Chapter 1066: Large Infrastructure Version, Preparation for War!

Red light flickered.

As the Metal Sigh disaster officially began, the strange red moonlight seemed to be breathing, and the frequency was getting faster and faster.

Creak.

Creak.

Without seeing what changes had taken place in the environment, the various metal objects piled up in the center of the square began to make spontaneous noises.

Visible to the naked eye, countless rust spots began to appear on the silver-white surface of the farm tools, which made people's scalps numb.

It took less than two minutes to form a whole piece of black rust.

"Damn, this is too scary!"

During the metal decay process, some white corrosive gases evaporated.

It looked very creepy under the reflection of the red light.

And this aging speed of up to a thousand times is definitely not a simple multiplication operation. Under the superposition of multiples, the metal has shown a strange change trend.

It doesn't seem to be aging, but more like

sigh!

Countless lamentations were connected together, and they could be heard hundreds of meters away, like the sound of an old tractor starting.

Soon, the metals that were made into various styles aged to a critical point and began to enter the deformation stage.

A powerful series hoe.

The metal attached to the wooden pole began to fall off, rolling to the ground as if it had lost tension and forming a small black ball.

A gentleman series rifle.

The gun body made of metal has been twisted into a twist, and the barrel has naturally merged together to become an iron rod.

Boom.

Continuous noises began to come from the end of the sky, and the earth began to shake.

Looking up at the starry sky, the sky suddenly became bright.

A series of fiery red meteors drew beautiful curves in the red night sky and flew to the horizon.

One of them fell exactly in the Tianyuan territory and hit a newly opened plantation hard.

The fierce flames burned, and the night was instantly bright.

"Another new building has come?"

There were only more than ten days left before the black building was opened. Seeing the meteor falling, everyone subconsciously had this thought.

Even Su Mo was a little surprised and hurriedly led people to the edge of the big pit.

However, when we got closer, we could see what the falling object was.

In the earth pit that was smashed out more than ten meters, a black and gray sphere with a diameter of about one meter was creaking and constantly deforming.

On the outermost layer of the sphere, there were still some white painted words that had not been erased.

Is this

"Enterprise Satellite?"

I learned a lot of news about the enterprise from Bernie a few days ago.

Now when I really saw the "triangle" symbol representing the enterprise appear in front of me, Su Mo understood why the game had to strengthen the intensity of the metal aging disaster.

It has only been a short time, and the enterprise has actually launched a satellite into the sky of the wasteland and wants to open the small map to play the game.

This progress, no wonder the game can't stand it.

"I suddenly have a feeling that this wave will at least make the civilization of the Blue Star people regress fifty years!"

"Especially those mole guys, they want to continue to hide underground. It won't work."

Standing in front of the burning pit, looking at the meteors scattered in the sky and the explosions that have not stopped yet.

Chen Shen said eagerly.

Su Mo also touched his chin with his right hand, his face full of surprise.

This battle was much bigger than the one in the future ruins, and it directly ruined the efforts of the natives of Blue Star for nearly half a year.

However, for the human players who are about to land on the new continent, it is a good news.

In the next month, at least there is no need to worry about the outbreak of large-scale battles.

And when the disaster is over, all forces will regain the ability to manufacture firepower weapons, and there will be at least three months of gap in between.

"Disperse, don't worry about the impact of this disaster for the time being."

After the meteors in the sky fell one after another, the movement from afar began to subside.

After instructing the guards to temporarily impose martial law near the satellite, Su Mo yawned and returned to the room in the dungeon.

The neighbors next door didn't make a big mess even with firepower weapons, and now it's even more difficult.

Perhaps those wanderers will take this opportunity to become more arrogant to the shelter in the southern suburbs.

But the Western Suburbs Alliance.

Don't worry, those guys won't dare to do it even if they are given a hundred courage.

Everyone knows that Hunter Tiger has a team of mutants, and those guys are simply a bug in cold weapon combat.

Of course, Su Mo also thought about taking advantage of the temporary failure of hot weapons to gather allies to take revenge on the Qinggang Shelter.

But after thinking about it, he finally chose to suppress this bold idea temporarily.

First, a large number of human players are about to migrate to the New World. Starting a war at this juncture is not conducive to the territory's recruitment of players.

It is very likely that the refugees found that there was no peace here from a distance, so they chose to go directly to other places.

