This Game is Too Real Chapter 753

  Chapter 753 The Current Situation of Potato Fries Port and the Southern Line

   "Wasteland OL" official website.

  【The progress of the "Battle of Heaven" front: Important checkpoints on the northern front have been breached one after another, Shifeng Mountain is under the control of the coalition forces, and the gateway to Haiya Province has been opened!

  The southern battlefield is still in the southern sea area. Players in this area are requested to make persistent efforts. The final reward settlement will be related to the progress of the front!

  Shortly after the announcement on the official website forum was issued, the forum suddenly became lively.

  Irena: "Good guy, it's okay for the dog to plan to remind you. (Funny

  Elf King Fugui: "Other games reduce the strength of equipment to suppress the player's progress. I am afraid that the player's speed of clearing the level is too fast, and the player's strategy speed is too slow. This game is the only one. (Funny

  The mole on the run in the canyon: "Fang Chang, can you do it. (Funny

  Tail: "Dolly: Fang Chang, can you do it! (shy

  Sisi: "Aowei calm down, you are also on the southern line."

  Tail: "Hey! I forgot! °ロ°)!"

  Makabazi: "It's too cool! (Funny

  Feng Qing: "No way, the speed of W-2 is too low, and it can't pass through the near-fire network of the federal destroyer at all. The limit of the old-fashioned propeller aircraft is too obvious. T.T"

   Guigui: "+10086, the southern front urgently needs supersonic fighters!"

  WC really has a lot of mosquitoes: "Hey, that kamikaze is too expensive, you'd better use the propellers first, or I'll get you one without landing gear."

  Feng Qing: "!!"

  GuiGui: "Hey! Are you still human, leader!"

  Irena: "This game is too real. (Funny

  Looking at the complaints in the comment section of the announcement post on the official website, Fang Chang couldn't help but twitched his brows, and finally restrained himself from bubbling.

   This Ah Guang is really a bit unkind.

  The progress of the southern route is slow. Could it be the player's problem?

  As far as the destroyers in the Northern Federation and the archipelago in the southern waters are concerned, if any one of them is pulled into reality, it will be able to hang a group of "concept ships".

   On the other hand, Baiyue Company only has a bunch of modified propeller planes in their hands.

   There is one thing to say, this thing is really good for ground attack, it has the advantages of long time in the air, low cost, and large quantity.

   However, it seems a bit stretched when facing the point defense system with abundant firepower and high-precision guided weapons.

  Especially in naval battles that focus on beyond-visual-range combat, often the opponents are already eyeing them not long after they take off from the airport.

  Of course, the alliance also has its own advantages, such as the army's combat effectiveness and individual equipment are far ahead of the Northern Federation.

  If they can pass through the maritime warning zone of the Federation Fleet and directly land on the Federation's islands, the battle will definitely be much smoother than it is now.

   However, the crux of the problem is that the other party clearly knows this, so the warning sonar and radar are all on standby 24 hours a day, and the patrol boats carrying depth charges are constantly cruising in uninhabited seas.

  Not to mention landing, once it approaches within 100 kilometers, it may encounter a BVR strike.

   Of course, this is true for both parties.

  The Northern Federation is alert to the aircraft and airborne troops of the Alliance, and the Alliance of the Southern Islands is also alert to the "frogmen" forces of the Church of the Torch. Various early warning and beyond-visual-range strike methods are on standby 24 hours a day.

Earlier, several waves of mutants carrying professional underwater combat equipment tried to swim to Anle Island to launch a surprise attack. However, before they even reached Coral City, they were sent away by several depth charges, and the remaining mutants scattered and fled. Then they were buried in the belly of the fish.

   The alien species wandering in the ocean are far more terrifying than those on land, and the species are also more abundant.

   Without the cover of the "boat song", it is impossible for a single mutant to survive in the deep water for more than an hour.

  Be wary of the submarines on Anle Island, and the Federation fleet dare not cross the alert area and go deep into the hinterland of the Southern Islands Alliance.

   It is precisely because of this that the two sides have fallen into a strange state of war.

  It's like two strong men with guns, each leaning against the bunker, with a distance of 50 meters in between, occasionally firing a shot or two towards the opposite side, and then immediately retracting behind the bunker.

  No one can bear the price of a mistake, so no one dares to step out of the bunker to attack.

but-

   This does not mean that the two sides will persist in this way.

  The Southern Islands Alliance is developing an "underwater diving mother" with the support of the alliance to prepare for landing on the North Island.

   And the Northern Federation is obviously also preparing its own trump card with the support of the Church of the Torch.

   Both sides are very clear that this war will not drag on for long. Especially with the recent push of the coalition forces in the north, it is imminent for the Church of the Torch to open up its strategic space to the south.

  Everyone is preparing for the upcoming decisive battle.

  Under such a background, the player's room for manipulation is actually very small.

