Chapter 121
Hearing him say this, Chu Xiu knew what he was planning.
"You mean to let them go back."
"Well, as for the time, let's set it two days later." Qi Heng nodded, thinking about another thing in his mind.
The renovation of Gathering Place No. 1 has been very successful so far. In this case, the renovation of Gathering Place No. 2 can be put on the agenda.
Let them go back, they will be of great use.
According to A0's summary of weather data for this period, the temperature will drop to its lowest point in five days, and from that day onwards the daytime temperature will not be higher than minus ten degrees Celsius for the next few months.
According to the Tianjia Zerg on Tianyun Star, it is the harsh winter season.
The physical constitution of the Tianjia Zerg makes it impossible for them to move around outside for a long time. At this time, they have a lot of free time, which can be utilized by him.
"Okay." Chu Xiu had no objection.
"You don't ask me why?" Although it was expected, it was a bit too obedient.
"You'll definitely tell me anything I need to know. If you don't, that doesn't mean I don't need to know." Chu Xiu's lips curled up slightly, his voice revealing a certain solemnity as he said, "--Any decision you make, I will do my best to implement it."
Faced with Chu Xiu's trust, Qi Heng's mouth twitched slightly.
He had seen Chu Xiu in his dreams, but only a few times. He actually didn't know what the relationship between Chu Xiu and the Lord was like.
For now, it seems that I may still need to adapt.
The above thoughts flashed through Qi Heng's mind, but for Chu Xiu, he hesitated for only a moment.
He decided to change the subject and resolve the Zerg issue first... After that, he had something difficult to say to Chu Xiu.
"In two days, those who want to leave must sign that agreement."
"Is there a problem?"
The so-called agreement can be called a "confidentiality agreement" or a "debt repayment agreement" or an "employee contract", which means that the more than 300 rescued female insects need to pay an equivalent price to "redeem" their personal freedom.
They all need to work for him until they complete the agreement.
Well, this kind of agreement would definitely restrict personal freedom, force purchases and sales, and be extremely immoral on Earth. But on Tianyun Star, and for the current Tianjia Zerg, it is actually a good choice.
Qi Heng was not worried that someone would be unwilling to sign. After a period of study, they should understand that this was a good job. If they worked hard, they could not only change their own future, but also the future of the entire race.
——Although he likes to exploit his employees, he is not so cruel as to not provide them with basic benefits. If conditions permit, he will give employees the benefits that are most suitable for them at this stage.
After all, the Tianjia Zerg are not the original Zerg. They are truly intelligent creatures. If they are used as tool insects like the original Zerg, it may pose a hidden danger to future development.
...Well, it might be possible to reveal my identity as the master in the future, but there's no need for that.
He needed employees who would push themselves to work overtime, not slaves who needed supervision. If he continued to treat the Tianjia Zerg as slaves, then what difference would it make from the Ikar Civilization and the Star Alliance?
At this time, Chu Xiu's voice sounded.
"I talked to them about it and they all agreed."
Chu Xiu didn't think there was anything wrong with the agreement His Excellency the Lord had mentioned. He said in a gentle tone, "The agreement will be signed by them before they leave, and all of it will be kept electronically on file. Regarding the arrangements for their return, we've also drafted a rough plan based on your ideas..."
Qi Heng felt emotional when he heard this.
Having a capable subordinate like Chu Xiu really saves me a lot of worries. It would be great if there were more of them.
"There's just one more question."
Hearing Chu Xiu's words, Qi Heng nodded: "You go ahead."
"Once they leave the dungeon, we won't be able to learn about their movements, and there will be no way to contact them afterwards." Chu Xiu frowned slightly. This was very important. No way to contact them meant no way to monitor their behavior, and uncontrollable factors would increase.
"Yan and the others can't use blue-tailed butterflies to transmit messages, and it's impossible for them to keep an eye on so many insects..." The communication method of the original Zerg is currently only available to a few people, and Yan and the others are not among them.
The questions raised by Chu Xiu hit the nail on the head at the moment.
"This problem will be resolved soon."
This was also the reason why Qi Heng agreed to rebuild the QW network. It was too inconvenient without a means of communication. They could also use blue-tailed butterflies to communicate with each other, but other Zerg could not do that.
"This is one of the QW-1 modules of the QW system's subnet." As he spoke, a cube the size of an adult's fist appeared in his hand.
"It contains signal receiving and transmitting devices. When placed at a designated location and linked to other modules, it will form a network covering an area. Using a communicator in this area to connect to the network will allow communication."
Qi Heng handed over the cube.
"Star Sea Supervisor." This was Chu Xiu's first reaction after hearing his words. Looking at the cube in his hand, he said with some surprise, "From what I remember, part of the QW system was destroyed. Is this the remaining part in your hand?"
"It was rebuilt. The original QW system was split up and continuously combined and covered in the form of subnets..." Qi Heng paused before continuing, "In the future, perhaps we can restore it to its past state."
Chu Xiu was not unfamiliar with the QW system, but he was not familiar with it either. At least he couldn't rebuild it.
In response to His Excellency the Lord's words, Chu Xiu said with great confidence, "It will definitely work."
Qi Heng was not surprised to see Chu Xiu was so confident in him. He guessed that in his eyes, "master" was equivalent to being omnipotent.
Chu Xiu fiddled with the black cube in his hand and found that one side was slightly dented. Without hesitation, he pressed it down, and the smooth metal surface popped up, revealing the device inside.
The device under the metal surface is a shallow groove.
[Your Excellency, that is where the energy crystal is placed. One crystal can sustain operation for a year.]
[It can be refined from obsidian crystal ore. One standard unit crystal supporting the module operation requires approximately 15 kilograms of obsidian crystal.]
Qi Heng asked A0 to refine one, raised his hand and put it into the device, and relayed to Chu Xiu what A0 had just said.
"Take this one back and put it in the office. When the other modules are installed and linked, you can directly use the optical computer to connect to the domain and log in."
A0 is in charge of the QW-1 system, and it will be easy to grant permissions to the optical computer used by Chu Xiu.
Chu Xiu held the cube and nodded to show that he understood.
Qi Heng thought of the communicator placed in Base No. 2 and said, "The communicator for communication will be sent to you tomorrow. It's up to you to decide how to distribute it. I trust your choice."
"Yes." Chu Xiu didn't even realize that the corners of his lips curled up when he heard the last sentence.
Qi Heng, who was standing opposite Chu Xiu, saw it but didn't care. He had just finished speaking, and the next thing to talk about was a private matter that was not easy to say out loud.
He was thinking about how to start the conversation when he suddenly heard Chu Xiu say something that caught him off guard.
