Wasteland Development Diary

Chapter 293: Sanctions Intensify (Begging for monthly tickets from readers at the beginning of the month~)

The addition of two Death Angels has greatly enriched the company's reserve of A-level employees.

Sun Hao is a new generation Death Angel cultivated by the company. He has a stable personality, and his ability is that of a mental physician, but he also has the potential danger of a dream demon.

Yuanxiao, who traveled thousands of miles to find her relatives, still has great uncertainty. Although she joined the company due to realistic factors and proposed the condition of defeating the dragon to save her daughter, she may also change her mind and leave.

Zhou Yi maintained a normal attitude towards this.

Risks and opportunities have always coexisted. It is a personal choice for employees to come and go, and it is not necessary to force them to be tied to the company forever.

He wouldn't be surprised if Yuanxiao suddenly disappeared one day.

Through her, Zhou Yi learned a lot about Death Angels and also learned about the forbidden continent in the Far East that is not on the map.

After a period of running-in, Zhou Yi officially appointed Yuanxiao as his assistant—because Gong Zheng is now busy with affairs, coordinating various departments outside every day, and also managing the distribution of wages, he is really overwhelmed.

Compared to Gong Zheng, Yuanxiao is not good at coordination and communication, but she is very good at fighting and has extremely strong experience and intuition in combat. She is also a good bodyguard.

This will free up Spotlight and Wu Yi, allowing them to focus on their respective careers.

For convenience, Zhou Yi gave Yuanxiao a room to live in, so that she could be called upon at any time.

Sometimes he would fall asleep on the sofa while reading comics.

Several times at night, Yuanxiao's eyes were red, and she tiptoed around him, seemingly wanting to take advantage of his sleep to attack, but in the end, she restrained herself.

All of this was clearly seen by Emerald City, which transmitted it to Zhou Yi through synchronous consciousness, reminding him to be careful and vigilant.

However, Zhou Yi was not worried.

Because now he switches to Machine Body 2 when he sleeps, allowing Xiaofu to take the first wave of damage. Now the life value of the Retrograders has already exceeded 150,000 and is still continuously recovering.

As long as she dares to attack, he will transform her into a Fire Seed life.

In the future, she will be used as an external hard drive.

One night, Yuanxiao finally stretched out her hand—the result was to put a blanket on Zhou Yi, and then she looked around, seeming relieved.

Zhou Yi woke up and asked her what was going on.

"I consulted with Red Falcon, and it provided me with several Dead Sea Scrolls about assistants and secretaries. Taking care of the chairman is the responsibility of the assistant."

"Many documents inside introduce it in detail, from appearance and dress to daily work and life... I am carefully observing and learning."

Yuanxiao's image also changed rapidly.

She cut her long hair into short hair, wore a black leather jacket over her white coat, and also put on black short boots, looking much more capable.

Zhou Yi also gradually realized.

Although Yuanxiao is already the mother of two children and has been hunting in the Dead Sea for many years, her life is mainly about fighting, so she is still very inexperienced in taking care of people and working.

Zhou Yi told her: "You don't have to do that. An assistant is just my helper. I will ask you to do whatever I need. Usually, in your free time, you should study more about things you are interested in."

"No."

But she insisted: "When doing something, you must do your best to do it well. In deep-sea hunting, if you are a little bit off, you may end up empty-handed when facing those B-level prey. I have never underestimated or indulged in hunting. Every time, I treat it as the last hunt."

"Therefore, I will also become the best assistant and firmly grasp this position!"

It's a good thing to go all out and maintain high standards.

So Zhou Yi let her do it.

Besides, he really didn't have time to consider these things.

The new round of sanctions from the Mechanical and Electrical City was giving Zhou Yi a headache.

...

Two days ago, another special envoy from the Mirror City Security Department, a white airship, came to the sky above Emerald City.

It connected with Red Falcon and requested again: "Please hand over the semi-civilized body that performed illegal surgery to us. We will supervise these individuals with major defects and risks to avoid causing more disruption to order."

"Please also cooperate with our unified review. We will send law enforcement vehicles to confirm whether the company's electromechanical life forms are infected, spreading, severely ill, or out of control."

