Chapter 6: A Pile of Appointments
As expected, yet unexpectedly, a few days later, Yue Mingyuan arrived at Old Zhou's house alone, travel-worn and weary: "Old Guo, Old Zhou, the higher-ups have approved our plan, and the technical planning team has begun to refine the plan."
Once the plan is finalized and approved, it can officially begin.
After reporting the progress, Yue Mingyuan handed a document to Guo Yi and said helplessly, "Mr. Guo, we checked and couldn't find a venue that completely meets your requirements, only some. Could you take a look and see which one is better?"
"..."
After reviewing the documents, the first few locations perfectly matched Guo Yi's stereotypes: they were either hollowed-out mountains, facilities deep underground, or isolated deserts.
However, when Guo Yi saw the last location, he couldn't help but be surprised: a town adjacent to a first-tier city, covering an area of about 500,000 square kilometers, with a permanent population of 70,000!?
Driven by curiosity, Guo Yi carefully examined the information about this place called Fire Seed City.
The more Guo Yi looked, the stranger his expression became, and at the same time, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly.
There are concerns that a nuclear apocalypse might occur after the outbreak of World War III.
To prevent their race and civilization from being wiped out by nuclear apocalypse, they secretly built a city called Fireseed City to preserve the flame of their race and civilization in the event of nuclear apocalypse.
Therefore, "Fire Seed City" does not refer to that rural town, but rather to the nuclear-proof city located underground in that rural town!
A self-sufficient city that preserves a wealth of historical documents, stores a large amount of daily necessities and semi-finished raw materials, has complete living facilities, possesses a certain level of light and heavy industrial capacity, and has a certain production capacity, capable of supporting 100,000 people to live and produce for a long time in the event of a nuclear apocalypse!
If Fire Seed City were just like this, Guo Yi could understand and accept it: given his own habit of digging everywhere and his off-the-charts infrastructure capabilities, what's so surprising about a mere underground nuclear-proof city?
However, Fireseed City is more than that!
First of all, Fireseed City is a project that will never be finished.
As long as Fire Seed City is not yet launched, its construction will continue to upgrade and evolve with the times and the progress of technology.
Secondly, in order to ensure that Fireseed City can continue its race and civilization in the nuclear apocalypse, the residents, administrative institutions, military forces, and so on of Fireseed City have all been arranged!
That's right, the residents of that town were basically prospective residents of Fire Seed City and also highly skilled workers who would build Fire Seed City.
The administrative and armed forces of that township were all the same as those of Huozhong City.
This means that once Fireseed City is fully activated, it will not only be able to operate immediately, orderly, and efficiently, but also rebuild homes and continue the race and civilization at the fastest speed.
"Hehe~"
After reviewing the information on Fireseed City, Guo Yi couldn't help but chuckle in exasperation. He then asked Yue Mingyuan, "Minister Yue, are the higher-ups really willing to give me Fireseed City as a research and development and production base?"
"Don't worry, if we're giving you a choice, then we must have reached a consensus."
After giving a firm reply, Yue Mingyuan immediately changed the subject: "Old Guo, based on your situation, the higher-ups have suggested that you choose Fire Seed City as your base."
First: Most of the residents of Fireseed City are highly reliable skilled workers who can meet your requirements for construction workers.
At the same time, they have already worked together seamlessly, so we don't need to spend time and effort getting the construction team to work together.
Second: Fire Seed City has a complete basic industrial system, and you only need to upgrade it to meet your needs in the early stages.
At the same time, the platform can also plan a national industrial upgrading plan based on your upgrade progress.
Third: Fire Seed City has an extremely high expansion limit, so you don't have to worry about not having enough space for research and manufacturing.
Fourth: The reason Fire City lacks advanced laboratories is because it lacks the corresponding high-end equipment, not because it is incapable of building them.
After saying that, Yue Mingyuan added, "Of course, this is just a suggestion from above; the final decision is yours."
"..."
Guo Yi thought about Yue Mingyuan's words for a moment, then nodded in agreement, saying, "Compared to other places, Fireseed City is indeed more suitable, and it can also serve as a template, so let's choose Fireseed City."
"it is good."
Yue Mingyuan nodded, then took out a stack of official documents from his briefcase and handed them to Guo Yi and Old Zhou. He said solemnly, "Old Guo, this is the document appointing you as the chief designer and deputy commander of the 'Great Voyage' project. You will be responsible for the production of MS and space battleships, as well as managing the 'Great Voyage' project."
This is the document appointing you as the chief planner of the "shipyard".
The shipyard was originally Fireseed City. Fireseed City changed its functions and it was no longer appropriate to call itself Fireseed City, so it was renamed Shipyard.
Furthermore, the chief planner is the highest-ranking person in charge of the shipyard; all other departments are subordinate to him.
This is the document appointing you as the Chief Instructor of the "Navigation" Force, responsible for training MS pilots and space battleship crew members.
"Navigation" is just an internal designation; the specific unit number and organizational structure have not yet been determined by higher authorities.
This is the document appointing you as a technical advisor to the "Navigation" staff, responsible for assisting the Tactical Staff in researching corresponding tactics.
Mr. Zhou, this is the document appointing you as the deputy chief designer of the "Great Exploration" project.
"I will serve as the commander-in-chief, and besides you, Mr. Guo, Zhou Mingde will be the deputy commander-in-chief."
"ah!?"
Guo Yi took the large stack of appointment documents with a surprised look, and asked in confusion, "Isn't the plan still being refined and waiting for approval before it officially begins? How come the appointments have been issued now?"
"Officially starting" means that other departments have received the official documents and have begun to cooperate with us.
For us, a rough plan is all we need to get started.
Therefore, the appointment is now being issued.
After Yue Mingyuan finished explaining, Old Zhou, who had been silent all along, frowned and asked doubtfully, "Why are you two in charge? Can you manage?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhou, Fatty Zhou and I have already stepped down. From now on, we'll be in charge of matters related to the 'Great Voyage' plan."
"Um."
"..."
After casually flipping through the documents, Guo Yi looked up and asked Yue Mingyuan, "By the way, since I'm the shipyard's chief planner, can I renovate and expand the shipyard?"
"sure."
Once it was confirmed that work could begin on the shipyard, Guo Yi immediately stood up and urged, "Let's set off now, the sooner we get there, the sooner we can start construction."
"Old Guo..."
Guo Yi raised his hand to interrupt Yue Mingyuan, correcting him with high spirits: "Don't call me Old Guo, call me Chief Engineer Guo from now on."
"Alright, Chief Engineer Guo."
Yue Mingyuan shook his head, both amused and exasperated, and said, "Chief Engineer Guo, you can't do any work at the shipyard now."
"During this period, the shipyard needs to transfer some supplies to other places, and it also needs time to prepare the laboratory for you."
"How long will it take?"
"One week."
"We still have to wait another week."
Guo Yi sighed and waved his hand, saying, "Alright, let's set off again in a week."
"Chief Engineer Guo, that's settled then. See you at the shipyard in a week."
"Okay, see you in a week."
