Chapter 74 Crisis can also create opportunities
Ghost Mountain is indeed a Ghost Mountain. No matter how strange the things are, they seem to be understandable.
For example, the huge iceberg that Shengxia and her friends had "dug" out was actually Putt, the eldest son of the Federation's Cyros family. He was one of the top candidates for admiral in the interstellar world over thirty years ago, and the only reason Mo Siming came to the planet Volk.
midsummer:……
She didn't say anything, but silently checked the information about the Cyrus family. Relevant information could only be purchased on the black market, but she could also find out how terrifying the family's actual control was from the corners of the public financial reports of major energy groups.
But Ai also detected subtle changes in the timeline and people's memories, which is very unstable. In addition, there is currently no way to contact the Space-Time Bureau... So, is this a bug?
Appearing in the time and space of her retirement?
"Planet Commander, there have been major changes."
Suddenly, Wei Jie and An Yuan from the Independence Army contacted her at the same time, pointing out that the weather conditions on Volk had changed significantly. Monitoring data showed that the surface temperature of Volk was rising rapidly.
This means that the snowmelt will arrive earlier this year than ever before.
Shengxia quickly turned to look at the eerie ghost mountain. No, it wasn't eerie. She quickly realized that the shattering of spacetime had caused energy problems throughout the entire star field. Generally speaking, this kind of chaos wouldn't last long, thanks to internal coordination within the star field and intervention from the Spacetime Bureau.
Sure enough, the alert issued by the weather monitoring bureau in the morning subsided in the afternoon because the surface temperature dropped back to the standard value. However, meteorological experts also reminded Shengxia that based on the current rate of increase in surface temperature, this year's thaw period will still be two months earlier than originally estimated.
"Two months..."
Shengxia lowered her eyes. The biggest problem she faced now was no longer the Space-Time Bureau or the big ice block that accidentally fell into the space-time gap, but that once the current cold winter on the planet Volk was over, coupled with the black gold mines that had been excavated and discovered, the shadow of war would once again hang over the sky of the planet Volk.
No matter what conspiracy the Space-Time Bureau has, she must first protect her retirement arrangement!
No, Shengxia thought about it and realized that the existing infrastructure plan must be restructured. In addition... the government-sponsored study abroad program and negotiations with the Federal Bureau must also be carried out at the same time.
While Shengxia was busy arranging the order of things in her mind, Putt fixed his eyes firmly on her.
When Mo Siming walked up to Putt and tried to identify himself, Putt flashed in the direction of Shengxia, and just like that... like a child, he flashed behind Shengxia and grabbed Shengxia's arm.
Mo Siming: ???
Seeing this, the medical staff came forward to explain Put's current mental state to Mo Siming. After listening, Mo Siming was undecided whether to report the matter to the Seros family.
Logically speaking, from the moment he found Put, his purpose of coming to Planet Volk had been achieved. He could return to the Federal Headquarters, and accept the huge funding from the Cyrus family in a grand manner, and live the satisfying retirement life he had imagined.
This was a beautiful dream that Mo Siming had thought about thousands of times, but now that his dream had come true, he couldn't feel happy at all when he saw the person he was looking for appear in front of him. On the contrary... he wanted to... detain Put.
If he really wanted to detain Putt, he could find many reasons, such as Putt's current state of being dazed and stupid; the flight routes that were cut off during the cold winter on Planet Volk; and the fact that Putt seemed to have become attached to the planet's commander, Shengxia, as if he regarded her as the source of his sense of security...
But in the end, Mo Siming knew clearly that it was for the planet Volk, simply for this shabby planet that he once felt extremely disgusted with.
If the news that Put was also on the planet Volk was passed back to the Federal Bureau and used appropriately, the Cyrus family might hold a grudge against him, but at least they would not dare to be careless in ensuring the safety of the planet Volk.
As he thought about it, Mo Siming unconsciously turned his attention to Shengxia again. The reason why she rushed back to the core area of Rongdong as soon as she heard the news that the cold winter would come early was probably because she sensed the possibility of war.
So, will she also have feelings for Put? At that time, Mo Siming subconsciously gripped the steering wheel of the icebreaking police car. Which side should he stand on?
Back in the Rongdong, Wei Jie had already brought people there. When Shengxia and the others showed up, they immediately followed Shengxia's request and entered the meeting room in the core area.
The members of the infrastructure planning team first reported their discussion opinions. If the originally planned progress of the civilian construction complex was changed to prioritize military use, they would still have a shortage of about three groups of workers. Moreover, it would be almost impossible to complete the construction of the military industry chain and the deployment of professional personnel in the already short time.
