Starting from the Planetary Governor

Chapter 139: Chapter 129, Decree by Proclamation

Medicine is a hard currency in the wasteland, and there are few places with the corresponding production capacity.

Currently, Weixing City’s Alliance First Pharmaceutical Factory has already started production smoothly. According to reports, it can produce over a hundred different types of medicines and medical supplies.

However, there is no need to implement and produce such a wide variety of medicines all at once. Some medications for treating stomach diseases, skin diseases, osteoporosis…

These are certainly not useless, but at least for now, they are not a priority.

Quick-acting hemostatic agents, antibiotics, pain relief drugs, and external injury medications… These are much more important, and the demand on the wasteland is also much greater.

As for armaments…

The arms to be sold are obviously not those newly produced ones.

Gu Hang’s opulent brigade hasn’t even completed its reorganization, so where could there be spare arms to sell to others?

However, it’s precisely because he is setting up a heavy synthetic brigade that many of the weapons and equipment left by the Alliance Legion have become stockpiled goods.

Osenia is planning to sell these items off in batches.

But they can’t just be sold recklessly.

Selling arms is a sensitive matter.

In her plan, this trade must not only exchange enough food supply for Revival City but also achieve reasonable political objectives.

Osenia is now placing great importance on the stability of the Green Valley Region.

This isn’t just due to personal feelings but also for the food security of Revival City.

The Green Valley Region has always been an important trading partner for Revival City, being the thicker of the two major food arteries. If it falls into prolonged chaos, the impact on Revival City will be significant.

Selecting appropriate trade partners, reaching out to those orderly Green Valley estate owners, and selling them arms to equip them is the best choice.

Osenia hopes that the armed plantations can maintain the order of food production and keep supplying Revival City with food; they can defend against and even counter-attack the looting gangs that arise from turmoil. Ideally, they can unite and quell the monster surge that has been ravaging the Green Valley Region for several months.

She is determined to handle this herself, with Bradford assisting on the side, providing some contacts and channels.

However, dealing with arms sales is a bit beyond Osenia’s authority. She is in charge of civil affairs, commerce, and production, but she doesn’t have the final say on military equipment.

She turned to Gu Hang.

If I can’t handle it, the big boss can.

After carefully listening to Osenia’s report, Gu Hang approved her plan.

…

Half a month later.

The food crisis in Revival City was somewhat alleviated.

Bradford demonstrated his capability. The first phase of the work to restore food imports was relatively successful. The “capillaries” restored blood flow, and the various food production areas around Revival City began to resume food trade and transportation.

In half a month, a total of ten thousand tons of food were imported.

Endless convoys of barbaric ox carts and trucks have started to reappear frequently outside Revival City.

Of course, this is due to the fact that many food transports were not in place due to the war and blockade, causing a backlog at various locations. Now, with Revival City’s trade routes restored, that food was certainly no longer hoarded, hurriedly transported over in exchange for various other necessities of life.

In the future, the trade volume might drop a bit, but it should be able to maintain at about five to ten thousand tons per month.

Just relying on the “capillary” blood flow is not enough to completely solve Revival City’s food crisis. The food output in the surrounding areas is not enough to meet the city’s food consumption.

However, during this half-month, Bradford made contact with an old acquaintance who runs to the Western Desert and a transport convoy from the Western Desert is already en route.

The current stockpile of food can still hold up, and a month later, that transport convoy carrying over fifty thousand tons of food will arrive in Revival City. Meanwhile, Osenia has reached out to Dennison Henry, Gu Hang’s agent in Rubbish Town, and purchased a large quantity of lime ash.

The Western Desert has a high demand for lime ash, a good fuel, which is one of their main imports after selling food. The underground plant factories from before the war consume a lot of water and electrical energy.

Water resources are supplied by oases and are locally extracted; for energy, they heavily rely on imports.

On this front, Osenia has new ideas.

Can’t the electric grid be extended to the Western Desert?

What they really need is energy. Lime ash is transported back for electricity generation.

Then, constructing a high-voltage power grid and directly transmitting electricity would be much cheaper than hauling lime ash by ox carts and trucks, right?

Moreover, the cost of directly exporting electricity is even cheaper.

Ms. Wu Jiarong has already deployed a reactor generator set around Weixing City. Osenia also made an appearance at the inauguration ceremony.

Once connected to the grid, almost all of the lime ash power generation units stopped.

They aren’t needed anymore, as the electricity generated by a single reactor unit upon grid connection is already enough for the production and living needs of the combined one million population of Revival City and Weixing City.

Even, there’s some surplus.
