Chapter 1402 Change direction and head towards the unknown!
Thanks to not being affected by the decisive battle between humans and aliens at the end of the year.
In just half a year, Longqi's development progress has been unusually rapid. The progress in basic industries is even much faster than the development of combat capabilities. Its level can basically equal the level of the wasteland world in about four years.
In this prosperous land, the foundation for rebuilding industry has been firmly laid.
Factory buildings of various sizes have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. They not only form the core of the territory's industrial system, but also provide hundreds of millions of jobs and bring a stable source of income to local survivors.
Every day, these busy factories produce a massive amount of industrial products, ranging from sophisticated machinery and equipment to daily necessities.
The emergence of these industrial products not only meets the basic living needs of the residents of the territory, but also injects continuous vitality into the economic development around the territory.
They are like a powerful driving force, pushing the Dragon Banner territory forward.
What's even more rare is that the early development of Longqi territory also brought an unexpected harvest.
Many basic talents who should have been eliminated in wars and accidents survived. After being gathered by Longqi, their development speed was invisibly increased, and the effect of one plus one was far greater than two.
As long as there are no disasters, the current development speed may be much faster than that of the 1970s and 1980s.
However, beneath all these luxuriant flowers, there are also many big thunders that could explode at any time.
Although the development progress of the Dragon Banner Territory is amazing and has equaled the level of the Wasteland in about four years, sometimes too fast development is not necessarily a good thing.
For example, the current external environment has not been able to keep up with the development pace of the Longqi territory. Other small and medium-sized territories around Longqi are still stuck at the normal level of two years, which makes it impossible for them to consume the output of a huge industrial body.
Massive industrial products.
To give a specific example, the factories in Longqi Territory are running day and night, and indeed produce a variety 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 perilous, a sharp weapon or a bag of sufficient food is far more valuable than
A beautiful set of tableware or a comfortable piece of clothing is more practical and precious.
This imbalance between supply and demand has undoubtedly brought huge pressure to the Longqi territory.
Industrial products are unsaleable, resources are wasted, and economic circulation is blocked. This series of problems is like an undercurrent that may erupt at any time, bringing an unprecedented crisis to the current prosperous development.
The emergence of energy issues has intensified the extremes of this process.
Long Anguo knew very well that once the first factory stopped production and closed down due to lack of demand, the workers inside lost their source of income and were forced to return to their previous state of survival.
Then under the chain reaction, the entire Longqi will fall into a vicious circle.
The factory closed down, leaving workers with no income.
Workers' confidence in the future has decreased, further shrinking domestic demand.
With no domestic demand and unclear external demand, more factories closed down.
The prosperity built now may completely fall apart in just a few months.
Of course, exporting various thermal weapons that survivors are in urgent need of is indeed the best way to make money in a short period of time.
But Long Anguo did not want to lift the order banning foreign sales of weapons until it was absolutely necessary, or even at the last moment.
This is a Pandora's box, and the three Yu family territories are trying not to open the box.
Long Anguo, Frutos, and Kanekilov, as well as the think tanks behind them, all know that at the moment when large and small territories have just been established, the survivors are far from solving material problems.
If these people can easily obtain a batch of powerful weapons, they will never continue to develop peacefully, but will instantly point their guns at their own people!
How do you say that sentence?
When my neighbors stock up on food, I stock up on guns, and my neighbors are my granaries.
Looting between territories, killings among survivors, and rapid deterioration of the environment will all begin quickly after the flow of firepower and weapons.
Perhaps even without the intervention of foreign races, the civil war among humans can consume half of them.
And once the war starts, the industrial products needed for daily life will not be favored by the survivors. Everyone will only increase the demand for weapons without limit until the winner is finally determined, or the remaining resources are enough to be divided up.
"The gap is too big. Once it enters the dry season, there is no way to solve it."
Long Anguo flipped through the report page after page, his eyes revealing deep thoughts.
The personnel responsible for this investigation and the members of the think tank have undoubtedly devoted 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 halt the pace of factory and industrial expansion.
It suggested that Longqi should stabilize the current development situation and temporarily slow down its pace in order to find more suitable solutions.
However, as soon as this suggestion appeared in Long Anguo's mind, he quickly rejected it.
He knew very well that today's Longqi was like a train that had started at high speed and was speeding along an unknown track.
On this journey full of unknowns and challenges, it is never easy to stop or slow down.
What's more, such a move is likely to bring about a series of unforeseen consequences. Longqi's rapid development has turned it into a huge system, and every slight change may cause an overall shock.
In addition to the recommendation to stop expansion, the report also mentioned another strategy: optimizing the existing industrial structure and improving production efficiency and quality.
This suggestion advocates conducting in-depth analysis and evaluation of Longqi's current industry, identifying those links that are inefficient and weakly competitive, and making corresponding improvements and optimizations.
In this way, Longcheer can not only maintain its current development speed, but also further enhance its competitiveness and market position.
However, it is still just talk on paper, and it is still applying the solutions to similar problems encountered in modern development.
At present, the fundamental problems encountered by Longqi are only two aspects:
Domestic demand is insufficient and external demand is stagnant.
Any solution other than directly addressing these two points is just scratching the surface.
At this moment, 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 is already 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 have been enforcing confidentiality regulations all year round and cannot communicate with the outside world.
Finally, it was sorted and bagged and submitted to Long Anguo and the think tank.
