Chapter 1402: Change direction and head towards the unknown!
Thanks to not being affected by the decisive battle between humans and aliens at the end of the year.
In just half a year, Longqi's development progress has been unusually rapid. The progress in basic industries is even much faster than the development of combat capabilities. Its level can basically equal the level of waste. Earth World is about four years old.
In this prosperous land, the foundation for rebuilding industry has been firmly laid.
Factories of various sizes have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. They not only form the core of the territory’s industrial system, but also provide hundreds of millions of jobs and bring a stable source of income to local survivors. .
Every day, these busy factories produce a massive amount of industrial products, ranging from sophisticated machinery and equipment to daily necessities.
The emergence of these industrial products not only meets the basic living needs of the residents of the territory, but also injects continuous vitality into the economic development surrounding the territory.
They are like a powerful driving force, pushing the Long Banner territory forward.
What is even more rare is that the early development of Longqi territory also brought an unexpected harvest.
Many basic talents who should have been eliminated in wars and accidents survived. After being gathered by Longqi, their development speed was invisibly increased, and the effect of one plus one was far greater than two.
As long as there are no disasters, the current development speed may be much faster than that of the 1970s and 1980s.
However, beneath all the luxuriant flowers, there are also many big thunders that could explode at any time.
Although the development progress of the Dragon Banner Territory is amazing, equaling the level of the Wasteland in about four years, sometimes too fast development is not necessarily a good thing.
For example, the current external environment has failed to keep up with the development of the Long Banner territory. Other small and medium-sized territories around Long Banner are still stuck at the normal level of two years, which makes it impossible for them to consume a huge Massive industrial products produced by industrial entities.
To give a specific example, the factories in Longqi Territory are running day and night, and indeed produce a variety of urgently needed daily necessities, from exquisite ceramic tableware to comfortable clothing, shoes and hats.
However, these products have not been warmly welcomed in the current wasteland world.
Because for most wasteland survivors, their more urgent needs are food and the ability to protect themselves. In a wasteland with scarce resources and dangers, a sharp weapon or a bag of Adequate food is far more practical and precious than a beautiful set of tableware or comfortable clothing.
This imbalance between supply and demand has undoubtedly brought tremendous pressure to the Longqi territory.
Industrial products are unsaleable, resources are wasted, and economic circulation is blocked. These series of problems are like undercurrents that may erupt at any time, bringing an unprecedented crisis to the current prosperous development.
The emergence of energy issues has intensified the extremes of this process.
Long Anguo knew very well that once the first factory was unable to sustain production and closed down due to lack of demand, the workers inside lost their source of income and were forced to return to their previous state of survival.
Under the chain reaction, the entire Longqi will fall into a vicious cycle.
The factory closed down, leaving workers with no income.
Workers' confidence in the future has decreased, causing domestic demand to shrink further.
With no domestic demand and unclear external demand, more factories closed down.
The prosperity built now may completely fall apart in just a few months.
Of course, exporting various thermal weapons that survivors are in urgent need of is indeed the best way to make money in a short period of time.
But Long Anguo did not want to lift the order banning foreign sales of weapons until it was absolutely necessary, or even at the last moment.
This is a Pandora's box, and the three Yu family territories are trying not to open the box.
Long Anguo, Frutos, Kanekilov and the think tanks behind them all know that at the moment when large and small territories have just been established, the survivors are far from solving the material problem. .
If these people can easily obtain a batch of powerful weapons, they will never continue to develop peacefully, but will instantly point their guns at their own people!
How to say that sentence.
My neighbor stores food and I store guns. My neighbor is my granary.
The plundering between territories, the killing among survivors, and the rapid deterioration of the environment will all start quickly after the flow of firepower and weapons.
Perhaps even without the intervention of foreign races, the civil war among humans can consume half of them.
And once the war starts, the industrial products needed for daily life will not be favored by the survivors. Everyone will only increase the demand for weapons without limit until the winner is finally determined, or the remaining resources are enough to be divided up.
