Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 33

Chapter 33, Fast Track Development

In Gu Hang’s plan, Feidong Society is intended to be the heavy industry production center of his territory. The location there is good, it is close to the garbage town, which is the future raw material and energy production area, and it has a certain amount of mineral resources.

The production line of alloy plastic steel is there. Later, when the merchant named Denison Henry brings back the unit that uses hot limestone to generate electricity, Gu Hang will also build a power plant in Feidong Society.

With the development of the heavy industry and energy industry of Feidong Society, the labor force of only 800 people is definitely not enough. Gu Hang has continuously arranged the workers who were originally expanding the camp and building the “airport” in the Governor’s Camp to Feidong Society to meet the manpower needs of the alloy factory there.

But this manpower pool always has a maximum limit, and the Governor’s Camp itself also needs people.

Production requires people, and military expansion requires people. Gu Hang’s current demand for manpower is very high. Absorbing population from outside is inevitable, which is also his special request to Denison Henry, asking him to find a way to publicize and attract population.

Of course, those refugees recruited from outside Fuxing City are not necessarily qualified industrial population.

Not to mention refugees, even the people of Feidong Society and the former slaves brought down from the starship are not very qualified.

Literacy rate is a big problem. Illiterate people may be able to do hard labor, but it is difficult to grow further into skilled workers.

But this is a solvable problem. Gu Hang has requested that night school classes be held in Feidong Society, including his direct camp. The first step is to do literacy work, and then do some basic skills training, experience summary and teaching.

There are indeed many people in Feidong Society who are willing to learn and make progress. There is no

need to worry about these people. As long as they are given the opportunity, they will work hard to move forward.

But not everyone is motivated.

Now they can live on the surface, without worrying about safety issues, they can have enough food, clothes to keep warm, and I heard that there will be electricity and heating in the future… Such treatment is enough to make them satisfied.

There is no motivation to improve.

Gu Hang definitely doesn’t want this.

If I don’t work hard, how can I expand production and rebuild the world?

In this regard, Gu Hang came up with a trick: the work allocation system.

Work is settled in work points, and work points determine the ration of materials and welfare. If you want to eat well, live well, dress well, and even let your closest family members live a good life together, then you have to work hard.

In addition, at the worker level, some technical job categories are opened. If you pass the examination and become a technical worker, the work allocation you get will be much higher than that of normal workers.

The requirement to become a technical worker is to study hard.

In addition, although you won’t get work points for going to school, you will be provided with a dinner, and you don’t have to spend rations, which is not bad.

With both visible and tangible upward motivation and a tangible increase in food rations, the night schools held in Feidongshe and the Governor’s Camp have been widely welcomed.

On the contrary, the teachers are not easy to deal with. At present, we can only let the few literate servants from the Quintet starship serve as teachers; the so-called professional skills transfer is simply the experience and tricks that the few smart workers have formed in their work during this period of time, summed up and spread. If

the teaching staff is insufficient, there is no way to teach excellent students.

Gu Hang himself understands this point, and under limited conditions, he can only do his best.

As for the work points mentioned earlier, Gu Hang originally considered whether to make a currency.

The circulation of goods in the wasteland is very chaotic. There are currencies, too. The alliance has issued the Renaissance Coin, and several major forces have also issued their own currencies. But these currency systems are not only chaotic, but also troublesome to exchange with each other. Even some distant gathering places may not recognize a certain currency.

The most popular way of trading in the wasteland is still the very primitive barter.

Gu Hang’s forces are not large enough for the time being. It takes a lot of effort to promote a set of currencies by himself. If other currencies are used, it is easy for others to overwhelm the internal volume.

So he simply did not make a currency for the time being, and made a set of “work points” that are only used internally as a means of incentive.

Participating in production to obtain work points; consuming work points to obtain housing and rations is already a simple prototype of currency under the planned economy.

Gu Hang did not intend to continue to engage in the planned economy, but the proportion would definitely be very large. In Gu Hang’s thinking, the method of concentrating forces to accomplish major tasks is a very successful experience in the development stage.

If the goal of Feidong Society is to develop into a heavy industry center, then Gu Hang’s positioning of the Governor’s Camp is a transportation hub and a light industry center.

Transportation is not mentioned much. The core work is to connect with the great treasure house in the sky, the Quintet. When Gu Hang selected the site for the camp, he found such a flat and unprotected place, and the core was for this matter.

The textile machine and related technology that Gu Hang asked Denison Henry to purchase are part of the light industry planned by Gu Hang.

In addition to textiles, there is also the food industry.

The synthetic starch manufacturing machine shipped from the Quintet has been started under the guidance of the technicians who came down with the ship. At the same time, the new synthetic starch production line is also being built, which mainly relies on some parts shipped from the starship at the same time.

The alloy factory of Feidong Society has also received orders to make some qualified parts according to the requirements of the technicians; some parts that really require higher craftsmanship and materials, Gu Hang will produce them through the finished black box of alloy plastic steel.

Of course, there are still some core components that cannot be produced by the current industrial capacity under his power. The technician who came down from the starship is trying to overcome this part of the technology at the request of the governor to see if there is any way to achieve it.

There is still hope. The industrial base here in the governor’s camp started from scratch, but it has developed very quickly, mainly because of the very powerful material black technology. Even if the alloy plastic steel produced by the waste cave society is not good enough, the alloy plastic steel directly made from the finished black box is the best of the best.

However, before the technology is conquered, the scale of the synthetic starch production line cannot be further expanded.

However, despite this, the current production capacity alone is enough.

As long as there are enough raw materials and the production line is running at full capacity, it is more than enough to ensure that all the people under Gu Hang are well fed. There is even a considerable amount of surplus production capacity, which can be used to store food and even export sales.

Gu Hang’s many ideas are waiting for Denison Henry to bring back the first batch of goods and the first batch of people before they start to get on track.

The businessman from the garbage town did not let him wait too long and came back soon.

The population and materials were all “swallowed” by Gu Hang’s forces.

The two major industrial centers, together with the Mantan River Valley Manor, which was gradually recovering agricultural production, the overall productivity of the Governor’s forces began to enter the fast lane of rapid development.
