Chapter 54: Quickly Travel! Fate of the Ice Star (VI)
Feng Ziang met Li's gaze without flinching. "My team and I completed this report at the risk of our lives. It clearly shows that the structure of this ruin is very complex and any reckless mining behavior may lead to unpredictable and catastrophic consequences."
The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became tense, and the senior executives began to whisper to each other. They all realized the seriousness of the problem.
Manager Li's face turned red and white. He tried to save the situation: "Engineer Shu, I understand your feelings, but we also have to consider the interests of the company. The resources discovered this time are of vital importance to us..."
"Profits? Is there anything more important than the safety of hundreds of thousands of colonists?"
Shu Yang stood up suddenly, took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and scanned everyone in the conference room with a determined look, "I understand the company's desire to develop and obtain more resources, but we can't put the entire colony in danger for the sake of immediate interests!"
Shu Yang paused, then continued, "I already have a preliminary plan that can protect the ruins to the greatest extent possible while also allowing us to obtain the resources we need. My plan is..."
Before Shu Yang finished speaking, Engineer Zhao could not wait to question: "Manager Shu, your plan is too idealistic! Not to mention that we have not yet mastered this kind of sophisticated operating technology, even if we can do it, the cost will be unimaginably high!"
Wang Botu also nodded and agreed, "That's right, Director Shu, we must face reality. The company cannot give up the huge benefits in front of it for an uncertain risk."
Shu Yang was well prepared for the questioning. He calmly opened the document in his hand and began to elaborate on his plan in detail, citing a large amount of experimental data and case analysis to support his point of view. However, Engineer Zhao and Doctor Wang still insisted on their own views and believed that his plan was too risky.
At this moment, Feng Ziang, who had been silent all this time, stood up again. He walked to Shu Yang's side, projected an electronic drawing onto the conference table, and said in a deep voice: "I believe that Director Shu's plan is feasible. I have some new technical ideas that can improve his plan and make it more feasible and safe."
Feng Ziang's tone was firm and confident. He began to explain his ideas in detail. The solution he proposed cleverly combined the latest scientific and technological achievements, which could not only protect the relics to the greatest extent, but also reduce costs and improve efficiency. The atmosphere in the conference room quietly changed. The faces of the senior executives showed thoughtful expressions. Obviously, Feng Ziang's proposal touched them.
Manager Li's face was uncertain. He stared at the drawings on the screen. He knew that if he adopted Shu Yang's plan, the progress of the project would be delayed and his promotion plan would also be affected. But if he refused, he would bear greater responsibility if something unexpected happened... He was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "I need time to think about it..."
As soon as Director Li finished speaking, the conference room exploded. Engineer Zhao and Wang Botu and others started a new round of debate, with various technical terms and data analysis intertwined and filling the entire space.
Shu Yang sat in his seat, listening to their conversation, but he seemed to be out of the picture. His eyes fell on the electronic drawing in front of him, and the plan proposed by Feng Ziang lay there quietly. Every number and every curve condensed his wisdom and hard work.
Shu Yang knew that Feng Ziang stepped forward at this time just for him. He knew that doing so would offend the company's top management, but he still chose to stand on his side without hesitation.
Time passed by, but the debate in the conference room showed no sign of abating. Manager Li's brows furrowed more and more, and he kept rubbing his temples with his hands, as if trying to calm his inner anxiety.
He knew that this decision was of great importance and that no matter which side he ultimately chose, he would bear huge risks.
“That’s enough!”
Manager Li suddenly slammed the table and stood up. The conference room instantly became quiet and everyone looked at him with bated breath.
"Manager Shu, your plan is very thoughtful, but it also involves great risks. The company cannot give up its immediate interests because of an uncertain risk, and it cannot take risks with the future of the entire project." Manager Li's voice was low and powerful, revealing an unquestionable majesty.
Shu Yang's heart sank suddenly. He knew that Manager Li was politely rejecting his proposal.
"But..."
Manager Li paused and looked at everyone present. "The company is also willing to give you a chance to prove that your plan is feasible."
Shu Yang raised his head suddenly, a glimmer of hope flashing in his eyes.
"I will give you one month," Manager Li continued. "After one month, you have to submit a detailed report to the company to prove that your plan can protect the ruins to the greatest extent possible while ensuring safety. If after one month, you cannot come up with results that convince us..."
Manager Li didn't say anything else, but his meaning was self-evident.
Shu Yang took a deep breath and stood up slowly. His eyes were firm and calm. "I will definitely prove it to everyone."
Shu Yang walked out of the conference room and took a deep breath. The cold air gradually made his chaotic thoughts clear. The lights in the corridor were a bit dazzling. He raised his hand to block it, but found that his palms were already full of sweat.
Pressure followed him everywhere, but he felt a sense of relief. At least, he had gained a month, a month to prove and protect.
"Manager Shu!"
Hearing hurried footsteps behind him, Shu Yang turned around and saw Feng Ziang walking towards him quickly with a look of worry and anxiety on his face.
"Are you okay? I hope Manager Li didn't make things difficult for you?" Feng Ziang's tone was filled with undisguised concern.
Shu Yang shook his head, a wry smile on his face: "I'm fine. Manager Li gave me a month to prove that my plan is feasible."
"One month..." Feng Ziang repeated the deadline, frowning slightly, "The time is too tight, we..."
"I know." Shu Yang interrupted him, "But this is the best result. At least, we still have a chance, right?"
Shu Yang's eyes were firm and clear, as if they had penetrated the fog in front of him. His eyes were full of unwillingness to admit defeat. Feng Ziang looked at him, and the worry and uneasiness in his heart gradually dissipated, replaced by a kind of firmness and trust.
"Yes, we still have a chance." Feng Ziang's voice became firm, "Manager Shu, don't worry, I will do my best to complete this plan with you."
"Thank you, Feng Ziang." Shu Yang said sincerely, with gratitude shining in his eyes.