Second, because the Qinggang Shelter has not yet shown its full strength, it is absolutely a stupid decision to rashly start a war without knowing the opponent's trump card.

If the opponent cannot be completely destroyed and conquered at once, then the war will only continue endlessly.

This is completely inconsistent with the survival and development concept of the wasteland.

In addition, although the Tianyuan Army soldiers in the territory have undergone several rounds of expansion, the scale is only barely over 300.

Even if all the guards are fully attacked, there are only about a thousand people.

Not enough, not enough at all.

There are tens of thousands of wanderers on the other side. If you want to fight head-on with cold weapons, you need at least a team of nearly ten thousand soldiers.

"Fortunately, we will be able to expand our staff soon, so we don't need to be short of manpower for everything."

In order to train a group of life-type players to the battlefield, it is better to imitate the signs of Sunny Harbor Sanctuary and imitate some wanderers.

According to the news from the Desolate Bone Village, the hundreds of homeless people who were previously captured have become extremely well-behaved recently.

Although these people cannot be expected to live and die for the territory, they can always be sent to perform tasks on some insignificant battlefields.

Sitting on the bedside, Sumo drank an unpacked soda while opening the game interface and browsing the world channel to see the extent of the impact of disasters in other places.

It's quite different from what I imagined. The aging of metal has really caused a lot of trouble, but it can be said to be a real threat.

That's really not much.

On the contrary, the individual players cheered for this, saying that the next journey to the New World would be more peaceful and they would not have to worry about those damn pirate attacks.

With this information in hand, Sumo turned off the panel and called up Zero to take a look at the recent developments.

In the past time, the large amount of food supplies accumulated in the territory has been enough to cover the expenses of 100,000 people for a year.

The residents' per capita material accumulation also increased simultaneously to thirty-seven days.

Of course, this number does not mean that everyone has exchanged materials, but the value of currency accumulated in their hands.

The average cost per capita is about 30 copper coins, which is still a healthy value.

At first, Sumo was a little worried that the gap between the rich and the poor between the old residents and the new residents was too high, which would allow some people to control the means of production, withdraw from the production ranks and become the rentier class, becoming worms in the territory.

But recently, he has clearly discovered that residents do not seem to be saving money as quickly as expected.

The reasons for this phenomenon are complex.

On the one hand, part of the income is consumed by eating, drinking, and eating every day, causing all the money earned to flow back into the village to form a cycle, or the money earned by resident A falls into the pocket of resident B, and only a small part of it will fall into the pocket of resident B. The market circulates.

On the other hand, most of the current bulk business is in Sumo's own hands, such as the foreign trade goods exported to Pingtan and Jucheng, such as the output of several large factories, and all the money earned goes into his pocket.

It is no exaggeration to say that the sum of money in Somo's own accounts is definitely higher than the income of all residents.

Most of the money circulated several times and eventually ended up with him as the lord.

But this model happens to be the healthiest way at this stage.

Such as the money-burning military industry, or some basic industries, and very forward-looking factories like the underworld.

It is definitely not feasible to expect villagers to raise funds for investment. They do not have such a high ability to resist risks.

When the money comes to Sumo, he will use it to invest in various basic livelihood facilities to support the territory.

This method just forms a cycle, which is somewhat similar to the practice of supporting "pot" enterprises on earth.

However, it is unrealistic to expect that this method can solve all problems as the population increases.

With the improvement of various basic production industries, if you don't want to find a way to solve it in advance.

As the population increases, the money in residents' pockets will inevitably lead to an increase in the prices of some in-demand commodities.

For example, if the daily output of the best-selling Dali series of agricultural tools is only a hundred, there are a thousand people in need.

If the territory does not implement regulation, price increases will definitely happen.

In economics terms, this is called "squeeze hyperinflation."

The solution is also very simple, and methods are given in various economics books.

The most straightforward thing is to build a "reservoir".

Put the excess resources in the hands of all residents to ensure that everyone's economic level is similar.

If you don’t have any money in your hands, there is no possibility of hyperinflation.

"Is there anything in the wasteland that everyone is willing to pay for?"

Sumo fell into deep thought.

He immediately thought of selling the house the old-fashioned way, but after thinking about it carefully, the possibility of this method being successful was slim.

Dungeon rooms are not so popular anywhere.

