Chapter 396 Future Plans for Urban Planets

After making a phone call with Chen Ming, Wang Zhifan saw that there were still almost four hours until the afternoon banquet, so he thought about how to arrange his schedule next.

"How many hours will you go into the secret palace to practice? Go to the urban planet to see the progress of the mecha procurement? Go to the Wuji Sect world to continue the faith plan? Go to the world where the demon hunter Gett is to see the situation? Or go to visit a new world?"

Just thinking about it, he found that there were many things that could be done, and what he had thought of so far was definitely not all of them.

"If you can't do anything good after practicing for a few hours, let's talk about it tonight... Let's go check out every other place. Right now, I feel like I'm really overwhelmed..."

Since the number of worlds he can regularly visit has increased, Wang Zhifan has felt very busy. But fortunately, his body is now ridiculously strong and he always has plenty of energy. He basically doesn't need to rest, so he can still cope with it. live.

Soon, he took out the City Planet Pass, traveled through countless dimensions, and arrived at this interstellar world with extremely advanced technology. He appeared in the director's office on the 1111th floor of the City Building.

When he appeared, he found that this spacious and bright high-tech room was still the same as the last time he came here. Countless giant buildings standing tall and tall outside the window stood steadily. Various small and medium-sized aircraft were shuttled in the gaps between the buildings, like a forest. There are industrious little bees inside, and when you look below the window, you can see the floating sea of ​​clouds, which reflects a pale golden light under the sunlight.

"Completely different from Gaia, there are almost no natural landscapes outside. However, the technology far beyond that of the Earth allows the atmosphere here to be continuously circulated and purified, and all kinds of basic survival materials are highly sufficient. This is probably the peak of the development of the technological world. …But how can I make more full use of the advantages here…”

Walking to the window, Wang Zhifan thought inwardly. He judged that the role of this planet was far from being fully realized, but he didn't have many new ideas for a while.

"Your Excellency, Mr. Ball Director, your secretary, Miss Catherine, requests to meet with you."

Suddenly, in the room behind Wang Zhifan, a little girl in red appeared, made up of countless rays of light. It was Wang Zhifan's exclusive AI Xiaohong, reporting the latest news to him.

"Can."

Wang Zhifan said without looking back. His eyes were still staring at the countless buildings, aircraft and the sea of ​​clouds below the window, wondering what he was thinking about.

"Okay, Mr. Ball Director, Miss Catherine will be here in a minute."

Xiaohong immediately replied after hearing this, and the illusory body composed of light and shadow immediately disappeared without a trace.

Not long after, the office door opened automatically under the control of AI Xiaohong, and a tall, proud, impeccably beautiful young woman walked in quickly.

She has brilliant long golden hair, fair and delicate skin that is even more prominent against the black uniform, and exudes a capable temperament.

"Your Excellency, the Global Council's latest conference report has come out. Your support rate is still far ahead of other cabinets, reaching 56.37%. However, compared with the last global conference, it has dropped by 3.2 percentage points. Please be sure to attract attention. Pay attention to."

Quickly walking to Wang Zhifan who was looking out the window, Catherine solemnly spoke to him and presented a written report that was rare in this world.

"Well, let me see what's going on."

Wang Zhifan was a little surprised after hearing this, but it didn't show on his face. He calmly took the report handed over by Catherine and started browsing.

When he came here several times before, because he learned from Catherine that the position of captain does not have to deal with too many practical things, and only her secretary can handle small things, he felt that the position of captain was more like some kind of real power and honor, so he I'm not too concerned, but today it seems that his position is not completely stable, and there is also a global support rate.

“The hawkish congressmen believe that Mr. Ball Director has not recently proposed a plan to expand the influence of the urban planet in the surrounding star fields, so they are slightly disappointed... The dovish congressmen also believe that Mr. Ball Director has not made any improvements to the long-standing unemployment problem of the urban planet. , the evaluation also dropped slightly..."

After reading the report brought by his secretary Catherine, Wang Zhifan suddenly felt the pressure on him.

"Good guy, it's okay for me to be a casual golf captain, but now I really need to do something... How the hell do I know this..."

