Chapter 644 The Flames of War Spread
Land Bridge?
Zhang Hao was shocked by this crazy plan. Although I have gradually integrated into the world of practice, and I have begun to get used to thinking about many things from the perspective of practice, I still don't have the brains of the local staff.
Zhang Yueshan proposed the Dayang Group's control and development strategy for the South and Taotuzhou, which is: Land Bridge!
You must know that the Dayang Group is in the Fertile Continent in the north, while the territory of the Three Kingdoms in the South is in the Territory Continent. The straight-line distance between the two is 12,000 kilometers at the nearest point and more than 15,000 kilometers at the farthest point.
It is extremely difficult to control such a long distance.
There have also been a lot of discussions within Dayang Group. Among them, the most common opinion is to relocate the headquarters of Dayang Group to Taotu Island, leaving only the office here in Ninghe County.
But Zhang Hao disagreed. Because the future development of the Dayang Group will inevitably become larger, so is it impossible to move repeatedly?
Moreover, Ninghe County is the root of Dayang Group after all. There is a complete industrial base here, and Qixia Country has a complete market. Migrating casually may cause Dayang Group to completely lose these advantages, and the loss will be very heavy.
And the emergence of aircraft in the future will greatly eliminate this effect. In addition, Dayang Group is also trying to start from Liuli Island, where there is a teleportation array. However, there are still many difficulties for the time being. The main reason is that the current Liuli Island has become unfamiliar.
But the proposal of the 'Continental Bridge' made Zhang Hao's eyes brighten.
Yes, I still have the memory and influence of the earth age, but I forgot that this is the world of practice, and there are too many things that can be solved by means of practice.
For example, building a land bridge with a length of tens of thousands of kilometers!
Zhang Yueshan's plan is very detailed. Using steel and cement, coupled with the means of the transformation of the gods, directly build bridge piers like iron towers in the sea, and even simply build islands on the sea.
The safety of the bridge is in charge of the Shark and King Silver Horn. Now the merman already has quite a few masters at the level of transforming gods, and they have already turned the sea between the Fertile Earth Continent and the Tall Earth Continent, west of the Black Scale Island, into half an inland sea.
In addition, Dayang Group's engineering technology is also sufficient.
In other words, if the land bridge is to be built now, both the technology and the foundation are already mature.
Zhang Hao picked up the document and turned to look at the map on the wall.
Going directly south from Ninghe County, where the Dayang Group is located, corresponds to the junction of the west of Xihe State and the northeast of Tianshui State, with a straight-line distance of about 13,500 kilometers.
If it tilts slightly to the east, it corresponds to the northeast direction of Xihe Kingdom, close to Jiangxia Kingdom, and the distance is 12,000 kilometers.
But there is still a shorter distance. The northeast of Jiangxia Kingdom is 1,000 kilometers to Heilin Island; the distance from Heilin Island to the prominent part of Canglan Country in the north is only 500 kilometers. It only adds up to 1500 kilometers!
This is the ideal location for the construction of the land bridge.
However, Zhang Hao looked at the Land of Canglan, then at the Land of Qixia, and then at the Dayang Group, but felt a little helpless.
It is 8,000 kilometers from Dayang Group to the protruding part of the Land of Canglan, passing through an important area in the south of the Land of Qixia, which is the mouth of the Jinjiang River and the South Sea Port. It is impossible for Qixia Country to sell these places.
It is impossible for Dayang Group's own ruling area to rule beyond Qixia Country and Canglan Country.
From this point of view, the current land bridge project is the only solution.
As long as the land bridge is built, as long as high-speed trains and fast cars are used in large numbers, the distance of 12,000 kilometers can be shortened to two days by car.
And relying on the quality of the practitioner and the help of spells, the speed of the vehicle may be further increased, for example... 500 kilometers per hour, or even higher.
After Zhang Hao made some calculations, he already had a decision in his mind.
This land bridge needs to be built! And build it well enough! And as soon as possible!
It will not only be the link between Dayang Group's north and south, but also the accumulation and improvement of Dayang Group's technology, laying the foundation for Dayang Group's future development. In this world of practice, only madness can succeed!
But this matter is too big, Zhang Hao had to convene a board of directors to do preliminary discussions first. This time the board of directors naturally also called the party Zhang Yueshan. In addition, there are technical directors of Dayang Group, such as Huang Mingshan and others.
On the board of directors, the minds of Dayang Group were a little surprised, but soon everyone made the same decision-this main artery must be built! If the Dayang Group wants to control the huge land in the south, this main artery cannot be avoided.