  Including Fang Chang himself, there seems to be nothing to do except to put more effort into the infrastructure projects in the southern waters and the Baiyue Strait, and use economic and trade means to win over the islands on the alliance side.

   After a simple dinner, Fang Chang went downstairs for a late run, put on his helmet and returned to the line.

   There is a regular meeting at 10:00 am game time at the Governor's Office at Chip Harbor City Hall.

  As the CEO and chairman of Baiyue Company, the governor from Shuguang City will exchange views with him on regional affairs and the next stage of development work, and convey the manager's meaning by the way.

  In fact, it is the governor, but this governor is fundamentally different from the governor of the empire.

  The latter represents the interests and authority of the emperor, which is equivalent to the local incarnation of the emperor, while the former represents the alliance and its constitution.

  From the perspective of rights and obligations, this position is more similar to the role of "city lord" in the alliance.

   That is, on behalf of the alliance center, it exercises the power of supervision over local affairs, is responsible for the daily defense work of the local area, and makes rulings on matters related to the overall interests of the alliance from the standpoint of the alliance.

  As for local specific affairs and the implementation of public power, the city hall or more specific affairs agencies are responsible.

  Only under extremely special circumstances, for example, if the locals do not have a little bit of self-management awareness and foundation, or the alliance needs a place to accommodate such survivors, the city lord or governor will take care of specific local affairs.

  Such as Singularity City.

  If the alliance does not send someone to take care of it, the local survivors can use the alliance's constitution as toilet paper in minutes, and then create a "Red River Alliance" in the local area to sell dog meat.

  As for places like Chip Harbor, the players themselves can develop very well, and the managers are happy to hand over the management to the players and locals themselves, so they just set up a governor's office in the city hall.

  When there is no work, the governor usually just drinks tea and reads a newspaper, then summarizes the local situation and sends a telegram report to the manager, and at the same time gives some instructions to the local institutions based on the manager's feedback...

  If Mr. Manager has any comments.

   At least in the past few months, the managers' responses have been "read".

   Obviously, even the meticulous manager is impeccable in their work results.

  But this time it was different.

  Hearing that the manager rarely gave clear instructions this time, Fang Zhang couldn't help but feel a little curious about the meeting later.

   There is still some time before the meeting, he did not rush to the city hall to report, but took a slow walk in the settlement they built with their own hands.

   Maybe when he walked to the city hall, he would be able to guess what the administrator's instructions were without waiting for the governor from Dawn City to speak.

  Now the time in the game has reached the beginning of August, and the Baiyue Strait, which is the rainy season, is sunny and rainy sometimes.

   Often the sun is shining brightly one second, and the next second there is pouring rain in the sky.

   But the rain is not annoying. The sunny French Fries Harbor is like polished glass, with a refreshing freshness inside and out.

   After several months of development, today's Fries Harbor has begun to take shape.

With the completion of the port, a large amount of cement, steel, bricks and other building materials and construction equipment remained, the port city hall simply signed a document to improve residents' housing, and encouraged local residents to use those hand-built buildings by actively subsidizing them. The single-family log cabin was converted into a three-story small bungalow with a concrete structure.

On the one hand, this is naturally for the city appearance of Potato Chips, and on the other hand, it is to prevent tsunamis and earthquakes. After all, the original wooden houses can only be used as they are, but more are to boost the local economy and put a long line to catch big fish. .

  After all, only when the survivors have their own houses, can they rent out the unused floors, or use the first floor along the street to do some small business or something.

  For the sparsely populated French Fry Port, land can be said to be the least valuable thing.

  It is not only the homes of local survivors that have changed, but also the roads in front of their homes.

  The dirt roads that were muddy when it rained have now been replaced with clean and tidy cement roads.

   When it comes to the cement road, it is also quite particular.

  Due to well-known reasons, the road maintenance cost in the Baiyue Strait is quite high. Strictly speaking, it is not suitable to apply the method of Dawn City to build settlements.

   But not long ago, the research team of the Alliance Institute of Biology, based on the research on the biological samples collected locally and the brood nest in Qingquan City, developed a biomass material called "active cement".

  This material has unique self-healing properties, can absorb energy and nutrients from the biomass on the surface, and maintain the original shape of the "structural material" as the substrate in a physical sense.

  To make a vivid but inappropriate metaphor, the microorganisms attached to the material are like miniature hermit crabs, and the pores of the activated cement are the "shells" on which they live.

  In order to protect their shells, they will actively fight against biological factors that try to destabilize the concrete structure, and use themselves as a binder to maintain the stability of the concrete structure.

  The initiator of this project is Chen Yutong, the director of the Chip Harbor Branch of the Union Institute of Biology.

   It is no exaggeration to say that this amazing technology is equivalent to directly removing the debuff of "industrial and infrastructure cost +900%" in French Fries Port.

