During this period of time, the Evil Eye Tyrant Lord has not made any purchases on his own, but has maintained fixed channels to conduct transactions at the border stations, so he did not expect the development of the Dou Ling Republic.
It was only when he came to this country in person that he realized that time had changed and this place was no longer what he was familiar with.
It was shocking enough that Douling could achieve prosperity when it was first established, but the degree of development of this country now is still jaw-dropping.
The three major empires have actually noticed that the population is gradually moving towards the Douling Republic. Although Douling has not achieved equality for everyone, it is still more equal than the three major empires. Because of this, for people living at the bottom
For people, this country is undoubtedly more attractive.
Although population cannot directly represent wealth, Dou Ling utilizes the labor force of the population quite efficiently. The working population undoubtedly represents huge wealth.
When every country is first established, it is undoubtedly the most honest and honest time. After all, corruption has not had time to breed. The first batch of people who established the country were either ambitious or idealistic.
In the hands of the people, the wealth collected from the people was reinvested in the construction of the country.
The areas of cities began to expand rapidly, and the city walls had to be demolished. Although it seemed that important defensive facilities were demolished, as the times progress, people will soon realize that the city walls have become less and less effective.
It's necessary.
Along with the construction of such a large project, the corresponding construction machinery has also developed. Industrial power exoskeletons with Douluo characteristics can be found in the streets and alleys of the city. These people working in exoskeletons are simply like
Just like the delivery guys delivering food, you can see them everywhere.
Although their movements seem a bit clumsy, each one of them is extremely powerful and can easily lift animals several times their weight. Carrying these heavy objects, they can walk hundreds of meters without breathing.
This is a physical strength that many soul masters do not have, but with the help of machinery, even ordinary people can complete it.
The emergence of such equipment undoubtedly means a substantial increase in productivity. Tall buildings have begun to become popular, and the seemingly inconspicuous lines in the city almost cover the sky.
This is the dawn of the electric age, but because the early planning of the power grid and the design of transmission losses were not so perfect, the wires were like a network covering the sky of the city.
But it is precisely because of this that the city is filled with a punk style that is like another world. The vehicles used by the Sun and Moon Empire for the Soul Engineer Group can be described as a steady stream on the streets of Dou Ling.
Although there are very few private vehicles, the streets are still busy, with a large number of vehicles carrying goods, workers, and mechas, distributing these things to various parts of the city.
One thing that is very different from modern cities is that in this city, commerce is not particularly developed, especially industries such as the catering industry that are most commonly found in small cities.
Because people in this country still retain the habit of eating in collective canteens, even if there are individual catering operators, they are only allowed to operate within the scope of the canteen.
Not only that, each industry has its own clear operating area for easy management. This system may seem strange, but in fact it is quite convenient.
Most workers do not go home during the working day, but live in collective dormitories. This actually greatly reduces commuting time. If this system is implemented now, it can also greatly improve work efficiency.
Save resources wasted on activities such as commuting.
However, modern people who have been accustomed to a luxurious living environment cannot accept this kind of life lacking personal privacy. However, one thing at least proves the benefits of collective dormitories and collective canteens.
That is, almost all universities currently still use collective dormitories. It is not that they don’t have money to build more dormitories for students to live in. In fact, universities that have money to build stadiums and laboratories are not short of money at all to build a dormitory for students.
The single-person dormitories on the upper floors of the institute still retain this system. To a large extent, this is to allow students to adapt to collective life and adapt to mutual cooperation. There is no doubt that the number of people working together in industrial society will increase.
.
The Republic of Douling is obviously aware of this problem. The more complex the industrial system is, the more complicated the division of labor and cooperation are. Therefore, during the difficult period at the beginning, it adopted centralized management strategies such as collective dormitories and collective work.
And this strategy has been implemented ever since.
People who have just emerged from the edge of starvation are actually very satisfied with their current living conditions. Until the entire society breaks away from this collective life in large numbers, almost no one will object to it.
Obviously, the Douling Republic has chosen the former between an enterprising society and a service-oriented society. Such a choice will undoubtedly sacrifice the interests of this generation, or even the interests of more than one generation. After all, any development has to pay a price.
Yes, and these prices are actually paid by each of us. If we really give up progress and invest all the wealth created by mankind into social welfare, the welfare that people will enjoy will be unimaginably high.
After all, they are already industrialized. If you just want to be comfortable, it is not easy. But falling into such an environment will undoubtedly mean stagnating. Therefore, in reality, few countries choose such a purely service-oriented society. Almost
All countries will subjectively mobilize national resources to carry out national-level projects.
Dou Ling obviously made all of this more extreme. While everyone was escaping from the sea of suffering, he was very satisfied with the life of abundant food and clothing, and invested a lot of productivity into scientific research and infrastructure construction.
This also caused Dai Luoli and the Evil Eye Tyrant to come across a strange phenomenon. This country was obviously very prosperous. There were tall buildings lined up in rows. Cigarettes were rising from the sky, thick smoke was emitting, and there was a constant flow of people on the streets.
Busy traffic.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! However, the residents of this country, whether in terms of clothing or lifestyle, appear to be quite simple, and are completely unworthy of the country's current wealth.
The evil-eyed tyrant master subconsciously came to the conclusion that this was the ruthless exploitation of the bottom class of society by the corrupt rulers. Even though the country had created huge wealth, the citizens were still not qualified to enjoy life.
Dai Luoli vaguely felt something was wrong, but couldn't figure it out for a while, so he gave up thinking and took a nap first. After the Evil Eye Tyrant Lord found his last seller, he woke up and went straight to look at the weapons.
