Teacher Fang himself did not give any open classes. He just quietly inspected the training camp. Seeing his own young people growing healthily, he nodded with satisfaction and smiled like an old father.
Nowadays, the students in the elite training camp are all "newbies" recruited after the establishment of the Blue Star Alliance. They have not experienced those large-scale battles, and their accumulation of mysterious value is slower, but they still have four awakenings everywhere.
These elite students also took on most of the tasks on Blue Star, including the elimination of evil spirits, industrial construction, public security and stability maintenance, and low-risk area development.
As this group of newbies grew in size, Blue Star had more manpower... Fang You took a quick look and discovered that some students were complaining that there were too few tasks, and sometimes they couldn't get a job because they were slow. In that case, it was time to transfer a group of elites to the strange world to explore.
After all, the Grand Domain Plan has already started, and manpower is needed everywhere in the Ghost World.
"However, there are many elites, but there are indeed few contract certificates, and some important tasks can only be delegated to the official inheritors who have joined the association."
In this regard, we are still a little short of manpower.
However, if we transfer a group of mature warriors from Spark Oasis, and form unit teams with these elites and masters as the core to lead the quasi-organizational formal personnel who have not yet obtained membership cards to carry out tasks, the manpower will barely be sufficient.
It is worth mentioning that the Spark Oasis is now a level 6 oasis, which is larger than the Sword Flower City and has a population of three to four million, which is similar to the population of most of the old oases in the Falling Star Domain.
In fact, with Xinhuo's food output and high-rise infrastructure capabilities, a level 6 oasis can accommodate not only three or four million residents, but even ten or twenty million, all by just squeezing in.
...
...
But Fang You didn't want to squeeze, and there was no need to do so.
At the beginning, a large number of pioneers were transported to the Level 2 Spark Oasis because there was an urgent shortage of manpower at that time. Now there is no shortage. Millions of people are enough to do anything.
At the same time, Spark Oasis is also the first stop for many Blue Star students to set foot in the strange world.
Many informal personnel who do not have much experience are trained here, going deep into the gray fog area to hunt evil spirits, accumulating mysteries, and accumulating experience in working, exploring, and surviving in the evil world, especially the experience in judging and avoiding danger in a gray fog environment.
Otherwise, if a 'newbie' with little exploration experience is sent to work in a place far away from the oasis, accidents are very likely to happen.
But not every beginner explorer has An Jianyou's talent for "seeing the dark" and the invincible power to kill any enemy.
Being cautious and taking every step carefully is the norm when exploring the strange world.
Therefore, when working in the strange world, experience is sometimes more important than strength.
"In terms of experience and knowledge, I am still relatively weak."
There's nothing we can do about it.
If judged by the universal theory of the strange world, the other mentor is just a novice explorer, not to mention those elites who have only debuted for a year and a half or a year.
What Fang You could do was to compile the information about the ghost world into a book, let every student study it seriously, organize one or eight professional assessments, and let the forging department produce more life-saving props and equip each team.
Well, prepare a safety manual for each team, and that’ll be about it.
As he thought so, he subconsciously knocked on the panel floating in front of him.
A little head with a ponytail popped out from inside, looked up, and sent out a look that said, "Is there anything I can do for you, Xiao Huan?"
Fang You: “…”
"Well, let's check the situation of the first batch of trial operation resource points to see if there is anything that needs to be supplemented in terms of personnel arrangement and defense construction."
…
…
In the western part of the Falling Star Territory, there is the City of Steel.
This is an oasis with silver-grey high-rise buildings, like a steel jungle. Because the Steel City has a good background, in just over a hundred years, the Steel City Lord has developed this oasis into a level 6 oasis, and it is not far from a level 7 oasis.
An oasis can slowly expand by accumulating popularity and taking care of the environment within the oasis.
The Iron City Lord looked at the Oasis Heart in his hand, which was emerald green and looked like a fruit core. It had mysterious and brilliant lines inside and was surrounded by light green light. His eyes revealed expectations and worries.
According to his estimation, in a few decades, the Steel City would have accumulated enough "popularity". However, if it wanted to be promoted to a Level 7 Super Oasis, it was not enough to just accumulate it, it also needed to go through "disasters".
Just like every time an awakener is promoted and breaks through, he needs to go through the "awakening catastrophe", the oasis also has its own catastrophe.
