Agriculture Maniac

Chapter 535 The Ice Bear Visitor, Satellite City
The third ring road outside Shiliying.

The ancient Yellow River stretches northward from Xiaoqing River, bypassing Dongshan Prefecture, passing through Bincheng and Yingcheng, and flowing into the Bohai Bay.

The total length of this section of the river is 330 kilometers.

On the west side of this section of the river, there is a brand-new river channel that runs straight, is about four or five hundred meters wide, and is seventy or eighty meters deep. It is also known as the Yellow River Sub-channel.

It was invested by Shiliying Subdistrict Office, constructed by Taishi Prison, and supervised by Dongfang Development and Reform Commission. A total of more than 3 million people were involved, and more than 500,000 large pieces of equipment were used. The total investment is difficult to estimate.

In 03, the entire Yellow River secondary channel was excavated and completed.

In 04, the Bohai Bay Three-System Seawater Desalination Project was completed.

In 05, the sea diversion irrigation project was launched.

At this point, 118.8 billion cubic meters of desalinated seawater have been poured into the Yellow River's secondary channel, equivalent to more than 30 Pingdong Lakes.

The Yellow River sub-channel has improved the drought and flood resistance of the North China Plain, and together with the plant's meteorological system, it has almost solved the problem of relying on the weather for sustenance.

In 06, the second phase of the Yellow River Sub-channel project was approved.

The Shiliying Subdistrict has decided to deploy 1300 ground effect vehicles with a transport capacity of 200 tons each for travel between Shiliying and the Yellow River Estuary, thereby alleviating the ground transportation pressure between Shiliying and Qinggang, and between Shiliying and Lianyungang.

Simultaneously, the Yellow River secondary road-embankment high-speed railway and embankment heavy-haul transport track will be constructed to increase the total freight volume of Shiliying → Dandong Port → Meihekou, Shiliying → Incheon, and Shiliying → Japanese concession.

January 22nd, the Little New Year in northern China.

In the midst of heavy snowfall, Yu Yang, wearing the ostrich down coat unique to the Three Systems Group, stood on the 50-meter-high embankment of the Yellow River's secondary channel, watching his Three Monster, which he had been developing for nearly four years, disappear into the distance like a super duck, swirling in the wind and snow above the river.

Then, the second, the third, the fourth…

at the same time.

The managers next to them, wearing mechanical exoskeletons and equipped with mobile workstations, projected visual information onto the large mobile outdoor screen in front of them.

This includes river management systems, AI scheduling systems, manual intervention systems, and ground effect vehicle (GEV) flight path systems…

Beside Yu Yang, three bearded men from the Ice Bear Clan stared in shock, disbelief, and disbelief at what was happening before them.

The Caspian Sea Monster has come back to life!
Not only has it been revived, it's also being put into commercial use!

"You guys are amazing!"

These three bearded men include one named Abramovich, an oligarch in the Ice Bear oil industry who monopolizes 65% of Ice Bear's crude oil exports and has a history of deep cooperation with oil tycoons.

One of them was Shamarov, an oligarch in the Ice Bear Heavy Industry, who monopolized 20% of the Ice Bear's crude oil exports, 60% of its machinery manufacturing, and 50% of its beverages and alcohol. He also had deep cooperation with oil tycoons.

One of them, Korinov, currently controls 35% of the agricultural production, 30% of the fisheries and seafood of the Ice Bears, and has 6 members of the Ice Bear Federation.

The three men came here mainly because Western capital brought more advanced equipment and technology to Ice Bear, which will create a large number of more advanced enterprises and produce better products, making the oligarchs feel the crisis.

Just like the most common radio.

The radios made by the oligarchs are no different from bricks.

Western capital invested in Ice Bear, which produced miniature, stylish radios using Western technology. These radios not only received traditional analog signals but also allowed users in Moscow to listen to European FM or AM channels.

Thus, even if Western radios cost thousands of rubles, no one will buy the Soviet-era creations that the oligarchs sell for three or four hundred rubles.

The same principle applies.

The electronic and mechanical equipment manufactured by the oligarchs is power-consuming, fuel-consuming, noisy, and provides a poor user experience.

Western-made products are energy-efficient, fuel-efficient, quiet, and comfortable to use.

If this continues, the oligarchs' businesses will plummet, and after bankruptcy and loss of power, their inevitable end will be death.

Shamarov, the oligarch of the Ice Bear Heavy Industry, began, "Mr. Yu, kind and benevolent, although we have had some business disputes, we have always been very sincere in our cooperation. In particular, with the Amur State Farms, while you are developing the land, you are also supporting the Ice Bear Far East industry, strengthening the Ice Bear Far East economy, improving the living conditions of the Ice Bear Far East residents, and sponsoring the education of poor children in the Ice Bear Far East..."

