Chapter 98
Qi Heng looked at the direction Chu Xiu left, feeling relieved but also a little headache.
He didn't expect that just after he finished talking with Chu Xiu, Chu Xiu couldn't wait to become interested in Yan and the others, and seemed to be eager to teach them.
Or is he just a workaholic?
Maybe.
...Speaking of which, it seems that my subordinates have always been of this type, willing to work overtime and take responsibility.
In a game, this can be considered a good trait of an NPC, but in reality, it can no longer be explained by the attribute of being a workaholic.
I suddenly thought of the daily life in the game where NPC subordinates risked their lives for their masters, shedding their blood and throwing their heads.
This is also basic operation.
Qi Heng sighed. Actually, he wanted to say that he didn't need to be so aggressive. He was not an unscrupulous boss or a black-hearted capitalist. He didn't want to go and see the scenery under the street lights for the time being.
"I always feel that I have to work hard." He lowered his head and muttered to himself.
Most of the space on the fourth floor is used to store ore, and a small part is used to store star stones and various necessities moved from Bases 1 and 2, including of course the resources collected from Area 49's supplies... and the robots on the transport ships.
It’s not a good idea to just keep these things like this, but fortunately, the way to deal with them is very simple - make the best use of them.
After discussing the dungeon, the Tianjia Zerg and the Primordial Zerg with Chu Xiu just now, he already had a general idea of how to use them, and the suggestions Chu Xiu put forward were even more complete than he had imagined in some aspects.
Qi Heng hadn't forgotten Chu Xiu's original position in the Tianjia civilization. Chu Xiu could easily help share most of the work if Qi Heng was unable to do so. Therefore, he decisively decided to let Chu Xiu manage the various supplies and resource reserves, which were limited at present but would inevitably increase significantly in the future.
If the situation in the game is a 100% replica of reality, then Chu Xiu would not be bad in terms of vision, perspective or political skills. It would be a bit of a waste of his talent to let him be in charge of logistics management.
But there is no way now, Qi Heng only has a few people he can use.
Not to mention it's a waste of talent, they will probably have to take on multiple roles for a long time to make the plans work.
It is true that Qi Heng can take responsibility himself, but considering that he cannot come to the underground base in the Dead Egg Pit every day, it is necessary to set up someone who can take charge of the overall situation, and Chu Xiu can be said to be the best choice in this regard.
The Tianjia civilization no longer exists, and the empire has also perished, but the hierarchy that was once established alongside the original Zerg did not perish with it.
Currently, the people in the Dead Egg Pit who can order the Primordial Zerg to do things and give them orders are, in absolute order, first himself, second the commander, and third Chu Xiu. No matter from which perspective, Chu Xiu's existence is indispensable.
Qi Heng's mind was working very fast, and a large number of ideas appeared, disappeared, and reappeared in his mind every moment.
In the past, he never thought that he could bother to consider the life and death of civilization outside of the game, but he had to admit that life was sometimes so fucked up, and you could never imagine what unexpected things would happen in the future.
While thinking, he can also make time to communicate with A0 in his mind.
[A0, report the current total system energy.]
[Yes, Your Excellency, the system currently has 23,760 units of remaining energy.]
Qi Heng had an idea and opened the system panel. The subsystem pages that appeared were still mostly gray.
As he turned the pages, the subsystem "Item Manufacturing" came into view. When he focused his attention on "Item Manufacturing," a line of small black characters appeared on it.
'The system will consume 5000 energy points to reactivate this subsystem. Do you want to activate it?'
Qi Heng chose yes.
The next moment, 5,000 energy points were deducted, and the originally gray font of [Item Manufacturing] turned golden, and in the blink of an eye it became a brilliant golden color.
[[Item Manufacturing] subsystem activated.]
He clicked [Item Manufacturing] and a familiar page appeared before his eyes.
[Function Introduction: With a complete blueprint and sufficient energy and raw materials, you can manufacture any technological/spiritual item, capped at the civilization's current technological level.]
With the system in place, it would be easy to climb the technology tree again, but Qi Heng was not interested in doing it again.
That would be such a waste of time.
The changes on Tianyun Star could be concealed for a short period of time, but relying on continued stable development was impossible. Although the time of "exposure" hadn't been clearly identified, it was bound to occur. His only task was to maximize the strength of the current Tianjia civilization before that time arrived.
However, despite this, it is obviously not possible to replicate the history of the rise of the original Tianjia civilization.
The current interstellar social environment is different from the civilization in the past when there were hunters with hunting rifles everywhere... It’s not that the Tianjia Zerg can’t take this path again, but after all, this is not a game. For Qi Heng who is in this world, he has no interest in being an executioner or a tyrant.
