Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 449: A Country Disguised as a Corporation
The garment factory’s God-given new clothes service was launched, and the sea lords from the Development Alliance were the first to come and order their clothes.

Zhou Yi could also understand the other purchases as a convenience for negotiating business with the outside world, which was equivalent to a business card that came with both attention flow and a lie detector.

But the two mechanical and electrical sea lords, Lord Beidu and Lord Steelmaker, also came to make reservations, which made Zhou Yi a little confused.

Logically speaking, they don't need to do this at all.

Bei Dugong explained: "Mr. Zhou, wearing the new clothes given by God every day can make the people pay more attention to us. In fact, most residents know very little about the territorial sea owner. Only with attention can there be cohesion."

Fullmetal Alchemist also said: "There will always be residents in the territory who have opinions about us, but there are also residents who support us, and those who neither support nor oppose us. God's New Clothes can help stabilize the latter two groups."

Zhou Yi sighed: "You guys have figured out how to use this new dress given by God."

The steel smelting truck is a mobile crushing station, which is also a mining truck and is directly covered with a car cover.

Beidugong was a ship, but it was too big, so Xiao Chu could only make a flag for it.

At the same time, Pikachu and his group's eight-day vacation came to an end.

After reporting to Zhou Yi, they rushed to Mars again under the leadership of Curling to carry out the next round of light seed mine development.

……

This year's summer was exceptionally long. It was already autumn at this time last year. But the sun showed no sign of slowing down. Instead, the temperature reached a peak of 40 degrees. The weather was dry and sunny, and the situation of very little rainfall remained unchanged.

Most of the company's employees work indoors, which increases the consumption of cooling coal and requires the purchase of more iced drinks.

Previously, the Ministry of Agriculture was the most affected by the high temperature and drought, and they had to work outdoors. However, after installing new irrigation equipment and building indoor planting facilities, the workload of farmers has been reduced a lot, and the working hours in the morning and evening have been shortened.

There is constant bad news from the outside world.

Fever and infectious diseases are raging in Glass Castle, with the death toll reaching 200 this summer.

The rampant insect pests in cotton and linen fields caused a large amount of cotton to be damaged and the self-produced grain to be drastically reduced. The grain price in the entire region soared fivefold.

The most outrageous case was Fanyun City, where the entire city was sold at a low price by its sea lord for cash, and then Lord Fanyun himself resigned and ran away.

Zhou Yi was shocked when he heard this: "There is such a thing?"

“Although not many, it is there.”

Hongshun said, "Fanyun City is a small city. In the past two years, the permanent population has shrunk from 3.7 to 3.5, and 2000 people have left. Considering that most of those who have the courage to leave are young and middle-aged people, this ratio is already very alarming."

"It's a hilly area, and the pillar industry is stone export, which is mainly used in construction. Due to the large-scale promotion and deployment of mushroom houses, Fanyun City has been directly impacted, and the stone industry, which was already in a continuous decline, has further fallen rapidly."

"The local area lacks a good direction for transformation, and several attempts to change have failed. The city's debt is increasing. It is also a common practice for the sea owners to cash out and leave."

"This summer, the drought was severe, there was a lack of water and food, and a large number of people continued to flee, which further accelerated the process."

The person who took over was a little-known enhancer named He Qiang.

He brought a group of people to take over Fanyun City.

The drone said: "Based on past experience, this He Qiang was most likely the leader of a looting group and completed the original capital accumulation through looting. This group of people will transform and clean up their wealth through various means. However, there are still very few people who are willing to buy a city as big as this and run it personally."

“But now is a good time to buy into the city at a low price.”

Zhou Yi remembered the name He Qiang in his heart.

The continued high temperature and drought does not affect the further extension of the Wuhu viaduct.

It completes the cross-sea connection with the Tree Monster Territory.

At this point, the only area of the Development Alliance that has not yet been included in the cross-sea bridge system is the farthest northern Shuanghe area.

The viaduct said: "Chairman, the straight line over there is too far from my main body, and I need to find multiple space holes as transfers. I have to ask Nige to build space trees along the way to ensure that this long-distance cross-sea bridge can be stable and strong for a long time."

