"Ancient City, it seems like it can make a fortune from war?"
At this point in time, Lu Ping'an was a bit like a big boss who had made money. He had his own industry, staff and assets, and began to consider doing something for his hometown.
As a senior official in the government and military, he naturally has the resources to carry out strategic planning. If there must be an order, he naturally hopes that it can be delivered to his hometown.
Don’t underestimate this kind of “personal behavior”. Once Lu Ping’an really turns the order into a long-term project, a large project can even revitalize a development zone or even an entire city, and directly or indirectly support hundreds of thousands or millions of people.
Especially arms orders, which basically have super high profit values and long-term supply, are high-quality orders. Among all arms orders, warships are the most expensive, most stable and most profitable.
An order for a ship may be able to support dozens of related companies for more than half a year. As long as the industry is developed, it is possible to set up a special military port area.
If this thing is really developed, the scale will easily exceed 10 billion.
".It seems that I need to go back. I must select a site on site and have a face-to-face meeting with the senior officials of the ancient city."
Lu Ping'an thought about it and looked at the map.
He has the technology, capital and professional talents, so it is not difficult to mass-produce "log battleships". The key is still the site selection.
He was hesitating whether to set up the ancient city as a production base. Once Lu Ping'an's Ark battleship was put into mass production and use, its performance ceiling and cost-effectiveness would be quite good. The cost and shipbuilding speed alone would far exceed those of ordinary steel battleships.
However, if you want to bring things from foreign lands, the prerequisite is to have a complete set of corresponding "environment".
The corresponding seeds and resources are not a big problem. The core is actually the corresponding "rules". Rules are the foundation of the environment. The one who can form his own "territory" with multiple rules is the so-called domain, and the next level is the so-called kingdom of God.
There is actually a more intuitive real-life example - the secret realm.
Those who can carry and create a designated "Secret Realm of Rules" are basically beings above level eight. And if one can really bring his own "world", an old-fashioned quasi-god like Mr. Liu is the baseline.
A strong person at this level can construct his own world to prevent the real world from being corrected. In fact, there is no essential difference between him and a real god.
Coincidentally, when Lu Ping'an thought about it, he found that he actually met the prerequisites for constructing a "world".
The increasingly huge courtyard is one aspect, and whether it is the lamp flowers or the hibiscus trees, they are all his creations and his family. Not only do they contain his power, but they are also inextricably linked to his "kingdom of God".
Perhaps, if he just lifted the restrictions and let the courtyard begin to corrode the earth, he could create a "secret realm", a miniature kingdom of God that belonged to him. Perhaps, he also needed a church.
"safe trip!!"
The big cat's voice broke Lu Ping'an's thoughts and made him wake up instantly, breaking out in a cold sweat.
"Why would I think this way? Why would I take the initiative to alienate the Earth?"
Lu Ping'an was a little scared. He felt that at this moment, he was no longer Lu Ping'an.
But big cats can understand.
"This is your instinct, your divinity. If you don't want to become a god for no apparent reason, then hold back."
Gods, or beings that possess part of the world's principles, will instinctively urge themselves to "verify" the principles they possess, so that they can become the true natural principles of the world through proof of their truth.
Evil gods and quasi-gods must constantly face this impulse, or their rationality will be swallowed up by this impulse and they will no longer be able to suppress it one day. This is the evolutionary instinct of "life".
Lu Ping'an nodded silently. He knew that this was the result of his own excessive pressure. With the expansion of "certain created groups", Lu, who had become a true creator, had already gathered all the chips to become an eighth-level or even higher. Now it was these forces themselves that were eager to evolve and become complete, and they were trying to seduce Lu Ping'an himself.
"Half of the quasi-gods went crazy at this stage. They were unable to ascend to godhood but were tortured by the urge to prove their truth. In the end, they either voluntarily destroyed themselves or were swallowed up by the power."
When Big Cat said this, she was very serious. She really didn't expect that Lu would have to face her biggest worry so soon.
In the world of professionals, if you don’t make progress, you will die. If you progress too fast and cannot control it, you will also be doomed.
".I still need to use this power."
After thinking about it, Lu Ping'an still couldn't refuse this "temptation". At a time when the world needed more naval power, he couldn't refuse this power.
"You want to start your own kingdom of God on earth?"
"No, just trying to infect a 'holy place'."
Lu Ping'an hesitated and pointed to Sunan Mountain on the map. It was the suburban area of the ancient city. There were also several large secret realms and garrisoned military areas.
It is difficult to create an alien world from scratch, but the road is now safe, and it can be done by simply infecting and controlling the existing alien world.
Most importantly, this is one of the tributaries of the Yangtze River.
The shipbuilding industry is either located along the coast or along the river. At a time when coastlines are generally unsafe, it is natural to choose a riverside location. This is also the fundamental reason why Lu Ping'an and the Dongguo government both plan to invest in the ancient city.
This is not because the ancient city is blessed with a deep-water port, but quite the opposite. It is precisely because of the port area that is convenient for large ships to berth that the ancient city became an industrial center in the past.
After all, whether in the past or now, heavy industry and equipment manufacturing are extremely dependent on shipping, and those oversized goods are too painful and slow to rely on land transportation.
If you flip through the map, you will find that no matter which world line you are in, the industrial towns along the rivers all have very high-quality port areas.
Even without considering modern heavy industry, in the era of wooden ships and sailboats, areas with docks and freight transportation could easily become new towns with concentrated populations.
The location chosen by Lu Ping'an is probably one of the satellite cities of the ancient city, just downstream of its port area. If it can be developed well, it will be another new development zone. If it really becomes a shipbuilding and arms base, a quick calculation will show that it can provide employment for a million people without any problem.
At this moment, Lu Ping'an deeply realized that he could now change the life and death, prosperity and decline of a city or a region with just a few words.
"What about safety? As a military equipment production area, it must be given special attention. The fish people will definitely go up the river."
"It doesn't matter. Even if it is not built into an industrial or military base, the ancient city's current population and industry will still be the target of a major attack."
“Is the dock deep enough?”
"It may not be enough. A 10,000-ton cargo ship cannot be parked there."
"Need to dig a river? Contact the ancient city officials. Is it too late?"
".Let me do it first and ask for your permission later. I will dig it myself."
After thinking it over, Lu Ping'an decided to do the work himself. After all, dredging the river would bring positive returns no matter how you looked at it.
If the ancient city really starts mass-producing warships, they still have to dredge the river to allow the ships to quickly reach the estuary. If they then hire someone to do it, who knows how many billions of dollars and how many months it will take. If they dig it secretly themselves, it may only cost enough for six meals in two days.
"It's a pity to waste the power of high-level extraordinary people. Why not use it for production and making money?"
"That's because they have more important things to do to expend their energy. If the war continues, they won't think about this."
".I feel that even if the war stops, they will still invest their strength in the battlefields of other worlds. They are predators and they can't stop."
"You are quite right, but please stop talking. You are also a top-level extraordinary person. Please save some face for yourself."
