This recruitnt season in Recursive City, Zhou Yi brought in five new employees.
Returning to Sand Port, he made arrangents for them.
As expected, the Leiwo Team was assigned to the Agriculture Departnt, where they would continue to expand and solidify the company's cultivated land and farms with the Agricultural Machinery Brothers.
Upon seeing the three powerful agricultural machines, the Minister of Agriculture Zheng Tao instantly felt ten years younger.
"Great, great, all capable professionals with special skills."
"Winter wheat harvested in sumr, so Grain God could show its power."
"We used to waste a lot of soybeans in our soybean fields used for nitrogen fixation and crop rotation; the planting and harvesting led to huge losses. Now, with Jin Gang, an expert in soybean agriculture, the waste will be greatly reduced."
"Ou Bao is an all-rounder in agricultural machinery, this is truly wonderful!"
The old man stroked his beard and smiled.
"Including the Yanmar responsible for vegetables, the company's agricultural developnt and output this year will be much stronger than last year."
"The chairman personally took action, and indeed success follows!"
...
Zhou Yi made another trip to the Mushroom Forest and found Sun Chonglai in an office in a Mushroom House there.
Today, the Bone Man Lord wore frog-eye glasses, dressed in a white shirt paired with a bright blue suit and a checkered tie, and slippers on his feet, retaining his unique style.
"Chairman, you're here."
Sun Chonglai rubbed his hands and said, "I heard you went to Recursive City, did you bring so helpers for our Mushroom Forest?"
"You're well-inford."
Zhou Yi chuckled, then introduced the chanical life form next to him: "This is Diamond, a 200-year-experienced electrochanical teacher, adept at teaching history and language."
"It can help you provide so basic education for the Black Hand Mushrooms. They will eventually evolve into White Smoke Mushrooms, so education should start from their childhood."
"Training more knowledgeable Black Hand Mushrooms will bring you more help."
The Bone Man paused, then thoughtfully replied: "You are right, the children of the Mushroom Forest are naturally playful, and although I have so experience, it's still a simple thod of discipline that I figured out on my own."
"Having a professional teacher to instruct them is what will mold them into truly useful talents. When they grow into White Smoke Mushrooms in the future, they will also know what to do and what not to do."
Zhou Yi continued: "Actually, I have another idea. The company currently lacks a real school, a lacking internal systematized training chanism. So far, the most successful model is the Samurai Crab Apartnt."
"So I hope to pilot the project in the Mushroom Forest."
"If the effect here is good, we could use the Mushroom Forest's successful experience to open a school in the future, training professionals needed in various departnts."
"For selecting talents and enhancing employees' abilities, this is of great significance."
Sun Chonglai instantly got the ssage: "Please rest assured, Chairman, I will coordinate well with Teacher Diamond and conduct the educational trials here."
Zhou Yi looked towards the old speaker next to him: "Diamond, do you have anything to say?"
The chanical teacher said: "I will do my utmost, without reservation, to impart the knowledge I hold to the students."
"However, allow to nag one more ti. Please Chairman provide sufficient teaching supplies, equip the students with enhanced controllers, and storage devices capable of holding vast amounts of information."
Zhou Yi promised on the spot: "No problem, you just tally it up and report the numbers to Gong Zheng's side. The company will reimburse for these educational devices."
"Thank you very much for your support. You value education, which is a cause that will have its rits in the future; you will receive excellent returns."
Joy was palpable in Diamond's voice.
Then it began discussing education for the Black Hand Mushrooms with Sun Chonglai.
...
Next, Zhou Yi went to the Guangtai Dam.
Near Jade City, there were two Mushroom Houses towering over 15 ters, connected by two short bridges made of planks and ropes, creating a makeshift H-shaped office complex.
Outside on the ground, there was a large wooden sign painted with the company's samurai crab logo.
Yuan Tong was outside, drinking a bowl of mushroom soup.
"Chairman!"
"Old Yuan."
Zhou Yi pointed to the air purifier next to him: "This is Max, an expert in 'Air Purification', and has been involved in the 'Dead Sea Transformation Project', with deep research into the hazes in the Dead Sea..."
"He is a talented individual I found in Recursive City, an experienced professional, and now he's in your hands."
Max said: "Please give your guidance."
Yuan Tong was overjoyed: "Finally, we got a chanical life form to help out at the dam! Wonderful, sotis it's hard for to keep up all alone!"
Curiously, he looked towards the new colleague, not even one ter tall, with his cybernetic eye focusing: "Max, the technical content of the Guangtai Dam itself isn't high, we're still using simple tools for collection and filtering. It may not be the best use of your abilities... But in the future, it will definitely develop slowly, and we will need your help and wisdom to gradually upgrade our equipnt and the collection process."
"You flatter ; I'm just an ordinary professional."
Max's easygoing nature made him seem approachable.
Yuan Tong rubbed his hands: "Speaking of the air issue, workers at the dam windows have been coughing. After the Desperate Machine was improved, the situation got much better. However, as is customary, workers who collect Light Soot labor for extended periods, and it's common for so of them to develop lung diseases, which are considered occupational illnesses."
