Chapter 19: The Endless Loop

Human beings are very strange creatures, and sometimes things that can be done during the day are put in the dead of night for various reasons.

For example, when discussing something unspeakable, there are always people who schedule the time in the evening instead of the morning.

Perhaps it was this quiet atmosphere that gave their dormant brains some motivation to agitate.

Inside the huge planting equipment, the lords of the Dominion are inspecting the situation in the planting greenhouse, accompanied by their men.

It is said to be an inspection, but it is not necessarily true.

After all, as the lord of the Dominion, in addition, the planting facilities are the foundation of the Dominion, so he will come here almost every day to see what is fine.

As for tonight's inspection, it was not a whim, but a small problem with the planting equipment.

Since the seizure of the planting equipment of all the surrounding powers, which have deprived them of their ability to provide food for themselves, the Dominion has assumed all the food supplies in the region.

At the same time, in this way, the domination of this place is completed.

But in recent years, the decline in food exports and the increase in prices have made the people living in the region very dissatisfied with the Dominion.

As a lord, he naturally knew, but even if he knew, he didn't have any good way to solve this problem.

The first problem is that the planting equipment has become a little worn out after so many years of use, and even frequent replacement of parts cannot guarantee its normal operation, so recent production has been carried out at a low efficiency.

This has led to a downward trend in the amount of food produced by the Dominion in each round, and it is still the kind that cannot be reversed.

Coupled with the consumption of the Dominion itself, those lords can still eat and drink regardless of the aging of the planting equipment and the pressure of his lord as a lord.

It stands to reason that in this case, he, the lord, should start ruling with an iron fist and directly suppress them, but there is no way, his own position is pushed up by this group of people, and now he is in a state where he can't get off the stage.

At this point, the lord was extremely resentful of his predecessor, why did he destroy most of the planting equipment that did not belong to the Dominion, instead of integrating it into the Dominion.

If it is integrated, then the Dominion with a large number of devices can rotate those devices, so that wear and tear and maintenance can be balanced, and they will not have to work so hard.

Looking at the sprouts of the crops that had just grown, the lord sighed silently.

If I had known that it would be so troublesome, I wouldn't have teamed up with others to kill the old lord.

"Lord, why don't we stop the food supply to the outside world? In this way, our equipment can be overhauled, but it will be good to supply it later. ”

Walking between the staggered cultivation tanks, a younger brother who followed behind the lord asked.

"No, as soon as the food supply stops, those people outside will have to rebel, and who of you can guarantee that they will be kept out of the camp?" Another retorted, "In my opinion, it would be better to reduce the supply in the camp first, so that it will not only pacify the outside, but also allow time for the planting equipment to be overhauled." ”

"And as long as it's overhauled, we can use the parts we built during this time to try to make another set of small planting equipment, and everything will be solved."

Listening to the conversation between the two, the lord who walked in front did not react immediately.

It is not unclear that the second man's plan is actually the best, which can not only ensure the stability of the surrounding area, but also alleviate and even solve the problems that the Dominion is currently experiencing.

But reduce the supply in-house......

He really can't make this determination, he himself is a power grabber who is not in the right position, and the people below are not dissatisfied with him.

If it weren't for the good food and drink for them now, I'm afraid that the second self would have ousted himself from power a long time ago.

So, this is stuck in an endless loop.

To reduce the wear and tear of parts every day to make new equipment, it is necessary to reduce internal supply, reduce internal or external supply.

But if these two items are reduced, then one's status or dominions will be lost.

For the sake of their own position, they must maintain the original food output.

In order to maintain output, the original machine would be overloaded and more parts would be needed.

Embarrassed, completely embarrassed.

This is not the first time that these suggestions have been made and reported to them, but it is clear that they have only thought of one aspect without a deep understanding of the overall situation.

Or rather, some people simply want to replace themselves.

"Pilot Yang, how long is it going to complete the repair."

The lord looked down at the man who had been tinkering with the planting equipment before, he was the best mechanic in the Dominion, and he had been watching over and maintaining the entire planting equipment.

"It's okay, it will definitely be repaired tonight, and it won't delay the follow-up production." Speaking of this, Pilot-Yang paused, "But, Lord Lord, the various parts that have been provided to me recently are a bit small, do you think you can make them produce faster?" ”

"Alas, Captain Yang, you don't know it, there are few people in our Dominion who can make those parts, and now this speed is already possible, otherwise...... Well, I'll have someone show you the parts I received last time, and you can use whatever you need. ”

The lord waved his hand and asked the younger brother behind him to go and bring the things.

"Okay, then if there is a shortage of parts next time, I can only install those parts that are barely usable, which will be very serious for the wear and tear of the equipment, Lord Lord, you have to care more about this aspect."

Pilot Yang talked to the lord while repairing the machine.

The people around the lord silently opened their eyes when they heard this.

No way, as the most skilled person in the entire Dominion, and the only one who can repair and manufacture planting equipment, Pilot Yang has always been the person that the entire Dominion does not dare to mess with.

If you provoke him, maybe one of them will be unhappy and refuse to repair the planting equipment, and everyone will starve.

Therefore, even though Captain Yang's words were full of reproach, the lord only twitched the corners of his mouth, but he didn't dare to have other words.

"Open source and reduce expenditure, we must open source and reduce expenditure!"

The lord thought silently in his heart, and immediately asked the people around him, "Which of you knows if there is a place near here where you can get a large number of mechanical parts and electronic components?" ”

"What, lord, I heard from my subordinates that they seemed to have seen a team of robots somewhere, and they should still be in our territory."

A voice rang out, and everyone's spirits were lifted.