This "activated cement" with self-healing properties belongs to the category of living creatures. Not only will it not be eroded by the local flourishing species, but it can even enjoy the bonus of the "luxuriant" buff, thereby reducing road damage. maintenance costs.

  The only fly in the ointment is that this active material requires one more process than traditional cement, whether it is produced or used.

  However, compared to the positive impact of this material, the increased cost is completely negligible.

  Facts have proved that there are more solutions than difficulties.

  With the advancement of technology, things that were originally considered impossible have gradually become possible.

  However, even if the industry-restricting debuff is removed, Fang Chang does not intend to change the local development strategy of "mainly the primary industry, supplemented by the tertiary industry" for the time being, and put the secondary industry at the end.

   After all, the accelerated growth buff is simply too fragrant for crops!

  The same crop can only be produced for one season in Dawn City, but it can be produced for three seasons here without any worries about fertility decline, and it is even more efficient than the production efficiency of Luoxia Province.

  The scale and transportation capacity can't increase now. When the Chips Port develops in the future, it might become a bigger granary than Luoxia Province!

  As for the secondary industry, leave it to Jin Gallon Port to solve the problem.

  Recently, a large number of immigrants have poured into the suburbs of King Gallen Port along the Yongliu River, and the huge young and middle-aged labor force is even faster than the local infrastructure can bear.

   There is no place more suitable for the development of the secondary industry than there.

  Finally, he walked slowly to the gate of the city hall. Fang Chang squinted his eyes and looked at this brick and stone landmark building. He suddenly stopped the NPC who was coming out of the building, and asked with a smile.

   "My friend, where are you from?"

   That person should be a recent immigrant, and he didn't recognize his face. He was stunned for a moment when he heard this inexplicable question, and then he spoke.

   "Silver Moon Bay...what's wrong?"

   Fang Chang continued to ask with a smile.

   "How do you like life in Chip Harbor? Are you happy here?"

  Hearing these words, a look of emotion appeared on the man's face, and he sincerely praised.

   "It's a good place, I don't know how to rate it other than that... But I'm sure, if there is a heaven, it must be like this."

  There is no king, no aristocrat, and no priest to support. As long as he works hard, he can get rich. This is what he is most satisfied with.

  Of course, what fascinates him the most is the bar on the coastal street.

   At least one-third of the money he earned last month was spent there.

  Listening to those sailors and mercenaries bragging is much more interesting than praying to the idol!

  Looking at this guy who has left the Spirit of the Sand Sea and the Goddess of Silver Moon behind, Fang Chang laughed and said.

   "I also think that this place is simply heaven... As long as you like it, it means that we didn't come here in vain."

   After speaking, he walked towards the gate of the city hall under the confused sight of the man.

  When Chief Fang arrived at the meeting room, the governor was almost there just in time, and asked the secretary to make him a cup of tea politely.

   Not much pleasantries.

  The governor from Dawn City quickly got to the point, speaking sincerely.

"...French Fries Port has been developing very fast recently, and there are huge job gaps in all walks of life. The city hall has asked us to absorb more immigrants from outside the alliance, but it is impossible for us Letting everyone in will impact our asylum system, and I want to ask if you have any good ideas here."

  Fang Chang asked.

   "What is the manager's opinion?"

  The governor said seriously.

   "The manager asked me to ask for your opinion."

  Fang Chang thought for a moment and said.

"This is very simple. Use the financial budget of the Port of Chips or entrust a third-party company to build some training institutions and schools that meet the standards in King Gallen Port, and then encourage employers who need labor to go to those schools to recruit those who have obtained professional skills certification. Graduates, and we just need to issue visas to those who have already got employment contracts, so that they have jobs as soon as they land, and they are not refugees if they have a job and a place to live."

  The governor's eyes lit up and he gave a thumbs up.

   "That's a good idea!"

  Fang Chang made a helpless expression.

   Isn't this basic practice?

  However, considering that there should be no such thing as a visa in the Prosperous Era, and the civilization inheritance of the Wasteland Era has been interrupted, it is understandable to lose this fine tradition.

   After all, Ideal City is actually a gourmet desert without even "steamed vegetables". Compared with his hometown Shanghai, this kind of thing is unimaginable.

  In fact, the "electronic passport" that their administrators have recently produced through the sticky body is a bit like a passport and a visa.

Due to the existence of the electronic pass, the survivor forces who had closed their doors opened their doors one after another, and the survivors living in the member countries of the Viscomunity have also obtained the right to "freely move within a limited range". Instead of having no choice most of the time as before.

  In fact, to be honest, this is the most unreasonable place.

  The managers from the People's Federation era unexpectedly took out something that was not available in the People's Federation era, and they used it so handily.

  Fang Chang sometimes couldn't help but suspect that this guy might not be an NPC played by a real person.

