Chapter 720: Not a Bluff
The Atlantic Floater is still far from meeting the quality of the design, only about 30 percent of the target to be exact. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
As a result, the capacity of the gravity core and the production of by-products is insufficient, and there is still a considerable amount of "imports" to be relied on - in addition to building materials and other equipment, as well as military equipment from the US military, there is also more soil.
The previous purchase of soil from South America was only a little more than 50% of the entire floating island construction plan, and for some reason, Phoebe stopped the follow-up of the purchase of soil.
As for where to buy the soil from South America, this is very simple, due to the collapse of the chain in the field of financial circulation in the economic crisis, it is difficult to protect itself, the South American countries that were originally economic colonies of the United States, many farmers have gone bankrupt, and the door-to-door purchase of naïve planting soil for Oncrow has become a big savior for South American countries, as for whether this will destroy the cultivated land, resulting in a decrease in the output of cultivated land in the future, who cares, if he does not sell the soil, the bank will forcibly take over the farm, maybe tomorrow the whole family will be on the streets, at this time, of course, only for the present。
And Titan and Unclaude also have no worries, it is no secret that various power groups in the United States have plundered the resources of South America, and even when there is a famine in some parts of South America, farm workers have to sell what they grow to supermarkets in Britain and the United States, and the money they get is only enough to buy a little food for their stomachs, but that is better than finding food in the garbage heaps of the slums. Therefore, all the capital groups believe that they buy anything in South America out of benevolence and humanitarianism, and Titanus, under the leadership of Phoebe, will naturally not do anything that impresses the various allied forces, so buying the rich soil and leaving the local farmers who are about to go bankrupt will not bother Phoebe at all.
Even after seeing Phoebe doing this, the various alliances found that this could not only greatly reduce the local high-quality arable land, but also transport the naïve soil to a safer place for planting, and "further promote" the "cooperation" between South American countries and the world grain market.
As a result, the economy of South America has not been affected by the world economic crisis at all, but because the soil trade has become prosperous, and as for the local people of insight to stand up and stop anything, it has not appeared at all, because many people of insight have been invited by various American colleges and research institutes to conduct a two-year study on the world food supply chain at the beginning.
It can be said that this time the soil buying boom triggered by Onclaude, or Titan, has satisfied everyone, and the people of South America feel that digging some dirt out of the ground can get enough money to buy food for their families, which is a pie-in-the-sky thing.
In the economic and corporate shipping circles, there are many people who praise Onclaude because the economic crisis has just begun, but with the start of the South American soil economy, it immediately saved the livelihoods and careers of many people.
Only Titan is a little troubled, the quality of the Atlantic Floaters is not enough, but the price of soil has risen several times, which makes Enceladus's funds for the purchase of soil very fast, and as some power groups use the purchased soil to establish farms in other areas, the price of soil will not fall easily, making Enceladus's plan to need more soil seriously blocked.
Phoebe had foreseen this in her previous plans, but her speculation was that someone would join forces with the shipping conglomerate to speculate on the price of the soil and eventually profit from Titan's pool, without taking into account that someone would want to open a new farm. Truth be told, no matter how well-informed Phoebe is, she can't be more powerful than someone with creative thinking.
Under the dual impact of the economic crisis and the food crisis, buying soil to build farms elsewhere was unprecedented in the past, and Phoebe naturally could not have foreseen it.
As for the technologies that Phoebe came up with, such as the Labyrinth System and the Atlantic Floater, they are a combination of various technologies in the engineering field, which is why she has always considered herself an engineer and not a scientist.
There is even a considerable part of "Phoebe's creativity", which is still from science fiction, not that she came up with, she is just better at combining "technology" than others.
However, Phoebe didn't mean to be angry at all after knowing about this, except for her appreciation of human creativity, yes, Phoebe appreciated creative ideas, and at the same time, she also discovered that she could take advantage of the rift in the chain of control of traditional capital forces, which was a surprise for her.
Because, the cultivation of crops on the Atlantic floaters originally meant to allow Titan to enter the primary industry, which is an industry that truly maintains the sustainable prosperity and development of human society, and many people have tried it before her, but without exception, they have been wiped out by the forces that really control this industry.
The current situation is that the economic crisis caused by the bankruptcy of bank credit has seriously weakened the power that originally controlled the primary industry, and the invasion of the primary industry by other capital that is seeking an escape route will reduce the suspicion and oppression of Titan, the power that produces food on artificial floating islands, will be greatly reduced.
