The holographic simulation equipment management department, referred to as the Management Department, was successfully established under the promotion of Chen Lin and his core figures inside are actually the staff who previously operated and maintained these holographic simulation devices, but before they were generally affiliated with various departments and were temporarily recruited here to be responsible for this kind of work.
At this time, the new department was established, and this group of people finally got new departmental titles.
A large number of people have also benefited from this, with their wages, salaries and welfare benefits all increased simultaneously.
Of course, this group of people have greater responsibilities.
Chen Lin did not choose to parachute in or use a group of people who had no experience with the new equipment as managers. After he and his deputy made a preliminary list, they held several rounds of discussions at the conference before finally finalizing the list of personnel.
The deputy first had individual conversations with those selected people. After hearing the news, the selected people were quite excited, and many of them were so excited that they still had smiles on their faces today.
During the meeting, Chen Lin gave these people some new encouragement. One of the main core points he put forward was that the reason why Anyun Base was able to develop before was because it grasped the core, and this core was the new simulation equipment that the management department was responsible for!
The reason why Anyun Base was able to gain a foothold on the Taka Continent was because Chen Lin had secured the approval for the project of holographic simulation equipment. At that time, the new simulation equipment relied on a combination of Red Stone and Magic Stone. Chen Lin invested heavily in related research, and the association supported him with a large number of manpower. It took a long time to come up with the prototype of the equipment.
As a result, plans could not keep up with changes. The holographic simulation equipment here had just been put on track, and a large number of personnel were ready to be trained on the Red Stone equipment. As a result, the Night Alliance at Base No. 6 suddenly broke the news about the AI Ellie.
The civilization represented by Ellie brought more advanced purely technological holographic simulation equipment to the human beings at that time. This equipment directly eliminated the original red stone simulation equipment developed by human beings themselves. The more than one billion yuan that Chen Lin had invested in it was instantly wasted.
However, he was not discouraged. Most of the more than one billion funds were used for testing and simulation of various equipment. Although the money was spent, it somehow remained in the entire Anyun base and in the association.
A large number of staff members were not disbanded because they had gained relevant work experience from their previous work. Therefore, after the new equipment was connected, this group of experienced staff members were well accommodated in the existing new work.
Nothing went wrong.
The only thing that was hurt in the whole incident was Chen Lin's wallet - but because Chen Lin's money was provided by the association, he didn't feel too bad about it.
After the meeting, the deputy specifically left behind a few people who were in charge of the main responsibilities of the department. Chen Lin had no intention of leaving. He just sat in his seat and looked at the information in front of him slowly.
The deputy first congratulated the people in front of him at the same time. Although this step had just been done, leaving them alone to congratulate him at this time had a different meaning.
"The reason why you guys are left alone is actually because Anyun Base has some special expectations for you."
The deputy director looked at Chen Lin in front of him, and then said to everyone: "Let's welcome Mr. Chen Lin, the director of Anyun Base, to speak."
Applause suddenly broke out. Chen Lin put down the information in his hand, smiled and nodded slightly to everyone, and the applause immediately quieted down.
There were only five people left. After Chen Lin took a quick look, he spoke slowly, "The association doesn't actually manage much of the personnel transfers at the major bases. Except for the chief and deputy chiefs, who need to be assigned individually, the rest is basically delegated to the main managers of the major bases to assign on their own. This is a brand new change to the association's rules on Earth, and it is equivalent to giving the heads of the major bases a lot of power."
"The positions of the five of you are very clear. You can take up your posts directly after you return. Anyun Base will gradually provide you with all the things you need in the future. When you leave this conference room, you will become middle and senior management of Anyun Base. I also hope that you can change your mindset in time to avoid mistakes in your work."
Several people nodded quickly, and Chen Lin continued calmly: "The original idea of setting up this department was because of the work content. It is obviously unrealistic to hand over all the content to us for processing, so the main work of this item will be delegated to you in the future."
“As the saying goes, with great power comes great responsibility.”
"We didn't set up a department to let you live comfortably in it. Anyun Base is also responsible for training a large number of cutting-edge scientific research talents, starship pilots, and workers in various professional fields for the association. Other departments can be shut down, but you can't."
Chen Lin said to the group, "If the equipment breaks down, just repair it. If it can't be used, just replace it. I have already contacted the outpost base. The headquarters laboratory will set up a branch here. At that time, they will send personnel to join the management department. You can contact them when you go back."
Several people said that they knew it well. They were generally a few years older than Chen Lin, but no one dared to underestimate the young man in front of them. He was able to sit firmly in the position of the general manager of Anyun Base for several years not just because of nepotism. They all knew the whole process of how Anyun Base rose to prominence.
Although Chen Lin looks smiling all day long, he actually has enormous power and many things are very easy for him to handle.
The chief managers of other bases may not have the same ability as him!
"Based on the reported expenses for the previous year and a half, the total maintenance and repair costs of our holographic simulation equipment project team are around 7000 million per year. This number is actually quite good. After all, according to previous speculation, this number would exceed million yuan... but that would be too high."
Chen Lin slowly spoke to the people in front of him, "Keep this number. You don't need me to help you figure out how to do it, right? You are all people who understand the relevant content."
"I will approve the total budget for the next year for you. It will be calculated based on the total expenses of the previous year. Of course, the number will be higher, so the association finally agreed to a total budget of 8500 million per year."
