Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 267

267. Chapter 266, Relying on the Great Development of Star Harbor

After landing on the ground, Gu Hang also had a special chat with the person in charge of supervising the construction of Star Harbor.

This person is Hu Ke.

The two best scientific researchers under Gu Hang are both from the Mechanical Order, namely Hu Ke and Wu Jiarong. According to the rating of the Order, both of them have reached the level of “Engine Prophet”.

The person Gu Hang trusts more is of course Wu Jiarong. But because of this, she has a more important task on her shoulders. She has to stay in the research institute of Weixing City at all times to protect the black box that cannot be known to outsiders.

The scientific research team she leads needs to provide technical support for the growing production system of Weixing City.

Compared with Hu Ke, he is not so busy.

His last major project was to carry out agricultural production guidance and grain seed gene optimization in Qinggu area.

This is a suitable job for him, as he specializes in genetic engineering.

In addition to agricultural construction in Qinggu area, he also has some work to build intensive soilless three-dimensional cultivation and planting factories in the settlements of the Central and Northern provinces where the population has not been relocated.

Gu Hang bought the relevant technology from his cousin.

Objectively speaking, Hu Ke’s work over a long period of time has provided great help to the food development of Angry Owl Star.

At the same time, Hu Ke is also a professor at the Alliance Technical College and has brought many students.

Not to mention those who are still in the learning stage in the classroom, those who have reached a certain level were brought by him to actually participate in some specific research projects.

After the technical guidance work of food production was on the right track, Hu Ke gradually withdrew himself and mainly handed it over to his students to carry out relevant technical processing.

And he himself was given the work of supervising the construction of the star port by Gu Hang.

To be honest, Hu Ke has not been fully trusted by Gu Hang, and the secrets of the black box will definitely not be exposed to him.

But the special thing about the construction of the star port is that this is not a star port built by a black box, but a complete set of [blueprints].

Of course, it also includes several black boxes for the production of key components, or mass production mother machines of key components. This part, Gu Hang still threw it into the research institute in Weixing City. But there are still some common parts, The production of structures, and the assembly of various parts still have high technical requirements.

If we rely solely on skilled workers to handle it, the progress will be very slow and problems will easily occur.

Hu Ke and his team are here to take on this part of the work.

Although, the construction of the star port is certainly not the part that he, a genetic engineering expert, is good at. But after all, the basic ability is here. Even if there is no specialization bonus, it is much more reliable than just grabbing someone with poor technical ability to take charge.

And he did not disappoint Gu Hang’s expectations.

Hu Ke took Governor Gu to inspect the ground part of the star port.

This is also a large construction site, but the scale is much larger than the orbital part.

The top priority is the second magnetic track leading to the star port that has already been built. With the gradual expansion of the scale of the orbital star port, the new magnetic tracks will allow the star port, which can only be regarded as barely operating, to continuously improve the throughput of goods and personnel.

The overall situation is still quite gratifying.

At present, there are two main reasons that restrict the speed of star port construction: the production capacity of core components is worrying; the number of engineering machines suitable for space operations is seriously insufficient.

These two problems are being worked hard to overcome.

The core components of the Star Port are still very dependent on being manufactured in the laboratory of Weixing City (with black boxes), then transported here for assembly. However, the relevant industrial lines have already begun to be built. The first batch of mass production factories for Star Port components have been established near the Star Port City, and they can be put into production as soon as the equipment is transported from Weixing City.

Once this factory is put into production, 70% of the demand for core components can be met on site within two months, and the construction speed of the Star Port will increase significantly.

As for the second problem, the engineering machines for space operations, they will mainly rely on the industrial power of Weixing City to solve. After they are freed from the work of producing core components for the Star Port, they will have more energy to focus on building more space engineering machines.

Gu Hang couldn’t help nodding his head.

It is normal to have problems, as long as there is a solution.

During the inspection, a senior official of the Alliance also hurried to the scene.

That was the provincial head of Xiongya Province, Rafar.

As the province closest to the west and the first to be recovered among the three eastern provinces, under the leadership of Rafar, the development plan of Xiongya Province is the most complete and fastest.

