Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 670 This will require a huge increase in money.
We confirm that the company is making good progress in its two key areas.

Zhou Yi then began to pay attention to the second artificial sun.

It sank into the Dead Sea as soon as it arrived on Earth and is currently undergoing closed testing.

703 had informed the Lunar Affairs Department beforehand that it needed to test its capabilities after fusing with the artificial sun and would temporarily disconnect from the outside world.

There's nothing in the Dead Sea that could pose a threat to the artificial sun. So there's no need to worry about its safety.

It entered the depths of the Dead Sea and remained stably suspended after descending to a certain height.

Zhou Yi was also waiting for the test to end over there.

And so they waited, and summer turned to autumn.

During this period, Sun One has carried out disaster relief in various regions that requested assistance, reducing surface temperatures and bringing rainfall to the local areas, and collecting a large amount of meteorological data in the process.

Climate change is a highly sophisticated chaotic model.

Precise calculations are impossible, so we can only try the most basic method locally.

However, for some already arid and severely desertified areas, the situation is no worse than dying of thirst and suffering from heatstroke. Artificial suns are mainly used in these extreme areas to carry out artificial weather intervention.

This has given the locals a much-needed respite. But to truly change the face of the area, they must start by transforming the land themselves, curbing desertification through afforestation, constructing water conservancy projects, and increasing urban infrastructure and governance capabilities.

Unfortunately, most barren lands face a series of difficulties, and only a few are able to overcome these difficulties and achieve transformation.

Although the company's artificial sun is deployed for free, the revenue comes from local meteorological data.

According to Turing and wind engineer Handing, small-scale, short-term human intervention and adjustments have a very limited impact on the climate, as nature itself has a very strong capacity for adjustment and flexibility.

The vast majority of climate interventions are successful and beneficial.

After the dry season ends, the artificial sun will cease its mission and resume its function as a super generator that absorbs and stores dead light.

After a severe drought in the summer, a week-long period of heavy autumn rainfall dealt another blow to agriculture in various regions.

Many territorial water owners requested assistance, but the company did not intervene this time.

While agricultural production has decreased, it hasn't jeopardized human lives. Excessive and prolonged alterations to natural weather patterns could create unpredictable risks. Once existing ecological cycles are disrupted, they will become increasingly chaotic and extreme, leading to a situation where the damage only grows larger and eventually becomes irreparable.

Maintaining sufficient reverence for nature itself is a principle that electromechanical life forms firmly adhere to.

Zhou Yi also deeply agreed with this.

However, things got better after the continuous autumn rains.

First, this year's radish harvest has reached an all-time high. Although the summer drought caused a severe reduction in production, because this economically valuable species has spread all over the world, across the eastern and western continents, there are still high-quality agricultural areas that are unaffected.

The company had a blast buying things in the market, purchasing 5000 million radish tendons and 810 million roughly processed consciousness nerves from heaven this season.

Considering the impact of the severe drought, and the fact that this unusual radish requires more land and has a longer growing period than ordinary radishes, it is already quite remarkable.

Zhou Yi was very pleased with this.

It is the right thing to open up a path for encouraging planting to the outside world.

With such a large quantity, if Shagang or the Development Alliance were to cultivate it themselves, not only would there not be enough land, but the probability of crop failure and reduced yield due to extreme weather would also be very high.

By distributing these resources across the world, the risks can be effectively spread, ensuring a bountiful harvest in some areas, which in turn increases the total volume significantly.

Foreign Trade Minister Red Falcon said, "We have also adjusted the transaction method this week. Originally, it was agreed to purchase with light-type equipment, but various regions are very eager for our wasteland armor, so we will use this finished device for exchange."

"The wasteland armor is priced at 120 light seeds. If they learn how to operate it to capture fragments of consciousness, and the company uses the Evil Brain Motor to measure and purchase them, they can recoup their investment in two months. People all over the world have already realized its enormous value."

"The Strange Carrot is a long-term, stable source of income that can solve employment problems and support a large number of people. The Wasteland Armor, on the other hand, allows the economy to snowball faster the sooner you get it."

Zhou Yi said, "Is the production of wasteland armor going up now?"

The drone said, "The legal front has expanded to five lines, from modular production of five major systems to assembly and testing of streamlined operations. However, considering the risks and quality control involved, its production efficiency is comparable to that of luxury advanced reinforced vehicles, with an average daily output of 70 wasteland armors and an annual output of 25550 units."

"The vast majority of them were bought by large groups such as Heaven, the Five Cities, and the Knights Order. They placed their orders a long time ago. Only a small portion was reserved in advance as part of the quota for one Wasteland Armor per region, to be paired with the Strange Carrot Farm."

"This is also to prevent shoddy workmanship from the source," Hong Kong explained.

"Wasteland armor is being deployed gradually, and its numbers will continue to increase, becoming as common as locomotives. They are very strong and can be operated by ordinary people. However, if there are any loopholes or hidden dangers, they could cause regional disasters."

Zhou Yi has no doubt about the rigor and calculations of the legal and rational front.

Wasteland armor combines economic benefits with strength and functionality, and has been recognized by rulers and people in various regions.

