Earth's ephemeris, January 24, 2110.
While Mei Lanyin and her son were staying at the dam, they received a call from Si Koujin, the president of the Wuyue Sect's Chinese branch.
Si Koujin reported on the progress of the plan in detail on the phone.
"Your Excellency, you have received the first tranche of approximately 50 million funds from the General Assembly, and the project is progressing smoothly."
"Because the payback time is too long and the rate of return is too low, it is difficult to find joint venture partners willing to invest large amounts of money within a few days. There are only two public funds on the edge of the desert. Seeing our sincerity in desert transformation, we are willing to use development funds The total shareholding is less than 20%, which is exactly in line with our pre-design.”
"The contracted sand area will be taken care of according to the most preferential policies. Depending on the funds we invest, there is no cap. The minimum contract period is 10 years and the maximum is 30 years."
"The other party also promised to take the lead in handling all procedures, clarify preferential policy conditions, and ensure preferential treatment."
"If the bishop has no objection, we can sign a cooperation agreement today to jointly establish a desertification control company, and the funds from both parties will be in place within half a year."
Mei Lanyin was very satisfied with Si Kou Jin's work attitude, efficiency and results. He thought about it and said, "President Si Kou, how are the breach of contract clauses determined?"
Si Koujin: "Your Majesty, the situation is like this. The other party was afraid that we would not invest as required, so they proposed a more stringent breach of contract liability. On the basis of our original 1 times total investment, we changed it to 2 times."
"Oh, this is better. You immediately urge the procedures to be completed as soon as possible, and I will urge the General Association to get the remaining funds within 10 days.
Also, you might as well quit your current job and focus on teaching and investment work full-time.
The General Assembly will allocate an annual salary of 1 million to you every year. In the future, additional bonuses will be added based on performance. What do you think? "
Si Koujin sounded a little excited: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty the Bishop. My subordinates will strictly abide by the orders and do their best to complete their mission. They will go through fire and water without hesitation."
"Okay, I believe you will be able to live up to expectations. Go about your business. If you have anything, you can contact me at any time."
"Yes! Goodbye, Lord Bishop."
…
At the same time, in the second central base of the Nyalak Grand Canyon, Zi Shu Fuming's temporary office camp.
Zishu Fuming is making work arrangements with the heads of the first batch of 17 solar system resource exploration brigades and three experts in the field of resource exploration.
Zishu Huiding, deputy commander of the 11th Fleet and head of the First Central Base who is responsible for space exploration, was present to listen.
Zishu Fuming solemnly said:
"Everyone, everyone knows that based on the experience of cosmic resource mining, the cost of mining similar life-like galaxy resources is the lowest, the risk factor is the smallest, and the reserves are the most abundant."
"Your mission is to complete the survey of the entire galaxy within three years and submit a satisfactory resource distribution report to me."
"Based on the report information you submitted, we will conduct selection and formal mining to ensure that more than 1% of the mining volume is completed within the final protection period stipulated in the "General Laws of the Alliance" of the universe."
"This work will be handed over to the 1st to 10th brigades, and they will be implemented individually according to the planned route."
Clearing his throat, Zi Shu Fuming continued:
"According to convention, resources in areas near the outer reaches of the solar system belong to the second echelon. Although individual reserves are smaller, they are very wide and the total value is greater than the sum of the entire interior of the solar system."
"In view of the relatively high security risks and high mining costs. This work is handed over to the 11th to 17th Brigades to conduct resource exploration in the galaxy for a period of 10 years. Once a star with relatively rich resources is discovered, priority will be given to mining."
"Invite three big experts to choose a team to accompany them according to their own wishes to guide the exploration project."
The three experts smiled and nodded, said a few polite words, and each chose a team.
For these famous high-level experts, even the supreme commander of the empire, Wu Brand, paid three points of respect. Of course, Zi Shu Fuming would not offend them.
Using the word "please" in your speech is enough to show your attitude of being a courteous person.
Zishu Fuming encouraged:
"Everyone has made a contribution by escorting supplies to the solar system away from home. If this space expedition can achieve good results, your names will be added to the empire's merit book.
General Zishu Huiding is responsible for the overall command and coordination of this space expedition, and the specific division of labor will be arranged by the heads of each brigade.
If you have any questions or difficulties, please raise them immediately. If there are no problems, please implement them as soon as possible. "
Everyone raised their own difficulties, and General Zishu Huiding answered them one by one.
There are definitely many problems and difficulties. The main bottleneck is the lack of manpower. This problem cannot be solved at the moment.
The discussion lasted for a long time and ended near noon, and everyone dispersed to arrange their tasks.
Zishu Fuming left Zishu Huiding alone and explained it carefully. The latter repeatedly agreed and turned around to make arrangements.
2pm.
General Zishu Huiding personally brought dark energy expert Duanmu Yunke and his deputy Sikong Taimin to Zishu Fuming's temporary office camp.
Sikong Taimin thought that his identity had been exposed, and he was always uneasy until Zi Shufuming politely served tea to the two of them in person, and secretly calmed down and breathed a sigh of relief.