   Just as Fang Chang was thinking wildly, the governor sitting opposite coughed lightly and continued.

   "There is one more thing, mainly about Baiyue Company."

   Fang Chang, who came back to his senses, nodded and said bluntly.

"You say."

  The governor said seriously.

   "The manager hopes that you will suspend the military conflict with the empire and focus more on the southern sea."

  Although it was expected, Fang Chang couldn't help showing a helpless expression on his face.

"We are already doing this, including the subsea power grid, freshwater pipeline, ocean current power station, and the restart of Coral City. The impact is difficult to be reflected immediately, and the benefits of order will take time to be reflected."

  Hearing these remarks, the governor immediately realized that he had misunderstood himself, and quickly explained.

"You misunderstood. The manager is not questioning your work. On the contrary, he thinks that you have done a good job. Whether it is the unity of the survivors in the southern sea area or the handling of the expeditionary force, you have a stand. Think carefully about the problems they encounter from the point of view of the 'managed'."

   "Thank you, we just did what we should do." Taking a sip from his teacup, Fang Chang said modestly, but the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly.

  That guy's affirmation is still very useful to him.

  The governor nodded and said.

   "It's good if you can understand. In short, the manager didn't urge you to gain an advantage on the front line immediately. What he meant was that he hoped that you could moderate your attitude towards the empire."

  Fang Chang's mouth twitched involuntarily.

   "Are we strict with the Empire?"

  The embargo is obviously a unilateral act of the empire. They have never restricted the flow of people and goods in King Gallen Port, and even acquiesced in the existence of shadow ports like Jiaotou Bay.

  As for the warlords who appeared on the border, it is even less of their business.

  Due to the ceasefire negotiations, he even suspended contact with the rebels in the empire.

  Responding to Fang Chang's "crying for injustice", the governor made a helpless expression.

"I don't know much about your affairs across the sea. I'm just conveying the meaning of the administrator. In addition, the Alliance is about to sign a formal ceasefire agreement with the Empire. The Duke of Galava has already made concessions on several key agreements. Mr. Administrator hopes that Kingaron Port was able to release Governor Nihak as our sincerity."

  Fang Chang froze for a moment.

   "That's all?"

  Governor: "Is there any difficulty?"

   "No... it might as well be too simple."

  Fang Chang said dumbfoundedly, then opened vm in front of him, edited a message, and clicked send.

   In a few minutes, Port Kingaron Town Hall will receive a telegram from Port of Chips, and the secretary he promoted will quickly take care of everything.

  By this time tomorrow at the most, Governor Nihak will leave the prison and stand on the streets of Port Kingaren that have undergone tremendous changes...

  Hope the governor isn't too surprised by the changes in the place he once governed.

  If the empire is willing to regard this as a kind of goodwill, it is not impossible to let the more than 10,000 prisoners of war in the prisoner-of-war camp go home.

  Fang Chang, who finished sending the message, looked at Mr. Governor sitting opposite, and said calmly.

   "It's done."

   This is probably the fastest one among all the tasks he has completed.

  The governor had a surprised expression on his face, as if surprised by his speed.

  Fang Chang looked at him and continued to ask.

   "Anything else?"

  Whether it is immigration management or the sincerity of the ceasefire, in his view, it is a trivial matter.

   If it's just this matter, there is no need to convey it to him through the governor, just add a sentence on the task bar and it's done.

  He is more inclined to think that there are more important things.

   And the facts did not exceed his expectations, the Governor really had something to say.

  The latter cleared his throat and continued.

   "In addition, regarding the listing of Baiyue Company that you proposed before, Mr. Manager has already discussed with the experts from Camp 101, and he thinks your request is reasonable."

"Residents of the alliance should share the achievements brought about by the development of the Baiyue Strait, which will stimulate their enthusiasm for developing the wasteland. For you, going public means more convenient access to funds and faster expansion of your business. The cake is bigger."

   "However, before that, you need to cooperate with the supervisors entrusted by the alliance bank to audit and evaluate the business, funds, and assets under your name to ensure that the legitimate interests of investors and equity transactions are carried out under the premise of openness, fairness and justice."

   "If everything goes well, your listing will become a successful demonstration. Mr. Manager plans to set up a special stock exchange in Shuguang City to provide listing services for other companies that have financing needs and are in good operating condition."

  Fang Chang was taken aback when he heard the words, but when he came back to his senses, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and he immediately agreed without saying a word.

   "Mr. Manager, please rest assured! We will do our best to cooperate with the alliance bank to complete the financial audit work!"

  The governor nodded with a smile.

   "Compared to the previous two matters, this is just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning. Just understand it."

  Hearing these words, Fang Chang had a bright smile on his face, but he didn't speak.

   Little things?

  If this is considered a small matter, then I am afraid there is no greater matter than this!
