Everyone: Are mechanics weak? I wake up and rectify the natural disaster

Chapter 280 The great famine in the last days, China’s food red line

This is inevitable.

As long as Su Wen adheres to the concept of "maximizing utilization value" and does not throw away natural disaster weapons everywhere and de-urbanize others,

Then all we can do is recruit younger brothers from all over the mountains and plains.

Far away,

It would be difficult for the Haijins alone to escape.

As for the Gaelin people, they had already fallen under his control before the Haijin people.

——Even though the latter didn’t even know about it.

In this situation,

Maintaining a certain amount of food output is beneficial to the empire's economic system and makes it healthier.

Brother, after taking it over, you have to engage in internal trade.

This is also considered a long-term reason.

...Of course, the servant state is still relatively far away.

And these days, as a dog, you have to bring your own dog food. It’s hard to say how much demand they will have...

therefore.

within a short period of time.

Except for players like this group of Wumeng crew members who directly became "cheap labor".

Under normal circumstances, the empire has no place to consume this food production capacity.

This is easy to solve.

When there is extra surplus, just find a way to export it to Blue Star.

Anyway, given the current situation, the food of Blue Star people is not necessarily as good as his 'instant products'.

..

People in Blue Star are really not eating well these days.

That's not generally bad.

...In the end of the world, everyone understands it!

Three years of catastrophe.

Globally, hundreds of millions of people are dying of starvation alone.

In this case, the food issue can only be guaranteed if it is guaranteed.

Especially in the intervening year or two.

Not to mention turf tree roots.

It tastes delicious even if you eat an insole.

Even China experienced severe famine during the catastrophe.

This is actually quite normal.

The country with the largest population and the largest food consumption demand in the world has lost more than 80% of its arable land in one fell swoop...

...This would be a weird thing if there wasn't famine.

In some places, people had already begun to eat people before the second wave of demons came.

The reason why there was no complete collapse due to famine,

To a large extent, this is because the old skills from back then have not been lost.

Dig a hole deep and store grain widely.

Some slogans and some concepts may not be understood by ordinary people.

But when something happens, people will understand the long-term strategic vision behind this.

What people are looking at is not tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, nor is it the next two years.

People see it as something that is 'inevitable' within a long-term trend of at least a hundred years.

This is the essential difference between elders and street politicians.

The vision of both parties is completely different from the same era.

Just relying on the old craftsmanship left over, China has become the country with the largest scale of civil air defense projects in the world.

The scale of the civil air defense project is large, and naturally there are a lot of material reserves inside.

After the two doomsday projects were launched, these things quickly became reserve materials in the underground cities of major base cities.

It helped China survive the first wave of famine after the collapse of the old production system.

The food is not tasty.

For example, in Jiangbei, Jiangbei Base City opened a warehouse, and among the food reserves released, the most ready-to-eat food was a batch of canned biscuits.

After hoarding for more than ten years or even decades, I can’t make cookies that are bigger than my grandpa.

Cookies, not compressed cookies.

It's still packed in a tin bucket, it's dirt-heavy, and it's even harder than bricks.

The moment you take out the lid with a screwdriver, you can smell the thick salt smell that has been aged for decades.

However, as soon as it was put into the mouth, it turned into slag.

Salty and stale, with no taste at all.

This is all good.

Even worse is the old grain.

Every civil air defense project is equipped with several levels of food reserves.

For example, those old biscuits.

That is based on the highest standard of 'storage for fifty years without any reserve replacement procedures'.

It can be said to be a standard 'nuclear war reserve ready-to-eat food';

Slightly inferior are various canned luncheon meats, with ages ranging from ten to thirty years.

This is war food in the conventional sense.

There are also rice, wheat, and corn that are not ready-to-eat types.

But it needs to be replaced at certain intervals.

Each batch of grain that enters the war-prepared grain reserve must be recorded separately, and will be hauled out for processing after a certain number of years.

Generally, they are directly used to raise livestock.

If it were before the catastrophe, any catering company would dare to use this kind of old food that is often ten years old and is about to be scrapped. 315 would be the lightest thing to do for a single person.

But after the cataclysm broke out, basically every base city was forced to take out all these things.

If it is a part that has been left for a long time and is really damaged, then there is really nothing you can do about it.

But the ones that are still edible, no matter how old they are, are not willing to get rid of them.

The survivors are even less in the mood to think about this:

Damn it, the bark and grass roots have survived, but this one is still missing?

Even before the catastrophe, the kind of wealthy people who flew between North America and Western Europe, who would go to Japan to eat Matsusaka beef and eat baked snails in Paris the next, couldn't care less about this.

Those who do not starve to death are considered lucky.

Of course, even the food reserves are limited.

Therefore, until now, China's top leaders actually walk on two legs when it comes to food.

