Zhang Hao was shocked by this crazy plan. Although he has gradually integrated into the world of spiritual practice and has become accustomed to considering many things from the perspective of spiritual practice, he still does not have as big a brain as the local people.
Zhang Yueshan proposed the Dayang Group's control and development strategy for the southern, vast continent, which is: Continental Bridge!
You must know that the Ocean Group is in the fertile continent in the north, while the territory of the Three Kingdoms in the south is in the vast continent. The straight-line distance between the two is 12,000 kilometers at the closest 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 many discussions within Dayang Group. The most popular opinion is to move the Dayang Group headquarters to Taotu Island, leaving only an office in Ninghe County.
But Zhang Hao disagrees. Because Dayang Group will inevitably develop even bigger in the future, will it have to move repeatedly?
Moreover, Ninghe County is the root of Dayang Group after all. It has a complete industrial base and the Qixia Country has an even more complete market. Casual migration may cause Dayang Group to completely lose these advantages, and the losses will be very heavy.
Moreover, the emergence of aircraft in the future will greatly eliminate this impact. 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 Liuli Island has become unfamiliar.
.
But the proposal of the mainland bridge made Zhang Hao's eyes light up.
Yes, I still have memories and influences from the Earth Age, but I have forgotten that this is a world of cultivation, and there are too many things that can be solved through cultivation.
For example, building a continental bridge that is tens of thousands of kilometers long!
Zhang Yueshan's plan is very detailed. Using steel and cement, coupled with the methods of the transformation stage, he will build bridge piers like iron towers directly in the sea, and even build islands on the sea.
The safety of the bridge is the responsibility of the Sharks and King Silver Horn. Now the Sharks have many masters at the level of gods, and they have long turned the big story between the Fertile Earth Continent and the Turbulent Earth Continent, and west of the Black Scale Island, into
It became half an inland sea.
In addition, Dayang Group’s engineering technology is also competent.
In other words, when it comes to building a continental bridge now, both the technology and the foundation are mature.
Zhang Hao picked up the document and turned to look at the map on the wall.
Going directly south from Ninghe County, where Dayang Group is located, it corresponds to the junction of the western part of Xihe Kingdom and the northeastern part of Tianshui Kingdom. The straight-line distance is about 13,500 kilometers.
If it is tilted slightly to the east, it corresponds to the northeast of Xihe Kingdom and is close to Jiangxia Kingdom. The distance is 12,000 kilometers.
But there are shorter distances. The distance from the northeast of Jiangxia Kingdom to Heilin Island is 1,000 kilometers; the distance from Heilin Island to the protruding part of Canglan Kingdom in the north is only 500 kilometers. The total distance is only 1,500 kilometers!
This is the ideal location for building a continental bridge.
However, Zhang Hao looked at the Canglan Kingdom, then at the Qixia Kingdom, and then at the Dayang Group, and felt a little helpless.
It is eight thousand kilometers from Dayang Group to the protruding part of Canglan Kingdom, passing through the important southern areas of Qixia Kingdom, that is, the estuary of Jinjiang River and Nanhai Port. These places are impossible to sell in Qixia Kingdom.
It is impossible for Dayang Group's own ruling area to rule beyond the country of Qixia and the country of Canglan.
From this point of view, the current continental bridge plan is the only solution.
As long as the mainland bridge is built, high-speed trains are connected, and express buses are widely used, the distance of 12,000 kilometers can be shortened to two days' drive.
Depending on the quality of the practitioner and the help of magic, the speed of the vehicle may be further increased, for example... to five hundred kilometers per hour, or even higher.
After Zhang Hao made some calculations, he already made a decision in his mind.
This continental bridge must be built! And it must be built well enough! And it must be built as soon as possible!
It will not only be the link between the north and south of Dayang Group, but also the accumulation and improvement of Dayang Group's technology, laying the foundation for Dayang Group's future development. In this world of spiritual practice, only madness can succeed!
However, this matter was so big that Zhang Hao had to convene a board meeting to conduct preliminary discussions. Naturally, Zhang Yueshan, the party involved, was also called to the board of directors this time. In addition, there were also the technical leaders of Dayang Group, such as Huang Mingshan and others.
.
On the board of directors, the heads of Dayang Group were a little surprised, but soon everyone made the same decision. This artery must be built! If Dayang Group wants to control the huge land in the south, this artery cannot be avoided.