"Is there a way to resolve the air quality issue in our work environnt?"
Max said: "The simplest and most effective thod is to wear filtration devices, such as masks."
"Another long-term viable approach is afforestation, as trees and vegetation have the ability to trap and absorb dust, as well as toxic and harmful substances and particles... I have checked the local air quality, and the Dead Sea area near the Mushroom Forest has a significantly lower smog concentration than here, which shows that native mushrooms can also effectively block the Death Light and haze."
"If possible, please increase the planting of giant mushrooms here, and also plant more non-toxic mushrooms and easy-to-grow grasses. They can effectively reduce the risk of disease for the workers and contribute to an improvent in air quality."
"I will also constantly monitor the particulate matter concentration in the work area to ensure that the air quality index remains above level two."
When it ca to its area of expertise, it was very confident.
Yuan Tong took out a notebook and started to jot down notes quickly as he continued to converse.
"Masks are no issue; we can purchase them in bulk and make them mandatory during work. What about increasing the planting of mushrooms and trees above the dam?"
"That's possible."
"What about sprinkling water?"
"Absolutely not. Spraying water will increase air humidity. High atmospheric humidity can promote the transformation of gaseous pollutants into particles, from photochemical reactions to liquid phase reactions... It could actually worsen the pollution."
"I see, no wonder previous water sprinkling was ineffective and coughing and breathing issues beca more severe."
Seeing them discuss so passionately and selflessly, Zhou Yi quietly withdrew.
...
In the second month of spring, news ca from Kunming Station.
"The timing is right, Mr. Zhou, I need you to take a trip to Yalong Bay to et the Olympic Sports Center."
The 'timing' it referred to ant that the surrounding area of the destination, the Dead Sea, was relatively calm at the mont, and the rapids were in a weak cycle. Most of the ti, that area is fraught with rapids and high-pressure zones, making it difficult to find a suitable path to reach it.
Thus, Zhou Yi arranged company affairs and set sail from Jade City with Red Kestrel and Jiong Hecang to the target location during the dead of night.
Originally, he wanted Li Mo and Heavenly Dog from the cave storage to stay at the company to avoid danger.
However, Li Mo said: "Chairman, if we leave Yalong Bay, we might encounter the Golden-faced Guard."
"We will follow you and definitely not cause you any trouble. We won't co out unless you order us to. If there is a chance, we can also help you run errands."
Zhou Yi decided to bring them along.
The Olympic Sports Center is located on East Pole Island to the east of the Dead Sea. The island is a large one, with four cities and seven towns in the past, and the population peak once reached 200,000.
East Pole Island was originally the territory of the Heavenly Country Governor, the Dongji Duke.
The straight-line distance from the Sand Port Region to East Pole Island is about 2400 kiloters.
To sail through the Dead Sea, it's necessary to avoid various disaster areas along the way. With Yalong Bay's top speed of 15 kiloters per hour, it is estimated to take 11 days to reach the destination.
Using the ti during the journey, Zhou Yi learned about the specific details via satellite from Kunming Station.
"Mr. Zhou, information on East Pole Island is strictly controlled and blocked by the Heavenly Kingdom; the outside world only knows about a mad killing at the Olympic Sports Center, but not the reasons behind it."
"As far as history is traceable, the Olympic Sports Center existed there even before the Dongji Duke erged. However, before any rulers, East Pole Island did not experience mass killings."
"Later the Dongji Duke ruled the place, then it was annexed by the Heavenly Kingdom and beca a Heavenly Country Governor. From then on, advanced interference devices were installed on the island, and satellites could only obtain a ss of scrambled data."
"In the 12th year of Dongji Duke's tenure as governor, a massacre occurred on East Pole Island."
"This part is history that can be verified."
"What follows is what isn't known to the public."
Kunming paused.
"The actual number of deaths within the Olympic Sports Center is not 17,000, but at least 35,000."
"The majority of these dead were Mutants."
"Mutants were continuously sent to the Olympic Sports Center, using its 'Competition' capability to pit Mutants against each other in fight to the death. Only the victors could survive."
"The losers died, while the winners received enhancent and catalysis from the Olympic Sports Center, evolving at a remarkably rapid pace."
"Relying on the Olympic Sports Center, a large number of E-level Mutants evolved into C-level, even B-level through brutal death competitions in just a few years."
"The cost was the death of a large number of the losers."
Zhou Yi frowned: "The entire East Pole Island only had a population of 200,000; the Mutants who died in the competitions amounted to 35,000…"
"Does this an that East Pole Island was specially designed for cultivating Mutants?"
"Yes, Mr. Zhou."
Kunming Station continued: "That's why East Pole Island was subject to extrely strict and intense blockades. The local inhabitants were used to transform into Mutants and then selected through enhancent at the Olympic Sports Center."
"However, this process encountered an unexpected situation in the 12th year."
"That year, two Skywalkers were born in the Olympic Sports Center."
"That's why the situation on East Pole Island spiraled out of control."
