The insect plague at the turn of spring and summer this year is just the beginning of the prologue, as the summer sun becomes hot day by day, the grain-producing regions of the Norton Free Federation: Hezhou, Yizhou, Yuanzhou, and Huzhou in the Qinglong State, Yuanzhou in the White Tiger State, Lingzhou in the Vermilion Bird State, and Trap and Sichuan in the Xuanwu State are all like crazy and all kinds of alienated insects continue to appear.

Although the threat level of these alienated insects is not high, and they all hover around one or two levels, these alienated insects are a considerable threat to the citizens of the Federation who are working in the fields! Since the Qinglong State is known as the granary of the Federation, such an abnormal phenomenon is the most serious in the Qinglong Kingdom!

As the alienated insects in the wild gradually face getting out of control, the rumors of the apocalyptic disasters among the ordinary citizens of the Federation are also intensifying. However, the Federation still does not respond positively to such rumors, but continues to make more and more preferential adjustments to the immigration policy of moving to the Thick Soil State. Under external pressure and the covert guidance of the Federation, the citizens of these productive regions of the Federation have migrated to the Thick Soil State.

Because the citizens of the grain-producing areas were relatively wealthy, the gold content of this wave of immigrants was unprecedentedly high, and this flowing wealth injected a shot in the arm for the difficult construction of walls in many parts of the Houtu State. In the blink of an eye, the city construction plan of the Houtu State, which was originally a little difficult, is now like cooking oil on fire, and the entire Houtu State is engaged in the construction business, basically laughing all day long.

Because the publicity of the West Night City project in Cangchi is quite in place, and in the process of publicity, it pays attention to the key description of the lack of water and electricity in the Houtu State, as well as the hype of the water diversion project and the new construction of the molten salt power station in the West Night City, so most of the federal citizens who are used to living in the water, fertilizer and grass beauty area have chosen the West Night City in Cangchi.

However, the inhabitants of the four major states of the Union flocked to a small West Night City, and it was obvious that there was no room for so many immigrants. Such a situation was also reported to President Lu Zhou, who was in charge of this matter.

"President Lu, according to your description, judging from the current scale of immigration, it is more than enough to build a few new West Night Cities at the same time. However, if so many new cities were to be built on that border, it would be difficult for the molten salt power station to meet the electricity needs of these migrants, no matter how large it was. And the newly built water diversion projects will also be overwhelmed, and the phenomenon of water and electricity shortages will haunt our urban agglomeration like a ghost. Cangchi carefully retold the current predicament described by President Lu Zhou.

"Yes. Boss Cangchi. The runoff of our new aqueduct is so large, and there is not much land around West Night City that can be used to expand the lava power station. Blindly expanding the scale of the immigration city will only make the dilemma of Shapu City reappear.

If you want to eat so many immigrants at the same time, you must choose an equally suitable place at the junction of the Thick Earth State and other states, and build another West Night City. However, since we have built the new West Night City, some other big consortia have also taken the best place on the borders of the Houtu Kingdom, and we have no very good choice now.

If we insist on joining in the fun, it is likely that our water diversion project and the establishment of molten salt power stations will be restricted by other large conglomerates. Such vicious competition really does not seem very wise.

If you insist on building a city now, it is better to build a city directly in the Qinglong State near West Night City, and the cost will be smaller. However, it will be more troublesome in the future, and the city's defense of alienation disasters will become a major expense. ”

President Lu Zhou also seemed very helpless about the pattern of West Night City. Now that the blessed holy land of refuge has been almost developed, if you want to continue to seek development, you may really have to take the risk and return to the four major states again.

"When we first established this West Night City, we wanted to establish a fraternal city-state in this barren Shazhou. And through the communication between the inhabitants of these city-states, a huge commercial empire was formed.

However, it is a pity that the current scale of immigration has exceeded the maximum capacity of the barren state. It seems that we are underestimating the scale of federal immigration!

If we want to solve this dilemma, then only the federation can help, if the federation can help us solve the energy problem, for example, build more thermal power stations, or through the construction of new high-voltage transmission lines, the rich power of the major hydropower stations in the Qinglong State will be transferred to our side.

Do you have any eyebrows about the relationships you use for these things?"

In the face of the tide of immigrants like the sea of the Federation, all Cangchi can think of now is to rely on the power of the Federation. After all, the strength of individual business groups is indeed too small in the face of such a wave of immigrants.

