Wasteland Development Diary

The second week of the War of Honor.

The air raids continued.

After the initial panic and heavy casualties, both cities gradually learned how to cope. A large number of residents were transferred to the town cellars, and some tools and daily necessities were manufactured using the hills as cover, and personnel losses soon decreased.

High-altitude bombing caused devastating damage to the city's infrastructure, severely impacting the local economy.

The Development Alliance's greatest achievement was injuring and shooting down a Thunder Beast after the participation of the Spotlight - the Thunder Beast eventually relied on its powerful vitality to withstand the bombardment and pursuit of Duke Beidu, broke through and joined forces with rear support, and escaped.

Duke Mieting's fleet was constantly increasing its troops and exerting pressure.

The sea defense line was constantly breached, and Duke Beidu led the team to resist the front, constantly maneuvering to buy time. Qin Xie's heavy cruiser escort frequently interspersed behind enemy lines, harassing and conducting guerrilla warfare.

All of this depended on Zhou Yi sharing satellite navigation.

The information advantage allowed the front line to have room to maneuver, avoiding direct collision with the enemy's main forces.

But even so, Duke Mieting's human forces successively landed under the cover of darkness and air raids, infiltrating and invading the Beishell City area. The Northern Ocean Legion's multi-layered defense then demonstrated its value, making it difficult for these people to approach the city.

The air raids could not expand the results, the main defense force could not be defeated on the Dead Sea, and the landing was strongly blocked by the defending army.

Duke Mieting occupied the air superiority and initiative, but could not translate it into victory.

The war fell into its first stalemate.

...

"Latest news from Coral Port."

The Red Falcon's four wings whirred: "We prohibit the dumping of Emerald Soup and Flame Cups in the Shuanghe area, but the Shuanghe area buys them secondarily and purchases them at high prices everywhere through other merchants."

"Golden Wing asks whether to impose sanctions on this point to further increase the cost of Shuanghe area obtaining related commodities?"

Zhou Yi was eating a hot baked sweet potato.

He asked the drone: "Is it necessary to buy our Emerald Soup?"

"The winter war is not limited to our area. Emerald Soup has stood out in war practice and has been recognized as the best quality military food. It is light in weight, easy to transport and store, can quickly replenish physical strength and power, and the price is very low."

The Red Falcon said: "In addition, the Flame Cup has gradually been transformed and developed for various purposes. In winter, it can not only keep warm and cook, but also provide antifreeze treatment for some important equipment, which can greatly reduce fuel consumption and transportation. Currently, the Flame Cup is selling even faster than Emerald Soup, and is basically in short supply."

"The lords of all territories are snapping up Emerald Soup and Flame Cups, and the Celestial Kingdom's military supply department has also signed a three-year large order with Coral Port, which will continue to purchase the Emerald City Set."

"Duke Mieting's side cannot find a better substitute, so they have to entrust merchants from various cities to purchase on their behalf."

Zhou Yi licked his fingers: "Then increase the sanctions and make them bleed a little more."

Another voice sounded from the Red Falcon's loudspeaker: "I am Golden Wing, hello Mr. Zhou, I would like to discuss a situation with you."

"Coral Port has counted the current number of orders, and the programming department has come to a conclusion after calculation: Coral Port's production capacity can no longer keep up with the market's demand for Emerald Soup and Flame Cups."

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

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

Zhou Yi was a little surprised.

Coral Port actually can't produce enough.

Their trade is indeed strong, and they have opened up channels in various places in a short period of time.

"No problem."

Zhou Yi expressed his understanding: "But you must choose reliable cooperative cities."

"Of course, so your opinion is very important. According to the agreement, we need your consent before we can authorize OEM to the outside world."

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

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

"Recursive City is a small electromechanical city that focuses on the service industry."

Golden Wing said: "Of course, we can also cooperate with them, but if they want to expand production, they may need some time to build new factories and supporting facilities... Furthermore, because the industries do not match, they may not be willing."

Zhou Yi was still thinking about getting these two electromechanical cities that the company cooperated with up and running to form a stable trade channel.

However, after Golden Wing said this, he also calmed down.

Electromechanical cities have their own directions and specialties, and they really can't be forced to transform. Recursive City's service industry itself has a lot of room for growth.

In the end, he and Golden Wing discussed it and chose "Mass Production City" from the many electromechanical cities.

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

The products they manufacture include steel fittings such as tie rods, connecting rods, pins, shafts, screws, nuts, ferrules, brackets, and machine bases.

