Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 246 I Want to Improve

A few days later, the second phase of the Wuhu viaduct project was officially completed.

Emerald City, Jitou Town and Shagang City were officially connected by the transportation network.

On the day the road was opened to traffic, Zhou Yi and Sha Haigong went over to meet and check out the road conditions.

The bridge has four lanes in both directions and there is plenty of space.

There are very few cars in the entire Shagang. They spin on four wheels under the power of the viaduct, transporting travelers and goods from three places.

Lord Sha Hai was overjoyed. "Mr. Zhou, the land transportation cost in this area has been greatly reduced. Locally produced fresh food such as chicken, green onions, beans, cattails, etc. can be circulated quickly, and the internal price can be stabilized at a lower range."

"The population of the Sand Harbor area has now exceeded 5, and a large amount of food needs to be digested internally. Now I am increasing the planting area of cattails and shallots and expanding the scale of chicken farming to keep up with the increasing demand for food."

It pointed to the vehicles going on the bridge and said: "The number of employees in your company is also increasing. Now there are more than 3000 people, and they all have high incomes. I have bars, restaurants and baths over there, which are all popular projects for middle- and high-income people. They can just meet their needs. With the bridge and cheap vehicles, it will be more convenient for them to go back and forth."

Zhou Yi smiled and said, "Old Sha, the Shagang area is developing, and you have to increase your income as well."

Lord Shahai suddenly had a bitter face: "It's not that I don't want to. I have been trying every way to make this place prosperous since I started building this city. Unfortunately, my own ability is limited, and it is still very difficult now... There are too few industries in Shagang City."

"I do have an idea."

Zhou Yi asked it: "Have you ever considered take-out service?"

"takeout?"

Lord Shahai looked puzzled: "What is that?"

Zhou Yi explained to him: "Takeout is more common for food and necessities."

"For example, if someone wants to eat roast chicken and stewed mushrooms today, they will be quickly prepared in Shagang City and delivered to the unit building in Emerald City or to the window station at the Dam. Most of our employees here are very generous when it comes to spending money on food, but only Shagang City has specialized restaurants, and roadside stalls have limited appeal to them."

"Or, if the company's employees need paper and charcoal pencils, they are now used to drawing and designing, and Sand Harbor City can deliver them on the same day."

Zhou Yi added: "As long as we leave someone here and let the customers who need it register here, then the whistle bird will take the order back and deliver the goods from Shagang City on the same day. The distance between the two places is 50 kilometers, which means it only takes a little over an hour to get there."

Lord Sha Hai immediately followed his train of thought: "I have to set up a special takeaway reservation point in Emerald City, and then assign a few vehicles to do this."

It immediately started discussing with Zhou Yi in high spirits.

As the number of employees of the Wasteland Development Company increases - mainly thousands of soot workers, the consumer demand generated is enough to feed many people.

Zhou Yi’s idea is very simple: stimulate demand and provide convenience to buyers as much as possible to make it easier and more willing for them to consume.

Take-out is an attempt.

Without leaving home, you can enjoy the delicious food prepared by Shagang City restaurants. After making a reservation, the daily necessities you want will be delivered to your door.

Once you get used to this convenience, it will be hard to refuse it.

Now with the construction of the viaduct, the transportation cost between the two places has never been lower.

The company's employees have no worries and are more generous with their money.

"Mr. Zhou, I understand."

Suddenly, a gleam of light flashed in Sha Haigong's eyes: "What you did is a variation of express delivery."

"You could say the same thing."

Zhou Yi nodded.

The sea lords do have something and they understand things very quickly.

"I'll go back and immediately organize a takeout group."

Lord Sha Hai immediately said goodbye and hurried back in the reinforced vehicle.

……

Wuhu Viaduct is in a stable mood.

It is also quite satisfied with itself: "You have fulfilled your promise and allowed me to perform my transportation function. This is what I should do, and it is the right thing to do."

Zhou Yi said, "Please take care of the transportation. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

"Wait a moment."

The viaduct suddenly said, "I have learned a lot in the public area recently. Although I have not been able to talk to them, just listening to the conversations between Emerald City, Yalong Bay and Maria Hospital has surprised me... In the past, my understanding of the world was a bit too narrow."