"This is the last chance for your company."

This time, Zhou Yi was too lazy to pretend to be polite and directly replied.

"Get lost."

The airship only said: "Your company will pay a huge price for this decision, which is a pity."

That day.

Several sea lords of the Development Alliance hurried to the outside of Emerald City.

"Mr. Zhou, the situation is not good now. The sanctions have been upgraded."

Sha Hai Gong said with a frown: "In the Protocol Announcement No. 412.39, Shell City, Steel Refining City, Tree Monster Territory, and Sha Port City have all been included."

"Now we are prohibited from purchasing medicines and equipment from Mechanical and Electrical City. In addition, air and sea control has been initiated, prohibiting us from approaching the airspace and sea areas of Mechanical and Electrical City."

"The mining of optical spar mines on the Steel Refining Gong's side has also been terminated. They said that due to force majeure factors, they refused to pay the corresponding losses."

The person involved, Steel Refining Gong, said: "All the mining equipment for the optical spar mines has been transferred away, and everything has to start from scratch. Moreover, because the blowout location has been specially modified, it will be very difficult for other organizations to take over."

"Currently, my initial idea is to have Steel Refining City develop it ourselves and slowly find suitable partners."

"The optical spar mine is always there. Although there are losses, we can gradually stop the losses. But the problem with the export of steel is now very big..."

Zhou Yi couldn't help but think: "The main steel export of Steel Refining City is to the United City, right? I haven't heard from the United City that they have stopped trading with us. What's the specific problem?"

"Transportation."

Steel Refining Gong explained: "The distance from Steel Refining City to the United City is far, and it needs to pass through some large ports along the way, sailing along the fixed trade routes in the Dead Sea. The most important transit stations, Coral Mouth and 6th Block, cannot be docked or entered."

"Not to mention Coral Mouth. Although 6th Block is a Photon City, independently operated by the Photon Race, they have close economic and technological cooperation with Mechanical and Electrical City, so they are greatly affected. They also prohibit our ships and goods from entering and docking."

It said quite helplessly: "We have to find other transit stations to maintain and supply the ships, so that the crew can rest a little. Currently, the ports that are willing to accept us have very high prices and are unwilling to sign any agreements, only making verbal promises. Changing routes also carries the risk of being robbed by pirates."

Zhou Yi frowned upon hearing this.

Mechanical and Electrical City's sanctions against the company mainly drastically reduced related income, but because the company has a diversified industrial layout, it is only a matter of earning more or less.

But this is a huge blow to other cities in the alliance. The Mechanical and Electrical City groups are shrinking in all aspects to impact and squeeze their core industries.

Zhou Yi asked: "Can other human city channels digest the steel?"

"The main sales targets of Steel Refining City, in addition to the United City, are actually the Mechanical and Electrical Cities, because mechanical and electrical life forms have the greatest demand for metals. They continuously consume a large amount of metal and energy."

"Human cities, perhaps the Shuanghe region can digest a part. However, they have fixed suppliers and can purchase them from the Heavenly Kingdom at a cheaper price."

Steel Refining Gong added: "Currently, we have a large surplus of steel and have not found a buyer. In addition, we have been attacked twice at sea, and three transport ships have been robbed, one of which was taken away."

Everyone had no solution to this.

The most ⊥new⊥novel⊥is⊥at⊥six⊥9⊥book⊥bar⊥first⊥published!

Mechanical and Electrical City controls the throat of the port and has a substantial monopoly in Dead Sea trade. Whether it is human cities or Photon cities, they need their support and nod in all aspects.

"I have shut down half of the steel plants and only kept one blast furnace for basic production."

Steel Refining Gong also gave his own response: "Nearly half of the workers have been diverted and transferred to the manufacture of refrigerated boxes."

"Fortunately, we have refrigerated boxes, which can support a large population. And unlike steel, there is a very high demand for refrigerated boxes from the outside world."

"Because our prices and unique technology make the sanctions ineffective in this area, all parties are purchasing a large number of refrigerated boxes, and we don't even need to worry about transportation."

