Chapter Twenty-Eight: A Year's Outlook from Another World (2)

And looking at both sides of the portal, it's not just the two countries that are keeping an eye on this money bag. Since China basically meets the supply of building materials and all kinds of raw materials and manufactured products for people's livelihood and industry, grabbing the minutiae of these budgets has become a big cake that major consortia must compete for.

For example, in the nominally Marsatch Lake Phase II project, which cannot be disclosed to the public, Bigge's AFRD125 crane beat out the Terex CC8000-1 (duplex), which is also part of the North American Federation, and became the winner of the either-or bid, and got the valuable order as expected. The well-known Liebherr and other factories did not participate in the bidding, IHI (Ishikawajima), Kobe Steel, Tadano and other factories due to the inherent restrictions of the Yamatai Ministry of Transportation did not have a super-heavy crane to participate in the selection, Tadano can only take out a 500-ton truck crane, XCMG can come up with a 1200-ton monster, not to mention that the 4000-ton crawler crane did not participate in the bidding at all, the AFRD125 that won the victory is the monster with a maximum lifting weight of more than 7500 tons... …

However, the most frustrated Yamatai consortium is not for nothing. The Mitsui Foundation, which has been involved in various large-scale projects, has relied on Olympus to secure numerous orders for optical components. Several other consortia have their own gains. However, with the exception of Yamatai and the North American Federation, which are both part of the Pan-Pacific Ocean, the European investors are not like they can compete in the battlefield, and can only take the money and wait for the interest to return to their hands little by little......

It's not that they didn't want to put temporary "censors" on the other side of the portal, or even get a few permanent "observers" in. But the portal is not open on the street, in other words, no one knows what is going on in the big dome of the portal. Communication? I'm sorry, but no smart person would let messages flow freely through shielded cables on both sides of the portal, and only military lines that strictly follow the norms pass through the portal. And although the military is just the back of the hand of the Egyptian Investment Bank, will they eat the "observer" set? Obviously impossible.

Maybe the observers they sent out would be "accidentally killed" in various ways as soon as they walked into the dome, perhaps giving them a chance to be roasted to death by a dragon and blown away by magic freeze - maybe a studio. When the host puts on a stinky face and makes it clear that guests are not welcome, hard stuffing is really not a good option.

Speaking of which, all of you at the Egypt Investment Bank found yourself naïve. One force will reduce the ten, unless another eight-nation alliance army is organized to enter North China, like the Old Summer Palace, Dongjiaomin Lane to carve up the portal - carve up the other world, what else can they do besides this move? What's more, once there is an alliance between the new continent and the whole world starts to deal with this country, they will not have a new day of destruction in their hands......

The more I think about it, the more headaches I get. And who thinks that the North American Federation, the Northern Alliance, Yamatai and other big players are of one heart and one mind? Regardless of the fact that the latter two still did not forget to grin at each other in the South Kuril Islands when the world was in turmoil, there was still an account of mushroom cultivation beds in the Showa period between the first and third. Do you think you're going to be able to join forces?

The elder's voice still echoed in the air and in the heads of the investors...... Make a fortune with a muffled voice, that's the roarest, the roarest, the roaring...... Forget it, so be it.

As the budget expanded, Elta's large business needed more and more manpower, especially professionals. In the case of education, for example, the goals to be achieved during the year are:

In terms of hardware, Mendong City will build two elementary schools with 10 classes per year - of course, starting from the first grade, and no higher classes will be set up for the time being.

At the same time, the education of a small number of intellectuals will continue, and the platform is still based on the "Mendong No. 1 Middle School". Continuing education for the pre-selected teachers of Elta is also believed to take place here. In the education system, there are quite a few opinions on the direct transformation of the existing Mendong No. 1 Middle School into a Mendong City Teacher Training School, which is still being discussed.

Continue to expand the scale of evening schools, and put the leadership of evening schools in the communities while the content is still free. In popular terms, it is necessary to achieve "night schools in every community".

In terms of software in Mendong City, it is needless to say that more experienced teachers need to be introduced. Educational psychology textbooks suitable for the indigenous people of Elta were developed for teacher education, and for lower education, the literary officials of the royal family of Elta cooperated with Chinese linguists to compile textbooks in Elta, and at the same time translated the introductory mathematics textbooks required by the lower schools......

Elta has only one condominium in Mendon, but the budget for Elta does not include only Mendon - if any investment in Mendong is akin to homegrown - even a grain of aid outside Mendon's boundaries is recorded in a loose-leaf ledger in Doniva's hands, regardless of the return on paper. Education may be the exception to this ledger.

