So under Nashida's instructions, Kavi and the researchers quickly developed a new cementitious material, cement.

This new type of cementitious material can be made by using only common substances such as lime and clay and high-temperature firing.

Compared with the original slime gel, it is much better in terms of safety and availability.

But unfortunately, even such a simple processing process cannot be achieved by the current Xumi.

After all, just the high-temperature firing alone requires a very high level of technical skills to achieve in large-scale production.

Therefore, there is still a long way to go before concrete can be used on a large scale in the construction of Xumi.

"However, according to our previous agreement with Zhidong, they will provide us with relevant technology and products."

But Elhaisen did not say anything final, but talked about another matter.

Xumi is indeed unable to make these things now, but that doesn’t mean Zhidong can’t make them!

They are just some blast furnaces and machine tools. Just take advantage of them during the winter.

"So, for now, we can still use the concrete made from slime to complete some of the more important projects first."

Elhaisen's words were very pragmatic. He neither completely denied Kavi's idea nor agreed to it directly.

As the boss of Xumi, he must balance the allocation of resources and be fair, without excessive bias in any one aspect.

"Since Lord Grass God is here, why don't you introduce your development outline to Lord Grass God?"

Chapter 115 Xumi's First Five-Year Plan

Xumi National Highway Network

This is a plan that Kavey has had in mind since he acquired the material concrete.

Simply put, it is to utilize concrete, a new material, to upgrade the original dirt road of Xumi into a concrete paved road.

In this way, due to the improvement of road traffic efficiency, the recovery of Xumi's trade can also be greatly promoted.

At the same time, due to the shortened journey time, it also facilitates the mutual flow of people from all over Xumi, and objectively connects all parts of Xumi more closely.

From a long-term perspective, building a road network at the national level is a win-win situation with no disadvantages.

But from the current perspective, the cost of pushing forward this plan is still too high.

The current Xumi is no longer the infrastructure maniac. Let alone building a dense road network, he would be thankful even if the main roads can remain open.

"It's a good plan with a long-term vision, but I want to make some changes."

After reading Kavi's plan, Nashida first expressed her affirmation of his spirit of research, but then she changed the subject, causing Kavi, who had just become excited, to suddenly become soft again.

"El Haisen, with our current concrete production, how much can we produce by then?"

After listening to Nashida's request, Elhaisen immediately used the void terminal to perform calculations and quickly came up with the corresponding results.

"How about this, let's ignore the branch lines in this road network plan for now. Let's use all our concrete production to upgrade the two main roads, the east-west and north-south roads, first."

After obtaining the concrete production data, Nashida weighed the issue for a moment and finally made a decision.

Next, Xumi will harden the road surfaces of the two main roads at the same time and pave them with concrete.

The north-south road starts from the southernmost port of Omos, goes north through the city of Xumi, and finally passes through the rainforest to reach the northernmost port of Xumi, Baida.

The east-west road starts from the Huacheng Castle in the east, goes west through Xumi City, Kawanyi, and finally crosses the desert to reach Aru Village.

The two roads together connect almost all the major cities in Xumi. Given the current situation of limited resources, such construction is definitely the most cost-effective.

“As for the names, let’s name them the North-South Trunk Line (Obai Line) and the East-West Trunk Line (Hua’a Line).”

The plan was finalized, and the foundation of the two most important paths in the future Xumi national structure was laid.

"By the way, El Haisen, how is the preparation going for the department I asked you to prepare?"

After solving Kavi's problem, Nashida suddenly remembered something and took the initiative to ask Elhaisen a question.

Although nothing major has happened recently, as the day for the first batch of winter aid to arrive is getting closer, related preparations have also been put on the agenda.

"Everything is ready. For this purpose, I have specially selected economic talents from all over Xumi to form a professional team."

Now that the aid from Winter Solstice is about to arrive, with sufficient resource support, according to Nashida's prior arrangements, it is time to put Xumi's first five-year plan on the agenda.

That’s right, in order to quickly transform Xumi from an agricultural country to an industrial country, Nashida did not choose to slowly develop the commodity economy, but directly chose the five-year plan.

It’s just that this five-year plan has many characteristics of Teyvat.

"The debugging of the void terminals in various places has been completed. At the same time, the preparation work for the planning committees at all levels has also been basically completed. We just need to wait for the aid to arrive before we can officially implement it."

In the later Xumi, in order to lead the national economic development, Nashida chose to establish a National Planning Commission.

But what is somewhat different from the organization of the same name on Blue Star is that Nashida also applied the void terminal to it.

According to her idea, when economic development policies are formulated in the future, in addition to the direct participation of human cadres, the void terminal will also participate in it as a supercomputer-like existence.

This is also a preparation for Xumi's further development in the future.

Of course, due to the lack of economic development data, the Void Terminal cannot accurately calculate all the answers through "big data", so at this stage, relevant policy making is still mainly based on humans, and the Void Terminal only plays an auxiliary role.

But this is already a huge optimization. After all, there is no such bug on Blue Star.

"After careful consideration, we finally chose Mr. Shazzaman as the chairman of the first committee."

This concerns the country's economic lifeline. In addition to considerations of ability, what is more important is loyalty to the country.

In this case, if one wants to understand economics and be loyal to the country, then no one is more suitable than Shazzaman, the "great patriotic businessman".