At the board meeting, everyone put forward further opinions. Relying on the mainland bridge, gradually establish the second center of Ocean Group in the south to prepare for the migration. Even if it does not move, it can still be used as a companion capital. Well, as a group, it cannot be said to be a companion capital.
, can be said to be the southern regional headquarters.
The plan is approved, and then funding is allocated.
"There is no investment plan in this plan." Bai Yutang said.
Zhang Yueshan said: "For the time being, I have only demonstrated the feasibility from a technical perspective. Specific construction investment requires 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 conditions of the seabed, etc. need to be investigated. This requires a large amount of transformation period.
Secondly, the continental bridge we want to build must be strong enough and wide enough. When necessary, small cities on the sea should be built at intervals across the continental bridge to serve as transfer stations and service areas.
Third, in our plan, the mainland bridge will have at least three floors. One is railway, one is highway, and one is 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 high-grade spiritual stones. The lowest cost across the entire line.
, it is expected to cost 600 million high-grade spiritual stones.
If we calculate the difficulty of large-scale offshore construction, calculate the cost of material transportation, worker costs, etc., especially the equipment for large-scale offshore construction must be redesigned and produced. The overall cost will be at least 800 million.
If we also need to build service stations, transfer bases, etc., the cost will probably exceed 1 billion."
One billion, high-grade spiritual stones, just to build a continental bridge?
The plan for the mainland bridge is very good. But the cost... is not very acceptable. Do you know what 1 billion high-grade spiritual stones means?
Now the total war consumption between Tianmo Sect and Wusheng Tianluo Sect is less than 800 million high-grade spiritual stones. And this has already conquered half of the Taotu Continent!
Zhang Hao tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and the crisp echo attracted everyone's attention.
Zhang Hao said slowly: "This plan is very good, but some places need to be modified. For example, how about turning the service station in the center of the Continental Bridge into an industrial base?
We try to mine on the sea, build offshore oil fields, and create an offshore industrial center. Then we use the offshore industrial center to feed back the construction of the mainland bridge.
In this case, the speed may be slower, but as long as we plan well, the cost and price will be compressed to the limit.”
Everyone's eyes suddenly brightened.
Zhang Hao smiled slightly, "This matter will be handed over to the Dayang Group Technology Research Center for investigation and planning. You are allowed to mobilize the sharks and Silver Horn King Wangwang to assist.
Remember, this plan must be cautious. It is better to be slower than to make any mistakes."
…………
Dayang Group has started to be busy again, but Zhang Hao went to the imperial capital of Qixia Kingdom non-stop.
On the one hand, he wants to visit Liu Xinyu, and on the other hand, he also needs to discuss the current situation. Also, the current land of Dayang Group in Qixia Kingdom is a bit insufficient. Zhang Hao wants to buy Nanyang County.
In fact, many industries in Nanyang County are now controlled by Dayang Group. The country's power has been squeezed by industry and commerce and has been relegated to the second line. It has really become a vulnerable group.
Zhang Hao arrived at the imperial capital the next morning. The Queen had just finished her morning court.
Liu Xinyu rarely goes to court now, but that doesn't mean she won't go to court. Some things always require the queen's personal decision.
There was naturally laughter and laughter when the two met, but the political responsibilities they shouldered made them quickly get into political topics.
Zhang Hao made a request to purchase Nanyang County. Nanyang County is a little bigger than Ninghe County; well, a lot 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: "The country of Qixia is now very big, and Dayang Group is responsible for this. Nanyang County... I want 200 fairy spirits!"
"No problem!" Zhang Hao agreed casually. In the current Dayang Group, the fairy spirit technology has been basically mature. The maximum daily output is around 50 pieces. The Dayang Group is already in a state of overcapacity. But this thing cannot be sold casually. There are many
All wasted.
But for the country of Qixia, the spirit of the fairy is still precious. It is something that must be used in the true divine transformation stage, and it is also something that must be used by outstanding magical powers.
When Liu Xinyu heard that Zhang Hao agreed so happily, she immediately stopped and acted a little coquettishly, "Now the price has increased, I want five hundred. We didn't sign the contract just now, we can regret it."
"Five hundred... okay. But tonight, let's change the position."
"Are you really willing to give up?" Liu Xinyu gently stroked her belly. It has been nine months.