“Many functions are interconnected, and the way the world works is diverse and interconnected.”

"I apologize for my arrogance and stubbornness in the past. Please help me say that to them."

It turned out that he was asked to help ease the atmosphere.

Zhou Yi said it was no problem.

What he was more curious about was why the viaduct had undergone such changes.

"Because vehicles started running on the bridge."

Gaoqiao was frank: "In the past, my consciousness was a straight line that did not allow for any bends, but I was not aware of this."

"Until the vehicles started running on my bridge again, they reactivated me. Maybe this is what I should be like. In the past, I fell into a strange solidified state because I had been out of duty for too long. I resisted change and could not accept new things... I could only express my resistance by self-destruction." "More and more cars drove by, making me active and sensitive again. I realized that my previous state was very stupid."

It turned out to be the case.

Zhou Yi praised: "Change is a good thing."

"One more thing, Chairman."

Viaduct continued, "If possible, I also hope to have a partner, because I see that Emerald City and Maria Hospital have both experienced very obvious rapid growth and accumulation. I am eager to make progress, so if there is an opportunity, please consider me too!"

"As long as it helps improve my transportation ability, I can accept anything else. I have confidence in my endurance!"

"It's okay for me to self-destruct!"

At first Zhou Yi felt like he had a different personality, but in the last sentence he returned to his original tone.

Zhou Yi said: "If there is a suitable one, I will find you."

"Thank you, Chairman!"

This is the first time that Gaoqiao calls himself the chairman.

It seems that there have indeed been significant changes.

……

After finishing the job here, Zhou Yi rode the Ridgecrest all the way to Maria Hospital.

On a patch of grass outside, Yuan Tong and Gong were chatting.

Zhou Yi was surprised: "Are you guys done with the surgery?"

The two men smiled at each other.

Yuan Tong's left eye was replaced with a metallic artificial eye, which was fixed with a black strap.

"How does the prosthetic eye feel?"

"Chairman, this is the E-3-level "visual recording" prosthetic eye that Dr. Da Vinci helped me choose."

He poked his left eye with his finger and grinned, "This eye's vision has reached the limit of ordinary humans. Too strong visual ability will cause physiological burden, which is just right for me now."

“Its ‘video recording’ can directly start the recording mode, storing and projecting the images you see. It can also be connected to the enhanced controller to store the images in the controller.”

Yuan Tong became a man with his own camera.

Zhou Yi was puzzled: "Why not choose E-5 level?"

"Too high precision will also cause a huge physiological burden."

Yuan Tong explained: "When I first tested it, I tried the E-4 level vision, and I felt dizzy. Because the amount of information was too much, I felt very tired. E-3 is just right."

Zhou Yi asked again: "How about charging and battery life?"

“As long as you don’t use video recording, the energy consumption is actually very low.”

Yuan Tong said: "One charge can last for one month, and consumes about one energy pack, but since the company reimburses, this is no problem."

"That's good."

Zhou Yi looked at the other surgeon again.

Gong Zheng had a lightweight metal skeleton fixed to his right leg, but he still used a cane.

"And you."

Gong Zheng smiled and said, "Chairman, after Dr. Da Vinci examined me, he customized a semi-automatic prosthesis for my right leg."

"It's an E-3, with 'body control'. It has good balance and agility, and walking, running and jumping are very easy. This cane is a gift from you. I'm used to it. It makes me feel more confident when I hold it in my hand."

Zhou Yi felt relieved when he saw that the two old employees had repaired their existing physical defects and restored their normal physiological functions.

Finally, I helped them solve some of their personal problems.

At this moment, a red kestrel suddenly flew over.

"According to the schedule, you should be ready to fly to Recursion City."

"Then let's go back first."

Return to the Emerald City.

Hong Jian said, "Zhou, can't we just hire them online? Why do we have to go through all the trouble of going to the local area?"

Zhou Yi smiled slightly: "If you don't go there, you won't be able to understand the current situation of Recursion City. I have long wanted to visit this earliest cooperative city."

"This is not only an opportunity to recruit employees, but also an opportunity to promote the company. If feasible, we can also establish a long-term mechanical and electrical talent delivery mechanism with the local area."

After receiving the order, the Emerald City rose from the ground and rushed into the clouds.
