After a long period of planning and design, the Siam Science Branch now has the largest database base in the Daxia Empire.
Among them, Icarus’ contribution is indispensable.
This is also the reason why Gray Feng and other artificial intelligences gathered here.
The Academy of Science on the main star is undoubtedly the best, but since the orbit around the star is under construction, key projects have been transferred to other areas to continue development to avoid unnecessary impacts caused by large buildings.
In the core area of Siam Colony, a high-transparent glass garden is located here. Among the trees, birdsong can be heard from time to time.
The architectural layout is rigorous and integrated according to local conditions. To others, it would be easy to recognize it as a holiday home.
In the command room, the light and shadow of the trees are scattered, and a faint scent of sandalwood circulates. It is the unique fragrance of the woods in the Siamese colony.
After more than ten days of voyage, Chu Hua also successfully arrived at Fuhua Administrative District. At this time, he was reviewing imperial data and observing trends in the command room.
This is considered his daily official work. Although he will not focus on detailed data, he can at least be aware of other people's reports.
In addition, developments in other empires also contribute to discussions of imperial decision-making.
And today is also the day of long-awaited conclusion.
After working on the L-sector for so long, I should finally have gained something.
Just as Chu Hua was scrolling through the chat channel and lamenting some people's fantastic idea of unemployment tax, the door to the command room opened.
Following the crisp footsteps, Chu Hua stood up slowly and opened his hands: "Ha, long time no see, Cortana."
Facing Chu Hua's smiling face, Cortana came to Chu Hua helplessly.
"Your Majesty, please don't take such risks next time."
In the communication, Cortana mentioned this topic more than once, but this time she said it in person, with a somewhat serious tone.
Regarding this topic, Chu Hua laughed sarcastically: "Some things are beyond my expectation."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned to look at the girl following Cortana, and said unexpectedly as if to change the subject: "Oh, she is your chosen successor?"
When the girl heard His Majesty's words, she quickly lowered her head and said respectfully: "I am Xiren and I have met Your Majesty!"
Although her attire is somewhat similar to Cortana's professional attire, it is hard to hide the imitation, just like a child wearing adult clothes, which is a bit interesting.
Cortana nodded and touched Xiren's head: "It's too early to say who will be her successor. Let's see how hard she works."
"I'll do my best!" Xiren replied immediately, perhaps to prove that he could live up to expectations.
After hearing this, Cortana and Chu Hua looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
"It's still quite energetic." Chu Hua commented.
From a practical point of view, Cortana has been in office for more than five years, even though the average life span of people in the interstellar era is much higher and the aging of their appearance has slowed down.
But in comparison, you can still see a trace of time hanging on Cortana's face.
Miraculously, Chu Hua still looks the same as before, looking as young as Xi Ren's same age.
From the outside, Cortana is now a bit like everyone's elder.
As if to confirm this sentence, Cortana smoothed her hair and looked up at Chu Hua, preparing to report on her work.
"Okay, enough chatter, let's start today's work."
Chu Hua nodded, indicating that the other party could start.
In addition to reporting, the General Star Governor's work report also means asking the ruler for instructions.
But this time with an assistant, Cortana didn't have to look through the information. One message after another appeared in front of her and landed on the podium.
"First of all, I would like to congratulate you on the successful conclusion of the Xingxia Award established by His Majesty, which has also brought us great glory."
Cortana pointed to the many cultural data that had grown as a result of the Xingxia Award and praised with satisfaction.
"The rental rate of the Huadu Film and Television Base has reached full capacity, and many private enterprises have also started film and television-related () industries."
"It is foreseeable that Empire's cultural and entertainment works will be able to achieve good growth again and ensure quality output."
Cultural attributes determine the foundation of an empire to a certain extent. This statement is not an exaggeration.
Regarding this project, Cortana talked with Chu Hua for nearly an hour.
The data and pictures were displayed in front of Chu Hua with the projection, making him nod frequently.
But things are not only good. At the end of the topic, Cortana expressed concerns about entertainment projects.
