187: Chapter 189 Strong Production Capacity, Key Strategic Point

After the display finished, various pieces of information regarding Australia poured out.

Information on resources, military strength, research, and buildings was all displayed on Su Yang's panel, packed densely.

This time, Su Yang didn't need to exert effort to organize it himself and directly summoned the AI.

"Compile the information for all resources and summarize the key nodes."

[Compiling information for all resources in Australia...]

[Compilation complete, opening vassal state panel]

[This vassal state is in the Middle Stage of a Rank 3 territory and possesses strong resource production capabilities]

[Self-upgrade capability is fast; investing a small amount of resources can yield large returns]

[Further calculating real-time territory production capacity...]

Three thousand units of coal resources, four thousand units of iron ore resources, one thousand units of steel resources.

Is Australia's inventory this wealthy!

After reading the data compiled by the AI, Su Yang was shocked.

Since entering the Forbidden Ground, the inventory within Great Qin Territory had never reached such a volume.

As expected of a resource-rich nation, the amount in this inventory alone was enough for him to consume for a while!

Moreover, apart from the basic minerals, there was one point that surprised Su Yang very much.

That was that Australia could actually produce oil independently.

This provided important help for the subsequent development of the troops!

The Rock Monster race in the Eye of the Earth could not be used to refine oil like the Insect Swarm.

The Great Qin Troops relied on combat to maintain fuel consumption.

But battling the Rock Monster race became just consumption without acquisition.

As the time spent on expeditions grew longer, fuel would become a major problem hindering the troops' advance.

However, Australia, capable of producing fuel independently, solved this problem.

With the addition of the oil drilling machinery, the fuel problem was readily solved.

Aside from the overflowing inventory, Australia's production capacity was also breathtaking.

Although they, like Spain, relied on manual labor for mining, the stability was certainly not as good as automated machinery.

But as long as the mines were large enough and there were enough people, the ceiling for manual mines was far greater than that of automated mining machines.

If this model were used as an independent country, the lord would need to make a choice between workers and soldiers.

If one blindly pursued production capacity without training soldiers, the territory would face serious security issues.

Conversely, if one was too worried about safety and raised too many soldiers while having too few workers, it would also affect production.

How to balance this was a difficult problem for a lord.

But now that Australia had become a vassal state of Great Qin, security issues hardly needed to be considered.

All manpower could be invested into resource production, which could push production capacity directly to the peak!

Soon, the AI displayed Australia's real-time production capacity and the resources required for upgrades before Su Yang.

The current Ranks of each mine and the number of workers were all displayed before his eyes.

According to the data provided by the AI, the resources within the territory could fully allow the mine Ranks to be upgraded to the maximum.

Su Yang guessed that the reason Australia did not choose to upgrade was certainly because they needed to stockpile goods to hand over to other countries in the Alliance.

According to the basic logic of the Alliance, countries would definitely contribute money if they had money, and effort if they had strength.

For a production powerhouse like Australia, the most important thing for the Alliance was to provide resources.

Then, his strike this time could be considered as having cleaned out the Three-Party Alliance's bottom line.

Su Yang chuckled inwardly and immediately ordered Gauss to invest all resources into the major mines and the summoning of workers.

Summoning one Rank 3 worker required consuming 30 units of command points, and each Rank 3 mine could hold a maximum of 800 workers.

There were six mines in total, so the required worker cap for the territory was 4800 people.

Currently there were 2400 people, and summoning an additional 2400 people required consuming 72000 command points.

These command points were almost an astronomical figure for other countries, but for the current Su Yang, they were already nothing.

He invested all fifty thousand command points from Australia's warehouse, and then he himself invested another 58000 command points.

He had Gauss directly summon 3600 new workers, bringing the number of workers in the territory directly to 6000.

Among them, 4800 people were the number working in the factories in real-time, and the additional 1200 people were used for shift rotations and replacements in special situations.

This could further ensure the stability of manual mineral extraction; if tired or sleepy, just switch people, ensuring the mineral veins were mined around the clock.

6000 people, in addition to bringing an increase in production, would also bring a large demand for food.

Su Yang was not worried about this either; Australia itself had relatively abundant food production, and the missing part could be supplemented by his own farms.

After a round of upgrades, Australia's various mines and workers were directly maxed out, and the territory's production capacity was about to reach an exaggerated level!

The production capacity of manual mines changed in real-time, and workers were still being summoned one after another.

The mines could not enter a full-capacity operation state, so Su Yang could not yet check Australia's maximum production capacity.

While waiting for the production capacity to reach its limit, Su Yang had General Meng Tian start the territory renovation.

All Rank 3 ordinary walls were upgraded, and a full 10 electromagnetic automatic ballista towers were installed on each side of the territory.

Australia could be said to be the most important stronghold for Great Qin currently, and its production capacity had significant strategic importance for the troops.

To ensure nothing went wrong, Su Yang directly maxed out Australia's territory defenses.

The wall layout was completed, and an electromagnetic tower and a capacitor were also placed in the center of the territory.

The capacitor could connect to the territory's central power grid, and the electromagnetic tower would distribute power to the entire territory to meet the consumption of the automatic ballista towers.

Inside Australia's territory, seeing this series of upgrades that could be called sci-fi, Gauss's mood became increasingly excited.

He felt that he was truly too smart; he had discovered early on that the Dragon Kingdom's combat power was strong, thus choosing a dignified compromise.

And in the negotiations with the Dragon Kingdom, he was neither humble nor pushy, winning the right for Australia to maintain development.

One could tell from the behavior of the Dragon Kingdom building defensive walls for Australia and upgrading the mine Ranks.

The Lord of Dragon Kingdom had already been conquered by his charismatic personality!

F*** the United States, f*** the Three-Party Alliance, only the Dragon Kingdom was worthy of being Australia's ally!

Only a lord like Su Yang was qualified to stand on equal footing with him, Gauss!

[Lord of Dragon Kingdom: You should have the large map information, right?]

[Lord of Australia: Eh, Lord Su Yang, I have already prepared it for you; all known information is here! (✿◡‿◡) (✿◡‿◡)]