If Elta reunified the whole territory from the Charles rebellion to Doniva, even if he did not lose a single population, and used the imported agricultural machinery to mechanize, the income from the granary of the whole territory would not be able to repay the shackles that had been heavily placed on Elta in the various agreements.

The only way out is that Elta must move towards industrialization with an order of magnitude higher added value than agriculture, supplemented by various service industries that feed back to China, such as the "pension tourism" and other businesses that rely on Elta's environment proposed in the "Elta's Vision for the Development of Service Industry", so that Elta will not enter a vicious circle of continuing to owe debts and never paying them back.

To enjoy the fruits of industrialization, of course, you have to pay. The payment can of course be deducted with industrial products. And a mature large-scale industrial system needs a large number of industrial workers, what do industrial workers need? Education, of course. It's all a cliché.

Exporting "education" to Elta for free, and infiltrating it with values that are hundreds of years more advanced than Elta's time, is actually a means of "plundering" otherworldly resources faster and more sustainably. Forcing Elta to stay in the Middle Ages, or even more so to go back to the slave era - then you can only create a group of miners who dig up gas every day, blow up a well one day and blow up another well, and you have to be afraid that the angry miners will come behind the lax overseers every day.

Oh, forgot, Elta is still short of coal. Even miners won't be able to do it for long now.

After the reunification of Elta, education outside Mendong City will be dominated by the distribution of a large number of self-study textbooks -- among the population base of tens of millions, there should not be too few people who can recognize the full multiplication table in basic mathematics and calculate the area of a triangle in basic geometry. Of course, the starting point of self-study textbooks is, at best, 1+1=2, and literacy. After the distribution of self-study textbooks, exams are held in the new districts accordingly, and the teacher base of the new Elta is formed on the basis of the top scorers.

That's probably all you can do in a year in education. In terms of medical and health care, the First Hospital of Mendong City will be built into the standard of a tertiary hospital, and the functions of infectious disease prevention, burns, and basic medical care will be strengthened. At the same time, Mendong City also widely recruits doctors with medical qualifications in China to obtain the special civil servant establishment of Mendong City, and is stationed in various factories and community clinics.

However, the cost of building hospitals is not very high, and the main focus of the medical and health budget is to disinfect the areas outside Mendong City. Massive disinfectant powder, disinfectant, protective clothing, all kinds of disinfectants. It is estimated that all kinds of soaps, insect repellents, antibiotics and spatulas, trauma ointments, mosquito coils and insecticides for external use, and even aunt towels for women, and various suppositories distributed to residents everywhere will occupy almost half of the portal's capacity for up to a week. Of course, now these materials that can fill half of the yard do not need to be purchased immediately, but the unification of Elta is already a matter of death order within half a year. Therefore, they should also be included in the budget.

Another big budget is transportation construction. Before the reunification of Elta, the Duncheng-Mendong City Railway, the Duncheng-Mendong City Highway (connecting the cities along the way), and the Duncheng-Mendong City Expressway (cutting straight corners and connecting appropriately), I don't know how much budget I have to eat. The construction of tunnels across mountains and the construction of bridges across large rivers even continue to mobilize domestic construction crews, and the cost of ensuring the living conditions and confidentiality of construction crews in these places is definitely higher than the cost of building a project of the same standard in China.

As for the unification of Elta, the era of real great traffic has just begun. At this stage, the city of Mendong in the western territory only needs to face one shield city, and after the north and south are combined, even Elta will expand its territory to the westernmost mountain coast. At that time, Mendong City, Shield City will face all the cities in all directions of the entire country, not considering the sections of Hilzi-Garcia-Shield City that must build a railway, how many building materials are needed for other roads that can be handed over to the Elta people to build? Even if cement can be self-sufficient, how much will construction machinery wear out? How long should the cable be laid? It's not that the money bags in Mendong City don't dare to count, it's really hard to estimate.

Even in the future, when returning to the rebuilt Garcia or moving the capital to Hirzi, or other eastern cities, Doniva will build an airport in the capital - and Mendon City will also be built to facilitate the movement of people between the two places - no matter how far Erta's foreign trade can go, Mendo City will inevitably become the economic center of Elta, and indeed the bilunar world for a long, long time. When you think about it, the rationality of building an airport is undoubtedly highlighted. Well, anyway, Doniva decided to pay for it with a wave of his hand, so the pad will be paid. An airport with enough regional planes to take off and land is not a shocking task.
