In the Apocalypse, Hoarding Supplies with the System's Hundredfold Critical Hits

Li Ming's desalination plant was producing fresh water for the survivors every day, which aroused the envy of many other forces.

In the extreme heat, the value of fresh water was beyond doubt, as it was a matter of life and death. Countless forces believed that Zhongxing Chamber of Commerce was still too benevolent, even considering the survival of these ordinary survivors.

If they had this ability, the price of fresh water would be at least 5 points per ticket. You could buy it or not. If you didn't buy it, you could just wait to die of thirst.

But they didn't understand the deep meaning of Li Ming's actions. Li Ming knew very well that the vast majority of the population of the entire Tianhui Empire was now concentrated in the areas near the coast.

The population of the Malga region alone had increased from 30 million after the end of the extreme cold to 80 million now, more than doubling.

After all, even without money, you could barely survive by the sea, because you could live by scavenging and using sunlight to distill seawater.

In some inland areas, if you didn't have points tickets, you would really die. Or, even if you had money, you might not be able to get water.

The groundwater in some inland provinces and regions was about to dry up, so these survivors flocked to the coast to survive.

In addition, Li Ming cleared all the roads and cracked down on the road bullies and bandits along the way. Except for a few who were executed, most of the rest became Li Ming's free labor.

Li Ming had to use these criminals to death.

With smooth roads and Li Ming's army patrolling back and forth in sidecar motorcycle teams, the security improved again. Countless survivors in the inland areas, as long as they had some supplies and points tickets, would basically choose to rush to the coast to escape.

Li Ming would also set up checkpoints along the road to conduct some simple checks on these survivors and then issue entry and exit cards.

At the same time, there were service areas along the way that could provide supplies to the survivors. Of course, the price was slightly higher than the normal price, but for the survivors who lacked supplies but had points tickets, this was very convenient.

Thus, under various favorable conditions, the survivors would involuntarily flock to the coast in large numbers.

Currently, the population of the entire Tianhui Empire has decreased from 2 billion after the end of the extreme cold to 1.7 billion now. The vast majority of these 1.7 billion people will rush to the coast. In the future, the coast will be the most prosperous area for a period of time.

This is also the reason why Li Ming increased the number of light infantry divisions in the coastal cities. There must be enough troops to maintain law and order and social stability.

However, so many people flocking to the coastal cities will undoubtedly bring huge pressure. These people are a huge powder keg that will explode at any moment.

Therefore, Li Ming will try his best to let these bottom-level survivors survive on the coast, prevent the powder keg from exploding, and constantly cool the powder keg.

The other forces who are thinking about making a fortune, how can they understand these?

If they really did this with so many people, it would definitely trigger more terrifying violent incidents. This is almost a certainty.

The reason why there has not been a major turmoil in the coastal cities is that Li Ming's Chamber of Commerce has played the role of a stabilizing force.

To some extent, Li Ming has indirectly saved those forces.

..........

With the completion of Li Ming's second batch of desalination plants, the survival water is no longer a huge problem for the survivors as a whole.

The sea is an inexhaustible treasure trove. Not only can seawater be distilled to obtain fresh water, but many destitute survivors also make sea salt from the sea and pick up some dead fish on the beach to survive, and even slowly start to have some urgent needs. It can only be said that life is getting better little by little.

Li Ming's fresh water sales points are also increasing. In addition to these fixed sales points, there are also mobile sales points. Anyway, his vehicles are equipped with solid-state batteries, and he has no shortage of electricity. Therefore, the number of his mobile water sales vehicles has also begun to increase. It can be said that Li Ming's Chamber of Commerce is guaranteeing the drinking water supply for more than one billion people.

With so many people, even if each person consumes only one point ticket per day, this is an astronomical figure. With the income from selling water, Li Ming's overall financial situation is getting better and better.

Soon, a new idea began to take shape in Li Ming's mind.

"Come on, immediately invite experts in marine salvage. I have some things I need to consult!"

"Yes!"

Secretary Wang quickly notified by phone. About half an hour later, six professionals arrived outside Li Ming's office.

"Report to the Commander, six experts have been invited!"

Li Ming nodded, "Please come in!"

Soon, the six people were invited in. Li Ming began to invite the six people to sit down, and then he asked, "You are all specialized experts. I have some things I need you to help me advise on!"

One of the experts asked, "Commander, just ask directly. We will definitely provide reasonable suggestions and solutions based on what we know!"

Li Ming nodded and said, "That's good. The main reason I invited the six of you here is to ask if our current technical level can salvage sunken ships or some containers and other materials that have sunk to the bottom of the sea?"

The six experts looked at each other, and finally a bald expert with glasses said, "Commander, technically speaking, this is not very difficult for us."

"After all, we are currently the only force with a relatively complete industrial system in the world. Salvaging sunken ships and some containers is not too difficult."

"Oh, Elder Chen, what is the approximate tonnage of sunken ships that our current technical equipment can salvage?"

"Commander, do you want to salvage warships that sank into the sea during the disaster?"

"Yes, I think these warships should still have some value. Maybe some warships are not even damaged, but were just overturned by typhoons and tornadoes."

"Commander, this matter is not very difficult technically. At the current technical level, the largest sunken ship we can salvage is about 100,000 tons. This is the largest, but it will take a long time to salvage such a sunken ship."

"I am preparing to salvage the warships of the Tianhui Empire that were lost in typhoons and other disasters, as well as some sunken merchant ships, freighters, and containers in major ports around the world. I need you to come up with some solutions!"

"Commander, don't worry, we will do it right away!"