On the one hand, this depends on the geographical advantage and the construction of the Star Port in the Skaro Highlands in Xiongya Province. On the other hand, it is also because Rafar, the chief, is really capable.

During the inspection, Rafar told Governor Gu in detail about his subsequent series of development plans.

I won’t say much about the Star Port. With this Star Port as the core, Rafar will build a city here.

Skaro City will also be called Star Port City.

The main positioning of Skaro City is a transportation hub.

There are many fast access roads, including railways and highways, forming a road network, with Skaro City as the center, extending to various regions of the entire alliance.

Many industries generated by road transportation, such as logistics, road maintenance, vehicle maintenance, energy processing and other industries, are in the process of preparation.

A large number of convenient trade services are also provided here, which is convenient for subsequent cities and industrial zones to set up foreign trade branches here.

These are the core driving forces for the future development of Skaro City.

However, the so-called long-term motivation is still a matter of the future. At present, the biggest driving force

for the development of Scarro City is the construction of the Star Port. There is no doubt that the construction of the Star Port itself will create huge market demand. Hundreds of thousands of workers work here, their food, clothing, housing and transportation have given birth to the initial market of Scarro City; the parts factory serving the construction of the Star Port will also give birth to a large number of services; Rafar is even working hard to introduce some production lines and establish a preliminary raw material processing system in Scarro City.

With the help of the developed road network and the huge demand brought by the construction of the Star Port, Scarro City even has the opportunity to become an industrial city before becoming a hub city.

This is certainly not a bad thing.

During the half-day inspection of the construction of the Star Port and the inspection of Scarro City, Gu Hang was generally satisfied with the development here.

Before Gu Hang was about to leave, Hu Ke applied to have a private chat with him.

“Thank you very much for letting me participate in the construction of the Star Port.” Hu Ke’s face was filled with a smile.

Gu Hang was also very polite: “I should thank you for your efforts.”

“No, no, no… This is what I should do. I am receiving salary and benefits from the Union Government, so I should do these things. And the technical blueprint you gave me to participate in the construction of the Starport is really… I’m sorry, I don’t know how to describe it. This whole set of technical blueprints is really incredible! I have learned a lot from it.” “

In the past, for a long time, I was confused about my future development. I haven’t felt my progress for a long time. However, in the past few months, I feel that my abilities have increased significantly. All of this is due to participating in this project, so I must thank you!”

When Gu Hang heard this, he had already vaguely realized what Hu Ke meant.

But he didn’t speak.

Hu Ke secretly glanced at Gu Hang’s expression, but didn’t see anything, so he could only continue: “Your planet… or to be more precise, the research institute run by Ms. Wu Jiarong is really amazing. Various technologies emerge from the research institute in an endless stream, which makes people yearn for it… If possible, I would like to join the research institute.”

As expected.

Gu Hang sighed.

In the research institute of Weixing City, one technology after another is constantly gushing out like a fountain. This matter cannot be hidden from those who are interested.

Maybe no one has such a strong imagination that they will suddenly think that there are already dozens of black boxes there, and as Gu Hang points out more and more technology trees, there will be more and more. However, it is normal to think that there are secrets there.

Otherwise, are all developed by Wu Jiarong?

That’s too genius.

It’s not that such a genius is not allowed to appear, but that even if there is really an invincible genius sitting in the research institute and the scientific research ability is impeccable, it always takes time to produce so many results.

But Wu Jiarong seems to have no time to do these.

Gu Hang understands Hu Ke’s curiosity very well, and he is the same.

It’s not just Hu Ke.

In the past, although the development speed of Angry Owl Star was fast, and Gu Hang rose very fast, after all, the stage was limited to this planet without even a starport, and there was not much interstellar communication. Even if there are abnormalities, people are too lazy to pay attention.

Just like most people would not care about what happened in an ant nest.

However, as the Angry Owl Star develops faster and faster and its influence develops towards a larger stage, the situation on the Angry Owl Star is no longer as simple as an ant nest.

