Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 17

Chapter 17, I want an explanation

About 100 kilometers north of the abandoned cave community, it is almost in the scope of the high wall ruins.

It was a core city before the disaster era, and now it has become a ruin. Waste energy storms, mutant monsters, green-skinned orcs… Whether it is the environment or the things that live in it, they are all huge threats to humans.

However, the huge city ruins also buried the wealth of the pre-war era.

The garbage town is next to the high wall ruins.

At first, the scavengers established this gathering point as a supply point and trading place when they went to the high wall ruins for exploration and excavation.

Later, it continued to develop and eventually formed a town of considerable size.

There is no central government or ruler in the garbage town, but merchants called “agents” control the situation, forming a social structure of agents-caravans-adventurers and mercenaries-scavengers. Armed adventurers conquer and guard resource points, scavengers enter to dig resources, caravans purchase and sell resources, and agents sit behind the scenes to control everything and control the business.

The garbage picked up by the scavengers will be processed into various raw materials mainly composed of metals, which is also the main output of the garbage town.

Another major output is energy.

Here we have to mention the “waste energy storm”, the most terrible disaster on the angry star.

The so-called waste energy storm is a huge trauma left over from the war. In the sweeping strong wind, high-density waste energy will be set off – the energy effect left after the psychic energy burst. This energy cannot be used under normal conditions, but instead causes fatal damage to the human body, machinery, and electronic equipment.

Humans cannot survive in this environment, and even those mutant monsters spawned by waste energy dare not move in the core of the storm when the waste energy storm is the most intense.

The high wall ruins are one of the areas where waste energy storms are most frequent and intense.

But after the storm, there will always be some legacy left. The violent waste energy combined with some minerals occasionally produces something called “hot ash stone”. This thing is not the same as a high-density energy crystal block, but it can continue to generate high temperatures after ignition.

Then it can be used to generate electricity.

Raw materials and hot limestone are the two major outputs of Garbage Town.

Gu Hang still remembers that when Feidong Society produced ore in the past, it was basically sold to Garbage Town. They also wanted to sell it to the closer Fuxing City, but Fuxing City did not want the raw ore. And the nearest place with the ability to process raw materials is only Garbage Town. The price offered is low, which is one of the important reasons why Feidong Society did not have enough food before.

Let’s not talk about the past. What Gu Hang cares about is that Feidong Society is connected to Garbage Town.

Gu Hang made up his mind and asked Patel to contact Garbage Town.

If his direct territory is to continue to develop, it is indispensable to have sufficient raw materials and energy support.

As for the trading items, he had already thought about it.

Food.

Garbage Town does not produce food, they usually import it from Fuxing City.

What Gu Hang wants to create is that Feidong Society produces alloy plastic steel, and there may be other industrial products in the future, and transport them to Fuxing City for sale; buy food from Fuxing City and sell it to Garbage Town; buy raw materials from Garbage Town and expand production.

A good cycle!

The 100 tons of food he asked for from Fuxing City this time would be useful.

In addition to supplying the Governor’s territory, he planned to sell the rest to Garbage Town.

This batch of supplies would arrive in eight days, and Gu Hang waited patiently.

During these eight days, two pieces of news came, one good and one bad.

The good news was that the value of the monthly fixed gift income was rising rapidly with the large-scale production of alloy plastic steel launched by Feidong Society.

[Current Gift Points: 1]

[Monthly Fixed Income: 12]

[Governor’s Camp: 8/Terra Month]

[Abandoned Cave Society: 4/Terra Month]

Doubled!

The population of both territories did not increase much. The main change during this period was the improvement in the productivity of alloy plastic steel. The increase in Abandoned Cave Society from 1 to 4 should be a reflection of productivity.

The improvement in the Governor’s Camp should also be a reflection of productivity improvement. The difference is that Abandoned Cave Society relies on two installed smelting furnaces, while the Governor’s Camp relies on two black box manufacturing machines. Although the output of alloy plastic steel is not as good as that of Abandoned Cave Society, the quality is much higher, and two smelting furnaces have been produced.

In short, expanding production must be a good thing. Not to mention the things produced, the increase in monthly fixed income within the system is also valuable.

Gu Hang hopes to try to increase the monthly fixed income before the distribution of this month’s gift points.

We can find ways to increase population, open up trade routes, expand production… In the past few days, in addition to inspecting the training of the soldiers, he has been thinking about these plans.

However, on the seventh day, he got bad news:

…

“The goods were robbed?”

Gu Hang asked the man in front of him with a gloomy face.

The man cried bitterly: “Yes, we set out from Fuxing City with 30 carts of supplies. When we were about to arrive, we planned to take a break before continuing. Everyone was sitting on the ground singing, and hundreds of looters jumped out and robbed us!”

Why didn’t we eat hot pot by the way?

Gu Hang sneered and said, “There is no goods left, and no casualties. Are the looters in the wasteland so kind now?”

“It’s not that there are no casualties! Governor, look at my nose! A butt of a gun hit it down, and the bridge of my nose is broken!”

The man was still talking, and his voice became smaller and smaller as he saw the governor’s face getting worse and worse. He began to feel a sense of majestic oppression, filling his heart, as if a mountain was about to come towards him.

He spoke again with difficulty: “We surrendered. The people who robbed us didn’t seem to be simple bandits or wasteland looters. I know two of them. They seemed to be mercenaries lurking around the outskirts of Fuxing City. We were also very scared at first, but after we surrendered, they did not kill any of us, but just took the ox cart away.”

Having said that, he paused, and continued: “I suspect that when we set out, someone saw the supplies we were transporting. Those mercenaries, blinded by greed, did not dare to take action near Fuxing City, so they followed us all the way…”

Gu Hang interrupted him: “You said you were robbed fifteen kilometers away from my camp?”

“Yes.”

“You are few in number and don’t have enough guns. You surrendered after they surrounded you. Then the looters didn’t kill you, but just took the goods away?”

“Yes.”

“Okay.” Gu Hang was too lazy to say more to this man.

He left the temporary shelter where the transport team members who had fled in a panic were housed, called Yan Fangxu over, and asked him to take the twenty-odd Marines in the camp and the Feidong Company that had completed their training to go out and investigate the situation at the scene and try to track down the robbers.

He himself returned to the house and asked his follower Zhang Chao to connect him to the communication of Hodgson, the chairman of the Fuxing City Council.

“My goods were robbed, and I want you to give me an explanation.”