After he finished speaking, he laughed at the people in front of him as if he was making fun of himself: "The association jumped out now and said that they would review it. They didn't say anything when I spent money before, but now they have to make a presence felt."
No one dared to laugh, they just smiled shyly at Chen Lin's attitude.
"Okay, no more nonsense."
Chen Lin was not a person who liked to speak at length. He spoke to the people in front of him, "After you go back, just adapt to your respective preparations. Your department manages more than 300 regular employees and more than 1400 contract employees. The task is arduous. I hope you can run the department well after you go back." Several people stood up one after another, and Chen Lin also stood up. When they left, he and his deputy shook hands with these people one by one. After Chen Lin personally sent them out of the meeting room, he comfortably fell back on the chair. The deputy next to him saw off his posture and immediately understood that Chen Lin was tired at this time.
"General Manager, this document still needs your signature."
The deputy handed over a document. Chen Lin stood up and took a look at the name of the document. It was about the expansion of Anyun Base.
“Why is it expanding again?”
As Chen Lin spoke, he flipped through the file. He had seen the project content before. The current scale of Anyun Base could easily accommodate 30,000 people, but due to a variety of reasons, the Anyun Base was now very crowded, especially for the growing training centers and scientific research departments, which were big consumers of space.
In fact, Chen Lin had proposed the expansion several months ago. Unfortunately, due to a lot of things going on at the time, although the expansion project was in favor of the majority, the Anyun base did not have too many resources to use on it, and in the end the proposal had to be shelved temporarily.
The deputy brought it up again now because the association's work has come to a temporary halt, the exploration of the misty world is progressing steadily, and there are no major problems with other matters.
He helped Chen Lin to revise the proposal, and invited architectural experts to carefully consider and design the expansion content, and finally wrote it into the document.
After reading it, Chen Lin smiled: "The design is much more artistic than mine. The Anyun base is a bit small at present and needs to be expanded."
"The original area should be considered as the inner city, and the newly expanded area should be designed as the outer city. When the time comes, it will be designed according to the specifications of the inner ring, second ring, third ring, and fourth ring."
The deputy smiled and nodded: "We are currently building the urban area outside the second ring road. According to the early plan, we still need to build city walls and other things, but I think those things may hinder the development of our base city too much..."
Chen Lin listened to his deputy's words patiently and said to him, "You may have been in Taka Continent for too short a time, so you don't know what the location of Anyun Base represents."
He knocked on the table, and soon an electronic display window popped up on the desktop. Chen Lin simply wrote a few words in it, and the holographic projection immediately covered the entire conference room.
"In fact, there are still many cases of wild animals attacking humans at the Anyun base."
"Our base's current ability to treat wounds caused by wild animal attacks is basically among the best among several bases."
Chen Lin knocked on the table again, and a large number of scenes of wild beast attacks immediately appeared in front of the two of them. Most of the scenes were bloody and bloody. The staff on the scene had anxious faces, and the soldiers in power armor were dealing with the situation...
"This... seems a little incredible."
The deputy frowned at Chen Lin and said, "Logically speaking, the creatures on the Taka continent should be afraid of us. We now have such powerful weapons and equipment..."
"But this is a different world, not Earth."
Chen Lin showed a helpless expression. "These native wild animals on the Taka continent have never encountered higher intelligent creatures, so their impression of humans is nothing more than larger prey. Most of these pictures are what the exploration team encountered in the early stages. Those wild animals have high IQs, and daily sneak attacks will still cause a lot of impact."
"The expansion of the city itself is very necessary, but according to the original design plan, we also need to build a city wall at the outermost edge of the Anyun base expansion, which in itself is a protection for the association members."
Chen Lin said to his deputy, "You know, although our soldiers are very fierce, there are still a lot of ordinary people in the base who are powerless, especially the scientific researchers. If a similar situation happens again, it will not only be embarrassing for us, but the impact will be huge."
“Can we set up sentries at the base, or install AI defenses, or distribute non-lethal weapons to personnel?”
"After all, building a city wall is somewhat...retro."
The deputy thought for a moment and spoke out loud. Chen Lin immediately laughed: "You haven't seen those walls before, have you? This is not a brick design like the Great Wall of our ancestors on Earth. It is a real modular steel wall. After installation, personnel can patrol on it at night. It is equipped with everything you mentioned."
"Besides, we won't build new ones. We can just tear down the walls of the inner and second ring roads and move them to the newly expanded area. We can just add more when the time comes."
The deputy suddenly realized that he had been averse to this type of design from the beginning and had indeed not conducted any relevant investigation into it. Fortunately, Chen Lin gave an explanation.
Currently, the steel production in the association's home country is in an overflow state. The serious overcapacity of steel production has been a problem for many years. Now that the new world of Origin Star has been opened up, the steel capacity has exploded - the association itself has a large business, and too many places require steel and various metals.
After hearing the explanation, the deputy really didn't say anything more. He just said to Chen Lin: "Then, shall we start the expansion work next?"
"I still need to read the documents carefully. Please help me find those people from the construction department."
The deputy nodded slightly, and he stood up and was about to leave, but Chen Lin suddenly stopped him: "I remember you said before that our exploration team discovered a special mineral vein, right?"
The deputy stopped and thought for a moment before nodding at Chen Lin: "The mineral composition is different from what we know. The exploration team just set up new coordinates and signal transmission devices there and returned. The report was submitted a week ago."
Chen Lin touched his chin and nodded, "I'm free recently, so I can find someone to go and see what's going on." (End of this chapter)
