Ouyang Chen's question was a bit abrupt, but it was not difficult for Ronan.
He took stock on the spot: "Now, there are about 194 million people, including satellite cities."
Ouyang Chencai didn't care how Ronan got the result, and continued: "We can generally calculate a ratio: In order to promote the Lingbo Network project, we have established five companies successively for technology development, engineering construction and daily maintenance.
As a carrier, even excluding those with abilities, there are more than 2,000 employees, one for every 10,000 people in Xia City.
"Not counting the investment companies that share risks, the continuous construction, maintenance, and updating of projects require a large number of equipment suppliers... There are probably forty or fifty of these industrial companies in total, most of them are local, and they count between ten and twenty thousand people.
, it’s not an exaggeration. In other words, one in every thousand people in Xiacheng relies on our project for at least part of their livelihood.
"Lingbo Network has more than 100,000 nodes in Xiacheng. Each node actually has to pay some fees. In addition to energy consumption, there is also compensation for the uncertainty caused by the nodes. The scope of this impact is even wider, 100%.
One? One-tenth? Unknown."
Ronan reminded: "There is also the connection of the spiritual ocean..."
Ouyang Chen said "Yes": "Yes, everyone has a share in this - Lingbo Network is such a project. Although it is hidden beyond the scope of most people's awareness, it is related to almost everyone in Xia City. So.
I can understand the pressure and difficulty it brings back to me, as well as the convenience and influence it brings me."
Master Gao Tianshi said "hehe" twice, stuffed dried peaches into his mouth, and sarcastically said: "I think my family is quite influential, and it is quite convenient to do things..."
Ouyang Chen looked at Master Gao Tianshi, half-smiling: "You only care about President Gao's convenience, why don't you say that he secretly communicated with Nick, Northern Alliance Tiger, stabbed An Baizhan in the back, corrupted the middle and lower reaches of the river... these operations?
? Regardless of whether his actions were appropriate or not, the pressure and backlash caused were no less than mine."
Ronan blinked, it turned out that the guy from Hucheng had done a great job!
What Ouyang Chen said, some Ronan knew, and some didn't; similarly, Ronan also had some information in his heart that Ouyang Chen hadn't mentioned... and probably didn't understand either.
Taken together, it is necessary to adjust the evaluation of Gao Wenfu.
Ouyang Chen turned to Ronan again: "But whether it's Lingbo.com or the one in Hucheng, it seems to be nothing compared to your '10 billion' declaration."
The so-called "tens of billions" are exactly what Ronan made during a live broadcast on the smuggling freighter to the other world at the end of last month - it was actually a warning against "distortion out of control", but in the general perception of the other world
, this is Ronan’s “Declaration of Salvation,” or “Confessions of Ambition.”
Ouyang Chen also mentioned "ambition": "This may be the most ambitious project plan on the planet at present. If it is really implemented, the entire earth, tens of billions of people, their surrounding environment, their thinking, and of course
All your wealth and life are your realm of construction, and they will all change according to your will."
Ronan scratched his head: "Maybe, I hope there will be a good result."
At this stage, Ronan has no intention of being humble and excuses himself. He just tells the truth: "The slogan is very loud, but it's not very clear how to do it. At present, I am still more interested in Levi... Hmm
, that person can be regarded as a stumbling block to the project." Ouyang Chen smiled peacefully: "This is just the beginning. When you really start to do it, there will only be more stumbling blocks. What you will face in the future will be more difficult situations."
Master Gao Tian became a little impatient when he heard this: "I said Ouyang, this person is not you, nor is he Gao Wenfu. He is Luo Wusha. He must have his own way, and the situation is completely different. You should not be a teacher...
"
Before Ouyang Chen responded, Ronan smiled: "I really want to hear the president preach the scriptures and send treasures."
"I don't want to be a teacher, let alone teach scriptures and give treasures." Ouyang Chen spoke in a leisurely manner, "I am a researcher and an engineer; I would like to have an ideal state, but I also know that in most cases it is impossible to achieve it. Many times,
Working on a project means struggling in the quagmire, amidst the myriad of things, guarding the little bit of hope and keeping the original direction... See if there are any other factors that can add strength and give you a chance to breathe."
"Just say Emperor Wu!" This is Master Gao Tian.
"Referring to His Majesty the Emperor Wu?" Ronan also responded casually.
The two of them bumped into each other and couldn't help but find it funny.
Ouyang Chen also laughed: "So be it. The problem is that although Xia City is big, it is still limited to one area, and there is still room to move around. I can finally survive until Emperor Wu comes to help... But your tens of billions
'The project covers the whole world, and everyone is involved in the whirlpool. No one can escape. If things go wrong, we will look outward, and who can we count on?"
Master Gao Tian rolled his eyes: "You have said so much, but you can teach people a way to get things done."
