Chapter 181 Strong as a Pyramid
In the early morning of the next day, the flag of Fishbone was hoisted on the roof of the Shenxiang Town Office, announcing that this place was officially included in the territory of the Fishbone Base.
Under the supervision of 20 riflemen, more than 200 survivors came to the Taipu River carrying cement bags and steel bars. Under the leadership of more than 20 engineers sent by Fishbone, they will build defense facilities along the river.
Although they were still forced to do manual labor, Jiang Chen treated them much better than mutants. Not only did they distribute the winter clothes bought from the sixth block, but they didn't use whips to drive them. As long as you are not lazy, no one will be punished and starved for not completing the project.
When facing Shenxiang Town, Jiang Chen adopted a completely different strategy from the one used to win over the survivors in Qingpu District.
Because it is located outside the city, the density of zombies here is extremely low, far less than that in Wanghai City. After more than ten years of hard work, all the zombies in the town have been cleaned up. It can be said that they have lived very comfortably all these years. Compared with the survivors struggling in the city, their combat effectiveness is much lower, and the difficulty of recruiting is naturally much smaller.
For example, the survivors in Shenxiang Town are farmers with hoes, while the survivors in Qingpu are hunters with guns. For the scattered "hunters", Jiang Chen's strategy is to trade, then win over, and then assimilate. For these "peasants", his strategy is to directly recruit them by force.
All survivors implanted with enslavement chips were directly promoted to management, and the infrastructure construction was handed over to the newly joined more than 700 people. So far, the pyramid-shaped ruling structure has taken shape. Jiang Chen only needs to firmly control the people at the top of the pyramid, and naturally someone will worry about the things below for him.
In order to supervise the construction of the fortifications, Lu Huasheng personally led the team and rushed over.
The 200 survivors were divided into 20 teams. Each team is led by an engineer sent by the Fishbone Base, and is nervously constructing the fortifications.
On the other side, on the wilderness in the east of Shenxiang Town, more than two hundred survivors are working hard to reclaim the wasteland.
Here, I have to praise Jiang Chen for his wisdom. He always feeds "green food" to the survivors in his base. Regardless of whether he was out of this consideration at the time, it has come in handy now. If you eat that viscous nutrient mixture, you will urinate a lot, but basically you won't have a bowel movement for a long time.
Survivors who cleared the wasteland were stunned when they saw a truckload of dried manure being pulled to the side of the farm and piled up as a hill.
Planting mutated crops consumes a lot of soil fertility. However, using the flesh and blood of alien species or zombies as fertilizer would lead to an increase in soil pollution (toxicity), which naturally would not be considered for them who settled here. They usually buy industrial fertilizers from Sixth Street.
Supplementary soil fertility.
How precious is feces?
Jiang Chen didn't feel much at first, but felt that this thing had a great impact on hygiene. He didn't notice this problem until some survivors from Qingpu proposed to contract the sanitation work of their base.
In the wasteland, poop also seems to be worth a lot?
Wanghai City is located in a plain, and the nearby mineral resources are very scarce. Although nitrogen can be obtained through artificial nitrogen fixation technology. Potassium ore can also be extracted from seawater, but phosphate rock is not so easy to solve. The cost of extracting phosphorus from the body of mutant organisms or plants is not low, and the main cost of producing fertilizer in the Sixth Street District is on this phosphorus.
However, manure is easy to handle. It is rich in nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, and it only needs to be stirred into the ground to sprinkle seeds.
Under Jiang Chen's instruction, the area of the farm has also expanded from a hundred acres to a thousand acres. If all of them are used to plant camu trees, it is estimated that one hundred tons of camu resin can be provided for the fish bone base every month. In this case, it not only meets the industrial needs of the fish bone base. There is also an exit to the Sixth Street. According to the current price of 150 sub-crystals per ton, this farm will be able to bring more than 10,000 sub-crystals to the fish bone base every month.
And the rations of these more than 700 people, if it is based on 30 days a month. Each person has two nutrient mixtures per day, and if one nutrient mixture is calculated as 0.1 subcrystal, it is only more than 4,000 subcrystals.
As for those "expensive" food, after referring to Sun Jiao's suggestion, Jiang Chen decided not to supply those new survivors for the time being. As for the reason, it wasn't because Jiang Chen was stingy. Rather, it serves to solidify class consciousness.
It was different from those survivors who had implanted chips and sold them to Jiang Chen. If these precious foods are provided too casually, these "outsiders" will not be grateful. On the contrary, it will make them feel that it is too easy to come, and they may even have alienation.
After all, more than 700 foreigners were included this time. It is more than three times the population base of the Fishbone Base. And these 700 people are from the same group. If you want to enslave them to work, you only need to put their hands and feet in shackles. But if you want to "digest" them, you must first differentiate them.
It is also very simple to implement.
Seven hundred people, first split them into two parts, one part stays here, and the other part is brought to the fishbone base. Those who are brought back will enter the factory for production or enter the boot camp for training.
At the same time, Jiang Chen announced that each of them was a slave and could only receive two nutritional supplements per day.
But if someone has outstanding performance in the field of work, his status will be upgraded to an inferior citizen, and his daily ration will be upgraded to two nutritional supplements plus a piece of bread.
If you work harder and upgrade to a medium citizen, the ration will become two nutritional supplements, plus a pack of instant noodles.
For upper-class citizens, they can enjoy the same unlimited rations as those implanted with chips, that is, they are allowed to eat "big pot meals" in the cafeteria. Apart from not being able to enter management, they already enjoy the same civil rights as those implanted with microchips.
When there is an identity gap in their small circle, they will naturally be divided. In order to protect their interests, those promoted will naturally stand on Jiang Chen's side, safeguard his interests, and seek further promotion.
If there is a chance to climb up, most people will still choose to keep their own place.
In addition, in order to distinguish their identities, all survivors implanted with chips will be awarded the "Medal of Knights" to encourage their contributions to the construction of the Fishbone Base. In addition, the "slave chip" was renamed to the "honor chip". Although changing the soup does not change the medicine, it just changed the name. But Jiang Chen could clearly feel that after he promulgated this decision, those survivors who had been promoted to knights walked differently.
The sense of honor, if used well, can be more useful than those chips.
Of course, there is a premise here, that is, only when everyone can fill their stomachs, will someone pursue that illusory honor.