For these two old and new combinations in the empire's dark energy world, Zishu Fuming must rely on their unique expertise to help him find the mother stone of the universe and achieve this impossible task.
This was the most troublesome thing for Zi Shu Fuming so far.
The supreme commander of the empire, Ulbrand, repeatedly asked him to personally conduct the survey and do his best to find the damn mother stone.
On the Wubul planet, even the three major forces, the Hijin Empire, the Moore Empire, and the Einstein Empire, have gathered countless manpower and material resources and searched for countless years, but they have not been able to find any cosmic motherstone in the Wubu galaxy.
Asking him to use so few manpower to complete such an arduous and huge project is simply overestimating his capabilities.
However, this is the most top-secret mission, and it must be him.
As a last resort, with the mentality of treating a dead horse as a live doctor, I had to invite these two people alone to have a good chat to see if this newly discovered life galaxy could yield any unexpected and significant gains.
It would be incredible if we could really get lucky again and achieve results.
Zishu Fuming chatted enthusiastically with the two experts for a while, and asked some questions about whether he was used to living, whether he was satisfied with the accommodation, and if he had any problems, he could come to him to solve them, etc.
He doesn't look like a second-in-command commanding an army at all, but more like a considerate community aunt and sister-in-law.
Even General Zishu Huiding couldn't stand that politeness and enthusiasm. He sat aside and suppressed his laughter, remaining silent.
Duanmu Yunke, the dark energy expert, was kind and informal. He was a little surprised to see the Second Marshal being so polite and nodded his thanks very sincerely.
His treatment is equivalent to that of a fleet commander. Although he has no real power because his expertise and jurisdiction are not in the same scope, he represents the empire's technical authority in specific technical fields.
Sikong Taimin was unsophisticated and had never interacted with Zishu Fuming. He thought that the Cishuai had always been so amiable and approachable.
Seeing him serving tea in person, he felt embarrassed no matter how stupid he was. He quickly stood up straight and took the tea cup respectfully, thanking him somewhat restrainedly.
Duanmu Yunke was old and mature, and knew that Zi Shu Fuming would not be attentive to anything, so he took the initiative and said:
"I don't know if Mr. Cishuai needs my and Xiaomin's help. Please feel free to give me your instructions.
As imperial public officials, we are willing to obey your orders and share the worries of the empire.
However, the two of us have no personal strengths and are only involved in the field of dark energy. We will work hard as long as we can. "
What Zishu Fuming wanted was his promise, and he smiled and said:
"Master Duanmu is too self-effacing. You are a leading expert in the dark energy field of the empire, and Xiao Min is also a young hero in this field. It is a great honor for me, my son, Shu Fuming, to be able to get your help."
Duanmu Yunke chuckled and said, "Your Excellency, if you have any questions, please give the order directly. We must obey it. If what you expected is correct, I think it is about the mother stone of the universe, right?"
Zi Shu Fuming stopped turning around and nodded seriously:
"This is exactly this matter. Please keep it secret. Of course, it is not a secret. This is the highest task assigned by the supreme commander of the empire, and we must do our best to complete it."
"This time the empire sent two people to the solar system. The main purpose is to find this cosmic mother stone. I know nothing about it, so I can only entrust them with full authority to carry out this special task."
"I know that this is the best wish of the empire. It is indeed very difficult to realize it. You two just need to do your best. Whether or not your wish can be realized can only depend on God's will."
"In this process, if there are any needs, as long as I, Zi Shu Fuming, can do it, all the requirements will be met."
Duanmu Yunke stood up and said respectfully:
"Please rest assured, Sir Commander-in-Chief, this is a matter between Xiaomin and I. We should do our best. If you have no other instructions, we will go back and prepare immediately. If necessary, we will go to General Zishu for help."
"Okay, Master Duanmu is so happy, I won't waste any more words."
After Zi Shu Fuming finished speaking, he stood up and sent the two people out of the camp, signaling Zi Shu Huiding to send the two people back to their residence.
It's a pity that he is so kind to others, but he is just seeking skin from a tiger, and his wish is destined to not come true.
When Zishu Fuming returned to Earth Star this time, the supreme commander of the empire gave him three important tasks, two of which had been arranged previously.
Items 1 and 2 are not big problems and can be solved step by step.
This third task is the mother stone of the universe. With only two experts and a few instruments and equipment, there is almost no possibility of success at present.
The first two tasks progressed very smoothly. Based on what he understood, Ubulano only provided behind-the-scenes support, and the entire planning and implementation was completed by Dongguo Xiuce, which was completely unexpected.
Dongguo Xiuce's control ability has emerged, which impressed him. He may have underestimated the young officer's management level in the past.
This time I took the opportunity to be promoted to the position of acting deputy commander of the Third Fleet and the director-general of the Earth and Star Administration, with full authority under his control. I also had the intention of investigating to see how thoroughly this subordinate could perform.
Of course, Dongguo Xiuce could guess the intention of his old superior, so he worked harder and harder, hoping to show his most gorgeous side and create a new beginning in the history of the empire.
