Chapter 141 New Technology and New Ideas

   "General, this is a recently researched drawing."

  Guo Yun ran to Tang Zheng's mansion sweating profusely, and presented three blueprints.

  During this period, Guo Yun was the busiest person. Not only did he have to study the law of the evolution of the corpse king, but he was also responsible for making maps.

  Fortunately, Tang Zheng assigned all the ten scientific research soldiers from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to him, otherwise he would be too busy to die.

   Moreover, Tang Zheng pressed hard to make the drawings, and he also rushed to work day and night, and finally produced three.

   Tang Zheng saw the three blueprints and took them with satisfaction.

  【Fresh water purification plant: The price is 50,000 gold. 】

  【Military camp: The price is 200,000 gold. 】

  【Vehicle modification center: The price is 500,000 gold. 】

   "Tell me, what are these three buildings used for?"

"General, this fresh water purification plant is very simple. It can purify fresh water. We have laid heating pipes, sewage pipes, and water supply pipes in Zhuguang City. However, the water in Fengming River is mineral water, which is not suitable for everyone. , The fresh water purification plant directly uses groundwater, and after purification, it becomes pure water, which can be directly transported to thousands of households.”

   Tang Zheng nodded, this is something used for people's livelihood, it is still necessary to build one.

  Now the population in the city is increasing, and tap water is not popular yet. Everyone goes to the Fengming River to get water, which gradually pollutes the Fengming River.

   Moreover, it is very inconvenient for Tangtang to go out. There are already many legends about the Fengming River monster in the city.

   "There is also the military camp. At present, it is very inconvenient for our soldiers to rest. They basically sleep in the sleeping bags distributed by the general. The soldiers need a home, so this military camp was built."

"I designed the barracks according to the number of troops. The maximum number of people in a barracks is 2,500 people, that is, a battalion covers an area of ​​100,000 square meters. There are school grounds, dormitories, shooting ranges, outreach training camps, garages, canteens, bathrooms and other buildings. "

  After hearing Guo Yun's introduction, Tang Zheng felt that it was not expensive.

  The barracks were to be set up in the inner city. One hundred thousand square meters sounds like a lot, but compared to the inner city which is close to five square kilometers, it can only be regarded as a very small part.

  But what Guo Yun said next surprised Tang Zheng a little.

   "General, you should use the drawing of the barracks carefully, because if you add troops next, you will be bound by the barracks. You can only buy as many troops as there are barracks, because soldiers also need shelter."

   Tang Zheng froze for a moment: "You mean, if I upgrade the Chasing Light Army to a regiment, then I will need a lot of barracks?"

   "Yes, General, assuming that the total number of our regiment will be 10,000 in the future, then you need to build four barracks."

  One barracks is 200,000 gold, and four is 800,000 gold, which is no small number.

  But Tang Zheng didn't think there was anything wrong with this, there had been no barracks before, so speaking of it, he treated the soldiers badly.

  Although there are some restrictions on the construction of the barracks, he also fully agrees that if the barracks cannot be built, then he would rather not expand the army.

  Thinking in his heart, he has already planned the location of some military camps in the inner city.

  In the future, he will definitely be promoted to regiment commander. Maybe four barracks are not enough. After all, according to the current configuration, five field battalions will need 12,500 people.

  Seeing the last building, the vehicle modification center, Tang Zheng asked Guo Yun.

   "What is this? The price is 500,000, which is much more expensive than the military camp?"

"General, this is a recent breakthrough made by our research institute. The acid-resistance technology and rust removal technology are all mechanically operated. As long as you build this transformation center, you can send some old vehicles into the workshop of the center. Within an hour, after an hour of remodeling, you can basically return a new car to you.”

   "Oh! There is such a technology?"

"That's right, General, I suggest that this center be placed in the inner city as well. Now in the entire Light Chasing City, including the Northern Territory, almost no ordinary survivors own vehicles. Only those adventurers, mercenary groups, etc. There are some jeeps and trucks, and they are often scrapped, and the shortage of vehicles is already a big problem. With this, we have a continuous source of wealth and can manufacture cars in large quantities."

  Hearing the prospect Guo Yun described, Tang Zheng was very moved.

  But he quickly thought of a problem: "Wealth. But now there is no currency that can be used in this area."

"General, I also need to discuss this with you. Our Zhuguang City is developing rapidly now, with a large influx of people, buildings are being built rapidly, and many projects are gradually being completed. It is estimated that before January, the Zhuguang City will have The buildings are all completed, and the total population may reach one million, which is close to the size of a small county before the end of the world, so I think we already have the basis for issuing currency."

  Hearing this, Tang Zheng didn't speak for a while.

  According to Guo Yun, there is nothing wrong with issuing currency on a small scale, but Tang Zheng thought about it a little more far-reaching.

  Because he knows that as time goes by, he will have to deal with the empire sooner or later.

  Han Yue has always been the exclusive right of the royal family to issue currency. If he issues currency, it is almost equal to walking on the opposite side of the royal family.