"Wait, sponsoring impoverished children from Ice Bear to go to school? Is that true?" Yu Yang looked at the factory secretary who was accompanying him.

The latter was very puzzled, "Impossible. Our poor children in the East haven't even solved their education problems yet, where would they get extra funds to sponsor foreign countries?"

Shamarov said seriously, "It was Mr. Yu who provided us with the funds, and we did it for Mr. Yu."

"That's it..."

“Mr. Yu, your kindness is widely known in Ice Bear. We hope that the three industries can settle in Ice Bear and drive out Western capital.”

"It's difficult."

Yu Yang sighed and continued, "If the oil-producing countries join the WTO, their high-end manufacturing industry, built with the help of Sanyuan Agriculture, will be gradually controlled by the influx of Western capital, which will then stab the Sanyuan industry in the back in the high-end market."

"So when the United States joined the WTO, its own food, energy and light industries, built up by Sanyuan Agriculture, were gradually undermined by the influx of Western capital, which then encircled and contained the three industries in these three areas."

“If I help you, Western capital, in order to prevent their own plans from being disrupted, will not let you, the ice bear oligarchs, off the hook.”

"After all, capital is about big fish eating small fish. If federal capital is bound to devour you, then European Judeodomis, in order to protect themselves, will not support you, but will devour you in advance."

Upon hearing this, the two oligarchs' expressions changed slightly.

Ice Bear Oil Industry Oligarch Abramovich hesitated for a moment before asking, "What does Mr. Yu want?"

"He gave me everything I wanted."

The two oligarchs were slightly taken aback, and followed Yu Yang's gaze to look at Korinov.

The latter looked extremely embarrassed.

It's like the three foolish sons of a landlord who, in order to take charge of the household, all of them have connections with bandits to keep their two brothers in check, and the three brothers are aware of these connections with each other.

But now, in order to win over the bandits, you've brought out more stuff than I have?

What should I do if the bandits help you in the future?
In that case, your other two foolish sons will surely form an alliance and join forces to deal with you.

Korinov gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Yu is quite the schemer."

Yu Yang sighed and said frankly, "It's not my fault. With the entry of the Russian Federation into the WTO, the Russian oligarchs will soon be routed under the suppression of Western capital and eventually become a historical term."

By then, Western capital will have grown stronger in Ice Bear, while Sanyuan Agriculture will have numerous conflicts with Western capital, with no room for reconciliation. If Sanyuan Agriculture wants to maintain trade with Ice Bear, it will definitely have to rely on you, since you currently have a very solid foundation in Ice Bear.”

Korinov didn't say much; only a fool would believe Yu Sanyuan.

The two Oligarchs from the Arctic who came to visit, after listening to the story, realized that the Arctic leader's real purpose in bringing the country into the WTO was to eliminate them and other Oligarchs.

"Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Yu!"

After expressing their gratitude, the two bear oligarchs turned angrily and trudged through the half-foot-thick snow towards Hangaisi International Airport. Korinov remained where he was, and said wistfully, "Mr. Yu, given the prevailing trend, we will likely find it difficult to resist the expansion of NATO and the EU in the future."

Yu Yang gazed silently at the distant snow-covered landscape.

Korinov earnestly said, "Mr. Yu, we can exchange more land in the north for support from the Three Systems Technology."

"You're mistaken. NATO and the EU have no direct conflict of interest with the three systems. On the contrary, they cooperate in many ways. If NATO and the EU put pressure on the North American, the three systems will not support either side because you are all my clients. In other words, the only thing the three systems need to do is prevent North America from returning to the Asia-Pacific."

After Yu Yang finished speaking, he smiled slightly at Korinov.

Korinov met those dark eyes and felt as if struck by lightning.

He was wrong.

He consistently positioned the three-element agriculture in opposition to Western capital, but neglected geopolitics.

In other words, although Western capital was outraged by the three-element agriculture policy, due to various factors, the vast majority of capital remained aligned with it. A direct confrontation between the two sides was impossible.

In contrast, consider the oligopolies.

They lack the three-line industrial chain, are not global grain traders, and their international influence is far less than that of the three-line system.

If NATO and the EU put pressure on the oligarchs, they are really willing to fight, and the oligarchs will have no choice but to bite the bullet and fight back.

"Mr. Yu, in addition to the aerospace technologies we've already delivered, we also have over-the-horizon radar..."

"I'm sorry, Sanyuan Heavy Industry has embarked on the path of independent development and has its own scientific development system. We no longer need those outdated technologies. However, I appreciate your sincerity during the cooperation. I will send you a batch of three-system seeds and three-system preludes."

After the conversation ended.

The two sides remained silent for a long time.

Ultimately, Klinov, having failed to secure assistance from the three systems, left dejectedly.

The accompanying factory secretary spoke up: "Boss, what if the Ice Bear Oligarch loses all cooperation with us and, in a moment of impulsiveness, completely aligns with Federal Capital?"

