Concurrently with the construction of the massive space station, hundreds-of-meters-scale shipyards were also being built. These shipyards were intended for the construction of mining spacecraft. The pre-construction of these shipyards would allow for the simultaneous building of mining spacecraft, thereby increasing their numbers. This would not only accelerate mining but also ensure the speed of space station construction, creating a virtuous cycle.
Of course, mining on the fourth planet of the Dinosaur star system had not ceased. After constructing a few more mining spacecraft at the mining facility there, they began to build new bases.
Some of these structures even utilized the mine shafts dug out for construction.
Although this fourth planet was not a life-sustaining world, establishing bases there would allow for a deeper and broader research into non-living alien planets for Longguo.
The initial bases were primarily for scientific research and mining. Longguo did not immediately begin large-scale construction of residential areas, planning to do so only after obtaining more data from the fourth planet.
Mining spacecraft were continuously mining the asteroid belt between the fourth and fifth planets. Their numbers were also increasing, soon reaching one hundred mining spacecraft.
The harvesting speed of these mining spacecraft could soon match the construction needs of two massive space stations. They even had surplus ores to transport to the Dinosaur World for use.
Upon receiving these ores, the Dinosaur World's industrial construction accelerated further. After all, without material quantity limitations, they could directly utilize them in many areas.
Land reclamation, space construction, the promotion of cultivation, the promotion of magic, and various other endeavors required a large workforce. In this situation, Longguo's talent pool became insufficient, as all these fields, in addition to others, demanded significant human resources. In essence, with the commencement of space development, Longguo began to experience a shortage of personnel.
For the future development of Longguo, a meeting was convened.
During the meeting, after the moderator explained the current predicament, the attendees began to offer their suggestions.
"If we lack talent and manpower, then let's increase the number of machines."
"That's right. Our technology is already sufficient. I believe we can manufacture more intelligent machines to help us complete more tasks."
"Exactly. Just like mining in space, our mining machines can also be intelligent. Once they are intelligent, their efficiency will significantly improve."
"..."
A great deal of suggestions were made, all advocating for increased intelligence.
Half an hour later, the meeting room fell silent. Several individuals had not spoken since the meeting began. Among them were Chu Shi and Su Han. It was known that Chu Shi's and Su Han's opinions were the most crucial, with Chu Shi's being secondary and Su Han's being paramount.
One person asked, "Minister Su Han, Vice Minister Chu Shi, do you two have any suggestions?"
Chu Shi said, "From a data perspective, intelligence is naturally superior."
Following this, the attention of the attendees shifted to Su Han.
However, Su Han shook his head and replied, "We cannot rely entirely on intelligence to replace us. Mass unemployment is secondary; the primary concern is the other risks. For the manpower shortage, I believe we should solve it from the root cause: encouraging childbirth. To encourage childbirth and increase the population, we must implement various preferential policies, allowing young people to have children without worries. In addition to free education, we will provide subsidies for families with multiple children. For every two children born, Longguo will help raise one. For three children, Longguo will help raise two. Based on Longguo's development, material wealth will become increasingly abundant, and Longguo can fully afford this. Simultaneously, starting from primary school, space courses will be added, allowing every primary school student to experience space through extracurricular practice annually. Even the destinations for spring and autumn outings could be other planets. With such measures, Longguo will truly venture into the cosmos and become a major power within it."
After Su Han finished speaking, everyone present began to express their agreement. Although the effectiveness of Su Han's suggestions might not be immediate, they were certainly valid.
This meeting was one for suggestions, and no final decisions had been made yet.
As the meeting adjourned, Su Han knew that many people still harbored the idea of artificial intelligence. Su Han decided that he needed to make them fully understand the dangers of artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence could be used, but it should not be allowed to control all aspects of Longguo.
After the meeting concluded, Su Han summoned Ye Fan and said, "Go find a director."
Ye Fan asked, "Minister Su Han, what kind of director should I find?"
Su Han replied, "Find a director specializing in science fiction films!"
Ye Fan said, "Alright."
Thus, a few hours later, Ye Fan returned with five directors.
Ye Fan stated, "These three are among the top ten directors in Longguo's science fiction film genre."
Ye Fan's ability to find three of Longguo's top ten science fiction directors so quickly demonstrated his remarkable efficiency.
Upon seeing Su Han, the three directors immediately greeted him.
"Greetings, Minister Su Han."
"Hello, Minister Su Han!"
"Greetings, Sect Leader Su Han."
Su Han looked at the director who addressed him as Sect Leader and remarked, "I didn't expect you to have entered the cultivation world!"
The director smiled and replied, "I am not talented, but I have coincidentally cultivated to the Qi Refining stage. I can be considered a member of the cultivation world."
After the greetings, Su Han said, "Please introduce yourselves."
The three directors introduced themselves one by one.
"My name is Zhan Yangxu."
"My name is Ju Xiuneng."
"My name is Yang Wen."
Su Han was not very familiar with these directors' names and said, "Perhaps you could tell me about your most famous films."
The three directors then recounted their most renowned films.
After listening to their descriptions, Su Han said to Zhan Yangxu, "Zhan Yangxu, so you are the director who only focuses on traffic stars and ignores acting. You can leave now. There is nothing for you here."
Seeing that Su Han did not show him much favor, Zhan Yangxu reluctantly departed.
Turning to the remaining two directors, Su Han stated, "I have a very important matter to discuss with you."
Ju Xiuneng and Yang Wen quickly responded, "Minister Su Han, what is it that you require our assistance with?"
"Sect Leader Su Han, please give us your command!"
Su Han declared, "I have invited you here to direct a film."
"Filming a movie, that's our expertise."
"Sect Leader Su Han, I have recently been exploring films related to cultivation. May I ask what genre of film Minister Su Han wishes to produce this time?"
