Transmigrator's Guide to Conquering Another World-Chapter 466 - 430: Dai Chaohong’s Request

Although the Bowan Coal Mine is significant in meaning,

after all, its scale is merely that of a small mine.

Huaxia is vast and rich in resources, with countless precedents of similar kind on its native land. The workers are well-versed in these processes.

Therefore, the groundbreaking process didn't encounter any major issues.

Not to mention uncontrollable accidents.

In the end, not even the contingency plans were used, and the standard output was achieved on the first day.

The next morning.

In the command room.

Numerous camp leaders took their seats one by one.

Zhang Guanghua, Lin Li's assistant, was holding a fax sent by Lin Ziming, reporting to the crowd:

"Leaders, on the first day of work, Bowan Coal Mine's output reached 2442.3 tons, without any unexpected incidents in the process.

According to Director Fei Qiu's message, they are confident they can increase the daily extraction rate to around 3500 tons within a week.

This way, the annual extraction rate is expected to reach the range of 1.2 to 1.5 million tons.

And our thermal power plant's daily theoretical demand is merely around 2000 tons, with peak shifting we can even reduce it to 1500 tons.

So, in the long run,

this portion of the transportation capacity should be completely freed up."

Hearing this, Lin Li, sitting at the top, nodded slightly and added:

"The main camp holds the same attitude, planning to observe for another week or so.

If the operation of the coal mine is stable by then, transportation capacity handover will officially proceed to fully allocate transportation capacity for Spiritual Energy transportation.

Oh, Xiaozhang,

after the meeting go and talk to Comrade Fei Qiu, remind him not to make mistakes aiming for zero errors.

He is an experienced worker, he should understand what I'm saying."

Zhang Guanghua nodded:

"Understood, I'll liaise later."

On the other side.

Although freeing up transportation capacity was an anticipated plan,

when it was officially announced by Lin Li,

everyone in the meeting room couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.

20% of the transport capacity!

This was undoubtedly an enormous piece of good news for the workers who tirelessly researched the light gate, eager to widen its breadth even by a centimeter!

Then Lin Li paused, addressing the crowd:

"Everyone, the main reason for gathering here today is threefold.

First is to explain the coal mine situation, so everybody can be prepared for the upcoming 'acceleration' in camp.

Second, to inform you that Dean Bao and Shi Yin have already entered the Celestial Moon Mountain Range with the Red Dragon Trading Team.

Currently, we've completely lost contact with them, only knowing the approximate location where they entered the mountain range.

If all goes well, we might be without contact for a long time.

Lastly...

...to discuss with everyone the selection of personnel for the expedition to Yaoque."

With Lin Li's words, the atmosphere at the scene immediately became serious.

Correct.

Yaoque!

Although there is nearly a month's time until Yang Zhengchu's set departure date, theoretically, there is still plenty of time.

But as the saying goes,

prepare provisions before deploying troops.

After all, this journey to Yaoque wasn't for sightseeing; it involves a plethora of key scientific research and information gathering missions.

Although the personnel dispatched to the Fire Camp are all elites,

reality is not a game, personalities and compatibilities between elites are different.

Some might be more reckless, while others are calmer...

Hence the importance of deciding the Yaoque expedition personnel early is self-evident.

Then Lin Li paused and said:

"According to our agreement with Yang Zhengchu,

among the 200 slots he brings, half can be allocated to our camp, which means 100 slots.

And the minimum cultivation level for these 100 accompanying personnel must be above the second layer of Qi Cultivation.

Furthermore, the proportion of proficient Damo language users must not be below 80%."

After speaking, Lin Li looked at the crowd and said:

"Anyone with ideas or candidates, feel free to propose them. The more, the merrier."

Just as Lin Li mentioned,

Yaoque, as the core frontier of the Damo Realm, while allowing Nascent Soul Realm and Core Formation Realm to bring some attendants, both their quantity and "quality" cannot be relaxed excessively.

Having a minimum cultivation base of the second layer of Qi Cultivation is already a respectable ratio.

Currently, there are nearly five hundred cultivators within the camp above the fourth layer of Qi Cultivation, selecting the right candidates should not be difficult.

The real challenge lies behind — the proficiency in the Damo language.

Unlike the initial business trip to Ziqiong City, combat entails far higher scrutiny than trade.

If at Yaoque there are individuals wielding a black translator and speaking non-Damo language,

any non-idiotic commander would sense a problem.

Even if Yang Zhengchu vouches for them, troubles will surely follow.

As soon as Lin Li finished speaking, Dai Chaohong raised his hand:

"Captain Lin, I'd like to apply for one of the accompanying spots this time."

