Chapter 15: Sub-base

...It's still a problem with raw materials, but in the end it's still a problem with too small land area."

Lan Ling'er rubbed her temples in distress. She felt that if she continued like this, she would definitely grow old quickly. Now she frowned more than ten times the times she used to. Too many things needed to be solved by her.

Three months have passed since the maze abnormality was cracked. During this period, the large army dispatched several times. In addition to collecting supplies, they also conducted search and rescue operations on the Western Asian continent. Almost the entire Asian continent has searched and rescued, and the number of people on the entire island has reached nearly 90,000, but compared with the nearly doubled population, the materials found are not as much as imagined.

Almost all the big cities on the Western Asian continent are shrouded in abnormal areas, and these are forbidden areas for large troops. After leaving the big cities, it is really not worth the effort to search for materials in the wild suburbs. Not to mention the amount of materials collected, the manpower and material resources required are extremely large. The entire Western Asian continent is pitch black, which is really not worth the effort.

"So, do you still need to... mine?"

Lan Ling'er murmured to herself and spread out a map. This map is the most detailed map of the Western Asian continent that has been collected so far. This is only a part. In addition to the original detailed information of the Western Asian continent, the large-scale operation of the troops over the past few months also outlined the abnormal areas in it. Lan Ling'er's eyes looked at the concentrated areas of mineral materials that were not abnormal areas in the map.

The Red Sea is known for its rich mineral resources. Although it is not as good as the Chenghai, which has the most mineral species and the richest resources in the world of the Seven Seas, the mineral resources of the Red Sea can still be said to be the second in the Seven Seas. The mineral resources of an island are actually not needed too many minerals, but many kinds of them are needed.

Mineral resources are one aspect, and food is the other... The food for 90,000 people, including staple food and a small amount of side dishes, are all things that must be provided daily. Seeing the daily decrease in the inventory of materials, Lan Ling'er was really heartbroken.

Food cultivation has also reached a certain scale. The three vegetables, grains, and breeding production bases planned by Lan Ling'er have been built on the island, but due to three factors, the output has not been greatly improved. The first is the area occupation. The island itself is not large, with 90,000 people crowded on it. In addition to the food planting and breeding factories, there are other factories. The entire island has become a collection of factories. In recent days, reports have pointed out that the pollution of the entire island has begun to exceed the standard.

Modern production will inevitably have pollution. Although relying on technology can reduce most of the impact, it will be terrible to build so many factories on a small island. If this problem is not solved, then these chemical pollution will sooner or later undergo a qualitative change.

Then there is the issue of fertility, but Lan Ling'er was not considerate at the beginning. There are not many entertainment facilities on the island at present, nor entertainment programs, or the like. At most, there are computer games, several commercial streets, and an open-air cinema that has only been built. This is the case. The couple who return home on a busy day every day really doesn't know what to do except create a human being. In this environment, it is dangerous and terrifying, and may die at any time. When they settle down a little, they have food, light, and safe residence, and humans will instinctively begin to continue their descendants.

As a result, four months later, the first census was that more than 15,000 women were pregnant, and the pregnancy time was about two to three months...

There are more than 40,000 women on the island, which is slightly less than men. Among them, there are about 10,000 women who are not suitable for childbirth, and the remaining more than 30,000 women are all ages suitable for childbirth. Lan Ling'er can almost imagine that the baby boom will appear in the next year. This island cannot afford so much population at all, and the food problem is also a key...

"Migrate, or... to separate the base?" Lan Ling'er pointed at the map, and hesitated for a moment.

It is almost certain to walk out of the island. No matter how dangerous the Asian continent is, if it is not out of the island, it will only be trapped here. So there are two choices. One is to migrate all the supplies, equipment and population on the island, and find the most suitable place on the mainland for rebuilding. The other is to open a sub-base where you can get various raw materials directly, and then move most factories there. The island is only used as a place of residence for people and a safe private place.

In Lan Ling'er's view, these two methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. The biggest advantage of the first large-scale migration method is that you don't have to worry about land or something anymore. Even if the population is increased by a hundred times, you are not afraid of insufficient land. The entire Asian continent had hundreds of millions of people before the disaster. Many people died in the first wave of monsters. More people were moved to the other two continents. After the tearing and entering the outside, more people died. The remaining 90,000 people were all concentrated on the islands, so don't be afraid of the large population, even tens of millions of people are enough to carry it.

