Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 206 The Scented Public Area

Week 2 of the Honor War.

The air strikes continued.

After the initial panic and heavy casualties, both cities gradually learned how to cope. A large number of residents were moved to the town's underground caves, and some tools and daily consumables were made using the hills as cover, and casualties quickly dropped.

High-altitude bombing dealt a devastating blow to the city’s infrastructure and severely damaged the local economy.

The greatest achievement of the Development Alliance was that after the Concentrator joined the battle, it injured and shot down a thunder beast. The thunder beast finally relied on its strong vitality to withstand the bombardment and pursuit of Bedou Gong, broke through and joined the rear support, and escaped.

Lord Mieding's fleet is constantly increasing its troops and pressing forward.

The sea defense line was constantly penetrated, Bei Dugong led the team to hold the front, constantly making detours to buy time. Qin Xie's heavy patrol escort frequently penetrated the enemy's rear to harass and conduct guerrilla warfare.

All this depends on Zhou Yi sharing the satellite navigation.

The information advantage allows the front line to have room to maneuver and avoid direct collision with the enemy's main forces.

But even so, human troops from the Lord of Mie Ding landed one after another during the dark and air raids to infiltrate and invade the Shell City area. The Beiyang Corps' multi-layered defense showed its value at this time, making it almost impossible for these people to approach the city.

The air strikes failed to expand the results of the battle, the main defense force could not be defeated in the Dead Sea, and the landing was strongly blocked by the defenders.

Although the enemy had air superiority and initiative, they were unable to convert this into victory.

The war entered its first stalemate.

……

"The latest news from Coral Mouth."

The red falcon flew with four wings: "We forbid the dumping of Jade Soup and Goblet of Fire in Shuanghe District, but Shuanghe District has been buying them at high prices through secondary purchases and other merchants taking the lead."

“Golden Wing asked, should sanctions be imposed in response to this, further increasing the cost of obtaining related goods in the Shuanghe region?”

Zhou Yi was eating a hot baked sweet potato.

He asked the drone: "Do you have to buy our jade soup?"

"It's not just our region that's going to war in winter. Emerald Soup has stood out in war practice and is recognized as the best quality military ration. It's light, easy to transport and store, can quickly replenish physical strength, and is very cheap."

Hong Xun said: "In addition, the Flame Cup has gradually been modified and developed for a variety of uses. In winter, it can not only keep warm and cook, but also protect some important equipment from freezing, which can greatly reduce fuel consumption and transportation. Currently, the Flame Cup has been sold faster than the Emerald Soup, and it is basically in short supply."

"The sea lords from all sides are rushing to buy the Emerald Soup and the Goblet of Fire. The military supply department of the Kingdom of Heaven has also signed a three-year large order with Coral Mouth to continue purchasing the Emerald City set."

"The Mieding Gongfang can't find a better alternative at the moment, so they have to entrust merchants from various cities to purchase it for them."

Zhou Yi licked his fingers and said, "Then increase the sanctions and make them bleed more."

Another voice came from the Red Falcon's speaker: "I'm Jin Yi, hello Mr. Zhou, I want to discuss a situation with you."

"Coral Mouth has counted the current number of orders, and the Program Department has come to a conclusion after calculation: Coral Mouth's production capacity can no longer keep up with the market demand for Jade Soup and Goblet of Fire."

"Even if we continue to expand the factory, it is not enough for Coral Mouth alone to supply the needs of various regions. Currently, 74 cities have signed orders for Emerald City sets with us, and this number is still increasing. If the production scale is too large, there will be certain systemic risks."

"So we think we need to find other electromechanical cities to do OEM and share the output pressure."

Zhou Yi was a little surprised.

Coral Mouth can’t produce anymore.

They are indeed strong in trade and have opened up channels to various places in a short period of time.

"no problem."

Zhou Yi expressed his understanding: "But we must choose a reliable cooperation city."

"Of course, so your opinion is crucial. According to the agreement, we can only authorize outsourcing with your consent."

Jin Yi said: "There are 138 electromechanical cities, and each of them can theoretically cooperate in processing. However, considering that it is manufacturing, processing, and foreign export trade, there are some specialized cities to choose from..."

Zhou Yi interrupted: "I suggest choosing Recursive City."

"Recursion City is a small electromechanical city that is mainly engaged in the service industry."

Jin Yi said: "Of course we can cooperate with them, but if they want to expand production, it may take some time to build new factories and supporting facilities... Besides, because the industry does not match, they may not be willing to do so."

Zhou Yi also wanted to develop the mechanical and electrical cities that the two companies cooperated on to form a stable trade channel.

But after Jin Yi's explanation, he calmed down.

Mechanical and electrical cities each have their own directions and specialties, and indeed cannot be transformed rigidly. Recursive cities also have a lot of room for growth in the service industry themselves.

In the end, he discussed with Jin Yi and chose the "mass production city" among many mechanical and electrical cities.

Mass Production City is located 1900 kilometers southwest of Coral Mouth. It is a large manufacturing and processing city with very mature infrastructure, technology and algorithms.

