Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 439 From War Reparations to Transfer Payments
Zhou Yi was a little confused.

How does conceptual life attach itself to a shell-like shelter?
"Tell me carefully."

"Mr. Jay, it's like this."

Dong immediately explained: "We don't know how the shelter is built, but its outer shell is also filled with solid cloud tincture."

"The inner cloud needs to constantly absorb the outside world for replenishment, otherwise it will gradually deplete, and then force the sleeping people inside to wake up. The life of the cave people is short, and they are weak, so they will die soon after waking up. There were only 1600 of them before, and that was because the outer cloud was consumed so much that only the core was left."

"Now that the shelter's energy has been replenished, we can fix the mechanical and electrical administrator inside. That administrator is amazing, and possesses a huge life information template, but it is not the kind of life we understand."

"We cannot obtain exchangeable life substances from it, but we can use it, using part of its blank space as a carrier to record and use it for our own benefit."

Zhou Yi asked Xiaofu what was going on.

The Stream Tracer said: "Most of the information of conceptual life is stored in the Great Holy Spirit. In your words, it is cloud storage and backup at any time, which ensures that they will not lose information even if they die."

"The reason why the electromechanical administrator has a blank consciousness is because it has been cut off from the Great Holy Spirit, leaving only a part of its own basic information. Most of its consciousness bodies are blank carriers used to read the Great Holy Spirit's information database."

Zhou Yi understood.

These blank consciousness bodies are equivalent to the administrator's own memory, which is used to temporarily store data and read the cloud services of the Great Holy Spirit. The larger the memory, the faster the reading speed.

He returned his focus to the Shell Shelter.

The electromechanical administrator, shaped like a green code group, was further split by the cave people into surfaces composed of 0 and 1 and integrated into the shelter.

Soon this concept life became visually invisible.

"Mr. Zhou, I have fixed it in the shelter. As long as the cloud tincture is not exhausted, it cannot leave here and enter the outside world."

"Can we use it as a recording site? If possible, it will allow our kind to grow quickly, because a large amount of information can be recorded on it, which can reduce a lot of experience accumulated from scratch." Dong Shi requested.

Zhou Yi thought about it.

Leonardo da Vinci's observation report shows that the division period (reproduction) of the cavemen here is once every 20 minutes, and a single life cycle is usually 1 to 40 minutes.

The group consciousness of the Dong clan can continue because the bodies of the cave people in the shelter can preserve information.

Its capacity is limited. As new generations of cavemen continue to multiply and be born here, a large amount of experience and knowledge is growing wildly, but it cannot be effectively and stably preserved.

If the administrator is used as a carrier of consciousness, you can have an external hard drive of optical core level, like configuring a civilization accelerator for the cave people.

Zhou Yi immediately said, "Okay, then I'll leave it to you as a record location. I spent 300 million light seeds to lock the administrator, so make good use of it."

"Don't worry, Mr. Jay! We will definitely take good care of it and make full use of its value!"

Dong's tone was firm.

……

After dealing with the mechanical and electrical administrator, Zhou Yi felt a little relieved.

Finally, the unstable factor was resolved.

Otherwise, if this administrator keeps instigating the issue every day, how can the mechanical and electrical employees here work with peace of mind?

Next comes the compensation list.

Zhou Yi's thoughts remain unchanged.

It is better to first mortgage the patent compensation of 310 million yuan with property.

The person who knew the most about mechanical and electrical cities was Guan Zhong.

Zhou Yi sought its advice.

Guan Zhong said: "I have recently carefully learned about the details of the company."

"I think that the current focus should be on improving agriculture and medical care, which are the two cornerstones for the company to maintain stability. Only by strengthening food and medical security can we reduce hidden dangers during the period of rapid development."

Zhou Yi joked, "I thought you wanted me to do agriculture and military industry as well."

The panda man said: "The Legal Front needs to vigorously develop agriculture and the military, but this side does not need to. According to the company structure and the current development model, the main profit sources are commercial trade and technological innovation, while agriculture and medical care are the guarantee basis."

“The current trade and technology development has been a huge investment of resources for several years.”

"This compensation should be used first to purchase agricultural and medical equipment."

"The high-precision equipment produced by the electromechanical city cannot be manufactured by human cities. I think we can purchase it. We need to inquire about the actual needs of these two departments."

Zhou Yi thought this was a good idea.

He immediately summoned Zheng Tao and Da Vinci.

Zheng Tao was overjoyed to learn that there was money to be reimbursed. He quickly opened the memo of the enhanced controller and said, "Chairman, we do have a great demand here."

"First, our irrigation system needs to be completed. We need to cover nearly 8 mu of land with drip irrigation and sprinkler irrigation for precision irrigation."

"This can improve the utilization rate of water resources and ensure the moisture required for crop growth. I have calculated this part. If we use the cheapest E-1 grade to cover our farmland, we will need at least 1 light seeds."

“There must also be at least two dryers to dry the crops after harvest to ensure the storage quality of the crops, reduce losses and prevent mildew.”

Zheng Tao said seriously, "Although Emerald City also has this function, the temperature is too difficult to control and the loss is large. Now we are doing large-scale planting, this equipment is a necessity. The D-1 level dryer has a unit price of 2140 light seeds, plus a repair kit and a one-year warranty, a total of 4300 light seeds."

"Then there are the greenhouse supporting equipment, including temperature control systems, lighting systems, indoor irrigation systems, etc. They can provide a stable growth environment and extend the crop growth cycle, which is also of great significance for us to develop new species. This set is based on the C-1 level with a high cost-effectiveness. Each complete set requires 10000 light seeds, and two sets require 2 light seeds."

