Lin Xi returned first and brought back a lot of news.
First of all, Xu Hua's physical recovery was very successful, which immediately made many waiting bosses unable to sit still and flocked to him. Dr. Zero, on the other hand, raised the price, and the one with the highest price got it. He selected two big guys and prepared to enter the real dreamland in the next round.
In fact, these two big guys still have nearly ten years to live, unlike Xu Hua, who is in danger. However, given the choice, no one would be so stupid as to wait until the end of life to find ways to extend life. Ten years later, who knows whether the real dream will still exist.
The scheduled arrival time of the two bosses is 36 hours later, and the intervening period is the time for Chu Jungui to find a new flesh and blood totem. Lin Xi also brought back a blueprint. This is a simple device that can perform the most basic cultivation and replication of biological genes. It is the most basic equipment in the genetic laboratory.
This equipment was designed by Dr. Zero. Chu Jungui had been trying to set up a genetic laboratory for the past two days, but was always stuck on the most basic equipment. Even with Kaitian's help, the technical difficulties cannot be overcome. There is a slight difference between real dreams and reality. This small difference will be infinitely magnified at the micro level, and the entire basic theoretical system may be overturned. Even as a test subject, he has been strengthened more in terms of combat and data processing. In the field of real scientific research, Chu Jungui is more than one or two light years behind the doctor.
With the blueprint brought in by Lin Xi, building the first device is the first step to completely uncover the true dream.
There are still small flaws in the blueprint. After all, many basic data have changed since the world changed. Dr. Zero only has second-hand data. Even if he has astonishing talents, it is difficult to make a perfect design out of thin air. But with the basic design drawings, Chu Jungui and Kaitian can improve on this basis.
Outside the camp, explorers were sweating profusely and digging fortifications. But they are not just manual labor. Most of the excavation work is done by two construction machines that can be operated by one person. What explorers need to do is to build living rooms, warehouses and other facilities at designated locations. There are now more than 30 explorers gathered around the camp, most of them are explorers from Part I, but there are also a few who came here because of Part II and III.
After witnessing the camp's terrifying force and epoch-making technological level, all the explorers stayed and put away all their evil intentions. Explorers are not stupid, and no one would want to use the old-fashioned rifle in their hand against the several crossbows that automatically roam, automatically aim, and automatically fire on the camp wall.
When they saw electromagnetic rifles being mounted on off-road vehicles going in and out of the camp, they all got down to work.
At this time, there will be a natural disaster in one day. Chu Jungui asked all the explorers to withdraw their positions, return to the vicinity of the camp, and dig new fortifications and public facilities. Now the explorers have built a dense spider web of fortifications and trenches around the camp, and all the positions are connected together. A public activity area has also been built close to the camp, including a living room, bathroom, dining room and entertainment room. As single-man construction machinery was put into use, the progress of fortification construction was getting faster and faster, and it became more and more exaggerated. There are now more than 30 forts built with armored plates and composite materials on the outer perimeter of the defense system alone, even more than the number of explorers.
In order to cope with the coming natural disaster, Chu Jungui started a series of projects to greatly increase the defense of the position, reserve a large amount of ammunition and materials, and at the same time uniformly update the explorer's equipment.
At the Dynasty Base, Dr. Zero returned to the office with an impatient look on his face and asked the two people who were already waiting: "Is there anything important that you have to disturb me for?"
"Doctor, we encountered obstacles when recruiting the latest batch of explorer candidates."
"Obstruction?" Dr. Zero's face was a little gloomy. He knew very well how rigorous his words were used by his two capable men.
Another person said: “We originally planned to recruit 700 candidates, but yesterday most of them received invitations from the Second and Third Departments, who offered more favorable conditions, so most of the candidates showed up. If we are shaken, today’s signing may not go smoothly.”
"Departments 2 and 3 dare to compete with me for people, what conditions do they give?"
The two men looked at each other and said, "It's 50% higher than what we currently give."
Dr. Zero frowned slightly and said, "You are really overestimating your abilities! Let's first deal with the treatment... wait, I'll check the data."
In front of his two subordinates, Dr. Zero directly pulled out the light screen and connected it to his personal terminal. Then the data surged like water, clearly attacking the core masterminds of the second and third departments!
In less than ten minutes, the two masterminds fell one after another, and all the secrets were revealed to the doctor. The doctor directly opened the financial data of the second and third departments, looked at it, and sneered: "The year is only half over, and the budget has already been spent. How dare you steal people from me!"
Dr. Zero openly left backdoors on the two masterminds, and then covered up the traces of his invasion. He confidently said: "From now on, the treatment of all active and reserve explorers will be tripled. For candidates who are ready to join, The one-time subsidy has also been increased by 3 times and will be paid on the spot when registering!”
