403 It is better to make than to buy
When the ruling class begins to succeed the old and new, what should happen will definitely happen. Under Gao Qi's control, the city of sin will definitely not have any tragic things, but he will definitely not be soft-hearted when he should do it.
Wang Ke did everything. Although his transformation from a deserted mechanic to a general seemed a bit abrupt, he adapted well, and he still performed well from a general leading troops to a city manager.
The reason why he was okay, not that he performed well was because Wang Ke was just the beginning. He had experience in managing the Wasteland Army, but from managing thousands of people to managing more than 200,000 people as an occupying army, he performed well, but he was quite good.
By dark, the entire army of the Wasteland Army had completed its entry into the city, and the initial plunder of the City of Sin was rewarded.
A pile of gold was placed in front of Gao Qi. Most of it was Wang Ke's achievements, and a small part was the search results of Thomas' professional team. After all, most people could still see the form clearly and took the initiative to hand over the gold to save their lives.
"We have weighed it, and it is 122 kilograms in total. Our scale is not very precise, so it is less than a grams."
There is a lot of gold, but this relatively high demand is negligible.
Wang Ke took out another small bag and said, "There are 140 energy cores in it."
Wang Ke seemed a little excited because he had never seen so much gold or so much energy core in his life, but for Gao Qi, he valued too few energy cores more.
I opened the bag and took a look. There were energy cores of all colors inside, and it was shining with light, which looked very beautiful.
Wang Ke continued: "This city can only be said to be orderly, but its management is very chaotic. The previous urban management department did not even know the specific population. After our preliminary statistics and judgment, this city has at least 200,000 people."
Gao Qi said in surprise: "So many people?"
"Yes, at least two hundred thousand! And more than one hundred thousand are young people under the age of twenty-five, but these people are almost completely uneducated. In addition, Edie has ruled here for many years, basically... well, these people are deserted people, pure deserted people."
Gao exhaled and said, "Is there any good news?"
"There are good news. Although the population quality is not high, they are very...simple. We just promoted your excellence a little when accepting the city. They have firmly believed that you will protect the city and lead them to live a promising good life."
Gao Qi looked at Wang Ke in shock, and Wang Ke said seriously: "Here, they will take the initiative to deify you without even needing our guidance."
Wang Ke found more than 100 kilograms of gold, and Thomas's men found more than 40 kilograms. It is estimated that some more will be found tomorrow. However, the entire Sin City has about 200 kilograms of gold.
For a city with a population of 200,000, this is too poor, but if the city of sin is regarded as a larger gathering area for deserted people, it will be acceptable.
Today, with gold as the main currency circulation, Sin City is very poor, but Sin City has a complete and fully equipped army and a power plant with controllable nuclear fusion.
With controllable nuclear fusion, there is endless energy. With energy, farms can be built, which can enable a city to achieve self-sufficiency and carry out basic industrial production.
It is precisely with the army and energy that the City of Sin has left the category of large gathering areas. No matter how poor it is, it can be regarded as a city.
If another wall is built to block the alien beasts, then the City of Sin is a complete and fully functional city. However, the number of alien beasts here in the North American continent is rare and the level is not high, so there seems to be no need to build any walls in the City of Sin.
In this way, the City of Sin can carry out agricultural production throughout the Central Valley, plant some cash crops such as cotton, sugar cane, and tobacco, and then carry out basic processing to make them into cloth and sugar for sale.
You should know that most cities are self-sufficient now. For example, in Chaoxicheng, basic grain is provided through urban farms with full temperature control and light control. However, agriculture outside the city is basically impossible to carry out. Just the strange beasts that can be seen everywhere have turned agricultural production outside the city into an extremely dangerous task.
Therefore, if you get the City of Sin, as long as you are good at managing and as long as people work harder, you can develop in a few years or more. Unfortunately, the entire human race has not had a few years.
I picked up a gold bar casually. This was the only gold bar that Wang Ke had gained. It felt really good when I held it in my hand.
But money is money. Since gold is money, it means nothing if you don’t spend it.
"We want to carry out infrastructure construction, Mr. Wang, what do you think you need?"
Wang Mingyuan has already entered the city with the second group of teams. On this critical issue, Gao Qi wants Wang Mingyuan's suggestions.
"What you need, haha, too much, it depends on what effect you want."
Gao Qi thought for a while and said, "It's not long since we have. I don't want to turn the City of Sin into a fully functional city. I want to turn it into a... military camp, a super military fortress that is self-sufficient and exists in order to deal with the war on the doomsday."
Wang Mingyuan said without hesitation: "First of all, you need to get these people out of the ranks of blindness, and then you need to have the ability to be self-sufficient. If you have to deal with war, then there must be an arsenal. So the first thing is to build a steel plant, and raw materials can be recycled scrap steel, build a chemical plant, and build... In fact, there are too many things to build. When you are all built, human beings should be extinct. Then you also need to turn all blind into skilled industrial workers, but this takes more time, so believe me, self-sufficient is impossible."
Gao Qi looked at Wang Mingyuan helplessly and said, "It's really impossible?"
Wang Mingyuan shook his head and said, "Before the catastrophe, deindustrialization was completed here. What they could not do back then. After two catastrophes, do you want to quickly complete industrialization within a few years or heavy industry needed by military industry? What are you kidding?"
Gao Qi sighed and said, "I can only rely on buying it?"
"Yes, it's better to buy than to make. Although I believe in self-reliance and industrial development to build a country, it is necessary to determine the situation. Blind and hard work is purely a brain pit."
Gao Qi had a headache. He looked at the gold and said, "Thomas is still waiting to see what I gain. I originally wanted to buy production lines and machinery from Thomas, but now it seems that I can only buy them from him. Well, okay, I have to discuss business with Thomas again."
