Chapter 174

After a long period of excavation, the area of ​​the underground cavity increased day by day, and gradually took on the shape of the prototype of an underground city planned by nest worms.

In order to support the entire underground space, specially treated square pillars are erected one after another.

These pillars are made of crystals and bone mud as their shells, and after being treated with sticky insects, they are so strong that they can even withstand the impact of ordinary artillery shells. Among them, the largest one that serves as the main structural support is more than ten meters thick, and the smallest is more than two meters thick.

These pillars stand as the supporting points for the entire city in the future. They will be wrapped with solid metal later... The rectangular beams will then be connected with mortise and tenon structures. Metal beams of different thicknesses are laid out in a layer at appropriate intervals.

This floor is the ground of the first floor and also the 'ceiling' of the underground floor.

The classrooms and urban construction department originally built by Qi Heng are all on the underground floor. Once the metal panels that arrive later are fastened to the beams, all these buildings will be covered.

However, by that time, it will basically be possible to replace these temporary resettlement houses with regular construction.

Ministry of Urban Construction.

There are still only a few people working here, after all, some things are not yet ready to be fully announced.

No, it should be said that there is one missing.

Yan left with the investigation fleet that came to Tianyun Star.

There is only one permanent staff member left here at the moment, but only Lan Yi, Luo Shen, Mo Nan, Zhou Xing and Chu Xiu are here every day, and the remaining one is Qi Heng who appears from time to time.

——They never know when Qi Heng will appear.

Even if they didn't know what Qi Heng was busy with, but looking at the well-organized affairs and lacking resources handed over to them, they knew that Qi Heng was probably not much more idle than them.

Compared to the beginning, everyone now has a lot of work to do.

...In the beginning, it was relatively easy when we were only responsible for the minor details of dungeon construction. Even for Lan Yi and the others who were just starting out, those were things that could be completed step by step without much thought.

Not to mention that Chu Xiu who came later taught them a lot, which benefited them a lot and helped them get started faster.

However, when educational matters were added later, Mo Nan and the others, who had never been involved in them before, were completely confused. Even with Chu Xiu around, it took them quite a while to get used to it.

Now...

Lan Yi, who was reading the "Imperial Finance Law" formulated by the Tianjia civilization in the past, frowned. Among the books in the account next to him, he had already browsed "Imperial Currency Law", "The Birth of the Imperial Monetary System", "Imperial Financial Law" and other large volumes that would make people go bald after reading them.

These are all things of the past for the newly emerged Tianjia civilization. However, although they are things of the past, they are still very meaningful for Qi Heng's proposal to establish a new currency circulation for the current Tianjia civilization and to plan the assets of "Gray Mist" on Tianyun Star.

At least it was very useful for Lan Yi, who knew nothing about this and was completely in the dark before Qi Heng brought it up.

Mo Nan, Luo Shen and others also received similar tasks. During this period, they mainly enriched themselves with knowledge and occasionally attended a couple of classes with Teacher Chu Xiu to answer questions.

They knew that Qi Heng entrusting these things to them was a test of Qi Heng's trust in them.

They didn't want to disappoint Qi Heng, so they were determined to produce a good enough result as a response. Another point was that if such an important proposal went wrong in their hands, they would never forgive themselves.

Fortunately, Qi Heng gave them enough time to take it slow.

Not only that, they are not relying entirely on themselves to "fight", "Ghost" and the civilization mastermind Silver will help them.

This made them feel relieved, and they immersed themselves in the sea of ​​books and documents without any worries.

(It's not that Qi Heng and Chu Xiu can't do these things themselves, but since we've decided to train them to become independent decision-makers, we naturally have to let them experience many things. We can't just let them and the AI ​​handle everything.)

(To put it bluntly, AI is just a tool to assist with work. Moreover, AI does not have the concerns that intelligent creatures have, so some things really cannot be left entirely to them.)

**

Lan Yi and the others were busy, and Chu Xiu was not idle either.

He was busy drafting two books, "Introduction to Mental Power Cultivation" and "Introduction to Star Power Cultivation", which would be distributed as supporting teaching materials for the unified textbook. Baiyin helped a lot, but he still had to decide on some specific contents.

In addition to these, we also selected appropriate star war skills and spiritual magic, etc.

