[Chapter 4, 15,000 words! Everyone must be powerful! If you give some power, the Blacksmith's update today will definitely exceed 20,000!]

--- -- --------

At around 8 o'clock in the morning local time in Pakistan, Xie Tian boarded the return plane. When he finally landed at Yanjing Nanyuan Airport, he immediately went to find Chairman Han and gave Chairman Han an unmissible narrative about the situation of this trip to Pakistan, and expressed his views on reproduction of aviation fuel and ammunition, as well as its importance in the apocalypse.

Chairman Han frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "Zhengxuan, the two issues you mentioned are very important. Relying on the current fuel and ammunition reserves alone, we cannot support it for too long in the end of the world. It is very good to start production again. I immediately contact relevant experts to learn about the current two industries and their addresses in the Jiangnan area. We must restore the production of these two strategic materials as soon as possible."

Xie Tian nodded and said, "As long as I know where the production equipment and materials are available, I will ask my people to clear the zombies there as soon as possible, and then the relevant staff can start working immediately."

Chairman Han called Zhang Long and ordered his request. Many professional talents were gathered by Chairman Han in Yanjing. It was very convenient to find them. Soon after Zhang Long went out, he brought back seven people, four of whom were petrochemical experts and three were technicians in the arsenal.

When Xie Tian expressed his request, a middle-aged man among the petrochemical experts blurted out excitedly: "There are not many manufacturers that produce aviation fuel, but there is one in Shanghai! We have visited there before, and there is also an oil port in Shanghai, which has China's largest oil storage base. The crude oil stored is more than one million cubic meters all year round! If we can restore the refinery there, not only aviation fuel, but other petroleum products can also be produced!"

"That's great!" Xie Tian didn't expect that Shanghai would have such unique conditions. Although he knew that Shanghai had a large amount of oil reserves, oil was just a raw material for production and could not be directly converted into crude oil. Moreover, the process of producing various fuels was very complicated. It was not just said that production could be produced. Now I heard that Shanghai has a company specializing in the production of aviation fuel. How could Xie Tian not be excited? There is his current powerful fleet, and Shanghai's zombies have basically been cleared. There is also the Beijing-Shanghai High-speed Railway, a railway trunk line with a strong capacity. It is really appropriate to resume industrial production in Shanghai.

Immediately, Xie Tian asked again: "Where is the arsenal?"

"The arsenal is better solved." A technician in the field of ordnance said: "China Northern Industrial Company is headquartered in Yanjing, and has several production bases in the suburbs of Yanjing. It is the largest company in the country for weapons development, production and manufacturing, not only bullets, but also bombs, missiles, artillery shells, etc. If we want to start construction, we only need enough personnel. After our short-term training, we can use the production line to produce ordinary bullets."

"Okay." Xie Tian nodded and said, "This must be implemented as soon as possible. Let's prepare for it. Experts in petrochemicals today. Go to Shanghai tomorrow. I will ask my people to wait in Shanghai and send 10,000 soldiers to maintain the safety of petrochemical work. In addition, experts in military industries will also prepare after they go back today. I can give you as many people as you want, and give you whatever you want. The production of bullets must start as soon as possible and must not be delayed."

After giving these two groups of people, Xie Tian himself began to take a train from Jiangxi to Shanghai. This time, he wanted to ensure the safety of Shanghai and lead the workers to restore Pudong Airport and Shanghai Thermal Power Plant to solve the electricity demand of Shanghai's industry and make absolute preparations for petrochemical refining work.

At this moment, Xie Tian controlled Patton and negotiated with Chairman Han about whether he could squeeze out some of the guns and ammunition to support Pakistan in consolidating defense.

The current situation in Pakistan is not only lacking food, but the biggest threat lies in the Indians and zombies. The large amount of ammunition consumed has left Pakistani soldiers unable to guarantee their combat effectiveness. If the ammunition is cut off, let alone the Indian army of more than 100,000, even a small number of evolutionary zombies will be enough to make Pakistani people suffer.

Chairman Han said, "It is not a big problem to solve the problem of one or two hundred tons of ammunition, but there is no way to do it anymore. But think about a war, hundreds of tons of ammunition is drizzling, and the consumption of a casual battle is more than this. Our current situation is not very good. The south has just begun to stabilize, but there are still a large number of zombies in the central region that cannot be solved. We can only give Pakistan these first, and then we will find a way to start production. In addition, we are choosing, in fact, our country's ammunition reserves are still very large, but they are all scattered in various military regions, military camps, and some arsenals. You think of a way to bring out the materials from these places."

Xie Tian frowned and thought for a moment and said, "Now there are zombies gathering everywhere. It is not convenient to find some kind of material alone, but..."

"But what?" Chairman Han asked.

Xie Tiandao: "But we can consider the airborne search method, first concentrate all our helicopters, and then train a team specially used to find materials. In this way, if we determine a material point, we can quickly airborne the soldiers to the location, then quickly obtain materials and retreat as quickly as possible."

"This is a feasible solution." Chairman Han nodded and said, "We have not paid much attention to helicopters since the disaster began, so there are not many helicopters at present. The army near Yanjing once had several armed helicopters, but I remember one thing: helicopters do not have to go far, just solve them in Jiangxi."

"Jiangxi?" Xie Tian flipped through Patton's memory vigorously, and suddenly blurted out: "I understand! You are talking about Jingdezhen!"

