Chapter 251 Completed
The metallic liquid continues to expand towards the surroundings of the colony, swallowing up those abandoned residential areas.
After seeing those people who were forcibly taken away from the residential area by the metallic liquid, but they were not sent to the location where the left path was currently being processed.
Someone from the government and the army immediately came over to inquire about the situation.
After all, Chen Ming clearly planned to completely destroy the residential area, instead of bypassing the residential area and expanding a new industrial area outside the residential area.
If these people are displaced, it is definitely not good news for the government.
It's not good news for the military that Chen Ming, a psyker, forcibly does this kind of thing to ordinary people.
But Chen Ming obviously had some ideas in doing so.
He wants to collect all the excess materials obtained by destroying the residential areas and use them in the new residential areas he arranges for those who will continue to stay on the planet after the colony is expanded.
Of course, everyone and everything in everyone's residence has also been preserved.
Anyway, now that he had Glory and a few other idle Alpha Cores acting as external brains, it couldn't be easier to jot down and pack up what everyone had in their homes with metallic liquid.
There may be some fragile things that are difficult to take away, or they may have been damaged during transportation by the metallic liquid.
But these things can be partially compensated by Chen Ming later. Anyway, the government should not mind helping him pay the bill.
When new residential areas are built later, these residents who suddenly lost the houses they originally lived in will be packed into new big houses by Chen Ming.
Anyway, the abandoned residential area is so big, with some materials and some space. He doesn't mind allocating more space to the people who work here. If each person is given a three-bedroom and one-living room, a lot of building materials can be left over.
Chen Ming didn't believe that some people would be upset if the original houses that were more than 20 years old were replaced by new, larger residences. This was not considered a loss by any means.
Forehead……
When Chen Ming thought about this, he suddenly hesitated, because it was really possible.
Some people may complain about the forced relocation because they do not want to leave their former residence.
But some people may be greedy, and he still knows the truth of the insufficiency of people's hearts.
Chen Ming didn't care about what he said before. The worst he could do was get scolded a few times in private, but he wouldn't lose a piece of meat if he was scolded a few times.
He doesn't have that much energy to deal with this matter individually for each family. What he can do is to provide everyone with the same standard environmental conditions.
Chen Ming has learned about the original living environment of the colonial residential area, and the living environment he provided is definitely better than the original one.
After being scolded for a while, things will naturally pass.
But the latter, if someone really wants to be shameless, then he doesn't mind just using some privileges to drive the person out.
Anyway, what the government departments are worried about is the damage to the stability of neighboring colonies caused by a large outflow of people.
But the problems of one, two, or a dozen people will not cause any trouble in the entire social environment.
He can do this, but it's usually not necessary.
After confirming this idea
And after explaining this idea clearly to the people who came to inquire about the situation.
Chen Ming continued to use his psychic powers on the entire colony without any scruples.
Anyway, he only plans to take care of the remaining population in the colony now, and does not intend to continue to open the colony to the outside world in the future...
etc.
Chen Ming suddenly realized another problem, so he picked up the terminal and dialed Bai Quan's phone and asked, "Does the colony have any other requirements?"
Bai Quan was a little confused by Chen Ming's question and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Does my colony need to be opened to the outside world and receive foreign populations in the future?"
"need."
"I really want it."
This affirmative answer made Chen Ming feel a little uncomfortable for a while.
"This is a basic obligation that colonies need to fulfill. You can check these contents on the official website."
"In short, you cannot explicitly prohibit anyone from entering your colony, and you need to provide equal treatment, such as job opportunities and residence, to all arriving citizens of the empire."
"Of course, you don't have to provide free things to immigrants that you now have to provide to original residents."
"Anyway, the entire colony belongs to you, and you can provide these things to outsiders at reasonable prices."
"This is also one of the sources of revenue for the colony. There is no need for you to refuse."
Bai Quan explained to Chen Ming and then suggested: "If you really don't want people, then you can set very strict review standards for entering the colony and screen out the people you don't need."
"The owners of the colony can still set their own requirements in this regard, so that bad people will not be able to come and go from the colony at will."
"It's just that most colonies only conduct simple verification of identity, that's why there are so many left paths and the like. There is no need for this at all."
"However, my suggestion is not to raise the review requirements too high. Just keep them around the conditions that can screen out ordinary people but retain good people."