One is to rely on the secret realm;

Needless to say, there are indeed good plots of land in some secret areas that are suitable for farming.

In some low-risk first-level secret realms, Hua maintains a large amount of farmland.

This is one of the main sources of food in major base cities today.

Accounting for more than 50% of China's current grain output.

It does take a lot of manpower and material resources to do this.

Whether it is the garrison, labor force, various infrastructure in the secret realm, or the transportation cost of the portal.

They are all very tall.

think about it,

China can transport tens or even millions of tons of grain back in the first-level secret realm;

But he didn't dare to deploy a few artillery pieces and weapons in the fifth-level secret realm.

You know how high the cost is.

It is precisely because of the restriction of the red line of grain production that the latter has to be replaced and abandoned by the former.

Very helpless.

But there is finally a way.

However, the livestock farming and planting in these secret areas cannot be harvested in a day or two.

In fact, it wasn't until Su Wen traveled back in time that China had just begun to receive a stable food supply from the secret realm.

Before that, we relied on food reserves and another way.

another way,

Naturally, it is the local 'low-cost food products' in Blue Star.

Things like mealworm meal, earthworm meal, or even World of Warcraft meat.

The former is not dangerous, but can be annoying;

The latter is a mixed bag of good and bad.

There is a lot of randomness and there is a lot of risk.

The meat of some monsters is more tender than veal breast and lamb before the Cataclysm.

Excellent taste and nutritional value;

Some monsters have problems all over the body, and if they can't be fixed, they will eat people to death.

...So, it’s quite difficult here.

It was difficult, but during the initial period of the catastrophe, it helped the Chinese people survive the most difficult years.

The secret realm and the native land of Blue Star walk on two legs.

Still stumbling when walking.

We should be thankful that Su Wen came through the time travel relatively late.

Otherwise, he would have to eat 'nutritional protein powder' for more than a year like his original self.

That thing was so unpalatable that survivors who had experienced the early stages of the catastrophe were still frightened.

have to say.

From the beginning, everyone could only eat 'protein powder mush' with 'aged lunch meat/compressed biscuits'.

Later, even ordinary citizens like Jiang Chirui and Su Wen were able to open a meat shop every now and then.

Make some braised pork, or cook up a pot of pork ribs with green onions.

The Chinese government's efforts in ensuring food supply deserve thumbs up from all citizens.

But this level of protection is no longer sufficient.

After all, the counterattack has already begun, and the food gap will naturally increase further.

The first to bear the brunt is the massive new population.

...certainly not in recent years.

In fact, in recent years, fertility has indeed been encouraged. Too many people died during the Cataclysm.

If it weren't for the sudden drop in population due to the Cataclysm, and with the same sudden drop in the amount of farmland, China might not be able to feed so many people, and it might not be able to support the development of the secret realm.

This is hard to hear, but it is indeed true.

But despite this fact, the top management still gritted its teeth and formulated a series of plans to encourage childbirth, and did not make any expenditure cuts just because the situation was difficult...

Things that are easy to understand:

Population growth rate is the guarantee for future development. We cannot completely give up hope for the future just because we are currently short of resources.

However, if you choose to keep the fire for the future, you will inevitably need more expenditures now...

Well, this is also an expense that hurts the top management.

The planned supply has been maintained until now, largely because of the expenditures on child care and child care in the past few years.

Officials have formulated a package plan for this purpose.

up to teenagers approaching adulthood before the Cataclysm;

Even at the time of the Cataclysm, they were still just fertilized eggs as a 'potential population'.

Including 'fresh graduates' like Su Wen, they are all beneficiaries of this package.

——Su Wen has always had goodwill toward China, and there are also factors in this aspect.

Even if you put aside your feelings, you are actually enjoying the benefits given by the country.

Even if his original experience were put aside, didn't he still eat royal food for a year and a half after he traveled through time?

People need to be conscientious.

For Su Wen now,

It is very cost-effective to use material support to settle the cause and make up for the shortcomings.

..

Apart from these 'preserved fires'.

Another part adds population.

They are the survivors rescued from the occupied areas.

In fact, the latter is the big one.

Just like in Yunchuan City, tens of thousands of people were saved alive by just one vote at Guangwu Ning's old site.

These people were indeed barely able to support themselves in their original places.

But after entering the Yunchuan base city, they couldn't go back to the Wuning ruins to draw rations for themselves, right?

And they will not be able to escape their refugee status in a short period of time, so they cannot immediately buy property in Yunchuan City...

...There is indeed land in the Guangfu District, but doesn’t it have to be managed first before it can be harvested?

Therefore, in a short period of time, the city bureau can only pay for it.

Then this is equivalent to a batch of food shortages, and we have to find ways to make up for it from other places.

But these days there is a food shortage everywhere, where can we find supplements?

--It doesn't matter!

Isn’t Boss Su coming now?
