Interstellar Number One Farmer: I Only Want To Farm!-Chapter 371 - 116: Connections 3

Colonel Bai had a clear objective; he only voted for the Extraordinary Island, abstaining with the other vote. It wasn’t favoritism; he had played the Extraordinary Island Plan.

With the Extraordinary Island Plan, other games seemed like mere toys in comparison.

The level of detail was something many big companies couldn’t achieve.

What Extraordinary Island lacks now is the simulation pod upgrade; the current simulation pods can’t keep up with the plan.

But it’s the simulation pods that are imperfect, what does that have to do with the Extraordinary Island?

The voting results quickly appeared on the screen. As expected, out of sixty votes, the "Extraordinary Island Plan" received twenty-eight votes.

The committee members exchanged glances, amazed at their mutual understanding.

Everyone knew why it was chosen.

Some knew Extraordinary Island couldn’t fulfill the role, some voted just to fill the numbers, and some genuinely thought the proposal for the Extraordinary Island Plan was nicely written.

By a twist of fate, the Extraordinary Island Plan ended up with the most votes.

But voting alone cannot determine the final result.

A comprehensive evaluation is still needed, and the company must provide more information.

The top five companies in the votes all have a chance.

These companies seemed to have inside information, keeping their budget under five billion, while only Extraordinary Island candidly stated five billion as five billion.

"First confirm with these five companies whether they can meet our requirements before the competition. We will visit those who can meet the requirements within a month; if not, don’t waste the effort," Elder Yi said.

Someone raised a hand, "Assuming they all say they can, which one should we visit first?"

Without a doubt, everyone wanted to see the Extraordinary Island Plan first.

The sooner, the better, so it could be eliminated first.

The vote count was too dazzling.

But they couldn’t bring it up themselves, so everyone looked at Colonel Bai, as they were going to be the evaluators to assess whether the company met the standard.

Colonel Bai said, "Let’s wait for the company’s reply first."

Then he added, "We can only proceed with the experience trial based on the progress of the project."

If the other party says they will complete it in twenty days, but the committee insists on going beforehand, that’s setting them up for failure.

The committee members, smart enough, nodded in agreement.

In the meantime, proceed to investigate the five companies.

This competition involves not only Mecha Masters, but also Maintenance Masters, Designers, and even Logistics.

So the goal of the team competition is to go straight to the point, gathering talents from all fields.

The military was hungry enough to consume any talent.

Therefore, not conducting it online would incur a great cost.

...

Working overtime, Su Xiaocai received a call from Yu Haoming, inquiring about the progress of the competition project and when it might be completed.

"About ten days, there are still some details to be handled. What’s up?"

Yu Haoming was silent for a while before saying, "The committee wants to check the progress to determine if it can be completed within the deadline."

"Okay, and what then? I can handle my side; are you having trouble there?"

The veteran Su guessed right; he was short-staffed.

"How much are you short?" Su Xiaocai also knew it was a bit of a demanding request.

Technical issues were solvable, but gathering people was indeed challenging. Even Admiral Bai, despite his abundant human resources, couldn’t solve all her problems.

Su Xiaocai thought of Daddy Su; as the master of the realm, his connections were abundant.

Should she tap into Daddy Su’s resources once more?

Yu Haoming said, "I have some friends, they’re decent people, but their education isn’t very high."

"No problem, you decide, as long as their character checks out. Tell me how much you’re short, and what’s the progress, and how many people you can find."

"Currently we’ve covered about thirty percent of habitable planets for humans. In the next week we can increase by about ten percent. To achieve over eighty percent coverage, it’s estimated to take three months." The harder it gets, the tougher the bones.

Especially with mining planets and Garbage Star, not many are willing to stay long-term.

"Do your best. If it doesn’t work after trying, take it slow. Once you spend the money, find a way to earn it back."

With Su Xiaocai’s promise, Yu Haoming’s anxious heart floating in suspense was grounded once again.

"Alright, I’ll report back up and say that the project you’re working on will be completed within twelve days." Not too tight with time; adding two days should make it smoother for Su Xiaocai.

"Alright."

Turning around, the mature and steady Su Xiaocai turned into a mischievous little imp.

She again went to Daddy Su to act cute.

"Daddy～"

Daddy Su directly hung up the phone: If his daughter called, it’s certainly nothing good.

Su Xiaocai: "..."

She had no choice but to use a normal tone, calling a second time, formally asking Daddy Su for help.

"Always troubling me, tell me, what’s the matter?"
