Chapter 185, Treatment of C9-level employees
By the time the entire situation was reported up through the various levels and became known to Gu Hang, it was already two days.
This efficiency is not low, but Gu Hang still has to be thankful that there was no omission of information along the way.
The clerk named Jason Morgan did not refuse to report the other party because he did not understand what the other party said. When the Immigration Bureau heard that there was a strange person who might be a key talent, they reported it directly to the Ministry of Civil Affairs. After hearing the news, Ossena sent him a letter...
When Gu Hang received the news, he had just spent his grace points to build the [Technical College].
After learning that there was a man under his command who claimed to be the "Engine Prophet", Gu Hang laughed out loud.
Of course Gu Hang knew what level the Engine Prophet was.
In the rank system of the Mechanicus, there is a complete promotion line from Junior Specialist to Technical Specialist to Mechanician to Mechanic Priest to Engine Prophet. Engine Prophet can be considered a middle-level figure in the Mechanicus. Above that is the Ruler Bishop. This rank is even the highest figure in some forge worlds controlled by the Mechanicus. Some Forge Generals are actually just Ruler Bishops.
In contrast, Wu Jiarong was originally just a technical specialist with the level of a mechanic, and was sent to the surface of the Angry Owl Star. It was only through her in-depth research on the black box in the past six months that she made rapid progress and barely reached the level of a mechanical priest.
But even so, Wu Jiarong has been able to provide tremendous help in many scientific and technological projects.
What if there is an even more powerful engine prophet?
He specializes in genetic engineering, and a series of technologies such as servoskulls, soilless farms, medical technology, and robot transformation are his corresponding areas.
Even if it is some unspecialized technology, if he is given time to study it, he will do no worse than Wu Jiarong - or even better.
Secondly, sending him to the newly established technical college as a lecturer would also be a way out, at least freeing up half of Wu Jiarong's time.
Gu Hang would not think that he could replace Wu Jiarong just because he had an engine prophet.
Wu Jiarong's most important responsibility to Gu Hang is to guard the many black boxes he has produced.
This matter does not require technical ability, but sufficient loyalty. She has done a good job in the past six months, and Gu Hang does not want to change the candidate.
Who knows if this new guy is reliable?
What's more, it is still unknown whether Gu Hang, the engine prophet, has really reached the level he claims.
However, this does not prevent Gu Hang from taking this matter very seriously.
Whether it is true or not, you will know after taking it out for a spin.
On the one hand, he notified Wu Jiarong to come to Fuxing City to meet the Engine Prophet with him. On the other hand, he sent out a Wind Falcon formation to pick up people in the north of Qinggu area.
The distance between them is several hundred kilometers, and it takes a long time to drive here. But for Fengshuan, he can go there and come back the same day, in less than two hours.
The Wind Falcon, which is equipped with an anti-gravity engine and can take off and land vertically, doesn't even need an airport. All it needs is a flat landing place.
The Governor did not have to wait long before the two falcons landed on the Governor's tower one after another.
This is his office, which was recently completed. It is a renovation of the old Union Parliament Building. Several helipads have been built on the roof and on the balcony extending outside the office hall to facilitate aircraft takeoff and landing.
With the Feng Falcon, not to mention the role it can play in the war, Gu Hang feels that he has saved a lot of time. The Feng Falcon, which is capable of supersonic cruise, allows Gu Hang to travel to any area currently under the actual control of the alliance in less than an hour.
Especially from Fuxing City to Weixing City, for Fengshuan, it is almost a matter of take-off and landing, and it only takes a few minutes.
This greatly facilitated Gu Hang's travel, allowing him to easily travel back and forth between multiple places within a day. He could visit the factories in Weixing City with his own eyes, visit the troops on the front line, and go to Gaota Province or Zhongbei Province to see how the local reconstruction plans were going.
The limits of the scope of domination depend on the limits of information transmission.
Of course, within the planet, normal means of communication can basically cover the entire planet, but if Gu Hang, the ruler, can also appear anywhere at a very fast speed and at will, it will also be of great help to the improvement of ruling power.
The first Falcon to land brought Wu Jiarong with it.
Gu Hang chatted with her briefly about the progress of her current scientific research project, but the conversation had only been going on for a while when the second Feng Falcon arrived.
An unprepossessing middle-aged man, led by a guard, entered Gu Hang's office.
After a brief introduction, under the deliberate guidance of Gu Hang and Wu Jiarong, they continued the previous topic.
The man named Hu Ke was silent for a moment. After he understood what they were talking about, he smoothly joined in the conversation.
The three of us chatted in the office for almost two hours.
At the beginning, Gu Hang was able to keep up with the topic, mainly by raising requirements and asking about progress. In the middle, when the discussion got to more in-depth technical content, he mainly listened in and didn't understand much, but the other two chatted more and more enthusiastically.
By the final stage, when Gu Hang could no longer understand anything, even Wu Jiarong's speech became less and less, and he turned to listening and thinking. It was mainly Hu Ke who was talking, and Wu Jiarong even looked like she was benefiting a lot.
At this point, even if Gu Hang didn't ask Wu Jiarong's opinion, he could tell that the man in front of him was indeed an engine prophet.
Finally, he ended the topic.
There is no way, I don’t understand. Let the specific technical problems be left to specific people to solve. There is no need for him, the governor, to continue wasting time here.
He coughed lightly and said, "Mr. Hu, let's talk about your past. I'm curious, how did an engine prophet of the Mechanicus end up on the Wrathful Owl Planet?"
Speaking of this, Hu Ke sighed and told his past experiences.
After listening to it, Gu Hang also felt quite sad.
