Wasteland Development Diary

Summer continued.

The Kestrel indicated that the outdoor temperature was 33.7 degrees Celsius.

The New Humans were unbearably hot, drinking water and eating popsicles like crazy every day.

The problem behind long-term sun exposure was the lack of rainfall, which had a huge impact on agriculture that relied solely on rainfall.

Fortunately, the company also had countermeasures.

First of all, agricultural machinery operations were less affected by the weather environment. Human farmers could stagger their work hours and go to the fields in the cool mornings and evenings to inspect and work.

Secondly, the successful construction of the first Dead Sea Canal drove water conservancy and irrigation, which could draw water from the river and send it to the farmland.

The high pressure brought by the Dead Sea Canal was a pleasant surprise.

Zhou Yi originally had a whim, feeling that it was difficult for gliders to land at low altitudes. If a complete ring-shaped Dead Sea Canal was built, could its inherent high pressure help gliders land?

The principle was to offset the downward pressure of the Dead Sea Canal with the buoyancy of the silk.

He had electromechanical programmers conduct a large number of simulation experiments.

The final conclusion was that it was feasible.

Following this idea, the programmers first modeled and repeatedly tested, and finally determined the specific location and size parameters of the Dead Sea Canal.

Building canals is a highly specialized job, especially when it involves utilizing the Dead Sea estuary, so experienced professionals must be found to do it.

So Zhou Yi found Shang Fulin, hired two professional electromechanical lives for digging ditches through the Spring and Autumn Merchant Group, and handed them over to Gongsun Bao to command.

Gongsun Bao lived up to expectations, completing this infrastructure project to standard in one month and passing the acceptance test.

A parking apron was built on the ring-shaped island in the sea canal, where gliders could both land and take off.

With this core supporting facility solved, gliders could finally be mass-produced.

Then Zhou Yi called Yuan Tong and asked about the manufacturing situation.

"Chairman, the manufacturing speed is still stuck there. In addition to the large amount of time required for parts manufacturing and testing, the installation and testing of the silk glider wings also consumes time."

"After the glider is assembled, it also needs to be flight tested, which takes at least 12 hours."

Yuan Tong smiled wryly: "We now have a total of 31 glider manufacturing workers. Although the work efficiency has obviously increased compared to the past, we can only build one glider a day, and it cannot be improved for the time being."

"There is also the manned glider improved by A Feng and Zhua Ma. That is even slower, because it requires more testing and procedures to ensure balance and stability, and it takes 6 days to build one."

"Currently, we have a total of 48 single-person gliders, of which 35 have completed flight testing. There are 6 manned gliders, of which 4 have completed flight testing."

Zhou Yi frowned: "Too slow."

He looked at Yuan Tong: "Recruit people on a large scale, and use the current backbone workers to train new people. Gliders need to be mass-produced, and we need to start selling them to the public as soon as possible, and we can't delay any longer."

Yuan Tong hesitated for a moment: "If you want to improve efficiency, I have an idea."

"Speak."

"I suggest that the assembly of the outer shell and exoskeleton, and the cutting and installation of the flight wings be handed over to Sha Gang City, and Sha Haigong be responsible for the basic frame. There are many craftsmen, tailors and blacksmiths in Sha Gang City, and it can be faster to hand this part over to them. Then we share a little profit."

Yuan Tong said: "We will complete the final assembly of the core silk glider wings, and do the final assembly and test flight. This can improve efficiency, and we still master the core technology, and we also control the most important safety test."

"If it can be achieved, our personnel can focus on the core two processes. As long as Sha Gang can keep up, we can produce at least 50 gliders per month."

Zhou Yi immediately contacted the other side through the Kestrel.

Hearing this, Sha Haigong readily agreed: "No problem, of course no problem. Mr. Zhou, we have plenty of manpower here and can do this completely. Gliders are finally going to be mass-produced. I have been waiting for this day for a long time."

"We are co-producing, sharing profits, and sharing revenue. The company gets 80% and you get 20%. Is there any problem?"

"No problem."

However, the pricing has not yet been finalized.

Zhou Yi called A Feng and Qian Su together to discuss the price.

Yuan Tong disclosed the data to everyone: "The cost of a single-person glider is 144,000 mushrooms, and the cost of a manned glider is 312,000 mushrooms."

"In the shipyard, the cost of ships is generally 40%-60% of the selling price. According to our low-price strategy, we will use 60% as the standard. The external selling price of a single-person glider should be 240,000 mushrooms, and the price of a manned glider is 520,000 mushrooms."

"The profit of a single-person glider is about 96,000 mushrooms/unit, and the profit of a manned glider is 208,000 mushrooms/unit."

"Compared to reinforced cars and reinforced ships, this price is already very cheap."

A Feng looked embarrassed after hearing this: "It's still so expensive. Even the company's employees will have to work for two years to afford the cheapest single-person glider... Can it be cheaper?"

Yuan Tong shook his head: "To further reduce costs and selling prices, we need to greatly increase production. Because we also have to bear the salaries of the workers and the consumption of research and development, and the initial investment is also huge."

Qian Su couldn't help but interrupt: "Hey, we are doing business anyway, how can we do it without making money? Also, have some confidence in our gliders, okay? There is no need to worry about selling this thing at all."

She said to Zhou Yi: "Chairman, I think everyone has entered a misunderstanding."

"This glider is obviously a military vehicle... Think about it, even if it is sold to ordinary people, most people dare to fly over the Dead Sea? They dare not. Flying on the ground requires supporting facilities, and civilians cannot do it themselves."

