Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 421 Make a fortune silently

Zhou Yi looked at the screen of the controller tablet.

In the satellite view, the long black bridge on the east coast of Emerald City crosses the Dead Sea, connects to the black spot-like Moon Landing Area, and passes through the newly created Moon Landing Area (the petal-shaped area created by the space hole) all the way north.

The long bridge continues to extend in the Dead Sea, and then from north to west, reaching the port of Fullmetal Alchemy City.

The black cross-sea bridge connecting the two places draws a number 7 on the Dead Sea.

From a bird's-eye view, this unprecedented long-distance infrastructure connection is quite shocking.

The more Zhou Yi looked at it, the more he liked it.

This is a big step towards breaking the blockade of the Dead Sea.

The viaduct gave real-time feedback: "Chairman, the bridge has only reached Class B strength, which is relatively weak and needs time to stabilize and strengthen. According to the current volume, it will take about 6 months to reinforce it to Class A strength."

"Next, I will gradually widen the bridge area so that it can accommodate more people traveling between the two places."

"Once this side is stable and the test results are OK, I will further expand the connection in the direction of Shell City."

Steel Refiner quickly ran to Shagang and knocked on the door downstairs of the unit with a robotic arm.

"Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhou!"

"It was so sudden! When I saw it, I thought it was some kind of projection! Is it real? Can it operate for a long time? Can people walk on it..."

"Such a long-distance bridge across the Dead Sea is an unprecedented feat in history!"

"How the hell is this done?!"

Zhou Yi briefly talked about the promotion of the viaduct.

The other party was even more astonished: "An alien at the level of a light core body... has never existed in the database... This, this is really amazing!"

It immediately turned into ecstasy, and let out a weird cackle, but the laughter was a bit harsh and mechanical, and it sounded a bit like a villain.

"No wonder you have been investing in the aliens without considering the return, Mr. Zhou. Once they break through the light core body, they will not only completely overcome the Dead Sea, but also use the power of the Dead Sea for their own benefit."

"Then all the investment and cultivation before this are worth it! You are indeed thoughtful and far-sighted! Chairman, great idea!"

Zhou Yi felt strange: "Where did you learn this flattery?"

"I upgraded the database and added a social model that was collected from local officials in various cities. This model is the latest development of the Program Department and Recursive City."

"According to statistics, the success rate of obtaining positive feedback and benefits during negotiations for electromechanical life forms that make good use of social models is 33% higher than when they do not use social models," said Gang Lian Gong.

“This is a very practical model, and I am currently studying and training in depth on it.”

"What do you think of my flattery skills and strength?"

Zhou Yi: “…”

He originally wanted to say that there was no need to do these things in the league.

But Zhou Yi thought again, the Steel Refining Company still needs to cooperate with other cities outside, and has various external negotiations. If there is a social model, it is not a bad thing to praise the other party a few more times.

Don't hit someone who smiles at you, and the data supports this.

So Zhou Yi said, "It's a bit stiff, and I need to continue to hone my skills."

"I see. Socializing is not an easy thing after all. I will continue to improve it. I'm sorry that your experience was not good."

"It's alright... let's get down to business."

Fullmetal Alchemist immediately shared some of his ideas.

"With this long bridge connecting Steel Refining City and Sand Harbor, electric cats can go directly through the bridge, and reinforced vehicles can carry people between the two places, and the mobility of people will be greatly enhanced."

"In the past, it took at least several days to transport metal tools, spare parts, refrigerant coal, and frozen drinks from our place. Because whether it is a glider or an airship, it needs to be scheduled and transferred and transported to the cabin."

"Now, things can be delivered from the Fullmetal Factory to Emerald City or Sand Harbor City within a day."

It spoke very quickly: "This greatly shortens the transportation cycle and can significantly reduce our inventory pressure, especially now that it is summer, and the demand for refrigeration coal and frozen drinks is huge."

"You may not know that Emerald City buys a lot of these two products, accounting for 15% of Fullmetal Alchemy City's sales... This is also because the employees here have high incomes and high demands for quality of life."

"Now we can do that thing like Shagang, what's it called? Takeout, yes, we can do that too!"

When it comes to the output of his territory, this mechanical and electrical lord knows it like the back of his hand.

"Chairman, some of the employees of the Wasteland Development Company have invested a lot of money in our Steel City."

Zhou Yi asked: "Investment?"

"Yes."

"Most of the company's employees are happy to make money and save it well. But there are a few employees who invest it abroad," said Mr. Steel.

"In Fullmetal Alchemy City, four skeleton engineers from the Manufacturing Department invested in building a small metal products factory, specializing in the production of bolts, nuts, screws and other metal products. Nowadays, power infrastructure requires a large number of related supporting parts, and these are exactly what they are in short supply. They hired dozens of our workers and have been in operation for half a year."

"There is also a wire and cable factory, which was invested and built by A Wei from the express delivery center and his good friend Jacob the Bone Man."

"Because the company is promoting the construction of electric catwalks, a large number of wires and wire nets need to be laid in various places, and the demand for copper wires is huge. After collecting the copper, they need to be drawn and wrapped with insulation... It is also a good business. Of course, we also have a large wire and cable factory in Steel Refining City that produces it."

Zhou Yi listened with great interest.

The Bones are smart and open-minded, and are already investing in future industries.

This can be considered as growth in the personal fields of employees.

“So if the two places are connected, I think there will be more employees from companies investing in Steel City.”

The Fullmetal Clan said confidently, "We have unique metal processing and smelting experience and industrial technology, and the employees in the company have funds. As long as the funds are brought to us, Fullmetal Clan will develop faster and more immigrants will get jobs. The workers' income has always been high."