While saying this, Dai Chaohong's other hand was already tightly clenched into a fist under the table.

He was one of the first experts to arrive at the Damo Realm with Lin Li and others, and had made crucial contributions in the early days of the camp, such as predicting the threat facing Chixian City.

When Hua Xiaomo was first discovered, he also analyzed and concluded that there might be a Tier Four Demon Beast behind the beast-eared little girl.

Thus, it can be said that in the early days of the camp, this expert significantly contributed to its development.

However, unfortunately.

For some unknown reason, this expert, who was quite popular at first, seemed to have a lower presence later on.

Of course.

The main reason for all this was the reduction in individual personnel demand when the rabbits spread out in the field.

Nonetheless, it was somewhat disappointing for him personally.

Therefore, Dai Chaohong always harbored a desire to prove his capabilities again—being a young expert returning from overseas, it's impossible for him to lack ambition.

Additionally, he had a keen interest in the cultural aspects of the Yaoxue side, which prompted him to rarely make a self-recommendation this time.

On the other side.

When Lin Li saw Dai Chaohong raise his hand, he was slightly taken aback.

Although the meeting was supposed to propose candidates.

As the host controlling the scene, Lin Li actually had a preset list in mind.

Unfortunately, Dai Chaohong was not on that list.

The reason was simple:

Dai Chaohong had a mere five spiritual roots.

There were many people with these qualifications in the camp, given the 80% "breakout" rate.

Personnel like Hua Jun, overseeing the spiritual energy shield, and Liu Xiangqian, researching the pineal gland, both had this qualification.

For these personnel, health-regulating pills are always provided.

But they remain without chances for enhancement pills like Cyan Cloud Pill.

Ultimately, it's uncertain if five spiritual roots can be optimized in the future, but for now, the camp can't provide them abundant cultivation resources.

This led to most five-spiritual-root researchers relying on Harbin Pharmaceutical Group's Awakening Pill to cultivate their spiritual senses.

As for further progress, it's like the end of a eunuch author's story... it doesn't continue.

Moreover, Ma Ning and Dai Chaohong actually overlap significantly in capabilities and both hold professorial titles.

Putting them together could lead to conflicts of opinion—such things had happened before:

There was a divergence in opinions during the assessment of Chixian City's success in resisting the beast tide, but no one mentioned it later.

Thus, from the start, Lin Li excluded Dai Chaohong from the candidate list.

After all, he wasn't completely idle in the camp, as the rabbits had recently collected cultural samples.

For instance, the newly upgraded second-generation translator owes contributions to Dai Chaohong's team.

However, now that Dai Chaohong has actively requested to accompany, Lin Li must take note.

Seeing Lin Li look his way, Dai Chaohong organized his thoughts and continued:

"Captain Lin, I know there are certain qualifications required for accompanying personnel, but I'd still like to try.

Honestly speaking.

I focus on social humanities.

I can endure hardships, but without scholarly pursuits, I really can't accept it.

I chose to return to Huaxia initially because our history is extensive, with many secrets waiting for us descendants to explore and study.

Now, in the Damo Realm, there's a chance to witness the intersection of two worlds, to experience the collision of two civilizations firsthand.

Can I forsake this opportunity?

If it's indeed difficult to find a spot, you could push me in as mere manual labor.

Yaoxue is so vast, surely there's a place for a mortal?"

Upon hearing Dai Chaohong's words.

Lin Li subtly exchanged a glance with Zeng Gu Cheng.

It seemed this expert, who had risen and then fallen, indeed held some determination inside...

But as Dai Chaohong said, putting in a mortal wouldn't cause too much trouble.

He was youthful, unlike the septuagenarian experts or programmers who couldn't stand under the sun for three hours; calling them laborers would only convince fools.

Dai Chaohong, now not even forty, while not exactly at the peak of his powers.

Yet bearing the title of a meticulous registrar is no issue.

Moreover, these days, Dai Chaohong has mastered basic Damo language, eliminating linguistic barriers.

Thus, after some discussion, Lin Li and the others decided to add him to the accompanying list.

Lin Li then returned to the main seat, sipped tea to moisten his throat.

He continued:

"Everyone, among the hundred accompanying personnel this time, 85-90 will be researchers and warriors.

The remainder will comprise ten to fifteen leaders and coordinators, responsible for coordination and comprehensive analysis during the event.

Professor Dai is now one of them.

Additionally, Professor Ma Ning and Academician Zeng Gu Cheng must accompany.

This leaves us with about seven to ten positions left to discuss, and I urge everyone to speak freely."

You all probably heard about the writer who had their account hacked, right? Today I checked out their comment section and discovered the operating officer's name is Lei Wenjun... This name rings a bell....
