Chapter 865 763: Multiple Winners
I can upgrade the shelterThe continuous advancement of the Southern Celestial Gate Project has had a significant impact and stimulating effect on Europe, Lucia, and even Flame Country itself.
As we all know, in order to quickly settle and resolve the issues of disaster victims after a major catastrophe, implementing construction projects and providing work-for-relief is the most effective method.
Besides various scientific research projects, the Southern Celestial Gate Project also requires a large amount of resource investment and industrial output to produce the industrial raw materials and various components needed for the projects. This undoubtedly stimulates the currently sluggish social situation in various countries.
For European countries, the industrial production demand brought about by the Southern Celestial Gate Project greatly stimulated their domestic economic recovery.
The project inherently aims to integrate various industrial systems, production resources, and industries across countries. Therefore, after countries have received their allocated shares, they all actively promote the recovery of their own industrial systems.
Originally, Chen Xin had already implemented a series of measures in Europe to help European countries recover, providing a foundation for their revitalization.
Now, stimulated by a large number of order demands, countries have invested a significant amount of human and material resources, expanding these foundations into new industrial systems.
As for their existing industrial systems, as long as they are still relatively intact and able to resume operation, they are actively restarting under the intervention of official institutions.
Although due to constraints such as time and resources, the speed of this expansion and recovery is not very fast, it has greatly resolved the current employment and various social livelihood issues within each country.
In some originally industrial cities where the population sharply decreased due to the disaster, there has even been a shortage of labor, forcing them to seek labor from other non-industrial cities.
The resumption of industrial production undoubtedly also provides a way for the majority of survivors who were struggling to survive with no jobs or other sources of income to live again.
Although Chen Xin's various measures in Europe improved the living environment, allowing many people the possibility of survival,
the essence of Chen Xin's initiatives was still to serve the frontline war. Supplies had to be sent to the front, and even people had to join the Knight Order to pay the blood tax. For many survivors, the improvement was not as significant as imagined.
The increased supply of materials only turned their three non-sufficient meals into three barely sufficient meals.
After all, countries would not support these people for free; ensuring they did not starve was the limit of official assistance, with more resources going to the frontline defenses.
However, the recovery of industrial production is entirely different. Workers can earn wages through their work, which not only allows them to have enough food for three meals a day but also enables them to have some savings to improve their quality of life, preventing them from living as poorly and miserably as before.
As for the wages they receive, besides synthetic protein blocks for three meals, there are also essential living materials and tokens that can be used to purchase industrial products.
Originally, European countries wanted to continue using the Euro. However, in the current state of Europe, the credit of various countries is as worthless as paper, and even the Euro is too hard for wiping.
Therefore, at Lucia's suggestion, countries simply used the leftover materials from industrial production to make tokens using a stamp press, which replaced currency.
Although some clever individuals soon thought of ways to counterfeit tokens in large quantities, unfortunately, in the current social environment, electricity, resources, and equipment are all controlled and not easily accessible, making counterfeiting too easily discovered.
Therefore, overall, the issuance and use of tokens have not encountered major problems.
Thanks to these measures, the situation in European countries is gradually improving.
The factories have resumed the mechanical roar, and the cities are gradually regaining a sense of life.
This is also a good thing for the Southern Celestial Gate Project, as the recovery of the situation in European countries has resulted in increased industrial output value and resource production. Various resources required for the Southern Celestial Gate Project are being extracted and processed into raw materials in factories.
Some raw materials are further processed into various components, more advanced synthetic materials, or directly into industrial products, which are then continuously transported to Flame Country or other countries to meet the research and production needs of the Southern Celestial Gate Project.
The stimulation of this entire process has formed a new industrial chain.
And Flame Country did not suffer a loss either. Although Flame Country is not acquiring these raw materials and industrial products from European countries without compensation, it still needs to provide payments to these countries.
However, most of these payments are in food and basic living materials, largely produced using these raw materials.
For Flame Country, although it seems like they are supporting European countries, overall, Flame Country does not suffer losses. Instead, the increased industrial capacity of European countries better supports the advancement of the Southern Celestial Gate Project.
After all, even with the pre-disaster strength of Flame Country, supporting the Southern Celestial Gate Project alone would be almost impossible.
Furthermore, without the participation of European countries, many unique European technologies would not be available for the various projects of the Southern Celestial Gate Project, and the involvement of researchers from these countries has significantly accelerated the project's research progress compared to Flame Country studying it alone.
Therefore, overall, the Southern Celestial Gate Project remains a win-win situation.
Even the railways and other transport lines from Europe to Flame Country have benefited; cities along these transport lines have also seen considerable recovery due to the reopening of these routes.
The reopening of transport lines, in itself, has strengthened the exchange and flow of materials between Europe, Lucia, and Flame Country, leading to a gradual revival of interactions between countries, with human society trending towards becoming a single entity again.
This is exactly what the countries want.
Before the disaster, with the development of technology and society, countries around the world had long become an inseparable whole, with complex interconnections.
After all, no country now dares to say that it can completely sever ties with other countries, even though Flame Country has a complete industrial system, it still needs to import many things from abroad.
As for smaller countries, this is even more true; many countries heavily rely on imports and exports, and even a few developed European countries need to cooperate with others.
An unprecedented disaster led to the severing of connections between countries, which significantly impacted all countries.
Now that connections are being restored, it is a major benefit for all countries.