"Don't you have an extraordinary laboratory? You can just build a branch in this colony, and then use this laboratory as a reason to raise the standards."
"In this way, if someone really can pass the review, you will hire him. If such a person is willing to take the initiative to work for you, you don't have to refuse, right?"
"Other ordinary people have nothing to say if they can't pass the review."
Chen Ming was still a little dissatisfied with Bai Quan's statement and asked, "Can't we just raise the standards? Just say that my staff is already full and I only lack high-end management talents."
"no."
Bai Quan decisively gave Chen Ming a negative answer: "Even if you are a psychic, you must at least give people a decent reason."
"Many people know that afterglow cores are used in the empire, but it doesn't exist on the surface. Therefore, after your industrial colony is rebuilt, it is impossible to say that it is saturated if there are only hundreds of thousands of people."
"There has to be an excuse. Once you have an excuse, the rest will be easy to deal with."
"Colonies within the empire must abide by the rules of the empire and set up a branch to pretend that everyone is happy and happy."
"And you have to think about it this way, didn't you just go to that research colony before? How do the conditions in that place compare with your current colony?"
Chen Ming said directly without recalling the comparison: "It's not from the same era."
"You also know this, right? Then if I put it a little harshly, where will the capable researchers go?"
Bai Quan paused for a moment to let Chen Ming understand what he meant.
“So as long as you set the standard, you don’t have to worry about someone getting enough to make it through.”
Baiquan's voice suddenly dropped as he spoke: "As for what you said before that you want to completely move out the residents of the heavy industry colony."
"Originally, this matter is not possible, but you are a psychic. As long as you can handle this matter quickly and cook the rice without giving others a chance to stop it, there will be no problem with these things."
"Anyway, as long as there are no large-scale social incidents later, no one dares or will pursue what you did."
"I can also give you a suggestion, which is to remember to demolish all the places where people live in the heavy industrial colonies after moving the people away."
"Anyway, you can rely on the Afterglow Core to do things. It doesn't matter if you have people or not."
"As long as you don't have this kind of place for ordinary people to live, then you won't be able to provide them with residential areas, and there will be no need to accept immigrants."
"In this case, your colony was affected by objective conditions, rather than you actively preventing people from coming."
"And it is up to you to decide the development direction of your own colony. As long as the general type remains unchanged, whether it is a heavy industry colony or a heavy industry colony, you can do whatever you want."
"Once the residential area is demolished and you don't build it, no one can force you to build it again."
"It can be regarded as taking advantage of a loophole in the law."
"But you remember, the people in the heavy industry colony must arrange their whereabouts. Whether you arrange to go to the light industry colony or contact someone to send the people away, you must arrange the people well."
"Once these people cause large-scale problems, all the previous ones will become nonsense, and your colonial ownership may be confiscated due to illegality."
After Bai Quan finished speaking, Chen Ming thought carefully for a moment and responded: "I understand, I just need to arrange it, and I will take care of the rest. Then I'll be relieved. Thank you."
Chen Ming ended the communication and continued the task at hand.
At this time, He Gu, who was sitting on the same shuttle boat as Bai Quan, was watching all this happening from a distance, while using the terminal in his hand to silently calculate the amount of Chen Ming's mental power.
Just seeing the turbulent spiritual energy fluctuations on Chen Ming's body and the metallic liquid sweeping across the entire colony.
He Gu had already come to an exaggerated conclusion, that is, the amount of mental power possessed by Chen Ming was greater than what was shown in the simulation, and was greater than what he had previously estimated.
Either his talents are more exaggerated, or he has more good things on hand for psykers to exercise their abilities.
He Gu calculated silently, and the result was both.
At this moment, a deportation-level cargo ship suddenly appeared in the sky and was slowly landing, and landed directly next to Chen Ming.
This spaceship is also the spacecraft that Chen Ming asked Bai Quan to report before. The cargo carried on it are some gamma and beta level afterglow cores that Chen Ming cannot directly use for long-distance transfer.
These cores will be installed in the industrial zone immediately, responsible for managing the operation of industrial equipment in the industrial zone, responsible for controlling the overall operation of the colony, and responsible for managing the people in the entire colony.
When doing these types of work, Afterglow is much easier to use than people.
People also have to consider whether they have selfish motives and whether they will be involved with Zuo Jing again in the future.
But Yuhui is different. All of them are inextricably linked to Chen Ming. There will never be any betrayal before Chen Ming falls.