——It is the evil attack on the city.
Similarly, just like the most difficult myth awakening, the disaster faced by the oasis when it is promoted from level 6 to level 7 is also extremely dangerous.
"By then, the Oasis will face the largest scale of the evil tide and will also suffer from 'direct pollution' from the evil world."
"Among them, the evil tide will most likely produce a seven-star world-destroying evil. But if we are unlucky, it is not impossible for a second, third, or fourth seven-star evil to appear."
The Iron City Lord is confident that he can block one seven-star evil spirit, but there is no way he can block two, three, or four.
When it comes to such a major event as the promotion of the Oasis, which concerns the life and death of his own family, the Lord of Steel City dare not gamble even a little.
"There is also the filthy impact from the depths of the strange world. That is even more difficult to describe. There is no direct means of confrontation. We can only rely on the vitality of the oasis itself to resist."
“Just like humans fight diseases with their own immunity.”
"But in general, if we manage the oasis to be more dynamic and stronger, and at the same time, try to keep the oasis intact when facing the impact of the evil wave, we will be able to survive the impact of filth... After a few years or even a dozen years of recovery, our Iron City will be promoted to a true super oasis."
These are secret information that are only circulated within the Super Oasis circle.
If the Level 6 Oasis was directly promoted without knowing the inside story, the most likely outcome would be the destruction of the oasis and the death of its people. However, even though the Iron City had a foundation and heritage, and with a legendary figure like him in charge, the Iron City Lord was still not very confident... He was afraid of accidents.
"When you need to be promoted, you can invite a senior from the main family, but you can only invite one at most."
The Lord of Steel City felt that it was not safe enough.
After all, he couldn't afford to lose! He couldn't let a single missed opportunity lead to a complete loss.
Therefore, the Iron City Lord began to think from the day he was promoted to a myth that he needed to bring in another foreign aid. And in this Falling Star Domain, the most suitable foreign aid is the myth of Falling Star City.
Only with the presence of three myths can the risks of Oasis's promotion be minimized.
However, how to invite the myth of Bolaizemon from the Falling Star City, and how to ensure that this myth can abide by the agreement... these are all problems that are giving him a headache.
Later, the Fire Merchant would appear, and the Lord of Steel City would see another suitable foreign aid.
Therefore, he observed the changes in wind direction in the Falling Star Region, not only to make greater profits, but also to invite a suitable foreign aid.
In the opinion of the Lord of Steel City, the Burning Fire Guild has more combat power, and it is more likely to invite a legend from them.
However, the Burning Chamber of Commerce has only been around for a year, and he doesn't know as much about it as the Falling Star City. He has some concerns. Simply put, the Falling Star City is a large and powerful super oasis, and its foundation is here, so it is more reliable. The Burning Chamber of Commerce, on the other hand, only has a level 3 oasis, and its foundation and strength are completely incomparable. If something goes wrong, they can just pack up and leave... This is one of the reasons why the Iron City Lord was more inclined to the Falling Star City before.
Now...
"Let's wait and see. After all, if our Iron City wants to be promoted to a Level 7 Oasis, it will take at least several decades to prepare."
"Combat power and defense deployment are only the simplest links. Oasis management, resident coordination, warrior training, material preparation, fiscal revenue, etc., all of these cannot be ignored. If any of these links have problems, it may lead to the total collapse of the oasis."
"Oasis management is indeed a worrying matter."
The Iron City Lord took his hand off his scalp and looked at the strands of hair on his palm. He fell silent.
Time passed quietly in silence until a secretary called the dazed Steel City Lord back to his senses.
"Lord City Lord, Lord City Lord...
"The City of Sword Flower has invited us to visit the trial operation resource point they built in cooperation with the Burning Chamber of Commerce. Take a look..."
…
…
"The third resource point in front of us is the Sword Flower City. It is said that this resource point is a large strange crystal vein. If it is mined gently, it will take at least 20 years to mine it all."
"That's not the point. The point is that it takes at least sixteen days to get from this resource point to the Sword Flower City. Even if we take the trouble to open up a 'high-level safety route', it will take at least three or four days to make the trip. This resource point can be said to be quite remote."
The remoteness means that the transportation costs are extremely high and the risks during transportation are great.