Even now, people will begin to be surprised at how Gu Hang built a strong army on a wasteland planet, how it developed so rapidly in just a few years, and how those mature production lines were produced.

In this regard, Gu Hang has prepared two sets of arguments.

First, Wu Jiarong is a genius.

Second, it was invested and built by the Gu family.

These statements may be enough for general situations, but for those who are interested and have carefully investigated the rise of the Angry Owl Star Alliance, it is a bit unreasonable.

And Gu Hang was too lazy to find a new statement – he couldn’t find one.

In fact, the backup plan he prepared for this matter was just one move: no response, strong confidentiality.

The alliance’s security work for Wu Jiarong’s research institute was raised to the highest level, even more stringent than Gu Hang’s own security.

Apart from Wu Jiarong, there is no other living person who can access the black box – the servitors are not considered human beings, and they will not reveal secrets.

How the Alliance developed and how it pulled out so many technologies, you can guess it yourself.

You can guess whatever you want, but if you want to get evidence, you can only dream about it.

As for the above-board investigation.

Gu Hang will sternly refuse it as the planetary governor.

Imperial law gives the planetary governor all the power on his own planet, and Gu Hang certainly has the power to do so.

Of course, this so-called power needs to be guaranteed by strength.

Gu Hang’s future goal is to ensure that he has the strength to do it, so that no one from the star district government to the Inquisition and the Mechanicus can force an investigation.

Without actual evidence, there is no way to cause trouble through formal channels; without evidence, it is difficult for certain forces to really make a big move with just a guess.

Of course, before Gu Hang develops to a certain extent, there is no need to worry too much about this issue for the time being.

It’s still the same metaphor. When he was still an ant nest, no one would care what happened in the ant nest, let alone think that the infinitely precious black boxes would be piled up densely in this ant nest.

To be honest, other possibilities are much more reliable than “Governor Gu has a system that can easily take out a lot of black boxes.”

As for whether to be more cautious in the use of the technology tree in the future… Gu Hang does not intend to do so.

There is no doubt that we must do our best to be cautious and keep secrets.

But if we slow down our development speed for the sake of confidentiality, Gu Hang does not intend to do so.

That is putting the cart before the horse.

As for Hu Ke’s request at the moment, Gu Hang had an idea when he had anticipated what he wanted to say.

He spread his hands to Hu Ke and said frankly: “Mr. Hu, I understand your curiosity about the Alliance Research Institute. It is the core of the Alliance’s technological output and contains core secrets. I also hope that you can join there. You will learn a lot of secrets, which will be of great benefit to you. But…”

“Please let me be frank. In order to ensure that the secrets are not leaked, I need everyone who joins the institute to be trustworthy enough. Mr. Hu, you still need to go through a period of testing. Perhaps you must go to Zhongsi College.” “

In addition, also for the sake of keeping secrets, you will lose a lot after joining the institute. Your actions may be restricted, and your every word and action may need to be reported and closely monitored; the time you spend with your family will also be reduced…”

At this point, Gu Hang spread his hands, looked at Hu Ke and said: “You may want to think about this matter carefully.”

After listening to this, Hu Ke was indeed a little hesitant.

He really didn’t think about the black box aspect. His most previous guess was that there were many technical blueprints obtained by the Gu family in the institute. For example, the construction of various technical weapons and means of production are all achieved through the reproduction of technical blueprints.

Those are also what he wants to obtain.

Studying those technical blueprints will greatly improve his level.

However, he quite understands the reason why Gu Hang said to “keep the secret”.

He has to pay so much for this, be closely monitored, and always be careful when getting along with his family. This is indeed a bit difficult to accept.

“Don’t worry.” Gu Hang said, “You can make this choice at any time. You don’t have to give me an answer right now.”

“Thank you, Mr. Governor, I will think about the whole thing carefully.”

After the chat, Gu Hang boarded the Fengxuan and returned to Fuxing City.

Here, his loyal subordinates have a lot of things to report to him.

But before that, he needs to do something else first.

The nearly 20,000 points of gifts on hand must be spent.
