Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 185

185. Chapter 185, Treatment of C9-level Employees

When the whole situation was reported to Gu Hang, it was already two days.

This efficiency is not low, but Gu Hang still has to be thankful that there is no omission of information along the way.

The clerk named Jason Morgan did not think that the other party was talking nonsense because he did not understand what he said at all, and refused to report it; when the Immigration Bureau heard that there was a strange but possible key talent, it reported it directly to the Ministry of Civil Affairs; after learning the news, Ossena sent him a letter…

and when Gu Hang got the news, he had just spent the gift points to establish the [Technical College].

After learning that there was a person who claimed to be the “Engine Prophet” under his command, Gu Hang laughed out loud.

Gu Hang certainly knew what level the Engine Prophet was.

In the rank system of the Mechanicus, the primary specialist-technical specialist-mechanic-mechanical priest-engine prophet, this is a complete promotion line. The Engine Prophet can already be regarded as a middle-level figure in the Mechanicus. Going up, there is the ruling bishop. This rank is even the highest figure in the forge world controlled by some mechanical orders. Some forge generals are actually just ruling bishops.

In contrast, Wu Jiarong was just a technical specialist with the level of a mechanic and was sent to the surface of the angry star. It was only by relying on the in-depth research on the black box in the past six months that she made rapid progress and barely reached the level of a mechanical priest.

But even so, Wu Jiarong can already provide great help in many scientific and technological projects.

What about a more powerful engine prophet?

He specializes in genetic engineering, and a series of technologies such as servoskulls, soilless farms, medical technology, and mechanical servant transformation are his counterparts.

And even if it is some non-specialized technology, if he is given time to study, he will not do worse than Wu Jiarong – or even better.

Secondly, throwing him to the newly established technical college as a lecturer is also a way out, at least freeing up half of Wu Jiarong’s time.

Gu Hang will not think that he can replace Wu Jiarong just because he has an engine prophet.

Wu Jiarong’s most important duty to Gu Hang is to guard the black boxes that he has made.

This matter does not require technical ability, but sufficient loyalty. She has done a good job in the past six months, and Gu Hang does not want to change the candidate.

Who knows if the new one is reliable?

What’s more, Gu Hang doesn’t even know whether this engine prophet has really reached the level he claims.

However, this does not prevent Gu Hang from taking this matter very seriously.

Whether it is true or not, we will know after we pull it out.

On the one hand, he notified Wu Jiarong to come to Fuxing City to meet this engine prophet with him. On the other hand, he sent a Feng Falcon formation to pick up people in the north of Qinggu area.

The distance between them is hundreds of kilometers, and it takes a long time to drive here. For Feng Falcon, it can go and come back on the same day, which takes less than two hours.

Equipped with anti-gravity engines and capable of vertical take-off and landing, Feng Falcon does not even need an airport, and a flat landing place is enough.

The governor did not have to wait for long, and the two Feng Falcons landed on the governor’s tower one after another.

This is his office, which was recently completed. It was a renovation of the old alliance’s parliament building. On the roof and on the balcony extending outside the office hall, several helipads were built to facilitate the take-off and landing of aircraft.

With the Feng Falcon, not to mention the role it can play in the war, Gu Hang felt that his time was saved a lot. The Feng Falcon, which is capable of supersonic cruise, allows Gu Hang to go to any area currently under the actual control of the alliance in less than an hour.

Especially from Fuxing City to Weixing City, it is almost a take-off and landing for Feng Falcon, and it only takes a few minutes.

This greatly facilitates Gu Hang’s travel, allowing him to easily travel to and from multiple places within a day. He can go to the factories in Weixing City with his own eyes, visit the troops on the front line, and go to Gaota Province or Zhongbei Province to see how the local reconstruction plan is going.

Otherwise, the limit of the scope of rule depends on the limit of information transmission.

Of course, within the planet, normal means of communication can basically cover the entire planet, but if Gu Hang, the ruler, can also appear anywhere at a very fast speed and at will, it will also be of great help to the improvement of ruling power.

The first Feng Falcon that landed brought Wu Jiarong.

Gu Hang chatted with her a little about the progress of her current scientific research project. Not long after the topic was discussed, the second Feng Falcon arrived.

A middle-aged man with an unremarkable appearance entered Gu Hang’s office under the guidance of the guards.

After a brief introduction, under the deliberate guidance of Gu Hang and Wu Jiarong, they continued the previous topic.

The man named Hu Ke was only silent for a moment, and after understanding what they were talking about, he joined the topic smoothly.

The three of them chatted in the office for almost two hours.

At the beginning, Gu Hang was able to keep up with the topic, mainly by raising requirements and asking about progress. In the middle, when they talked about more in-depth technical content, he mainly listened in, and he didn’t understand it very well, but the other two talked more and more enthusiastically.

In the final stage, when Gu Hang couldn’t understand anything at all, even Wu Jiarong’s speech became less and less, and he turned to listening and thinking. It was mainly Hu Ke who was talking, and Wu Jiarong even looked like she benefited a lot.

At this time, even if Gu Hang didn’t ask Wu Jiarong’s opinion, he could know that the man in front of him was indeed an engine prophet.

In the end, he ended the topic.

There was no way, I couldn’t understand it, so the specific technical problems would be left to specific people to solve, and there was no need for him, the governor, to continue wasting time here.

With a light cough, he said: “Mr. Hu, let’s talk about your past. I’m curious, how did an engine prophet of the Mechanicus end up on the Wrathful Owl Star?”

Speaking of this, Hu Ke sighed and told about his past experiences.

After listening, Gu Hang was also quite sighing.