Feeling a little speechless, he couldn't help but turn his gaze to Catherine, who was waiting calmly beside him, and asked her if she had any professional advice.

“Catherine, do you have any suggestions for the outreach program that the Parliament wants, and solutions to the unemployment problem?”

As soon as he finished speaking, the female secretary beside him pondered for a moment, and then began to explain slowly. It was obvious that she had prepared the draft before coming over. Just listen to her say:

“Your Majesty, Mr. Ball, in response to the issues raised by the parliament, in order to increase the support rate, there are currently three main feasible options that need to be decided by you.

1. Develop a desolate planet.

You should know that in the galaxy ruled by our urban planet, the other eight planets are not suitable for direct human habitation, and their transformation is relatively difficult. However, as long as we call on global companies and citizens to unite, invest enough manpower and material resources, and spend In more than ten years, it is still very possible to transform some of them into habitable planets, thereby expanding the scale of various industries for the urban planet and increasing its commercial influence in the star field.

This plan is relatively moderate, and dovish lawmakers will tend to support it. Hawks should hold a neutral attitude in the early stage. At the same time, the implementation of a large number of planet transformation projects during the plan will completely solve the problem of citizen unemployment.

Second, increase investment in scientific research.

In our star field, and even in other distant star fields, the strength of scientific research is an important part of influence.

If the President agrees to increase the scale of the global scientific research industry, the education and research industries will absorb some of the unemployed people, effectively alleviating today's unemployment problem.

At the same time, the expectation of scientific research output will increase as we invest more. Once there is a more critical technological breakthrough, the influence of our urban planet will be significantly increased.

Both hawks and doves will be inclined to support this plan, but if it does not progress smoothly and there is not enough scientific research output for a period of time, it is likely to have negative subsequent effects.

Third, implement the military preparation plan.

Today, the star field to which our urban planet belongs is generally in a state of peace. This is the result of the efforts of previous people and the relative balance of strength among all parties.

However, recent intelligence indicates that some investigation ships of unknown races have appeared in other star fields. They behave brutally and rudely, kidnapping many civilians in the star field, and even attacking patrolling military ships.

Therefore, we have reason to believe that a barbaric civilization is stretching out its claws. Even if our planet's conventional military power is relatively powerful, more adequate preparations are necessary to prevent the occurrence of bad situations.

Once the military preparation plan is implemented, the unemployment problem of citizens will definitely be greatly alleviated. At the same time, our influence in the star field will also increase due to the increase in military strength, but it may lead to friction with other neighbors.

This plan will definitely win the support of hawks, while doves may oppose it, but as long as I emphasize the potential threats in parliament, doves should also be able to win some..."

Catherine talked eloquently, and the suggestions she put forward can be roughly divided into three categories: business, technology, and military. Each of them can increase influence and alleviate the unemployment problem, but the investment is not small, and risks exist. It can be said that if Wang Zhifan Make the wrong choice and the consequences could be disastrous.

"Is the information you mentioned about that barbaric civilization accurate? Do the neighbors in the star field have any latest reaction to this?"

After listening, Wang Zhifan focused on the potential threats. After all, as a player, he is the most sensitive to this aspect. He really doesn't understand much about business or technology.

"It is not possible to draw a conclusion yet, because the intelligence sources are relatively complex, and there are some contradictions in different sources. However, it is certain that an unknown barbaric civilization has appeared. We need to send special investigators to understand more detailed situations.

As for the reactions of neighbors in the Star Territory, most of them are cautious and wait-and-see, and no one has yet announced the implementation of a military preparation plan. "

Catherine's words let Wang Zhifan know that the situation was still unclear. There might really be an evil interstellar race that was going to cause a bloody storm, or it might just be a group of interstellar bandits from an unknown civilization trying to make their presence felt. A rash military preparation plan might be an overreaction, causing an explosion on the planet. The stable situation in the domain became turbulent.

"Peace is hard-won, and it is really not good to engage in an arms race... You must keep an eye on this alien force. The investigators will arrange to leave as soon as possible, and let me know the results immediately.