Titan's Atlantic floaters are "ships", not land, not islands. No one can interfere with Titan's food cultivation on floating islands, because Titan has no need to "export" food, and even if it can't be grown and eaten, it can be sent to a macromolecular material processing plant.
This is only ownership in the legal sense, so the forces that control the primary industry will still take action after learning about the food production of the Atlantic floaters, but the law firm that Phoebe asked Barbara to establish already has more than eighty lawyers involved in various fields, coupled with Phoebe's existence with a rebellious memory, it is difficult for anyone to defeat Titan through legal means.
Even if someone wants to invoke any fair competition or antitrust laws against Titan, Titan will not be at a disadvantage, when Phoebe insisted on establishing a branch in Detroit and setting up a shipyard along the river, it was for someone to send Titan to the dock one day with a similar problem, and Titan responded by a complete retreat, closing and liquidating all properties in Detroit and Michigan, although on the surface, Titan seems to have been kicked out of Detroit, but all lovers understand that Titan is a complete retreat, and most importantly, it also makes many people understand that Titan does not exist in the dictionary"A compromise that is forcibly given".
Of course, this is not to say that Titan and Phoebe will not compromise, Phoebe is still very good at compromise, just look at how many forces revolve around Titan's plan to understand that she is very good at compromise, she just does not accept the "imposed compromise" of others.
Although Titan has such a style, Phoebe does not dare to guarantee what kind of changes will be caused when the food output figures on the Atlantic Floaters are known to the outside world, because just after the news that the Atlantic Floaters have plans to grow food crops has been spread, Koos has discovered some things that may be aimed at Titan, and even the current soil purchase boom is also derived from many things aimed at Titan.
The forces that control the primary industry originally wanted to take advantage of Titan by hoarding soil, and then tried to control the cultivation of food crops on the Atlantic floaters, but the place where the soil was purchased and piled up was found to be able to be cultivated. As a result, more people saw their approach, simply followed suit, and also bought the soil of South America, so the forces that control the primary industry lifted a stone and shot themselves in the foot. On the contrary, the net of the primary industry, which was originally strictly controlled, has been torn open and many people have easily entered.
In Phoebe's view, this is another stupid place for human beings, if she were to design, she would never make a plan to raise the purchase price of soil, and force Titan to comply, in fact, there are many ways.
Of course, Phoebe will definitely not hand over the control of the Atlantic Floaters to others, the plan mentioned above is only for the ownership of the "ship" in the legal sense of Phoebe, and Phoebe does not believe in the law, otherwise she would not have raised such a large team of lawyers.
This seems to be a bit inconsistent, but it is not difficult to understand that the law needs to be interpreted and applied by people, which is equivalent to weapons to be used by people, if the use and use are not right, no matter how perfect the law is, it will also produce great harm, because the damage caused by the good people who think they are the embodiment of the controversy is greater than the damage caused by the wicked, and the specific examples are constantly played out in the twentieth century, as was the case in Germany before World War II.
Phoebe understands that humans can't tell the difference between good and bad in many situations due to emotional factors, so Phoebe prefers to trust software and machines without emotion, and it is also the software she writes that guarantees her full control over the Atlantic floaters.
Just as Phoebe created Leto in order to fully control the Light of Knowles, Asteria in order to fully control Titan, Koos was created in order to control the public information on the Internet, and then extract and summarize valuable information, Artemis was created to fully control the Atlantic Floaters, and in the future, Phoebe will also create Apollo for the space garbage recycling platform......
Although Phoebe can control Titan with the help of Asteria, with the gradual improvement of the floating island, the U.S. military, Onclude, and people from various allied forces will be allowed to land on the island, although there are more than 20,000 people in Titan, but they will eventually be overwhelmed by the huge number of foreign forces.
Among them, the Americans are predominant, and the Americans like to cook dishes and at the same time dislike big government, which will inevitably lead to the impossibility of Titan to manage the "ship" of Atlantic floaters on the surface.
Therefore, Phoebe must keep Titan as a company, not as a governing body or a government, so Artemis's role is even more important.
Because Phoebe understands that when so many powerful people arrive on the island, after a long time, it will definitely make many people want to control the floating island even more, because the floating island has a refuge function and a strategic function, and people with vision will want to take the floating island into their own hands.
Phoebe obviously does not let people act recklessly on their own turf, and has shown Titan's strength and determination in Detroit, Paris, and Berlin before, but has never really demonstrated Titan's viciousness, so Phoebe has been looking forward to news from South Korea's northern neighbor since April.
That's right, it was the news of the outbreak of the primordial smallpox virus that was brought to the northern neighbor during the "archaeological project", and it was on this day that she finally arrived......