"The problem of transferring surplus electricity from major hydropower stations will have to wait until the migration tide is completely stabilized before the federation can make a unified plan, after all, many local buildings now need electricity, in fact, there is a shortage of electricity everywhere in the federation.

However, there are internal sources that the federation has begun to pay attention to the problem of water and electricity shortage in the Houtu State, so it is considering building a new batch of nuclear power plants in the Houtu State!"

President Lu Zhou was also heartbroken about the affairs of West Night City, and a lot of relevant gossip was also collected. Now after discussing this specific detail with Cang Chi, his thinking changed very quickly.

"I see, this is really great news!" Cang Chi immediately became excited after hearing the gossip introduced by President Lu Zhou.

"Boss Cangchi, the future planning location of these new nuclear power plants that the Federation will build is still unknown. It would be great if it could really be built near our West Night City. But if it's far away, then there won't be much oil to share with us. Regarding the blind optimism shown by Cangchi at this time, President Lu Zhou persuaded him quite worriedly.

Cang Chi only smiled at Chairman Luzhou's concern, and then explained: "President Lu, the purpose of the federation's construction of the nuclear power plant is to solve the problem of the shortcomings of the Houtu State. If there is no shortage of electricity in our West Night City, or the overall value of West Night City is not as high as in other places, then the Federation will definitely not build a nuclear power plant in our place.

However, if our West Night City is short of electricity, and the overall value is very high, then it will inevitably become the preferred location for the federal construction of nuclear power plants. ”

After Cangchi's mention, President Lu Zhou's eyes also lit up, and he said quite excitedly: "Boss Cangchi, you mean ......"

"Yes!" Cang Chi continued with President Luzhou's words, "Taking advantage of the current immigration tide in full swing, we must plan the number and scale of West Night City and the surrounding brother city-states as much as possible, pre-sell as many kinds of real estate as possible, and absorb as many immigration resources as possible!"

As long as the scale of our cities is large and the number of immigrants increases, the scale of the economy will naturally rise, and it will be difficult to think that the problem of power shortage is not serious! In this way, relying on the willingness of the Federation to build new nuclear power plants, we do not have to passively wait for the Federation to come and assess us, and we can completely take the solid data in our hands to the Federal Urban Construction Bureau to complain.

In this way, because the scale of urban construction projects in other parts of the Houtu State is not enough, or it is only in a state of waiting to be built, and the Federation sees that we do meet the standards, then the first nuclear power plant will definitely be built near our West Night City. ”

Cangchi's remarks can be said to show the strategy of taking the initiative to the fullest. Under normal circumstances, everyone adheres to the principle of building roads first if you want to get rich, that is, you must have roads before you can start gathering manpower and material resources. However, they have forgotten that it is precisely because of the phenomenon of population gathering that there is a need for roads. Later, in order to continue to develop outward, the people who gathered would first build the road and then gather around the road.

The strategy that Cangchi said at this time is to jump out of such thinking inertia, return to the source, and find the right way to strive for infrastructure indicators.

"Good idea. After hearing Cangchi's suggestion, Chairman Lu Zhou also seemed quite excited, but he also quickly noticed another shortcoming, so he continued to ask, "But although electricity has been solved, what about the problem of water resources? Without electricity, at most, you can't blow the air conditioner, but you can't drink water, that's the rhythm of death." ”

After the excitement, President Lu Zhou became even more worried. Electricity is clearly a priority over water sources.

"Minor problem. "Once there is sufficient electricity, the scale of our water conservancy projects can be further expanded, and a large number of new sewage treatment plants can also improve the evolutionary efficiency of the final water quality and achieve a better recycling rate of water resources under the condition of sufficient electricity."

Even if the efficiency of the sewage treatment plant is limited and the requirements for drinking water are too high, at least industrial water and green water can be met. As a result, the need for water is much smaller. ”

"That's right! Modern industry is so complete, as long as the electricity is sufficient, it can completely increase the efficiency of water reuse, and our dependence on fresh water can be lower.

I'm going to plan the urban development plan now, and I'm going to think about how to appeal to the federal government."

After hearing about Cangchi's plan, President Lu Zhou was excited again. The federal nuclear power plant is simply the finishing touch to the resettlement program of the Thick Soil State. As long as you have a steady stream of energy, modern industrial facilities and urban clusters, why not build them?!
