After visiting the livestock farm in Shenwu Pass, David and the others were already surprised.

The scale of livestock farming here is so large, no wonder it can be eaten so well in the last days. It made David and others envious.

They then visited some important factories and construction sites in Shenwuguan.

These places also surprised Americans.

Let's start with the factory.

There are naturally many factories in Shenwuguan, and it is now the most important material distribution center of Huaxia.

There is no shortage of production equipment and raw materials, which is very conducive to the formation of a complete industrial system.

Therefore, Shenwu Pass has set up a large industrial zone in the southeast of Shenwu City, where there are all kinds of factories. It can be produced from small screws to large tanks and armored vehicles.

In addition, in addition to Shenwuguan itself, there are also many surrounding settlements that have come here to invest in factories. What I like is the geographical advantage here.

The equipment and raw materials were bought locally, produced in Shenwu Pass, and some of them were shipped back to their settlements for use. The excess is sold on the spot.

Therefore, the entire industrial area presents a very busy scene.

People can't help but feel happy when they see it. Now in the last days, what people fear most is quiet!

And the United States, although before the end of the world they were the largest industrial power in the world.

After the end of the world, their various survivor settlements also quickly established their own industrial systems.

And they have very advanced automated production equipment in their hands. Large-scale industrial production can be carried out with very little labor.

But they have a fatal problem.

That is, the industrial system is not perfect!

For example, they have a fully automated vehicle assembly plant, which can be transformed into an automated vehicle production line with a little modification.

However, there is a lack of equipment and factories to produce these small accessories such as screws and nuts.

Because most of these were OEM produced overseas in the past, only a small part of the domestic production was made.

And because it is a large-scale automated factory production, their output is very concentrated. In the United States, it is estimated that there are a few large factories that produce such screws and nuts.

Although he also has a large number of industrial machine tools, which can produce various equipment.

But in the conditions of lack of experience and technology. It's not easy to make those devices out of thin air.

And they also have a lot of other equipment that needs to be made urgently.

Unlike Huaxia, you can usually find a lot of small processing workshops of this kind of small accessories around some large factories. There are many of them everywhere, and it's much easier to find. It is easier to put together a whole complete industrial system by putting together a variety of small factories.

As for the construction site, David and the others were surprised by the completeness of all kinds of construction materials and construction equipment in Shenwu Pass.

Huaxia used to be a fast-growing country.

Construction is taking place everywhere in the country, from highway and bridge construction, to hotel real estate development, to rural self-built houses, large and small construction sites, almost everywhere.

Although the equipment is not necessarily advanced, some are even very dilapidated and rusty. In many construction sites, a cement mixer can be pulled by a tractor.

But it's so expensive that it's easy to find. Cement and steel bars are easy to find, too. Later, when the industry came up, it was still able to produce itself.

On the American side, it is not so convenient in comparison.

They are developed countries. A lot of things were built decades ago.

Therefore, they have fewer projects under construction, so the environment will be much better than that of Huaxia. Unlike Huaxia, which is full of dust everywhere, it will be dusty in less than half a day when you wear leather shoes and go out.

But after the end of the world, this has become an advantage.

It also made David and others envious.

Then, David and the others also went to visit the warehouse of Shenwu Pass.

The moment the people of Shenwuguan opened the granary, these Americans knelt even more directly.

Because of the bumper harvest in Shenwuguan last year and the year before last, their warehouses have been filled with grain.

The spectacle of the spectacle, the abundance of grain, David had only seen before the end of the world.

He couldn't help but be amazed, and said, "Oh God! Too much! Too much! That's just too much! ”

He turned his head to look at Qin Mushan and said excitedly, "I didn't expect your food reserves to be so rich!" ”

Qin Mushan said with a smile: "Hehe, it's nothing. Because to the north of our Shenwu Pass, it is in Mengxian Province. It's even more sparsely populated than your central and north-central parts of America. There is only one county seat in Zhangbei County that has slightly more people. ”

He continued: "But the year before last, with the help of Yangcheng and the Iron Castle, we wiped out all the zombies in Zhangbei County. Gained control of a large amount of land in the surrounding area. And it's also relatively less arid. So a lot of wheat and corn can be grown. ”

Indeed, "sparsely populated" and "not too arid" are key to post-apocalyptic agriculture.

In the United States, many people ran to the sparsely populated desert areas that were central and north-central to survive.

There are really no zombies here, though.

But it's also very dry.

In the past, the United States was able to develop agriculture here thanks to a large number of hydraulic projects and advanced irrigation technology.

In the past, if you looked at the central and north-central parts of the United States through satellite maps, you would find that there were many green pies ranging from 200 to 500 meters in diameter on the ground.

These are the fields that have been carved out of the desert through irrigation technology.

However, after the end of the world, many water conservancy facilities should be abandoned because there is no power supply.

At the same time, even with advanced mechanized irrigation technology, it is not possible to actually grow on a large scale in the desert.

So the food reserves of the United States have been very tight. The balance between production and consumption can only be barely maintained. If you want to store as much food as Shenwu Pass, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do it in a short period of time.

At this time, David couldn't help but ask very curiously: "My old friend, how much grain do you have here?" ”

Qin Mushan smiled and replied generously: "At present, it is about 450,000 tons. ”

"Hiss......" David suddenly took a sharp breath of cold air. Exaggeratedly, he said, "Oh, God! There were 450,000 tons. As you mentioned in the morning, your current population is about 470,000, and if you calculate it according to the standard of 1 pound of grain per person per day. Then the food reserves here are enough for you to eat for more than 5 years! ”

"What's this!" Wang Zhentao said disapprenousively: "David, that's because you haven't been to the Steel Castle yet. Otherwise, you'll really be scared by the food reserves of the Iron Keep. ”

David said in surprise: "You mean, the Iron Castle has more food reserves!" ”