"But the territorial sea lords of each city need this thing very much. Because the air has the best view, you can see every move on the ground at any time in the sky, and you can also monitor the movements of the surrounding Dead Sea."

"In order to maintain stable rule, the territorial sea lords will never be stingy with this expenditure. They will further support more things, such as aprons, flight channels at different heights, and even subsequent new gliders... and then the soil for civilian gliders will be cultivated."

"First military, then popular civilian, the order is like this, you are all thinking crookedly."

Yuan Tong and A Feng's eyes lit up.

"That's right."

"Makes sense!"

Zhou Yi thought of this, the several territorial sea lords of the Development Alliance are paying attention to gliders, and Sha Haigong was very actively inquiring just now.

So he decided on the spot: "Let's set the price according to this."

In the next few days, Yuan Tong and Sha Haigong completed the follow-up details negotiation and started the upstream and downstream cooperative production model of gliders.

The output speed of gliders has also increased to 2 per day, and the first batch of 10 single-person gliders were sold to Steel Refining City and Shell City within the alliance.

Gliders began to soar frequently over the Sha Gang area.

...

The company's high-speed development in the face of adversity also made the several territorial sea lords of the alliance extremely envious, and they all wanted to send people over to learn, and Zhou Yi readily agreed.

These people included Wang Jun from Steel Refining City, who invented the second-generation refrigeration box, Bei Chengyi from Shell City who was sent to Mushroom Forest to study, and Sha Ziliang and Ma Rui from Sha Gang City who were sent to the manufacturing department for further study.

Recently, Zhou Yi's favorite invention is "Warrior Crab Adventure", which he and Shi Gandang created together.

Shi Gandang and Emerald City are creating alien characters based on ancient hieroglyphs.

Zhou Yi suggested that the interaction process be made simpler and more entertaining, and directly use the projected warrior crab to create an adventure story.

The story does not need to be complicated. The warrior crab is selected as the protagonist, who goes all the way to fight monsters, find treasures, upgrade, and meet friends from all walks of life.

This makes it easier to be accepted and liked by more people.

Through animated films, the evolution path of warrior crabs can be displayed, and various types of photonanos can be popularized to residents and employees.

In addition, a rune will be obtained for each victory in battle.

The rune is actually a part of the alien text that has been determined.

The latest novels are first published on 69shuba.!

For example, the word "fire" shows the form of a flame attack.

The word "water" will bring about the effect of flooding.

These are subtle teachings and education.

The script was written by Zhou Yi himself.

He pieced together the plots of various games he had played, which was enough to attract the New Humans.

The effect was better than expected.

The children were the most fascinated. Every other day, they gathered on the four projection walls around Building 8 to wait for the broadcast.

Young people and parents also joined in. They quickly completed the path of [resistance to watching → reluctantly taking a look → integrating into the group → loyal audience].

After all, entertainment in the wasteland era is really scarce.

People's positive feedback and love for the projection, as well as the surrounding of Building 8, made its projection intensity increase rapidly. It successively installed 12 supporting light seals, but later came from behind, and its growth rate far exceeded other high-rise brothers.

"8 says it is very confident."

Emerald City said: "It wants to use projection to talk to various life forms outside, and it wants to rewrite the history that building life cannot speak."

In the rapidly developing and changing environment, Rolls-Royce left quietly.

...

It was another ordinary summer day.

Zhou Yi drank iced cola, ate locally produced sweet potato chips, and watched the latest "Warrior Crab Adventure" with the residents.

The Kestrel flew to his side: "Zhou, the cold storage from the weapon hunter has been delivered to Yalong Bay."

He rushed to Yalong Bay immediately.

The size of the cold storage was much smaller than Zhou Yi expected. It was about 15 meters long, 8 meters wide, and 6 meters high. The outside was also wrapped with a thick outer wall of brick and stone, and the appearance was intact.

A bald young man stood next to the cold storage.

He lowered his head politely with a deep scar on the corner of his mouth and said: "Mr. Zhou, I am very honored to meet you. Your name is now known to everyone."

"I am Fang Qiao, and I brought this cold storage here. It is now out of order and does not refrigerate."

Under the alert perspective, Fang Qiao's body radiated red light, which was indeed B-level intensity.

Zhou Yi didn't waste any time: "I'll check it first."

He put his hand on the outer wall of the cold storage.

Energy input.

Consciousness synchronization.

"Can you hear me? Cold storage?"

No response.

He could hear some rustling strange noises, accompanied by ear-piercing scratching sounds and strange buzzing.

This reminded Zhou Yi of the water plant dormitory in United City - this was more serious than that, and there was no formed information.

"The consciousness body may be severely damaged."

Zhou Yi asked: "Can it walk on its own?"

"It can't anymore. So we installed a mobile device at the bottom of it."

Zhou Yi then noticed that there were many wheels under the cold storage.

He summoned Emerald City to come over and let Shi Gandang conduct a test and inspection.

The electromechanical expert came to a conclusion.

"Chairman, it has been completely corrupted, a large number of consciousness bodies are collapsing, and it is about to explode!!!"

"Atmospheric creatures will be born after the explosion! Just like the experimental angel back then, we have to send it to a safe place quickly!"

Zhou Yi looked at Fang Qiao with cold eyes.

Fang Qiao was stunned: "What's wrong? Is the problem serious?"

"It could explode at any time."

Fang Qiao's face instantly turned extremely ugly.

"This... how could this happen..."