"Another indispensable device is a soil analyzer. Although our agricultural machinery brothers are also equipped with this equipment, its accuracy is insufficient, and a slight error can lead to a big difference."

"We need a higher-precision soil analyzer to analyze soil composition, provide fertilizer recommendations, and accurately apply fertilizer to improve crop yield and quality. It must be at least D-2 level. One unit can produce 2000 light seeds. Two units should be used alternately to avoid damage and malfunction, for a total of 4000 light seeds."

"If there is still budget, we also need plant protection drones. This type of device can be used for spraying pesticides, applying fertilizers, monitoring crop growth, etc. It is very important to improve plant protection efficiency and reduce the use of pesticides. One D-1-class drone has 1 light seeds. We need three of them, plus the matching repair kits and operating program updates, which is equivalent to 1200 light seeds."

He concluded: "A total of 4 light seeds are enough!"

Zhou Yi nodded: "Okay, send me the list and I'll place the order." "Okay! I'll send it to you right away."

Zheng Tao smiled happily and started to work quickly.

Zhou Yi looked at Da Vinci next to him again: "What about the hospital?"

"Chairman, our demands are as follows."

The electromechanical doctor began to place orders.

"Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is essential for the diagnosis of the nervous system, musculoskeletal system and tumors. We need to purchase a B-1 grade to improve the accuracy of diagnosis. The price of one unit is 1 light seeds."

"Computed tomography (CT), suitable for diagnostic imaging in emergency and complex cases. Class B-1, 1 unit, 2 light species."

"Positron emission tomography (PET) provides functional and metabolic information, supplementing the anatomical information of CT and MRI. One B-1-class unit, 1 light species."

"Linear Accelerator (LINAC), used for radiation therapy, especially cancer treatment. It can precisely irradiate tumors and reduce damage to surrounding healthy tissue. One B-1 class, 1 light seeds."

"Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) equipment is used to support the lives of patients with cardiopulmonary failure, providing oxygenation and circulatory support when the heart and lungs are not functioning properly. Five B-1 units, unit price 5 light seeds/unit, a total of 3000 light seeds."

It paused: "In addition, it is necessary to build an intensive care unit (ICU) ward. Therefore, it must be equipped with ventilators, infusion pumps and syringe pumps, defibrillators, hemodialysis machines, blood gas analyzers, etc."

"To build a medium-sized ICU with 10 beds, 6 light seeds are needed."

"There are also a number of important medicines that must be imported from abroad, including antibiotics, medical alcohol, glucose, immunoglobulin... a total of 1 kinds of light."

"A total of 21 light seeds are needed."

Zhou Yi waved his hand and said, "Buy!"

He also decided to increase the salaries of all medical and agricultural workers by 20%.

These two departments work very hard. As they are non-profit departments, their output is difficult to quantify directly, but they provide the most important rear-end support for the company.

However, this expenditure is still less than expected, with 289 million left to be spent on mechanical and electrical city projects.

How to spend money has become the most important thing at the moment.

Recursive City Data Center gave a suggestion.

"Chairman, there is a type of large-scale service transaction called "targeted debt."

“To put it simply, it means buying bonds issued by the mechanical and electrical city, which are secured by the local tax revenue capacity.”

"The special thing about targeted bonds is that they are circulated between mechanical and electrical cities and their core partner cities. You can purchase bonds issued by a certain city in a targeted manner to invest in that city. Generally speaking, the risk is lower."

"As a partner of the Mechanical and Electrical City, the United City has also issued targeted bonds because of its A-level rating. We can purchase the targeted bonds there, which will become a debt between us and the United City. We can invest in improving the highway construction there and also obtain stable income from the United City."

Zhou Yi was a little surprised. He knew that United City had received investment from Mechanical and Electrical City, but he didn't expect it to be in the form of bonds.

"Purpose-built bonds are divided into short-term (1-3 years), medium-term (4-10 years) and long-term (more than 10 years), with returns ranging from 1% to 10%. According to our verification, the bonds issued by Union City are long-term bonds, with a return of 4.1%, calculated on a simple interest basis. Whether from the perspective of urban development or the degree of debt itself, it is a very good choice."

this is not bad.

Zhou Yi immediately made the decision: "The remaining 289 million will be used to purchase United City's private bonds and invest in United City."

There’s no telling when the fight with the legal front will break out again, so let’s use up all the compensation first.

The Kestrel began a series of procedural operations.

A few minutes later.

"Zhou, the purchase is complete."

"We have purchased 10 million shares of the 289-year targeted bonds of the United City, and the expected yield upon maturity is 408.9 million shares."

Kestrel projected the bond agreement and the certificate of indebtedness.

The two parties to the contract are the Wasteland Development Company and the United City, and the payment will be made through a third-party exclusive account.

The agreement has been signed.

The United City contacted us immediately.

"Mr. Zhou, did you buy our 289 million private placement bonds?"

Kunming Station was somewhat surprised and confused.

"Because the Legal Front was very slow to pay the patent cash, I chose this method to redeem it."

Zhou Yi talked about war reparations.

"……So this is ah."

The Kunming station added: "For such a large amount of money, we have to pay 12 yuan per year just to pay the interest, which is actually a bit difficult."

"Can we turn this private bond into a 29% stake in United City? Every year, the city's profits will be distributed as dividends in proportion. This way, we don't have to worry about the interest."

Zhou Yi said readily: "Alright. Let's do it this way."

He is optimistic about the future of Union City.

This is the first alien city, which completely uses architectural life as the city's foundation and operator, which is even more thorough than the Emerald City.

"Great! Thank you for your trust!"

The two parties hit it off and quickly completed the entire procedure.

At this point, this indemnity that was difficult to cash out was transformed into a transfer payment to United City through the form of targeted bonds.
