Du Yanjun also reported: The lack of human resources is the key. As the number of immigrants to Mars increases, food has also become a key issue. The food, drink, and sleep for hundreds of people cannot be sustained for long by relying solely on supplies transported from the earth. I suggest strengthening Mars agriculture, expanding grain and oil cultivation, and establishing its own breeding farms and food processing industry chain.
Yang Momo spoke promptly and said: Let’s not talk about aerospace research and development for the time being. I will only say that we have missed one of the most serious facilities construction, that is, we do not have our own ships. The estuary of Jinghai River and Huagu Yang is the chokepoint that protects the Chinese homeland in our Pearl Basin of China. What if, oh, I am just talking metaphorically, outsiders visit or invade us, what should we do?
Therefore, I suggest that a Huaguyang naval fleet must be formed. Considering the current situation, we can build large wooden ships first, and then slowly build cement and steel ships. I suggest opening up to the outside world, bringing in the human and material resources of the Martians, and exchanging our materials with them for my use.
no! Qian Yifan immediately objected: For two years, everything we did on Mars was done in secret. We relied entirely on self-reliance to build this home from scratch. Only if our location is not exposed can we produce and live safely. Once we are open to the outside world, once our position and strength are exposed, we will attract the attention of the Martians. Who can guarantee that the Martians are not hostile and are all friendly?
Yes, we do have a huge shortage of human resources, but we can only do it step by step, and we cannot become fat in one bite. To be honest, there are only 8 of us responsible for media communications, and we are exhausted every day. Too short of manpower. Just now you all put forward conditions and opinions, but I can only remain silent. It's not easy for her as the captain, she has to take everything slowly!
Liu Yiyi said in a dignified and calm manner: I will report the comrades' suggestions and ideas to the headquarters as soon as possible and wait for the headquarters' suggestions and replies. As for opening up recruitment for product exchange, Momo's suggestion is good and feasible. But there are dangers. As Qian Yifan said just now, we cannot guarantee that all Martians are friendly.
Now it is necessary to inform everyone of one thing, that is, there is still an evil force on Mars. Martians often have villages attacked, and entire villages disappear or are massacred. The Martians have been investigating, but to no avail. We are also paying attention, but we have not intervened to investigate. The reason is that we don't provoke them. Therefore, my suggestion is to maintain the status quo of our China Pearl Basin for the time being.
Construction is our top priority. As for manpower and material resources, I will apply to the Earth Headquarters to strive for the greatest help and assistance from the motherland. In addition, Momo’s suggestion is very important. Our China Pearl Basin is in a very special geographical location, surrounded by mountains on three sides. There is only one high mountain pass in the northwest, but there is still snow for many years. To the southeast is our Huaguyang estuary, which is the only way to enter the Pearl Basin.
Therefore, it is most appropriate for one man to guard against all others. Patrols alone are not enough, we really have to have our own naval fleet. I agree with Momo's suggestion, build large wooden ships first, and then slowly develop stronger ships. In addition, as we have more people, public health and disease prevention and control have been put on top priority. Xin Ruofei and Lang Bute have made suggestions to me many times, but due to lack of manpower, I have not responded.
Now I propose to add another deputy general manager to specialize in public health management, and the candidate is Comrade Xin Ruofei.
Also, in terms of mechanical engineering manufacturing, Comrade Li Zhuangzhuang is an expert in this field. I propose to add another mechanical engineering development and research department, with Comrade Li Zhuangzhuang as the deputy general manager. At the same time, I also decided to establish the Mars Chinese Culture and Education Baijia College. I propose that Comrade Zhao Shiyan be the dean. Please discuss it and if there is no objection, it will be passed unanimously.
So, after some discussion, everyone voted by a show of hands, and everything was approved.
However, Yang Momo was right to worry. On the third day after Liu Yiyi held the meeting, the patrol team discovered suspicious and strange things on both sides of the Jinghai Bridge. The patrol found a large number of cigarette butts and empty cans at the end of the Jinghai Bridge. They were all surprised that these things of unknown origin did not exist in Mars Town. Yang Momo immediately sent these things to Liu Yiyi's desk.
Liu Yiyi was very frightened. These things were not daily necessities for Chinese people, but daily necessities for the Si short country. In order to stabilize people's hearts and avoid causing panic and turmoil, Liu Yiyi did not make the matter public, but secretly convened several leaders to discuss how to deal with it.
Those attending the temporary meeting were Na Linwan, Du Ruolan, and Yang Momo.
Na Linwan said with a gloomy face: What is coming will always come. Judging from the signs on these things, the SAIR on these items is the name of the country of Sdwarf, and they are indeed supplies of the Sdwarfs.
Du Ruolan said with certainty: Sdwarf country must have achieved Mars immigration. This is what they brought from Earth to Mars. The reality is that they are homeless and may have only recently discovered our settlement.
Yang Momo said in fear: The dwarves quietly entered our Pearl Basin along the Jinghai River, which shows that this group of people has a purpose. They should be a small group of advance scouts. I have sent people to search along both sides of the Jinghai River, but no traces were found. This can only show that the dwarves came upstream by boat.
And they are nocturnal. We must be extra vigilant. Now, we haven't even built a wooden boat before they get involved. This is a dangerous wake-up call for us. It seems that we must strengthen the vigilance at the mouth of Huaguyang River.
Momo, we don’t have enough manpower. We can allocate from various units to monitor and inspect the Huaguyang estuary and river mouth day and night. We will take turns on duty every 12 hours, in groups of ten. Four groups will require 40 people a day and a night. I will How about assigning 20 people to you?
Yang Momo thought for a moment, and then said worriedly: What I'm worried about is not the issue of standing guard. We must take out the weapons and ammunition brought from the earth, form a force in the China Pearl Basin, strengthen training, and be ready to go into battle at any time. I suspect the dwarves are here with bad intentions.
In this way, Du Ruolan suddenly suggested: We are right to be defensive, but we must also take the initiative. We can also send a team of scouts to conduct a secret investigation of the dwarves to find out where their temporary residence is, how many people there are, where the ships came from, etc.
good! I agree with the supervisor's suggestion: However, I suddenly came across a question: Could it be that the people who were massacred and disappeared in those villages on Mars were the dwarves?
It's not impossible. Lin Wan said without hesitation: Ruolan, you must be very careful with your recent actions. Don't let these people take notice of you, otherwise you will be in big trouble.
