Chapter 18: Arrival at Daqing! Reward: Family Independence Starter Pack!
Zhang Xue Ming turned back to look at Ma Mao Xun.
"Find a few thieves from the prisoners who can break into houses and pick locks, then take them and a platoon and pretend to be bandits. Go into the city and bring that Gu Rui Yu back to me tonight!"
"Ah?" Ma Mao Xun was stunned: "Young Marshal, you're not going into the city?"
"Why would I go into the city!"
He was joking.
Zhang Xue Ming wouldn't do anything like disguising himself to enter the city, pretending to be a commoner, throwing around money, trying to win the smile of an actress, only to have a pampered young master interfere, reveal his identity, scare the young master, and then heroically save the actress. It was a cliché storyline!
Who was he?
The second son of the Zhang family in Fengtian.
A warlord's son!
If he could use guns to solve things.
Why bother talking?
Besides, he needed to hurry on his way, to get to Daqing as quickly as possible.
Finding a one-zhang-red was a matter of killing two birds with one stone.
He couldn't let a woman!
Delay his grand ambitions of opening a base and establishing a new family!
No woman in my heart!
Drawing the sword, I am naturally divine!
Once I establish a base, wherever tank treads pass, there will be grass everywhere!
"Understood!"
Zhang Mao Xun gave a military salute and led his subordinates away quickly.
The main force continued forward.
.......
Time flew by.
Seven days later.
Just as Zhang Xue Ming was studying how far the one-zhang-red, who had practiced martial arts, could split her legs, he suddenly heard a pleasant system notification!
【Ding! Respected Host, you have reached your designated destination!】
【Yes/No, set this location as your new family's ancestral home!】
(Reminder! Once an ancestral home is established, it can only be moved using a Relocation Card! Otherwise, it cannot be moved!)
He had arrived!
Zhang Xue Ming was delighted and immediately pulled back the cloth covering the carriage!
Before him was a vast expanse of wasteland overgrown with weeds, with unmelted snow on the ground!
Even so.
He could still see many pools of black, oily water seeping through the mud, looking extremely dirty.
Behind Zhang Xue Ming!
Zhang Shu Zhen saw this scene.
She couldn't help but frown.
"Master, why did you bring me to this mud pit!"
Zhang Xue Ming laughed!
Damn it!
Mud pit?
You really dare to say that!
In the future, countless people would fight to the death for this mud pit!
He slapped Zhang Shu Zhen on the butt.
"You silly woman, you know nothing!"
"This, my dear, is the future, the treasure that will ensure our children's prosperity!"
With oil!
He would soon become a rich landlord, a Sha Ma Ren!
Zhang Xue Ming didn't hesitate for a moment.
"System! Establish a family here!"
【Ding! Respected Host, your family has successfully become independent from the Zhang family of Fengtian!】
【Congratulations on receiving the 'Family Independence Resource Pack'!】
【Rewards: Excavator construction machinery 100 units (including operators), cement 500,000 tons, steel 500,000 tons, rubber 500,000 tons, rare non-ferrous metals 500,000 tons, oil 10,000 barrels...】
【You have received 156 items of Soviet-aided infrastructure blueprints and 300 related experts】
As the system notification echoed.
Streams of data appeared in Zhang Xue Ming's mind.
The sheer volume and complexity.
Made Zhang Xue Ming's mind short-circuit for ten minutes before he regained consciousness.
However, the more he sorted through the rewards in his mind.
The more surprised Zhang Xue Ming became.
"Wow! This independence reward is ridiculously generous!"
Not to mention the vast quantities of construction machinery and materials.
Just the 156 Soviet-aided infrastructure blueprints.
Were enough to shock Zhang Xue Ming.
The 156 projects that the Soviets aided in.
Were known as the '156 Project' domestically!
It included.
Everything from petrochemicals, oil power generation, even power plant construction.
Down to cement factories, steel mills, oil refineries, even tractor factories.
It covered everything.
It was a 'Newbie Starter Pack' gifted to the Republic by the Big Brother!
It was the greatest affirmation of the Republic's resistance to the United States and aid to North Korea!
With this gift package.
After the First Five-Year Plan.
The Republic went directly from an agricultural country to a primary industrial nation.
It directly completed industrialization.
How amazing was that?
It ended the Republic's thousands of years of agricultural civilization.
It laid a solid foundation for the future rise of the Great Xia.
As fate would have it.
Of the 156 projects, 50 were located in the Northeast.
Including: Anshan Iron and Steel Works, Fushun Power Plant, Fushun West Open-Pit Mine, Fushun Petrochemical No. 2 Plant, Fushun Aluminum Plant, Shenyang First Machine Tool Plant, Bohai Shipyard, Shenyang Aviation Industry School, and many more.
These were all heavy industries and large machinery factories.
A perfect match for Zhang Xue Ming's current location.
With this!
Even if he simply followed the blueprints.
Zhang Xue Ming could build a vast industrial empire in 1916!
"Where should I start construction?"
【Ding! Respected Host, do you want to open the 3D bird's-eye view?】
Zhang Xue Ming was taken aback, subconsciously clicking the system notification.
In an instant!
He felt like he had suddenly become a bird, flying over the Daqing Oil Field.
Mountains, rivers, villages, mineral deposits.
All kinds of data were marked as virtual images!
"Hiss—"
Zhang Xue Ming was astonished!
"Isn't this instantly turning into a real-time strategy construction mode?"