“It is currently estimated that it will take 90 days to complete.”

Zhou Yi asked it to proceed step by step and not to rush.

"I have another idea."

"From Emerald City to Shell City, the total distance is 340 kilometers, and it takes more than four hours even if the highest speed lane is 80 kilometers per hour," said the viaduct.

"Even if you sit in the car, you have to endure such a long time, and the passengers will feel tired. They are prone to negative emotions, which also has a certain impact on my collection of consciousness fragments."

"So I plan to increase the speed further and add a 110 km/h express lane. The bridge must be upgraded to Class A to stabilize this speed supply. So it will take several months to complete the strengthening of these cross-sea bridges."

What Zhou Yi was more concerned about was: "Will the load be too heavy?"

"It mainly takes time to gradually strengthen and transform it. Energy is OK, we can get it from the Dead Sea."

The high bridge said: "Chairman, I want to build some service stations along the cross-sea bridge, arranged on the space trees along the way, so that vehicles can stop and rest temporarily. Passengers on the bus can get off to defecate, replenish supplies, eat, repair vehicles, refuel floating hearts, charge electric cats, etc."

"If a service station is built on every cross-regional bridge section, long distances can be split into short ones, reducing passengers' fatigue and improving the riding experience."

"They can have a good experience traveling on the bridge, feel fun and get positive feedback, which is also very important for my further improvement."

"Is this okay?"

Zhou Yi was a little surprised: "Did you come up with this by yourself?"

"It was Guan Zhong's idea."

The Viaduct said: "It believes that as the viaduct is rolled out, the use of the cross-sea bridge will increase and the traffic volume will continue to increase."

"So it is proposed to build service stations as early as possible, which can divert cars and help promote consumption on the road, improve the travel experience, and attract people from all over the world to actively travel."

Zhou Yi called Guan Zhong.

The panda man who was partnered with the viaduct said, "Yes, Chairman."

"The service station has a good idea. We'll do as you say."

"Thank you for the compliment. This is actually imitating the model of the old humans. During the Age of Gods, there was a very dense road network, and the highways and bridges at that time had such designs. I just borrowed the wisdom of my predecessors."

Guan Zhong said: "After I participated in the actual work recently, I finally found out why my previous judgment of you was so wrong." "Tell me about it."

"When I was Shang Yang, both I and the law believed that the Wasteland Company was a local armed group that brought together aliens, mechatronic life, humans, and light nanos."

“We also believe that you are a sea lord who has taken a different approach, focusing on areas such as economic development and people’s livelihood research and development that are rarely competed for.”

Guan Zhong said: "This is where the problem lies."

"Labor is wealth. This is the consensus of all sea lords. Therefore, only those who are able to work are valuable."

"However, your purpose is completely different. From the various actions of the company, it can be seen that you believe that people themselves are wealth. Therefore, maintaining a larger population and allowing more people to survive and live a high-quality life is the goal pursued by the company."

Zhou Yi was a little surprised.

I haven't thought about these programs and theories carefully.

No wonder Guan Zhong was able to come up with legal procedures.

It is very sharp and insightful.

Zhou Yi continued to listen.

"This error caused a huge fallacy in the results and a fundamental error in direction."

"The current calculation mechanism of electromechanical cities cannot understand this level. After all, it still focuses on labor efficiency and labor output. By working backwards from the data, we can only draw this conclusion."

"So, whether in the Universal Protocol stage or the Legal Front period, the Data Center does not believe that Energy Storage City and Clockwork City will be destroyed. Because there is no logical reason to connect them, it is because the source model is wrong."

Guan Zhong said in a deep voice: "In my opinion."

“The electromechanical city—whether it is a universal agreement or a legal system, is essentially a factory disguised as a state.”

"Because the program operation of the electromechanical city is a factory-style and industrialized process. Electromechanical life adheres to the procedures. No matter how the process is adjusted, it is difficult to jump out of the existing main framework."

"The core rule of this type of city is to accumulate a lot of wealth for the whole electromechanical city by constantly adjusting and improving production efficiency."

