Fortunately, Li Jiulong now had an additional building in his hands. This was unlocked after the base unlocked the intermediate technology. The construction time alone was as long as ten days. This was also the longest construction time he had ever seen.
This building was naturally the industrial center. When the industrial center was built, Li Jiulong knew that his guess had been confirmed. This industrial center was one of the core buildings of the base.
The industrial center was just like its name. It contained all types of industrial equipment in a country. It could allow a country's industry to be built from scratch. With this building, Li Jiulong's confidence in the future was even more abundant.
Li Jiulong's administrative staff had only grasped some key positions. There would probably be no war for the next period of time, so he should start to develop the economy, industry, agriculture, and so on.
The first thing they did was not to develop the industry, but agriculture and education. The most important thing was to fill their stomachs.
Currently, Li Jiulong had already established an agricultural research institute in the science center, specializing in the research of various high-yield crops. He believed that progress would be made soon.
In fact, most of the land in the Thousand-island Country was in the hands of the locals. Li Jiulong wanted to start an agrarian revolution, but he knew that he couldn't do so. Doing so would only cause great turmoil.
Although he could use blood to intimidate them, he could not kill all of them. He could use other methods.
Li Jiulong still decided to make use of the local advantages to develop all kinds of farms and carry out concentrated mechanized production. In this aspect, the Thousand Island Country was blessed by the heavens.
Naturally, most of the farm owners were from the ancient Chinese. Once this system was established, they could use all kinds of means to annex the land in the hands of the local aborigines.
Food was only one aspect of agriculture. The Western Province was a tropical region, which was very suitable for planting various crops, such as rubber, palm oil, and so on. Agriculture had to be developed. This way, the ancient overseas Chinese could completely exclude the indigenous people of the Thousand Island Nation through economic erosion, making them second-class.
Li Jiulong's way of boiling a frog in warm water made them angry but not dare to say anything. However, he knew that conflicts would break out sooner or later. This was still a hidden danger after all. He decided to speed up the development of the virus. He hoped that it could be completed before he took over the entire Thousand-island Country. In this way, he could live a good life on this land.
Agriculture was only one of them. The next was education, which had to be taken seriously. It was necessary to build a large number of schools for the ancient overseas Chinese and restore their traditions.
The indigenous children also had to learn Chinese. In terms of culture, the Gu Qiao people also had to take the initiative. Although this would take a long time, Li Jiulong could afford to wait.
Then, there was the industrial aspect. The entire province of Sicar was not suitable for the development of intensive industries, mainly because of the geographical constraints. However, Sicar was rich in oil, and the oil industry could be developed.
However, as the saying goes, if you want to get rich, you have to build roads first. This was currently the harshest difficulty that Li Jiulong was facing. The traffic situation in the entire Luo Country was very bad, even in the later generations.
Building roads and recruiting cheap natives to build roads was one of the most important tasks at the moment. It was only ranked behind agriculture and education, but it did not conflict with them.
At present, the sea and air routes of the Western Province were blocked. Even if they had any industrial products, they could not send them out, let alone trade. Without trade, many people would lose their jobs. It was better for the ancient Chinese, but it was different for the people of other races.
Therefore, he could use these people to build the road. Anyway, their wages were very low, so they could still afford it.
With Pontenak as the center, the roads were spread out in all directions. The roads in the coastal cities were in good condition, mainly inland. Other than primitive forests, there were swamps and rivers. It was still very difficult to build roads.
Fortunately, Li Jiulong had an industrial center. There were all kinds of road construction machines, large and small. They were highly mechanized, saving a lot of manpower and saving time and effort.
With these machines, it would be much easier to build roads. Li Jiulong also recruited a group of engineers, mainly for roads. They were responsible for exploration, planning, and so on.
Just like that, time gradually passed. The outside world also paid a lot of attention to the Western Province, especially the government of the Thousand Island Country.
They were already famous internationally, but no country was willing to help them. Of course, Suharto also refused help from other countries, including the Bald Eagle Country.
However, the Bald Eagle Kingdom would not be so honest. The sudden rise of Li Jiulong and the exposure of many advanced weapons by the Red Alert Corps were of great concern to the Bald Eagle Kingdom.
