Chapter 48 Chapter 2.05 Accumulating capital and developing energy
In the 137th year of the Pandora era, the new southern regime has now established a firm foothold here.
The main natural obstacles have been cleared during the exploration phase of Wei Keng, and now a new round of development has been carried out after a smooth handover process.
In terms of military, in order to open up the traffic lines between the core area of the new Pearl River and the surrounding city-states, the Tongfa Army conducted many military exercises.
The round-headed "God of War Tank" was equipped with a bucket in front to flatten the dead branches and rotten vines blocking the road.
This diesel convoy followed the railway linebed built in the old civilization era and the original national highway, all the way to the walls of various city-states, and then carried out a military exercise mission code-named "Liberation".
The rifled gun on the tank turret began to adjust the firing parameters, and the muzzle was facing the city wall from the angle when it first arrived. It turned to the hillside exercise area on the side at a 90-degree angle, and accurately hit the target (required to mark a point) temporarily scheduled by the representatives of the autonomous region (the nobles in the city-state). The actual combat elements were fully restored.
Jinhua Daily: On April 13, the Tongfa Army successfully completed the military exercise mission, showing the people of the autonomous cities in Guangdong that our people's army is determined to defend national property. Representatives of the autonomous city-states firmly support the leadership of the new government and join the initiative of the new Pearl River economic integration.
In human terms, those tanks completed the city's alliance and signed an economic agreement and an agreement on the free flow of population with Yuanhua Port.
Wei Keng repeatedly reported to the organization that Guangdong has a population of 500,000 and the regional situation is complicated.
Therefore, when making work plans, the backbones of the organization such as Sun Xiangyang who are still vague about administrative work can only follow Wei Keng's "ppt plan".
Wei Keng's cultural level is higher than that of the crew from the desperate plane, which is a less obvious but effective advantage.
The tradition of Chinese people respecting scholars has been engraved into the cultural genes. After becoming big, the bandits know to kidnap a scholar to be their military advisor.
Therefore, Wei Keng does not need to fight for decision-making power or occupy many seats. The suggestions he put forward can always be smoothly promoted by relying on the archives he has summarized.
…
After June, with the small workshops in various city-states, the economic system of small city-states was opened up by strong armor and sharp guns.
The New Pearl River Economic Circle on the old ruins began its first round of take-off after the arrival of the cargo ship. Thirteen excavators bulldozed part of the ruins, and the building materials produced by the lime kiln surrounded a circle of walls here. Then the construction of buildings was summarized inside, and green belts and facilities for possible road expansion in the future were reserved. This layout is the layout of the factory compound.
As the population tide gathered towards the New Pearl River, various factories and buildings had to be built in advance. Wei Keng, based on the population migration information in various cities and the fluctuation of food prices, completed the modeling of the gathering of foreign population towards the Guangzhou Economic Zone, and the new government planned production and construction according to the trend in the modeling.
As for the economy, while ensuring the food and clothing of the people, the new Pearl River economy has started export-oriented economic production and gathered capital!
It is the 27th century. Wei Keng’s sociology education naturally does not deify capitalism, but "capital" objectively exists "before civilization has entered a period of great spiritual and material abundance".
Gathering "capital" is not about finance, capital is the credibility in the exchange of social materials.
Because society cannot be composed of a group of selfless people, and people sitting in high management positions are even less so.
After experiencing the era of the 21st century, when monsters and demons were rampant, and hearing all kinds of selfless but shameless words such as "overtime is to train you" and "forcing you to be laid off is to supply talents to the society",
Wei Keng is extremely disgusted with selfless dedication. All his labor must be given a credit value by people with credibility. The most appropriate physical object for this value is money! It is capital.
In a society with a constant population and productivity, the credibility that the entire society needs to operate is actually constant. Some systems in society sometimes virtualize some credibility to concentrate some wealth of society and invest in high-tech industries to gamble on the future. This kind of credibility operation means is financial means.
Of course, virtual is virtual after all. If the financial means are not to gamble on future industries, but to build a blood bubble that can make blood-sucking worms full in this era, then financial bubbles will eventually accumulate.
Every time a bubble bursts, a large amount of capital will evaporate, but as long as society continues to operate, the credibility of capital will still exist.
Now in the Pandora plane, where is the capital of this world gathered? ——In the upper class of each city-state!
They concentrated all the one-yuan steel coin and fifty-cent copper coins that were widely circulated before the Great Destruction in their own hands.
After Wei Keng arrived, the new economy in the Pearl River region continued to earn back these copper coins and steel coins in business through non-war means and relying on production advantages. This is the gathering of capital.
