Six billion is not a lot for a country, but it is troublesome enough to get things done.
In addition to banks, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and various manufacturing companies participated.
When the process was arranged, the world doors were closed.
There will be a preparation period of about half a year. This part is mainly about negotiations and the mobilization of local labor force, as well as the adjustment of production by the manufacturers.
Internal combustion engines are easy to use and relatively mature in production, but the cost of fuel has to be considered.
The calorific value of one liter of oil exceeds 30 million joules. Even if the kinetic energy conversion rate is only 40%, it is equivalent to an animal working for more than ten hours. Even if shipping personnel, ground handling losses and aircraft depreciation are added, it is actually a good deal.
The problem is that it is too easy to use and may lead to a local oil shortage.
The reasons can be various, such as insufficient transport capacity due to the slow speed of glider aircraft, insufficient number of aircraft, or the local need for oil for something else, such as mining.
The bidding competitiveness of farmers is definitely not as competitive as that of mines and large-scale factories. In addition, the cooling may lead to the need to burn some oil to heat the poor. The possibility of tractors running out of oil must also be considered in advance.
Just add a magic-driven transmission assist device and that's it.
In the domestic and southern areas, ground vehicles basically do not consider the mixing of internal combustion engines and magic, because they are close to the oil source. There are more than 20 aircraft that can arrange hundreds of tons of oil in a day.
If the same aircraft has a mileage of 200 kilometers, the number of sorties per day will be reduced from three to two, and the pilot will have to maintain a longer concentration time.
The pain point of fuel can only be transported by glider, so a small increase in distance will lead to a significant reduction in fuel supply.
The fundamental solution to the problem is to implement ground transportation across multiple islands.
But there is also a problem here, the road.
There are two relatively mature ways to transport oil on the ground.
One is a heavy-duty truck refueling tank semi-trailer. With more than 20 tons of oil in this vehicle, even if it supplies fuel to a heavy truck, it is enough to run hundreds of thousands of kilometers with a full load, and the mileage of a light truck will be doubled.
The other is transported in the form of oil barrels using a light truck, which is the same as the light truck sold to the main world in the southern area. The efficiency is average. The advantage is that the purchase cost is the lowest among all modes of transportation. Light trucks are priced in Phoenix coins. Cheap new cars can be bought for several thousand yuan, and the most expensive ones are only more than 30,000 yuan. Even if the heavy-duty truck does not count the luxury version that is comparable in price to a glider, the standard sales format of an ordinary truck with three semi-trailers starts at 100,000 yuan.
Both types of vehicles are not suitable for running on mountain roads. The heavy truck is too heavy, but the light truck is better. It also needs to follow the horse-drawn road. A few bumps when transporting goods may damage the shock absorbers.
The roads on each floating island are not only in disrepair, but the areas near the edges of the floating islands have also experienced deformation, collapse and other changes. Some places that were originally ground access are not necessarily suitable for building ferries now.
Road issues are not coordinated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and others are willing to repair them. Many small lords will care more about safety issues.
The gradual spread of aircraft is because the Aviation Administration has adhered to the principle for many years that all aircraft are not allowed to land outside the airport in non-emergency situations, and will not take off and land vertically like the military. This set of standards has also spread to various places along with the sales of aircraft. Gradually, overseas lords have become accustomed to the fact that as long as they manage the airport well, they will be fine.
But vehicles are different. Who knows if there will be a group of bandits escaping to an important location in the carriage.
It is useless for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Phoenix Kingdom to provide guarantees on similar matters. Unless some insurance company comes in, the safety concerns of various places can be alleviated.
The problem is, who is too full to buy insurance when the demons may break in at any time? Isn't that looking for bankruptcy?
In short, ground-through transportation is not yet possible. The goods can only be handed over at the ferry and continue to be transported by people and vehicles on the local floating islands. This kind of efficiency is even worse than that of gliders.
Fortunately, there are more than twenty floating islands in and around the southern area. Due to previous transactions with the main world, the scale of the ferry has increased. It is said that some strange passage agreements have been signed between them.
Some agreements seemed unreasonable to Wang Qi, but they actually existed.
For example, the site of the previous temporary gate signed a "Memorandum of Temporary Transfer of Vehicle Use Rights" with surrounding floating islands.
It stipulates that after arriving at the local port, the light truck from other places can be handed over together with the goods. The driver and accompanying personnel will register at the ferry and drive a light truck of the same brand back. The same is true vice versa. To pick up the goods back from the place, they must drive a light truck. A light truck of the designated brand came over.
This agreement effectively avoids the costs and losses caused by reloading and unloading goods. The weird thing is that there are only two types of light trucks on the local floating island, namely the 1.5-ton and 3-ton versions of the "Pilates" brand.
Wang Qi doesn't feel that his own light truck factory has been left out. After all, trucks are no better than vans and are indeed not easy to transport by air. They can only be spread out with the construction of the ferry. Moreover, the main overseas buyers of his own vehicles have always been in the Mitan City area.
The problem is that with the proliferation of overseas assembly technology over the years, there are other places in the southern region that also produce light trucks. Perhaps they were not selected because their reputation was not good enough?
The Pilates factory itself not only produces 1.5-ton and 3-ton light trucks, they also produce vans and 1.8- to 3-ton bulk trucks (box-type).
Therefore, this agreement is equivalent to mandating that the surrounding floating islands can only be entered and exited by the two types of trucks they use.
Fortunately, there is no limit on vehicle mileage, otherwise I would not know how to implement the memorandum after signing it.
The construction of ferries and ground transportation capacity in this area of the southern region is a positive effect brought about by the reduction in production and harvest failure caused by cooling, which has released a large amount of agricultural labor. It will gradually release air transportation capacity to transport non-oil cargoes.
This change has an unexpected benefit for the target areas of this agricultural transformation, which is a sharp decline in aircraft purchases.
In this way, the air transport capacity in the target area can be appropriately increased.
It will last for at least two years. When the renovation project in Shanwoli starts to produce results, we will probably try to increase the ground transportation capacity.
In order to send money out, there are countless coordination tasks.
After two months of busy work, we are finally on the right track, and two floating islands have entered the construction period ahead of schedule.
In order to facilitate file management, this area is collectively called the "Luna Mountains". It is the main water supply area in the middle reaches of the Luna River and has many tributaries. The former Luna River also passed through this section before it became a super river.
The two companies that were the first to eat crabs each provided several locations. The largest one covered an area of more than ten square kilometers. It could not even be called a mountain nest. However, an on-site inspection found that the local temperature was indeed more than four degrees higher than the average temperature outside.
The work method is relatively rough, directly clearing out the fire breaks and then burning the wasteland.
Burning the wasteland is uncivilized, but it is efficient and fertile after burning. Moreover, magic devices are deployed when the wasteland is burned, which can store more heat in the ground and reduce the overall investment cost of magic equipment.
As for the money, most of it is circulated in the city account of Obsidian Bank, and a small amount is airlifted to the local area in the form of physical currency to pay wages. The lord can deduct a little, but has made a written guarantee that the money received by the laborers will not be lower than overseas. minimum wage standard.
