Chapter 251 Completion

The metal liquid is still expanding around the colony, swallowing up the abandoned residential areas.

After seeing those people who were forcibly taken away from the residential areas by the metal liquid, but not sent to the location where the left path is currently being processed.

Someone from the government and the army came to inquire about the situation immediately.

After all, Chen Ming obviously planned to completely destroy the residential area, rather than bypassing the residential area and expanding new industrial areas outside the residential area.

If these people are displaced, it will definitely not be good news for the government.

Chen Ming, a psychic, forcibly doing this to ordinary people is not good news for the army.

However, Chen Ming obviously has a purpose in doing this.

He wants to collect all the excess materials obtained from the destruction of the residential area and use them in the new residential area he will arrange for those who will continue to stay on the planet after the expansion of the colony is completed.

Of course, Chen Ming also saved everything in everyone and everyone's residence.

Anyway, he now has Huihuang and several other idle Alpha cores acting as external brains. It is easy to remember and pack everyone's home with metal liquid.

There may be some fragile things that are not easy to take away, or they may be damaged during the transportation of metal liquid.

But Chen Ming can give partial compensation for these things later. Anyway, the government should not mind helping him pay for this.

When the new residential area is built later, these residents who suddenly lost their original houses will be stuffed into the new big houses by Chen Ming.

Anyway, the abandoned residential area is so large, there are materials and space. He doesn't mind giving more places to people working here. Chen Ming can have a lot of building materials left if everyone is given a three-bedroom and one-living room.

Chen Ming doesn't believe that someone will be unhappy about replacing the original houses with more than 20 years of history with new larger residences. This is not a loss in any way.

Uh...

Chen Ming hesitated when he thought of this, because it is really possible.

Some people may not want to leave their old homes and complain about his forced relocation.

But some people may be greedy. He still knows the truth that people are greedy.

Chen Ming doesn't care about the previous one. At most, he will be scolded by others in private. Being scolded won't hurt him.

He didn't have the energy to deal with this matter for each person and each family individually. What he could do was to provide everyone with the same standard environment.

Chen Ming had learned about the original living environment of the residential area in the colony, and the living environment he provided was definitely better than the original one.

After being scolded for a while, things would naturally pass.

But for the latter, if someone really wanted to be shameless, he wouldn't mind using some privileges to drive people out.

Anyway, the government departments were worried about the damage to the stability of the neighboring colonies caused by the large-scale outflow of population.

And the problem of one or two or a dozen people would not cause any waves in the entire social environment.

He could do this, but it was not necessary in general.

After confirming this idea

and explaining this idea to the people who came to inquire about the situation.

Chen Ming continued to use his spiritual power to the entire colony without scruples.

Anyway, he only planned to take care of the remaining population in the colony, and did not plan to continue to open the colony to the outside world in the future...

and so on.

Chen Ming suddenly realized another problem, so he picked up the terminal and called Bai Quan, asking: "Does the colony have any other requirements?"

Bai Quan was a little puzzled by Chen Ming's question and asked: "What do you mean?"

"Does my colony need to be open to the outside world and accept foreign population in the future?"

"Yes."

"Really."

This affirmative answer made Chen Ming feel a little uncomfortable for a while.

"This is the basic obligation that the colony needs to do. These contents can be checked on the official website."

"In short, you can't explicitly prohibit anyone from entering your colony, and you need to provide equal treatment to all the imperial citizens who come, such as job opportunities and places to live."

"Of course, you don't have to provide foreign populations with what you now have to provide to the original residents for free."

"Anyway, the entire colony is yours, you can completely provide these things to foreigners at a reasonable price."

"This is also one of the sources of income for the colony, and you don't have to force it to refuse."

Bai Quan explained to Chen Ming and suggested: "If you really don't want people, then you can Set very strict screening standards for entering the colony to screen out the people you don't need. "

"The owner of the colony can still set the requirements in this regard, so that not all bad people can enter and leave the colony at will."

"It's just that ordinary colonies only conduct simple identity checks, so there are so many things like left paths. You don't need to do this at all."

"But my suggestion is not to raise the screening conditions too high, just keep it at the level that can screen out ordinary people, but keep good people."