"The survival of the Iraqi oligarchs depends entirely on their control over the Iraqi economy. They cannot leave the Iraqi land. Faced with the invasion of Western capital, the only thing the oligarchs can do now is to intensify the conflict between the Iraqi and the West, and even end the process of the Iraqi joining the WTO."

As Yu Yang spoke, he lit a cigarette in the wind and snow. "Of course, Western capital isn't that stupid. Their first priority isn't to eliminate the Ice Bear oligarchs, but to unite with the four major grain traders and win over the International Meat Federation. They will attack us openly while secretly plundering the Ice Bear's grain and meat markets. Once the Ice Bear has a certain market foundation, they will then proceed with their next plan."

He continued, "What we want, besides resources, is time. For these two goals, we can wait and see and do our own thing."

The factory secretary understood, "Whether Ice Bear cooperates with the West, turns against the West, or what the relationship is between federal capital and European Jewish capital, it has nothing to do with us."

Yu Yang nodded, and was about to say something when Fan Tao called.

"Boss, I'm off."

"Bon Voyage."

Fan Tao is expected to stay in West Asia for five or six years.

Considering that Fan Tao was the only son left in the Fan family, Liu, the deputy director of the Dongshan People's Congress who was in charge of the employment of factory workers and also oversaw the livelihood of factory workers, ultimately used the 'AI Matchmaker' for Fan Tao.

As it turns out, AI's ability to interfere with human society is indeed terrifying when you think about it.

In just one morning, Fan Tao was manipulated by the AI ​​matchmaker, as if being led by the nose.

For example, he was recommended a place to have breakfast. While eating, he met a female executive from the third department who was a perfect match for Fan Tao, but unfortunately, they didn't click.

For example, a store might launch a new product that happens to be Fan Tao's favorite. Then, he might run into a female employee in the store who is a perfect match for him, but unfortunately, they still don't click.

For example, a private company runs into problems and needs Fan Tao's help, and he happens to meet a highly compatible, successful female entrepreneur...

Ultimately, Fan Tao met his love at first sight in a coffee shop.

The other person was also from Fan County, Puyang, and was Fan Tao's elementary school classmate. It seemed that she was also the white moonlight in Fan Tao's heart.

Since the AI ​​matchmaker had already determined the compatibility between the two, their meeting was like dry wood meeting a raging fire, and they got their marriage certificate the very next day.

Upon hearing the news, Yu Yang finally made up his mind to seal away social AI.

Although AI lacks self-awareness and will not harm society, it will gradually change the social structure according to the rules set by its creators.

This 'rule' looks good in the short term, but what about in the long term?
If the prediction is wrong, the entire social structure could collapse.

When Fan Tao went to West Asia, he brought his beloved "white moonlight" with him.

Perhaps when I return next time, my child will be able to attend a preschool program.

Yu Yang put away his newly replaced Obi-Android 3G phone, which he only used for private communication, and took the factory's official train, crossed the Yellow River Bridge, and headed straight for Changqing in Dongshan Prefecture.

Shiliying's level of development has far surpassed that of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen. It has also broken away from Lao Huang's "city blood-sucking theory" and entered the third stage of urban development: giving back to the surrounding areas.

In other words, Shiliying has the highest housing prices in the world. Many employees of private enterprises and outsourced workers in Shiliying can neither afford to buy a house nor want to live in the chaotic outer third ring road area.

So, on a whim, they set up shop in satellite cities such as Jishui, Liaocheng, Puyang, and Kaifeng.

Then, under the guise of "factory labor," they obtained "commuter annual passes" at extremely low prices, and traveled daily between Shiliying and the satellite city by subway and high-speed rail.

As a result, the development of satellite cities has accelerated once again.

The construction of the North Outer Third Ring Road has benefited Changqing District of Dongshan Prefecture.

The current governor of Dongshan Prefecture has no conflict with Lao Dong and does not want to miss the opportunity again. He is focusing on developing Changqing for the future.

Widen National Highway 101 and extend it to Yanggu;

The construction of the Dongshanfu South Second Ring Elevated Road has severed the connection with Changqing.
Construct the Dongshanfu West High-Speed ​​Railway Station and create a dedicated line connecting Dongshanfu, Changqing, and Yanggu.

Expand Changqing University Town and attract more universities.

Various plans are being made to transform Changqing into a satellite city.

Yu Yang wasn't interested in Changqing; he only came here to see what the college students outside the factory thought of the simulated cultivation game.

Half an hour later.

He went to an internet cafe located on the main road of the university town.

School is out for break, and many high-achieving students and young couples who haven't gone home yet are busy typing away on their keyboards.

Looking at the colorful hair all over the hall, Yu Yang suddenly realized that the era of alternative styles had arrived.
