Chapter 193: Combing_1

Burton and Bil and the others had a meeting that lasted a day and a night, and oddly enough, no one felt tired.

On the contrary, as they gradually built a future world, they were excited and thrilled, just like they used to feel when playing games all night as children, without sensing any fatigue.

The next day, Jiang Yu arrived at the meeting room to find everyone still in high spirits despite the dark circles under their eyes.

Jiang Yu smiled and said, "Once this meeting concludes, everyone should hurry back and rest for a while. Things need to be done slowly, especially when it comes to governance; one must have enough patience and perseverance."

Then Burton reported on the results of their conference, which were mainly based on the political system of the East in terms of political and economic systems.

Culturally, they sought to be sufficiently inclusive, forming their own independent space culture while actively absorbing the essence of Earth's Eastern and Western cultures.

Bil reported on the technological development plans for Guanghan City, Beck spoke about his ideas for future space trade, and Di Fengyi basically drafted the construction plan for Mars City.

Jiang Yu then began to sort out his Wallfacer plans; originally, he had only two, which gradually became projects he led due to his roles as the director of the "Star Warrior" program and the head of the "Black Square" research group at the Star Defense Department.

Later, these four plans began to collaborate and became entwined with each other.

This caused a lot of confusion in management, like the problem of leadership authority when Bo Xiangdong's project team, which was under the Star Defense Department, collaborated with the "Greenfield Plan" project team.

Moreover, there were issues about negotiating research findings, as the Star Defense Department was now unwilling to allocate funds and still hoped to share the research outcomes, much to the dismay of the Moon Science Academy.

There was also the issue that Bo Xiangdong's project team had a significant overlap in topics with Gu Zhize's project team, yet they still belonged to two distinct project teams, resulting in a waste of research resources.

All of these issues overlapped, leading to managerial chaos and causing the goals of each project team to become increasingly unclear.

Therefore, Jiang Yu now needed to not only sort out the Wallfacer plans but also to clarify the objectives of each plan.

First was the "Greenfield Plan", which originally consisted of four groups and was now split into three parts.

The desert agriculture group and water transport group, led by Qi Guanglu, merged to form the new "Greenfield Plan" project team.

The team's new goal was to further develop "Climate Air Conditioning".

The original "Greenfield Plan" project team's biology group merged with Bo Xiangdong's project team to establish the "Genetic Plan" project team.

This was also the main reason Jiang Yu brought Bo Xiangdong to Moon City this time, and he reminded Bil to keep a close eye on Bo Xiangdong.

Not to influence Bo Xiangdong's research plans, but rather because his experiments could be dangerous; he needed to have an independent laboratory constructed for him.

And they should have someone on hand so that if any danger arises, emergency measures could be taken immediately.

The goal of this project team was to continue searching for ways to control human genes.

Bil's massive original "Moon City Plan" project team was renamed the "Sun Nation Plan" project team.

Since the PDC failed to achieve the plan to colonize the Solar System, Moon City would help humanity realize it.

This would be an enormous engineering project, and Jiang Yu suggested a phased plan that spanned two to three centuries.

The former "Greenfield Plan" project team's new agriculture group became independent; after developing artificial starch, they were almost exclusively doing research related to artificial starch.

Jiang Yu reassigned them to the Burton Government, establishing an agriculture department, with the goal of solving all food-related problems in space.

Food has always been the most fundamental issue. Although artificial starch can stave off hunger, humans in space still need a large amount of protein and various vitamins, which cannot be met by artificial starch alone.

Furthermore, over the course of hundreds of thousands of years, humanity has developed a habit of eating fruits and vegetables, so the so-called comfortable life in Moon City can't possibly be limited to just letting everyone eat artificial starch!

Currently, all of the meat in Moon City, as well as half of the vegetables, must be imported from Earth.

Not only is this costly, but it also leaves us vulnerable to Earth potentially restricting supplies.

Moreover, Mars City now also needs to send meat products from Earth, with transport costs already a hundred times higher than the value of the products themselves!

Therefore, developing space agriculture to solve Guanghan City's fruits and vegetables issue, as well as developing space husbandry to solve the meat supply problem, is an urgent priority.

Zhao Yun and Lu Qingfeng's aesthetic guidance group remains unchanged; the PDC had already cut off funding for this group, so it can rightfully be integrated into Burton's government.

This group, combined with the strategic group established by Beck, forms the Strategic Department, which is also directly managed by Burton.

In addition, there are two dormant plans: the artificial intelligence team and the "Black Square" research team.

The former is prepared for Jiang Shiliu. In the future, as soon as there is a new technological breakthrough, Jiang Shiliu will be awakened to continue his research in artificial intelligence.

In the space of the future, artificial intelligence will undoubtedly play a huge role.

Not to mention the "Black Square" research group—the Star Defense Department has stopped this project group and won't let Jiang Yu restart it.

But everyone knows that "Black Square" is definitely the key to solving the current crisis. It's just that humanity's current level of technology is too far behind "Black Square", making it difficult to achieve any research outcomes.

Currently, Wu Zheng and more than twenty other key members, including Xu Qing, are preparing to enter cryosleep in Guanghan City.

Jiang Yu plans to use them to restart research on "Black Square" in the future. Even if the Star Defense Department decides to restart the project, Jiang Yu could get Wu Zheng and others involved.

After sorting out these plans, Jiang Yu told Burton and the others to immediately go rest while reminding Burton to pay attention to the control over the Science Academy.

In the eyes of those who stir up internal strife within Guanghan City, hoping to gain advantages and opportunities,

this meeting marked Burton becoming the Governor, apparently triumphant and in charge of great power.

Yet, both Burton and Bil understood that the future investment in technology in Guanghan City would actually be even greater. The only difference is that the researchers would only need to focus on their scientific work without being involved in daily administrative tasks.

Which direction to research would still be determined by Bil and his colleagues. However, they could no longer use their influence to disrupt the decision-making process of Guanghan City.

At the start of this change, those with ulterior motives will undoubtedly try to create chaos using Bil's influence.

Burton was well-prepared; after leaving the meeting room, he made the necessary arrangements.

Then, the propaganda machinery of Guanghan City started up. Burton initially only announced his appointment as Governor within the government.

The external publicity departments were fully promoting the Wallfacer Jiang Yu's great ideals while incorporating the effort to realize the Wallfacer Plan, as well as the effort for the future of humanity, into the constitution.

Afterward, it would become every citizen's responsibility and duty. To commemorate this great moment, Moon City would be renamed Guanghan City.

And from then on, a three-day holiday would be observed annually at this time, becoming the first statutory holiday of Guanghan City.

The residents of Guanghan City, already supporters of Jiang Yu, embraced this noble ideal. After the holiday was announced, they gathered spontaneously in the square to celebrate.

With this positive start, Burton's subsequent actions would be all the more smooth sailing.
