Chapter 62 Basic Problems That Are Difficult to Solve

The Grand Hall of May City, also known as the Mayor's Hall, is located in the same place as the Supreme Council of April City, but the building style is more technological than the solemn style of April City.

The tall dome is emitting soft lights, illuminating everyone evenly, and the arc-shaped seats look similar to the Supreme Council, except that the number of seats has increased by more than 300, densely packed in five circles, and each person's position is equipped with a corresponding virtual screen to display real-time data and votes.

As for the stage in the center, which is also the brightest place in the entire venue, it is the venue of Yuri Amalfi, the main person in charge of this event, member of the National Defense Committee and mayor of May City.

As a versatile person in all fields of engineering, he is also the well-deserved first person in the entire May City. He was voted by the citizens of May City for his achievements as mayor.

And there is no need to worry about security here. Preparations start three months in advance every year, and a large number of police and military forces are dispatched, even better than the security measures of the Supreme Council.

After all, if it is bombed once, the industrial technology level of the entire PLANT will probably regress by more than ten years.

"Mayor May"

Looking at the name on the virtual business card in the center, He Kui, who was walking with Su Lei, sighed.

"Is it the first time we meet? But Mr. Amalfi is a good person, so don't be nervous."

This man will have to go on stage to receive the medal in a while, so he must be nervous. Thinking of Su Lei, he comforted him.

". Yeah."

But unlike what Su Lei thought, He Kui was just talking to himself and trying his best to recall the plot.

Of course he still remembers Amalfi, after all, Nigel's death is also a big event, which directly led to everything that happened later.

Nigel was cut by Kira with a knife, and he probably could have cut him with a knife if he went up.

No, the knife can cut the tiger, right? That is. Vulcan Cannon?

"So I said Mr. Amalfi is a good person!"

"Okay."

After retracting his thoughts, He Kui shrugged and continued to ask.

"Where is the director of the asteroid mineral mining research group you mentioned before?"

"The one with gray hair in the second row, Schaefer Daly"

"That's him."

He Kui vaguely seemed to have seen the other person's name in a paper related to beam mining before.

Judging from his age, he should be a first-generation adjuster of the same generation as several mayors.

"The meeting is about to start. Let's talk after it ends."

"Okay."

As everyone sat down on time, the dome in the sky dimmed, and the light slowly focused on Yuri Amalfi, who came in last.

He quickly walked to the center of the podium.

"Experts, scholars, and comrades of PLANT, welcome to the fifth joint council of the five major design bureaus again. I, Yuri Amalfi, am very honored as the city representative of May City to have the opportunity to discuss cutting-edge scientific fields with you again and witness our achievements this year with the directors of each group."

A warm applause rang through the venue, and the subsequent agenda was slowly advanced under the guidance of Yuri Amalfi.

An hour later

"Next, we also want to thank Director He and Director Hanifs of the Miniaturized Beam Weapons Research Group for their contributions. Director He, do you have any stories and experiences behind this honor that you can share with us?"

After seeing Amalfi put on the first-class future medal for him, He Kui raised a polite smile and took a step forward. In this center, facing the three hundred people in front of him, he was a little timid, but followed by a burst of pride.

"Thank you for your recognition of our work. I am very honored to receive this honor. On this road of exploration, we cannot do without the support and help of the team, and of course, we cannot do without the cultivation of the Heilan Design Bureau. We are willing to continue to work hard and turn this honor into a driving force to move forward and create a better PLANT!"

At this time, the directors in the audience also had various looks, some were envious, some were flattering, some were jealous, and some were indifferent.

There are divisions between directors based on the importance of the project and the funds received.

He Kui's project itself is the focus of ZAFT's research in the entire design bureau. He doesn't have to run around for funding or run around for a little success. Most directors can't help but envy him.

Of course, there are many projects that are as important as or even exceed the beam weapon group, and those people look at them indifferently.

Amid applause with different ideas, He Kui came down.

The highlight on his body disappeared and he turned back into an ordinary person.

But the highlight now does not belong to him.

"Not bad? How long did you think about it?"

Su Lei teased He Kui as he returned to his seat.

"I searched it online."

"I know~"

The rest of the meeting was just some discussions about where future technology should develop. Of course, some research groups tried their best to promote their research in order to get more funds, but He Kui didn't need it. Even if their beam group didn't succeed in research before, they had sufficient funds. If he wasn't afraid of being arrested like the previous one, he would become a multi-millionaire in a minute.

"This is He Kui, Director He, whom I told you about before."

In a small room outside the conference room, Su Lei introduced the two people.

"Hello, Director He, who are you looking for this time?"

Shafer Daly from the Asteroid Mining Research Group asked curiously.

"I want to discuss with you the impact of beam miniaturization on asteroid mining."

". In fact, we held an internal meeting not long ago on this aspect, but after all, the beam weapon is still in the military trial stage, and it cannot be delivered to us so quickly, and the specific trial and error work cannot be started. And, if I may be frank, your beam may not increase the speed of asteroid mining so significantly."

"Please continue."

He Kui asked like a good student.

"When mining for resource extraction, Director He's beam as a cutting tool can certainly play a role, but if there is no breakthrough in resource processing and refining technology, the final result is just the accumulation of raw materials."

"I understand, thank you."

"It's okay, contact me anytime if you have any questions."

The other party is a rising star of the Hailan Design Bureau. Although Shafer Daly is also the director, his status in the eyes of the National Defense Committee may not be as high as the other party.

So at this time, his face was not as serious as when the meeting started, but showed a warm smile of an elder.

"Definitely."

After saying that, the two of them clasped their hands together before saying goodbye and leaving.

"Have you finished talking?"

"Yeah."

"How was it?"

"Not very good."

The fundamental problem has not been solved.

"After all, our focus has been on military equipment recently, and there is really not much funding for mining research."

Su Lei said, patting He Kui's head with her jade hand.

"There will always be a chance."

"Well, I actually have another question."

"What?"

Su Lei tilted her head slightly, and the upward arc of her small mouth gave people a gentle feeling.

"How old are you?"

Although Su Lei looks like a lolita, he can't be a lolita control.

"He Kui! What do you mean!"

Before Su Lei stood on tiptoe and grabbed He Kui's collar to question, a knock on the door came from outside.

"Is Director He in there?"

The voice outside the door was Yuri Amalfi.