Copper coins and steel coins, the desperate plane can provide coin-making facilities for mass printing, but that will only destroy the circulation of steel coins and copper coins in the south, causing both sides to perish together, and cannot gather capital.
The essence of capital is reputation, which is a scalar that can temporarily exchange for human and material wealth of all classes in the operation of society. This is not simply made by a coin-making machine, but established in the process of social operation.
A group must let the world know that they have the ability to increase wealth and provide security for society! In this way, the currency supported by the group is a scalar of reputation.
This can be seen as "standing on a tree to establish credibility". Although the process is quite complicated, it is necessary to prove both production capacity and military capability. However, modern civilization has developed to the present, and when it comes to governance, it should be larger and more sophisticated than in the Shang Yang era.
In fact, if Wei Keng wants to quickly gather capital, it seems that there is another option, that is, to plunder directly by military means! Directly destroy the upper credibility of the nearby old city-states.
However~
Let's not talk about whether Wei Keng, a guy who is afraid of death and pain, is willing to sacrifice for this plan. This method is too limited. Even if it can quickly gather the credibility of Guangdong, it will destroy the credibility of the Tongfa Army outside.
A force that completes the concentration of wealth through plunder will be questioned in every way outside the area that can be plundered!
In addition to Guangdong, there are other city-states in the entire East Asian continent! There is still communication between these city-states. The military increase of the Tongfa Army will definitely threaten these city-states with force. After all, the name is "Tongfa" rather than local separatism.
Military forces may cause huge economic losses to a region when they are in action, but they must not bomb the other side into poverty "in the name of plundering wealth".
At least they cannot do this on the surface, and they cannot indulge in organized actions in the army.
Otherwise, your army is definitely not a team to "establish order", but a beast army to suck the bones and marrow. No matter how much real gold and silver you have plundered, it is only used as capital (credibility) to stabilize the occupied area internally, but externally? Unless you give up the occupation, external forces will never feel at ease to trade with you.
Don't learn from Mao Zimang about things that can be obtained by economic means! Moreover, after Wei Keng's detailed investigation, the wealth structure of human city-states at this time is very deformed. The effect of using the economy is better.
The economic model of these city-states in Guangdong is that capital is gathered on a large scale at the top level, and no longer fed back to the lower level through large-scale projects.
These city-states now have an addictive demand for two types of goods-luxury goods and arms.
Luxury goods and arms correspond to: the hedonism of the upper class and the need to maintain the stability of their own rule.
The Qing Dynasty is an example of this. They bought Fushou cream and Krupp cannons.
The new government of Zhujiang will sell some guns and ammunition to help the surrounding human forces deal with the threat of gene groups. But now the main products sold in the "New Canton Fair" are still some high-end consumer goods.
What are high-end consumer goods in contemporary times? ——It is instant noodle seasoning packets!
For this reason, a MSG factory was established. When sodium chloride and sodium glutamate can be used to supplement sodium ions at the same time, the capital owned by the upper class can buy a hundred times the salt they need. But because they don't need it, they won't flow out so much steel coins. So the MSG that is now ten times the price of salt is tailor-made for them by Wei Keng.
In Guangdong, there is a trade route for transporting salt to inland city-states, so this consumer market is very large.
And the city-states that are constantly flowing out of steel coins do not have the ability of planned economy to allocate production materials for various classes today. Because they lack an important medium for social and economic activities, the outflow of capital means a decline in credibility.
August 17, at the door of the supply agency.
"Buy, buy, buy!" At the commodity supply point, merchants holding order forms even trampled in order to purchase enough goods, so that the supply agency had to deploy police to maintain order in the afternoon. These MSG, fragrant bath soap, and cotton-lined and leather-lined coats that ordinary people can't use now seem to be the currency before the Great Destruction when they arrive at the city-state. But in fact, it is the blood of social order in each city-state.
At present, the workers under the new government are thrifty and work overtime to produce materials. The steel coins they exchange for themselves and the factory are not just metal pieces, but the guarantee that the unified expeditionary army can quickly gather local strategic resources after entering various regions in the future.
...
In the process of capital accumulation, it seems that there is such a magic, and Wei Keng found that he was also infected by the magic. Wei Keng found that he was also working all night, and it was a high-brain-consuming job.
Wei Keng: "So, what am I after?"
The old man Wei, who is about to return to the Shenzhou plane and become a top celebrity, found that he should not leave for a while and should do more.
In October of Pandora 135, with the guidance of the technical experts of the Death Plane, Wei Keng started a new energy revolution in the Pandora Plane.
