Wasteland Development Diary

#257 - Core Industries

The trip to the Dead Sea in spring was smooth sailing, and Zhou Yi didn't encounter any twists and turns along the way.

Of course, it might just be survivor bias.

After all, in the eyes of other life forms, the combination of Yalong Bay and the Olympic Sports Center is a disaster on the move.

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

The cheerful and active latter was also happy to talk.

"I have two abilities."

"One is 'Competition'. No matter what form the competition or confrontation takes, entering my body will continuously increase the intensity. The winner can break through their current limit and also receive a portion of energy and a consciousness as a reward. The higher the intensity, the higher the reward."

"The second is 'Gathering'. I can gather many people together and keep them focused on the competition. The more people who enter my body to watch the competition, the greater the help to my evolution and improvement."

The two abilities complement each other.

It's just that the Kingdom of Heaven used it to create advanced mutants in the past, so it was secretly closed off.

After arriving in United City, the Olympic Sports Center will be used for civilian activities rather than military purposes, and these two major abilities can truly exert their power.

Hearing that the architectural life form could fly, it was greatly surprised: "Can you really do it?"

"Of course."

Zhou Yi had Emerald City demonstrate taking off and hovering, which made the Olympic Sports Center very envious.

"I really want to try flying too."

Zhou Yi said, "There will be opportunities in the future. This technology is still in the development stage."

"I hope you can improve this ability as soon as possible and equip me with it when the time comes."

The Olympic Sports Center was full of expectations: "In the past, I was always trapped on Dongji Island. If I could fly, I could really see this world."

"You will."

……

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

Emerald City guided the way, with the lotus-shaped Olympic Sports Center following behind.

The locals along the way curiously sized up the unfamiliar alien. The Olympic Sports Center was completely different from any local building and was particularly eye-catching.

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

The docks were crowded with transport ships, each flying flags representing different camps and organizations. A large number of goods were constantly being sent in from the outside, being boxed and sent away at the docks. What he could see included wood, ironware, imitations, canned oil, and various daily necessities.

In the fields, a large number of red cherry tomatoes were already hanging on the branches, and the number of planters was also much larger than before.

The city streets had been renovated and looked brand new.

There were sewers and drainage ditches, and rows of newly built brick and stone houses were neatly arranged. The streets divided the city into different areas, some of which were markets for stalls, some were concentrated residential areas, and some were public areas with gardens and walking stone paths.

The number of residents living here had greatly increased. In addition to the main body of New Humans, there were also many Bone Clan members appearing. They were basically merchants and craftsmen, obviously immigrants from other places.

In addition, Zhou Yi also saw the Mountain Dog clan belonging to the Tengu, and many dog-headed people were active here.

They were mainly engaged in construction projects here, wearing wooden helmets and paving roads and building houses. They were very efficient when working. The Mountain Dogs barked in dog language, and the sounds rose and fell.

With the blessing of money, the entire United City was now full of vitality.

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

As the huge sports center landed steadily, the spring agreement was completed.

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

The final payment was in hand.

"Thank you very much, it's been a pleasure working with you."

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

In order to shirk responsibility and maintain secrecy, the Kingdom of Heaven publicized the Olympic Sports Center as a terrifying alien that destroyed an area with its own power.

At this time, it was already famous without any publicity.

Zhou Yi raised a question he had: "What is the pillar industry of United City? Is it balanced in revenue and expenditure now?"

As an emerging A-level city, United City can obtain a large number of loans from Mechanical City. But burning money will always burn out. Without the ability to generate its own blood, it will be extremely difficult in the future.

"United City's infrastructure is complete, and it was completed with loans. However, our income is much greater than our expenditure, and the current economic situation is very healthy."

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

"Satellite services, we have gradually opened to some cities, charging annual fees, providing three special services including meteorological satellites, land satellites, and resource satellites. The price is not low."

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

Kunming Station did not talk about the conflict between United City and Star Hub.

Zhou Yi didn't ask either.

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

"Secondly, there is the prison."

"Meizhou Prison provides paid services to the outside world."