  Guo Yun here is not as far-reaching as Tang Zheng thought, and he was still talking endlessly: "General, there are rumors now, and the alliance is also planning to issue currency. We can't fall behind."

"We can produce cars at almost no cost, and we can also sell our guns and chariots. In addition, we have a technology that no one else has, that is, antiviral serum. These can be sold, and those who want to buy these For things, we can only use our currency. With such a good foundation, other forces will not be competitive even if they issue currency. Our currency will become a common currency. It is foreseeable that countless materials will flock here in the future. We will Is the richest..."

  Listening to these, Tang Zheng finally made up his mind.

   It is indeed a good opportunity to have no contact with the empire yet. As for the future, no one can say for sure.

  The closest to the City of Chasing Light is Liu Yibang's Fifth Imperial Army.

  The Fifth Group is stationed in Jingchuan County, Lianghe Province, about 1,300 kilometers away from Zhuguang City.

   But if you want to come here from Jingchuan, there is a place that you can hardly go around, and that is Hezhou City.

  Hezhou is a city with a population of 50 million, and now the number of zombies is almost 40 million. It is definitely not an easy task for the Fifth Army to come from there.

  So in a short period of time, it is impossible to border the imperial forces.

   It is estimated that if it is soon, it will be next spring.

  Thinking of this, Tang Zheng finally made a decision.

   "Get ready, I agree to this matter."

   "Good general, then my next drawing should be the banknote printing factory."

   Tang Zheng nodded, after making a decision, he didn't have so many worries, and felt relieved instead.

   "Any other mapping ideas?"

"Yes, the acid rain after the end of the world has caused most metals to be corroded, and many wires and lines, signal tower base stations, etc. can no longer be used. Our research institute is going to start from this aspect. The next step is to build the TV line in Chasing Light City first. Get up, and then connect with the surrounding area and build a TV station.”

   "TV station?"

"Yes, the TV station, and our line equipment, all have powerful anti-acid functions. When other places want to produce TV programs, I am afraid they will also come to us to purchase. These are also our currency future. Strong foundation."

  Hearing Guo Yun's three words about issuing currency, Tang Zheng also felt amused.

  It seems that these subordinates of mine have no awe of the empire and the royal family, and are only loyal to themselves.

  But Tang Zheng never intended to correct this kind of thing.

  Guo Yun left, while Tang Zheng was preparing to build a new building.

  Ning Yuwei drove a Willis, and took Tang Zheng to start looking for construction sites in the inner city.

   At the riverside location close to Fengming River, Tang Zheng chose the fresh water purification plant.

   Fifty thousand gold was thrown down, and the purification plant was built.

  Like the power plant, it has thirty workers.

  A large courtyard with good greening. There are two huge water towers 30 meters high and 50 meters in diameter, which can be recycled to ensure continuous water supply for the entire city.

  After the construction of the fresh water purification plant, Tang Zheng looked for a place to build a military camp.

   He definitely needs to build more barracks, but he doesn’t have much money at the moment, so he can build one first.

  Finally, in the southeast of the inner city, Tang Zheng built the first military camp.

   Tang Zheng thought it was a miracle that the huge military camp covering an area of ​​100,000 square meters was put out.

  Six dormitory buildings, enough to accommodate 2,500 people.

  The barracks has an electric gate with a width of 20 meters, and the driveway surrounds the barracks.

   There is a large school field inside, and outdoor fitness equipment such as running tracks, horizontal bars, and parallel bars are all available.

  And there is a shooting range near the city wall, allowing soldiers to practice marksmanship.

   There is also a canteen inside, and the cooking troops can be stationed at that time, and the soldiers don't have to eat and sleep outside.

  Tang Zheng deliberately entered the dormitory building to have a look. There were dormitories for male soldiers and dormitories for female soldiers, but they were not on the same floor.

  The dormitories are eight-person rooms with bunk beds. The interior is spacious and bright. The solid wood beds, internal kettles, bedding, etc. are all brand new.

  And each dormitory has its own shower room, and the facilities in the bathroom are relatively complete, comparable to ordinary hotels.

  Turn on the faucet, and the tap water inside is even connected. This is the benefit of building a fresh water purification plant first.

  The platoon leader has a separate room, and there is also a medical room in the dormitory building, as well as an indoor gymnasium.

  Leaving the dormitory building, each company’s dormitory has a garage downstairs, where vehicles can be parked.

   There is even an outreach training center here. The so-called outreach training is to simulate actual combat. The army can organize internal confrontations and conduct actual combat drills.

   After looking around, Tang Zheng became more and more satisfied.

   This is the life a soldier should have. He didn't treat soldiers well enough before.

  In the future, the soldiers of the Chasing Light Army will not only fight, but also have superior logistical support.

  Tang Zheng didn't feel bad at all when the two hundred thousand yuan was spent.

  But the next building will cost 500,000 yuan.

  Tang Zheng looked at the money in his hand, he collected a wave of funds after fighting the corpse group, the money in his hand rose to just over 2 million, and now it has dropped to 1.8 million.

   By the time the vehicle remodeling center is built, the money in hand will only be 1.3 million, and the gap between the upgrade team leader will widen.