Yuhui will definitely spare no effort to help him manage everything in the colony, including Zuojia.
Shortly after the cargo ship landed, the metal liquid that poured into the sky gradually spread from the edge of the industrial area to the edge of the outer residential area as time passed.
After entire residential areas have been plowed to the ground, industrial buildings and industrial facilities are gradually being built in place of the former residential areas.
The product of the combination of human technology and industrial power, which originally took months or even years to build, appeared out of thin air in just a few hours under the power of Chen Ming. On the colony.
This is what psykers are.
These gradually emerged industrial buildings expanded from the original buildings, and after a period of time, they successfully reached the scale that Chen Ming had achieved in the simulation.
However, Chen Ming did not stop. Instead, according to his own needs, he continued to use a large amount of materials stored in the temporary stronghold to fill part of the gap, and continued to expand the colony by an additional 10%.
The total area occupied by the expanded industrial zone has tripled.
However, compared to the area of the basic industrial area, the additional extension only occupies a little more than half of the original residential area.
Things are not over yet here, after all, Chen Ming just demolished the residential area before.
The new residential area is still the same ring shape surrounding the industrial area as before.
Based on the year-round wind direction determined by the overall climate, the downwind of the industrial area was isolated. Instead of building a residential area, a large amount of space was left. A broad road was built from the furnace energy supply tower in the center of the earth to the outside of the colony. .
Whether it is used directly for transportation or for the transportation of materials, there is no problem.
Moreover, similar issues seemed to have been considered before in the design of this colony.
The direction of the downwind outlet happens to be the location of the abandoned space elevator where Chen Ming's Stardust class is parked. It is very convenient for Chen Ming to carry out other modifications in the future, and it is also convenient for Chen Ming to give away all valuable things in the entire colony. Repair again.
In the simulation, Chen Ming only repaired and expanded the colony. In reality, the gambling agreement only required Chen Ming to do these two things.
The rest are extra things he has to do himself.
New residential areas soon began to be constructed gradually.
The metal liquid gathered tons of materials for Chen Ming to touch. Then Chen Ming could directly use the materials to dismantle the discarded building materials and send them to the warehouse. These materials could naturally be used where they are actually needed.
One advantage of doing this is that all residential areas are built based on his psychic energy and have unique mechanical structures.
Being able to truly serve as his eyes and ears throughout the colony allows him to ensure that all problems in the entire colony cannot escape detection.
Of course, all this should be left to Yu Hui to handle. Chen Ming doesn't have the time to spend on these matters.
Since the population of the colony was too small compared to the area of the colony, Chen Ming did not use the standards of apartment buildings, but used the standards of bungalows to build the new residential area.
Although he is not proficient in architectural planning, he only knew a little bit about Hong Guanghong during the previous simulation.
But it’s okay to design a living quarters.
In addition to basic residential buildings for people to live in, other basic livelihood buildings will definitely be arranged.
Just count the number of independent and residential buildings in the original residential area, and arrange special buildings such as shops, clinics, and water purification plants to provide purified water.
These were originally entrusted by the Louwei faction to the local government to help operate and manage them.
After all, it is a small colony. It is basically unable to achieve self-sufficiency in materials. It will definitely need external support and subsidies. Without these things, the colony would have collapsed long ago.
Now Chen Ming has to take charge of these things, and he also handed over these tasks to Yu Hui, letting them control the robots to manage these places that are important to people's livelihood. In this way, there should be no big problems later.
After the general construction of the residential area was completed, Chen Ming asked the ordinary people who were carried by the metallic liquid and waited outside the colony to retrieve their own things. Places to go.
That is, the new house that belongs to everyone has been allocated by Huihuang.
It would take some time for them to get familiar with the environment and understand what happened. Then Chen Ming estimated that there would be a lot of curses.
But the problem is not big. Huihuang has helped provide everyone with corresponding notices and given them a special channel to complain.
And when they see a brand new home, a variety of brand new furniture that has been purchased, and a better environment.
Chen Ming believes that there will not be too many people coming to the complaint channel to complain.
If someone complains, let Yuhui handle it. If the request is reasonable, you can agree to it. If it is unreasonable, just ask him to get out.
Chen Ming has also connected this complaint channel to the government, and they will also help take care of it.
As for the reform-through-labor prisoners who were originally sent here, Chen Ming planned to take them out and send them back to whichever prison they were sent to. He did not welcome such people here.