"Our various policies are indeed beneficial to the output of cultural and entertainment works, but the revenue they bring is pitifully small. Subsidies and high staff benefits make our revenue barely equal to our expenditure."
"I hope you can give me some instructions on this."
Although she said she was asking for instructions, Cortana had already listed several options. The key was to see what His Majesty thought of it.
Maintain high subsidies and welfare, and continue to produce film and television works. With the accumulation of volume, good works will naturally continue to appear. The disadvantage is that many companies will take the opportunity to gain profits and strengthen themselves.
Reducing welfare subsidies and allowing domestic film and television productions to directly compete with other empires is a complicated path. Daxia has already liberalized the standards for entertainment import and export, and it is very likely to get into trouble if you are not careful.
We can also increase exports, use trade in exchange for profits, and then subsidize domestic film and television projects.
It would also be good to shrink film and television policies and cooperate with some empires.
Chu Hua took a cursory look at these options and gave the answer after thinking for a moment: "In terms of entertainment, we are almost like running naked now. Suddenly cutting off the source of motivation for employees outweighs the gain and loss. It is better to maintain high welfare subsidies for a period of time. As for exports Project, we still need to pay close attention to this, the world---no, the Milky Way is still very big."
The incident of Star Gate L was not the beginning of the use of Star Gate, it just allowed the miracle of the galaxy like [Star Gate] that can cross the star field to be revealed to everyone more quickly.
That is the existence that truly shortens the distance of the entire galaxy.
The Stargate Era is expected to arrive soon.
After hearing these words, Cortana also understood what Chu Hua meant: "Okay, I will let the subordinate organizations set up relevant departments."
And when it comes to the Star Gate, it also happens to be talking about the situation in the L Star Region.
After finishing the entertainment project, it was time to get to this matter.
Then, Cortana reported with a somewhat complicated expression: "I have to say that the size of the L sector is larger than we expected."
On the command podium, a projection of the L-sector suddenly appeared.
The four independent L star regions are like four continents floating on the ocean, appearing in front of everyone.
"Based on so many days of detection and data scanning, we have obtained the basic data of the L sector."
"In the L sector, there are a total of 167 independent galaxies with hyperspace channels."
167 galaxies, independent of the outer reaches of the Milky Way.
If run properly, it can be a paradise.
Chu Hua raised his brows, feeling a little surprised.
But Cortana's subsequent words poured cold water on her.
She shook her head sadly.
"What's disappointing is that, except for the L-star area where Nanodragons appeared and has some ecological galaxies, the rest of the L-star area is in a state after the raging nanostorm, with no habitability, no minerals, and almost nothing..."
Chu Hua's expression condensed, a little unbelievable.
"Does that mean that the L-sector we fought so hard for is actually a wasteland?"
Cortana shook her head again: "That's not true. After the research of our scientists and the assistance of Miss Gray Wind, we came to the conclusion that the ecology of the L sector can be restored. It just depends on the level of our nanotechnology. About Tina should explain this to you in detail."
"...Okay, I understand." Chu Hua breathed a sigh of relief, almost thinking that his work was in vain.
After that, Cortana continued to discuss matters with Chu Hua about the L-sector, but there wasn't much () result.
After all, it seems that it will take quite some time before the detailed planning of the L-sector is completed.
After this topic, the two chatted about trade.
As one of the largest sources of income in Daxia, Chu Hua is still more concerned about it.
Not to mention still owe millions of energy coins.
However, after talking, it turned out that the income of the Daxia Empire was still rising steadily without much change.
The debriefing meeting lasted several hours.
As far as Cortana is concerned, this is nothing. A detailed report once in a while is very necessary.
Besides, she didn’t need to report in person every day, so she was in good spirits.
However, the attacker on the side seemed to be having a hard time.
Perhaps because of the occasion, she kept her body tense, causing her to lose her youthful advantage.
She glanced at the teacher who was reporting tirelessly, then at Chu Hua who was deep in thought, and said bitterly: "No, I drank too much water just now to relieve the tension. What should I do?"