After all, this title was created by him through his participation in the Renaissance Alliance and his strong support during the revolution, and was finally established by Nashida herself.

"Well, I am very satisfied with this choice."

Sure enough, after hearing the name, Nashida nodded directly to show her approval.

After establishing the leadership body, the next step is how to implement it.

"In this plan, we will take heavy industry as the primary development goal, promote agricultural collectivization, and ensure the supply of corresponding consumer goods."

If a country wants to improve its hard power, heavy industry is something that can never be avoided.

This time, taking advantage of the favorable conditions of the Winter God's Heart, Nashida will naturally try every possible means to develop heavy industry.

Of course, this does not mean that other economic components are not important. On the contrary, if there are no other economic components, no matter how powerful the heavy industry is, it will be useless.

After all, human beings always need to live and pursue a good life, but heavy industry cannot provide these things directly.

You can't let people sleep with a machine tool in their arms and dream about bread while looking at a pile of steel.

Therefore, the essence of this plan is actually to advance both light and heavy industries, but it just slightly biases more resources towards heavy industry.

"In addition, one thing we need to pay attention to is that we must adhere to our own standards and keep the direction of development tightly in our hands."

After listening to the general report, Nashida emphasized this point at the end.

This time, Xumi's prosperity must rely on many of Zhidong's technologies and equipment, and Zhidong's things will inevitably affect Xumi's future path choices.

Being controlled by others is not a good thing. Regarding this, Nashida certainly said that Xumi should go its own way in development.

For example, energy, systems, and national beliefs must all belong to Xumi itself.

To sum it up in one sentence, no matter what happens in the future, no matter how the situation changes, you must never forget your original intention.

Chapter 116 Apep

In the yellow sand, a young figure is moving forward.

After formulating the general development guidelines, the remaining tasks were handed back to Elhaisen, who was responsible for formulating the implementation details.

As a god, Nashida only needs to listen to the reports from behind and does not need to do everything herself.

So when she had some free time again, she couldn't sit still and didn't continue staying in Xumi City. Instead, she returned to Jingshan Palace, took out the fire left by the Great Compassion Tree King, and flew to the desert.

Originally, she wanted to wait until the Great Compassion Tree King recovered and then come with her to see Apep.

But Nashida wasn't as patient as the old man, so she decided to just go all out and handle it herself.

At worst, the two old seniors can reminisce about the past, drink tea and bask in the sun together, and discuss their future retirement life.

So today she had the chance to venture into the desert alone.

"According to the guidance of the fire, and the induction of the authority of the rock, this should be the right place."

Taking out the fire left by the Great Kindness Tree King, under its guidance, Nashida finally arrived at the place where Apep was.

At this moment, Nashida was standing on a sand dune, looking at the deep valley ahead.

Suddenly, the earth was shaking, sand was flying, and the fire in the hand also emitted a dazzling light.

Using her strength to block the surrounding wind and sand, Nashida looked up and saw a huge shadow that covered the sky and the sun slowly emerging from the distance.

"Are you here?" Feeling the ancient aura emanating from the other party, Nashida's expression became serious.

That was undoubtedly the target of her trip, the Grass Dragon - Apep.

"Little god, leave my territory immediately!"

After stabilizing his body, Apep came up and roared like a dragon, spitting breath in Nashida's face.

"Apepu, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so many years. The promise that the Tree King made to you back then may now be fulfilled by me."

Although her words were sincere, Nashida's tone was neither humble nor arrogant.

"I don't need to be saved, especially not by you, God's lackeys!"

Nashida's words not only failed to soften Apep's attitude, but instead made him even more angry.

"Whether it's you or other gods, you only existed for a short time, but you relied on the power of heaven and called yourself the lord of this place."

"Instead of pretending here, you should take care of yourself first. In the end, you will definitely repeat Akhmar's mistakes!"

Apep said these words to Nashida almost in a roaring voice.

"I understand your hatred for me and this identity, but you are very weak now, why can't you let it go for the time being?" Nashida responded.

"Put it aside for now?" Faced with Nashida's suggestion, Apep snorted disdainfully.

"All the pain and taboos I am experiencing now are caused by you, aren't they? How can you let me let go?"

Although this is true, the forbidden knowledge in Apep's possession is indeed the result of the Red King's calculations.

But Nashida certainly wouldn't give up. Otherwise, if she let this guy go back like this, if she suddenly exploded one day, Nashida wouldn't even have time to cry.

"You are sick, very sick, and even mentally ill."

Apep's repeated yelling had already made Nashida dissatisfied, and her attitude had become a little cold.

If this sauerkraut dragon continued to refuse to drink the toast, then she wouldn't mind letting her have a taste of the penalty wine.

"Humph, even if I, Apepu, die by exploding, I will not be grateful to you at all."

After he finished speaking, a gust of wind blew by, raising a cloud of dust again.

"I am different from those ancient dragons who compromise with you!"

Seeing that Apep was about to leave, a gust of divine power suddenly surged around Nashida, and Qianye Fumeng also appeared.

"Oh, you still want to force me?"

Seeing Nashida exerting her strength, Apep laughed loudly, apparently not taking her seriously at all.

"If I say I won't treat you, then I won't treat you. You're just a little demon god, what can you do to me?"