Zhou Yi then asked, "I saw before that Shagang was setting up shuttle buses?"

Looking out from the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see a black, light-up double-track railway that has been completed, right on one side of the new Emerald Avenue. It is currently running empty.

"Yes."

Red Falcon said, "We are currently in the trial operation phase. We have expanded the number of carriages here, and it is similar to the train model of the Rail Knights. It is somewhat similar to the old humans' levitation train, but its size is between a large bus and a train. It consists of two to three carriages connected together to ensure that each train can accommodate enough people."

"The manufacturing department's plan is to fix the track on the Wuhu viaduct, and use the viaduct to connect the five major regions of the development alliance. Shuttle buses will serve as the official public transportation tool, traveling between the development alliance areas." "This will effectively alleviate traffic pressure and improve road transport efficiency."

It's actually an intercity ground rail.

"However, we still need to test passenger capacity and some specific data, so we are currently conducting trial runs with empty vehicles."

Zhou Yi nodded: "That's good, let's proceed step by step."

……

It's another rainy day.

Zhou Yi was listening to MR. Doujuezi's latest music album, "Now or never (Opportunity knocks but once)".

He used to have a somewhat prejudiced view of this musician with the bizarre name, but after actually listening to his songs, he found them to be quite good.

It effortlessly incorporates various languages ​​from around the world, most of which are catchy and easy to sing along to, and there are also purely instrumental versions. Whether you're looking for a powerful, upbeat rhythm or seeking relaxation and emotional resonance, you can find what you're looking for in its songs.

Listening to it makes my brain feel relaxed and comfortable.

It's like a cranial massage.

Karaoke enthusiasts also really like its songs.

Doujuezi Music is a huge success; they have real talent and don't rely on hype.

However, this internet celebrity rarely makes public appearances. Apart from performing on stage, she keeps a low profile in her private life. It is said that her physical body is a digital audio workstation.

It has been calling on electromechanical life forms to love and enjoy music, believing that audio signals are also signals that can be converted into electrical signals, bringing different life experiences to electromechanical life forms.

Doujuezi also opened a free music radio channel in the machine stack, which anyone can listen to, including its own songs and some music that it has purchased the copyright to.

It also established an electromechanical music fund, where any professional musician in the electromechanical field can submit their work. If the work is of good quality, it will receive support from the fund.

They have a strong reputation and excellent professional skills.

Zhou Yi plans to invite Dou Juezi to hold a concert to enrich the entertainment activities in Shagang.

After trying to contact him, Qianli reported: "Chairman, Mr. Doujuzi is very honored by your invitation, but his current schedule is not yet finished. He is still touring and performing charity shows in the Western Continent. He will not have a free time until December this year."

Zhou Yi didn't insist: "Then come over at the end of the year."

"Yes, thank you for your understanding."

They've won over this popular celebrity.

Zhou Yi then thought, since the winter rally is about to start anyway, why not have the company sponsor one so that everyone can see what traffic jams feel like up close?

Qianli asked, "If we're sponsoring such a well-known, large-scale event, should we be the exclusive title sponsor or just a regular sponsor?"

Zhou Yi replied matter-of-factly, "Of course, exclusive title sponsorship is also a way to promote the company, which is very important for the company's brand building."

"Exclusive sponsorship of this year's S25 Winter Rally will require approximately 80 light seeds."

"Give it."

"If the race is to take place on our designated route, the price will definitely have to be increased. Let me talk to them first..."

After about half an hour of tug-of-war, Qianli put down the electric cat walkie-talkie: "Chairman, according to our requirements, the competition will be held on the overpass, and we need to pay an additional 40 yuan for the seeds."

"Give."

Zhou Yi stroked his chin: "Since we're the big spenders, we need to do something different. Here's what we'll do: we'll stage a chase, with wasteland armored vehicles pursuing and attacking from behind, Spine Hunters coming out to fire from the sky, and some props set up on the ground. If we're the first to get through, we'll get access to the props and equipment for supplies, which will allow us to withstand the fire."

"The main focus is on the winner who survives to the end. It's not just about who is faster, but also who has the strongest survival skills and the most entertaining content."

"Cars can also attack each other."

"Do you think this is a viable option?"

Qian Su was stunned for a moment: "Changing the competition format like this is indeed more exciting... but Chairman, this will require a huge increase in funding. I need to communicate with the event organizers."

Soon after, Qian Su revealed the other party's offer: "They want a total of 300 million light seeds because it's very difficult and places high demands on the participants, creating a lot of pressure. However, they are also willing to give us the broadcasting rights."

"Give it."

Zhou Yi waved his hand and said, "We'll broadcast the whole thing for free, so everyone can have some fun. We'll combine the concert and the competition, and invite Doujuezi to be the opening act. That way, we'll generate buzz for both sides. This is the first time our company has hosted a world-class large-scale entertainment event, and we're entrusting it entirely to you."

"Yes!"

Qian Su's eyes also gleamed with excitement: "Chairman, rest assured, the Cultural and Entertainment Division will definitely handle this matter well."

"I'll start preparing immediately and will definitely come up with something new by the end of the year, just as you requested!"

"Go."
