Jiang Ye casually wrote down a few names on the paper as he spoke.
Gant, the chess player.
Rao Cheng Zhou, the King of the North Pole.
Walck, the soft bone.
Afterward, he added the names Harrison and Bradley after Walck's, circled the three names, and wrote Tian Rao outside.
Tian Rao looked at it silently for a while, "What are your specific plans for Wheeler Star? Will you directly find an excuse to occupy it with troops? Or will you manipulate these warlords into infighting to weaken their strength first?"
Jiang Ye shook his head, "I don't have specific plans for now. I need more intelligence. I'll read this box of intelligence you sent first. Besides that, I need to ask Chief Dai for his opinion."
"Who is Chief Dai?" Tian Rao was stunned, "Isn't it Chief Li?"
"You can ask the think tank during the meeting in a couple of days," Jiang Ye smiled.
"The intelligence I can tell you verbally is basically this much. The rest is in the files," Tian Rao said, "So what is my next task?"
"Continue to collect intelligence. Try to get in touch with the people you mentioned," Jiang Ye said, "The environmental transformation of Spiral Star is progressing rapidly. It is estimated that large-scale immigration can begin within two years. I hope for double happiness: as Spiral Star develops, Wheeler Star can also be unified, ending the current situation of warlord infighting. But I don't want to own Wheeler Star for now. Finding a suitable person to manage Wheeler Star is the top priority."
"Understood," Tian Rao nodded, biting her lip blankly, her expression a little reluctant. She looked around, "Can I leave if there's nothing else?"
"You don't seem to want to leave so soon, judging by your expression?" Jiang Ye asked.
"I want to play here for a while, but I'm afraid you won't agree," Tian Rao blinked, "And I'm afraid Sister Meng will be unhappy."
"How could that be? There's nothing fun in my office. I'll find a female guard to show you around the warship," Jiang Ye smiled, "I guess you haven't seen what the various compartments of a warship look like. They are actually very interesting."
"Okay," Tian Rao nodded.
Jiang Ye picked up his phone and called for a female guard. Tian Rao obediently left the office and began her tour.
Jiang Ye continued to bury himself in work, processing official documents.
Although he was in orbit around Spiral Star, most of his work actually came from other planets. After all, Spiral Star was currently just a large vegetable garden, far less complex than a planet with billions of people.
However, matters concerning Spiral Star were prioritized.
The deep geological scanning of Spiral Star had started two weeks ago, and the results just came out late last night. Jiang Ye could see the cross-section structure of Spiral Star by clicking on his desk screen. The deep layers were solid metallic rocks, while the surface had countless pores, resembling bubbles in a sponge or a steamed bun.
Simultaneously with the scanning results, the military's artificial intelligence also produced a modification report.
The report recommended transporting a large amount of water to Spiral Star, using flooding to aid in the formation of oceans, and simultaneously filling and collapsing some of the pores. Moreover, water is a fluid mass. Once a water cycle is formed, it will be evenly distributed across various latitudes, increasing gravity while also balancing it, thus bringing Spiral Star's gravity within the range habitable by humans.
As for the source of water, the report suggested collecting it from the nearest few planets and asteroid belts. Water could be collected directly, or hydrogen and oxygen could be collected and manufactured artificially. The cost would be much cheaper than buying from water-selling planets.
The budget for the entire project was as high as thirty trillion, which made Jiang Ye's heart clench.
Indeed, you get what you pay for. It felt like buying a scrapped car that needed a lot of money to replace parts before it could be driven.
And this thirty trillion was based on the premise that Jiang Ye's planet already had a certain level of industrialization. If it were a planet with weak industrial technology, it would have to outsource the water transportation to interstellar companies, and the quote might not be less than sixty trillion.
Time was of the essence, and Jiang Ye quickly approved the report.
The "Sea Creation" project was officially launched.
Jiang Ye issued an urgent order, with Xu Yan's construction company taking the lead, and Bi Rong Construction, Liuxing Construction, Bai'e Military Industry, and other companies participating, to prepare for water extraction work between the four planets and two asteroid belts near Spiral Star. It was estimated that 100 million cubic kilometers of natural water and 800 million cubic kilometers of gas-to-water would be extracted within 5 months, and a total of 900 million cubic kilometers of water would be transported to designated locations on Spiral Star.
The Jiang Ye Star Interstellar Engineering Design Institute found the detailed plan for creating a sea for an affiliated planet 20 years ago within two hours and handed it over to the Jiang Ye Star Interstellar Engineering Research Institute without reservation. At the same time, Fu Qiuyan issued an urgent order to summon the more than ten academicians who had formulated and revised the plan to form a technical advisory group and dispatch them to the Spiral Star fleet.
Jiang Ye Star and Bi Rong Star contacted hundreds of geological designers worldwide to participate jointly. They plunged into the battle overnight, producing a preliminary plan within 36 hours and forming a joint working group with engineers from construction units within 72 hours.
Feng Zhi Shuang's Macroeconomic Grand Building initiated its fundraising mode, rapidly gathering deposits stored in banks on various planets and some funds from the investment market, while also issuing small-scale planetary bonds to raise funds from the public. Meanwhile, Tian Rao launched a donation drive at the Fuhai City Rich Club and secured 88 billion in phased corporate donations to support the construction of Spiral Star.
Concurrently, companies in various industries, both on the planets controlled by Jiang Ye and on the alien planets with trade relations, began to get excited. They were all trying to find connections and opportunities to gather information, wanting to hop on this express train.
The scale of the Sea Creation project was enormous. The thirty trillion downpour would not all fall on Xingyou Enterprises. Some things still required services from civilian companies, ranging from auxiliary communication systems and construction raw materials to the food and clothing for the workers. Vast amounts of money would flow everywhere like water, and whoever drank it would benefit.
As soon as the project started, Jiang Ye's workload increased slightly, with his daily working hours changing from eleven hours to twelve hours.
It wasn't that there was too much more official business, but rather that Jiang Ye intentionally delegated the heavy responsibilities for this Sea Creation project to other chiefs and high-ranking officials of the planets.
Shao Wan and Isabel were so exhausted they felt like vomiting blood.
Isabel called Jiang Ye multiple times to complain, but Jiang Ye encouraged her with a smile, saying he would consider reducing her workload, and then there was no follow-up.
The reason for placing the heavy burden on Shao Wan and Isabel was Jiang Ye's intention to train them.
In the future, if Jiang Ye controlled more planets, both openly and secretly, his time to handle specific planetary affairs would be greatly reduced. Every planet must have the ability to operate independently and complete major tasks.
