Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 212

Chapter 212, Ten consecutive draws at level 1000!

As for technology cards, Gu Hang’s first choice is definitely the 1000 level.

The 10-yuan store and the 100-yuan store are no longer considered. The two prize pools have been drained, and the remaining delivery probability is too low, which is not cost-effective.

At present, the delivery probability of the 1000 level is 40% for the basic level, 30% for the advanced level, and 20% for the elite level.

There is also a 10% chance that you will get nothing if you are unlucky.

Gu Hang’s first three shots were not very lucky.

It didn’t get nothing, but it didn’t burst either. One advanced level and two basic levels.

The advanced level technology is the [Lion Tank].

Gu Hang smiled at this reward.

This is the armored force that the Star Army has been equipped with for a long time. It is a real tank, which is completely different from the old “Challenger” imported by the old Alliance Army.

Although, the Lion Tank can only be regarded as a light tank in the armor sequence of the Star Army.

But light tanks are also tanks, with heavy armor and powerful firepower.

The armor of the Challenger tank can be penetrated by the Space Marines’ bolters, but the bolters are just a tickle to the Lion tank.

Even heavy bolters and plasma guns can’t threaten the tank from the frontal armor. The 155 howitzers

currently equipped by the Alliance are just a tickle to the Lion.

In terms of offense, it has a 125-caliber kinetic main gun, which uses railgun technology and can be replaced with plasma guns; it is equipped with two heavy bolter coaxial machine guns; it has active smoke screen defense and special ceramic steel armor defense…

Such a king of land warfare is not comparable to the Wanderer armored vehicle.

The reason why the Astra Militarum is called the “Hammer of the Empire” is that its strong armor capability is the core. Without these heavy tanks, how can the Astra Militarum, with its human flesh and blood, fight against those monsters in the universe?

And now, the Alliance Army finally has a real tank!

Moreover, Gu Hang calculated that the Alliance has the ability to directly pull the production line to produce the [Lion Tank]. The basic ceramic steel and grinding stone engine have these production capabilities. And the main gun on it, according to the technical blueprint of the Lion Tank, the Alliance is also capable of replicating it and pulling out a separate production line.

This can even optimize the Alliance’s own artillery technology.

It is just that it is unrealistic to replace it with a plasma cannon, because the Alliance cannot produce it now, unless it chooses to produce plasma cannons as accessories when using black boxes to directly produce the accessories of the Lion Tank, but the output is too touching.

But there is no need, the railgun and heavy grenade gun are already powerful enough weapons.

The two basic-level technologies are two production technologies, namely [superconducting power grid] and [basic engineering machine].

Both of them are infrastructure technologies.

The former, as the name suggests, is a type of technology for building power grids. Compared with the traditional power grid construction technology currently used by the Alliance, the main highlight is low loss, strong load, and convenient wireless charging.

The latter is a kind of engineering machinery. By configuring different supporting equipment, it can be used as an excavator, a road paver… a variety of engineering machinery.

These can be used for other purposes, but Gu Hang saw that most of them are used for some basic projects, such as laying roads, railways, and tracks.

These two types of infrastructure technology are very important.

With the growth of the scale of land controlled by the alliance and the growth of population, some infrastructure construction has become insufficient.

The most intuitive point is that the alliance’s current transmission network will only cover the Fuxing Twin Cities and Garbage Town.

For example, other settlements in the three central provinces have not yet been connected to electricity, let alone the more distant Beiqinggu Province.

There is no technology to build a power grid, but it takes time to build it, and a large part of the alliance’s current energy is placed on other places that need to be developed.

The power grid has been shelved .

After all, except for the twin cities, the productivity of other small and medium-sized settlements is very weak, even if they are preserved as much as possible, and the value of quickly connecting them to electricity is actually not that high.

The same is true for the road network and railway network.

But this is obviously not a long-term thing.

Gu Hang is not really planning to build a super metropolis in the whole world according to the model of some nest worlds.

