After Cangchi dealt with the blind alienated deer, and also dealt with its brother alienated Tianniu by the way, this mining area also became a lot quieter. Before Cangchi could enjoy the snowy scenery in the mountains for a few days, Chairman Luzhou, who was located in the Houtu State Kingdom, called Cangchi back with a phone call.

The reason why Cangchi rushed back in such a hurry was because there was a big problem in the new city of Shapu City. Due to the influx of a large number of people from other places, there is a serious water shortage in Shapu City, which is already short of water resources, and there is a certain shortage of electricity, which is already a little rich. At this time, the truly hideous face of the desert area is officially displayed in front of the world!

"President Lu, I have already understood the situation you reported on the road. If we want to continue to expand the population of Sand Falls City, how much will it cost us in terms of water and energy?" Cangchi summoned the two presidents, Lu Zhou and Dong Haozheng, and directly consulted them for relevant suggestions.

"Boss Cangchi. If you want to build a new molten salt power station near Sand Falls, you don't really need to spend much. But if you want to travel thousands of miles to transport water resources, the cost is a sea of money!

Not to mention that the pipeline is too long, even if it costs a lot of money to build a water source guarantee line, the maintenance cost in the later stage and the electricity consumed to transport the water source are all huge expenses. Even if they don't collect any profits, the water bills for the local residents of Sand Falls City will be extremely high! This is too much for the immigrants who have relocated! Many people may not be able to afford it at all.

If such news is spread, then no one will move over in the future. Because the cost of living here is indeed much higher than where other states have already built walls!"

Chairman Lu Zhou worriedly told the current predicament faced by Shapu City.

These are all big truths, water resources in desert areas are the most precious, and the price of water in many Houtu states is even more expensive than the price of oil! If this situation continues to ferment, then it is very likely that no one will care about the later projects in Shapu City, and there will be no return!

"Where is the progress of the construction of the city wall now?" Cang Chi suddenly asked.

"Since we are still busy expanding the new town, the walls are limited to the new town. Dong Haozheng was in charge of this part, and immediately reported the actual situation.

"Haven't the walls of other places been built at all?" Cangchi continued to ask.

"Yes. No. Vice President Dong Haozheng didn't know the meaning of Cangchi's inquiry, so he was very apprehensive when he answered.

"Very well, you go and talk to the Urban Renewal Bureau. It is said that the urban construction plan has changed, and the new urban area that has been planned and completed will continue to be built, and the areas that have not yet started construction will be directly abolished, and then the redundant part of the city wall construction will be abandoned.

When communicating concretely, we must clearly explain the actual hardships we are facing. I believe that under the hard conditions of lack of water and electricity resources, the Urban Renewal Bureau will not embarrass us. ”

Cangchi is about to cancel all the new urban areas that have not yet been built. Such a decisive decision really surprised the two presidents. You must know that although the new city has shrunk, the scale of building the wall has not shrunk much! This has gone back and forth, and the cost of building the wall has increased a lot!

"Boss Cangchi. Such a move will temporarily alleviate the electricity and water problems in the city. However, if we resolutely abandon this part of the new urban area, we will lose a large amount of real estate income for immigrants! This income is still very helpful in maintaining the virtuous cycle of urban construction projects.

Judging from the scale of construction today, the reduced real estate income is much greater than the reduced cost of building the city wall!"

Vice President Dong Haozheng felt that Cangchi's plan was quite inappropriate, so he bluntly told the pros and cons of it. Obviously, although Cangchi's approach has a kind of decisiveness of a strong man breaking his wrist, it does seem too rough.

"Rather than smashing our signboard, it is better to stop the loss in time! Any stop loss has a price, and I think this price is what I can bear. You don't need to discuss it, you just need to get it done.

In addition, the construction of a comprehensive sewage treatment plant in Shapu City will save a lot of domestic water. Solar molten salt power plants can also be considered for new construction. ”

Cang Chi directly decided the current problem, and did not frown at all because of the reason for losing money.

"Okay. Dong Haozheng had no other better way for a while, so he could only do what Cangchi told him.

"You don't have to care about the gains and losses between the moments, there is no reason to do business without losing money. Due to the haste of the launch, the two presidents and vice presidents both looked a little frustrated, and after comforting him, Cangchi continued, "President Lu, how did you handle the follow-up site selection of the urban construction project that you said last time?"