"War has destroyed the good lives of countless people," Gu Hang said, "but war is also the only way for humans to survive in this never-peaceful sea of stars."
Hu Ke agreed: "You are right, but the cost is high, especially when the cost falls on specific people."
"But I promise you," Gu Hang said, "In the future, I will do my best to prevent those disasters from befalling you and your family. I am not sure that such things will never happen again, but at least as long as I can still ensure the overall stability, you will have a peaceful life. All I need is your knowledge and your loyalty."
"I remain loyal to the Emperor forever."
The middle-aged man seemed to have something else in his words, but Gu Hang didn't mind.
"That's enough."
"Now that we are here..." Hu Ke knew that he had passed the two-hour interview. The next step was to discuss his salary. "I am quite interested in the job grade rules you have established on the Angry Owl Star. I wonder what kind of job grade salary I can get from you?"
"C9." Gu Hang did not play tricks and clearly stated his thoughts. "The highest level of C level. You will have a separate large villa with a yard in Fuxing City. If you like something more lively, you can be arranged to live in a residential area. The neighbors around you are all government officials or researchers. I guarantee that your house will be the best in the community. If you like something quieter, you can also settle down in an independent villa in the suburbs."
"Needless to say, you will have enough food and clothing. There will be three E-level staff members to serve you as nannies and housekeepers. Your wife can freely choose a job. I heard that she used to like reading. The museum, archives, and library in Renaissance City are all in their infancy. We are committed to collecting pre-war artifacts and doing our best to restore the once brilliant culture of Angry Owl Star. Perhaps your wife is also willing to become a C-level staff member to contribute to the Renaissance of Angry Owl Star."
"Of course, if she doesn't want to and just wants to stay at home, that's fine. But without a specific job, her rank can't be assessed too high. Please understand this. This is the alliance's system and it won't be broken by a single person."
"Your children will receive the most complete education in the league. You may not care about this. When you have free time, the quality of your children's home education should be better than the current education level of the league. But I believe that you should still hope that your children can have a complete childhood and be able to socialize with their peers."
Hearing this, Hu Ke nodded with satisfaction.
In terms of living conditions alone, there was nothing more he could ask for.
C9, under the current system of the Alliance, is already considered very high. It is said that Ms. Ossena, who actually serves as the Prime Minister of the Alliance Government, is only at level B3. Obviously, the Governor General is deliberately keeping a higher level to facilitate future promotion.
From this perspective, he is only four levels away from the current highest level in the league.
The children and wife were properly taken care of, and he only needed to do his own thing.
"Then may I ask, what is my specific work arrangement?"
Gu Hang also gave an answer smoothly: "Under the Alliance Production Department, a Science and Technology Development Bureau will be planned. Ms. Wu Jiarong will be the director, and you will be the honorary director. You will have an independent research institute in Fuxing City, and I will try my best to assign enough assistants to assist you in your work."
"There are three main things you need to do: First, undertake various scientific research projects directly issued by the Alliance Production Department or from me, that is, the Governor's Office."
"The second is to take on the educational work of the Alliance Technical College."
“Third, as a technical advisor directly under the Governor’s Office, he can answer some of my questions when necessary.”
After listening to this carefully, Hu Ke said there was no problem.
Moreover, he immediately took the initiative in his work and reported a situation in accordance with the third work requirement put forward by the Governor.
About what happened at the southern end of Qinggu, about the Natural Salvation Society, and about his student Gowaga.
After listening to this, Gu Hang immediately frowned deeply.
"You mean... the distorted monsters that are wreaking havoc on the Wrathful Owl Star and are found almost everywhere are the products of this Natural Salvation Society? These are not just simple genetic mutations and biological variants, but also involve supernatural phenomena related to demons and originating from the abyss of hell?"
"That's generally true, but not necessarily in some places." Hu Ke corrected, "The deformed monsters on the Wrathful Owl Star should not be entirely created by the Natural Salvation Society. But they used these monsters and their dirty, corrupt demonology. They conducted inhumane experiments at the southern end of Qinggu, trying to create and control those deformed monsters on a large scale."
Gu Hang touched his chin, thinking.
If it was just a deformed monster, then it would be easy to deal with.
It's not like he had never dealt with this kind of monster before. In the woods around Weixing City, which had been almost chopped off and was now the headquarters of the Phoenix Monastery, he had once led his fledgling army and was besieged by a group of deformed monsters that were activated by some kind of evil magic from the original Angry Owl Sect.
Those monsters are a terrible threat to ordinary wasteland survivors.
They are not afraid of life or death, grow periodically, have immense strength, and even have things like Abscess Sprayers, which can almost be considered short-range biochemical cannons.
The aberrations in the Qinggu area are mostly of this type. Even if there are some strange species occasionally, generally speaking, the number is not large.
But even so, many local plantations in Qinggu still suffered severe damage and were destroyed one by one.
At present, the entire central and southern parts of Qinggu are in dire straits.
According to the latest information Gu Hang had seen, the deformed monsters were the source of the disaster. In addition to the settlements they directly destroyed, the casualties they caused, and the reduction in food production, the most terrifying thing was the secondary disasters that followed.
People will not all die. Those who have lost their plantations, food and property will not sit and wait to starve to death.
They will gather together spontaneously, compete with each other, and devour each other, so as to become a larger, stronger and more cohesive group.
Tribes of raiders were born one by one.
They will burn, kill, and loot in order to survive.
A considerable number of plantations were also destroyed by these looters.
The wave of aberrations caused the emergence of landless refugees - the landless refugees formed a tribe of plunderers - the plunderers destroyed more settlements, creating more landless refugees - forming more and larger plunderers...
The vicious cycle started rolling like a snowball.
