Chapter 61:, Let Them Co
Wu Jiarong was a treasure.
She could make Gu Hang’s black box technology explainable—actually, the black box technologies he had extracted were also low-end goods. It wasn’t inconceivable for a technical officer or even a chanic to co up with such things.
Furthermore, she could bring more technological products to Gu Hang’s command, besides the black box technologies.
Climbing the technological tree couldn’t rely solely on black technology from the system.
Of course, the so-called technological tree wasn’t just military technology.
Further developnt of civilian industrial factory technology was also necessary.
Wu Jiarong wasn’t capable of remodeling the production lines of alloy plastic steel made by the black box technology that was already very mature. However, technologies such as the thermocline electric generator sets, textile machines in textile factories, cent plants, brick factories… many of which were imported from other places on Rage Owl Star, still had a lot of room for improvent in her eyes.
However, Wu Jiarong wasn’t omnipotent. If all these research and developnt tasks were scheduled, her workload for a long ti to co would be fully packed.
This female technician also felt quite regretful, as if she couldn’t wait to help the governor complete the technological upgrade of the entire camp in a very short ti.
This made Gu Hang sigh in his heart. Indeed, to bring out their value, humans’ initiative was the most important. rely relying on duties or enslavent resulted in weak production efficiency and capacity. Once people truly wanted to do sothing, viewing it as a way to realize their own value and goals, they tended to unleash trendous energy.
This energy was the core that changed the world.
And after Wu Jiarong’s allegiance and her genuinely positive attitude, new changes appeared on Gu Hang’s system panel.
While checking the “Hero” interface, he found Wu Jiarong’s na among the activatable heroes.
This was within his expectations.
After figuring out that the “Hero” feature would present new activation options as people grew, and after talking with Wu Jiarong and observing her subsequent performances, Gu Hang was able to guess that this person definitely had potential.
In fact, she herself was a talented person. Ten years ago, when she was younger, she was already able to challenge the position of a chanic. At just over twenty years old, a female technician without any background reaching that stage was impossible without hard work and talent.
If things had gone smoothly, her becoming a main pastor in her lifeti would have been wildly optimistic, but becoming a technical priest or even an Engine Spirit Priest wouldn’t be a problem. It’s just that her life hadn’t gone smoothly, which ant she couldn’t develop to such an extre and wasted ten years on the Quintet.
Now, she had found a different path with Gu Hang, gaining further opportunities—though unorthodox, they were enough to invigorate her to strive for upward movent.
It was normal for such a person to be recognized by the system as having potential.
Gu Hang carelessly allocated the remaining ten points of grace to Wu Jiarong.
[Activated Hero: Wu Jiarong (N)]
[Level: lv2]
[Physique 6, Spirituality 8, Command 5, Politics 3, Technology 11]
[Trait:]
[Once a Technical Genius: She was once a technical genius, but ti has worn down her talent. She may continue to sink, or she could rise again and recover her lost spirituality. Technology 1]
…
The just-activated Wu Jiarong was at LV2.
Presumably, this was because her past accumulation as a technical officer made her recognized by the system as a ‘hero’ of level 2. As for the activation cost, it was still a fixed 10 points. It was unknown if activating higher-level individuals as ‘heroes’ would require more grace points.
One difference was that, compared to Osenia, Wu Jiarong had an additional type of attribute point: Technology.
As the na suggested, it should represent her level of technical expertise.
This guy has a political score of just 3, which is a big cut below normal, no wonder he couldn’t make it in a place full of infighting like the Sect of chanics, and it’s no surprise that he was so devoid of guile when he directly inquired about the secret factory’s information, without knowing how to conceal his anxiety.
But it doesn’t matter, Gu Hang didn’t turn her into a hero to have her deal with political work. As long as her technical score is sufficient and she can develop and improve more technologies for him, that’s all that counts.
After activating Wu Jiarong, Gu Hang now has only 8 grace points left.
Looking at Yan Fangxu and Perbov who still await activation in the hero interface…
Next ti for sure!
…
With part of the workload from the research side lifted from his mind, Gu Hang’s attention shifted back to the construction of the camp’s productive forces.
And he found that Osenia was doing quite well.
In a camp with a population nearing ten thousand, with dozens to hundreds of people being added daily, manpower lacking everywhere, and all affairs needing attention, she was still able to arrange matters quite efficiently.
Very good indeed.
Pointing to that girl as a hero, letting her shoulder a greater burden, he certainly hadn’t made the wrong choice.
Zhang Chao didn’t seem to have much ambition; now with Osenia’s help, Gu Hang specifically observed the lad and found that rather than be upset about Osenia sharing power, he seed happier with the reduced workload.
Gu Hang didn’t know whether to be relieved that no signs of infighting had erged among his subordinates, or to lant that his lackey couldn’t be propped up against a wall.
But all in all, Gu Hang was quite satisfied.
With Osenia’s help, he could set aside many concerns, freeing up ti to do other things instead of spending so much of it on political affairs as he had before.
The energy he saved, he could further invest in his next strategy, which was Revival City.
With the help of Alliance Chairman Hodgson, Gu Hang felt that the plan he had previously devised to control the whole of Revival City could accelerate a bit.
But as he was anding his plans, he received a communication request from Yelisia Fu Fana.
The female captain conveyed to him a ssage that sowhat surprised him:
“Gu Hang, do you know the Phoenix Battle Group?”
Upon hearing this question, Gu Hang’s first reaction was that the “event” he had previously activated had already begun?
How long had it been? The battle group had arrived so quickly.
As for Yelisia’s question, Gu Hang thought he should answer cautiously.
Saying he knew or didn’t know, both seed not quite right.
So he counter-asked, “Colonel Yelisia, do you know what’s going on with the Phoenix Battle Group?”
Yelisia didn’t indulge in roundabout speculations; after a mont of contemplation and showing hesitation, she still gave Gu Hang a word of caution:
“Their situation… is complicated.” Yelisia spoke in vague terms, but the gist was conveyed, “A hundred years ago, they were sentenced to a penitent expedition; they were supposed to be extinct, not survive. Now they have held on, and so people will have headaches because of that. You… I won’t give you any advice, just treat it with caution.”
She paused, then continued, “They request to land on the planet’s surface and want to see you. I shouldn’t obstruct them, but if you need , I can try.”
After weighing his options, Gu Hang still said, “No need, let them co.”