"Don't you have an extraordinary laboratory? You can just build a branch in this colony, and then use this laboratory as an excuse to raise the standards. "

"In this way, if someone can pass the review, you can hire him. If such a person is willing to work for you, you don't have to refuse, right?"

"It's okay if other ordinary people 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 standard? Just say that my side is full and only lacks high-end management talents."

"No."

Bai Quan decisively gave Chen Ming a negative answer: "Even if you are a psychic, you have to at least give people a face-saving reason."

"Many people know that the afterglow core is used in the empire, but it doesn't exist on the surface, so after your industrial colony is rebuilt, if there are only tens of thousands of people, it is impossible to say that it is saturated."

"There must be an excuse. With an excuse, the rest will be easy to deal with."

"The colonies in the empire must abide by the rules of the empire. Building a branch to pretend that everyone is happy." "

"And if you think about it this way, didn't you just go to the scientific research colony before? How do the conditions there compare to your current colony? "

Chen Ming didn't even need to recall and compare before he said, "It's not from the same era."

"You know this, right? Then let me put it a little harder. Where will the capable researchers go?"

Bai Quan paused after speaking so that Chen Ming could understand what he meant.

"So as long as you set the standard, you don't have to worry about someone being full and overwhelmed."

Bai Quan's voice suddenly lowered: "As for what you said before, you want to relocate the residents of the heavy industrial colony."

"Originally, this is not possible, but you are a psychic. As long as you can get this done quickly, and make it a done deal without giving others a chance to stop it, these things will not be a problem."

"Anyway, as long as there are no large-scale social events later, no one dares and no one will investigate your actions."

"I can also give you a suggestion, which is to remember to demolish all the places for people to live in the heavy industrial colony after the people are relocated."

"Anyway, you can rely on the Yuhui core to do things, and it doesn't matter whether there are people or not. "

"As long as you don't have such a place for ordinary people to live, then you don't have the ability to provide them with residential areas, and there is no need to accept foreign population."

"In this case, your colony is affected by objective conditions, not that you actively don't allow people to come."

"And your own colony is determined by yourself. As long as the general type remains unchanged, the heavy industrial colony is still a heavy industrial colony, and 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 a residential area again."

"It can be regarded as taking advantage of the loopholes in the law."

"But you remember that the people in the heavy industrial colony must be arranged for their destination. Whether you arrange them to the light industrial colony or contact someone to send them away, you must settle them well."

"Once these people cause large-scale problems, all the previous ones will become nonsense, and your ownership of the colony may be confiscated for violating the law."

After Bai Quan finished speaking, Chen Ming thought carefully for a moment and responded: "I understand, just arrange the people, and let me do the rest, then I will 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 with Bai Quan, was watching all this from a distance, and silently calculated the amount of Chen Ming's mental power with the terminal in his hand.

Just by seeing the surging spiritual energy fluctuations on Chen Ming's body and the metallic liquid that swept across the entire colony.

He Gu had already come to an exaggerated conclusion, that is, the amount of spiritual power Chen Ming possessed was more than what was shown in the simulation and more than he had estimated before.

Either his talent was more exaggerated, or he had more good things on hand for psychics to exercise their spiritual energy.

He Gu calculated silently, and the result was both.

At this moment, a destroyer-class cargo ship suddenly appeared in the sky and was slowly descending, and landed directly next to Chen Ming.

This spaceship was also the spaceship that Chen Ming had asked Bai Quan to report before. The cargo on it was one of the few that Chen Ming could not use directly. Some gamma and beta level afterglow cores that can be transferred over long distances.

These cores will soon be installed by Chen Ming in the industrial zone, 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 of the entire colony.

When doing these types of work, afterglow is much more useful than people.

People still have to consider whether they have selfish intentions and whether they will be involved with Zuo Jing in the future.

But afterglow is different. They are all inextricably linked to Chen Ming, and there will be no betrayal before Chen Ming falls.

Afterglow will definitely spare no effort to help him manage everything in the colony, including Zuo Jing.

Shortly after the cargo ship landed, the pouring metal liquid gradually spread from the edge of the industrial zone to the edge of the outer residential area as time passed.

After the entire residential area was plowed into flat land, industrial buildings and industrial facilities were gradually built on the original location of the residential area.

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 the colony in just a few hours under the power of Chen Ming alone.