“The gap is too big. Once it enters the dry season, there is no way to solve it.”
Long Anguo flipped through the report page after page, his eyes revealing deep thinking.
The personnel responsible for this investigation and the members of the think tank have undoubtedly devoted a lot of effort, and the recommendations given in the report are detailed and comprehensive.
The first thing that catches the eye is the proposal to halt the pace of factory and industrial expansion.
It suggested that Longqi should stabilize the current development trend and temporarily slow down its pace in order to find more suitable solutions.
However, as soon as this suggestion appeared in Long Anguo's mind, he quickly rejected it.
He knows very well that today's Longqi is like a train that has started at high speed, speeding along an unknown track.
On this journey full of unknowns and challenges, it is never easy to stop or slow down.
What's more, such a move is likely to bring about a series of unpredictable consequences. The rapid development of Longqi has turned it into a huge system, and every slight change may cause Overall shock.
In addition to the recommendation to stop expansion, the report also mentioned another strategy: optimizing the existing industrial structure and improving production efficiency and quality.
This suggestion advocates conducting an in-depth analysis and evaluation of Longqi's current industry, identifying those links that are inefficient and weakly competitive, and making corresponding improvements and optimizations.
In this way, Longcheer can not only maintain the current development speed, but also further enhance its competitiveness and market position.
However, it is still just talk on paper, and it is still applying the solutions to similar problems encountered in modern development.
At present, there are only two fundamental problems encountered by Longqi:
Domestic demand is insufficient and external demand is stagnant.
Any other solution than directly addressing these two points is scratching the surface.
At this moment, the door of the secret meeting room was knocked from outside.
"Lord Dragon, a letter from Tianyuan."
It is from the Liaison Department. The sealed bag in his hand contains the information just obtained through the World Channel.
As one of the largest territories at present, preventing external leaks is already a normal operation.
The code words transcribed from the World Channel will be divided into dozens of paragraphs and handed over to different people for translation, and then integrated by people who have been enforcing confidentiality regulations all year round and cannot communicate with the outside world.
Finally, it was packed and bagged and submitted to Long Anguo and the think tank.
It can be said that before Long Anguo opened the sealed bag, no one in Longqi territory knew what was specifically said.
“Tianyuan?”
Long Anguo quickly put out his cigarette butt and threw the information in his hand aside.
But before he could open the sealed bag, there were seven or eight figures coming to the door. It seemed that they were all here for the information in the sealed bag.
"Everyone is so anxious. How come you are not so concerned about the communication between the Golden Eagle and the North?" Seeing everyone walking in anxiously, Long Anguo frowned slightly and said angrily. .
When a group of people heard this, a trace of helplessness appeared on their faces.
"Lord, those two territories can't help us solve the problem, so why are you so interested?"
"I can't solve my own problems, but it seems that Tianyuan can help us solve it."
Long Anguo coughed lightly. Although he thought so in his heart, as a lord, he couldn't express it so directly.
The Yusan family claims to be helping each other, but in fact they are secretly competing with each other.
If anyone can solve the current problems, it will not be a problem to secure the top spot in the next few years.
"Since you are all here, let's watch together. Xiao Zhou goes and calls the rest of the people over."
"It's not too late."
Long Anguo lifts Wrist, it's only around three in the morning, no one goes to bed at such an early hour.
Usually I stay up until five or six in the morning to have breakfast, and then give the order to gather in the evening, and then I go to sleep for two or three hours.
When I wake up and confirm again that there is no problem, I will catch up on my sleep until the afternoon and continue working until the early morning of the next day.
Sure enough, within ten minutes, the conference room was filled with people.
After hearing the letters from Tianyuan one by one, they felt as if they had been given a shot of blood, and there was no trace of fatigue at all.
"Be quiet, are you clear about the previous confidentiality regulations?"