Zhou Yi nodded: "That's good. But you have to supervise them. Although they are company employees, you have to abide by the rules of Fullmetal Alchemy City and treat them equally."

"clear."

Miedinggong also attached great importance to this cross-sea connection.

Shuanghe area is thousands of kilometers away from Shagang, and it arrives in Emerald City half an hour later than Fullmetal Alchemy.

"When will we connect to Shuanghe?" "Regardless of economic, security, or political interests, our side cannot compare to Fullmetal Alchemy City."

"It's our turn next, right?"

Zhou Yi told it: "Don't think about it for a while."

The puppet was furious and clenched his fists and said, "Why! According to strength and influence, Shuanghe is the one who should be favored the most in this alliance! It's not fair! Our Shuanghe region has also made great contributions to the alliance!"

Zhou Yi was so angry that he laughed.

Your Shuanghe area is 840 kilometers away from Beike City, and Beike City is 340 kilometers away from Shagang. The total distance is at least 1200 kilometers.

We must start by connecting with the nearby Fullmetal Alchemy City and Shell City.

Then gradually expand outward.

Zhou Yi immediately explained the principle to it.

The Wuhu viaduct has just been upgraded and needs to be advanced step by step.

The puppet governor insisted again and again: "I think it's pointless to do small things. If we are going to do it, we should do it on a big scale."

"Shuanghe is a very suitable place to serve as a model."

"It will directly connect the core Emerald City and the Two Rivers region. This ultra-long-distance bridge across the Dead Sea alone will be enough to create a technological deterrent to the outside world and make our customers more confident and loyal... There are many benefits."

Zhou Yi's face twitched when he heard this.

If you take too big a step, you might easily hurt yourself.

Finally, he had to say coldly: "Then let me ask you. Has the power infrastructure construction in Shuanghe been completed? Has the electric cat information network been built?"

"..."

Miedinggong immediately lowered his head and said nothing.

Finally it left in despair.

The completion of the cross-sea bridge attracted many congratulatory calls from the sea lords of the alliance, and heated discussions were held. However, this did not attract much discussion from outside, which made Zhou Yi feel strange.

Logically speaking, this kind of super infrastructure project that breaks through the blockade of the Dead Sea should be a top hot topic and explosive news. Even if the Mechanical and Electrical City deliberately treats it coldly, other places should not have no discussion at all.

He was deeply puzzled by this.

The Kestrel has an answer for this.

"Zhou, many areas have tried various methods to break through the Dead Sea before."

"The most famous of these are the Kingdom of Heaven [artificial floating island] and the Electromechanical City [Dead Sea Reconstruction Project]."

Zhou Yi knew the latter, but it was the first time he heard of the former.

"Heaven tried to breed a large number of bubble fish, so that they could produce a large amount of feces to form floating islands. Then through human intervention and transformation, a large enough floating island group was created to expand and increase the land area."

Hong Xun said: "This is feasible in theory, but there are many obstacles in actual implementation."

"Bubble fish cannot live in large numbers in the same area. They are very sensitive to their living territory. If they are too crowded, they will become weak, crazy, alienated, and even die."

"The floating island has a weak bearing capacity. If it is to be strong enough to carry heavy houses, steel, stone and other materials, the cultivation cycle will take more than 50 years."

"Another problem is pollution. The feces of the bubble fish are not harmless. They release toxic substances that are harmful to humans. Over time, it will cause the people on the island to have severe hallucinations, unable to distinguish between reality and illusion, and accompanied by severe physiological bleeding."

"So the [Artificial Floating Island] project was carried out for 20 years and was eventually banned, which was equivalent to declaring it a failure. The Kingdom of Heaven spent more than 1800 million light seeds on this, and has not started a similar project since then."

"[Dead Sea Transformation Project] has been studying the Dead Sea for a long time and has developed some new technologies and data. However, whether it is cleaning the Dead Sea, purifying the Dead Sea, or building an underwater city, these attempts ultimately failed, and the total cost exceeded 2300 million light seeds."

"The two largest groups on the surface have both failed."

“So, the outside world has little hope for the transformation of the Dead Sea and artificial land. Even though the company is currently in the limelight, most people are still skeptical and wait-and-see.”

"The artificial floating islands were also very exciting at first, but after a few years, residents began to die frequently. They entered the Dead Sea in a hallucination and found no trace of their bodies. The death toll exceeded 20... The transformation of the Dead Sea was the same. Collapse, leakage, consciousness pollution, high pressure, and impact caused the death of more than 1044 mechanical and electrical lives."

"There are too many precedents. All parties will be extremely cautious about this kind of experimental project."

After it said this, Zhou Yi understood.

It is a consensus among all parties that similar super projects require time to be tested.

In the wasteland world, there has not yet been any light core level structural life.

Naturally, no one has ever seen the infrastructure strength at the light core level.

Zhou Yi changed his mind.

This is more beneficial to me. Most people are skeptical and waiting. I will make a fortune with the viaduct quietly. It will take a few years for them to come to their senses.

So Zhou Yi immediately changed his strategy and asked all parties not to actively publicize this matter. When asked about it, he only said that it was a technical project that was still under testing.

……

At this juncture.

Xiaofu suddenly spoke up: "Da Zhou, it's time to build a Spark Civilization. The sooner this step is taken, the better."

"Now that the conditions are ripe, the electric cats are excellent basic fire life units."

"Once the Spark Civilization is built, you will have your own conceptual object - or, in other words, conceptual life."

"It will not only become an extension of our consciousness to the outside world, but will also resonate and connect with all electric cats..."

Zhou Yi became more spirited after hearing this.

Can I create a conceptual life for myself?

He immediately rubbed his hands in anticipation.

"How do we fix it?"