There are also seamless tin boxes for making energy packs, and the outer frame of the light receiver box, etc.

As well as various glass products for high-precision operation - the touch screen enhancement processor that Zhou Yi bought for his employees, the screen is produced by Mass Production City.

Mass Production City specializes in manufacturing and processing. As long as the production line is improved and the process program is adjusted, it can immediately start manufacturing Emerald Soup and Flame Cups, and the raw materials are purchased by them according to the standard.

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

The war has increased the demand for military food and basic tools.

The more fiercely the various parties fight, the more Emerald Soup and Flame Cups are in short supply.

The same is true for the express delivery center.

The number of bone fish couriers has increased to 18, but the harsh winter environment makes transportation more difficult and delayed, and the high efficiency and speed of wasteland express delivery is particularly prominent.

Zhou Yi found that this is a peculiar leverage.

The turbulent winter is when the company makes a lot of money, and the usual production and development turns into when you should spend money to lay the foundation.

The two complement each other.

Without the usual accumulation, exploration, and improvement of technical processes, there would be no competitive products that can be offered in winter - whether it is goods or services.

In the final analysis, you still have to have something irreplaceable.

Zhou Yi knew very well that even though Emerald Soup and Flame Cups are now infinitely popular and are being contested and snapped up by various parties, this is because they are in the bonus period. After this period of time, imitations and competing products may appear by next year at the latest.

At that time, it will be more or less impacted and a part of the market share will be divided.

The key is to keep coming up with new things.

Don't think about resting on your laurels.

In the era in which Zhou Yi lived, there were too many former behemoths that had disappeared from the public eye, or were eliminated because they could not keep up with the new wave. These are all living examples.

The Red Falcon agreed with this: "This kind of proactive thinking is very correct. What is the company's next direction?"

Zhou Yi said: "Strengthen the development of agriculture and Dead Sea mineral development. These are two long-term industries."

"I can understand mining. The light soot and light amber in the Dead Sea are huge in number and have great potential and development value."

The drone said: "But how else can agriculture be developed? The land in the Sand Port area has already limited the scale and types of crops. This is an unchangeable fact."

Zhou Yi smiled: "In 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 large area of land, you can grow crops without soil. If you expand crops into the air in layers like the Emerald City, in theory there is a lot of space that can be used for planting."

"Of course, I also know that the company's current agricultural technology is still very backward. That at least proves that this road is viable and very promising. We must continue to invest in agriculture and develop agriculture in the Sand Port area."

"If people eat well, they will have better physical and mental states. More food production can feed more people, and more people can produce more creativity."

The Red Falcon was suspicious: "Are you sure?"

"I saw it in the Dead Sea Documents. This is guaranteed to be true."

"The investment in this direction will be very large and will require constant trial and error for a long time."

The Red Falcon reminded: "I thought you were going to be self-sufficient. Now it seems that you are going to use this as a test field to try to change the status quo of agriculture under the premise of fixed space and environment."

Zhou Yi stretched: "Although many electromechanical cities are doing agriculture, including the Agricultural Machinery Brothers, electromechanical life always fails to understand the desire of human beings for food. This is a difference determined by physiological structure."

"For you, this is a job, but for us, this is a pursuit of life and enjoyment."

"..."

The Red Falcon's electronic eyes flickered: "I think you are right, just like you cannot understand our fear of annual inspection and insufficient light receiver light seeds."

"No."

Zhou Yi shook his head: "We are the same in this regard. All life is afraid of poverty. So, we still have to make money."

Half a month has passed in winter.

Zhou Yi has not received any news from Haruk.

The fact that this kid has not crossed over for a long time made him a little worried, and he decided to go to the Dark Domain to take a look.

But just as Zhou Yi was about to leave, he suddenly received a message from Emerald City.

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

"We have established a public area."

"We are now talking in the public area. Although it is a bit tense, it is really wonderful. I feel like I am becoming smarter."

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

The connection of United City was successful?

He followed the news from Emerald City all the way to the connection outside the city.

Then Zhou Yi saw that there were two dark houses here, and people came out of them from time to time, and the wind brought out a strong stench.

He recognized one of the young men.

Awei also discovered Zhou Yi. He pulled up his pants and greeted him happily: "Chairman, are you here to take a shit too?"

"..."

Zhou Yi's face twitched.

The public area where you are talking, how did you turn it into a public toilet?
