My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely! - Chapter 1432

[1422. Chapter 1402: Change direction and head towards the unknown!]

In just half a year, Longqi’s development progress was unusually rapid, and its progress in basic industries was even much faster than the development of combat capabilities. Its level was basically able to catch up with the wasteland world in about four years.

In this prosperous land, the foundations for rebuilding industry have been firmly laid.

Factories of all sizes have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, not only forming the core of the territory’s industrial system, but also providing hundreds of millions of jobs and bringing a stable source of income to local survivors.

Every day, these busy factories produce a huge amount of industrial products, ranging from precision machinery and equipment to daily necessities.

The emergence of these industrial products not only meets the basic living needs of the territory’s residents, but also injects endless vitality into the economic development of the territory’s surrounding areas.

They are like a powerful force, pushing the Dragon Flag Territory forward.

What is even more rare is that the early development of the Dragon Flag Territory has also brought an unexpected gain.

Many basic talents who should have been eliminated in the war and accidents were able to survive. After being gathered by the Dragon Flag, their development speed was invisibly increased, achieving the effect of one plus one being far greater than two.

As long as there are no disasters, and we only talk about the current development speed, it may be much faster than in the 1970s and 1980s.

However, beneath all these flourishing appearances, there are also many huge bombs hidden that can explode at any time.

Although the Dragon Flag Territory has made amazing progress in development, catching up with the level of the Wasteland about four years ago, sometimes developing too fast is not necessarily a good thing.

For example, the current external environment has not been able to keep up with the pace of development of the Longqi territory. Other small and medium-sized territories around Longqi are still at the normal level of two years, which makes it impossible for them to consume the massive industrial products produced by a huge industrial body.

To give a specific example, the factories in Longqi Territory run day and night, and they do produce all kinds of urgently needed daily necessities, from exquisite ceramic tableware to comfortable clothing, shoes and hats.

However, these products have not been warmly welcomed in the current wasteland world.

Because for most wasteland survivors, their more urgent needs are food and the ability to protect themselves. In a wasteland where resources are scarce and dangers are lurking everywhere, a sharp weapon or a bag of sufficient food is far more practical and precious than a set of beautiful tableware or a comfortable piece of clothing.

This imbalance between supply and demand has undoubtedly brought tremendous pressure to the Longqi Territory.

Industrial products are unsalable, resources are wasted, and economic circulation is obstructed. This series of problems is like an undercurrent that may erupt at any time, bringing unprecedented crisis to the current prosperous development.

The emergence of energy problems has further exacerbated this process.

Long Anguo knew very well that once the first factory could not sustain production and closed down due to lack of demand, the workers inside would lose their source of income and be forced to return to their previous state of survival.

Then, due to the chain reaction, the entire Longqi will fall into a vicious cycle.

Factories closed down, leaving workers without income.

Workers’ reduced confidence in the future has further reduced domestic demand.

Without domestic demand and with unclear external demand, more factories are closing down.

The prosperity that has been built up now may completely fall apart in just a few months.

Of course, exporting various types of hot weapons that the survivors currently urgently need is indeed the best way to make money in a short period of time.

But until it is absolutely necessary, or even until the very last moment, Long Anguo does not want to lift the ban on foreign arms sales.

This is a Pandora’s box, and the three major territories are restraining themselves from opening the box.

Long Anguo, Frutos, Kanekirov and the think tanks behind them all knew very well that at this moment, the territories of all sizes had just been established and the survivors were far from solving the problem of supplies.

If these people were given a batch of powerful weapons easily, they would definitely not continue to develop peacefully, but would instantly point their guns at their own people!
How does that saying go?

My neighbor hoards food and I hoard guns. My neighbor is my granary.

The plundering between territories, the killing among survivors, and the rapid deterioration of the environment will all unfold quickly after firepower weapons are released.

Perhaps there is no need for aliens to take action, as the civil war among humans themselves can wipe out half of the population.

