Omnic Crisis in Super God's Beginning

Chapter 66 Energy Upgrade
Establish the Ministry of Energy, establish an omnibus supervision agency and a complete think tank management system for this new department, and then fill the department with ministers, deputy ministers and other personnel for real-time management.

Finally, just like the chief engineer and chief scientist positions established by the Engineering Department and the Scientific Research Department, an energy think tank director position will be established to facilitate Lu Yuan to directly control the entire energy department.

Lu Yuan has already decided on the candidate for the head of the energy think tank. He only needs to select from those people in the company who can be most unconditionally loyal to him.

After some discussions with Professor Eureka, Lu Yuan decided to add 10 energy management zones first to supply the company's energy needs for all aspects of development in the next one or two years.

Of course, these 10 energy management zones are naturally built underground.

After the development plan is finalized, implementation begins.

The entire El Star has become extremely busy.

First of all, among the many divisions originally established in various continents, the company's standardized construction templates began to penetrate deep underground, and new divisions were developed one after another thousands of meters underground.

In less than a year, 40 underground resource extraction zones, 20 underground industrial foundry zones, and 10 underground energy management zones were completed and delivered.

Nearly half a month later, these divisions were all put into use just like the above-ground divisions.

Massive amounts of underground minerals are mined by the company's large-scale machinery and equipment, and then processed by the Gray Goo omnics and sent to factories for refining and processing, and finally cast into extremely strong alloys.

Those alloys were then sent to the Omnic Manufacturing Factory to produce massive amounts of Gray Goo Omnics. They were also put into various construction projects and quickly utilized.

At the same time, the application of anti-matter energy technology in underground energy division has also injected fresh blood of the times into the busyness of the entire planet.

Far exceeding the energy usage of the old era, the development of various industries within the company has been completely upgraded, and all departments have enjoyed the benefits of the times brought by this technological upgrade.

The engineering department has gained the most. Whether it is the expansion of underground divisions or the application of anti-matter energy technology, the engineering capabilities of the entire department have been greatly improved.

Since the Engineering Department now controls the engineering construction of the entire planet, it stands to reason that they have become the department with the most power and status among the many departments in the company, transcending many departments.

This naturally caused some dissatisfaction from other departments, but since the engineering department is now the executor of many of the company's plans and the main force in the development of civilization, no matter how dissatisfied other departments are, they can only bear it silently.

This is the case with organic life with active thoughts. As soon as it becomes comfortable, even if it is enjoying the many benefits brought by vested interests, over time, other thoughts will inevitably arise.

Just over a year after the company's war to unify the planet ended, there was a vague sign of neglect at the top of many departments of Gray Goo Company.

If the company occupies the resources of the entire planet, the material conditions provided by these resources will not only completely lift 200 billion bottom-level employees out of poverty, but also allow many senior employees to privately live a life that they could not even imagine in the past. day.

When the company was just an ordinary technology company, all these senior executives could get were high salaries and a good life brought about by the company's profits. At that time, there were many people in the world who were richer and more powerful than them.

When the company launched a war, unified the entire planet, and occupied the assets of all the superpowers in the past, these company executives were like small merchants who were eating hot pot or sitting on the train and were suddenly dressed in yellow robes. .

They once only held the operating rights of the company's departments, but suddenly found that the benefits they could touch were suddenly so great that they could not believe it.

The authority in their hands is always related to the development and progress of the company, and it is also always related to the thoughts, lives, morals and way of existence of hundreds of millions, billions or even tens of billions of people!

At that moment, it was as if they saw Pandora's box being opened in front of them. They were not immediately dominated by various desires and inner thoughts. They still remained as rational and clear-headed as possible.

Because they know that behind them, beside the huge benefits at their fingertips, there is always a gaze staring at them, making them dare not act rashly.

But time passes, day after day, month after month.

While they are fulfilling their responsibilities and contributing to the development and construction of the company, they are also constantly being impacted by reality, and their hearts are gradually attracted by the huge but easily accessible benefits.

Over time, people's hearts will change.

Just like the leaders of the superpowers of the past.

So some people began to be restless and keep to themselves.

The witchcraft begins.

First, in the Southland, the zoning enforcement officers of two urban residential zoning districts had conflicts due to minor issues in energy distribution planning during project construction.

Then, like some kind of pre-arranged plan, the operations branch responsible for the two zoning work came forward to mediate, leaving aside the engineering department that should have resolved this minor conflict according to the division of powers.

Subsequently, a deputy director of the Engineering Department reported the problem to the main department of the Operations Department, but it was not properly resolved.