This is the psychic.

These gradually emerging 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, but continued to use the large amount of materials stored in the temporary base to fill part of the gap according to his own needs, and continued to expand the colony by about 10%.

The total area occupied by the expanded industrial area has reached three times the previous area.

However, compared with the area of ​​the basic industrial area, the additional extension only occupies more than half of the original residential area.

Things are not over yet, after all, Chen Ming had just demolished the residential area.

The new residential area is still a ring surrounding the industrial area as before.

According to the year-round wind direction determined by the overall climate, the downwind vent of the industrial zone was separated. Instead of building a residential area, a large amount of space was left to build a wide road from the Earth Core Furnace Power Tower directly to the outside of the colony.

Whether it is used directly for transportation or for the transportation of materials, it is no problem.

And the design of this colony seems to have considered similar issues before.

The direction of the downwind vent is exactly the location of the abandoned space elevator where Chen Ming's Stardust-class docked, which is very convenient for Chen Ming to carry out other subsequent transformations, and it is also convenient for Chen Ming to repair all valuable things in the entire colony.

In the simulation, Chen Ming only repaired and expanded the colony, and the gambling agreement in reality only required Chen Ming to do these two points.

The rest are extra things he has to do.

The new residential area soon began to be constructed.

The metal liquid gathered tons of materials for Chen Ming to touch, and then Chen Ming could directly use the materials to dismantle the abandoned building materials and send them to the warehouse, and these materials could naturally be applied to the actual needs.

There is an advantage to doing this, that is, all the residential areas are built by relying on his psychic power, and they all have unique mechanical structures.

He can truly make the entire colony his eyes and ears, so that he can ensure that all problems in the entire colony cannot escape monitoring.

Of course, all this is still left to Yu Hui to deal with, Chen Ming does not have the time to spend on these things.

Since the population of the colony is too small compared to the area of ​​the colony, Chen Ming did not use the standard of apartment buildings, but used the standard of bungalows to build new residential areas.

Although he is not proficient in architectural planning, he only learned a little about it in the previous simulation because of Hong Guanghong.

But it is still no problem to design a residential area that can sustain life.

In addition to the basic residential houses for people to live in, other basic livelihood buildings will definitely be arranged in.

Just calculate the number of independent and residential buildings in the original residential area, such as shops, clinics, water purification plants that provide purified water, and other special buildings.

These were originally entrusted by the Lou Wei faction to the local government to help operate and manage.

After all, it is a small colony, and the materials are basically not self-sufficient. It definitely needs external support and subsidies. Without these things, the colony would have collapsed long ago.

Now these things have to be taken care of by Chen Ming, and he still handed these tasks to Yu Hui, letting them control the robots to take charge of the management of these places that are important to people's livelihood, so that there should be no major problems later.

After the general construction of the residential area, Chen Ming asked the ordinary people who were carried by the metal liquid to wait outside the colony to take back their own things, and each of them got their own things, and at the same time, they went to where they should go.

That is, the new house that Huihuang helped to allocate for everyone.

It will take some time for them to get familiar with the environment and understand what happened, and then Chen Ming estimated that there should be a lot of scolding.

But the problem is not big, Huihuang has helped to provide everyone with the corresponding notifications and gave them a special channel for complaints.

And when they see the brand new new home and all kinds of new furniture that have been purchased and a better environment.

Chen Ming believes that there should not be too many people coming to complain through the complaint channel.

If there are complaints, let Yu Hui handle it. Reasonable requests can be agreed to, but unreasonable ones can be kicked out directly.

Chen Ming also connected this complaint channel to the government, and they will help take care of it.

As for the prisoners who were originally sent here, Chen Ming plans to take them out and send them back to the prison where they were sent. He doesn't welcome such people.

It should have been like this.

But the government department brought a few more people when Chen Ming was dealing with the left-wing elements.

They were the managers of the prison who had signed a cooperative management agreement on prisoners with the Lou Wei faction.

And when they met with Chen Ming, they gave too much.

Chen Ming estimated that the money they were willing to pay for renewing the contract after changing the owner of the colony should be the penalty given to them by the Lou Wei faction.

After all, providing labor reform places for prisons is 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 he built with his own hands, 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 sat alone in the corner of the shuttle, his face full of gray.