Super cities certainly have their own significance. More dense populations and more dense industries will play a greater clustering effect.

However, agricultural production areas in the Beiqing Valley area and raw material industries in the eastern provinces that recycle the ruins of pre-war cities are all indispensable.

Now, if you want to transport, you have to rely on iron ox trucks to drive back on muddy roads, dirt roads, and gravel roads.

Although it is much more reliable than the bull carts that relied on animal power in previous years, it is actually not fast enough, at least for an industrial system, it is too insufficient.

What’s more, Gu Hang is not really just concerned about the development of the two cities.

He calculated based on the production capacity of the entire alliance. Although this year’s taxes are no problem, future taxes can also be offset by putting troops into the Star Army Corps that will be established, but looking at the actual productivity alone, the annual GDP of the alliance is only 12 million tax coins.

Gu Hang has to bear the tax of 5 million tax coins per year for the 50 million people on the planet.

If he didn’t have the military training ability given by the system to cheat and the Star Army Corps to act as additional help, his life would be extremely miserable.

If he took out 5 million taxes from the annual output value of 12 million tax coins, then the people under his rule would not be much better than the people living in poverty.

Of course, there are still some other objective factors.

He has 14 million people under his command, and the planet has not been unified yet, and there are still a lot of human resources that have not been assigned to him.

But there is also another problem. The development level of various regions in the alliance is too different.

The heavy industrial zone of Weixing City can reach an annual output value of 1.6 tax coins per capita; Fuxing City only has 1.02.

These two are still positive, reaching the amount when the imperial standard tax was formulated, that is, the total value of production per person per year is regarded as one tax coin.

But other places can’t reach one at all.

There is still a lot of room for improving production efficiency in various places in the alliance.

If you want to be rich, build roads first.

The extensive power grid can deliver the power from the reactor built outside the city of Renaissance to every part of the alliance without loss and at high load.

The well-connected road and rail transportation will greatly improve the efficiency of material transportation.

Roads are the blood vessels of industry, and this is not nonsense.

We have to connect all places, so that the developed industrial system of Weixing City can better drive the development of all other towns; at the same time, more developed roads, railways, and energy transmission lines will also feed back to Weixing City, the industrial center, and develop to a better level.

This is what the Alliance Development Department originally planned to do next.

And the two new technologies drawn will undoubtedly accelerate this process very quickly.

Gu Hang expects that the output value of Weixing City’s industrial core will be further improved as a result; he also expects that the development of other regions of the alliance will benefit from the sufficient logistics and energy, and thus have a substantial increase.

…

After the first three hands of harvest, Gu Hang’s luck got better. In

the next seven hands, he won two elite levels, two advanced levels, and three basic levels.

The three basic levels are [Construction Engineering Machinery], [Agricultural Machinery Technology], and [Mechanical Servant Transformation Technology].

I won’t mention the construction engineering machinery, which is a major benefit.

There is a lot of waste to be rebuilt everywhere in the alliance. Even Weixing City, which is already a decent industrial center, is constantly building new houses.

After the population has increased significantly, the construction of residential areas, factory buildings, and various public facilities…

The construction teams of the alliance have always been the busiest group. In fact, they don’t have much time to build residential areas, and most of their time is spent on the construction of factory buildings.

Weixing City currently has a population of 1.6 million, but most of them don’t even have a simple board house to live in. Shanty towns built with some waste materials are scattered around the city.

This is definitely not okay.

Now, these people who have just escaped from the precarious life in other places may have a stable job, a stable food ration, and some extra allowances to buy some consumer goods that they didn’t dare to think about or see in the past.

However, as time goes by, people’s requirements for a better life will become higher and higher.

The improvement of housing conditions is a necessary part.

In fact, there are a large number of residential areas planned in Weixing City. At present, the entire city is planned according to the specifications of five million industrial population to plan various functional blocks.

It’s just that there have never been enough construction teams to build.

Now, with a series of construction engineering machines, the efficiency of each construction team will be greatly improved, and this problem should be solved.