That's how it should be.
But the government department brought a few more people when they were dealing with leftist elements with Chen Ming.
They were the managers of the prison that had previously signed a cooperative management agreement with the Lou Wei faction on the management of reform-through-labor prisoners.
And when they were interacting with Chen Ming, they gave him too much.
Chen Ming estimated that the money they were willing to pay to renew the contract after changing the owner of the colony should be the liquidated damages given to them by the Lou Wei faction.
After all, providing labor reform places for prisons is also the main source of income for these two colonies. Lou Wei and his team took the initiative to put the colonies at stake. If the colonies fall into Chen Ming's hands, some businesses will definitely not be able to continue, and the losses caused will definitely need to be compensated to those who have cooperative relations with them.
But the prison does not want to give up. It is conceivable how troublesome it is to take a large number of labor reform prisoners back and arrange places in a short period of time.
In this case, putting this option together with negotiating new conditions with Chen Ming, they will definitely try the latter.
Although the whole thing has not been completely over, after all, Chen Ming has not started to repair and expand the second heavy industrial colony.
But everyone with a discerning eye can see that Chen Ming does have such ability, so in the end, a result that both parties are satisfied with was successfully reached. Chen Ming signed an agreement on behalf of Lou Wei's faction.
Anyway, the prison only requires that people continue to be locked up, provide jobs and minimum wages.
Chen Ming does not need to worry too much.
All matters are handed over to the Yuhui core, and there will be no problem in arranging some robot guards to watch over these prisoners.
And it just so happens that the government needs to station government departments and security departments in the colony.
It doesn't have to be a lot, but they need to do so.
Since there are such public departments that need to be built, prisons are naturally on the list.
If an agreement is reached with prisons in other places, the industrial facilities that were originally there for criminals can continue to be used as prisons for the colony.
So far, the residential area outside the colony has been completely completed.
But now, there are still a large number of spaceships taking off and landing near the Stardust level.
They are all government and military spaceships, constantly transporting left-wing elements, investigating and interrogating them.
Follow-up news will be passed on as soon as possible.
Those who have clear evidence related to the left-wing will be arrested with the cooperation of Chen Ming.
Those who have no evidence but are just suspected will be marked, so that Chen Ming can let Yu Hui monitor them later.
And those who are clearly not problematic can stay safely in Chen Ming's colony for the rest of their lives.
Some jobs in the plastic products industry that Chen Ming deliberately left behind are for them.
Anyway, the work arrangement was left to Yuhui, so Chen Ming didn't have to worry about it at all.
The work of more than 100,000 people was a bit difficult for Chen Ming, but for the Yuhui core, there was absolutely no problem.
As the last gamma-class Yuhui core was installed in an area of the residential area.
All the Yuhui cores have been installed in place. After the tasks were assigned, the respective systems were connected, and the trial operation was correct, the entire colony was completely controlled by Chen Ming.
Chen Ming also ended the use of psychic energy, the metal liquid gradually faded, and the excess materials were all piled up in the original warehouse.
It might be useful in the future.
In the industrial area far away, industrial facilities have also begun to warm up and operate.
Just wait for the gambling agreement to end, the ownership of the colony to be officially transferred, and the people who helped contact Baiquan will drive the spacecraft that is already waiting for the transportation of materials outside the galaxy to the planet, and the colony can be officially put into operation.
At this time, Chen Ming, who was standing on the edge of the colony, created the locust armor again.
He flew into the air alone, looking at this colony that was revitalized in his hands, and there was an indescribable sense of satisfaction and accomplishment in his heart.
Although a purely industrial colony is different from his ideal, a comprehensive colony that has developed the entire planet.
But this is at least a colony built by him, which always gives people an indescribable feeling.
This is the result of his efforts.
Chen Ming landed on the ground again.
He boarded the shuttle that Bai Quan and others were riding, which was at a distance from the newly built colony.
He said to Bai Quan and Major General Song who had been waiting on the shuttle for a while: "The work here is over. Next, wait for my mental strength to recover for a while, and then we will go to the next place."
Major General Song, who had almost recovered from the previous emergency, immediately greeted him with a smile and said: "All is up to you."
Although the faces of others were not very good, they were at least much better than before.
It was obvious that Bai Quan did something when Chen Ming left.
Only Lou Wei was sitting alone in the corner of the shuttle, his face full of gray.
