Chapter 33, Fast Track of Development
In Gu Hang's plan, he planned to use the Feidong Society as a heavy industrial production center for his territory. The location is good, relatively close to the garbage town where raw materials and energy will be produced in the future, and it has a certain output of mineral resources.
The alloy plastic steel production line is there. Later, when the businessman named Denison Henry brings back the unit that uses hot limestone to generate electricity, Gu Hang will also build a power plant in Wastedongshe.
With the development of Huidongshe's heavy industry and energy industry, 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 the Wasted Dongshe to meet the manpower needs of the alloy factory there.
But this manpower pool still has a maximum limit, and the governor's camp itself also needs people.
Production requires people and army expansion requires people. Gu Hang's current demand for manpower is very high. It is inevitable to attract people from the outside. This is what he specifically asked Denison Henry to find ways to publicize and attract people.
Of course, those refugees recruited from outside Fuxing City are not necessarily qualified industrial population.
Not to mention the refugees, even the people from the Wasted Cave Society and the former slaves brought from the starship are not very qualified.
Literacy rate is a big problem. Illiterate people may be able to work hard, but it will be difficult for them to further develop into skilled workers.
But it's a solvable problem. Gu Hang has requested that night classes be held in the Feidong Club, including the camp directly under him. The first step is to do literacy work, followed by some basic skills training, experience summarization and teaching.
There are indeed many people in the Wasted Dong Club who are willing to learn and make progress.
These people don't need to worry too much. As long as they are given a chance, they will rush forward with all their strength.
But not everyone is motivated.
Now they can live on the surface without having to worry about safety issues. They can have enough food to eat and clothing to keep out the cold. I heard that they will also have electricity and heating in the future... Such treatment is enough to satisfy them.
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 resorted to a trick: the labor allocation system.
Work is calculated by work points, and work points determine the distribution of materials and welfare. If you want to eat well, live well, wear well, and even let your closest family members live a good life together, you have to work hard.
Moreover, at the worker level, some technical job classifications have been established. After passing the examination, if you become a skilled worker, your job allocation will be higher than that of a normal worker.
The requirement to become a skilled worker is to study hard.
In addition, although going to school does not give you work points, it is not bad to save money by taking care of a dinner without spending the ration.
There were both visible and tangible upward incentives and a tangible increase in food rations. Night schools in the Wasted Dong Club and the Governor's Camp were widely welcomed.
On the contrary, the teacher is not easy to solve. At present, we can only let the few literate people among the group of slaves brought down from the "Quintet" starship serve as teachers; the so-called professional technical teaching, to put it bluntly, this period of time Since then, some of the experience and tips gained by a few smart-minded workers among the workers have been summarized and disseminated.
If there are insufficient teachers, there is no hope of teaching outstanding students.
Gu Hang himself understands this. Due to limited conditions, he can only do his best. As for the work points mentioned earlier, Gu Hang had originally considered whether to use currency.
The circulation of goods in the wasteland is very chaotic. There are also currencies, the Alliance has issued Renaissance Coins, and several major forces have also issued their own currencies. However, these currency systems are not only chaotic, but also troublesome to exchange with each other. Even some distant gathering places may not necessarily recognize a certain currency.
The most popular method of trading in the wasteland is still very primitive barter.
The power under Gu Hang is not large enough for the time being. Issuing a set of currencies on his own would require a lot of effort to promote it, while using other currencies would easily be overwhelmed by others' sheer size.
So he simply stopped working on currency and created a set of 'work points' that were only used internally as a means of motivation.
Participating in production earns work points; consuming work points earns housing and rationing, which are already the prototype of money under a simple planned economy.
Gu Hang does not intend to continue to engage in planned economy, but the proportion will definitely be large. In Gu Hang's thinking, the method of concentrating efforts to do big things is a very successful experience in the development stage.
If Feidongshe's goal is to develop into a heavy industry center, Gu Hang's positioning of the Governor's Camp is as a transportation hub and light industry center.
There is no need to mention transportation. The core task is the connection with the "Quintet", the great treasure house in the sky. When Gu Hang was choosing a location for the camp, he found a place with flat terrain and no danger, mainly for this purpose.
The textile machines and related technologies that Gu Hang asked Denison Henry to purchase were 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 already started work under the guidance of the technicians who came down with the ship. At the same time, a 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 Huidongshe has also received orders to make some qualified parts according to the requirements of technicians. For some parts that require relatively high craftsmanship and materials, Gu Hang will produce them through finished black boxes of alloy plastic steel.
Of course, there are still some core components that cannot be produced by the current industrial capabilities under his power. The technician who came off the starship was trying to conquer this part of the technology at the request of the Governor to see if there was any way to achieve it.
Still very hopeful. The industrial foundation here in the Governor's Camp started from scratch, but it developed rapidly, mainly due to the very powerful black technology of materials. Even if the alloy plastic steel produced by the Wasted Dong Society is not useful enough, the alloy plastic steel produced directly from the finished black box is the best among the best.
However, the scale of the synthetic starch production line cannot be further expanded until the technology is overcome.
However, despite this, the current production capacity alone is quite sufficient.
As long as there are enough raw materials and the production line is running at full capacity to ensure that all Gu Hang's current employees can be fed, it will be more than enough. There is even a considerable part of the production capacity that can be used to reserve grain and even sell it for export.
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 can start to get on the right track.
The businessman from Junk Town didn't keep him waiting too long and came back soon.
The population and supplies were all swallowed up by the forces under Gu Hang's command.
With the two major industrial centers, together with the Manor in the floodplain valley, which was gradually resuming agricultural production, the overall productivity of the Governor's power began to embark on the fast track of rapid development.
