Chapter 47 Crazy Expansion
Crazy times can lead to crazy plans.
The end of the First Five-Year Plan and the birth of one million people are just the beginning.
In the opening year of the Second Five-Year Plan, 10 million new babies will be born.
Housekeeping robot factory.
After Zhou Heng announced that he would give birth to 50 million newborns, the engineers in the factory collapsed on the spot.
“Director, we can’t do this job anymore!!”
The factory engineer holding the mission plan walked into the factory director's office with a broken face.
"Director, for this kind of task, even if all of us work 24 hours a day without eating or drinking for five years, we still won't be able to complete the planned task goals!!!"
In the office, the director of the domestic robot factory also looked melancholy.
"There is no way, this is a fatal order personally issued by Captain Zhou."
"But this quantity is too much. Our factory will not be able to produce so many qualified robots in ten years, let alone five years."
"You don't have to worry about this." The factory director reached out and took out a document from the drawer.
"The superiors have already thought of it, so Xiao Wu..."
Having said this, the factory director raised his head and carefully looked at Xiao Wu in front of him from top to bottom.
Xiao Wu, who was being stared at by the factory director, shivered all over and couldn't help but take a step back: "Factory, Director, what do you want to do?"
"Nothing, just to see if you can do it."
"What can be done?"
The factory director shook his head, and then handed the document in his hand to Xiao Wu: "You will understand after you look at this."
Xiao Wu, who was confused, took a glance at the document.
"Notice on establishing a domestic robot branch factory?"
Seeing this, Xiao Wu's eyes lit up: "Director, are we going to expand?"
The factory director nodded: "Yes, we are going to expand."
"Not just us, all factories and facilities must increase production and establish branch factories."
"So, we are going to have new people here? How many?!!" Xiao Wu was a little excited.
"As expected, I said it's impossible for our superiors to arrange tasks that we can't complete. Now it's better. Someone is here to help share the pressure."
"What you think is beautiful." Before Xiao Wu could get excited for too long, the factory director poured cold water on her.
"Our new civilization only has this amount of people in total. They were already allocated during the First Five-Year Plan. Where can the people come from and give them to us?"
"Ah this..."
The grinning corners of Xiao Wu's face froze instantly.
"But if there is no factory director, how can we build a branch factory?"
"So I just looked at you to see if you could do it."
"Is it possible?" Xiao Wu was stunned for a moment, and then his face changed: "You don't mean to say, let me build a branch factory."
"No, no, I can't do it, director."
"You know, factory director, I can be an engineer, but if you want me to be a factory director and manage others, then I can't do it. No, no, no." Xiao Wu shook his head like a rattle.
"Don't worry, you won't be asked to manage other people this time."
"It's not me?" Xiao Wu was shocked and breathed a sigh of relief: "That's fine, that's fine, it's fine if it's not me."
"You are happy too early."
As he said that, the factory director took out another stack of documents from the drawer.
"You don't need to manage anyone, because low-tech factories such as domestic robot production factories built in the future will fully adopt fully intelligent technology."
"The entire factory will be completely unmanned, from raw material processing to finished product assembly, and you."
The factory director handed one of the pile of documents to Xiao Wu.
"This is your appointment letter. You will serve as the director of the new factory and also the maintenance worker of the new factory."
Xiao Wu took the appointment letter blankly: "Just me?"
"It's just you."
"What about the others? I can't be transferred alone, director, at least find me a companion!!!" Xiao Wu panicked.
He understood that since the appointment letter had been issued, there was no room for maneuver, but since he couldn't decide whether to stay or go, he had to find a way to find a companion. He couldn't have no companion at all. Wouldn't it be too lonely?
The factory director shook his head: "You don't have to think about it, there is no one."
Before Xiao Wu could speak, the factory director shook off a stack of documents in his hand: "It's not just you, all of you are going to separate and form a new factory."
"Everyone?" Xiao Wu asked in disbelief with his eyes widened.
"Everyone." The factory director nodded affirmatively.
"This, this is too..."
Xiao Wu no longer knew what to say.
The factory director explained: "There is nothing we can do about it. There are 50 million newborns."
"In addition, you will no longer work in this underground city. In six months, you will go to Underground City No. 2 to establish a new branch factory."
"Underground City No. 2?" Xiao Wu was stunned: "Is it necessary to expand a new underground city now, so early?"
The factory director nodded: "If we don't expand early, the follow-up plan will not be implemented, so you are relatively relaxed. The ones who are really going to collapse are the people in the construction team."
Xiao Wu fully agreed with what the factory director said.
He has seen the workload of the construction team.
Everyone works in three shifts, 365 days a year, and all have food and accommodation in the command vehicle.
Everyone commanded massive amounts of nanorobots and worked overtime to build new dungeons.
It's not that they want to work so hard, but the construction task is too heavy.
Zhou Heng and other senior officials once planned to build a very large underground city, but later gave up for safety reasons.
Because once an accident occurs, the planning of a small underground city will at most result in the loss of a small number of personnel.
Although it is a bit cruel, it is still bearable for civilization.
But this is not possible in large dungeons. If an accident occurs in a large dungeon, it will be a huge loss to the entire civilization.
Not only the population, but also every industry has branches in multiple underground cities. Although the efficiency is reduced, the ability to resist risks is greatly improved.
So for 50 million newborns, Zhou Heng and the others planned to build at least fifty of them using Underground City No. 1 as a template.
As the plan progressed, everyone in the construction team went crazy.
Although he was unsure of himself, since it was the arrangement from above, Xiao Wu had no choice but to bite the bullet.
"Although you are all assigned to different underground cities, intercity transportation will be opened between all underground cities, which is very convenient."
"I'm not worried about this, I'm just worried that it won't be handled well. It's a factory. It's okay for me to be a technician, but as the factory director..." Although he has accepted it, Xiao Wu still lacks confidence.
"What are you afraid of?" The factory director stepped forward and patted Xiao Wu on the shoulder.
"But I am the director of the factory."
"No one knows everything from the beginning." The factory director comforted Xiao Wu: "I was just a technician before, and I had no experience at all, but I didn't bite the bullet yet."
"If there is anything you can't handle in the future, you can come to me."
In the end, Xiao Wu took his appointment letter and left.
Xiao Wu is not an exception.
The rapid expansion of the underground city has once again depleted human resources.
For this reason, people who were just technicians before were now forced to be promoted to the position of head of the factory.
Fortunately, with the foundation of the First Five-Year Plan, they now finally have the ability to build unmanned chemical plants.
Chapter completed!
