Chapter 1010, Spending Points
The grace points that Gu Hang can earn are tens of billions every month as the war and the alliance's local development continue.
And tens of billions of dollars are spent every month.
These spent grace points become additional fuel for the alliance—now, the entire empire—to move forward.
In the new government, there are so many administrative officials who come from the alliance. Why are they all so outstanding?
That's because the Alliance boasts a comprehensive education system. These academies, whether specialized or specialized, like Zhongsi College, which specializes in advanced studies and offers a bit of a gilded appeal, are mostly enhanced projects that Gu Hang redeemed through the system's [Architecture] interface. After being enhanced, the educational level of many academies has been significantly improved, significantly increasing the probability of producing talented individuals.
At the same time, it is also because the so-called talents who can reach a certain level are still inspired by Gu Hang's extensive use of the [Hero] interface.
Excluding the upgrade cost, ten points of grace are needed for one, which directly provides some enhancement items according to the individual's potential level. In addition, most people have gone through Zhongsi Colleges in various places. In any case, they are definitely much better than the average level in terms of ideology and morality, loyalty to the cause, and love for the empire.
Another point that cannot be ignored is that the coalition government can fully realize the ability to "know people and use them well".
The attributes of these talents, inspired by these gift points, clearly reveal what this person is best at. At the same time, the extent of this person's talent can be determined by the level and rarity of the talent.
This kind of judgment cannot determine a person's future. After all, Gu Hang has seen more than once that the rarity of his enlightened people can change after certain unique personal experiences - some increase, some decrease.
Not to mention, with long-term practical experience, talents can also upgrade themselves. It's just that when Gu Hang forcibly injects grace points to increase the level, it will be particularly fast, while the time required for the character to upgrade on its own is much longer.
But in general, at least looking at this person at the moment, it is very accurate.
The alliance is able to use the instructions and information given by the Governor to place the right people in the right positions.
This is also a manifestation of General Manager Gu Hang's personnel power.
The official system composed of such people is professional, efficient, reliable and loyal.
Although there is always corruption, dereliction of duty, and even corruption by Chaos, overall it looks much better than the situation under the rule of human empires in the past.
Such a large and high-level group of civil servants is the core reason why the alliance can ensure the correct and efficient implementation of its own system.
No matter how perfect a system is, it still needs people to implement it. Without good people, any system can be ruined. With good people, even the worst system can be improved.
…
Besides talent, grace points also require exchange for buildings. How difficult would it be to improve the production efficiency of individual factories? Either they need to conduct process research and development and renovation, but that requires a huge investment with no known returns; or they need to reform and optimize management and systems, which is equally difficult and, if not done right, can lead to disastrous results.
But with 100 points of grace, the bonus to a primary factory would result in a significant increase in production capacity. This was manifested in increased worker efficiency, rapid technological advancements, improved machine tool precision, and a decrease in failure rates... The effects were clearly visible across the board.
And now, Gu Hang can spend 300 million grace points in this area every month.
That means that up to three million factories distributed across different star regions of the empire can have their production capacity enhanced.
Of course, in reality, there wouldn't be that many. Because at some key factories, Gu Hang could exchange for more than just a first-level factory, but could even exchange for a fifth-level factory—which meant millions of grace points.
But the amplification effect will be more obvious, and it is usually used in some particularly important industries. For example, shipyards, large-scale energy conversion centers, mineral smelting centers, Titan manufacturing centers...
At present, Gu Hang has a general plan for the cost of factory exchange.
The most important place is the area from the north of the Eastern Universe to the south of the Spider Web Universe.
This is the Alliance's 'Dragon's Birthplace' and the place where it has been operating the longest. The Angry Owl Star, the Pegasus Star Region, the Dragon Eagle Star Region...are the core of this region.
About 25% of the gift points that Gu Hang spends on improving production capacity every month are spent here.
Centralizing production capacity certainly has its benefits, especially in the current global environment where shipping is difficult and the efficiency gains from scale concentration are becoming increasingly apparent.
In reality, the "Old Alliance Zone," centered around the Dragon Eagle star field and linked to two or three surrounding star fields, is truly the most developed and productive region in the entire Alliance—or even the entire Empire. It embodies the essence of over a hundred, nearly two hundred years of Alliance development.
Just this old alliance area can support an expedition of four army levels at most - of course, we can't really push it to that extreme, as it would be too much of a squeeze.
Excessive centralization is not a good thing either. All eggs should not be put in one cage.
Although the Alliance has done a good job in protecting the core areas, except for the period of the Comoros War when the Central Front was mobilized, the entire front, or even the largest and most powerful Central Front among all the fronts, has always stayed in the core territory of the Alliance.
However, no one can ensure that all risks are eliminated.
What's more, as the expedition goes further and further, the alliance's supply lines will be stretched longer and longer.
If every lost warship and every lost Titan had to be transported from the core territories, the expedition would be severely restricted.
The alliance has also consciously established one industrial belt after another in other places.
The model is often centered on a planet or star region that was already relatively developed before the war, radiating to an entire star field or multiple star fields around it to form an industrial belt.
Wuji Star, the capital of the Eastern Universe, is a particularly good example. In the Spider Web Universe, Lingze Star, once the core hub for trade between the Alliance and the Empire, also leveraged its locational advantages and its superior infrastructure to successfully transform itself into a new industrial hub after enduring the pain of more than a decade of trade severance following the Scarlet Scar.
And similar examples are being replicated in many places throughout the universe.
Of all the gift points that Gu Hang spent to exchange for factories, 60% were invested in this area.
Another 15% of the gift points are spent on Holy Terra.
