
Seven hundred people, first split them into two parts, one part will stay here, and the other part will be taken to the fish bone base. Those brought back will go into factories to engage in production, or into recruit camps for training.
at the same time. Jiang Chen announced that each of them was a slave and could only receive two nutritional supplements a day.
However, if someone performs outstandingly in the work field, his status will be upgraded to a lower-class citizen, and his daily ration will be upgraded to two nutritional mixtures and a piece of bread.
If you work harder and upgrade to an average citizen, the ration will become two nutritional mixtures and a pack of instant noodles.
Upper-class citizens can enjoy the same unlimited rations as those with microchips, that is, they are allowed to eat "big pot rice" in the canteen. In addition to not being able to enter management, they enjoy the same civil rights as those with microchips.
When there is an identity gap in their small circle, they will naturally be divided. In order to protect the interests in their hands, those who were promoted would naturally side with Jiang Chen and protect his interests in order to seek further promotion.
If there is a chance to climb up, most people will still choose to stay on their own.
In addition, in order to distinguish their identities, all survivors with implanted chips will be awarded the "Knight Medal" to encourage their contribution to the construction of the Fish Bone Base. In addition, the "slavery chip" was renamed to the "honor chip". Although the soup is changed, the dressing is not changed, it is just a different name. But Jiang Chen could clearly feel that after he promulgated this decision, the survivors who were promoted to knights walked differently.
The sense of honor, if used properly, can be much more useful than those chips.
Of course, there is a premise here, that is, only when everyone can fill their stomachs, will anyone pursue the illusory honor.