The evil-eyed tyrant took the public transportation system, followed the very eye-catching signs, and quickly arrived at the place he was looking for. Because he came in a hurry this time, he did not even arrange a receptionist, so he could only figure out how to do it himself.
I found the person I was looking for.
…
"Are you saying that you want a larger batch of weapons supply? This... I'm afraid it's a bit difficult. The government's orders have been urgent recently. Our factory's production capacity basically has to complete the orders from above. The production capacity given to you is probably
It is difficult to continue to expand.
You can also ask other manufacturers, but it should be similar to us. If you are not a big customer, and we are an important strategic partner of our country, it may be very difficult for us to even guarantee the original supply.
"
Facing the merchant's explanation, the Evil Eye Tyrant Lord fell into deep thought. The Dou Ling Republic obviously did not need to face a war, so why did it order so many weapons?
Is it possible that they plan to form a cheese sandwich with the Sunset Empire? If that is the case, the Star Luo Empire will be in danger, and this situation is really possible.
Although the idiom "far-reaching attack" was not born on this continent, the Evil Eye Tyrant Master still understands similar principles. The Dou Ling Republic and the Sun and Moon Empire are not bordering each other, so there should be no direct conflict. In this way, the two sides collude.
It is actually very possible to annex the Star Luo Empire.
Obviously there was a major mistake in his estimation. He was so focused on training the army that he did not notice the recent boom in international trade. The Douling Republic did not know how much wealth it had delivered to the Sun and Moon Empire through trade.
The real reason why the war started was not to capture the Star Luo Empire, but to defeat the Star Luo Empire so that the Sun and Moon Empire could directly threaten Dou Ling's homeland.
Although Dai Luoli does not understand the complex international situation very well, he is definitely an expert on the performance of various weapons and their application on the battlefield.
They were gesticulating in their minds, pointing out that this weapon cost 500, and that weapon cost 1,000, which made the evil-eye tyrant master feel very helpless. Now they seem to have money but can't buy enough weapons to arm themselves.
After that, I visited several merchants in succession and tried to stimulate them to increase more production by raising prices, but in the end I gained very little, and not many merchants were able to squeeze out production capacity to produce weapons specifically for them.
And after just estimating, if all the production capacity of the several major factories in front of us is taken up by the officials of the Douling Republic, then the number of weapons Douling hoards this time will be too exaggerated.
It's so exaggerated that it doesn't even look like it's prepared to destroy the Star Luo Empire, but to prepare each person with five sets of equipment.
Finally, just when they thought they were going to leave empty-handed this time, the last businessman they visited accidentally asked them a question.
"If you just want to purchase some basic weapons, there is actually no need for cross-border trade. You may not know that there is a large factory in your own country that can produce these simple weapons.
More or less, you should have heard the name of that organization, the Sandstorm Group!"
When the Evil Eye Tyrant Master heard this name, he still felt a little unfamiliar, but when Dai Luoli heard this, he immediately reacted. This group has become famous only in the past few years.
The earliest big move had a lot to do with the White Tiger family. It was the continent-wide soul fighting competition privately held by Duke White Tiger. In that competition, the group organized a total of 5,000 people to do business.
This was a large-scale operation that was discovered only after a later investigation. At that time, they integrated into Xingluo City like drops of water, seizing the limelight in all walks of life, and almost single-handedly monopolized the catering and tourism industries during the competition.
Relying on efficient takeout service, considerate tour guide service, exquisite contestant figures, and souvenirs, we made a lot of money in that competition.
Afterwards, this group refused to stop, and even attacked the baron and occupied the baron's fiefdom.
However, this matter was suppressed by spending money. Anyway, what was swallowed up was the enfeoffed fiefdom. The Sandstorm Group could provide more tributes than the baron. In addition, the place was not that big in the first place, so the empire turned a blind eye.
He didn't pay attention to the unfortunate baron.
After that, the Sandstorm Group occupied the factory and invested a lot of money to upgrade the factory. The specific operations are not clear, but the factory's production capacity increased significantly and it was expanded several times that year.
So far, the products have been produced in large quantities and of high quality, and are well-known in the empire, but what people didn't expect is that the factories under this group can actually produce products of the Dou Ling Republic.
If possible, it is naturally better to use one from your own country. After all, it is more secure and easier to control.
"Are you sure you can produce the same type of product? We have an urgent need now. If we can't produce a large number of qualified products in a short time, I'm afraid it won't work." The Evil Eye Tyrant Lord had no choice but to express his demands.
.
"Don't worry about this. Not long after its establishment, the Sandstorm Group sent a large number of students to our country to go deep into the front lines of factories to learn technology. Although they cannot learn high-end technology, they are quite familiar with basic industries.
The weapons you need do not require too much high-tech equipment. Well... In this way, if the Sandstorm Group's factories cannot produce weapons in large quantities, you can import some parts that are relatively difficult to manufacture from our country and assemble them back.
You can also get products with similar effects.
From my personal point of view, the leader of the Sandstorm Group is still very discerning. He only has discernment and skills. Although most of his subordinates are ordinary people, they all obey his words. Even if they don't come to study with us
, I will definitely be able to do great things in the future.
You can rest assured of their production capabilities. We have also cooperated with the Sandstorm Group and can provide the production of key parts for the weapons you need.
Although most of the production capacity has been occupied by government orders, some capacity can still be squeezed out. If it is used to produce finished products, it will definitely not be able to supply much, but if it is only to produce key components.
According to your previous description, it should barely be able to meet your needs. I hope you can consider it. I have his contact information here. If you are in a hurry, you can try ultra-long-distance soul guide communication, although the signal may not be very good.
Okay, but if it takes at least a few times, it should be possible to connect."
