"What are you trying to say?" the Old Commander asked.
"What I mean is, it has closed. At least in this world, we no longer need to worry about unknown enemies. Besides, based on the characteristics of this Teleportation Gate, it will not expand unless Red Mad Wolf passes through it."
"Then we probably do not need to worry about the other Teleportation Gate buried beneath the mountain. It cannot affect us at all. It is basically as good as nonexistent. By the time they dig it out, nuclear radiation will be waiting for them."
"Even if they deal with all that, we will still have enough time to secure an absolute advantage. Many of this world's special minerals should be immensely beneficial to us."
"So, we should speed things up now." Jiang Yan Hai laid out everything he wanted to say.
The Old Commander and the others fell silent in thought. They definitely needed to consider the matter. Accelerating progress essentially meant making contact with this world's ordinary people sooner.
Once contact was accelerated, the amount of supplies required would be enormous. A market of twenty million people, an utterly empty market—while they could not put every kind of product on sale at the beginning, it would still greatly stimulate the domestic economy.
More importantly, factories here could already begin construction, and basic minerals and other resources could be shipped back directly.
Based on their early investments, since people from that world could not come over, they could initially even adopt the same strategy Jiang Yan Hai had used—issuing IOUs in exchange for supplies. As that gradually evolved, it was, plainly speaking, currency.
In the early stages, they could use simple supplies to exchange for massive amounts of labor and numerous minerals. The cost was so low that it
