The staff were busy working on the flying fortress, and there was another movement outside.

But this time the kingdom couldn't interfere, because what happened was Gate No. 5 in Fatel.

Weng Ji came to the news and hoped to purchase an additional batch of weapons from here.

Before Ongi became a floating island, the capital was a city by the Luna River, just across the river from Fatel. Although the distance is much further now, the two sides still communicate with each other, and they have become a kingdom. Obtain information about Gate No. 5 The only channel available is at least better than Fatel's frequent failure to respond to messages.

Wang Qi is not particularly worried about the abnormal movement of Gate No. 5. After all, Fate has a certain size, and the floating island itself also has a good anti-invasion effect. Referring to the situation in the main world that was looted by demons, Fate You have ample time to seek outside assistance when necessary.

As for Wengji, it is necessary to save one hand.

The kingdom's own currency system is very conservative in order to resist the risk of collapse caused by changes in the situation, and even suffers from weak deflation, which means that prices remain unchanged for decades and occasionally fall in price.

For overseas countries, this situation is even more serious due to the existence of trade advantages.

Wengji's currency is different. It is almost a complete financial credit currency. The royal family seems to focus all their attention on it. It is not difficult to understand. The seigniorage is too good.

The two currencies are fundamentally different.

The Phoenix Kingdom's currency issuance method is mainly through payment of labor remuneration and tax rebates. Large-scale projects are one of the means to export currency at a pure loss. Money flows from the hands of civil servants, enterprises, schools, and large-scale project practitioners to the society. Enterprises use Produce products, centralize money in their hands, part of it is put into production, part flows to banks, and the tax revenue in the middle flows back to the official to achieve an economic cycle.

This system is very rigid. The advantage is that all the money has a corresponding entity, there is no leverage at all, and there is no risk of being suddenly hit at your doorstep and causing an economic collapse.

Wengji's currency issuance method is much more flexible. At this stage, it is mainly through the banks they set up in various places to flow to the market through loans. Although the money is in the market, it is actually loaned out, and the value holder is still Wengji. , the profit balance after deducting bad debts is the seigniorage, which is the value that Wengji absorbs from the market.

There are some differences from the information society. Wengji's method of controlling currency value is still to return to the entity, mainly by exporting inventory goods to inflation areas to recover currency, so that the overall currency price remains basically stable.

This set of things is relatively fragile, but fortunately it is not completely virtualized, and the leverage is not excessive. It makes up for the shortcomings of insufficient overseas circulation of Phoenix Coin, and its role in maintaining the vitality of overseas business cannot be ignored.

Using the entire penal colony as a chessboard, the Ongi royal family has made a certain contribution. Such a relatively stable leveraged currency will be needed to fill the gap for a long time in the future, so their request will help anyone they can.

Since the Eastern District has already obtained the Heavy Rain cannon, it is natural for Wengji to buy a batch. In terms of ammunition, Wengji's Ruiweile Industrial Group can handle it by itself without consuming additional transportation capacity.

As for Fatel, one family has been the dominant force for too long, so let them fiddle with it first. In terms of production capacity, the kingdom cannot come up with enough to support such a large player, and there will be future troubles.

The next few months were relatively stable. Although the demons were unwilling to be left alone, they made no particularly big moves and failed to fully break through the defense line.

But it doesn't mean that the demons returned without success. Some dust still fell behind the defense line.

Among them, Wengji is in worse shape. There are too many types of flying creatures at Gate 4 in the northwest corner, and they are not as weak as the little devils. Occasionally, a few of them can go around behind and cause some damage.

But as long as the total existing population of the entire penal colony does not decline rapidly, even if it is basically stable, after all, those gates are outside the country, and the kingdom cannot intervene in infrastructure and defense, and can only provide limited support in terms of equipment and technology.

The biggest problem now is still the food crisis caused by cooling.

As the low temperature lasted longer and showed no signs of turning around, people outside the country became more and more anxious. When they couldn't even buy plastic sheets in the queue, they were finally willing to spend money to build a glass factory on their own.

The investment in building a glass factory itself is not particularly high. Even if the tin float method is not used and the product is a little uneven, it is acceptable to build a greenhouse. The real cost is the infrastructure. Without a flat enough road, even if the second part of the house is Sell ​​them a super truck that costs 300,000 yuan a piece, and it will shatter all over the ground just like transporting glass.

Unfortunately, it was too late to wake up at this time. In just a few years, even building a few glass greenhouses would not solve the problem.

The estimate of half of the people in the Southern and Eastern Districts starving to death should not change much.

"Only" half starved to death, but the Ganlin plan played a role.

As the Phoenix Kingdom's largest overseas money and food delivery project, it involves more than two million people, including those who receive money directly from the project and their families. Moreover, the Kingdom has certain interference in the project goals, so it is not free to build local infrastructure.

Plastic cloth is in short supply, but glass production can be promoted through it, and it mainly solves local food problems, and there is no need to make the glass factory too large. There are several glass factories that have been completed so far, but many of them face some road problems. , the production capacity is not yet full.

In terms of greenhouse cultivation experience, the Kingdom cannot be of much help. Although it has experience, it cannot support agricultural technicians everywhere. We can only print a batch of brochures and let various places study it slowly.

The last preparatory work is to appropriately increase the size and number of outpost trees within the territory.

Adjusting the size of the tree crown can only maintain the amount of sugar and nuts already produced. The increase still requires more trees, many of which are in the cities of Pangxun Floating Island that were newly incorporated into the kingdom. Feng Gu also found a piece of land. In areas where many of the original plants died, a few were replanted.

There is no official control, and it is directly released to private enterprises for resource extraction through licenses. Of course, they are also responsible for fertilizing.

Fertilizer is not a priority at this stage, because the cooling has caused the death of a huge amount of natural vegetation. Dead branches and decaying wood are everywhere. If people don’t clean them up, it will be difficult to complete the natural transformation of vegetation ecology under the current temperature. It would be a good thing to clear it out so that the sun can shine on the ground.

The one in the best situation is undoubtedly the weird ice tree.

It's just that when it's hot, we choose to expand the distribution of ice trees, and when it's cold, we have to control their range, otherwise the low temperature will be further aggravated.

The central cooling tower system related to the Ice Tree has also been adjusted. Now the main function of the system is to discharge industrial waste heat into the central reservoir. A series of magic warming stations have been added to the pipeline system. This system was originally only located in The stations in the Ice Forest can ensure normal operation even after the temperature drops to freezing point. The water temperature returning to each factory area is around 15 degrees.

The magic power of the whole territory has increased by two orders of magnitude in these years. It is not known what the subsequent effects will be, but it is better to sustain it first.

Under such an environment, a new world gate awaited in the penal colony.

The position of this door can make people realize that something big is wrong!