Zhang Hao laughed and helped Liu Xinyu walk to the pavilion. The two opened the map and began to explain the current war situation.
…………
The atmosphere in Xuanzhen Sect and Zixia Palace is very depressing.
Headmaster Hongxuanzi looked at the map in front of him, with a pair of slightly crazy eyes on his tired face.
The situation of the war far exceeded Hongxuanzi's expectations.
The Xuanzhen Sect... was defeated!
Faced with a two-front attack by the Xiaoyao Sect and the Shaoze Kingdom, the Xuanzhen Sect suffered a shameful defeat. The southern part of the Tang Kingdom, which was once the land of the Southern Tang Kingdom, fell again. Of course, in this war, there were also several southern Tang Kingdoms.
The credit of the family.
For the sake of their own survival and to show their determination to the Xiaoyao Sect, the big families in the south had long since rebelled.
Hongxuanzi looked at the military map in front of him. This leader, who had rarely been exposed to strategy in the past, could now understand war terrain maps. Next to him, Xuanzhen Sect also had strategic talents who were explaining.
This person is Hong Zhenzi, the leader of the Law Enforcement Hall. The Law Enforcement Hall can be regarded as the military institution of the Holy Land.
"The war between the Kingdom of Taihua, the Kingdom of Qingyun, and the Kingdom of Canglan is currently the best. Both sides are evenly matched, but the Kingdom of Canglan is not the Kingdom of Shaoze, nor is it the Kingdom of Qixia, and it is already a little tired.
Although the Qingyun Kingdom has insufficient industrial foundation, it has previously accepted a large number of families and masters from Western countries. Although some of them were taken back by the Qixia Kingdom, a large number of people still remain.
There is also the Kingdom of Taihua. Although it does not have a port, the industrial base of the Kingdom of Taihua is not weaker than that of the Kingdom of Canglan.
The combined efforts of the Kingdom of Taihua and the Kingdom of Qingyun are enough to defeat the Kingdom 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.
My analysis is that Nangong Zhi is stalling and waiting for us to show weakness. Now, maybe this is the opportunity.
Our next step should focus on defending Nangong Zhi and Shaoze Kingdom."
"Then there is Liuli Island in the north. The outbreak of Liuli Island was a bit unexpected, and our defense in the north is not enough. Fortunately, Liuli's main attack direction so far is the Xianyin Sect, and our side is temporarily focusing on defense."
"Finally, there is our current main enemy, the Xiaoyao Sect. I think that even if there is no strategic alliance agreement signed between the Xiaoyao Sect and the Kingdom of Shaoze, there is still a certain cooperation agreement.
The Shaoze Kingdom needs to break the siege and eliminate the Tang Kingdom. The Xiaoyao Faction needs to take back the Tang Kingdom and defeat us. The two hit it off.
But I think that regardless of whether the Xiaoyao faction is a member of the strategic alliance or not, with the end of this war, the Xiaoyao faction who have tasted the benefits will join the alliance. And the alliance members will not let the Xiaoyao faction leave.
In other words, no matter what, we must put an end to any chance."
As Hong Zhenzi's voice fell, Headmaster Hong Xuanzi rubbed his brows tiredly, "Tell me, were some of our initial decisions wrong?
Because of these wrong decisions, we have drifted away from Dayang Group, and we have become strangers to the country of Qixia.
Because of these wrong decisions, the country of Shaoze turned against itself and the country of Canglan rebelled."
The heavy pressure, the failure of the war, the large number of casualties and low morale put Hongxuanzi under unimaginable pressure.
Elder Hong Xiazi spoke slowly, "Brother, headmaster, you don't have to blame yourself. Even I would have made those decisions. Besides, all the plans were discussed together by us."
The elder Hong Yuanzi also spoke, and he snorted coldly, "Brother, headmaster, this is not your fault. It is Dayang Group, Qixia Kingdom, etc. who are ignorant and greedy!
They just don’t want to think about it. Without our support, the Ocean Group and Qixia Country would have become bones in the graves!
I think this matter must be discussed clearly with Dayang Group and Qixia Country. They must provide strategic materials and military support to Xuanzhen Sect!
Hong Yunzi, what do you think?"
Hong Yunzi looked unhappy. He hesitated for a while and suddenly said: "Maybe we can dock the fleet at Dayang Group."