This energy station information was handed to Wei Keng by Luo Hongxing.
When Wei Keng started to get busy, Luo Hongxing sent a communication message to Wei Keng's supervisor: "Little Deer, it is important to take advantage of the situation!" Bai Linglu said that he was willing to learn, but God knows how much he could learn.
Let's talk about what Wei Keng is busy with now.
For the teenagers before China's urbanization, a pond that had been dug for several years could always be found with bubbles if it was stirred with a long pole. This is a common phenomenon.
After the arrival of Yuanhua's crew, the urbanization process in Guangdong increased, and energy consumption also increased sharply. The past way of using charcoal as energy has encountered great challenges now. The storage of charcoal is easily invaded by fungi, and the released spores are easy to cause biological pollution. Therefore, there is an urgent need for energy that is more convenient to store and transport.
Electricity and natural gas were important energy sources for human society at the same time in the main world. One was transmitted through wires, and the other was transmitted through pipelines. There is no natural gas now, but biogas? According to the current thriving biological world! Not only is there, but there is also a lot of it.
According to Luo Hongxing, after arriving at the desperate plane, he stayed in some areas of southern China. There were no coal mines in those rural areas, and the electricity supply was not enough to support large-scale electrical appliances. In order to solve the problem of power generation, they used traditional methods and started to engage in biogas power generation. In fact, it was not a traditional method. It was because the national power grid was not so developed and provided technical assistance to the countryside.
Wei Keng did what he said. He dug out the pool directly. It was very deep and large, and the bottom was connected to the heating pipe. When the waste heat residue of the factory was introduced into the pool next to it, the heat could flow through the pipe and be transmitted to the reaction pool to adjust the reaction temperature. Then the pool was covered with cement, a waterproof layer was attached, and then tiles were attached. The entire pool was fed through the pipeline, and the top cover was connected to the shaft seal stirring rod. The discharge port could discharge waste during the production process.
When the construction was completed, the fifteen groups of pools with a side length of eight meters and a depth of twelve meters began to be filled with water and raw materials. Almost overnight, the inside was churning like beer. The decomposition speed of straw and other dead branches and rotten leaves is comparable to the speed at which strawberries grow white hair. As the stirring rod stirs evenly, the biogas in the large pool is like a shaken Coke, with bubbles whirring out of the pipe, entering the combustion chamber to drive the gas turbine, driving the generator set to convert into electricity, and transmitting to the nearby factory along the wires on the elevated structure.
However, in the Pandora field, the energy of life activities can be exchanged remotely.
When the methanogens produce methane after receiving sufficient material supply, their remaining life energy is radiated to some surrounding plants and even insects.
The earliest biogas pool was forced to stop after ten days of power generation because an old tree root directly grew up and cracked the No. 3 pool.
So the second time the biogas power station was built, Wei Keng directly piled a layer of kaolin with a thickness of three meters around each pool, and piled it tightly with blue bricks and cement. (This is the imperial tomb technology)
Such a cement pool that can continuously produce gas energy has an external life radiation energy density that is no less than that of a nuclear reactor in the civilized era. It's just that methanogens do not have complex genes, and the insertion effect of human genes is limited. However, continuous radiation will still increase the proliferation of some sugars and proteins, exceeding the upper limit of human endocrine coordination.
From November 135 to April 136,
those workers in the non-Weikeng control group, if they continued to work on site for three hours, would have stomachaches or mites on their skin.
Weikeng and the engineering team came to the conclusion that it is necessary to increase the automation of power control, each patrol should not exceed half an hour, and it is necessary to complete blood interaction with comrades on duty in other areas every day, or directly inject Weikeng's blood to thoroughly enhance their resistance to life radiation during microbial proliferation.
It's just that when the organization arranges work, it is more inclined to arrange the Weikeng cluster to take half of the duty load and wait for the next generation of technology to be updated.
Each pool of the biogas power station can process 100 kilograms of straw-like materials every day, and the daily power generation is about 10,000 kilowatts, that is, 10,000 kilowatts of electricity. The current electricity fee is 0.8 cents per kilowatt, which is 80 yuan a day, and the entire power station needs ten people to maintain operation. One third of the output can be used as job wages.
As the largest group of workers in the biogas power plant, Wei Keng and his colleagues could not help but sigh after receiving the salary from the organization: "This is really a high-welfare position."
If this position can really provide an unchanging living state, then this is a good place to lie down. But! ~ Wei Keng waved his fist and encouraged himself: "Strive for a better tomorrow!"
