This census.
Li Dong estimated that Pengcheng authorities wouldn't investigate too deeply either.
Because Pengcheng officials didn't have enough personnel or energy to pursue thorough investigations.
After all, it was just some data.
The Pengcheng authorities would use these submitted figures to assign certain tasks and make arrangements for each individual's company or organization.
When the time came, it might not necessarily be the government that suffered losses—it could just as well be the companies or individuals themselves.
However, Li Dong still had no intention of reporting the full production capacity of the Great Qin Heavy Industries Shelter Base.
Besides, the Shelter Base wasn't even completed yet.
As for the exact production capacity, even if Pengcheng officials wanted to verify it, they wouldn't be able to.
So Li Dong could just fill in any number he wanted.
Reporting even a quarter of the actual figures would already be generous.
This was what Li Dong thought, and this was what he did.
As for others, they probably wouldn't do the same.
Moreover, many of the CEOs, major shareholders, executives, and board chairmen present in the conference hall likely didn't even know their own companies' exact production capacity or output.
They would need to consult their internal specialists—after all, without statistics, they had no right to speak.
Whatever numbers their internal experts provided, these executives would report accordingly.
In any case, in the coming period, companies that secured more government orders would upgrade their technical equipment, leading to improvements in both productivity and output.
The production capacity of enterprises and factories wasn't fixed.
The Pengcheng authorities would then adjust the submitted data upward by 10-20% in their estimates.
Normal production capacity and maximum capacity were different—currently, no enterprise in the Great Xia Empire was operating at full production output.
Furthermore, Pengcheng officials would require these companies to undergo certain modifications to expand production capacity and increase productivity.
The Great Xia Empire was currently the only nation on Blue Star with a complete industrial system—no exceptions.
If production capacity were fully unleashed, even the Great Xia government itself wouldn't know just how terrifying the output could be.
Even though over the past two years, the Far Star Union, Europa Federation, and Polar Bear Federation had been trying to complete their domestic industrial systems, catching up in terms of production capacity was impossible.
Moreover, establishing a complete industrial system wasn't that easy.
Productivity and manufacturing capabilities simply couldn't compare—they were no match.
This led many to believe that relying on the government was the best option, rather than resorting to schemes or calculations.
And the resources the Great Xia government could mobilize were simply enormous—incalculable.
Among the corporate representatives present, some companies might even be directly incorporated into the Underground Shelter City being built by Pengcheng authorities.
For example, certain critical high-tech enterprises.
These high-tech companies were key protected assets for the government.
What Pengcheng officials needed to do was preserve the local industrial chain, safeguard high-tech companies, and protect numerous human elites—only then could they secure humanity's future.
"Finally finished filling it out." Li Dong let out a sigh of relief and glanced at the time displayed on the screen.
Current time:
April 5, 2029, 16:23 PM.
Starting from 3 PM, Li Dong spent a full 83 minutes just filling out various forms, during which he consulted numerous engineers and professionals from his company.
After completing the paperwork, Li Dong watched with interest as the executives and senior managers in the conference hall were still busy finishing their own forms.
Some CEOs or corporate executives were still on video calls with their internal staff, inquiring about relevant data.
This was permitted.
Their video communications were heavily encrypted, preventing any leaks.
Some enterprises or conglomerates were simply too massive, with sprawling and diverse operations—the kind that dipped their fingers into everything.
As a result, many CEOs or executives had no idea what industries they actually owned, what products they could manufacture, or what their production capacities were.
This wasn't unusual.
Having finished his forms, Li Dong didn't get up to leave but waited for further instructions from the officials.
This was also at their request.
The Pengcheng authorities would review the submitted materials from each corporate representative before assigning, arranging, and distributing relevant tasks.
Corporate representatives also needed to communicate and coordinate with officials from certain departments.
Before long,
a specialized official arrived to provide one-on-one guidance to Li Dong on the next steps.
The official instructed Li Dong on accessing Pengcheng's internal government network and had the Great Qin Heavy Industries Technology Company connected to it as well.
He also had Li Dong download a related app on his phone.
Through the internal network, Li Dong accessed Pengcheng's internal platform, where he saw a simple e-commerce interface.
Its style made it clear it was built by the government itself.
Browsing the platform, Li Dong noticed many high-end devices and materials unavailable on the open market were listed here—and trading was permitted.
Even firearms were available.
Though heavily restricted, firearm regulations were already being loosened by the authorities.
After the Extreme Ice Age arrived, cities would likely operate independently to preserve their strength and populations, meaning weapon controls would inevitably relax.
This was mainly to prevent violent criminals from causing chaos.
Besides, once order collapsed, some companies could manufacture firearms on their own.
With minor adjustments to equipment like CNC machines, factories could easily produce guns—it wasn't difficult, and some could even handcraft them.
As for ammunition, that was even less of an issue.
The only difference was the raw materials and primer composition.
But in any case, they could still kill.
Exiting the platform, Li Dong reviewed some publicly available internal documents, such as Pengcheng's Underground Shelter City plans.
The shelter's area was massive, spanning at least a thousand square kilometers.
And that excluded some coastal regions.
But the planning was lackluster—there were no expansions, just modifications to existing subway stations, underground shopping malls, civil defense projects, air-raid shelters, underground garages, etc.
These would then be interconnected, either in series or parallel.
Beyond this, Li Dong also saw the Underground Tunnel Project and relocation plans for coastal residents.
All land within ten kilometers of the coast was essentially being abandoned.
The same went for other low-lying areas.
The massive tsunami triggered by the meteorite impact was highly likely to submerge these areas.
Pengcheng authorities couldn't afford to gamble, nor did they want to risk their own lives and those of ordinary citizens.
After reviewing some internal government documents, Li Dong saw the tasks and arrangements assigned to their side.
For instance, producing a certain quantity of canned fish, canned cabbage, canned pork, and so on.
There were also winter clothing, certain mechanical components, electronic parts, and the like.
A portion of the produced supplies would be allocated to support Pengcheng authorities, providing services to them.
In return, Great
Qin Heavy Industries Technology Company would receive some support from Pengcheng authorities.
Of course, these supplies would be exchanged by Pengcheng authorities for other resources, so overall, it couldn't be considered a loss.
