For the next three days, Qi Zhen, Bu Yidao and the others stayed in the Fusion Formation until the fourth day when they had to go to work.
Refining is really fascinating.
As soon as she took over the job at Emperor Star, she received a piece of bombshell news. At 7:05 this morning, the Monitoring Bureau detected that the world was about to recover.
Qi Zhen was stunned immediately, and a sentence came to her mind unconsciously, is it going to be spring?
After a few years of stability, she seemed to have forgotten that it was still winter, a winter when people suffered from hunger, cold and strange beasts.
This kind of mentality is unacceptable.
She hurriedly adjusted her mentality, and suddenly thought of a very serious problem. The alien beasts that had been hungry all winter must be extremely violent. Whether they were developed planets or inhabited planets, they were the targets of their hunting.
The difficulty of collecting in the wild increases!
And...
Base crisis!
Thinking of this, Qi Zhen stood up suddenly and happened to see the notice of a meeting in the group. She felt relieved and hurriedly packed up the documents on the table and went to find her immediate superior.
This is the first time for Qi Zhen to attend such a meeting. Because the alchemy department was far away from the conference room, when she and the alchemy director arrived, the seats were almost full.
She realized that it was not an internal meeting of the alliance, but a high-level meeting from the federation.
Not only are the three giants of the alliance here, but all military commanders and governors from each main planet are also here.
Qi Zhen's rank as a fifth-level officer is not considered high enough in front of the big bosses. She was originally not qualified to participate in such a meeting, even if she is a full-professional assistant.
But for some unknown reason, the person presiding over the meeting made an exception and allowed them, the deputy ministers of various professional departments, to also participate.
The seats are naturally not much better, the last row, the last.
Of course, her immediate boss was no better, he was only one row ahead of her.
On the contrary, Xiao Jing, because of his high status in the professional league, although he did not reach the main table, he was still in the first row.
Well, good, promising.
The meeting got right to the point at the beginning without even setting the stage.
The discussions were all about the crises and countermeasures caused by the warming climate and the tyranny of alien beasts.
“The Inspection Bureau responded that by September next year at the latest, the temperature will rise back above zero and the ice and snow will completely melt. By then, all planets will inevitably have a full-scale outbreak of beasts and completely enter hell mode.”
p>With just a few words from the federal executive, the atmosphere in the conference room instantly became solemn.
Everyone can think of this problem, but the key is how to deal with it. Sure enough, the Archon said again, "What good measures do you have to deal with it?"
Each main planet The leader lowered his head and carefully checked the information at hand, frowning in thought.
The conference room was so quiet for a while that the only sound was the sound of flipping papers.
Almost ten minutes, a microThe fat middle-aged man said, "The conventional arrangement in the past must be done, but in view of the evolution of the alien beasts' combat power, the defense must be increased by at least 30% on the original basis."
Thirty percent? How many resources will it cost? Three-star prosperous planets may not be achieved immediately, let alone those second-level planets and backward marginal planets.
“How can 30% be so easy? In the past few years, the wilderness has been stable, and people can barely survive. How can there be extra resources for defense?”
“But we must follow the previous deployment, the beast When the tide comes, we may not even have a chance to call for help, let alone wait for support."
"..."
"How about concentrating people on a few secondary planets? Can it reduce consumption and facilitate unified management?"
"Huh," a chuckle came from the relatively quiet conference hall, "Why not concentrate on the size of the third-level planet (main planet) safety zone? It’s so vast and sparsely populated that it can accommodate all the residents of the affiliated planets, let alone the people from the affiliated planets.”
“How can that be done!” They are just poor people from fringe planets. Placing them on a second-level planet is already a gift, but is this a third-level planet that they dare to even think about?
The man was disdainful from the bottom of his heart, but he knew that he was not allowed to say such words in such an occasion, so he smiled and said, "Chief Nie was born on a marginal planet. He knows the hardships of the poor residents best, and there is nothing wrong with them."
At this point, the curvature of the man's mouth became wider and wider, "But we must also proceed from reality. Let's not mention the resource allocation issue for the original inhabitants of the main planet. Let's just say that the residents of these marginal planets have come to the main planet. What does the planet do for a living?
The positions in the safe zone are basically saturated, and they have nothing else to do except go out to collect. Given the current situation, for the sake of personnel safety, the major planets will definitely reduce their hunting missions. , what should they do?
Don’t forget, the prices on level 3 planets are not comparable to those on edge planets. Their annual inventory may not last more than a month here. You must be helping them instead. Harm them?"
"..." The man named Nie's face instantly fell. The reasons given by the other party were facts and he could not refute them.
But he was unwilling to give up like this, "Use the financial resources of the main planet to take care of it——"
Before the man finished speaking, he was interrupted by the man just now, "You What kind of joke are you talking about? All the materials on the main planet have been used for poverty alleviation. How can we exchange them for resources and use them for defense?
How about just removing the star-protecting formation and allowing the alien beasts to live in it? ”
The officer surnamed Nie's face turned red. He gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "Pang, did I mean that?"
"Of course you don't mean it in your heart, but your actions But it is. Look at the Pengchen Star under your control. It was a third-level prosperous planet that was no less than Feng Yaoxing. What is it like now?
Has it been downgraded to a second-level planet? , there is no telling whether it will be safe when the weather gets warmer, tsk tsk..." He looked down on this man's petty attitude, and even became a commander. Seeing thisIt's not open at all. A good third-level planet is managed as a marginal planet. No wonder it's getting worse and worse.
That consul is also a coward without any opinion. If he is allowed to say anything, he deserves to live in such a miserable state.
“You——” Officer Nie’s lips trembled with anger and he couldn’t say a word.
"Me? What's wrong with me? I don't help the residents of the affiliated planets with supplies from time to time, let alone respond to requests, and my own finances cannot make ends meet."
"Then let me do whatever you want. Let them freeze to death and starve to death? I can't be as cruel as Commander Pang."
"Frozen to death and starved to death is because they have no ability. They rely on the main planet for everything. It only shows that the managers are incompetent. Such people. What's the use of me keeping it? I've already sent him away!"
"Sir Pang is so majestic!"
The man plucked his ears and said with a fake smile, "That's why I speak so hard. Hello, that’s how I’m impressed.”
“Then why don’t I thank you?”
“That’s not necessary, after all, I don’t want to have anything to do with you, and I’m very interested. I have no interest in poverty alleviation."
"You - Pang -"
"Okay, stop arguing, we are now talking about beast tide defense." Federal Consul. Looking seriously at Nie Xiangyu and Ji Heng beside him, "You really need to improve your management methods." The transcoding has been serious recently, which makes us more motivated and updates faster. Please use your little hand to exit the reading mode. Thank you