“War has destroyed the good lives of countless people.” Gu Hang said, “But war is also the only way for humans to survive in this never-peaceful sea of stars.”

Hu Ke agreed: “You are right, but the price is high, especially when the price falls on specific people.”

“But I promise you,” Gu Hang said, “in the future, I will try my best to prevent those disasters from befalling you and your family. I am not sure that such a thing will never happen again, but at least as long as I can still ensure the overall stability, you will have a peaceful life. All I need is your knowledge and your loyalty.”

“I will always remain loyal to the Emperor.”

The middle-aged man seemed to have some hidden meaning in his words, but Gu Hang didn’t mind.

“That’s enough.”

“Now that we’re here…” Hu Ke knew that he had passed the two-hour interview, and the next step was to talk about the salary. “I’m more interested in the job grade rules you set on the Angry Owl Star. I wonder what kind of job grade salary I can get here?”

“C9.” Gu Hang didn’t play any tricks and spoke out his ideas clearly and neatly, “The highest level of C level. You will have a separate large villa with a yard in Fuxing City. If you like it to be more lively, you can be arranged in a residential area. The neighbors around you are all government officials or researchers. I guarantee that your house will be the best in the community. If you like it to be quiet, you can also settle down in an independent villa in the suburbs.”

“Needless to say, the most basic things such as food and clothing are provided. There will be three E-level staff members to serve you as nannies and housekeepers. Your wife can freely choose a job. I heard that she used to like reading very much. The museum, archives and library of Fuxing City are in their infancy. We are committed to collecting pre-war cultural relics and doing our best to restore the once brilliant culture of Angry Owl Star. Maybe your wife is also willing to become a C-level staff member to contribute to the Renaissance of Angry Owl Star.”

“Of course, if she doesn’t want to and just wants to stay at home, that’s fine. But without a specific job, the job level cannot be assessed too high. Please understand this. This is the system of the Alliance and will not be broken by a single person.”

“Your children will receive the most complete education in the Alliance. You may not care about these. When you are free, the quality of your family education for your children should be better than the current education level of the Alliance. But I believe that you should still hope that your children can have a perfect childhood and can socialize with their peers.”

Hearing this, Hu Ke nodded with satisfaction.

In terms of living conditions alone, he has nothing else to ask for.

C9, under the current system of the alliance, is already considered very high. It is said that Ms. Ossena, who actually serves as the prime minister of the alliance government, is only B3. Obviously, the governor is deliberately keeping a higher level for future promotion.

From this level, he is only four levels away from the highest level of the alliance.

His children and wife have been properly arranged, and he only needs to do his own thing.

“Then may I ask, what is my specific work arrangement?”

Gu Hang also gave a smooth answer: “Under the Alliance Production Department, a Science and Technology Development Bureau will be planned. Ms. Wu Jiarong will be the director, and you will be the honorary director. You will have an independent research institute in Fuxing City, and I will try my best to assign enough assistants to assist you in your work.”

“You need to do three things: First, undertake various scientific research projects directly issued by the Alliance Production Department or from me, that is, the Governor’s Office.”

“Second, be responsible for the education work of the Alliance Technical College.”

“Third, as a technical consultant directly under the Governor’s Office, answer some of my questions when necessary.”

After listening to these carefully, Hu Ke said that there was no problem.

Moreover, he immediately took the initiative to work and reported a situation according to the third work requirement raised by the Governor.

About what happened at the southern end of Qinggu, about the Natural Salvation Society, and about his student Gewajia.

After listening to this, Gu Hang immediately frowned deeply.

“You mean… the distorted monsters that are rampant on the Wrathful Owl Star and are found almost everywhere are the products of this Natural Salvation Society? This is not just a simple genetic mutation or biological variation, but also involves supernatural phenomena related to demons from the Abyss Hell?”

“That’s generally true, but not necessarily true in some places.” Hu Ke corrected, “The distorted monsters on the Wrathful Owl Star should not be entirely created by the Natural Salvation Society. But they used these monsters and their dirty and corrupt demonology. They conducted inhumane experiments at the southern end of Qinggu, trying to create and control those distorted monsters on a large scale.”

Gu Hang touched his chin and pondered.

If it was just a distorted monster, it would be easy to say.

It’s not that he has never dealt with such monsters. In the woodland around Weixing City, which was almost chopped off and is now the residence of the Phoenix Monastery, he once led his nascent army and was besieged by a group of distorted monsters activated by some kind of evil magic by the original Wrathful Owl Sect.

Those monsters are a terrible threat to ordinary wasteland survivors.

They are not afraid of life and death, grow periodically, are extremely powerful, and have things like abscess ejectors, which can almost be regarded as short-range biochemical cannons.

The distorted monsters that have appeared in the Qinggu area are generally of this kind. Even if there are some strange species occasionally, the number is generally not large.

But even so, the many plantations in Qinggu have still suffered a great disaster and have been destroyed one by one.

At present, the entire central and southern parts of Qinggu are already in dire straits.

According to the latest information Gu Hang has seen, the distorted monsters are the source of the disaster. In addition to the settlements they directly destroyed, the casualties caused, and the reduction in grain production, the most terrifying thing is the secondary disasters that followed.

People will not die. Those who have lost their plantations, food, and property will not sit and wait to starve to death.

They will gather spontaneously, fight and devour each other, and become larger, stronger, and more cohesive groups.

The looters’ tribes were born one by one.

They will burn, kill, and plunder to survive.

A considerable number of plantations were also destroyed by these looters.

The wave of aberrations caused the emergence of landless refugees – the landless refugees formed a tribe of looters – the looters destroyed more settlements, creating more landless refugees – forming more and larger looters…

the vicious cycle rolled like a snowball.