"Clear, Lord, hurry up and take it apart, we will wait and see."
" What’s the hurry?”
As Long Anguo spoke, he quickly opened the seal on the sealed bag.
There were seven or eight pieces of paper in the bag, which contained a lot of information. This made Long Anguo raise his brows and feel secretly happy.
Open the bag and pull out the top piece of paper.
‘Change the direction of development and reshape the future of human wasteland based on the development route’
“This”
Long Anguo frowned habitually, subconsciously thinking that the tone of his words was really too loud, but when he thought it was Tian Yuan's letter, he read it carefully.
Then, his face seemed to change, changing back and forth from other people's perspectives.
One moment he frowned in thought, the other moment he was in awe, and the next moment he shook his head in anger. In short, two words: complicated!
“Lord, what is written on it?”
“Stop arguing, aren’t I reading right now?”
Long Anguo read it once and felt that he had not grasped the key points, so he continued to read it a second time.
This information from Tianyuan was rarely sent by Sumo.
In other words, this is not an exchange between the two territories, but what Somo himself meant.
The letter stated.
Singlely following the old path to develop old industries will not be able to change the current difficulties faced by humans in the wasteland, nor will it be able to cope with possible changes (especially disasters) that may occur in the future.
We should follow the current public will and use the development route as one of the supplementary means to expand domestic demand.
For external affairs, the first task is to formulate rules and constraints, establish a complete supervision mechanism, and appropriately relax demand, so that quantitative external demand can be restored.
Domestic demand, external demand!
Seeing these two terms again, Long Anguo couldn't help being surprised.
Has Sumo already guessed the current dilemma Long Qi is facing?
"You all come and take a look. Don't say anything after reading. Think carefully before discussing."
Written a few key words in a notebook, Long Anguo handed over the information and began to circulate it among the crowd for reading.
They are all smart people, and everyone clearly understands the issues that are hidden in the letter.
But despite what Long Anguo said, after seeing the content of the information, a group of people couldn't help but discuss it in a low voice.
And it was very obvious that the discussion group immediately divided into three groups.
In fact, before seeing this letter, there were already three different views within the Longqi territory on whether they should follow the old path of science and technology.
The first type of people are firm reformers.
These people believe that even if the development of science and technology is restored to the modern level, it is far from being able to solve the current difficulties, especially in the face of mysterious games and natural disasters, human technology seems so pale and powerless. .
Otherwise, there would be no need to urgently build shelters for all humans to hide in before the asteroid hits.
Therefore, they advocate that human beings should now turn to in-depth study of alien races, analyze the mysterious route power, and strive to master the second different power to spread risks.
The second type of people, on the other hand, are equally firm conservatives.
They firmly believe that the alien race’s approach will not work, otherwise they would not be thrown into this wasteland by the game to suffer.
And that mysterious route ability is given by the game. Even if it is developed, the result will be no matter whether the game wants to take it back or not.
For example, this time the old and new activities have fully proved that the game also has the ability to wipe out human beings and take back the route.
Developing these non-human powers is tantamount to digging your own grave.
As for the third type of people, they are not neutrals who believe that both sides are reasonable, but fusionists who are equally firm in their beliefs.
They advocate that the territory should not pin all its hopes on one direction, but should develop two forces at the same time
Technology needs it, and so does the route. When the time comes, they can complement each other's weaknesses. Only when technology and routes go hand in hand can real prosperity and stability be brought to the Long Banner territory.
As time goes by, the quarrels between the three factions have never stopped. Everyone has his own opinions and reasons, and no one can convince the other.
But now, the letter in front of everyone seems to be an opportunity to solve this problem.
"Lord Su, it seems that you want us to give up traditional large-scale industrial production?"
Unexpectedly, the first person to speak turned out to be a conservative. In the past, if others dared to say that we should give up large-scale industry, they would definitely He will spray you with blood.
But when the person speaking was Sumo, his firm belief couldn't help but be shaken.
