Chapter 167 Lu Xuan: Opening the Door to a New World
Because of this, the first thing Lu Xuan did after he arrived was to build an airport so that they could return home on schedule after finishing their duties.
He almost embezzled all the military funds and put them on this matter.
Little did they know that he had a lot of thorns in his hands. He had all the tricks of being cunning, lazy, greedy and deceitful. When these rascals heard that he was going to use the military funds for this purpose, they all quit their jobs and looked like they were ready to rebel.
Lu Xuan: “…”
Seeing his subordinates about to rebel, the Great Demon King smiled kindly and said calmly, "I built this airport for one reason: to make it easier for me to get home."
He looked around and asked, "Do you really intend to stay here forever? Not going home for the holidays? When we arrived, fighter planes brought us here in batches. Once we want to leave, we'll have to call headquarters to allocate resources, which means they might refuse our reasonable requests. If you truly object to my misappropriation of funds for airport construction, then come here and sign your name, and I'll return the subsidies you deserve in full!"
"But let me be frank. The new airport was built using military subsidies, excavated here and there. You have the right to refuse to use the subsidies to build the airport. However, when the airport is completed, I have the right to forbid you from using it. You can report to the higher authorities and request that military fighter jets be dispatched to pick you up."
When Lu Xuan said this, everyone was shocked.
Don't they have any idea of the nature of the people who were kicked out to Savage Planet? If their leaders truly cared about them, they wouldn't have sent them to such a desolate place. Kicking them out like this meant they were being left to fend for themselves.
Doreen pursed her lips and whispered, "But even if you used our subsidy, we don't have the necessary technicians here. Even if we had the money, we wouldn't be able to complete the construction. If we have them airlift or teleport the building materials bag by bag, the cost will definitely double. Is our subsidy really enough?"
The most important thing about the federal subsidies they receive is that they are not paid on time, and are often paid only once every several months. What will they do if their funding chain is broken?
Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan laughed on the spot and shook his head. "Yes, there are finally some wise people among you. The infrastructure here is so poor that even the signal sent back is a temporary signal. If there are just a few more people using it, the network will be stuck. You can't even go online to play games. You still treasure money. Is there any place for you to spend it here? Can you buy things online and have them delivered?"
Lu Xuan's words were undoubtedly a soul-crushing blow to the soldiers.
If they were restricted by military regulations in the army before, they are now restricted by the environment. There is not even a net in this desolate place, and only primitive people in the tribe are left.
Soldiers: “…”
The smile became increasingly bitter.
Destroy it!
Although there are women in the tribe, they are used to eating the whole banquet, so how can they eat green onions and tofu? Not everyone is keen on that kind of mating.
Lu Xuan's words just made them confused.
"Build an airport?" Lu Xuan showed a harmless smile.
"establish!"
"establish!"
"establish!"
"Okay, I'll calculate the bills now, but I want everyone to be mentally prepared. Our allowances rarely come in regularly. If we can't build the airport, then everyone should be mentally prepared to be cavemen on Savage Planet X5."
Deputy Commander Mo Wen was silent on the spot. He responded repeatedly: "Then you should hurry up and advance the project. Everyone is still living in military tents."
The natives live better than them!
Lu Xuan: “…”
"But the natives here are constantly fighting each other. What should we do?" Logistics team leader Ning Guofei scratched his head, looking troubled.
Lu Xuan glanced at him and asked, "Are you the one with the gun, or are they? Our orders are to stay stationed. We won't get involved in their internal struggles. As long as they don't attack our area and affect our airport business."
Build an airport to make the Savage Planet prosperous? Of course not. Build an airport to ensure they can go home on vacation.
When it comes to the construction of Savage Star, Lu Xuan is completely alone. He is trying to persuade his subordinates, "We are all assigned here to do our jobs, so the airport is very important to our work. It can ensure that we can evacuate on schedule and leave Savage Star during our off-duty time. The construction of local signal transmission is of utmost importance. It can enrich our physical and mental health after work."
What he meant was—you don't really want to be stationed here forever, do you? Don't you want to take advantage of your downtime to go home or to a nearby planet to relax and shop? You don't want to live without internet or signal, do you? You don't want to not even catch a fish, do you?
No matter how much of a thorn you are, everyone is in the same environment now. Do you really want to be trapped in this environment? The two questions Lu Xuan raised are the problems they need to solve most at the moment.
Although their stationing conditions were a bit poor, they at least had military tents and military supplies, and they could set up temporary marching camps.
It is easy for them to come but difficult to go back.
It is not so easy to mobilize the military's fighter jets.
Lu Xuan immediately locked onto the planet closest to Savage Star X5 - Vera. Vera would become a material transfer station. As long as they built the initial bridge and then made another round of transfers, they would be able to reach other planets. To put it bluntly, he wanted to open a waterway.
A new shipping route is bound to bring new business opportunities. He immediately ordered people to build a large storage warehouse in Wuya Port on the planet Vera. Such a logistics warehouse will affect the speed of logistics, so he must prepare in advance.
Because the new route has not yet been opened, in order to build this new airport, Lu Xuan called on the commercial spacecraft at home to send him construction robots. Construction robots are enough to replace human construction, but they are expensive. Even if he invested all the subsidy money, it would not be enough to buy ten construction robots, not to mention that construction requires drawings and raw materials. The local area has not yet started industrialization and there are simply not enough raw materials.
The fuel consumed by the commercial spacecraft on this trip is enough to make him drink a pot of wine.
Don’t ask, the answer is poor!
The amount of money Lu Xuan can control is too small, we can't let him keep taking out loans to work!
Lu Xuan looked at the nine construction robots, feeling melancholy. He turned to look at his deputy, Mo Wen, and said, "Mo Wen, I have to leave for a while. While I'm gone, you urge them to finish building the signal station. I'll officially start construction when I get back. We're short of blueprints, designers, and construction materials. I have to go out and get them. Also, these nine construction robots alone have used up all our subsidy funds. You have to keep an eye on them. They are all we have!"
Mo Wen: “!!!!!!!”
Hearing this, Mo Wen suddenly saluted Lu Xuan and said seriously, "Don't worry, Commander. I will definitely protect the public property of the army."
Seeing this, Lu Xuan nodded with satisfaction, stood up and boarded the commercial spacecraft. Along the way, he wrote and drew, working hard on plans and strategies. Building an airport is a huge project, and relying solely on the subsidies of the soldiers is not enough. He has to think of a foolproof way.
Using your own money to add to the deficit? No amount of money would be enough.
What's more, once he paid the money to fill the deficit, and the military issued a transfer order, wouldn't that be making things easier for others?
After much deliberation, Lu Xuan decided to return to school as his first stop. He planned to launch a fundraising campaign at his alma mater, with himself as the first fundraiser. He planned to raise funds through a crowdfunding campaign. What if they didn't have designers for the airport? He could go through the design institute and offer meals but not wages. However, he could help gild their resumes. Who could resist the allure of a resume designing an airport?
Transforming primitive people? Do you think transformation can be accomplished overnight? Without decades of infrastructure construction and quality education, it is impossible to transform them. He can only go back to the academy to ask for high-quality talents.
Don’t ask, just come and get the internship stamp, and I will help you solve your internship and employment problems!
As soon as he came back, the student union was mobilized again by him.
Bert: “…”
You guys are really endless!