"Oh. President Lu Zhou also came back to his senses for the time being, and then responded, "I have already chosen." It's some really great city. With a slight expansion, it can accommodate a lot of immigrants. Once these cities are connected, they can build a prosperous and stable urban business circle. ”

Chairman Lu Zhou was quite confident at this time, and after consulting the information of all the cities in the entire Houtu State, he carefully selected a piece of land. This territory is basically on the trade routes of the Thick Land State and other states, and once you control it, you will have a lot of money to follow.

Cangchi took the map handed over by President Lu Zhou and looked at it, and felt that the location was really good. However, after Cangchi continued to look at it a few times, he pointed out the major flaws: "President Luzhou, you still haven't taken into account the problem of water sources. Once the scale of these cities expands, the dilemma of Sand Falls City at this time will be repeated again!"

"Boss Cangchi. This is the case with the overall situation in the country of Houtu, and after a lot of verification, I have chosen a few places with relatively sufficient water sources. As long as we pay attention to the scale of the city's construction, the situation in Sand Falls City will not be repeated. After realizing the dilemma of Sand Falls City, President Lu Zhou also made some adjustments to the site selection, and after abandoning the oases with not very abundant water sources, the remaining cities were all on this map.

"After all, groundwater resources are limited, and there will always be a day when the mountains are empty. Only by introducing foreign water sources can we completely solve the dilemma of mismatch between water sources and population capacity!

So be it. We still have to fight for the right to build the city in this place. If you can get them all, then build a city out of thin air at the front of these cities, the closest to the nearby water sources. After establishing a complete water transportation system, we will gradually move towards these cities.

In this way, the business district with water as the main means of connection is the most stable business district, and the future prosperity will be more stable and sustainable! With a stable business foundation, we can better recover the money we invested, and the maintenance cost of waterway pipelines in the later stage will no longer be a problem!

We can even attract more immigrants to move in at the cost of cheap water! The more people, the faster the money will come, and the more infrastructure projects can be maintained!"

Cangchi solved the biggest pain point that plagued the urban construction immigration plan of Houtu State in the middle of talking.

The two presidents and vice presidents also nodded yes after hearing Cangchi's high opinion. Although the urban construction project of Shapu City has exposed many problems, if it can be overcome in the follow-up project, then this is a valuable technical advantage accumulated in hard work, and it is also a powerful magic weapon to defeat other competitors.

The two presidents and vice presidents went to work on their own affairs, and Cangchi immediately entered the state of cultivation. After experiencing the lessons of the Alienated Deer and the Alienated Heavenly Bull, Cang Chi was actually very dissatisfied with his strength. Now that a large number of third-level strengthening beasts have appeared, it is only a matter of time before the appearance of fourth-level strengthening beasts appears, and it is foreseeable that this day will not come too long.

However, now Cangchi's strength is progressing slowly, and it took more than a year of cultivation to step from the early stage of the third grade to the middle stage of the third grade. This is the disadvantage of the overall equivalent of the innate qi being too weak! Fortunately, Cangchi has now trained the innate abilities on the three islands to a very high level, otherwise his cultivation progress is really a bit stretched.

After thinking about it, Cang Chi felt that he still had to accept some special tasks issued by the Awakening Committee. Otherwise, just relying on the subsidy for the daily awakening potion given by Ye Feiqiu, as well as the subsidy from the Deception Martial Arts Hall, it would not be enough to support the continuous improvement of the strength quickly.

After making up his mind, Cang Chi opened the app specially issued by the Awakening Committee, and looked up if there were any special tasks that could be done in it. You can walk around, basically nothing. For ordinary missions, these missions were quickly snatched up by nearby martial arts forces after they were announced. Now all the martial arts halls in the Federation are in full swing to strengthen the power of their martial arts halls. Cangchi wants to fight with these chicken-blooded characters, but he is really a little unable to pull it off.

After a casual walk, Cangchi decided to give full play to the advantages of his program ape, and specially wrote a plug-in to grab orders and hang it on the APP. Although this plug-in of Cangchi was discovered by the top network security experts of the Federation Council as soon as it was mounted, when Cangchi's information was reported, Xu Guowu, the head of the Federation Council, was quite excited.