The products they manufacture include tie rods, connecting rods, pins, shafts, screws, nuts, rings, brackets, machine bases, etc. of steel accessories.

There are also seamless iron boxes for making energy packs, outer shell frames for light boxes, etc.

And various glass products used for high-precision operations - the touch screen enhanced processor that Zhou Yi bought for his employees, the screen was produced by the mass production city.

The mass production market specializes in manufacturing and processing. As long as the production line is improved and the process procedures are adjusted, the production of Jade Soup and Flame Cup can be started immediately. The raw materials are purchased from outside according to the standards.

They were very happy about this and signed a supplementary cooperation agreement with Zhou Yi and Shanhukou.

War increases the demand for military food and basic tools. The more the parties fight, the more the demand for Emerald Soup and Goblet of Fire becomes scarce.

The same goes for express delivery centers.

The number of Bonefish couriers has increased to 18, but the harsh winter environment makes transportation more difficult and delayed, and the efficiency and speed of Wasteland Express are particularly prominent.

Zhou Yi discovered that this was a peculiar lever.

The turbulent winter is actually the time when companies make huge profits, while the usual production development becomes the time to spend money laying the foundation.

The two complement each other.

Without daily accumulation, exploration and improvement of technical processes, there will be no competitive products to offer in winter - whether it is goods or services.

Ultimately, there has to be something irreplaceable.

Zhou Yi knew very well that although the Jade Soup and the Flame Cup were very popular now and everyone was scrambling to buy them, it was because they were in the bonus period. After this period of time, there might be counterfeit and competitive products appearing by next year at the latest.

By then, there will be more or less some impact and some market share will be taken away.

The key is to keep coming up with new things.

Don't think that you can solve it once and for all.

In the era that Zhou Yi lives in, too many former giants have faded into obscurity, or have been eliminated because they could not keep up with the new wave. These are all living examples.

Hong Jian agreed: "This idea of preparing for a rainy day is correct. What is the next direction of the company?"

Zhou Yi said: "We should strengthen the development of agriculture and the exploitation of mineral resources in the Dead Sea. These are two long-term industries."

"I can understand mining. The amount of amber in the Dead Sea is huge, and it has great potential and development value."

The drone said: "But how can agriculture develop? The land in the Sand Harbor area has already limited the scale and variety of crops, which is an unchangeable fact."

Zhou Yi smiled and said, "During the Age of Gods, prehistoric humans were already able to grow rice, potatoes, wheat, and various fruits in the desert."

"You don't even need a lot of land. You can grow crops without soil. If you expand crops into the air in layers like a building like Emerald City, theoretically there will be a lot of space for planting."

"Of course, I also know that the company's current agricultural technology is still very backward. But that at least proves that this path is feasible and has a bright future. We must continue to invest in agriculture and develop agriculture in the Shagang area."

"Eating well will help people be in better physical and mental condition. More food can feed more people, and more people can generate more creativity."

Red Falcon was suspicious: "Are you sure?"

"I saw it in the Dead Sea Scrolls. It's true."

"It will take a lot of investment to go in this direction, and it will take a long time of trial and error."

Hong Jian reminded him, "I originally thought you wanted to be self-sufficient, but now it seems that you want to use this place as a test field to try to change the current agricultural situation under the premise of fixed space and environment."

Zhou Yi stretched his body and said, "Although many mechatronic cities are engaged in agriculture, including the agricultural machinery brothers, in fact, mechatronic life can never understand the desire of flesh and blood life like humans for food. This is a difference determined by physiological structure."

“To you, it’s a job, but to us, it’s a pursuit of life and enjoyment.”

"..."

Red Falcon's electronic eyes flickered. "I think you are right, just like you cannot understand our fear of annual inspections and insufficient light seeds in the photon box."

"Do not."

Zhou Yi shook his head: "We are the same in this respect. All life is afraid of poverty and illness. Therefore, we still have to make money well."

Winter is already halfway through.

However, Zhou Yi had not received any news from Haluk.

This kid hasn't crossed over yet, which makes him a little worried, so he decides to go to the dark domain to take a look.

But just when Zhou Yi was about to set off, he suddenly received a message from the Emerald City.

"Commissioner, I have successfully connected with Yalong Bay."

“We built the commons.”

"We're having this conversation in the common area right now, and it's a little bit tense, but it's really weird, and I feel like I'm getting smarter."

Zhou Yi was stunned for a moment, then he was overjoyed.

Was the connection to replicate United City successful?
He followed the news from the Emerald City all the way to the connection point outside the city.

Then Zhou Yi saw that there were two dark rooms. People came out from them from time to time, and the wind they brought out was accompanied by some strong stench.

Among them was a young man he recognized.

Ah Wei also noticed Zhou Yi. He pulled up his pants and greeted him happily: "Chairman, are you here to poop too?"

"..."

Zhou Yi's face twitched.

How come the public area where you were having conversation was turned into a public toilet?
