The naval port had been expanded.
A large number of cruisers were lined up, quite imposing.
The warships alone docked in the port, if transported to ancient times, could have terrified a great many small countries.
Jiang Ye entered the office.
The office looked the same, but there was a new, unfamiliar woman.
The air conditioning was warm, and her attire was quite revealing. A loose white shirt, a red hip-hugging skirt, and big, wavy blonde hair.
Her figure was excellent, so much so that both men and women would want to steal a glance.
But her face was very cold, expressionless, and extremely haughty. As if speaking to her would yield no response, and anyone who tried to strike up a conversation would be slapped.
A hot body, a face like an iceberg – this was Jiang Ye’s first impression of her.
“Commander, I am the new secretary arranged by Liu Ji Zi, Su Yueming,” she said to Jiang Ye, neither subservient nor overbearing.
“Have you gotten the hang of the work?”
“Yes, I have.”
Jiang Ye sat down, remaining silent, observing her.
Although Su Yueming’s expression was cold, a hint of nervousness could still be seen.
“Che Zhen told me about the army’s situation over this period. There are also some people you need to meet later. Shall we go through them one by one?”
After speaking, Su Yueming looked at Jiang Ye inquiringly.
Jiang Ye nodded.
“First, territorial expansion.” Su Yueming reached out and pressed a corner of the desk, and a holographic projection immediately appeared, showing a pale blue planet.
“Compared to when you left, our territory has expanded sixfold. A total of twenty continents have been completely occupied by us.”
On the pale blue planet, many continents were highlighted in a striking red, indicating occupied areas.
These landmasses were not contiguous but scattered like stars, evenly distributed across the planet.
“Why are they scattered?” Jiang Ye frowned.
“After the star base was built, the army purchased a batch of troop transport ships that can reach anywhere on the planet in half an hour at a low cost. Therefore, Che Zhen and the officers formulated a multi-point strategy.”
“The so-called multi-point strategy is to evenly establish several occupied zones across the entire planet, and from these zones as centers, expand outwards. This greatly accelerates the pace of territorial expansion.”
“Of the approximately 200,000 troops, 150,000 are overseas forces, currently expanding frontiers in various parts of the planet.”
“According to this plan, how long will it take to occupy the entire planet?”
“At the latest, one year.”
Jiang Ye nodded with satisfaction.
So the star base could also be used for military purposes, no wonder such a large area was expanded.
Finally, he would achieve complete occupation of Jiang Ye Star. His position as Commander would be truly earned.
As for the position of Planet Governor, it would either go to Jiang Sen Lin or Cen Ye Meng.
Jiang Ye leaned towards Cen Ye Meng becoming Planet Governor. He, as Commander, presented a stern image, while Cen Ye Meng was gentler and could make the populace feel more at ease.
“With accelerated expansion, we also have more mining areas. I will read out the reserves of the currently more important mining areas,” Su Yueming took out her phone.
“Twelve gold mining areas, with total reserves of approximately 3,620 tons.”
“Sixteen oil mining areas, with total reserves of 20 billion tons.”
“Twenty-six copper mining areas, with total reserves of 300 million tons.”
“One hundred and eighteen silver mining areas, with total reserves of 18,000 tons.”
“Two hundred and eighty-six manganese mining areas, with total reserves of 60 million tons.”
…
She read out over sixty types of minerals.
On the holographic projection of the planet, dense small gray dots appeared, each representing a mining area.
“Have all these mines been excavated?” Jiang Ye was in a good mood.
“Only 10% are currently being excavated,” Su Yueming said. “Considering long-term development, as well as limitations in funding and manpower, the current mines are all located near new cities.”
“How many cities are there in total now?”
“There are 30 cities in total, large and small, and many are still being named. Currently, the method used is online voting. Each city has a voting website, where everyone can submit their proposed city name. All citizens have one free vote per day. They can also pay to buy votes, with each vote costing one hundred yuan. There is no upper limit, and half of the vote money goes into your account, a quarter is used for city construction, and a quarter is allocated as military expenses.”
Su Yueming paused and added, “If you wish to personally name these cities, you can write the names to me, and I can operate them through the website backend to directly modify the ranking data.”
Jiang Ye thought to himself, “Good heavens, this is too shady!”
So many people spent money to vote, and he could just change it as he pleased!
“No need, online voting is quite good. We should respect the wishes of the citizens.”
Jiang Ye waved his hand indifferently.
“Let me introduce the progress of military facilities and military technology,” Su Yueming gestured, and the holographic projection changed.
“Currently, 80 military bases have been established globally, varying in size.”
“There are already two large-scale mechanical warrior factories producing robotic infantry.”
“These two factories have a daily output capacity of 1,000 mechanical infantry, but the cost is too high, with each mechanical soldier costing 100,000. Therefore, full-scale production has not been carried out.”
“After the metal ore from the various mining areas is smelted and sent to the mechanical warrior factories as raw materials, the cost can be reduced to around 10,000 yuan.”
“Consequently, the current output of mechanical infantry is affected by ore production, with approximately one hundred units produced per day.”
Jiang Ye interrupted her, “What is the performance of this type of mechanical infantry, and their intelligence?”
“Commander, please rest assured, the blueprints and control technology were provided by the Galactic Empire’s military,” Su Yueming said. “Mechanical infantry are superior to living soldiers in all aspects. They have better stamina, can run hundreds of kilometers without issues, can withstand high and low temperatures, and are more resistant to attacks. They also have better control over infantry weapons.”
“How are the mechanical soldiers commanded?” Jiang Ye was concerned about the most critical issue.
“They are like living people. Each mechanical soldier has its own intelligence, can speak and write, and observe the environment. Their intelligence level, converted to human standards, is approximately 95. Individual commanders have intelligence enhancement modules, which can raise it to 120.”
“Will they not betray?”
“There are underlying directives. Currently, this model has not experienced any betrayal,” Su Yueming said confidently. “Obeying superiors and protecting humanity are the inherent beliefs of these mechanical soldiers. They are deeply ingrained and will not change easily.” Da Feng Novel Network
“There are already 3,000 mechanical soldiers in the army. The overall commander is Shou Tie, who is waiting in the corridor. Would you like to meet him?”
“Have him come in.”
Su Yueming took out her phone and sent a message.
There were three polite knocks on the office door, and then it was pushed open forcefully! Da Feng Novel
A mechanical soldier, nearly two meters tall, strode to the desk and saluted Jiang Ye.
“Mechanical Army Commander Shou Tie, reporting to Commander!”
Jiang Ye’s eyes widened.
It was indeed a robot!
True to his name, he was tall and thin, made of steel, with some green data displayed on his chest. His eyes were made of glass and metal, and his pupils glowed with a blue light.
The overall design was quite sci-fi.
And it also exuded a sense of dominance!