Kunming Station said: "The services we provide include capture and imprisonment."

"The capture is difficult and the cost is high. However, there are also some special criminals - in short. They are B-level life forms who use Meizhou Prison to exercise their own strength. They are willing to capture criminals in order to obtain an extension of their prison combat training."

"Imprisonment is the responsibility of Meizhou Prison. If judged by level, it is A-level. Even a Sky Walker can be stably bound and locked as long as they are locked in prison."

Zhou Yi's heart trembled.

The prison's strength was higher than expected.

"External parties who entrust us to house criminals need to pay the corresponding detention expenses. Many B-level life forms that cannot be restrained by the city are now gradually being transferred to us. Of course, managing these high-intensity criminals also requires them to pay the corresponding high costs."

Kunming Station said: "Meizhou Prison now houses a total of 400 criminals, of which 52 have reached B-level. The prison's capacity limit is 4,000 people, so we still have a lot of room for accommodation."

"Furthermore, the stronger the imprisoned criminals, the higher the improvement of Meizhou Prison. It is expandable and scalable, and it is also a core pillar industry of United City."

"The Olympic Sports Center's ability has strong applicability. It will provide another practice field for improving Guangna species and strengtheners, which will be open to the public for a fee, and will also bring a continuous 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 as deeply as possible, and concentrate our strength and resources to enhance our leading position in related fields."

……

On the way home, Zhou Yi's mind kept echoing what the satellite station said.

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

It was the first time to start a company, and everything had to be explored.

We must concentrate our efforts to develop core advantages.

This idea is very correct.

Zhou Yi opened his diary, looked at the various notes he had written on it, and quickly reviewed 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 required positions in various departments in the future, and gradually show their creativity and profit-making ability.

But the company's current core competitiveness is architectural life, mushroom forests, and express delivery.

We must increase investment in these three areas.

……

When he returned to Emerald City, it was already the third month of spring.

Zhou Yi saw that the green area near the residential area had increased significantly, and there were almost flowers and plants everywhere. When he first came here the year before last, there was sand everywhere, with only a few sparse weeds.

Assistant Gong Zheng, who came to greet him, said with a smile: "Chairman, this is also the result of everyone's efforts."

"First of all, everyone has become wealthier, and there is less damage to trees and grasslands, and no longer use a large number of branches and grass as fuel. Therefore, more vegetation can be retained and continued."

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

"Then there is the Guangtai Dam. Yuan Tong also repeatedly ordered that it is forbidden to destroy the flowers, plants and mushrooms planted around the dam, and those who violate it will be severely punished."

"These vegetation can absorb harmful haze particles and protect everyone to collect Guangtai more safely and healthily. This also plays an important role, because most employees are Guangtai workers, and no one wants to go against themselves."

"Cao Dayuan also talked to me about this."

Gong Zheng recalled: "He said that the current employees and residents are not like before. In the past, they would argue red-faced for a pile of shit, but now everyone is more polite and pays attention to things."

"Many people are now starting to grow flowers and plants, raise gerbils, and now they are also raising birds. The two most popular things in the company right now are takeaway and raising things."

Zhou Yi became interested: "Did Sha Haigong make takeaway work?"

"Yes, Chairman."

Gong Zheng stretched out his hand and pointed to a large wooden building not far from the dam: "Sha Haigong built a shop outside Emerald City, specializing in takeaway from Shagang City and Jitou Town."

"The main sales are still restaurant food and daily consumables. Everyone now likes to order takeaway very much. Although it will cost a little more for shipping, everyone likes and is comfortable not having to run around."

"The takeaway team can also earn shipping fees, and the restaurant can profit, which is a win-win situation for all three parties."

Zhou Yi nodded.

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

As the population continues to pour in, employment opportunities are also becoming more numerous.

"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 see you and talk to you face-to-face. They arrived half a month ago and are still waiting for your news."

"Their abilities are different."

"One is a Guangna species, who says he is good at planting and cultivating and is a gardener. The other is a mechanical life, who claims to be a programmer. They all say they have something to show you."

Programmer?

Finally, some senior talents have come to join us.

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