Resurrection Empire-Chapter 885 - 340: Irresistible Bait (Part 2)

Now this revival plan, to put it plainly, starts from scratch, achieving the goals within ten years is extremely challenging.

Ren Zhong pondered for a moment, then said, "Considering factors like the attenuation of electromagnetic wave communication, atmospheric blockage and scattering, I believe the revival plan shouldn't solely focus on satellites."

Ma Xiaocheng: "How so?"

"The higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength of electromagnetic waves, and the more energy is absorbed when penetrating the atmosphere. Therefore, the satellites themselves shouldn't use high-frequency short waves, but should use low-frequency long waves. However, when it comes to the ground, within the same city or town, there are many terminal devices, and the information throughput will be high. At this time, the data carrying capacity of low-frequency long waves isn't enough. Thus, we should use high-frequency short waves within the city. The revival plan should be divided into three parts: the first part focuses on satellites, the second on ground information distribution, and the third on information compression, which involves research on linking ground and satellite information more efficiently, essentially establishing base stations. The third part includes both base station development and improving information compression capabilities and other aspects..."

Ma Xiaocheng was stunned for a long time after hearing this.

Ren Zhong continued to elaborate confidently.

As they talked, Ren Zhong realized the other party had fallen silent, "Minister? Minister, are you listening?"

Ma Xiaocheng suddenly snapped out of it, "Ren Zhong, I want to nominate you to take charge of the revival plan."

Ren Zhong waved his hands repeatedly, "I'm just proposing some personal speculations; I'm merely a theorist. Truly implementing it, I'm incapable. Overstretching leads to ineffective outcomes; instead of speculating on these, we might as well focus on rebuilding computing power."

Ma Xiaocheng: "Right, right. In that case, I'll immediately apply to the Association to officially transfer you to Deep Communication Group."

Ren Zhong waved a hand, "Wait."

Ma Xiaocheng: "Hmm? What's wrong?"

Ren Zhong: "I want to know what my compensation will be."

Ma Xiaocheng frowned, "Haven't you become a Seventh Level Citizen already?"

Ren Zhong shook his head with a smile, "That was merely the stepping stone you provided for me to come here. Honestly, I don't have grand ambitions; I prefer managing my own patch of ground well. Even if I'm not involved in Deep Communication Group affairs, I can still enjoy being my own local emperor in Yangsheng City, potentially expanding my dominion, accumulating more resources. I won't miss out on the tickets for the Great Migration. Without sufficient benefits, why should I contribute here?"

Ma Xiaocheng: "I can offer you a sky-high compensation, much more than what you can earn by managing the Ren Group."

"Then what about Contribution Points?"

"This..."

Ma Xiaocheng was stumped by Ren Zhong's question.

Not to mention himself, the entire Association now "hasn't a penny to its name."

The financial system has evaporated, so where would the compensation come from?

Ma Xiaocheng: "But, but this work is crucial to the societal stability of Source Star."

Ren Zhong continued questioning, "Stability is others' business; power and enjoyment are my own affairs. Minister Ma, you're Deep Communication Group's heir, destined from birth to be one of the nine richest and most powerful people on Source Star. I'm different; I lived as a bottom-tier outcast for over twenty years, finally grasping the chance to soar high and turn my life around. I'm not qualified to care about those vague notions of honor; I just want tangible benefits. Even if the revival plan fully succeeds, can my product users turn into my resources? No. Can I, like you, Minister Ma, become one of the nine most powerful people on Source Star? No. I naturally prefer enjoying life within my own territory, it's reasonable." 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Getting to this point, Ma Xiaocheng finally understood Ren Zhong's real thoughts.

The matter can be dealt with, but he won't act without benefit in sight.

If Ren Zhong were just an ordinary citizen, Ma Xiaocheng might have resorted to using his power to show him what "forced labor" means.

However, Ren Zhong isn't ordinary.

He's a senior member of the Promotion Association, a confidant of Ying Hao, a lifeline of Purple Crystal Mining, the primary controller of Yangsheng City, a newly minted tycoon with fixed assets over four trillion, and a newly appointed regional vice president of Tanggu Group...

Although none of these identities on their own pose a threat to Deep Communication Group, concentrated on one person, they are quite challenging.

After a long while, Ma Xiaocheng surrendered, "Ren Zhong, I genuinely appreciate and sincerely invite you. I also sense you're not entirely averse to this work. Just state your conditions outright."