On the board of directors, everyone put forward further opinions. Relying on the land bridge, gradually establish the second center of Dayang Group in the south to prepare for the migration. Even if you don't migrate, you can still serve as a 'accompanying capital'. Well, as a group, it cannot be said to be the "accompanying capital", it can be said to be the Southern Regional Headquarters.
The plan is approved, and then there is the funding.
"In this plan, there is no investment plan." Bai Yutang said.
Zhang Yueshan said: "For the time being, I just demonstrated the feasibility from a technical point of view. The specific construction investment needs actual testing.
Our experience in building railways and bridges on land is not suitable for the sea.
First of all, the depth of the sea, the seabed conditions, etc., all need to be checked. This requires a lot of time to transform into a god.
Secondly, the land bridge we want to build must be strong enough and wide enough. When necessary, a small city on the sea will be built at intervals of the land bridge as a transfer station or a service area.
Third, in our plan, the land bridge will have at least three floors. One layer of railway, one layer of road, and one layer reserved for practitioners, which can be regarded as a pedestrian street.
However, I also made a preliminary estimate, and the cost is expected to be ten times that of a bridge on land; and the cost of a bridge on land is ten times that of an ordinary railway. Therefore, the cost per kilometer may be 50,000 top-grade spirit stones. The lowest cost in the whole line is estimated to cost 600 million high-grade spirit stones.
If you calculate the difficulty of large offshore construction, calculate the cost of material transportation, labor costs, etc., especially the equipment for large offshore construction must be redesigned and produced. The overall cost is at least 800 million.
If you want to build service stations, transit bases, etc., the cost will probably exceed 1 billion. "
One billion, high-grade spirit stones, just to build a land bridge?
The land bridge is well planned. But the cost...is not acceptable. Do you know what 1 billion top-grade spirit stones means?
Now the total war consumption of Tianmo Sect and Wusheng Tianluo Sect is less than 800 million high-grade spirit stones. And this has already laid down half of the Territory Continent!
Zhang Hao tapped the table lightly with his fingers, and the crisp echo attracted everyone's attention.
Zhang Hao said slowly: "This plan is very good, but some changes need to be made. For example, how about turning the service station in the middle of the mainland bridge into an industrial base?
We try to mine in the sea, build offshore oil fields, and create an offshore industrial center. Then use the offshore industrial center to feed back the construction of the land bridge.
In this case, the speed may be slower, but as long as the plan is planned, the cost price will be compressed to the limit. "
Everyone's eyes suddenly brightened.
Zhang Hao smiled slightly, "I will hand over this matter to Dayang Group Technology Research Center for investigation and planning. You are allowed to mobilize Yuren, King Yinjiao, and Wangwang to assist.
Remember, be careful with this plan. It is better to be slower than to make mistakes. "
…………
Dayang Group started to get busy again, but Zhang Hao went to the imperial capital of Qixia Kingdom without stopping.
On the one hand, we need to visit Liu Xinyu, and on the other hand, we need to discuss the current situation. Also, the current territory of Dayang Group in Qixia Country is not enough. Zhang Hao wants to buy 'Nanyang County'.
In fact, many industries in Nanyang County have been controlled by Dayang Group, and the power of the country has been squeezed by industry and commerce. It has really become a vulnerable group.
Zhang Hao arrived in the imperial capital the next morning. The Empress has just finished her morning court.
Liu Xinyu seldom goes to court now, but that doesn't mean she won't go to court. Some things always need to be decided by the queen herself.
It is natural for the two to meet with laughter and laughter, but the political responsibilities on the two of them made them quickly enter the political topic.
Zhang Hao made a request to buy Nanyang County. Nanyang County is a bit bigger than Ninghe County; well, quite a bit bigger. Ninghe County has 70,000 square kilometers, while Nanyang County has 100,000 square kilometers.
Liu Xinyu thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Now the Qixia Kingdom is already very big, thanks to the Dayang Group. Nanyang County... I want 200 fairy spirits!"
"No problem!" Zhang Hao agreed casually. In the current Dayang Group, the technology of Faerie Qi has basically matured, and the maximum daily output is about 50 pieces. The internal production capacity of Dayang Group is already in a state of overcapacity. But these things cannot be sold casually, and a lot of them are wasted.
But for the Qixia Kingdom, the spirit energy is still precious. This is what must be used in the true transformation stage, and it is also necessary for excellent supernatural powers.