But the disadvantage lies in the danger. There are abnormal areas everywhere in the entire Asian continent, and there are more undetected dangers. For example, when the large army searched and rescued, there was a report claiming that there were wandering unknown creatures, but after careful search, no relevant evidence was found. Although this is the case, Lan Ling'er also used it as an important intelligence collection point, so the dangers faced by the overall migration were much greater.

What's more, the reaction of the people is also the biggest factor. Even though they know that the island is the safest and is currently the only safe zone in the Western Asian continent, then apart from the forced order, it is impossible for anyone to enter the Western Asian continent to live and survive. Even if Lan Ling'er can use the forced order to perform the large migration, the negative impact is too great. As the saying goes, it is not worth the loss.

So... is it divided into bases?

"... As I mentioned, the advantage of sub-base lies in safety. In addition to necessary factories, processing sites, and planting sites, there is no need for too many livelihood buildings. In this way, the pressure on defense will be very small. I also said that it is inconvenient. After all, no one wants to leave the island, and it is very difficult to recruit a union. Even if the credit points provided are ten times more than ten times, I don't think anyone will respond..."

Lan Ling'er looked at the dozens of people below, and she bluntly told the advantages and disadvantages of the two solutions, and also looked at the dozens of people.

These people are government talents promoted by Lan Ling'er in recent months. The current leadership team led by Lan Ling'er is almost equivalent to a temporary government framework. The army has another team, led by the brothers of Cang Huadao Ren, but they will also obey Lan Ling'er's instructions. Therefore, the current human society of 90,000 people is basically operating according to Lan Ling'er's wishes.

Dozens of people were thinking about Lan Ling'er's words carefully. One of them said at this time: "I personally agree with the large-scale migration. Although it will trigger protests from the people, it will not move now. As the population increases, the food pressure increases and factory pollution increases. If you want to move, you will pay more costs. Now you should start planning the migration immediately."

"What about the danger?" An official from a distance asked immediately: "What are the dangers outside? No one of us knows. Shouldn't the information that the unknown creature wanders on the mainland be carefully considered? I personally agree with the sub-base. As for the workers, on the one hand, we can increase the investment in credit points, on the other hand, we can create typical examples, and we can first let some soldiers participate in production. At the same time, these soldiers are also the defensive force of the sub-base."

"Ha, soldiers produce and defensive forces? What should I do if that island?" Another official sneered: "I don't know what others think. I will never leave the island anyway. Since even I have decided like this, do you really try it with administrative orders? Although we can suppress it, there are only so many of us. Who do you want to suppress it? And the army will agree to suppress it? How many people have married wives? How many people are there in it?"

Lan Ling'er listened to them refuting and discussing each other. Although she was a little angry, she was still in the tolerant range. After waiting for a long time, she suddenly took out a document and said, "Although there has not been a vote yet, I personally agree with the base..."

After she said this, about half of the officials below changed their faces. Several of them sat closest to Lan Ling'er, who seemed to have the most powerful ones already planned to speak. Lan Ling'er immediately took the document and said, "This is a document I got from the science team, called the ultra-electromagnetic track car. Each of them copied one, so everyone can take a look first."

Someone next to him passed a copy of the document, and everyone looked at it carefully. After not long, some people looked happy, some people were thinking, and some people were in a state of uncertainty.

"This is a science and technology of the United States of China. It was obtained from the Red Queen's Base. Although it was obtained, it has not been used because of the consortiums that control energy, transportation, etc. and the chaebols. It uses ultra-electromagnetic levitation technology, which runs at a height of 300 meters. It does not require materialized tracks. The energy supply throughout the journey is very fast. The time between the starting point and the end point is very short. My personal meaning is to build stations on the island and the sub-base, and then apply this technology. The workers go to the sub-base to work for eight hours every day, and then use this means of transportation to return to the island. Several alert posts can be built between the two places, guarded by the army, so that safety can be ensured..."

After saying this, Lan Ling'er looked at the expressions of these officials. She had a clear mind and said with a smile: "Then now..."

"Vote."
