The factory is loading trucks, and people are efficiently shipping the slaughtered meat.
The factory was enormous, making one feel insignificant. Countless workers bustled about, busy and bustling.
On the assembly line, live pigs are thrown onto the blood draining conveyor, where they are stabbed and bled after being anesthetized. The blood flows into the blood draining tank, while the pig carcasses are washed and scalded in the washing tank to remove hair. They are then sawed in half and transported to the cold storage for further processing.
"This is the largest slaughterhouse in the old city, and it uses the best equipment and employs experienced workers. In fact, there are also some small and medium-sized, and even private slaughterhouses in the old city. Many butchers still use the primitive method of manually opening the chest to remove the internal organs. Those who are richer will choose to buy a manual splitting saw."
"However, here, all our slaughtering work can be done on the track. We are currently considering reducing manual labor by adding some hand-pushed lines to assist manual operation and transport of pork."
Nearby, He Gan was personally showing Qin Che around.
Besides the high-ranking officials, members of the Falcon Society and the Psychic Special Operations Team were also present behind him.
Smelling the strong fishy smell around him, Qin Che asked curiously, "Where did all this equipment come from?"
"These factories are the pride of the old city. Most of them were replicated with the help of scholars from the land of sages. They are the treasures of the old city."
Qin Che laughed and said, "Besides the factory equipment, you must have found quite a few good things in this ruin, right?"
He Gan smiled awkwardly and nodded slightly: "Actually, there isn't much of a legacy. When the old city was established, this ruin was already dilapidated. Many of the legacies were bought by the Land of Sages or exported directly to Wall One as waste."
"oh?"
Zhang Feijun, who was standing next to him, said, "Most of the resources for Lingbi City's booming electrical appliance industry chain came from the old city. Back then... the old city didn't have the ability or strength to develop this industry, after all, it was full of refugees who had just arrived here."
"However, the land of the wise arrived in the old city earlier than us, and they have been conducting research here for decades."
Since arriving in the old city, Qin Che has yet to meet with the scholars from the land of sages, even though Scholar Han has already made arrangements with the research institutions in the old city.
It seems... I still have to make a trip.
Qin Che wasn't particularly interested in these industries and factories; what intrigued him was the history of the Old World and the research findings of the Land of Sages here.
What year is it tonight? How far away is it from the 21st century?
Why has humanity come to this point?
Qin Che will investigate these questions sooner or later.
He Gan went to great lengths to take Qin Che on a tour of the slaughterhouses for cattle, sheep, and poultry, as well as the breeding farms. The cages were neatly arranged, with feed placed side by side, straight passageways, and square fences, all clean and tidy.
After being slaughtered, the pigs are loaded onto trucks and transported to various slaughterhouses, where they are processed into meat products and shipped out.
The production capacity is indeed astonishing.
Qin Che said, "In the future, the synthetic starch imported from Sand Castle will be processed into feed by us in advance. Prime Minister He doesn't need to worry about the price. I can guarantee that it will be cheaper than the processed feed from No. 1 Wall. If the cooperation goes smoothly in the future, I can even give you a discount. But the premise is that I need the support of the Old City government and the loyalty of the masses."
He Gan smiled and said, "Please rest assured, sir, the people of the old city will certainly be grateful for your kindness."
"Military reform should also be put on the agenda as soon as possible. Before long, a batch of firearms will be transported from Shabao and distributed to the Self-Defense Forces. What about the military commander?"
As Qin Che inquired, a small old man emerged from the crowd. He had a birthmark on his left forehead, his eyes were deep and narrow, with a hint of menace in them, and he was quite capable. However, he was so short that he barely touched Qin Che's chest. He bowed to Qin Che and said, "I am here, sir."
"Next, the special operations team will assist you in training soldiers. You can sell all those Black Gecko M-series firearms at a discount as scrap. From now on, the soldiers in Old City will use the Sand Crocodile and the best weapons in Sand Castle!"
"Thank you for your kindness, sir!"
Qin Che smiled and looked at He Gan: "I don't care what you do next, but I hope you can abide by our agreement."
He Gan smiled bitterly to himself. Qin Che had indeed shown sincerity, and the old city remained completely undamaged. He had no reason to object.
"But sir, if we restrict the export of meat and grain, I'm afraid many cities will... rise up in rebellion."
Qin Che smiled and said, "You don't need to worry about that."
"yes."
Whether someone is an enemy or a friend, Qin Che will decide for himself.
Those who are willing to side with the Green Alliance are definitely forces aligned with the Green Alliance from the very beginning, while those who are unwilling to side with it will naturally not be treated unfairly.
The current export restrictions are intended to distinguish between friend and foe, and to draw a line between them on the ground. After this, once the sandcastle's processed feed is successfully shipped and a stable transportation route is established with the old city, things will return to normal. This rectification will gradually clarify the positions of the forces in the desert.
Once a standoff in the form of war is established, the situation of not knowing where to fight will no longer occur.
The cards must be arranged in order before they can be played; otherwise, they will be a complete mess.
Furthermore, once the No. 1 Wall, which has always relied on importing meat and grain from the Old City, finds that it can no longer hold the Old City hostage, it will be forced to, to some extent, stop its internal strife and unite against external forces.
Before Qin Che, although he had entered the Elders' Council, become an advisor to the Awakening Department, and was supported by the Fu Party, he was still a rootless duckweed.
Only when you truly hold the chips in your own hands will others value you.
