"Professor, think tank director, please report on your work."

"Yes."

Lu Yuan spoke, Professor Eureka and Chen Wei, director of the energy think tank, did not dare to slack off, Professor Eureka stepped forward first:

"The space engineering program under the responsibility of the Scientific Research Department has almost been carried out, and according to your instructions CEO, we have invested a lot of resources and deployed enough standardized construction templates from the Engineering Department for project construction, and the progress of the space engineering program has been greatly accelerated......

"Now, the first batch of space engineering ships has been delivered."

"The relevant ship data has been uploaded to your personal database, and you can access it at any time."

Lu Yuan nodded, picked up a data tablet, and checked it casually.

The first batch of space ships was not a warship, but a group of engineering ships.

There are 100 of these engineering vessels, equipped with an improved version of standardized construction templates that can adapt to space operations, and can obtain resources from deep space after going to space, and build real space engineering facilities.

Their completion represents the completion of the delivery of the first phase of the company's space program.

When these engineering ships are lifted into outer space, the second phase of the space engineering program can officially begin.

The company's space engineering program is predetermined to have three phases, the most time-consuming of which is the first phase.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, and now the most time-consuming and difficult first stage has been completed, and the progress of the remaining two stages of the project is estimated to be a matter of pushing the boat down the river.

"The engineering ship will be handed over to the engineering department for use, the first engineering fleet of Gray Gu will be established, all engineering ships will be incorporated into the engineering fleet, and the command of the fleet will be handed over to Victor." Lu Yuan quickly made adjustments to the next plan:

"The second and third phases of the space engineering plan will be completed by the engineering department and the scientific research department."

Victor has no opinion on this, and neither does Professor Eureka.

"So, what about the Department of Energy?" Lu Yuan looked at Chen Wei, the director of the energy think tank he personally appointed, who reported without the slightest hesitation:

"Everything is normal, each energy management area can supply the company with sufficient energy at any time, and the company's current energy reserves are very sufficient, which can fully support the follow-up space engineering plan."

"But recently some of the subordinate employees who work in the Ministry of Energy have had some problems."

"Oh, what's the problem?"

Chen Wei, director of the energy think tank, uploaded a piece of data to Lu Yuan, which turned out to be because of the announcement of the "Soaring Agreement", which greatly touched many middle and low-level employees.

Only need to transmit consciousness, it can be transformed into mechanical life, and from now on, it only needs the maintenance of energy, and it can exist in the large collective of the company as a synthesizer, and dedicate its own insignificant power to the civilization behind it more perfectly and durably.

Such a beautiful agreement propaganda has made the concept of "mechanical ascension" deeply rooted in the minds of many low-level employees.

In the past year, the company has provided countless low-level employees with unimaginably rich material life, coupled with a series of ideological and moral guidance, which has greatly encouraged the enthusiasm of low-level employees to contribute to the collective.

The company allowed them, who were once tormented by poverty and suffering, to enjoy a good life that they could not even imagine, but the good times brought by this enjoyment did not last long.

After enjoying the so-called affluent life for a period of time, many people realize that all the material things they are enjoying are not created in a vacuum, everything is created and given to them by the company.

As we all know, there is no such thing as a free lunch, and there is certainly no such thing as a free breakfast or dinner.

But the favorable material living conditions given to them by the company are like unconditionally providing them for free, and at first there was nothing, and even some thick-skinned low-level employees only thought that this was just a show used by the company, or some means used to paralyze and buy them in the short term.

But with the passage of time, until all the low-level employees really realized that the company was indeed supporting them unconditionally, many low-level employees had great changes in their hearts.

While they were being bought, they were gradually adapting to the company's rule, and they were also gradually trying to adapt to the new era depicted by the company's future picture.

So, they followed the company's guidance and began to change themselves.

The company supports 20 billion low-level employees, and these 20 billion low-level employees still have their own jobs at the beginning, which can provide some simple labor.

But as more and more gray Gu intelligent machines were manufactured, those low-level employees gradually got rid of the heavy grassroots labor and were instead guided to learn some scientific concepts.

