Chapter 183: Chapter 145, I want this big guy!
“`
“I don’t want to hear so much reasoning, I just want to know when you can finish making the big thing!” Tearing Flesh growled, growing somewhat impatient.
The elder grabbed Tearing Flesh’s hand, “If you want to see those big guys, come with me, I’ll show you.”
Following the elder, Tearing Flesh arrived at an ‘factory’.
This was an open-air site, with lots of wrench kids working here, kicking their pixie assistants’ butts, laughing loudly, and occasionally brawling with each other. Sometimes a greenskin was even killed on the spot.
But this didn’t affect their work efficiency, and the scene was bustling with fervent activity.
And here, Tearing Flesh saw a lot of good stuff.
There were greenskin trucks being assembled that looked like a pile of junk casually put together into a semblance of a truck, with multibarrel autocannons awkwardly stuffed on top, both capable of transporting the boys to the front lines and acting as a fiercely firing armed transport.
He also saw what looked like cannons made out of iron drums, two or three iron drums were simply bound together with wire, and fitting them with a couple of wheels was considered a completed job.
Besides these, he also saw several roughly three-meter-tall tin cans with ‘arms and legs’ painted with a crude and laughable orc face in white paint.
He turned his head, and the elder was watching him.
“This is a gift prepared for the strongest boss in the clan! Once it’s done, if you put it on, with the clickety-clack of chainsaws, the boom of artillery, and the rat-tat-tat of rotary guns! You’ll surely be able to kill those shrimps to the last one!”
Tearing Flesh couldn’t help but caress the big fellow, and, finding a pixie worker in the way, kicked it a few meters away with disgust.
It was quite a while before he cracked a wide grin and laughed delightedly, “Hahahaha! I want this big guy! When can I wear it?”
“Don’t worry, don’t worry, soon, very soon!”
…
One month had passed.
Gu Hang didn’t stay in Rubbish Town all the time, flying back to Revival City several times in between.
After all, the twin-city area of Revival City and Weixing City is the foundation.
He inspected the reconstruction of Revival City. The outer city area, which had been devastated, was now beginning to take shape. Although it was still a big construction site, according to Osenia’s planning, the city area was starting to look like something. The population still active in the outer city was about 600,000, nearly 200,000 of whom were engaged in the city’s reconstruction.
With the efforts of nearly 200,000 construction workers, the city was being rapidly rebuilt.
Now, the total population of Revival City was around 800,000. Of the nearly 900,000 people who used to live outside Revival City, 200,000 moved to Weixing City and another 100,000 to the inner city.
The entire city’s population structure and industrial structure would become more rational in the following time.
But Gu Hang was more concerned about the situation in Weixing City.
His main industrial area was here.
The population in Weixing City had exceeded 300,000 after receiving a large number of people who had migrated from Revival City and from other settlements within a two-hundred-kilometer radius to the east.
The military industry was particularly important.
Under the round-the-clock work of the black box within the research institute and through Wu Jiarong’s efforts, various military industrial production capacities were rapidly increasing.
In the last month, the military industry in the Waste Hole area produced 55 armored fighting vehicles, 40,000 sets of individual soldier equipment with the G9 rifle as the core, 100 various types of artillery, 40,000 rounds of various types of ammunition, 200 military trucks…
The equipment for the Wind-Extinguishing Brigade wasn’t fully produced yet, but at least two more heavy composite camps were ready and would be sent to the frontlines.
Along with the 1st Wind Extinguishing Brigade’s 2nd and 3rd Battalions heading to the frontline were also logistics supplies carried by those two hundred trucks, along with numerous ammunition and weapons.
Two hundred trucks couldn’t carry all this in one trip; it would take several trips.
And once this batch of equipment and logistics supplies were in place, the four garrison divisions from 4-7 could be fully reorganized.
Of course, Gu Hang still had to spend more than four hundred points of grace to train them.
With training complete and equipment in place, their combat power wouldn’t be far behind the 2nd Infantry Division, except for the insufficient number of artillery pieces.
Besides military construction, Gu Hang’s grace points had surged again in this month.
It had nothing to do with the war.
Although there was a big war going on outside Rubbish Town, and it was the biggest war since Gu Hang arrived on Rage Owl Star, so far, there has never been a combat settlement interface.
Obviously, the previous battles, whether they were counter-push frontline or defensive battles, the many individual fights weren’t counted as concluded.
If you wanted to see the combat settlement interface, you would probably have to wait until the entire campaign was over.
But not having the grace points from battles wasn’t a big issue, as his monthly grace point income had risen from less than four hundredlast month to 588 points now.
This spike in monthly income wasn’t due to the surge in population, but a genuine increase in productivity. The biggest increase came from Weixing City, where nearly two hundred thousand more people moved in. With short-term concentrated training and on-the-job training, most of the people solved the unemployment problem. Most importantly, heavy industry and military industry received manpower supplements.