Qi Heng put it simply about the current situation, saying that it was like he was starting a new game, but this time he was trying a gentler development path.
Although he was gentle, he hadn't really turned into a rabbit. If some civilization thought that Tianjia was easy to bully, he wouldn't mind tearing off his disguise and showing them his martial virtues, such as "natural disasters".
Qi Heng had a smile on his face, and even the high price quoted by A0 Lion did not make him feel any worse.
A circle of small squares appeared on the item manufacturing interface, and one of the squares was filled with a low-end version of the QW module's blueprint, which had been parsed by A0 long ago.
Your Excellency, our civilization currently lacks the ability to manufacture sophisticated electronic components, smelt, or synthesize metals. This requires system energy to synthesize after inputting raw materials. Each unit of the QW module consumes a total of 1500 grams of various basic metal elements.
[Ore mining requires gold, silver, copper, iron, etc. to synthesize into the required T3 alloy. The internal parts consume 150 units, and the total weight of each unit of the module is 450 grams...]
The reserves of various resource mines on Tianyun Star are not small. Judging from the records in the base, except for rare minerals such as obsidian crystal, which are counted among the rarest in the entire starry sky, most of the metal mines have never been mined.
As A0 spoke, pages of several metal mines marked by Qi Heng popped up. The main metals and associated metals in these metal mines were different. Not only could they be used in the manufacture of QW modules, but other metals could also be smelted and extracted after the subsequent metal smelting plant was established.
——Building a dungeon requires a huge amount of metal. It is unrealistic to rely entirely on the system for conversion. Besides, it is not that difficult to build a metal smelting plant.
With the help of blueprints, skilled workers and a large group of tireless tool bugs, it doesn't take too long to build it from scratch.
【Drawing: A0 provided.
Technician: A robot from a transport ship of the Ikar civilization, who can become a skilled worker in a metal smelting plant after undergoing system modification and loading the program written by A0.
Tool Bug: Building a metal smelter requires digging foundations, structures, etc. It is indispensable.
Everything is ready, except for the tool worms responsible for excavating the base and the mining worms responsible for digging ore.
The site chosen for the metal smelting plant wasn't far from several mines. According to the underground city's planning, that area would be considered an industrial zone after the mines were cleared, making it convenient for the future establishment of other factories...
Qi Heng opened the long-missed personal attribute interface. The content displayed on it was more than the last time, and it was getting closer to the appearance he was familiar with in the past.

…
After reading it, Qi Heng fell into deep thought.
The fusion progress in this body is increasing slowly. 5% is not ideal, but it is also within expectations.
A new title was quietly added: Civilization Revivalist... This inexplicably sounded like a mockery of myself.
Mental strength and star power... Mental strength hasn't been used much recently, so consumption and recovery are roughly equal. Star power is almost reaching red quality and is steadily increasing.
There's not much to say about the newly added 'Building' category. Bases 1, 2, and 3 weren't even worthy of being included in this category before, let alone the Deep Blue's escape ship... It's only worthy of being included in the dungeon, which has almost no progress.
The damaged Star Stones were reduced to zero, mainly because they were all distributed to the Primordial Zerg for consumption. The intact Star Stones were mainly obtained from Bases 1 and 2, and the current reserves were very considerable. Whether they were used for cultivation or distributed to the Primordial Zerg, they would last for a period of time.
The percentage in the 'Subordinates' category is the result of the system quantifying the other party's loyalty to itself after a comprehensive analysis of the other party. It can be used as a reference, but it cannot be fully trusted.
The Commander and Chu Xiu are not strange at all, and neither are Lei and Inper.
The former is because they pledged allegiance to the master thousands of years ago, and the latter is probably because they are unable to rebel under the parasitism of the brain worm, so they are counted as 100% by the system.
——After all, before they rebel, the brain worm will first notice it and then give them a fatal blow.
Thinking of this, he no longer cared about the loyalty of others. Generally speaking, no matter how high or low their loyalty was, it would not have any impact on the current development.
On the contrary, more energy was retained than he had originally expected.
Putting aside the ore required for module manufacturing, just producing 49 units to cover the entire No. 2 settlement requires an additional 7,350 energy points. In other words, without considering other factors, the current energy reserves are sufficient to repair the system's built-in folding space.
Not only enough, but also more than enough.

The author has something to say: I took a day off yesterday because I burned my finger while cooking last night. What a coincidence, it was my fingertip. I couldn't stand typing_(:з」∠)_
I said I would make up for yesterday's work, but I have to get up very early tomorrow and I'm super sleepy, so I can only make up a little bit now. I will continue to make up tomorrow√