It can be said that before Long Anguo opened the sealed bag, no one in the Long Banner territory knew exactly what was said.
"Tianyuan?"
Long Anguo quickly put out his cigarette butt and threw the information in his hand aside.
But before he could open the sealed bag, there were seven or eight figures coming to the door. It seemed that they were all here for the information in the sealed bag.
"Everyone is so worried. How come you are not so concerned about the communication between the Golden Eagle and the Northern Territory?"
Seeing everyone walking in anxiously, Long Anguo frowned slightly and said angrily.
When a group of people heard this, a trace of helplessness appeared on their faces.
"Lord, those two territories can't help us solve the problem, why are you so concerned?"
"We can't solve our own problems by ourselves, but Tianyuan says he 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 Yusan family claims to be helping each other, but in fact they are secretly competing with each other.
If anyone can solve the current problems, it will not be a problem to secure the top spot in the next few years.
"Since you are all here, let's watch together. Xiao Zhou will go and call the rest of the people over."
"It's not too late."
Long Anguo raised his wrist, it was only around three o'clock in the morning, no one would sleep at such an early hour.
I usually stay up until five or six in the morning to have breakfast, and then give the order to gather and organize in the evening, and then go to sleep for two or three hours.
After waking up and confirming again that there is no problem, I will catch up on my sleep until the afternoon and continue working until the early morning of the next day.
Sure enough, within ten minutes, the conference room was filled with people.
After hearing the letters from Tian Yuan, everyone felt as if they had been given a shot of blood, and there was no trace of fatigue at all.
"Quiet, you still understand the confidentiality regulations in the past, right?"
"It's clear. Lord, hurry up and dismantle it. We'll wait and see."
"What's the rush?"
As Long Anguo said this, he quickly opened the seal on the sealed bag.
There were seven or eight pieces of paper in the bag, which contained a lot of information. Long Anguo couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, feeling secretly happy.
Open the bag and pull out the top piece of paper.
‘Change the direction of development, use the development route as the basis, and reshape the future of human wasteland’
"this"
Long Anguo frowned habitually, subconsciously thinking that the tone of his words was really too loud, but when he thought it was Tian Yuan's letter, he read it carefully.
Then, his expression seemed to change, changing back and forth from other people's perspectives.
One moment he frowned in thought, the other moment he was in awe, and the next moment he shook his head in anger. In short, two words: complicated!
"Lord, what does it say?"
"Don't make any noise, aren't I watching?"
Long Anguo read it once and felt that he didn't seem to grasp the key points, so he continued to read it a second time.
This information from Tianyuan was unexpectedly written by Soma.
In other words, this is not an exchange between the two territories, but Soma's own intention.
stated in the letter.
Simply following the old path to develop old industries will not be able to change the current predicament faced by mankind in the wasteland, nor will it be able to cope with possible changes (especially disasters) that may occur in the future.
We should follow the current public will and use the development route as one of the supplementary means to expand domestic demand.
Externally, the first task should be to formulate rules and constraints, establish a complete supervision mechanism, and appropriately relax demand, so that quantitative external demand can be restored.
Domestic demand, external demand!
Seeing these two terms again, Long Anguo couldn't help being surprised.
Could it be that Sumo has guessed the current dilemma Long Qi is facing?
"You all come and take a look. Don't say anything after watching. Think about it carefully before discussing."
After recording a few keywords in a notebook, Long Anguo handed over the information and began to circulate it among the crowd for reading.
They are all smart people, and everyone clearly understands the issues cryptically pointed out in the letter.
But despite what Long Anguo said, after seeing the content of the information, a group of people couldn't help but discuss it in low voices.
And it was very obvious that the discussion group immediately divided into three groups.
In fact, before seeing this letter, there were already three different views within the Long Banner territory on whether the old path of science and technology should be followed.
The first type of people are firm reformers.
These people believe that even if the development of science and technology is restored to the modern level, it is far from being able to solve the current dilemma, especially in the face of mysterious games and natural disasters, human technology seems so pale and powerless.
Otherwise, there would be no need to urgently build shelters for all humans to hide in before the asteroid hits.
Therefore, they advocate that human beings should now turn to in-depth study of alien races, analyze the mysterious power of routes, and strive to master the second different power to spread risks.
The second type of people, on the other hand, are equally firm conservatives.
They firmly believe that the alien race's approach will not work, otherwise they would not be thrown into this wasteland by the game to suffer.
And that mysterious route ability is given by the game. Even if it is developed, no matter what the result is, whether the game wants to take it back or not is not a matter of time.
For example, this time's old and new activities have fully proved that the game still has the ability to wipe out human beings and take back the route.
Developing these non-human powers is tantamount to digging your own grave.
As for the third group of people, they are not neutralists who believe that both sides are reasonable, but fusionists who also firmly believe in their own beliefs.
They argued that the territory should not pin all its hopes in one direction, but should develop both forces at the same time
Technology and routes are needed, and they can complement each other's weaknesses. Only when technology and routes go hand in hand can real prosperity and stability be brought to the Long Banner territory.
As time goes by, the quarrels between the three factions have never stopped. Everyone has his own opinions and reasons, and no one can 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 turned out to be a conservative. In the past, if other people dared to talk about giving up big industry, they would definitely get a bloody blow from him.
But when the speaker was Sumo, his firm belief couldn't help but be shaken.
