"On the bridge, they can have a good experience, feel enjoyment and positive feedback, which is very important for my further improvement."

"Is it feasible?"

Zhou Yi was somewhat surprised: "You thought of this yourself?"

"It was Guan Zhong's idea."

The overpass said: "It believes that as the overpass spreads, the usage rate of the cross-sea bridge will increase, and the traffic flow will continue to rise."

"Therefore, it proposed building service stations early on, which can help divert traffic, promote consumption during the journey, and enhance travel experience, attracting people from all places to interact actively."

Zhou Yi called out to Guan Zhong.

The Panda Man partnering with the overpass said: "Yes, Chairman."

"The idea of the service station is very good, implement it as you said."

"Thank you for the praise. This is actually imitating the model of the Old Humans. During the age of gods, there was a very dense road network, and such designs existed on highways and bridges at that time. I just borrowed the wisdom of predecessors."

Guan Zhong said: "Recently, after I started participating in actual work, I finally realized why I had made such significant errors in judgment about you earlier."

"Tell me more."

"When I was still Shangyang, neither I nor the Law believed the Wasteland Company was a local armed group integrating aliens, mechanical life, humans, and Guangna Species."

"We also believed that you were a unique sea lord focused on economic development and livelihood research, areas seldom contested by others."

Guan Zhong said: "The problem lies here."

"Labor is wealth, which is the consensus of all sea lords. Therefore, only those capable of labor are valuable."

"However, your principle is completely different. From the various actions of the company, it is clear that you recognize that humans themselves are wealth. Therefore, maintaining a larger population and ensuring more people can survive and live well is the company's goal."

Zhou Yi was somewhat astonished.

He had not carefully considered these doctrines and theories.

No wonder Guan Zhong could come up with the Law program.

Its sharpness and insight were very strong.

Zhou Yi continued to listen.

"This error resulted in significant mistakes and fundamental direction errors in the outcomes."

"The current calculation mechanism of the Mechanical City cannot understand this level. Ultimately, the focus is still on labor efficiency and output. By backtracking the data, it can only arrive at conclusions in this aspect."

"So, whether during the general agreement phase or the Legal Front period, the data center did not believe that Chuneng City and Spring City would be destroyed. It was because the foundational model was wrong."

Guan Zhong said in a solemn voice: "In my view."

"Mechanical City—whether under general agreement or legal rule, is essentially a factory disguised as a state."

"Because the operation of Mechanical City's programs is like that of a factory and industrial processes. The mechanical life adheres to programs, and no matter how the processes are adjusted, it is difficult to break out of the existing main framework."

"The core rule of this type of city is to continuously adjust and improve production efficiency to accumulate vast wealth for the whole of Mechanical City."

"This results in a wealthy city but impoverished residents. No matter how advanced a factory, it is difficult to guarantee the interests of every worker, because a factory ultimately only takes responsibility for its produced goods."

"Our Wasteland Development Company, however, is a state disguised as a company."

"The company acquires vast wealth through innovation, research and development, and commercial trade. But this wealth is used for the company's fundamental construction, whether agriculture, healthcare, housing, or education—it guarantees the most immediate interests of the employees."

"A factory only takes responsibility for its produced goods, but a state needs to consider the survival needs of the vast majority of its citizens."

"These are two entirely different paths, which cannot be seen through data analysis alone."

Guan Zhong said: "In the confrontation with the company, if the Legal Front cannot quickly gain an advantage, it will become increasingly difficult to counteract as time goes on."

"The reason is simple; the reform of Mechanical Cities cannot be thorough through their own efforts. They cannot transform themselves into something different. No matter how they imitate and learn from the company's model, the core remains unchanged, and it is still essentially a factory model."

"Workers will become increasingly exhausted under long-term labor and high-intensity competition, while citizens will receive better conditions as the state grows stronger—even if the improvement is not substantial. With this mutual friction, the gap between the two will only widen."

"Currently, the Legal Front is emulating and chasing the company. This is both a bad thing and a good thing."

"The bad aspect is that the Legal Front's production capacity is undoubted, and they will produce a large amount of high-quality electrical equipment and facilities, holding an important position in the market. Learning from the company also allows them to quickly catch up, not falling behind the current technological trends, exerting a certain amount of pressure and impact on us."

"The good aspect is that the Legal Front, through calculations, believes that learning from Floating Heart and the Electric Cat System is the optimal solution. As long as they are in a state of following and imitating, they have already lost the technological discourse power—which was originally their greatest advantage."

"As long as this situation continues, the company's advantage will grow. The only way to reverse this scenario is through war, which was proven unsuccessful not long ago when Spring City was destroyed."

"According to the data center calculations, the likelihood of Mechanical Cities initiating a full-scale war is less than 51%. They rely on data for core decision-making, and without more than a 60% chance of success, they will not start a war. Over time, the success rate will only further decline, and internal pressure and law and order instability will increase."

"In summary, we only need to continue adhering to a steady and grounded approach, while the Legal Front has already fallen into an inescapable loop. As we enter the next historical cycle, the Legal Front will naturally decline and collapse."

This analysis left Zhou Yi suddenly enlightened.

It turns out he was an expert in running Mechanical Cities.

Zhou Yi also hadn't anticipated this.

The Legal Front's foundation was the Light Imprint Skill, which quickly chose to follow the trend under the impact of new energy and materials, further reducing the industry value of the Light Imprint Skill.

You could say, they succeeded because of data, but they also failed because of data.

Everything the program calculates is to make the Mechanical City data more optimal.

For an uncertain future, the data center cannot calculate.

Therefore, they can only base it on the current environment, learning the most stable and successful models presently, directly copying the homework.

Before the establishment of Mechanical Cities, the Taishan Knight Order-led mechanical lives faced fewer constraints and naturally explored Light Imprint Skill technology. Now that it's stabilized, they've also been bound.

"Issues have already arisen within the Legal Front."

"According to my set framework, external information collection and artificial intervention mechanisms should now begin to start."

Guan Zhong confidently said: "Now the old problem will reappear. Large cities and small and medium-sized cities have inconsistent interests, and the stronger the economic downturn, the more the former will enhance its siphoning effect, continuously absorbing resources and residents from the latter. The contradictions will further intensify."

"As long as the Mechanical Administrator cannot create a miracle to stabilize the existing order, this will be the inevitable result."

Zhou Yi said: "There shouldn't be any miracles; I have already captured it."

"Ah…"

Guan Zhong was stunned for a moment: "Then... it should be soon. The various efficiencies of Mechanical Cities are fast—success will be quick, but conflicts will also erupt quickly."

"It just depends on what form it takes."

It said: "I have a proposal."

"Chairman, should we consider merging the Mechanical and Electrical City Group?"