Obviously, this is not something that can be completed overnight. After all, there are still advanced stages after getting started... It can only be said that the work is never finished.

But! Since Your Majesty has already given the goal, all that remains is to achieve it!

All the hard work is worth it for your majesty.

When Chu Xiu stopped writing, he glanced at His Majesty who was sitting beside him with his brows lowered in thought, and instantly felt more motivated to work.

I never had this opportunity before, to work with His Majesty... I never dared to think about it even in my dreams.

[Your Excellency, he is looking at you again.]

A0's words didn't attract Qi Heng's attention at all.

Anyone who hears similar words more than a dozen times in a short period of time will probably no longer care about it.

He didn't want to, but A0 didn't stop.

This is the twelfth time today, and the fourth time within this hour, and you've only been sitting here working for two hours and forty-five minutes today...

Qi Heng kept spinning the pen with his left hand, staring at the post in the 'Gray Fog' forum thoughtfully. This post revealed some kind of message.

He raised an eyebrow, this was interesting.

Is it self-rejection? Or unwillingness to change? Or perhaps both?

He really cares about you.

[Is this love? He really loves you!]

The pen twirling on his fingertips stopped, and Qi Heng's mouth twitched: "Don't use a word randomly after learning it."

[Oh, he didn't look at you. What a pity! Otherwise, you would have seen him if you looked up.]

Qi Heng: ...We can’t keep this AI anymore, or we should wake up another one.

It's one thing to think about, but it's definitely not possible to do so in reality.

He looked up and looked around, and found that everyone was struggling with the work in front of them, so he said to a bored AI in his mind: "A0, can you be quiet for a moment?"

'Have you finished your work?'

A0 can run in multiple threads, so it can focus on what's happening around you while completing your assigned tasks. It's totally possible~

I was so confused that I forgot about this.

A0's tone of voice has become more and more childish recently. Has he been infected by Qi Xi, that little bug, after spending too much time with him?

Although we have long known that A0 is a self-learning AI, and a rare type capable of emotional learning... it doesn't learn the good things, but learns the messy things faster than anyone else.

It seems that if I don’t find something to transfer A0, I won’t have a peaceful day today.

Is there anything that can increase A0's workload? It's not a good idea to always keep it quiet, otherwise let it bother other people or AI?

Before Qi Heng could come up with any solution, A0's voice suddenly appeared again.

[Your Excellency, I have just received the latest package data sent back by A0-03.]

[The data packet is larger than the previous two times, it should be a complete mission report.]

"...tell me more." His fingers tapped unconsciously on the table.

The transport ships sent by the investigation fleet left Tianyun Star late last night, and then the entire fleet headed towards the hyperspace node near the 'Erta Asteroid Belt' at a speed that was neither slow nor fast, as if they were deliberately fishing.

Unfortunately, this time, Qi Heng didn't plan to do anything openly.

A0-03 secretly left with the investigation fleet and sent back two messages during this period.

The first was to test whether quantum communication could be used and to ensure that there would be no obstacles in subsequent communications. The second was to send back a brief safety message after they crossed the Erta Asteroid Belt to report that everything was going according to plan.

Qi Heng looked at the opened document, which was concise but very detailed with pictures and texts, and there was also a video that had been edited at the end.

A0-03's mission report ensured that even if Qi Heng was no longer on the scene, he could still keep the situation under control, so the amount of data sent back by the solid-eyed AI was indeed not small.

Suddenly I don’t know what to say, this is a bit too detailed.

But it cannot be said that it is a problem of A0-03.

Qi Heng first read the summary report of A0-03, and a smile appeared on his face while he was reading it.

'A003 did a great job.'

A0: [You have a thorough plan.]

It started off so smoothly, it seems those unused backup plans will not be used in the short term.

"It says the survey fleet has now passed through the hyperspace route node outside the Tianyun system and reached another system..."

Qi Heng was talking to A0 in his mind when he suddenly saw an unopened data package and asked, "What is this data?"

A0, who was working, replied seriously:

[This is the latest intelligence A0-03 obtained from the fleet's mothership database and the fleet's commander-in-chief after capturing the fleet.]

[…Comparing with the existing information in the database. You can browse this content more intuitively later.]

Qi Heng said "hmm" to indicate that he understood, and focused his attention on the information at hand.

After reading it, I have to reply to A0-03, so the sooner the better.