Zhou Yi felt a little relieved.

Finally, there was some good news.

Sha Hai Gong also echoed: "Speaking of exporting special commodities, our Sha Port is not bad either. Emerald Soup and the New Flame Cup have slowly increased in production, and the purchase volume from all parties is still very large. After all, any city needs high-quality food that is easy to store, as well as heating and fire-making tools."

"Among us, the least affected is Shell City. Bei Du Gong has been making transformation layouts early on, and further commercializing the mushroom houses is indeed a sharp vision."

Bei Du Gong opened his mouth and said: "This is also thanks to the technological invention of the mushroom forest. I just discovered this in the war. It can be regarded as a blessing in disguise."

"Actually, we have also been affected to a certain extent. Because Shell City has been downgraded and the Mechanical and Electrical City account has been frozen, transactions must be made through the Photon Box, which has certain risks. I am trying to find a solution to this problem."

"However, there is a very interesting situation with the mushroom houses. Initially, because it was too hot in the summer and there was little rainfall, the mushroom houses fell into difficulty. Because the lack of water caused slow growth, death rays allowed them to absorb power, but it was difficult to grow vertically."

"The lack of water made them insufficient in height and turned into horizontal expansion. The horizontally expanded mushroom houses are more spacious and cooler. The lack of water and sufficient death rays caused the outer skin to be as hard as stone, turning it into a summer-specific mushroom house."

"The special mushroom houses have improved resistance to blows and can withstand E-level or even D-level energy explosions. As long as they are connected, they can be used as public buildings."

"Because of this characteristic, there is now an upward trend against the trend. The Fangshi Association, the Craftsmen's Guild, and the Knights are all purchasing a large number of summer-specific mushroom houses."

Zhou Yi sighed in his heart that nature is indeed magical and can always make a subtle dynamic balance adjustment to all things.

He finally asked Shu Huan Gong, who had not spoken all the time: "How is the situation in the Tree Monster Territory?"

This person was sanctioned as soon as he joined the Development Alliance.

It can only be said that his luck was not very good.

In the screen, Shu Huan Gong, shaped like a large black cat, licked his tongue: "We mainly export wood, fruits, and fish. Now the alliance can digest it internally, and we don't feel anything. It's just that the aquatic electromechanical Celeseliba chose to resign before, making it difficult for us to recruit electromechanical professionals..."

What it said was also the situation faced by other cities.

Under the strong sanctions of the Mechanical and Electrical City, several electromechanical life forms in the cities of the Development Alliance resigned and left. Currently, electromechanical life forms cannot be hired, and some other professionals and enhancers have also quietly left.

Only ordinary humans are less affected, as long as they can get paid.

Sha Gang Gong said with a smile: "The company is still powerful. Now even Death Angels have become employees. It's really gratifying."

It whispered: "Mechanical and Electrical City has warned us that if we want to lift the sanctions, we must withdraw from the Development Alliance. But of course, we are all firmly opposed. Everyone knows that this is the future."

The further sanctions of the Mechanical and Electrical City want to put pressure on and dismember this alliance group.

Zhou Yi pondered in his heart.

It's actually targeting the company so much.

The intensity of this sanction far exceeds that of the other two first-batch cities.

It seems that the pressure on the Mechanical and Electrical City is greater than imagined.

The more the enemy opposes us, the more it means we are doing something right.

They are afraid of the time anchors and the repair of more semi-civilized bodies.

Zhou Yi is even more confident.

For the unilateral sanctions of the Mechanical and Electrical City, the Development Alliance must currently resist hard, and must adhere to independent production and seek breakthroughs in the cracks.

The victory in the War of Honor has made the several sea lords obviously more confident, and everyone is actively looking for countermeasures.

When the video conference ended, Steel Refining Gong suddenly contacted Zhou Yi.

"Mr. Zhou, if you have time, please come to Steel Refining City."

"A worker here has modified a new generation of refrigerated boxes. I think it's not bad and I want you to come and take a look and give some pointers."

Steel Refining City has a new invention.

Zhou Yi immediately said: "I will come over now."