The two men were surprised, and one said: "Since we already know the opponent's trump card, why do we need to spend so much money?"
Another person also said: "In my opinion, the subsidy does not need to be increased. It just needs to be changed to be paid immediately when reporting. They can't offer this condition."
The doctor said: "Don't just focus on those candidates and reserve forces. There are many active explorers in Parts Two and Three. What will they do when they hear about our treatment?"
The two men suddenly realized and hurried away.
After finishing the matter here, the doctor walked towards the laboratory. On the way, an emergency communication with extremely high authority came in. The doctor connected it, and the image of the current chairman of the committee of the Dynasty Academy of Sciences appeared in front of him. Seeing the doctor was like seeing the sun lighting up the future, and he smiled brightly.
"Chairman Zero, I heard that your research has made great progress recently?"
The doctor said: "I am only an executive member of the committee, not even the vice chairman."
"Isn't there a by-election soon! You will definitely occupy a place in the presidium, or you will be the first executive. You see, I am also old and can't work for a few more years. Who else can take this position besides you in the future?"
The doctor said calmly: "It's still early. Who wants to come over?"
The chairman said mysteriously: "You are a real big shot. I would like to get acquainted with you and learn more about the progress of your research..."
Before the chairman finished speaking, the doctor said: "50 billion."
"What 50 billion?"
"Give me another 50 billion special budget, and I will talk to that big shot about my research. Of course, this is the first step."
The smile on the chairman's face bloomed again, as strong as a sea of flowers, and said: "No problem! 50 billion is not enough, I will give you another 500! The funding is easy to talk about! What about the others? Even if you want my position now, we It can also be discussed.”
The doctor said: "Then 100 billion, but I am not interested in your position. Let's wait until one day you no longer want to sit or retire. Let the big shot come over, and I will arrange for him to enter in the third round."
"Will there be a third round?" the chairman asked.
The doctor pondered for a moment and said: "Theoretically, there will be 5 rounds. But it is hard to say whether the fifth round will really happen."
The smile on the chairman's face suddenly froze, and then he smiled bitterly and said, "If I didn't still have a lot of life, I would have wanted to give myself a chance. Can I ask how many positions are left?"
"Probably no more than 10."
"That's it..." the chairman thought, and said slowly: "Then there are certain positions that cannot be given to those people."
"Which people?"
"Those old guys who don't have much residual heat."
The doctor said calmly: "You want to make arrangements again?"
The chairman said: "Opportunities are so scarce, of course I have to arrange it. You are not very good at this, so leave it to me. You can take 50% of the benefits afterwards."
"Isn't 50% a bit low?"
The chairman smiled bitterly and said: "I have to clear up the management here, and I have to resist external pressure. We cannot monopolize the benefits. We must divide some of them to build future allies. I have to resist all external pressures, and in the end, we will not be able to monopolize the benefits. The benefits in my pocket are only 10%. You have to know that there will be a price for letting you take over my position in the future."
The doctor didn't bother too much, but nodded directly and said: "Okay."
The chairman perked up, hurriedly cut off the communication and made arrangements.
The doctor had already reached the door of the laboratory, suddenly stopped, and clicked on the communication channel a few times. A moment later, a majestic middle-aged general appeared in front of the doctor, with a sinister look on his brows. He said upon meeting him: "Doctor, is it not good for you to do this?"
"What did I do?"
The middle-aged general stared at the doctor for a few seconds, hesitated to speak, and finally said: "You came to me suddenly, what's the matter?"
"It's something. I want to inform you that from now on, all explorers in the army, including active duty, reserve forces and candidates, will have their corresponding salary increased by five times."
"5..." The middle-aged general stood up, then slowly sat down, and said, "Doctor, our second department has no funds, so we can't compete with you. But it's hard to say for the third department."
The doctor smiled lightly and said, "They don't have the funds either."
"How do you know? Sponsorship fees for the third film come from various sources..."
"Maybe they would have had extra funding, but now they don't," the doctor said.
The general frowned, pondered, and said after a few seconds: "It seems that we can't compete with you, but we hope that the few privileges we have obtained can be used for ourselves."
"Okay. Also, if you recruit candidates from the active military, I will not interfere." After the doctor said that, he cut off the communication, handed the personal terminal to his assistant, and walked into the laboratory.
The assistant followed the doctor into the laboratory, put away the doctor's personal belongings, and asked curiously: "You are looking for General Yu from the Second Department just to inform you about this matter? We can do this for you!"
The doctor smiled slightly and said: "I just wanted to see him to see if he would make any mistakes. If he scolded me, the person in charge of the second department would be replaced tomorrow. But he didn't."