The same is true for [agricultural machinery technology].

Tractors and supporting equipment such as ploughing, sowing, weeding, fertilization, harvesters, balers… This series of agricultural production machines came at the right time.

Beiqinggu Province will need these agricultural machinery very much.

Their appearance will directly transform the manual farming and animal farming methods of Beiqinggu Province for many years into mechanized agricultural production.

Beiqinggu Province, the theoretical maximum per capita land area, has reached 500 acres; it is estimated that about one-fifth of it is arable land.

In the past, this was just a theoretical value. A large amount of land was jungle and could not be used; the looters and deformed monsters that were always outside were threats, and small farms could not survive; the exploitation of plantation owners bound the population to limited land… But

now, all these situations have changed. A large number of jungles have been razed, and those that have not been razed are waiting to be razed; the threat of looters and deformed monsters has been basically eliminated; the class of plantation owners has been eliminated, and replaced by local officials of the alliance, who eat the alliance finances rather than the surplus value of the land.

Although corruption is inevitable, and a lot of land may not be used… But in general, it is very likely to open up more farms and farmland.

Eight million people, corresponding to three million square kilometers of fertile land, that is a vast land with few people. It is definitely impossible to cultivate it by normal manual planting.

This must be mechanized and large-scale planting.

When agricultural production is fully mechanized, with the natural conditions of the Qinggu area, it will no longer be a dream for everyone there to live an idyllic life.

Maybe it will be realized in the next two years.

A family of four to five people can have two or three laborers, contract a thousand acres of land, become full-time farmers, carry out fully mechanized production, and plant high-yield seeds imported from my cousin’s merchant ship. The annual grain output of the land may reach 50 tax coins; even if the empire is a little bit evil, the price of grain sold in the market is much different from the purchase time, it is at least equivalent to 20-30 tax coins.

If the Beiqinggu Province is currently assessed to have 1.2 billion acres of arable land, if all of it can be used, it will be an annual output value of 60 to 30 million tax coins!

This grain output alone can not only feed all the people on the entire Angry Owl Star, but also have enough surplus to pay the imperial tax for the entire planet. Even after paying the tax, there is still a large amount of surplus that can be stored, can be given to the empire in exchange for tax coins, and can be used for interstellar trade.

Food is a serious hard currency in the entire star sea.

In fact, Gu Hang had been thinking about this for a long time. Even if he didn’t win the agricultural machinery technology in the lottery, Gu Hang would have his two technical officers, Wu Jiarong and Hu Ke, go all out to conquer the relevant technology.

This is really a big deal!

And this time, he won the lottery directly, which is definitely the best.

It saves Gu Hang from waiting for them to develop it.

He can use it directly.

As for the last [Mechanical Servant Transformation Technology]…

Gu Hang doesn’t think much of it.

It’s not that it’s useless. When he started, he used mechanical servitor soldiers. Although they don’t have much brains and can’t think actively, they are qualified soldiers, servants, and laborers.

But Gu Hang is not very interested in it.

The Mechanicus likes to use mechanical servants, but Gu Hang really doesn’t like it.

This technology only needs to be developed a little bit. In the future, it may be the same as the manufacturing technology of [Servo Skull], which is a punishment for criminals.

Let’s make the best use of death row prisoners.

For ordinary people, Gu Hang does not allow certain planets to appear, where living people can be bought and sold, and innocent people can be made into servo skulls or mechanical servants.

In his opinion, a living, normal human being creates more value than a robot servant.

As for the servo skull, this kind of biological computer and wetware does have high value, but there are relatively few application scenarios. Donations from death row prisoners, terminally ill patients, and elderly people who are about to reach the end of their lives are enough.

…

In addition to these three basic technologies, Gu Hang also drew two elite-level ones, namely [Warp Identification System] and [Starport Blueprint]; and two advanced-level ones, namely [Reflector Orbital Air Defense System] and [Chainsaw Sword Technology].
