Therefore, coal still plays a big role in Watch City. Of course, there is no need for heating, because the temperature in this area of the Black Sea is very high, and people here don't even have the concept of heating.
But after all, coal is still necessary for refining steel, although metal mines have not yet been found. But after all, it is a basic material for industrial development.
First of all, Gong Yun decided to build a thermal power plant for Watch City, which was also the starting project of the industrial base. Because only with electricity, many high-tech equipment can be put to use, and the efficiency of various productions can be improved. The use of machinery will undoubtedly save a lot of labor, which is equivalent to increasing the population in disguise.
There is another thing that Gong Yun is very happy about. He can see children playing on the streets of Watch City.
Year after year passed, the power plant finally lit up the Watch City, and some electrical appliances were also shipped from the Land of Hope.
There is no way, the technology on the Black Sea side has completely collapsed, and you must rely on the Kingdom of Hope to get started in industry.
It is easy for human beings to unite in difficult times, although a large part of these people were stolen by him. But life here is better, more stable, more comfortable and with better living conditions, and these people quickly returned home.
With the introduction of electric machinery, various industries have also developed rapidly. Gong Yun once again assigned a new task to build an airstrip.
This was a decision he made after discussing with the Country of Hope, because the efficiency of using aircraft to transport supplies is too low.
It is not easy to start from scratch. Gong Yun moved the workers who built the power plant to build the runway intact. This is also the first professional construction department in Overwatch City. The leadership of this department was given to Douli by Gong Yun. It is called the Construction Department, and Douli is the minister.
In any case, he is the supreme leader of a gathering place, so it is not appropriate for him to be a pawn all the time.
Douli is also very satisfied. Although the scope of the Ministry of Construction is not large, there are not many decent governing departments in Watch City today.
The Ministry of Construction was established, and Gong Yun established the Ministry of Education. To create a new generation, we need systematic education.
In the past few years, Gong Yun has not taken the initiative to attract humans, but there have been several groups of small tribes who have come over on their own, each with only a few dozen people. Although the number of people is small, it is still increasing, and Gong Yun has made proper arrangements for them.
The prospecting work has been going on, and many talents with special skills have been screened out among these people. In any case, it has only been a few years since the Black Sea Base was destroyed, and the generation from that time has not been completely replaced.
As Gong Yun expected, there was no civilization to hinder the development of Watch City. On the contrary, several more sneak attacks occurred in the Country of Hope. But basically it was all tentative, and they withdrew immediately after encountering an interception.
Compared with Watch City, the development of the Country of Hope excited Gong Yun even more. Qin Yao and Su Meng did not have the kind of ideological differences that Gong Yun was worried about, but they cooperated quite well.
First, they transformed the large aircraft into nuclear energy, then put the update of various weapons on the agenda, and also prepared for nuclear weapons experiments. The two of them were very busy.
There is also good news. According to the latest population survey, the total population of the Country of Hope has reached 90 million, and the population evacuation plan has also shown preliminary results.
This made Gong Yun feel happy but also a little disappointed. He felt that he really couldn't leave Qin Yao. Watch City has been established for several years and still looks dilapidated, just like a big village. Even the population base has not increased much.
There is nothing we can do about this. The current situation in Overwatch City is that there are few women, and it will not change much in another dozen or two years, because when newborns grow up, some people will also grow old.
In the eighth year after the establishment of Watch City, the first metal mine was finally found, but it was a bit far away.
This also means that if Gong Yun wants to mine, he must divert the small population and allocate part of the population to mine. After a few years of not attracting people in, he will have to divide it outside. This makes Gong Yun very helpless.
The most terrible thing is that no matter how Gong Yun increases fertility benefits, the birth rate cannot go up. It seems that it is difficult for people on this side of the Black Sea to get pregnant, even with drugs that increase the probability of pregnancy. It is completely impossible to achieve the effect of having one baby every year like in the Land of Hope. It is faster for a woman to have one baby every two years.
What limits the development of Overwatch City is still the lack of people, but there is good news. A medium-sized gathering place five hundred kilometers away from Overwatch City sent a messenger to request Overwatch City to pick them up, because they wanted to come but were unable to do so. Such a long distance migration.
The total population of this base is more than 3,000, and there are more than 1,000 women specially marked.
Gong Yun was a little dumbfounded. It was obvious that spies had come to his watch city. This was clearly a decision made after thorough investigation.
However, Gong Yun agreed very readily and asked Zou Zheng to take these people there in an aircraft. They would be responsible for air escort during the migration and provide some supplies.
This made Gong Yun notice a problem, which was still the problem of distance. Helicopters are currently the most suitable, but the premise is that Overwatch City is currently unable to manufacture helicopters. Even if they are shipped from City of Hope, what about the fuel problem? Pointed at hunting mutant beasts? But the people of Watch City can directly eat mutant beasts, unlike the Kingdom of Hope, which can only be used for transformation. There are not so many mutant beasts here.
This is really a mutant beast that succeeds or fails. The mutated beasts have suppressed mankind for hundreds of years, but now because there are too few mutant beasts, they cannot develop.
It is okay to rely on the Country of Hope to launch large-scale mineral prospecting operations, but what if it is found? No one!
Even if you grit your teeth and send a group of people there, what will happen to the produced ore? There are only 10,000 people in Watch City, and half of them are divided to build a steel mill? So isn't it a waste of time to gather so many gathering places over the years?
There is no way to develop without a mine, and if there is a mine, no one will exploit it. This makes Gong Yun very helpless.
In the distant City of Hope, Qin Yaozheng and Su Meng were lying on lounge chairs looking up at the stars on the top floor of the Heads of State.
There seems to be an impasse on the husband's side! I didn't expect that the population's reproductive capacity over there was so poor. Qin Yao sighed humorously.
Who can blame this? It is said that it is not allowed to go, but it must be done. This kind of semi-peaceful state is the most difficult to develop. Either it is more miserable or more prosperous, it can stimulate fertility. Su Meng stood up from the recliner and walked to the edge of the building with a drink in hand to admire the street below.
It makes sense. The Overwatch City is indeed in such a situation. It has a sense of crisis and can get basic living security. Under such circumstances, people's desire to give birth to a new generation is not strong. And he used the wrong method. When he completes his plan, you will probably... By the way, what color will your hair become when you get older? Will it turn white? Qin Yao smiled.
