Chapter 422 Job Positions

I am not disappointed. Take it slow. With development, some things that are lacking will no longer be lacking. They will always be solved. The only thing that is needed is time.

"Wait, didn't we get a lot of titanium ore when we traded with the new human countries before? How could it be insufficient?"

Li Meng suddenly realized this problem. When trading with the new human countries before, the countries sold a lot of titanium ore to Black Flag City in order to obtain contribution points.

It's okay to say that there is not enough titanium ore before, but getting so much titanium ore from the new humans, isn't it enough?

Intelligent brain: "A total of 2.67 million tons of titanium ore, about 400,000 tons of titanium refined, the total mass of an "Avenger" frigate is about 150,000 tons, the first batch of five ships, plus two transport ships, and two batches of warships, a total of 17 warships have been put on the slipway and are under construction."

Hearing this, Li Meng was quite speechless.

No wonder the intelligent brain said that there was enough titanium ore before building the warship, but now it says it is not enough. It turns out that there are too many ships being built at the same time.

Thinking of this, Li Meng muttered in his heart. He didn't order the construction of so many warships. What's going on?

The doubts in his heart made Li Meng ask the intelligent brain: "Why build so many warships at the same time?"

Intelligent brain: "Due to the rapid increase in the population of Black Flag City, there is a shortage of jobs in Black Flag City. Only new jobs can be opened up. Building warships requires a large number of technicians. This can not only train a large number of technicians for Black Flag City, but also bring a large number of jobs. Solving the employment problem, increasing the number of slipways and increasing the number of warships built is the best choice."

So that's it...

Hearing this, Li Meng understood.

That's right. Although the business in Black Flag City is booming, everything has just started. Whether it is heavy industry or mining, the jobs provided are limited. Although the construction industry can provide a large number of jobs, not everyone is willing to do construction. It doesn't matter if the warship is launched two months later, but the employment problem in Black Flag City cannot be delayed.

Since an economic system has been established, it is necessary to maintain this system well. Without employment, there will be no contribution points. Without contribution points, there will be no consumption. Without consumption, life cannot be guaranteed.

Besides, Li Meng will not have many warships. Without a strong military force, it is undoubtedly a pipe dream to establish a settlement circle. There are many alien beast tribes in the Central Plains. If you want to implement the settlement circle plan, the first thing to do is to eliminate the alien beast tribes in the Central Plains. If you want to eliminate the alien beast tribes in the Central Plains, it is impossible without a strong military force.

The "Avenger" frigate is unmanned. Although the internal structure allows people to enter, there is no life support system. The usual maintenance is also completely responsible for the internal maintenance robot. It can be sealed when it is not needed to reduce losses. Unlike humans, they need to be stationed and have to be pulled out for training when they have nothing to do. It can be said that the cost of Black Flag City in raising troops is extremely small.

In the case of being sealed, the more warships, the better. In the future, in order to realize Li Meng's ambition to unify the earth, it is necessary to maintain a strong military.

Standing up, Li Meng walked towards a wall on the right.

As Li Meng approached, a door opened in the wall in front of Li Meng amid the sound of mechanical operation.

Coming to the balcony outside the door, Li Meng looked into the distance, overlooking the Black Flag City below.

With the increase in population, Black Flag City has also ushered in a major construction.

In the wasteland outside the city, construction sites can be seen everywhere, and high-rise buildings are rising from the ground.

Unlike the stone buildings in the city center, the buildings on the periphery are all made of pure steel.

The support for heavy industry has led to an explosive growth in the steel production of Black Flag City. In order to prevent the unsalable steel, the steel city is fully adopted in the planning of the future city.

In the future, the Xiping Lake Basin will become the industrial base of Black Flag City and will become an industrial city.

"Commander, the location of Shangyang City has been found. Should we launch an offensive against it?"

Shangyang City?

Hearing what the intelligent brain said, Li Meng remembered.

Two months ago, the sub-consciousness of the mercenary identity encountered an army that might be from Shangyang City in the Shuangfeng Shelter. Since then, Shangyang City has entered the eyes of Black Flag City and has conducted a series of reconnaissance on it.

Li Meng said: "Are the troops enough?"

Shangyang City is not a weak shelter. It has a certain industry and a certain military strength. It cannot be shaken by mercenaries. It must be handed over to the Imperial Guard.

Intelligent Brain: "The troops are sufficient. The Imperial Guard now has 12,000 soldiers, 200 escort tanks, 500 "Warthog" personnel carriers, and 300 Vulture armed transport aircraft."

With sufficient biological resources, recruiting soldiers of the Imperial Guard is a very simple matter.

The development of the Imperial Guard has always been quite casual. With the existing technology of Black Flag City, more advanced weapons could have been designed, but because the Sky Eye fighter is so excellent, it is capable of all-round operations against ground and air. When the ground troops enter the field, it means that the battle is nearing its end.

At present, the combat concept of Black Flag City is that ground troops are not used for fighting, but for controlling the occupied areas.

Do you want to fight?

After thinking for a while, Li Meng said, "Don't be anxious. The best strategy is to defeat the enemy without fighting. Although war is effective quickly, it will cause a lot of trouble. Besides, the people of Shancheng should communicate with each other. Through Shangyang City, we can know how big the social circle of the people of Shancheng is. In the future, we don't need to spend time looking for other people of Shancheng."

During the exploration mission, the mercenaries used many methods to bring the underground people to Black Flag City, some of which were not honorable. This put the security of Black Flag City to a severe test.

Fortunately, there were no loopholes in the security system of Black Flag City, so large-scale chaos was avoided.

And war will lead to more serious consequences, which will take longer to kill hatred.

Li Meng's attitude towards war is very cautious. Starting a war at the slightest disagreement is a willful act and a stupid choice.

Lowering his head slightly, Li Meng looked at a certain apartment building in the city.

On the seventh floor of the apartment building, in a certain room, a wonderful scene was taking place.

After some hesitation, Wei Qiunan lay weakly on Li Meng.

The two hugged each other, and the only sound of their heavy breathing echoed in the room.

After a while, Wei Qiunan got up from Li Meng.

After straightening his messy clothes, Wei Qiunan smiled slightly and said, "Captain's body is really strong, but we can only go so far today. That girl Chen Beier will be back soon."

Wei Qiunan was naturally satisfied. In the captain, her long-spent desires were vented. She had a husband, which was naturally not a physical need, but a spiritual desire.