"If I had my way, wouldn't the Lingbo Network be spread all over the world?"
"Well, I kind of understand. President, you are probably recommending this current working situation to me."
"No, I want you to be wary of this state, which is almost bound to come." Ouyang Chen also said, "I hope you can keep a normal mind and face it, and don't give others an opportunity to take advantage of you because of your temporary irritability.
Don't overdo it easily... When you are working on a project, you can lack room for maneuver, but after that, who knows what kind of situation we will face in the not-too-distant future?"
"How do you call it excessive?" Master Gao Tianshi is undoubtedly the best compliment today.
Ouyang Chen thought for a while: "Probably the level of a world war?"
"...Isn't this inevitable?" Master Gao Tian's matter-of-fact tone made it unclear whether this was a joke. And his statement was consistent with the common worries in the other world.
Ronan's focus is on Ouyang Chen's words "the near future", and it can be connected with the previous words "looking outward".
As an "insider" to advanced extraterrestrial civilizations such as the Tianyuan Empire, Ronan could understand what Ouyang Chen was worried about.
Excessive internal friction will damage the future of the earth.
This is an increasingly unfavorable confidence in the face of unpredictable deep space threats.
It may also be a scene that Li Wei, an extraterrestrial visitor, would like to see.
Although this kind of worry is somewhat unfounded and even self-defeating, Ouyang Chen has such a temperament and such a sense of responsibility.
If not for this, Xia Cheng would not be like this.
If it were another city, when Ronan was emerging, what would have greeted him would have been to be sent to the Apocalypse Laboratory in the Deep Blue World for slices...
Ronan and Ouyang Chen have different ways of thinking. He respects Ouyang Chen's opinion, but the specific approach is just like the "10 billion" project has never really been implemented. What to do next has to wait for him to be as prepared as possible, and
The decision will be made after more contact and testing with Levi.
Before that, he would not promise anything.
But at this moment, looking at Ouyang Chen's extraordinarily pure and clear eyes behind his plain glasses, Ronan still smiled: "I'm actually quite narrow-minded. What I'm thinking about right now is my personal feud with Li Wei, the world war and so on. It's quite...
Not reliable..."
"Private feud?" Gao Tianshi frowned, not understanding.
Ronan didn't explain. He was silent for two seconds and suddenly asked: "President, I actually care about your comment about 'constructive ability' just now."
"You must have 'construction power'. You may be the only one in the world who can implement the 'tens of billions' project..."
"I still have this kind of confidence." Ronan was not polite and smiled at Ouyang Chen's high praise, but then shook his head, "But according to your standards, President, my man who has worked hard for half his life ended up being
The grandfather whose project was out of control, and the father whose life and death are unknown, ended up on the same level as Yan Hong."
This statement came out of the blue, and both Ouyang Chen and Gao Tianshi were startled:
Is this considered...unreasonable?
Of course Ronan had his own ideas when he said this. He looked at Ouyang Chen: "President, I would like to ask one more question. Did my grandfather and father's research on format theory gain some attention in the other world back then... or even
Is it some recognition?”
This question was a bit childish and completely distorted the previous topic. But out of respect for Ronan, Ouyang Chen still thought about it before answering seriously:
"Probably not."
"No...should?"
Ouyang Chen glanced at Master Gao Tianshi, who lowered his head to eat dried peaches. At this time, he pretended not to see or hear. In response, Ouyang Chen just smiled:
"Your grandfather and father's work circle is mainly in Chuncheng. Qiu Wanshan is a boring gourd, and even the Chuncheng branch rarely communicates with the outside world. But because of this, Chuncheng is relatively the quietest, and many scientific research teams are happy to do so.
Go there... In addition, the aberrant ecology there is indeed very diverse, and it is safer than the Greater Golden Triangle."
Ouyang Chen's reason was a bit far-reaching. It was not so much a reason as a recollection: "When your grandfather was doing research in the 1960s and 1970s, I was just a young boy. I woke up a few years earlier than my peers.
, I am immersed in the fantasy of "undiscovered before" every day...
"At that time, it was true that the wilderness was chaotic, but in the urban society that was just taking shape, the barrier between the inner world and the secular world was actually higher and thicker than it is now.
"President Abner, Chairman Baihao, these first-generation extraordinary beings have long established laws and rules for the other world. At that time, they were not rated as 'conservative and rigid', but were rational and restrained.
synonym.
"They suppressed the group of ability users that had just developed at that time, and the signs of competing with the military and political forces of the secular world to seize power, leaving some extremely immature ability users who thought they were superior to others no room for their ambitions to flourish.
, so that a more deadly conflict would not break out, and it also gave everyone an opportunity to work together for development... Of course, later on, they cooperated deeply with the secular world, turned around and became the de facto consul, which is another story."
