Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, Shi Quan immediately understood what was going on.
"Okay! I know what to do!"
"Okay! Let's shut down all the unnecessary equipment! Just keep the equipment we need right now!"
"Let's prioritize the network department for fuel! After all, our population statistics and allocation are still a bit behind schedule! We need to take that into account! Otherwise, it's such a waste to keep so many people idle!"
Shi Quan nodded: "Yes, Boss Lu! I'll give the order right away!"
"Yes! You've worked hard these past few days!"
Shi Quan scratched his head and grinned: "It's okay! At least working hard is better than doing nothing!"
"Okay! Once the personnel statistics are complete, I'll allocate a batch of people to your side! By the way, during this time, select a group of loyal and reliable people! Then send me the personnel list!"
Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, Shi Quan was slightly taken aback, then a joyful expression appeared on his face: "Does this mean we can officially start work now?"
Lu Yuan nodded: "Yes! These people have been idle here for half a month, without producing anything. Even if my wallet is full, I can't afford to support them!"
"Very good!"
Shi Quan clenched his fists excitedly, eager to start work immediately, but after thinking about it for a while, he felt a little frustrated.
"Boss Lu, but... but we don't have any factories right now! Not having factories isn't a big deal, but the power infrastructure hasn't been planned yet, and we don't have much fuel to begin with! We need to solve this problem!"
"Yes! This is really a headache! Okay, I'll go back and take a look! See if there's any news!"
After chatting with Shi Quan for a while, Lu Yuan left the equipment area.
Just then, a shout came from afar.
"I'm here!"
Lu Yuan walked out of the crowd and waved to Wang Mingming, who was planning to go to the slums to look for someone.
Upon seeing Lu Yuan, Wang Mingming ran over quickly, panting as she approached.
"What's wrong? You look so tired."
Lu Yuan looked at the other person with a puzzled expression.
Wang Mingming pointed behind her, panting, and said, "Sister Han Wen... Sister Han Wen and the others are back!"
Upon hearing this good news, Lu Yuan was somewhat taken aback.
"Han Wen and Xi Wen are back?"
"Yes! They just got back! They've finished drawing up a map of this area! And they've even added more detailed annotations! Go take a look, Brother Lu!"
"Walk!"
Lu Yuan, who had been waiting for this day, was immediately thrilled upon hearing the news.
He originally planned to take people to explore the surrounding area, since he had excellent teleportation abilities in this space and could move people around at will.
However, Hanwen and Xiwen refused at the time, because drawing a map is not something that can be done by just sketching a rough draft. After all, it is related to their future survival, so the marking of some locations must be done very meticulously.
Therefore, Han Wen and Xi Wen brought along several geologists and botanists, and it has been a month since then.
The two arrived at the cabin and saw Lu Yuan's family surrounding Han Wen and Xi Wen, showing them great concern.
When Lu Yuan saw Han Wen and Xi Wen again, he almost didn't recognize them.
The once glamorous Han Wen had lost that allure. Her face was completely devoid of makeup, her clothes were tattered, her shoes were unrecognizable, her hair was haphazardly tied into a ponytail, and her skin looked dry and shriveled, as if she hadn't washed her face properly in a long time.
As for Xiwen, he looked even more miserable. He looked like an old man, with his clothes full of holes and even his shoes were not the same.
Xiwen saw Lu Yuan from afar and went up to give him a big hug.
"Brother Lu! We're back!"
Lu Yuan gently patted the other person's back: "It's good to be back! Did you have a pleasant journey?"
Xiwen laughed heartily: "It's pretty good! The scenery is beautiful and there's no pollution! It's a pristine land! The only downside is that the area we're exploring is mainly forested, and we've also encountered a desert area! We haven't had any water there for a long time!"
Just then, Xiaoshan's mother brought over two glasses of water.
"Look at you two, come and have some water!"
Han Wen smiled, took the water glass, and drank it all in one gulp. Like a man, he wiped his mouth with his hand, still looking like he wanted more.
Lu Yuan smiled, then took a glass of water from his office and handed it over.
"Drink up! You've all worked so hard these past few days!"
Han Wen took the water glass and drank it all in one gulp: "You owe us a huge favor!"
"Yes! I owe you a huge favor; I'll treat you to a big meal tonight!"
Then Lu Yuan looked at the two of them and said, "Go take a shower and change your clothes first! We can chat during dinner, and then you should get some rest! We won't take up any more of your rest time!"
Han Wen scratched his head: "The last time I took a bath was at the beach! But I spent the next month in forests, deserts, and mountains! You should know how it is there! Water is scarce, extremely scarce!"
Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they saw Han Wen's expression.
Then Han Wen took a tablet computer out of his bag and handed it to Lu Yuan.
