Chapter 271 Transformation

Hunter calendar February 10, 1995.

After more than a week of purges, all the remnants of the elders' meeting and those with wandering abilities in Meteor Street were all arrested.

As for the remnants of the Council of Elders among those scavengers, Bamboo Rat and Oolong Tea didn't care.

Because such people are very few among the scavengers.

For Meteor Street, where people's lives are so precious, the scavengers cannot be said to be cold-hearted by nature, but the cruel reality has already turned them into insensitive, selfish, sinister and cunning.

For them, the downfall of the Council of Elders is not worth hating the Human Revolutionary Union. Now the scavengers are more concerned about how to survive in the future, and whether they will continue to maintain the previous model of picking up rubbish for Meteor Coins.

The answer is naturally no.

But Bamboo Rat didn't announce the plan to reform Meteor Street right away, because it was too hasty, and it would be easy to mess up.

The first is to excavate the Black Tree Mountain Range, which is also the easiest place to use at present. First of all, the Black Tree Mountain Range is in the hinterland of Meteor Street.

Unlike the Crow Cliffs in the north, the Poison Smog Swamp in the east, and the Salt Lake Desert in the west, these places are not the territory of Meteor Street, but the buffer zone between the surrounding small countries and Meteor Street.

Now there is only the Black Tree Mountains, and there is no border with the outside.

Coiled Rabbit and Angus brought hundreds of Meteor Street Nian ability users who were willing to surrender, plus a large number of engineering robots, and tens of thousands of scavengers recruited.

Start digging caves in the Black Tree Mountains.

Of course, digging these caves is not for living, but for building underground farms, nuclear fusion power stations, processing plants and the like.

The soil on the surface of Meteor Street, except in the northeast valley, due to long-term river erosion, and the terrain is slightly higher than the central plain, there is a small piece of land that can be planted.

The soil in other places has been polluted for 1,500 years, not to mention the surface soil, even the groundwater more than 1,000 meters underground is seriously polluted.

Therefore, in order to develop agriculture, we can only rely on science and technology to adopt artificial underground farms that fully control soil composition and quasi-natural conditions.

According to the current demographic data of Meteor Street, its total population is about 8.72 million. Based on the per capita annual consumption of 300 kilograms of staple food, at least 2.616 million tons of staple food are needed here every year.

And before,

Meteor Street has always relied on imports of food, with an average annual import of 800,000 to 900,000 tons of staple food, 120,000 to 150,000 tons of vegetables and fruits, and 10,000 to 20,000 tons of meat.

This amount of imports can barely support these people. In fact, thousands of people starve to death on Meteor Street every year.

This is also why after so many years, the population of Meteor Street has remained stable for a long time between 7 and 9 million. It is because the abnormal death rate is too high, which has prevented the population from growing for a long time.

Grasp the food initiative, this is the first thing Bamboo Rat has to do after taking charge of Meteor Street.

After all, the sky and the earth are big, and eating is the biggest.

If you can't even eat enough to eat, what is the ideal and happiness?

Meteor Street, Xicheng District.

A large number of dilapidated houses of waste pickers were bulldozed, and the population was relocated to Dongcheng District, which also became a large construction site.

However, the planning of the two places is different. After Dongcheng District, it will be the main residential area.

And Xicheng District, as the future industrial zone.

One of the fully automated garbage recycling factories supported by this universe has already been installed in the industrial park in Xicheng District.

These equipments have been hoarded in the outpost before and can be pulled over and assembled at any time.

Some waste pickers have changed jobs to become drivers of the fleet. Their job is to dig, load, unload, and transport garbage, and send the garbage to these recycling factories.

Fully automated garbage collection, a lot of garbage that could not be recycled before, can be recycled without any waste at this time, and become reusable resources.

At the beginning, the scavengers were terrified, because they found that their only existence value was replaced by mechanical efficiency.

But then, Bamboo Rat quickly recruited a large number of workers, including construction sites, transport convoys, farms, docks, and railway stations.

Both recruited a large number of workers, which greatly reduced the uneasiness of scavengers.

On the other hand, it is also mandatory that all civilians aged 6 to 16 must receive unified training and join the so-called juvenile training camp.

Infants and toddlers under the age of 6 are uniformly accepted by the Children's Training Center.

These two institutions absorbed nearly 1.73 million people in Meteor Street at once.

After the re-planning, Meteor Street, the former main urban area, is divided into five districts, namely: Zhongcheng District (management), Dongcheng District (residential), Xicheng District (industry), Nancheng District (commercial), Beicheng District ( education and the military).

In the industrial park in Xicheng District, the workers quickly pulled various raw materials extracted from the recycling factory to the designated processing factory to produce what they needed.

For example, the building materials that Meteor Street needs most at this time, as well as various daily necessities.

The newly planned Nancheng District.

Ma Qi just happened to be on vacation today, and took the panda girl and a cold, long, straight boy with a knife, walking in the commercial street of Nancheng District, which was in a state of disuse.

Although there are construction sites everywhere, the economy here is booming.

The main reason is that after the Human Revolutionary Federation took Meteor Street, it made corresponding preparations in advance, including food, daily necessities, and mechanical equipment, which had long been stored in the warehouse of the outpost.

For example, there are food vending machines everywhere now, as well as large supermarkets, large wholesale markets, movie theaters, hospitals, etc. These things are all businesses operated by the Commercial Division under the Human Revolutionary Union.

In addition, there are many individual businesses, such as snack bars, grocery stores, and barber shops. These industries originally existed on Meteor Street, but now they have become more standardized and more numerous.

After all, I was a scavenger before, and I may not even be able to satisfy food and clothing, so how could I have money to spend.

As for the service industry in Meteor Street, its main service targets were the Council of Elders and their subordinates in Meteor Street.

Now it is changed to serve the entire Meteor Street population of 8 million.

It used to serve tens of thousands of people at most, but now it has become 8 million people, which naturally leads to a rapid increase in practitioners from all walks of life.

Of course, this change requires two key things, namely per capita income and total social productivity.

If it is only money, productivity or material supply does not increase, it will only lead to inflation and soaring prices.

The Human Revolutionary Union not only provided a large number of jobs, but also invested a large amount of materials into the entire market. This is the fundamental reason why the economy began to prosper.

With the gradual improvement of the reform and construction of Meteor Street, Bamboo Rat also began to consider building a separation belt to completely separate the garbage plain from the urban area.

After all, in the garbage plain, the garbage accumulated over thousands of years will definitely take a while to change the status quo.

The existence of these rubbish really affects the quality of life too much, so we can only consider establishing isolation zones for the time being.

At the same time, Zodiac is also considering how to change the Meteor Street industry, the previous garbage industry can continue to be deeply cultivated.

However, the external development, as well as gradually coming to the fore, becoming a new force on the bright side in this world of hunters, must also be considered.
