Long Fei decided to use 60% of the currently available funds to build three electromagnetic rail elevators.

The Dion Empire did not build an electromagnetic orbital elevator in the Martian circle. The main reason is that their spacecraft, whether civilian or military, can fly directly out of the atmosphere from the ground.

On the contrary, civilian spacecraft in the colonial sphere and the Earth sphere, and even military warships of some countries, do not have the ability to fly out of the atmosphere from a gravity environment.

At that time, when many national delegations came to attend Long Fei's coronation ceremony, most of the national delegations landed on Mars on the Tianyi Empire's spacecraft.

Only the spacecraft of some major countries can land on Mars and then fly out of the atmosphere from the ground.

This also made Long Fei realize the problem. If the Tianyi Empire wanted to do trade with the entire international community, it must have an electromagnetic orbital elevator station like the Earth Sphere.

Because civilian merchant ships from all over the world need to rely on electromagnetic rail elevator stations to enter and exit.

For the sake of trade and finance of the Tianyi Empire, the Tianyi Empire must build an electromagnetic orbital elevator station.

"The remaining 40% of available funds will probably be used to build facilities such as ocean ports and high-speed railways."

"Everything costs money. It is undoubtedly wishful thinking to restore the normal trade and economic level of the Martian circle within one or two years. In addition to money, time, human and material resources are also important."

"The biggest problem in the Martian sphere right now is the severe underpopulation. 320 million people is a large population base for some colonial countries, but it is considered small for a habitable planet."

Long Fei continued to look at the document. The current per capita income of the people in the Tianyi Empire was much lower than that of the previous dynasty, only about 1/3 of that of the previous dynasty.

"In terms of GDP, we need to find ways to increase per capita income. The higher the per capita income, the richer the people will be, and the more taxes they will pay. The more tax revenue we get, the better the country will be able to build."

"I created this empire with my own hands, and I also created this group of companies with my own hands. No matter which side it is, I cannot leave a mess for my heirs."

After saying this, Long Fei twisted his neck and stretched his waist. He actually felt a little tired.

At this time, Taoxiang walked into Long Fei's office, holding a bowl of ginseng soup she had made for her husband. Her husband had been very busy recently.

Taoxiang also tries her best to help her husband share the work burden. Her husband often works until late at night and even sleeps in the office.

"I made you some ginseng soup. Drink it to refresh yourself."

"Hmm." Long Fei blew it and then drank the ginseng soup that his wife made for him.

Taoxiang reached out and massaged her husband's shoulders, then said as she did so: "Tomorrow is December 15th, your son's first birthday. Take some time to celebrate with your son."

"Okay." Long Fei knew that he had been working and fighting for long hours and had not found much time to spend with his wife and children.

His son, Long Quan, was not very close to him, and Long Fei knew that if he continued like this, his relationship with his son would become very cold.

Long Fei could remember that his son was almost one year old now. He called his mother, sister, and aunt affectionately, but his voice was a little stiff when he called him father.

Even Longquan was a little reluctant to be hugged by him.

Tao Xiang saw a design on Long Fei's desk and asked, "Could this be a star gate that only appears in science fiction movies?"

"It is indeed a star gate. I plan to build two, one in the Martian circle and the other at Mercenary Base No. 0. This will shorten the time and cost of trade transportation. Of course, this is only theoretical, but it depends on how it works in practice."

Tao Xiang asked: "The problem is that even if we build two star gates, it will be a huge expense, right? Can the funds allow it?"

"The Stargate cannot be completed in one or two years. We will use some of the available funds to build the first part first, and then allocate funds to build the required stages in the next few years."

“How many years will it take to build?”

"The Tianyi Empire currently has no problem with its material resources, but in terms of manpower, it will take at most five years. Moreover, all the manpower is now invested in other construction projects. The manpower required to build the stargate is seriously insufficient. It has exceeded the target to complete the construction of two stargates in ten years."

"However, those automated machines and the equipment operated by Haro can replace a lot of manpower and shorten the construction time."

"I have taken all of what you said into account, but many details require manpower to adjust. These large projects cannot be completed in one year. To be honest, the construction plans I am working on now are also five to ten years of engineering plans."

"..." Taoxiang didn't say anything else, because she didn't know much about the construction of the country, and continued to massage her husband with her hands.

Long Fei went on to say: "Now the primary construction equipment, the ground construction equipment is the top priority, even more so than the construction of the electromagnetic rail elevator station, because these equipment are the most important equipment for the people. At least the high-speed rail and the ocean port are needed by local enterprises and the people, at least they can promote domestic trade, domestic demand and flow."

"Hubby, it seems that you are not only good at research and development, but also good at doing business and even managing a country."

"No, I'm good at this kind of economic business, but if you want to use political means, I'm an outsider."

Long Fei looked at the star gate design and decided to allocate 5% of the available funds to the star gate as the funds needed for its construction.

…

On December 15th, Longquan’s birthday, ministers from various departments brought their wives and children to wish the little prince Longquan a happy birthday.

As a father, Long Fei will definitely attend his son's birthday party.

Longquan looked at the father in front of him with his lively eyes. With his own powerful new human abilities, he did not need any verbal communication with his father. Through spiritual communication, both father and son could understand each other.

Long Fei took Longquan from his wife and hugged Longquan.

Watching my son become more and more like me.

Longquan’s birthday cake was also a chocolate mousse cake made by his mother.

Long Fei looked at the chocolate mousse cake and recalled the chocolate mousse cake that Taoxiang had made for him that year. It was also the year that they established their relationship.

Then everyone sang a birthday song for Longquan. After that, Longquan used his little mouth to blow out the candles. Unfortunately, Longquan was still a baby and could not blow out the candle flame at all.

Finally, Dad and Mom blew out the candles for Longquan.

Each minister gave a birthday gift to Prince Longquan.

Those piles of birthday gifts did not attract much interest or attention from Longquan. Instead, Longquan looked left and right at the surrounding environment and everyone present.

Longquan discovered that among the people at the scene, none of the new humans had mental power comparable to his father, and many of them even had mental power inferior to his mother.

"I want my mother to hold me." Long Fei sensed the mental fluctuations of his son in his arms.

Taoxiang, who was standing next to Long Fei, also sensed her son's mental fluctuations, and she immediately took her son from her husband's arms.

Longquan soon fell asleep in his mother's arms, and Taoxiang left the scene and took her son to his bedroom.