Prices are too high and residents prefer to make do by living in allocated communal rooms.

After all, no one knows if a disaster is coming and the house they worked so hard to buy will collapse into ruins.

Well, actually there is something wrong with saying that.

An independent house is still an urgent need for residents, but the problem still lies in the acute issue of pricing.

Somo needs a gentle way to digest residents' labor surplus and ensure fair distribution of resources.

“It seems we can only continue to increase investment in infrastructure!”

When things go wrong, infrastructure opens the way.

Not only will it create a large number of jobs, it will also stimulate domestic demand to flourish.

As long as there are more places to spend money, the speed at which residents accumulate resources will always slow down.

And as long as the territory can continue to expand and radiate to more and more places, there will always be more channels to spend money.

Public facilities, medical buildings, basic education

After clarifying his thoughts, Sumo suddenly became energetic and picked up the notebook on the bedside to type out.

[Tianyuan Territory Version 0: Big Infrastructure! 】

[Changes: The goal is to look at the entire territory, strive to build and develop at least six villages within half a year, strive to build Hope Village to a town-level scale, and divert residents to different collective groups to create competition, so as to accelerate infrastructure]

[Changes: Increase infrastructure investment, accelerate the development of basic science and technology, and strive to restore the living standard to the modern level as soon as possible]

[Changes: Resource differentiation, it is necessary to cultivate the business environment within the territory and form a good business cycle]

[Changes: Independent Tianyuan Army, exclusive to Tianyuan Dungeon, expand the recruitment scale to 3,000 people]

[Changes: Gather more Blue Star humans, transfer low-end industries, and leave more time to train players]

[Changes: Open up trade routes, short-term goals: around the territory; long-term goals: Enterprise Hu Lai City. ]

[Changes:]

No matter if it is right or not, Su Mo chose to write down everything he could think of for the time being.

The specific details of the changes can be modified slowly, they are all minor problems, and he still has a lot of time left.

For the last one, Su Mo hesitated and finally added four words.

War preparation.

This is an inevitable part of wasteland development, and it is also a necessary thing for territory expansion.

If you want to accommodate hundreds of thousands of people, millions of people, you must at least develop to the size of Tianyuan territory in the future ruins.

Otherwise, there will not be enough land to grow crops, and there will not be enough strategic depth to ensure safety.

All infrastructure may be destroyed by a dispute that may break out at any time.

"Manpower, I still need more manpower to help me complete these things, otherwise it will be too difficult to rely on myself alone."

The plan became more and more ambitious, and Su Mo felt more and more difficult.

To be honest, who would have thought that he was still studying how to survive a year ago, but now he has to look at the wasteland dispute.

To be fair, Su Mo still prefers farming.

Watching the increasing supplies in the warehouse, watching the technology tree climb higher and higher, and watching the houses in the territory rise from the ground.

Life quickly returned to the modern level, and even developed to a higher level.

These are what he likes.

But there is no way, who makes this a wasteland.

If you don't advance, you will retreat.

Not to mention the natives of Blue Star, the continuous introduction of various disaster games alone has determined that the wasteland cannot be peaceful.

And as the game goes on for longer and longer, the threats will only increase.

"The metal aging disaster will last for a month, which means that everyone will return to the same starting line."

"Of course, the speed of territory recovery is definitely not as fast as those big forces on Blue Star, and not as fast as the Hulai City of the enterprise."

"But it doesn't matter, there will be many more disasters and opportunities in the future, and there will always be a time to catch up."

"The biggest enemy now is actually the Qinggang Shelter!"

With a firm goal, Su Mo's thinking became clearer.

The biggest destabilizing factor in Qinggang City is the troublemaker Qinggang Shelter.

If Tianyuan Territory wants to gain a foothold in this land in the future, one of the two sides must bow down.

And it is highly likely that the difference in strength will not be determined until the gap in strength is obvious.

Su Mo can already see that with the continuous development of the Western Suburbs Alliance, Qinggang Shelter will definitely have a time when it can't help it.

When they feel that the threat is irreconcilable, the war between the two sides will break out completely.

"We must start planning in advance to eliminate the damage and threats caused by the outbreak of war."

"Since the two sides will confront each other sooner or later, retreating will only put us under more pressure."

"Infrastructure must be developed, and military force must not be left behind!"
