Resurrection Empire-Chapter 870 - 335: Oscar_2

Some automation machines, which used to run ceaselessly, have also stopped working. No matter how the workers try to debug them, it's like fiddling with a brain-dead corpse.

Before completely stopping, some out-of-control machines mistakenly advanced a bit, leading to numerous collapse accidents.

Though most machines are unmanned and almost no workers were buried, the burial of valuable excavation devices is deemed more severe than the death of workers.

Additionally, the metallurgy production line at the front end also experienced various minor and major accidents.

The panic-stricken Yu Junren, after failing to salvage the situation, attempted to contact the higher-ups but found himself completely out of touch.

It wasn't until about half an hour ago, when a Level Five Professional arrived by car carrying a letter written by Gao Tianhua himself, and conveyed verbally the order to remain calm, completely stop production, and wait for further instructions, that he felt a bit more at ease.

At this moment, thousands of employees in the Chenhui Mine are quietly staying in their respective dormitories.

Only Yu Junren, the person in charge, is left restless and uneasy as he waits, feeling uncertain.

At this time, Ren Zhong arrived.

First, Ren Zhong's arrival means that the thousands of grassroots wanderers from Starfire Town in the Chenhui Mine will completely calm down, avoiding any trouble caused by a lack of work or uncertainty.

Secondly, Ren Zhong has long proven his strength and has become the absolute authority, an influencer in Yangsheng City, whose power and control rivals that of the Chief Governor of the Yangsheng City Government. He has the military, personal research capability, money, and manpower.

Most importantly, Ren Zhong has always maintained a deep cooperative relationship with the Continent Level Laboratory located in the Chenhui Mine.

No one visits the three treasures hall without reason; surely, Ren Zhong will solve many of his troubles with this visit.

"General Ren, I am truly grateful for your visit to Chenhui Mine at such a crucial moment."

Yu Junren approached him respectfully.

He had long forgotten about the disparity in their statuses when Ren Zhong first came to the mine as a new miner with Lin Wang and others, where he was high-handed and controlled all the miners.

Ren Zhong glanced at Yu Junren's messy hair and gold-rimmed glasses hanging slanted on his face, smiled, and said, "Manager Yu, haven't you washed your face since this morning from being so busy?"

"Ah, indeed. I have no idea what's going on. I've never encountered such a situation before. There's no precedent for this in history. How are things over at Starfire Town now?"

Ren Zhong smiled, "What do you think?"

"With you overseeing, everything is certainly normal and perfectly fine."

"Certainly."

"Are you here for the workers this time?"

Ren Zhong first nodded, then shook his head, "I'll leave the work of stabilizing the workers' mood to my wife Ju Qingmeng. Let's chat casually in your office first."

Yu Junren: "Alright."

Following this, Ju Qingmeng, acting as Ren Zhong's spokesperson, led a few guard members from Ren's Group and went to the living area with staff from the Chenhui Mine.

Ren Zhong and Yu Junren went to the upper level of the pyramid command center.

Yu Junren, already knowing Ren Zhong liked tea, brewed a cup personally and said, "Sigh, Gao always refuses to reveal what happened to me. As for when things might return to normal, Gao said he doesn't know either. It needs discussion between our company leaders and the Deep Communication Group, followed by a unified notification."

"I have some theories." Ren Zhong craned his neck to look at the doorway.

Yu Junren understood, "There are no electromagnetic eavesdropping devices installed here. Previously, there was a Ghost Particle Communicator relying on the flow of information for me to communicate conveniently with higher-ups, but it's ineffective now."

Ren Zhong coughed softly, "Recently, I wrote a paper related to intelligent algorithms. You know this, right?"

"Yes."

"Now, I am somewhat considered a half-expert. My judgment is, the 'net' likely malfunctioned. About one hundred and fifty years ago, humanity experienced a technological regression; you know this, right?"

"Yes."

Ren Zhong: "Just like now, it was due to issues with the 'net,' though not as severe — humanity only lost part of the 'net''s computing power, unlike this time. At that time, it took humanity fifty years to repair the 'net.' Do you understand what I mean?"

Yu Junren gasped, "You're saying, before the great migration, it won't be possible to restore everything to its original state?"

Ren Zhong nodded deeply, "Not only that, but even the great migration might be disrupted. You must understand, the spacecraft built by Source Star Military Industry extensively use communication devices reliant on the 'net,' regardless of their level. All of this will need rebuilding."
