710 、 Collapsing Economy
"I was just about to contact you, Tang Yu. How's the situation on your side?" Chen Gang's voice sounded.
"Wait a minute." Tang Yu tapped on the communication device a few times, then placed it on a device on the base's command panel. Soon, Chen Gang's face was projected on a light screen.
"The development of the base is going smoothly. Now we have more guardian robots than expected." Tang Yu said with a smile.
"Oh? How much more? "Chen Gang asked.
"Haha, a total of 200,000 units!!" Tang Yu proudly raised two fingers.
"Well, this is really great. This number of robots is very helpful for our next plan." After all, Chen Gang is in his fifties, so he is naturally much calmer. He nodded and said. "I have roughly understood the current economic situation. Overall, the situation is not optimistic, but for us, there is an opportunity."
"Tell me about the current situation." Tang Yu said.
"The biggest impact right now is from the ocean. You should know that as long as the kaiju appear, they will release toxins all the time. Plus, the current strategy of the mecha hunters is to block the kaiju 10 kilometers away from the coastline. Therefore, the blood that flows out of the battle will more or less flow into the ocean. Therefore, the pollution of the ocean is becoming more and more serious. Scientists have discovered that eating marine fish for a long time will accumulate a large amount of kaiju toxins in the body, eventually leading to death. What's even more deadly is that the toxins mixed into the ocean by the kaiju are starting to penetrate inland with climate change and rainfall. "Chen Gang said with a heavy heart.
Tang Yu took a deep breath. Grandpa Cai and Datu, who have long known about this, shook their heads and sighed.
"Therefore, the impact of this on the global economy is comprehensive. First of all, the global fishing industry has been devastated. All companies engaged in fishing have gone bankrupt, and a large number of people have lost their jobs. What's more, it has also caused famine in coastal countries and regions that rely on marine fish for food. At the same time, although the kaiju toxin that enters the inland through rainfall is not fatal, this very stubborn toxin will enter food crops and then be ingested by humans. Although there is no clinical conclusion, it is widely speculated that long-term consumption will lead to chronic death. "Chen Gang continued.
Tang Yu said with a grave expression, "So, almost all the industries related to the ocean have been destroyed. As a result, the stock market has collapsed, the banks have gone bankrupt, and the economy is in recession. Coupled with famine and unemployment, these are the main problems facing the global economy."
"That's not all." Chen Gang suddenly sneered and said, "Do you know what people call Europe now?"
"Garden of Eden …" Datu suddenly interjected. His face was also ashen.
"Garden of Eden … Could it be …" Tang Yu suddenly thought of a very bad possibility.
"I think you've already guessed." Chen Gang's voice trembled. "Europe, which is far away from the Pacific coast, is far better than other places in terms of safety and environment. Therefore, almost all the rich people and vested interest groups are rushing to Europe. This has caused the population of Europe to explode. Now, the conditions for settling there are becoming more and more harsh. It seems that these people want to drive ordinary people out of Europe and enjoy the last paradise of mankind alone. "
"Bang!" Datu slammed his fist on the table, causing the display screen to tremble. "Those people, all of them deserve to die!!"
"So they are now trying to play down the threat of the kaiju, anesthetizing ordinary people, and embezzling the funds of the PPDC! Otherwise, how can this atmosphere of people making fun of the kaiju appear without the connivance of the high-level officials? "Chen Gang's voice was also filled with anger.
Tang Yu suddenly showed a gloomy smile. "In that case, the security of Europe is very problematic, right?"
"Well, that's for sure. The indigenous people don't want to leave, but they have to bear higher and higher taxes and living standards. In the end, they will be driven out. "Grandpa Cai sighed.
"In that case, I think they need a very reliable guard that won't betray them, doesn't need to eat, and doesn't need to sleep, right?" Tang Yu said with a sinister smile.
Chen Gang smiled knowingly. "I think this market will be very popular."
"Do you want to sell these robots to Europe??" Datu was shocked. "Do you know what Europe will become if those rich people have robot guards? Maybe it will really be closed and become their paradise! The rest of the people can only struggle under the threat of the kaiju!! "
"I don't care what they want to become in Europe! All I need is their money! I can drive away the kaiju, but it will cost a lot of money! Since they would rather keep their money in Europe and use it to build the anti-monster wall in the future, then I will find a way to dig out their money!! After I solve the kaiju, I will slowly deal with Europe. "Tang Yu said coldly.
Chen Gang smiled with appreciation and continued. "In view of this problem, I have to say that one of your arrangements is very predictable. That is, let Carra Ladames research a crop that can grow in extreme environments. I have already found several agricultural research institutes. Based on Carra's research, we will introduce this crop improved by potatoes and sweet potatoes within a few months. This crop can filter out the kaiju's toxins during its growth. As long as the pollution is not too serious, it can be planted. "
Tang Yu nodded. "Food will be our most important product. The world is facing famine because of the kaiju, and we will become the largest food supplier. "
"Then we will use the Type IV Guardian and those automatic construction machines to form a construction company. Whether they want to repair the wall or build their own paradise in Europe, the business of this construction company will be greatly expanded." Chen Gang continued.
"There is also the use of kaiju corpses. On this point, I think we will have a conflict with the 'Monster Mending Organization'. After all, this is their business scope. Kaiju corpses are rich in a large number of trace elements. After processing, they are good for the human body. For example, the internal organs of kaiju can treat heart disease, their bone powder is a very good aphrodisiac, and their carapace can be treated with alloy steel to obtain a very good metal, which can be used for the development and construction of mecha hunters. "Chen Gang said.
Tang Yu nodded. "In the future, there will only be more and more kaiju. Whether it is the PPDC or the 'Monster Mending Organization', it is impossible to control all of their bodies. Therefore, there are still many opportunities. "
"Coupled with some of the investments I made five years ago, which have already begun to bear fruit. With robot guards, construction companies, food, and kaiju corpses, I believe that we can amass a considerable amount of wealth within a year." Chen Gang said confidently.