Moreover, once the war begins, industrial products necessary for life will not be favored by the survivors. Everyone will only increase the demand for weapons without limit until a winner is finally determined or the remaining resources are enough to be divided.

“The gap is too big. Once the dry season comes, there is no way to solve it.”

Long Anguo flipped through the report page by page, his eyes revealing deep thought.

The people in charge of the investigation and the members of the think tank have undoubtedly put in a lot of effort, and the recommendations given in the report are detailed and comprehensive.

The first thing that catches the eye is the proposal to stop the pace of factory and industrial expansion.

It suggested that Longcheer should consolidate its current development momentum and slow down temporarily in order to find a more appropriate solution.

However, as soon as this suggestion came into Long Anguo’s mind, he quickly rejected it.

He knew very well that the current Dragon Flag was like a train that had started at high speed and was speeding along an unknown track.

In this journey full of unknowns and challenges, stopping or slowing down is never easy.

What’s more, such a move is likely to bring about a series of unpredictable consequences. The rapid development of Longqi has made it a huge system, and every slight change may cause overall shock.

In addition to the recommendation to stop expansion, the report also mentioned another strategy: optimize the existing industrial structure and improve production efficiency and quality.

This proposal calls for an in-depth analysis and evaluation of Longqi’s current industries, identifying those links with inefficiency and weak competitiveness, and making corresponding improvements and optimizations.

In this way, Longqi can not only maintain its current development speed, but also further enhance its competitiveness and market position.

However, it is still just talk, and we are still applying the solutions to similar problems encountered in modern development.

Currently, Longqi is facing only two fundamental problems:
insufficient domestic demand and stagnant external demand.

Any solution other than addressing these two points directly is just scratching the surface.

Just then, the door of the secret meeting room was knocked from outside.

“Lord Dragon, a letter from Tianyuan.”

He was from the Liaison Department, and the sealed bag in his hand contained the information he had just obtained through the world channel.

As one of the largest territories at present, preventing external leaks has become a normal operation.

The code words transcribed from the world channel will be divided into dozens of paragraphs and handed over to different people for translation, and then integrated by people who are subject to confidentiality regulations and cannot communicate with the outside world all year round.

Finally, they were sorted and bagged and presented to Long Anguo and the think tank.

It can be said that before Long Anguo opened the sealed bag, no one in the Longqi Territory knew what was said specifically.

“Tianyuan?”

Long Anguo quickly put out his cigarette and threw the information in his hand aside.

However, before he could open the sealed bag, seven or eight figures came to the door together, and it seemed that they all came for the information in the sealed bag.

“You are all so anxious. Why don’t you usually take the communication between the Golden Eagle and the North so seriously?”

When the group of people heard this, a trace of helplessness appeared on their faces.

“Lord, those two territories can’t help us solve the problem, so why do you care about them?”

“You can’t even solve your own problems, and you think Tianyuan can help us solve them.”

Long Anguo coughed lightly. Although he thought so in his heart, as a lord he couldn’t express it so directly.

The three great families claimed that they were helping each other, but in fact they were competing against each other in secret.

Whoever can solve the current problems will have no problem maintaining the top spot in the next few years.

“Since you’re all here, let’s watch it together. Xiao Zhou, go get the rest of the people over.”

“It’s not too late at this point.”

Long Anguo raised his wrist. It was only a little past three in the morning and no one would go to bed at such an early time.

I usually stay up until five or six in the morning to have breakfast, and then give the order to assemble and organize in the evening before going to sleep for two or three hours.

After waking up and confirming that everything is fine, I will make up for the sleep in the afternoon and continue working until the early morning of the next day.

Sure enough, in less than ten minutes, the conference room was full of people.

After hearing that the letter was from Tianyuan, everyone seemed to be energized and did not show any sign of fatigue at all.

“Be quiet for a moment. Let’s stick to the usual confidentiality rules. Are you clear?”

“Understood, Lord, please tear it down quickly. We are waiting to see.”