Not to mention, the Weird Crystal Mine is covered in gray fog. If you want to mine it, you have to endure the harassment of the Weird Evil all the time. The Awakeners have to remain highly vigilant in this environment. How long can they hold on?
What's more, if too few people are assigned to the operation of mining the strange crystal mine, the mining efficiency will be low. If too many miners are assigned, it will attract more strange attacks, making the mining site more dangerous.
This is a dilemma.
Converting these risks, personnel expenses, and equipment losses into money, it is easy to come to the conclusion that not only will they not make any money, they will also lose money.
There is also the risk that if danger occurs, Oasis will not be able to provide timely support... or even have difficulty obtaining information.
As for large resource points like the Weird Crystal Veins that require long-term operation and mining, no matter how much they covet them, they can only put them on hold, and at most violently mine and take away the raw ore that is outside.
After accepting the organization's mission, Dean Rose, in the name of Sword Flower City, invited several oasis forces to visit this strange crystal mine resource point that had just been built and put into operation.
The visiting team gathered in the City of Sword Flowers and was led by her, the legend... Normally, it would take more than ten days for a team led by Six Senses to walk the journey, but Dean Rose led the team to complete the journey in three days.
She just didn't expect that the legendary Lord of Iron City would come in person.
The vision in the strange world is limited, and a slight deviation from the route may result in a long distance from the destination. Dean Rose continued to move forward, comparing the map in her hand with the real-time map in her mind that provided her with guidance. She did not deviate from the destination at all and was about to reach her destination.
"Everyone, it's just ahead."
It was like pushing aside a thick veil and stepping out of the gray fog into an oasis. Suddenly, the view in front of them opened up, and the warm sunlight fell on the representatives of the oasis who emerged from the gray fog. They narrowed their eyes, with surprise on their faces.
“Is this an oasis?”
"No, this is not an oasis! But this..."
This is so similar!
If the area had not been much smaller and they could not see the sun hanging high above their heads, they would have thought that they had entered an oasis.
However, this is not an oasis, but just an ordinary place in the strange world.
But there was not even a trace of gray fog.
This resource mining site is about an area of 2,000 meters long and more than 1,000 meters wide. It is a bright fog-free area. However, it is still a little different from the oasis. There is no natural water source here, and there is almost no natural vegetation. As far as the eye can see, there are gray hills that undulate like waves, showing the most normal dead color of the strange world.
However, on these gray hills, a lot of equipment has been set up, and there are ordinary miners holding tools, clanging and clanging to mine ore. There are quite a lot of miners. Someone secretly estimated that there are about 1,000 or 2,000 people. But with so many people gathered together, it seems that there is no attack from the evil tide?
Representatives from various oases climbed to a high place and looked around.
A circle of rattan wood wall was built around the mine. The wall was about ten meters high. Guards wearing the combat uniforms of the Burning Chamber of Commerce and the three series of sword flower costumes could be seen patrolling everywhere or standing on the watchtowers to look out.
On the high ground of the surrounding hills, there stood wooden towers more than ten meters high... They seemed to be arrow towers. They looked very ordinary at first glance, but when the sight met the shooting hole, for some reason, the Six Senses strongman also felt a chill.
In the center of the mine, there are four large bonfires burning with blazing orange flames... Setting up bonfires in broad daylight may seem a bit strange, but considering that both Mingguang torches and Mingguang lanterns work through combustion, and that there is almost no gray fog around, some visitors have more or less guesses.
Relying on his status as a visitor, someone asked directly.
Dean Rose is, after all, a noble legend. It is impossible for her to be like a guide, answering every question and introducing everything. But the purpose of inviting each oasis to visit is to let them understand the cooperation model clearly and understand why they can achieve a win-win situation. It is not okay to hide it.
Medesa, who is the vice president, acts as the introducer.
"That is the support provided by the Burning Chamber of Commerce. It is a facility that can dispel the gray fog and make the working environment safe enough. It is also one of the contents of the cooperation between our Sword Flower City and the Burning Chamber of Commerce."
"As you can see, in a fog-free environment, there are very few incidents of evil spirits attacking the mine. The entire mine only needs to be equipped with medium-level guards to easily ensure safety."
"At the same time, under the protection of this bonfire, the mine can fully support one or two thousand people, or even more people working at the same time. From now on, we can mine resources in an environment far away from the oasis without any worries!"
Metissa smiled, her voice gradually rising in pitch with excitement.