When Liu Xinyu heard that Zhang Hao agreed so happily, she immediately stopped and acted a little coquettishly, "Now the price has increased, and I want 500. We didn't sign the contract just now, so we can go back on it."
"Five hundred... yes. But tonight, let's change our position."
"Are you really willing?" Liu Xinyu gently stroked her stomach, it has been nine months.
Zhang Hao laughed, and helped Liu Xinyu walk into the gazebo. The two opened the map and began to explain the current war situation.
…………
In Xuanzhen Sect and Zixia Hall, the atmosphere is very oppressive.
Headmaster Hong Xuanzi looked at the map ahead, with a pair of crazy eyes on his tired face.
The situation of the war far exceeded Hong Xuanzi's expectations.
The Xuanzhen Sect... was defeated!
Facing the two-line attack of the Xiaoyao Sect and the Kingdom of Shaoze, the Xuanzhen Sect was defeated shamefully. The south of the country of Tang, which was once the land of the country of Southern Tang, fell again. Of course, in this war, several families in the south of the Tang Kingdom also had their 'credit'.
For their own survival and to express their determination to the Xiaoyao faction, those big families in the south rebelled long ago.
Hong Xuanzi looked at the military map in front of him. This teacher, who had little contact with strategy in the past, could already understand the terrain map of war. Beside, Xuanzhen Sect also has strategic talents, explaining.
This person is Hong Mako, the master of law enforcement. The Law Enforcement Hall can be regarded as the military institution of the Holy Land.
"The country of Taihua, the country of Qingyun, and the country of Canglan are currently the best in the war. Both sides are evenly matched, but the country of Canglan is not the country of Shaoze, nor the country of Qixia, and it is already a little tired.
Although Qingyun Country's industrial foundation is not enough, it has previously accepted a large number of families and masters from Western countries. Although some of them were taken back by Qixia Country, there are still a large number of people left behind.
There is also the country of Taihua. Although there is no port, the industrial foundation of the country of Taihua is not weaker than that of the country of Canglan.
Such a combination of the country of Taihua and the country of Qingyun is enough to defeat the country of Canglan. "
"The situation in the Kingdom of Shaoze is the most complicated. We believe that Nangong Zhi has not yet revealed the true military strength of the Kingdom of Shaoze.
According to my analysis, Nangong Zhi is procrastinating, waiting for us to show our fatigue. Now, maybe it is an opportunity.
Our next step should be to focus on defending Nangong Zhi and the country of Shaoze. "
"Then there is Liuli Island in the north. The outbreak of Liuli Island is a bit unexpected, and our defense in the north is not enough. Fortunately, Liuli's main attack direction so far is Xianyinzong. For the time being, we will focus on defense."
"The last is our main enemy now, the Happy Faction. I think that even if there is no strategic alliance agreement between the Happy Faction and the Kingdom of Shaoze, there is a certain cooperation agreement.
The country of Shaoze needs to break the siege and eliminate the country of Tang. The Xiaoyao faction needs to take back the country of Tang and defeat us. The two are a perfect fit.
But I think that regardless of whether the Happy Faction is a member of the strategic alliance or not, with the end of this war, the Happy Faction who have tasted the sweetness will join the alliance. And the members of the alliance will not let the Xiaoyao faction go.
In other words, in any case, we must put an end to the fluke mentality now. "
As Hong Zhenzi's voice fell, the head teacher Hong Xuanzi rubbed his brows wearily, "Tell me, are some of our initial decisions wrong?
Because of these wrong decisions, we have gradually drifted away from Dayang Group, and we have become strangers to Qixia Country.
Because of these wrong decisions, the country of Shaoze turned against each other and the country of Canglan betrayed. "
The heavy pressure, the failure of the war, coupled with a large number of casualties and low morale, put Hong Xuanzi under unimaginable pressure.
Elder Hong Xiazi spoke slowly, "Brother Master, you don't have to blame yourself. Even I would have made those decisions like that. Besides, we discussed all kinds of plans at the beginning."
Elder Hong Yuanzi also spoke, and he snorted coldly, "Brother Master, it's not your fault. It's the Dayang Group, the Qixia Kingdom, etc. who don't know what to do and are greedy!
They don't think about it, without our support, his Dayang Group and Qixia Kingdom would have long been dead bones!
I think this matter must be discussed clearly with Dayang Group and Qixia Kingdom, they must provide strategic materials and military support for Xuanzhen Sect!
Hong Yunzi, what do you think? "
Hong Yunzi's complexion was not good. He hesitated for a while, then suddenly said: "Maybe, we can dock the fleet at Dayang Group."
