Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 257 Core Industries
The trip to the Dead Sea in spring was smooth and Zhou Yi did not encounter any setbacks along the way.

Of course, it could also be survivor bias.

After all, in the eyes of other creatures, the combination of Yalong Bay + Olympic Sports Center is a natural disaster.

On the way back, Zhou Yi was actively communicating with the Olympic Sports Center.

The latter is cheerful and active and is also happy to talk.

"I have two abilities."

"The first is 'competition'. No matter what form of competition or confrontation, once it enters my body, the intensity will continue to increase. The winner will be able to break through his or her current limit and will also receive a portion of energy and consciousness as a reward. The higher the intensity, the higher the reward."

"The second is 'gathering people'. I can gather a lot of people together and let them continue to pay attention to the competition. The more people enter my body to watch the competition, the more help it will be to my evolution and improvement."

The two abilities complement each other.

It’s just that in the past Heaven needed it to create advanced mutants, so it was kept secret.

Once in United City, the Olympic Sports Center will be used for civilian activities rather than military purposes, and these two capabilities can truly demonstrate their power.

Hearing that architectural life can fly, it was greatly surprised: "Is it really possible?"

"of course."

Zhou Yi let Emerald City demonstrate its takeoff and hovering, which made the Olympic Sports Center very envious.

"I want to try flying, too."

Zhou Yi said: "There may be a chance in the future. This technology is still in the development stage."

"I hope you can quickly perfect this ability and equip it for me when the time comes."

The Olympic Sports Center is full of expectations: "I have been trapped on Dongji Island in the past. If I can fly, I can really see the world."

"Will do."

……

Half a month later, Yalong Bay arrived at United City again.

The Emerald City leads the way, and the lotus-shaped Olympic Sports Center follows behind.

The locals along the way looked at the strange alien thing curiously. The Olympic Sports Center was completely different from any local building and was particularly eye-catching.

Zhou Yi observed that United City has changed a lot now.

The docks were crowded with transport ships flying flags representing different factions. A large number of goods were constantly sent in from the outside world, packed and sent away at the docks. There were wood, ironware, imitation goods, canned oil and various daily necessities.

In the farmland, a large number of small red tomatoes are already hanging on the branches, and the number of growers is much higher than before.

The city streets have been renovated and look brand new.

There are sewers and drainage ditches here, and newly built brick and stone houses are neatly arranged. Streets divide the city into different areas, some areas are markets with stalls, some areas are concentrated residential areas, and some areas are public areas with gardens and stone paths for walking.

The number of residents living here has increased significantly. In addition to the majority of new humans, there are also many skeletons. They are basically merchants and craftsmen, and are obviously immigrants from other places.

In addition, Zhou Yi also saw the mountain dog clan to which Tengu belonged, and many dog-headed men were active here.

They are mainly engaged in construction projects here, wearing wooden helmets to pave roads and build houses, and they are very efficient when working. The mountain dogs bark in dog language, and the sounds come one after another.

With the support of cash power, the entire United City is now full of vitality.

Zhou Yi led the Olympic Sports Center all the way to the side of Happy Valley, which had already been vacated and reserved for it.

With the huge sports complex firmly on the ground, the spring protocol is complete.

Zhou Yi saw that the company’s account immediately showed +70000.

Final payment received.

"Thank you very much, it's a pleasure to work with you."

Kunming Station said: "Next, we will gradually connect with the Olympic Sports Center. Its addition will bring more possibilities to the city, and can also better enhance the city's reputation and deter those with bad intentions."

In order to shift the blame and keep it secret, Heavenly Kingdom portrayed the Olympic Sports Center as a terrifying alien that could destroy an entire region on its own.

At this time, your name is well-known without any publicity.

Zhou Yi raised a question of his own: "What is the pillar industry of Lianhe City? Is the income and expenditure balanced now?"

As an emerging A-class city, United City can obtain a large amount of loans from the Mechanical and Electrical City. But the money will eventually be used up, and if there is no self-sustaining blood-making ability, the follow-up will be extremely difficult.

"Union City has a complete infrastructure, which was completed with loans. However, our income far exceeds our expenditure, and the current economic situation is very healthy."

Kunming Station explained: "The core industries of Union City are satellites and prisons."

"We have gradually started providing satellite services to some cities. We charge an annual fee and provide three special services, including meteorological satellites, land satellites and resource satellites. The price is not low."

"In the past, Xinghub monopolized the satellite group and blocked satellites very strictly. Even if there were independent satellites, they could not effectively and safely connect with the city. Because I am a satellite station, I make up for this key connection point. In the future, more satellites will join United City."

Kunming Station does not discuss the conflict between United City and Xingshu.

Zhou Yi didn't ask.

The company is now enjoying expensive satellite services from the outside world for free, which can be regarded as a reward for its initial optimism and help to United City.

"Then there is the prison." "Meizhou Prison charges a fee for its services to the public."

The Kunming station preached: "The services we provide include arrest and detention."