Even if the students from the existing schools in Rongdong are added, the talent gap cannot be filled.
"Actually..." A researcher in the core area was about to say something, but after thinking about it, he seemed to feel that it was not appropriate and closed his mouth. Shengxia noticed it and pointed at him to let him finish what he wanted to say.
The researcher looked at Shengxia, then at his teacher and his companions. Finally, as if he had made a great decision, he finished his opinion: "Actually, we can give some consideration to the personnel of the Independence Army. I know they have always been uncontrolled and outside the government's control, but this cooperation on the military silo has shown us that the Independence Army actually has a certain amount of technical talent."
"We...are all part of Volk. Facing the impending war, you, the planetary commander, have said that for Volk, no matter what our pasts have been, we must unite."
After he finished speaking, before Shengxia could say anything else, another researcher who had been sitting next to him and watching him added through gritted teeth, "I think the Independence Army was able to help with the last launch. For the future of Planet Volk, they might agree to our request this time."
midsummer:……
She said nothing, but she was extremely oppressive. The two researchers who spoke seemed to feel Shengxia's pressure and subconsciously shrank their bodies.
Wei Jie noticed the discomfort of the two and glanced at Shengxia, who was still sitting there silently pretending to be a "big-tailed wolf". He thought that Shengxia must have been very happy in her heart. She had always been troubled by the problem of how the Independence Army should reintegrate into Volk society. Now, the people have their own opinions, and she should be relieved.
Sure enough, Shengxia agreed to this proposal, but also strictly suggested that the cooperation should be moderate at first, and try to get in touch with the independence army personnel before discussing the next step.
Wei Jie: ...She was the one who gave me the contact information of the leader of the independence army!
Just as the members of the infrastructure planning team breathed a sigh of relief, Shengxia brought out a government-sponsored study abroad program, directly indicating that once the cold winter was over, a large number of people with professional and technical talents could apply for government funding to go to good universities in the Federation or other star regions for further studies.
"This, this is not just increasing our own talent gap?" The researchers were all opposed for a while.
But Shengxia seems to have compromised with reality this time: "We must admit that in such a short period of time, if we want to build a complete industrial chain, perhaps the production capacity can keep up, but the cultivation of talent must respect its inevitable cycle."
"Furthermore, after the cold winter, the planet Volk will inevitably experience various turmoils due to the invasion of forces from the surrounding star regions. How can our students study with peace of mind amid such turmoil?"
All participants in the core area: ...
"It's like spreading fire. Sending out our most promising group will help them return. It just takes time. During this time, Planet Volk will welcome wave after wave of ambitious infiltration forces, allowing them to fight right under our noses."
"Of course, I will do my best to contain them."
For some reason, although Shengxia's voice was powerful and resolute, the participants felt an indescribable sense of fatigue. They couldn't help but look at Shengxia, and at the same time, they couldn't help but feel sad because of the many lessons that Volk Planet had missed in the past.
The remaining topics for discussion included food security, resettlement of the people, wartime plans, new fiscal budgets, etc. When Shengxia clearly put a series of figures in front of the participants,
Some people couldn't help crying at the meeting. It was too difficult. If the surrounding star field forces really wanted to attack Volk Planet, they would be like an egg hitting a rock. There were already a lot of internal problems, and now not only was time tight, but they also had to solve them one by one.
Amidst this widespread grief, Mo Siming, not knowing if he had lost his mind, suddenly stood up and asked Shengxia, "Where's the big ice block?"
When this name came out, everyone around looked at Mo Siming in surprise, but Fu Qianshen couldn't help but change his expression. He knew that Mo Siming was referring to Put.
What he meant by asking this question now is... that he is planning to use Put?
Unexpectedly, the next second, Shengxia replied to him crisply: "Send away."
"What? Don't you think he's an excellent bait?" Mo Siming was surprised at his change after blurting out these words. Sheng Xia also cast a meaningful look at him at this time.
At that moment, Mo Siming felt that his character had completely collapsed. At such a critical moment, he was just like the extravagant executives on the Volker planet whom he once hated, and was ready to use innocent people to achieve his own goals without thinking.
But his reason was tearing him apart. For the absolute safety of the Volk planet, it was not impossible to use him in this way. Put, he was the eldest son that the Cyrus family had been looking for for many years.
As long as the Cyrus family is willing to help, the Federal Bureau will no longer be a problem. This is an absolute shortcut.