Originally, the company wanted to guide and educate or re-educate them or their descendants in the direction of scientific research talents.

After all, there is no shortage of grassroots labor force in the company, and there is no need for employees to become military units, so the only direction they can develop is to develop towards scientific research talents and contribute to the company's scientific research, which is stronger than anything else.

But this idea, while beautiful, is still too idealistic.

People's thinking and concepts will gradually solidify after they become adults, and as they grow older, it will even be difficult to accept new things.

Many of these low-level employees spend their entire lives, or even half of their lives, in the dim environment at the bottom, and it is very difficult to completely change their original way of thinking in a short period of time and make them become qualified scientific researchers.

Now the company is about to move forward at breakneck speed, entering the space age in a year or two.

Such a rapid development speed has made many low-level employees who want to contribute to the company look speechless.

It's just too fast.

So fast that they can't catch up with the company, the company has provided them with so many benefits and preferential treatment, so that they can get out of poverty and suffering, they should have repaid the company.

However, they are really about to fall out of time......

The time required to train a scientific researcher is at least ten years, and this ten years is enough time for the vast majority of newborns to replace the original population from the population base.

Many of the older low-level employees realized that they might not have time to see their dedication to the company in scientific research, and they would turn into a handful of loess and leave the world.

Those unwilling low-level employees can only seek help from the company, hoping that the company can continue to contribute to the company before their short and busy life comes to an end.

All they could offer was a pitiful amount of labor, but even then they were not willing to let their last years pass in the process of useless waiting for death.

The company also acceded to their request.

After the establishment of the Ministry of Energy, the company set up many unpretentious jobs in the Ministry of Energy, which did not require much labor at all, similar to the easy jobs of the janitor, and arranged these low-level employees who were eager to prove their worth.

Not only in the energy sector, but also in other sectors, the company has arranged many similar jobs that are filled but do not take up much of the resource-consuming jobs.

The loyalty of this part of the bottom employees to the company is undoubted, and the interests of them and their descendants have been bound to the company's collective, and have enough dedication, so for this part of the employees, the company is also willing to tolerate and treat them gently, to provide them with the greatest convenience and preferential treatment.

Facts have also proved that the company's behavior is not doing useless work.

When the existence of the "Soaring Agreement" was publicly announced to all employees, nearly 5 billion low-level employees immediately submitted an application to the company to sign the agreement.

The backlash triggered by such public opinion has taken those company executives who have personal opinions about some of the contents of the "ascension agreement" by surprise.

Among the five billion low-level employees, there is no one who is most willing to sign the "Soaring Agreement" than those who work in the Ministry of Energy.

So much so that Chen Wei, the head of the energy think tank, had to report the situation to Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan also had to pay attention to the public opinion of these five billion people.

The "Ascension Agreement" was originally a gift he had prepared for the already selfish high-level self-interested executives, with the aim of quickly and harmlessly disposing of some people and further strengthening his grip on the company's top management.

But at present, the initiative of the five billion people to apply makes Lu Yuan have to be cautious, considering whether the original arrangement plan is a bit too superficial.

At the current rate of population integration in the Dawn system, it would take as much time and resources as it would take to integrate all five billion people into synths of mechanical life.

It is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and is not desirable at this time.

Originally, Lu Yuan only planned to arrange for the integration of 100 million synthetic population, especially to replace all the high-level members of the company with synthetic people, in order to ensure their loyalty and work efficiency in the future.

100 million synthetic population is enough to support the perfect implementation of the company's future space projects.

That's right, the fundamental purpose of Lu Yuan's "Synthetic Age Project" at this stage is to serve the space engineering program.

Compared with those ordinary humans with weak bodies, Lu Yuan prefers to use synthetic humans with independent consciousness and high intelligence to adapt to the space environment to explore deep space.

In this way, it can create a space age that belongs to the Gray Gu Company faster and more efficiently, and realize the company's strategic goal of realizing the rise of the stars within one or two years.

At present, many of Lu Yuan's plans and attempts have been successfully realized, and even far exceeded the original expectations.
