Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Chapter 1988: A shocking grain production of 18 tons!

After Li Yu opened the event, Li Hang began to outline the conference agenda.

He stood to the side of the stage, holding a microphone, and said:

"Next, we would like to invite Li Hongda, Chairman of the Management Committee of the Dazhangshu Base, to give a summary report on the current development of the Dazhangshu Base."

Bang bang bang~
Amidst the applause, my second uncle brought the microphone closer.

Cough.

"Well, let me report on the current development of the camphor tree, covering five main aspects:"
1. Sustainable agricultural development; 2. Industrial and technological development; 3. Military development; 4. Population growth; 5. Infrastructure construction.

"Firstly, as of now, Dazhangshu has a planting area of ​​6 mu, mainly in greenhouses. After in-depth reforms and refined operations, the annual output has reached 18 tons."

"Currently, the main crops planted are sweet potatoes, corn, and potatoes. The yield of these crops per mu (a Chinese unit of area, approximately 0.067 hectares) all exceed 1,000 jin (a Chinese unit of weight, approximately 0.5 catties), with the average yield of sweet potatoes per mu exceeding 6000 jin (a Chinese unit of weight, approximately 0.5 kg)."

in fact.

Over the years, the greenhouses at the Dazhangshu base have undergone several reforms.

It's now highly intelligent, capable of automatically adjusting temperature, spraying water, and regulating the brightness of ultraviolet lamps.

With such meticulous operation, the yield per acre has been continuously increasing.

In addition, and most importantly, the grain crops were changed. After the second conference, the Dazhangshu base adopted the core policy of "strong yield and strong output" and reduced the grain crops with relatively low yield per mu.

Efforts have been made to strengthen the cultivation of grain crops such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, wheat, and corn.

If sweet potatoes are planted properly, some places could yield tens of thousands of kilograms per acre before the apocalypse.

Special times call for special measures. For now, let's not think about how good we can eat; let's focus on solving the problem of food and clothing. Therefore, it is very necessary to adopt high-yield grain crops as the staple food.

18 tons, even assuming an adult male eats 600 jin of grain a year, could support a population of 60.

600 jin of grain is quite a lot.

For example, during the most difficult period in the country before the apocalypse, the annual food consumption of an adult was about 180-240 kilograms (raw grain).

However, 600 jin is just an average, after all, there is always a gap between the rich and the poor.

In the trading market of the oil city, there are some survivors struggling at the very bottom, whose annual food consumption is only a little over 100 kilograms.

18 tons!

Upon hearing this terrifying number, the audience gasped in shock.

Previously, they measured grain by the kilogram, then by the ton, and now it's directly measured in tens of thousands of tons.

"We have so much food, can we eat it all?"

"Of course we can finish it, and it might not even be enough. Don't you think about how many people live in Dazhangshu now? More than 50."

"Tsk, now that you mention it, it makes sense."

"However, I have to say, our greenhouse planting method is really amazing. Those greenhouses are incredible. They can withstand a category 10 typhoon, a super blizzard, and even hail. They're really sturdy."

"As far as I know, the greenhouses have been upgraded four times, all of which are lessons learned from each experience."

There was a buzz of discussion in the audience. My second uncle frowned slightly and stopped his presentation.

Seeing this, Li Hang immediately picked up the microphone and reminded everyone to "Quiet."

The crowd quickly quieted down.

Then my second uncle continued:

"Currently, the grain planting area in the Dazhangshu headquarters base is 2.5 mu, the oil city buffer zone is 2.5 mu, and the northern border is 1 mu."

"the second."

"In terms of industrial and technological development, the headquarters base has achieved a preliminary complete industrial chain, involving the completion of construction in four basic categories:"
1. Manufacturing plants transform raw materials into finished or semi-finished products through a series of processing steps. Examples include food processing plants and microelectronics repair shops.

2. Heavy industrial plants, possessing production capacity in steel, petrochemicals, and non-ferrous metals.

In the buffer city, factories such as steel mills, oil refineries, and cement plants were built.

3. Light industrial factories, including textile, papermaking, printing, and food processing factories, were initially built.

4. High-tech factories, particularly prominent in the new energy sector, have developed into battery factories and assembly plants.

"Especially recently, we obtained automotive manufacturing machinery and equipment from SAIC Motor in M, and we expect to start car manufacturing by the end of the year."

"Next, we will focus on developing new energy sources and fully promote the development of sustainable electric vehicles and helicopters. In the future, we will also open up railways to realize sustainable trains."

Industry is the core driving force of economic development, and its development will have a multifaceted impact on the power of Dazhangshu.

My second uncle's explanation was rather general and lacked detail, as this was, after all, a summary report.

Having learned from their previous experience, the audience was shocked, but dared not utter a sound.

After all, constantly interrupting the president is a bad habit.

Currently, the zombie generators have been assembled in the headquarters, oil city, and northern regions. Even in the northwest base, Zuo Ruxue recently transported the zombie generators there.

The truth will out eventually; although the zombie generator was strictly prohibited from being leaked.

But since so many people saw it, eventually more and more people found out.