"This leads to rich cities and poor residents. No matter how large and advanced a factory is, it is difficult to guarantee the interests of every worker, because a factory is only a factory after all, and it is only responsible for the processed products it produces."

"We, the Wasteland Development Company, are a country disguised as a company."

"The company has gained a lot of wealth through innovative research and development and commercial trade. But this wealth will be used for the company's infrastructure, whether it is agriculture, medical care, housing or education, to protect the most immediate interests of employees."

“Factories are only responsible for the processed products they produce, but the state needs to consider the survival needs of the vast majority of its citizens.”

"These are two completely different paths. Data analysis alone cannot provide insight into the essence of the problem."

Guan Zhong said: "In the confrontation with the company, if the legal front cannot quickly gain the upper hand, it will become increasingly difficult to compete."

"The reason is simple. The reform of the electromechanical city cannot be thorough by itself. It cannot transform itself into something else. No matter how it imitates the outside world and learns the company's model, if the core cannot be changed, it is still essentially a factory model."

"Workers will become increasingly exhausted from long-term labor and intense competition, while citizens will get better and better conditions as the country grows stronger - even if the improvement is not much. As one gains while the other loses, the gap between the two will eventually become larger and larger."

“The current legal doctrine is imitating and catching up with companies, which is both a bad thing and a good thing.”

"The bad thing is that the production capacity of the Legal Front is unquestionable. They will produce a large number of high-quality power equipment and facilities and occupy an important position in the market. Learning from the company will also allow them to keep up quickly and not lag behind the current technological trends and trends, which will put a certain amount of pressure and impact on us."

"The good thing is that after calculation, the Legal Front believes that learning the floating heart and electric cat system is the best solution. As long as they are in a state of following and imitating, they have already lost the right to speak in technology - this is also the biggest advantage of the electromechanical city."

"As long as this situation continues, the company's advantage will grow. The only way to reverse the situation is war, but it has been proven to be a failure not long ago, and the Clockwork City was destroyed."

"According to the data center, the chances of a mechanical and electrical city starting a full-scale war are less than 51%. They use data as the core judgment, and will not start a war unless they have a % chance of winning. As time goes by, the chances of winning will only drop further, and internal pressure and public security instability will also increase."

"In summary, we just need to continue to take steady steps, and the legal front has fallen into a vicious circle that it cannot escape. As soon as we enter the next historical cycle, the legal front will fall into a natural decline and collapse."

After hearing this analysis, Zhou Yi suddenly became enlightened.

After all, they are professionals who run the mechanical and electrical city.

Zhou Yi was also a little surprised.

The core of the legal front is Yin Guang Shu. However, after being impacted by new energy and new materials, they quickly followed suit and drove the value of the Yin Guang Shu industry down further.

All I can say is that data can make you successful, and data can also make you fail.

Everything the program calculates is to make the electromechanical city data better.

Data centers cannot compute for an uncertain future.

Therefore, they can only learn the most reliable success model based on the current environment and directly copy homework.

Before the establishment of the electromechanical city, the electromechanical life forms headed by the Tarzan Knights were less constrained and imitated nature to explore the technology of printing light. Now that it has stabilized, it has also been constrained.

"Something has gone wrong within the legal front."

"According to the framework I set, external information collection and manual intervention mechanisms should be enabled now."

Guan Zhong said confidently: "Now the old problem will arise again. The interests of large cities and small and medium-sized cities are inconsistent. The more the economy declines, the stronger the siphon effect of the former will be, and they will continue to absorb the resources and population of the latter. The contradiction between the two will be further exacerbated."

"As long as the mechanical and electrical administrators cannot create miracles and stabilize the existing order, this is the inevitable result."

Zhou Yi said: "There shouldn't be a miracle, it has been caught by me."

"what……"

Guan Zhong was stunned for a moment: "Then... it should be soon. Mechanical and electrical cities are efficient in all aspects. Success will come quickly, but conflicts will also break out quickly."

"It depends on what situation it breaks out in."

It said, “I have a proposal.”

"Chairman, do you want to consider annexing the Mechanical and Electrical City Cluster?"