Perhaps it was due to emotional resonance, or more likely due to seeing a bright future, many of the powerful Oasis visitors had an unconcealable look of excitement on their faces.
After all, as long as safety can be ensured during the operation and there are no frequent attacks by evil spirits, the difficulties of long-distance mining will be reduced by more than 70%.
The rest, such as the difficulties and costs during transportation, are within an acceptable range.
"So, what exactly is this cooperation model...?"
Someone asked tentatively.
Metissa said, "In the construction of the mine, the Burning Chamber of Commerce provides technology and equipment, and the Cooperation Oasis provides resource point coordinates and miners. At the same time, both parties jointly provide personnel to form a mine guard and a transport guard team."
"The final split is that the cooperation oasis takes 35% and the burning business association takes 65%."
After listening to this, the Oasis representatives fell into deep thought.
Is this too little? No, it's not too little at all! After all, during the cooperation, the Burning Chamber of Commerce will also provide half of the awakened power, which is equivalent to reducing their personnel costs by half, not to mention that the Burning Chamber of Commerce bears the greatest technical difficulties.
In the strange world, there are many resource points that are only marked but cannot be mined.
However, the only one that possesses similar technology is the Burning Chamber of Commerce... Before today, many Oasis representatives had never even heard of it.
The most important thing is that even if they only get a 35% share, they can still make money, and the amount they can make is not small, as investment and maintenance expenses are greatly reduced.
Some Oasis representatives thought of even more possibilities.
Under the gray fog, there are thousands of resource points. Sometimes, the discoverer of a marked resource point may be more than one oasis. In this case, who does the unowned resource point belong to? Perhaps, it belongs to the oasis that cooperated with the Burning Chamber of Commerce earlier and established a resource mining area!
This way, they don't have much time to hesitate.
Although they were anxious, the Oasis representatives still exercised maximum restraint and hoped to gain more benefits.
"Can the share ratio be increased? I mean, if we cooperate, we at Oasis will also have to bear a lot of risks."
asked an Oasis representative.
After asking, he realized belatedly that the person in front of him, Metissa, was the vice president of Sword Flower City, not a senior executive of the Burning Fire Chamber of Commerce.
He was so embarrassed that he picked his feet, but he never thought that Dean Metissa still maintained the elegance of a sword flower person and smiled and replied,
"Sir, this ratio was set by our Dean Rose and the First Tower Master of the Blackstone Alliance after consultation with His Majesty the Burning Chamber of Commerce. It is a unified standard. This standard can ensure that both parties can achieve a win-win situation and win a large sum of money. I think it is a very sincere standard."
Of course, the Sword Flower City and the Black Stone Alliance only took 45% of the shares, so there is no need to mention this to outsiders.
She was right. This was a unified standard for external cooperation, and it could guarantee the benefits of the cooperative oasis... These were carefully calculated by the organization.
After a pause, she smiled again and said, "There is more to the cooperation. Think about it, if we invest in more resource points, can we coordinate the transportation of two nearby resource points? This way, we can save another expense."
"If the goods from several resource points are transported to the closer 'cooperative transit oasis' and then transported together, or if the resources purchased by each oasis are directly traded and allocated, the transportation expenses can be further reduced."
"This is the blueprint created by the president of the Burning Chamber of Commerce, a win-win blueprint!"
The development blueprint of the Falling Star Domain seemed to be slowly unfolding before everyone.
This blueprint is large and contains a lot of content, but if you look closely you can find two words between the lines - win-win!
It's not just a pie in the sky. Everyone has personally inspected the resource and mining sites.
Looking at this scene, the Iron City Lord was excited. He made a quick calculation and knew that there was a lot of profit here. He could make a lot of money if he participated. And the bigger the oasis was and the more resource points were marked, the more money he could make.
What really impressed the Lord of Steel City was the sincerity of the Burning Chamber of Commerce.
Under this cooperation model, the construction and maintenance of the bonfire that can drive away the thick fog are all the responsibility of the Fire Chamber of Commerce, which means that the investment cost of the Fire Chamber of Commerce is much higher than that of the cooperation oasis.
After deducting large expenses, the net profit of the Ranhuo Chamber of Commerce may not be much higher than that of the Cooperation Oasis.
Perhaps, just as the mysterious president said, he is not looking for temporary gains, but for the win-win situation of the entire region.