After this small incident, there seemed to be a gap between the Operations Department and the Engineering Department. There were constant minor frictions that were innocuous. Although they did not affect any project construction, they caused the personnel of the two departments to be at odds with each other. .

Now there is no internal turmoil in Gray Gu Company and no strong enemies externally.

Due to some confidential reasons, many senior executives are not aware of the fact that the company is hostile to the angel civilization. Therefore, in the eyes of some people, the company now has a bright future, and the "profit cake" made by the company is already big enough. It's probably time to divide the cake.

That’s right, share the cake!Many times, the progress of a collective requires ideological and moral progress.

But for a group that makes progress for the sake of interests, even if its fundamental interests are defined as civilization and progress, not everyone will accept this kind of thinking and be arbitrarily influenced by this kind of thinking instilled by others.

After all, this is a world where the weak prey on the strong, and the existence of interests always affects the vagaries of people's hearts. No matter how tight a group is, over time, it will subconsciously divide into groups of three, six, and nine.

This cruel reality cannot be reversed no matter how much we promote equality.

Those who feel overwhelmed at high places often have further ambitions until they can no longer advance.

In the Gray Goo Company, the bottom employees will undoubtedly be classified into the ninth class.

Although the company's policy has repeatedly stated that there is no difference between low-level employees and the company's top management, and that every employee will be treated fairly and equitably within the company without distinction, this declaration is no more than waste paper in the eyes of some people.

What a joke, how much power do low-level employees hold in their hands? Who gives them the qualifications to compare with ministers, deputy ministers, and even ministers who hold great power?

So what if we are enjoying the same material life?So what if they are in the same collective and the same system?

It cannot be changed no matter what. Those who hold great power have a natural field that looks down upon those below them.

Those in high positions of power are never truly fooled by what they preach.

The employees at the bottom are the ninth class, so the key personnel of each department above them are naturally the eighth class, the seventh class, the sixth class... and so on.

Each class of people will involuntarily form a group self-awareness, and then they will form small groups among themselves to represent the interests of their small group.

These small groups will be chaotic due to various differences among the individuals, but they will always be influenced by the will of the higher-level group. This influence comes from the obedience imposed by the upper-level power on the lower-level people. .

Not surprisingly, in the minds of these people, the number one person in this fair and just group is undoubtedly the company's CEO.

Of course, this is subject to the unique system of Gray Goo Company, so the first-class person is the CEO. If the system were to change, they wouldn't care whether the first-class person is called CEO.

They only know that the highest source of power in the company now comes from the CEO's assignment of responsibilities to various departments, and the right to distribute the company's profit pie is also in the hands of the CEO.

If this piece of cake is cut, then everyone from the CEO down, except for the ninth-level employees, will have the opportunity to obtain a considerable benefit.

What is this benefit?

It is also the qualification to become a trendsetter of the times, maybe the qualification to lead the times, maybe the qualification to control the life and death of others and take life and death at will...

Anyway, there are many kinds, as long as it is good for them.

The company's various so-called fair and equitable policies, development and plans were said to bring civilization to progress, develop space engineering, and embrace a new era...

It's so grand-sounding, but to put it bluntly, isn't it just for show?
Isn't the purpose of the show just to make the cake in your hand bigger and bigger?

After all, profit comes first.

The cake has grown so big, why not share it with everyone?

Even if you don’t take out the cake and divide it, you should at least give an intention to divide it. Draw a big cake and feed those who are waiting to divide the cake first.

Otherwise what’s the point of making a cake?

In their view, once a cake is made, it will be divided sooner or later. If it is not divided now, it will be divided later. It is only a matter of time.

It's just that as the CEO, Lu Yuan has always controlled the distribution rights in his hands and has no intention of taking out the cake and sharing it with others.

Is this true?outrageous.

After all, the wisdom of most mortals is limited. No matter how advanced ideas and moral concepts are instilled in them, in the end they will still have all kinds of dark thoughts for the sake of immediate short-term interests.

The world that people know is the world that can be known by people, not the world itself.

The world in the eyes of most of the company's top executives was limited to immediate interests. In the past, in order to develop, the company would directly satisfy their inner desires and interests. However, over time, they were overfed, It also began to gradually no longer be limited to the present.

Their desires are further released and lengthened by the passage of time.

So they looked up at the starry sky, and what they saw was not the endless stars, but a deep wellhead and dots of starlight outside the wellhead.

They thought that was all they could get, so they impatiently planned to fight at the bottom of the well...
