"Rest assured, I've balanced the assets for everyone. After they're resurrected, their net worth will be roughly the same – no one will be too rich or too poor," Feng Zhi Shuang said. "The average is five hundred and seventy thousand, enough for them to buy some affordable housing, settle down, and then work in various cities."
"With the population more than doubling, the job market is also a major concern," Jiang Ye worried.
"It's not like the population will double in a single day. Solaris Technology Company has limited production capacity; these people will come back gradually," Feng Zhi Shuang said. "As long as we have a plan for population growth and sufficiently high expected wealth, alien enterprises will flock here desperately. There will definitely be no shortage of job opportunities; the fear is a lack of manpower."
"Although they still have to queue up for resurrection," Jiang Ye said, "the sooner the money arrives, the sooner I'll have the funds to fight the war on Bi Rong Star."
"Don't worry, it will be very fast," Feng Zhi Shuang suddenly changed the subject. "Hey, I've received a message. Xu Yan's spaceship has just arrived in the orbit of Jiang Ye Star and is about to land."
"She's back and messaged you first, not me?" Jiang Ye was surprised. "I'm jealous."
"Can you please not be a jealous person? It wasn't her who messaged me proactively."
"Then who?"
"I have software here that automatically identifies the owner and passengers of any spaceship entering or leaving Jiang Ye Star. If there's a key figure, it pops up a notification for me. After all, I'm in charge of macroeconomics; I can't let any big fish slip away," Feng Zhi Shuang said. "I didn't ask her to come back; you did, right?"
"Of course," Jiang Ye said.
An hour and a half later.
Xu Yan rushed into the Commander's Mansion.
As soon as she saw Jiang Ye, she was so excited she almost jumped. "Daddy Jiang!"
Jiang Ye's face twitched. "Don't call me that!"
"I mean it from the bottom of my heart!" Xu Yan's face was beaming with excitement. "After you sent me the message last night, I couldn't sleep all night. I couldn't lie still and bounced on my bed for a long time. I dozed off on the way here, and in my dream, you became my biological father!"
"You're just saying whatever makes you happy..." Jiang Ye was speechless. "Director Xu, you're also a renowned entrepreneur; you need to maintain your image! Promise me you won't call me that again, okay?"
"Okay, Daddy!" Xu Yan nodded vigorously, her hairstyle getting messed up.
Cen Ye Meng and Li Nan Nan, who were chatting nearby, were stunned.
"What's going on?" Li Nan Nan blinked.
"Xu Yan, you actually call my husband 'Daddy'? Then what should you call me?" Cen Ye Meng asked.
"I'll call you 'Sister'," Xu Yan said with a grin.
"Hey! Why?" Cen Ye Meng was even more bewildered.
"Because Daddy Jiang gave me the construction rights for fifty major cities!" Xu Yan laughed heartily.
Cen Ye Meng and Li Nan Nan exchanged glances and suddenly understood.
Fifty cities in total were handed over to Xu Yan for construction.
The cost would undoubtedly be astronomical, incredibly terrifying.
In that case, Xu Yan was considered relatively calm.
Anyone else who could earn enough money to last ten thousand or even a hundred thousand years might have acted even more exaggeratedly. It wouldn't be surprising if they died of excitement.
"Congratulations, but you don't need to be this over the top," Cen Ye Meng smiled.
"Hey," Xu Yan looked at Cen Ye Meng, as if she just remembered something. "Meng Meng, your husband earns even more than me. What I'm earning is just what leaks from your husband's fingertips. When you first heard about Solaris Star, how did you feel? Weren't you also thrilled?"
"Yes," Cen Ye Meng smiled.
"Were you unable to sleep?" Xu Yan asked.
"No," Cen Ye Meng continued cheerfully. "I've always slept soundly."
"How is that possible!" Xu Yan was shocked.
"You think Meng Meng is as inexperienced as you," Li Nan Nan also laughed. "Meng Meng grew up surrounded by mountains of gold and silver. When her father was at his peak..."
Li Nan Nan suddenly stopped talking because Cen Ye Meng was reaching out to pat her, looking embarrassed.
Jiang Ye thought for a moment. Once the funds from Solaris Star arrived, he should be wealthier than his father-in-law.
"But honestly," Li Nan Nan said, "it's not very suitable to hand over so many projects on a planet to a single company."
Xu Yan glared at her, her expression resentful.
Li Nan Nan remained unfazed. Although they were good friends in private, there was still a hierarchy. Some things had to be said.
"It won't all be done by one company," Jiang Ye said. "The cities where the twenty-nine million reincarnated people will live will be undertaken by many construction companies, but White Ant Real Estate will be in overall charge, inspecting the engineering quality and supervising the construction process. Only some key projects will be personally handled by White Ant Real Estate."
Li Nan Nan nodded, seemingly satisfied.
...
Two days later.
At 8 AM, Jiang Ye arrived at the reincarnation factory of Solaris Technology Company.
Today, the first batch of reincarnated people would be produced, a total of thirty thousand.
Lin Yu Ren, pushing his wheelchair, accompanied Jiang Ye to observe the production process in the workshop.
On the vast factory floor, three thousand metal and glass pods were embedded, resembling three thousand neatly arranged sarcophagi.
The first step was to cultivate brains.
Jiang Ye could see that each reincarnation pod already contained a semi-mature brain, pinkish in color, with noticeable differences in shape.
These brains had begun cultivation in the underground factory a few days prior. The rejection rate was as high as 300%, meaning three failed cultivations had to be discarded for every successful one.
"Are the brains of different people so different?" Jiang Ye asked.
"Yes," Lin Yu Ren nodded. "The internal structure differs even more than the external. These brains are manufactured according to the current state of the consciousnesses, and they will be very different from their brains in life. This is also the complex part of reincarnation technology; we cannot refer to the original brains and can only design the brain structure from scratch based on the laws of consciousness."
Under Jiang Ye's gaze, the semi-mature brains were being printed and perfected at a visible speed.
Each brain actually had a clearly discernible size difference.
Jiang Ye frowned. Did this mean there were many idiots and geniuses among these people?
"It's mainly due to body size. There's a term called the brain-to-body ratio, which refers to the ratio of brain size to body size. The larger the body, the larger the head needed to control the body's muscles and organs; this is a proportional amplification process. Age is also very important; the age of resurrection for these reincarnated people was chosen by the consciousnesses themselves, with the minimum being fourteen and the maximum being thirty. Their brain development is different. There's also the racial factor. On average, the brain capacity of East Asians is one-third of a small glass cup larger than Caucasians, and one small glass cup larger than Black people, with even greater individual variations," Lin Yu Ren explained. "Some consciousnesses had brain defects in life, but during the manufacturing of these reincarnated people, all are given healthy brains, so this factor is excluded."
"What is their genetic basis?" Jiang Ye asked.
"For those with archived genetic data from their lifetime, they will be produced according to that. They will look similar to how they did in life, and their temperaments will also be similar because their hormone levels will remain the same," Lin Yu Ren said. "For those without lifetime genetic data, they will be produced as average healthy individuals. There's also a technical challenge here, which is the conflict between the new brain of the consciousness and the old genes. We used a fusion method."
Jiang Ye, understanding only partially, nodded.
The indicator lights in the factory workshop turned green, and a murky yellow liquid began to soak the entire reincarnation pod.
The situation inside the pod was no longer visible, only the cornmeal-like liquid churning and occasional flashes of light.
After waiting for twenty minutes, the indicator lights turned orange.
The liquid inside the reincarnation pods gradually receded.
