Chapter 74: Farm Construction and Military Expansion!

After the establishment of the Mechanicus on Ers, the first task that Ron gave them was to build a new Green Wave Farm.

After all, the existing food reserves can only last for about half a year.

If the farm is not established quickly and new food crops are planted, the Royal Court District will fall into famine again after half a year.

Therefore, the construction of the farm is urgent.

After Moss's survey, the address of the new farm was chosen in the original huge warehouse area of ​​the Royal Court District.

There is the most spacious space and good light there.

Moss and Caul, the two technical priests, used the farm technology of the Golden Age, plus the special energy core, seed cultivation device, fertilizer manufacturing machine, simulated weather device, water purifier, etc. moved back from the original Green Wave Farm.

Then, the existing technology and construction resources of the entire Royal Court District were combined to design a huge three-dimensional farm.

Of course, that was just a construction design. It would take a long time to build the entire farm.

It can only be done step by step.

After the design was completed, the Royal Court District launched the vigorous first phase of the construction project of the new Green Wave Farm.

In order to prevent the destruction of the Horman family, all nearby areas were specially cleared and strict protection measures were set up.

Fortunately, the farm was located in the core area of ​​the Wangting District, so it was not so easy to be attacked.

If it was located in the middle and outer areas, it might be subject to endless attacks and harassment.

Soon, the first phase of the new Green Wave Farm was completed.

The estimated output of food can maintain the minimum consumption of the existing population in the Wangting District and realize circulation.

Of course, it will take a long time for the existing farm to be completely built and mechanical automation has not been achieved.

The more important reason is that manpower in the Wangting District is cheaper and more cost-effective than machinery.

Therefore, the planting and care of crops in the farm will be the responsibility of special planting workers.

This is an extremely sacred job. Only the most loyal activist families have the opportunity to be selected as planting workers.

Those who were selected came to the farm and saw the legendary soil that they had never seen in their lives.

Yes, Ron also moved back a large amount of high-quality soil that had never been polluted from the original Green Wave Farm.

Those who saw the soil all cried bitterly, knelt down and kissed it, thanking the great God Emperor and the benevolent Governor for their gifts.

They stayed in the farm for a long time with a sacred mentality, taking care of every seed and seedling like taking care of a baby.

Soon, the seedlings of the crops were planted.

The farm was running well.

In order to prevent accidents, Ron also arranged the guard machinery brought back from the original Green Wave Farm around the farm.

Unexpectedly, the energy cannon of the guard machinery really killed several spies who tried to sneak in.

After the farm was successfully built and operated, Ron turned his attention to other things.

In fact, during the construction of the farm, he summoned Yarui and Keith, the main leaders of the defense force, and authorized them to recruit soldiers.

Ron planned to expand the number of defense forces from 30,000 to 80,000.

The Wangting District had enough weapons and equipment, but it just couldn't afford so many people.

Now that there was enough food, he expanded the force by nearly 50,000 in one go.

This was already the limit that the Wangting District could bear.

Ron basically didn't have to worry about the recruitment and training, and left it entirely to Yarui and Keith.

They were legendary characters at first glance, and they could definitely help him train a strong defense force.

At the same time, he also commissioned Moss and Kaul to study the guard machinery to optimize and manufacture the existing standard laser rifles and laser cannons.

Now the entire Royal Court District is making the final war mobilization and is fully engaged in the production of various materials needed for the war.

When the defense army is trained and equipped with new weapons, he will directly launch a decisive battle.

At that time, he will personally lead the guards and defense force A to completely eliminate the Horman family and unify the nest!

——

With the confirmation of the recruitment plan and the allocation of materials, the great expansion of the army began.

Those young people and even middle-aged people of appropriate age are frantically signing up to join the army, with an attitude of fighting to the death for the Royal Court District.

At the gate of the recruitment office.

A thin middle-aged man failed to meet the recruitment qualifications.

He knelt on the ground and prayed that the defense army would make an exception and accept him.

In the past, such people were already qualified soldiers.

But as food supplies increased, people's physical condition improved a lot.

A middle-aged man with such a thin and sickly physique is no longer eligible for conscription.

The middle-aged man looked determined:

"Sergeant, please accept me.

I am determined to give everything for His Majesty the Divine Emperor and the Governor!"

He had no other choice.

There are five people in his family. His mother is old, his wife has recently been paralyzed due to a work-related injury, and his two children are still young.

He is the only laborer left in the family.

Under the current situation, he can't support so many people.

Only by joining the defense force can he save his family.

The salary of the defense force is more than twice that of the workers, and becoming a non-commissioned officer can enjoy the type II corpse starch stick containing one-tenth of wheat flour.

Such a salary is enough to support his family.

Even if he died in battle, the pension he received would be enough to support his family for a period of time.

If he became a combat hero, his name could be engraved under the stone tablet of the statue of the Divine Emperor.

That is the incomparable gift and honor given by the Governor!

The children of combat heroes will be given priority in being selected to join the defense force.

If you don't want to join the defense force, you can also get priority to enter the major factories in the Royal Court District and get a good job.

Among them, outstanding children have the opportunity to enter the internal affairs agency, the Imperial Church, and even the Mechanicus, and become grassroots auxiliary personnel.

The best children will have a better chance to enter the Loyalty Academy that will be prepared in the future.

They will study with the children of nobles and officials and be trained as the future elites of the Royal Court District.

In Ron's vision, the Loyalty Academy he established will be different from the original Loyalty Academy of the Empire.

It is slightly less cruel, and of course the possibility of sacrifice in learning is not ruled out.

The Loyalty Academy will admit and teach loyal and outstanding children from all walks of life according to their respective contributions and powers.

Including but not limited to outstanding heroic orphans, nobles, officials' children, genius prodigies, etc.

They will study together and become the elites of various institutions in the Royal Court District in the future.

Of course, the Loyalty Academy is only in the preparation stage now, and there is no condition to establish it.

Such an illusory opportunity alone is enough to drive those people at the bottom crazy.

They have decided to join the defense force and give everything for the benevolent governor!

That was the case with the middle-aged man.

Whether it was to support his family or for the future of his family, he had to fight to the death.

However, he was not selected, but he was unwilling to accept it!

But no matter how he begged, he was still coldly rejected.

"Please, let me join, this is my last hope!"

The middle-aged man yelled, begged, knelt down and kowtowed, and even hugged the sergeant's thigh.

But the sergeant's eyes became even colder.

He whipped the middle-aged man a few times on the grounds of disrupting discipline, and then asked the defense soldiers to drag him away.

If it weren't for the new rules of the Governor, such a person would have been shot on the spot.

"What's the matter?"

Yarui came over, frowning, and staring at everyone coldly with his scarlet mechanical eyes.

The sergeant calmly reported the situation to Yarui.

The middle-aged man begged Yarui, his eyes determined:

"Sir, I can fight, I am willing to sacrifice my life for the Governor!"