"That's right." Chairman Han said with a smile: "It is China's largest helicopter research and development and production base. Changhe Aircraft Industry Group is located there, very close to your Fengcheng safety zone. You can find a way to let Xie Tian lead the soldiers there, and then I'll find a group of helicopter pilots to send you there."

Xie Tian nodded immediately and said, "I will give you instructions immediately after the petrochemical base in Shanghai is put into production."

...

There is no need to question Shanghai's industrial power, and its transportation is developed and its geographical location is excellent. This made Xie Tian start to consider developing Jiangxi into a production base and Shanghai into an industrial base. In this way, both sides can develop better.

After arriving in Shanghai, Xie Tian himself immediately came to Shanghai's oil terminal and stone storage base. The oil pipelines were connected from the terminal to the huge storage center. The tall and thick oil tanks were filled with oil imported from abroad. The information Xie Tian got from Patton that the aviation fuel manufacturer was located about ten kilometers away from here. Because they belong to Sinopec, there was a special oil pipeline here to lead to that manufacturer. As long as Xie Tian completed the power supply to these two places, the oil could be continuously sent to the factory.

It is not difficult for Xie Tian to restore power supply. Most of the industrial equipment is only unsupported and has not been damaged. He brought power personnel and many trained workers from Fengcheng. It is not difficult for them to open the power plant in Shanghai.

A thermal power plant closest to the wharf was selected. Xie Tianming sent the diesel generator set eliminated in the safety zone and completed assembly and startup in the power plant. If there was no power at all, it would be impossible for Xie Tian and others to complete the operation of such a large unit. However, now, with the power supply of generator sets and the remaining power coal reserves in the power plant, one unit of the power plant has restored its power supply capacity in one day.

Special electricians transformed the transmission lines, and the power supply lines in some areas were cut off. The power generated by the power plant was only transported to four locations, one was Hongqiao Railway Station, the other was Pudong Airport, and the other was oil storage base and aviation fuel manufacturer.

It was also on the day when power supply was restored, petrochemical experts led more than 200 newly recruited workers to Shanghai Hongqiao Station. Xie Tian personally took the vehicle to greet him. The crowd was taken directly to the aviation fuel production plant. On the way, Xie Tian assured these experts: "As long as the aviation fuel production can be restored, each expert will enjoy the highest level of food rations every day, and other materials will also do its best to guarantee you. Your mission is of great importance and there must be no delay."

An expert said, "Please rest assured that as long as there is no problem with the production equipment, we will provide necessary training to workers in the shortest time. The current production process is automated, and the workers' experience is not very important. We will check the core affairs. I believe there should be no problems!"

"That's good." Xie Tian nodded and said, "I'm already asking someone to clean up the staff dormitory in the factory for you. I can arrange it before dark today, so that you and these workers will live in the factory. I will send special cooks to come over for the issue of eating."

Several experts were also very satisfied with Xie Tian's arrangements. Before, although they were experts in Yanjing, although they were experts in the field, because the country did not need them, they had never received attention. Seeing that the railway experts and even senior motorcycle maintenance technicians were treated higher than them, these people were extremely unbalanced. Now, the country has handed over such an important task to them and promised them the best treatment. This is a kind of affirmation of them and has a great incentive effect on themselves.

After arriving at the factory, these experts saw that the power had been delivered and did not dare to delay for almost a moment. They immediately began to conduct a thorough inspection of the production line. Xie Tian gathered the other workers and said, "In the next time, you must do your best to familiarize yourself with the work here as quickly as possible. Once the production here begins, each of you will receive 500 grams of rice, 100 grams of meat, and 100 grams of vegetables every day."

"Leader, we may not be able to finish one and a half pounds of food a day." A worker quipped.

"It doesn't matter if you can't finish it." Xie Tian smiled and said, "I can't finish it. I'll give you raw rice as a subsidy. You can save the raw rice and exchange it for anything you want to exchange."

"Hey! Then I'll wait to save enough twenty kilograms of rice to marry a wife!" A young man said excitedly: "The girl who lived upstairs in Yanjing before said that if I could have twenty kilograms of rice and had a stable job, she would be willing to marry me!"

Xie Tian smiled helplessly and then said loudly: "Okay! Then you can do your best. Save enough 20 kilograms of rice and marry her back. I will arrange a new house for you in Shanghai and a stable job for your wife!"

In the end of the world, rice is the most purchasing power and stable currency. Most survivors in Yanjing have no jobs and only have the lowest food ration required to survive every day. They are like poor households who eat minimum living allowances. None of them does not want to find a job and make more money, that is, rice. If a person has a lot of rice in the end of the world, among the survivors in Yanjing, it is a symbol of rich people. Many girls are willing to marry someone with rice and a job, so that they can immediately improve their living conditions.

Now, there are more and more jobs that I can provide, and it is impossible to pay all the remunerations with rice in the future. Xie Tian began to think about whether to thoroughly implement the rice ticket policy, but if it is fully implemented, it will increase certain risks. After all, the technology of making rice tickets in Fengcheng is very common now and is easily counterfeited. Although there is no ability to counterfeit there at present, if it is covered by Shanghai and Yanjing, it may not be able to control it. Then, Xie Tian remembered the RMB. There is no need to doubt the printing ability of China Mint Company. Can they design a new currency that is universal across the country? The new currency can be designed with reference to the anti-counterfeiting method of the RMB, so that people can distinguish the authenticity when they get it. In this way, the currency can be used boldly across the country.