Therefore, everyone in the audience knew about the existence of the zombie generator.

The emergence of this device can be said to have solved the problem of energy development in one fell swoop.

It is green, environmentally friendly, and pollution-free.

The quietness of the meeting room surprised my second uncle.

He looked up at the reactions of the crowd below and continued his report:

"The third."

"At the military level, the total number of combat personnel at Dazhangshu has reached 15400."

"Among them, the security department has a total of 4000 people."

"The operations department has a total of 2000 people."

"The People's Armed Forces Department has a total of 6400 people."

"There are a total of 3000 combat-capable personnel, including transport convoys and other types."

"In terms of weaponry and equipment: a total of 48 helicopters, including 7 permanent helicopters. Tanks: 46 vehicles."

Armored vehicles: 150

Explosion-proof vehicles: 160

Infantry fighting vehicles: 80

Military trucks: 1000 vehicles

Missile vehicles: 7

The stockpile of automatic rifles totals 150,000, semi-automatic submachine guns 30,000, and pistols 50,000, for a total of 250,000 firearms of various types.

There were 40 heavy artillery pieces, 300 mortars, and 150 howitzers. In total, there were 780 artillery pieces of various types.

The total stockpile of various types of artillery shells is 300,000 rounds, and various types of ammunition is 50 million rounds.

My second uncle reported on all the guns, ammunition, artillery, tanks, and other equipment currently in the entire camphor tree area.

The total number of personnel reached the size of a reinforced full-strength division, but the utilization rate of firearms was still less than 10%.

There were 250,000 guns, but only 15,400 combat personnel.

This situation is related to the large number of guns that the Great Camphor Tree forces seized after defeating the enemy. Whether it was the Northern Territory, the Northwest Base, the Western Alliance, or the Southeast Asian Fraud Park, the Great Camphor Tree forces acquired a large number of guns.

In addition, several guns were found in several military bases in Dazhangshu in earlier years.

This led to a surplus of firearms in the camphor tree region.

To maximize the effectiveness of these firearms, the oil city and headquarters base recently launched a firearms rental and purchase service.

Firearms can be provided to residents who are away from home, but there are certain requirements for purchasing firearms.

First, you must have been a member of the Big Camphor Tree faction for more than a month.

Secondly, you can rent a property by paying enough transaction points, and you need to provide proof of sufficient contribution points if you want to buy it.

Third, one gun per person; do not buy more.

In the post-apocalyptic world, guns are a form of hard currency.

Given the current strength of the camphor tree forces, there is no need to worry about a rebellion arising from the purchase of firearms.

After all, the number of guns sold is limited.

In addition, the core issue is ammunition; many people can afford guns, but not bullets.

offstage.

Zhang Tianfu looked at Chen Er beside him with some doubt and asked:
"Old Chen, I remember our Big Camphor Tree used to only have forty helicopters, right? How come there are a few more now?"

Chen Er rolled his eyes and asked in return:

"How do you think the Northwest Base was destroyed?"

"Oh, oh." Zhang Tianfu suddenly realized, "I almost forgot, we captured a few helicopters when we were conquering the Northwest, right? Oh, I see."

"There are so many armored vehicles and military trucks, but why do I feel like there aren't that many?"

There are hundreds of military trucks, tanks, armored vehicles, and blast-proof vehicles in total, totaling a thousand.

But in his memory, he only saw a few dozen to a hundred vehicles.

It might not look like much because they are scattered.

After all, the camphor tree's influence is now spread across four different locations.

Headquarters base, oil city, northern border, northwest.

In addition, there is also a small team of more than 100 people at the Wushi military base.

They also have armored vehicles and helicopters there.

On the stage.

Second Uncle continued his report.

"Fourth, population growth."

"The total population of Dazhangshu has reached 524950."

The total population of the headquarters base is 85600.

The population of the oil city is 430810.

The population of the North is 4240.

The population of the Northwest is 4300.

"Compared to a year ago, our total population has more than doubled, growing from less than 200,000 to more than 500,000. This is a huge improvement!"

Although everyone roughly knows that the Great Camphor Tree faction currently has 500,000 people, they do not know the exact number.

Hearing the number 524950 directly from Chairman Li's mouth, they were still shocked by it.

Five hundred and twenty thousand people!

For a small group surviving in the apocalypse, fifty people is considered a lot.

But the camphor tree's forces numbered a full 520,000, which was ten thousand times greater than theirs.

This number sparked a heated debate in the meeting room, but Uncle Er didn't care about them.

He adjusted the microphone and continued:
"Fifth point, regarding the construction of the foundation for the large camphor tree."

"As of now, the buffer zone at the Dazhangshu headquarters base has been basically completed according to the pre-set plan. Greenhouses, factories, and residential areas have all been built, and the commercial area has also formed a three-horizontal and three-vertical structure, with a newly built entertainment complex."

"Over in the oil city, the buffer zone is 40% complete, the greenhouses are basically finished, and residential housing construction is 20% complete."

"Only one grain warehouse has been built in the North in the last year, and nothing else has been built."

"In the northwest, reconstruction is currently underway in areas such as Wuyuan Mountain."