“What’s the hurry?”

As Long Anguo spoke, he quickly opened the seal on the bag.

There were seven or eight pieces of paper in the bag, containing a lot of information, which made Long Anguo raise his eyebrows and secretly rejoice.

Open the bag and pull out the top sheet of paper.

‘Change the direction of development, based on the development route, reshape the future of human wasteland’

“this”

Long Anguo frowned habitually, subconsciously thinking that the tone of the speech was really too loud, but when he remembered that it was a letter from Tianyuan, he read it carefully again.

Then, his expression seemed to change, back and forth in the eyes of others.

Sometimes he frowned in thought, sometimes he clapped his hands in applause, sometimes he shook his head in anger. In short, two words: complicated!

“Lord, what does it say?”

“Don’t make any noise, I’m watching this now, right?”

Long Anguo read it once, but felt that he did not seem to grasp the main point, so he continued to read it a second time.

This information from Tianyuan was rarely written by Soma.

In other words, this was not a communication between the two territories, but the intention of Soma himself.

The letter stated.

Simply following the old path and developing old industries cannot change the current predicament faced by humans in the wasteland, nor will it be able to cope with possible changes (especially disasters) in the future.

We should follow the current public wishes and use the development route as one of the supplementary means to expand domestic demand.

Externally, the primary task should be to formulate rules and constraints, establish a complete supervision mechanism, and appropriately relax demand in order to restore quantitative external demand.

Domestic demand, foreign demand!

Seeing these two terms again, Long Anguo couldn’t help but be shocked.

Could it be that Su Mo has already guessed the predicament that Dragon Flag is facing right now?
“Come and take a look. Don’t talk after you finish looking. Think carefully before discussing.”

After writing down a few key words in a notebook, Long Anguo handed out the information and began passing it around among the crowd for reading.

We are all smart people, and we all understand clearly the issues implicitly mentioned in the letter.

But even though Long Anguo said this, after seeing the content of the information, a group of people couldn’t help but discuss it in a low voice.

And it was very obvious that the discussion group immediately split into three groups.

In fact, before seeing this letter, there were already three different opinions within the Dragon Flag Territory on whether or not to follow the old path of technology.

The first type of people are staunch reformers.

This group of people believes that even if the development of science and technology is restored to the modern level, it is far from enough to solve the current difficulties, especially in the face of the mysterious game and natural disasters, human technology seems so pale and powerless.

Otherwise, there would be no need to build shelters urgently for all humans to hide in before the asteroid hits.

Therefore, they advocate that humans should now turn to in-depth research on alien races, analyze the mysterious route power, and strive to master a second different power in order to diversify risks.

The second type of people, on the other hand, are equally staunch conservatives.

They firmly believe that the alien approach will not work, otherwise they would not have been thrown into this wasteland to suffer by the game.

And that mysterious route ability is granted by the game. Even if it is developed, what will be the result? It is still up to the game to decide whether to take it back or not.

For example, this time’s activity of old players bringing in new players has fully proved that the game still has the ability to wipe out humans and take back routes.

To develop these non-human powers is to dig one’s own grave.

As for the third type of people, they are not neutrals who think both sides have their reasons, but rather fusionists who are equally firm in their beliefs.

They advocated that the territory should not place all its hopes in one direction, but should develop two forces at the same time.

Technology is needed, and routes are also needed. In time, they can complement each other’s disadvantages. Only when technology and routes go hand in hand can they bring real prosperity and stability to the Dragon Flag Territory.

Over time, the quarrels between the three factions never stopped. Everyone held their own arguments and had their own reasons, and no one could convince the other.

But now, the letter in front of everyone seems to be an opportunity to solve this problem.

“Lord Su seems to want us to give up traditional large-scale industrial production?”

Unexpectedly, the first person to speak was a conservative. In the past, if anyone else dared to say that they should give up large-scale industry, he would definitely criticize them.

But when it was Su Mo who spoke, his firm belief could not help but be shaken.
