Chapter 408 Phase One Base
With the temporary work of Bai Chenxue as his boss, Yun Ling quickly defeated the boss and completed the order smoothly - he just didn't feel comfortable to collect the money.
"It's okay! It was a temporary power outage after all! No one wants this to happen, it's understandable! I didn't contribute anything, so I still have to give it to you!"
Bai Chenxue stuffed the money into Yun Ling's hands without question, and then took advantage of the effect of the speed water to run away.
Seeing that Bai Chenxue had paid the money, the other two bosses felt embarrassed to get it for free, so they also paid the balance.
With this hard-earned "work money", Yun Ling privately asked Han Yilai through a third-party chat software: "Junior brother! Haven't you climbed up yet? Why did our base suddenly lose power for so long!"
Han Yi replied quickly: "It will take a while, mainly because the base is expanding. The new building has been built, and they are debugging the circuit over there, so they shut down this side first. It seems that this is because the entire electricity supply in our base is connected by a separate line... I don't quite understand!"
"Oh, right! Then I'll go practice first, and I'll take your orders when you can come up!"
Yun Ling suddenly realized.
She just remembered that a long time ago, the higher-ups had approved the expansion of the base. It was said that all the personnel originally in the defense and harmony team would move here because the firewall system here was better.
However, she thought that this matter would be delayed for several months! After all, the cooperation between the Flower Planting Family and α was a highly confidential project, and its importance was self-evident. The construction standards of the base were even benchmarked against aerospace engineering. Unexpectedly, in just half a month, the first phase of the project was completed!
"This is only the first phase of delivery. There will be several more phases to come. This phase is just to get all the members involved in the project to move to the base as soon as possible. Other facilities, including experimental equipment and research laboratories, are all in the plan for the second phase of the project."
Wang Qiqing, who was also forced to go offline because of the "power outage", secretly approached the door of Aunt Wang's office to inquire about the situation.
"That's fast! It's only been half a month! It's really amazing!"
Wang Qiqing was so surprised that he smacked his lips and was filled with emotion.
When this project was under construction, it was always surrounded by super-high walls and green cloth. No one knew the construction situation inside. Only occasionally when passing by could one hear the sounds of various construction teams... Unexpectedly, in just half a month, a small building rose from the ground!
Aunt Wang introduced: "Actually, it's mainly the dormitory building. The shorter container house is a temporary workshop. When the time comes, we will enter the game in that room... Although this dormitory building is only eight stories high, it can actually accommodate 4,000 people. However, in order to speed up the progress, the higher-ups approved the standard of six-person rooms. The conditions are quite difficult. The first thing to be built in the second phase of the project is also the dormitory building, but by then it will be a six-person room with independent rooms."
Wang Qiqing was a little dissatisfied: "Why is it still a six-person room? Didn't the money approved by the higher-ups be quite a lot?"
"You don't have to live there," Aunt Wang explained, "The six-person room was something that the higher-ups had considered repeatedly, because the minimum team unit set by α is five people, and the extra person is a logistics and backup member of the team... We originally wanted to design a five-person room, but considering unexpected situations and the objective conditions of the α world, we added a position for logistics personnel.
"People like you who are participating in the research work will temporarily stay in the single rooms here. When the third phase of the project is completed, you will move to better double rooms."
Wang Qiqing was stunned: "No, how could it be downgraded?!"
Aunt Wang smiled and said, "The accommodation in the new building is better. Although it's a double room, they all have their own bathroom. The only difference is that they share a kitchen and living room. If you don't want to eat in the cafeteria, you can cook for yourself... And considering that this is a long-term project, you can live with your family members and sign a confidentiality agreement. Of course, you still have to sacrifice some of your freedom in other areas. You should understand this."
"Oh my! Such a good treatment!"
Wang Qiqing's eyes lit up when he heard this - he hadn't been home for a long time due to the project team's work. If he hadn't had a video call with his wife occasionally, his children would probably not have recognized him!
"Yes, the α community of the third phase of the project is mainly for construction. The beneficiaries are all members of the project team, including those in their farming communities. In addition to the six-person dormitories arranged for work, they can also apply for this kind of community like you, and can also live with their families, with the same treatment!"
When Wang Qiqing heard the words "Phase III Project", his fiery heart suddenly cooled down: "Tsk, but that's already Phase III, I don't know when it will be completed!"
"It will be soon, in a year or two," Aunt Wang was just putting away a stack of documents, tapping the table to align the papers, and handed the documents over to Wang Qiqing, motioning for him to take a look, while talking about other things: "The day after tomorrow, the "Ten Continents" will be maintained. This maintenance will only take six hours, and then the new copy [Endless Return] will be opened. In fact, the α side negotiated with the Quanxian tribe and the Dragon tribe about the five-color formation, so that we can all enter the five-color formation to help. The meaning of α is probably training soldiers, so that the people of our flower-growing family can be familiar with the real combat methods of the Return Realm, and by the way, spur everyone to practice. You also know that ordinary people are really not doing their jobs properly...
"In addition, the Arctic Island is also entering the final stage of construction. By then, most research institutes will have to move there or build branches. What are your plans for the Spiritual Qi Research Institute? Strictly speaking, the project team cannot interfere with your Spiritual Qi Research Institute, which is a private industry. But after all, the focus of the Flower Growers will be on the construction of the Arctic Island in the future. The population there is sparse, and there are no indigenous monks or sects. It is currently completely under the control of α and is the most suitable territory. So it is conceivable that the infrastructure there will be more complete in the future..."
"Move! We must move!"
Without waiting for Aunt Wang to finish, Wang Qiqing flipped through the documents and said firmly: "Many research projects at the Reiki Research Institute require an environment that is as free of interference as possible. For this, I almost go bald every time I go to do tests in the early morning! If I could move to the Arctic Ocean and take advantage of the project team, it would save a lot of trouble!"
"Okay, then I'll report your Reiki Research Institute when I go back. I'll send this information to the group later, so you can take a closer look at it then."
Aunt Wang said, looked at her watch, took the document back, stood up, straightened her wrinkled clothes, and walked out of the office, leaving only one sentence -
"I have to go to a meeting first!"