As for the plan, we will start with scientific research and business, especially biotechnology, establish a high-end research institute as soon as possible, and prepare for the expansion of the animal and plant breeding industry. No matter how the situation develops, we will continue to work here. Two kinds of Riga investment..."

After thinking about it, Wang Zhifan temporarily pressed ahead with his favorite military preparation plan, choosing to start with scientific research and then promote business.

This is not because he ignores potential threats from the outside world. The main reason is that he understands that the military power of urban planets is not weak at all. The development of various military spacecraft manufacturing industries is proof of this. Ordinary enemies can be dealt with by the current level of urban planets.

And if he rashly strengthens his military power, the neighbors in the star field will inevitably feel nervous, triggering a chain reaction and destroying the hard-won peace.

As for his choice to start with biotechnology research and development, it is related to his personal advantages. For example, he feels that the various treasures on the planet Gaia can be seen by the scientific and technological talents here. The emergence of new things will inevitably promote scientific research. With the progress in this regard, several related new industries may be formed by then.

"Your Excellency Mr. Qiu, our urban planet has not made a breakthrough in biotechnology for a long time, because the genetic secrets of most species have been cracked, and a small number of cutting-edge and profound issues about the nature of life will not be seen within ten years even if we increase investment. There is no hope of progress. If I submit your plan to the parliament, they will most likely not pass it. It really lacks attractive prospects..."

Catherine bluntly expressed her opposition to Wang Zhifan's decision, and also pointed out the key problem, that is, no one is optimistic about this direction at present, and it is almost a backwater.

"Has the development of biotechnology encountered a serious bottleneck... It seems to be the case."

After hearing this, Wang Zhifan glanced at the female secretary in front of him.

When he saw her for the first time, he found that she was obviously a weak woman, but her physical fitness far exceeded that of humans on Earth and Star, and she was even better than professional athletes.

This is not because she is very special, but because the biotechnology in this world is very advanced. Human genes have been optimized many times, and the cultivation is also very scientific, reaching the limit of current technological progress.

But this deadlock can be forcibly broken by external forces. As long as Wang Zhifan can provide the talents here with some completely different good things, even if they can't understand all aspects for a while, they will still have a lot of achievements in developing some industries. Positive meaning.

So when Catherine was a little confused about why Wang Zhifan was staring at her suddenly, she suddenly found that Wang Zhifan took out a green fruit from somewhere and handed it to her, letting her smell the faint fragrance.

"This is not a sudden idea for me to start the biotechnology industry. It's because I accidentally got a batch of very novel alien products during my recent trip. They are not only diverse but also have unique effects.

For example, this thing called the Paradise Fruit has many advantages such as nutrition, healing, and deliciousness. It has the potential to become a new generation of interstellar travel food, or even military food..."

This time it was Wang Zhifan’s turn to output a lot of information to Catherine. He was very sure that the Paradise Fruit did not exist in this world. Needless to say, the Paradise Fruit was excellent. As long as the scientific and technological talents of the urban planet could establish the cultivation technology and add some genetic modification, it would be External forces can only obtain degraded offspring by cultivating them. If they firmly grasp the original body that does not exist in this world, a valuable and competitive new product will be born.

There are many kinds of things like Paradise Fruit on Gaia, and even some magical animals and plants have potential value far greater than Paradise Fruit. Their special abilities are also promising in other aspects such as military use.

Therefore, Wang Zhifan knew that this road was very broad and could last for a long time, allowing the urban planet to continue to make technological progress.

While Wang Zhifan was talking incessantly, the female secretary in front of him who looked a little confused had already received the Paradise Fruit and started information retrieval using the portable AI.

As a result, it was soon discovered that Wang Zhifan was right. This thing did not exist in the database of the urban planet at all. It was a completely new thing.

"Your Excellency, Captain Ball, if you can really provide many new species, and they all have high potential utilization value, the feasibility of this plan will be relatively high, and you will also gain a very huge wealth from this..."

With the physical proof, Catherine quickly followed Wang Zhifan's ideas and made detailed suggestions for him. She not only took into account the development of the urban planet, but also took into account the personal interests that Wang Zhifan ignored.