"It is difficult to capture and the cost is high. However, there are some special criminals - to put it simply, they are B-level life forms that use Meizhou Prison to train their own strength. They are willing to capture criminals in order to get an extension of their prison combat training."

"The Meizhou Prison is responsible for the detention. In terms of grade, it is A-grade. Even if it is Skywalker, as long as he is imprisoned in the prison, it can restrain and lock him stably."

Zhou Yi's heart trembled.

The prison is more intense than expected.

"When outsiders entrust us to take in criminals, they need to pay the corresponding detention expenses. Many Class B lives that cannot be restrained in many cities are now gradually transferred to us. Of course, managing these high-intensity criminals also requires them to pay the corresponding high costs."

The Kunming station said: "Meizhou Prison now holds a total of 400 criminals, of which 52 are Class B criminals. The prison's maximum capacity is 4000 people, so we still have a lot of space for them."

"Furthermore, the stronger the criminals imprisoned, the higher the improvement of Meizhou Prison. It can grow and expand, and it is also a core pillar industry of Lianhe City."

"The Olympic Sports Center is highly applicable. It will provide another training ground for upgrading light seed and enhancers. It will be open to the public for a fee and will also bring a steady stream of income to the city."

"These are the unique advantages of our United City. We will make full use of our own characteristics, develop them as deeply as possible, concentrate our strength and resources, and enhance our leading position in related fields."

……

On the way home, Zhou Yi kept thinking about what the satellite station said.

Compared with the clearly planned United City, the positioning of my company's industry is somewhat vague.

It’s my first time starting a company, so I have to figure everything out.

We must concentrate our efforts on developing our core strengths.

This idea is correct.

Zhou Yi opened his diary and looked at the various notes he had written therein, while quickly reviewing the company's development history in his mind.

Cultivating new humans is a long-term project. Through continuous training and learning, new humans will fill the positions required by various departments in the future and gradually demonstrate their creativity and profit-seeking ability.

But the company’s current core competitiveness is building life, mushroom forest and express delivery.

We must increase investment in these three.

……

It was already the third month of spring when they returned to the Emerald City.

Zhou Yi saw that the green area near the residential area has increased significantly, with flowers and plants almost everywhere. When he came here two years ago, it was all sand with only sporadic thorny grass.

Gong Zheng, the assistant who came to greet him, said with a smile: "Chairman, this is also the result of the efforts of all parties."

"First, people become richer and destroy less trees and grass, and no longer use large amounts of branches and grass as fuel. So more vegetation can be preserved and continued."

"Then there is Minister Zheng from the Ministry of Agriculture. He strongly advocates reducing the destruction of natural plants because some useful species and seeds may be found from them. Minister Zheng took the lead in planting a lot of flower and grass seeds around Emerald City to improve the environment and let everyone live in a more vibrant and colorful place. Cao Dayuan is also cooperating in promoting this matter, and the employees are now paying attention to this."

"Then there is the Guangxu Dam. Yuan Tong has also repeatedly issued orders prohibiting the destruction of flowers, plants and mushrooms planted around the dam. Violators will be severely punished."

"These plants can absorb harmful haze particles, protecting everyone from collecting soot in a safer and healthier way. This also plays an important role because most of the employees are soot workers, and no one wants to make things difficult for themselves."

"Cao Dayuan also talked to me about this matter."

Gong Zheng recalled: "He said that the staff and residents nowadays are not like before. In the past, they would argue over a pile of shit, but now everyone is more polite and has become more particular."

"Many people are now raising flowers and plants, raising gerbils, and now raising birds. The two most popular things in the company right now are takeout and raising things."

Zhou Yi became interested: "Mr. Sha Hai started a takeout business?"

"Yes, Chairman."

Gong Zheng pointed to a large wooden building not far from the dam and said, "Mr. Shahai has built a shop outside the Emerald City, specializing in takeout from Shagang City and Jitou Town."

"We mainly sell restaurant food and daily consumables. People now like to order takeout. Although there will be a little more delivery fee, people still like it and feel comfortable without having to run around."

"The takeaway group can also earn the shipping fee, and the restaurant can make a profit, so all three parties get what they need."

Zhou Yi nodded.

Next, as long as the Wuhu viaduct is further extended and Qingcong Town and Lvzhou Town are also brought into this expressway, the transaction efficiency of the entire Shagang area will be further improved.

As the population continues to flow in, more job opportunities are also emerging.

"Chairman, there is one more thing."

Gong Zheng said: "There are two job seekers who want to join the company. But they both want to meet you and have a face-to-face interview with you. They arrived half a month ago and are still waiting for your news."

“They all have different abilities.”

"One of them is a light-nano species, who claims to be good at planting and cultivation and is a gardener. The other is an electromechanical lifeform, who claims to be a programmer. They both said they have something to show you."

programmer?
Finally, there are senior talents coming to join us.

Zhou Yi was no longer sleepy: "Let them come over."
