"It has been identified that the Inspectors and core personnel involved in the Satellite City project have been placed under bounty by killer organizations from four surrounding provinces. Currently, the highest bounties are on six Fifth-Phase Inspectors, all with S-level bounty orders. Fourth-Phase Inspectors are A+, and Third-Phase Inspectors are A-. Please allocate the security team according to different bounty levels to ensure the safety of the Inspectors. There must be no security lapses."

"The infection tide that disappeared last winter in Xiasha County Town has been located in the underground network of Shunyi County Town, 130 kilometers away, with approximately 57,000 people suspected to be infected with ’Thousand Blasphemy Ice Toad.’ A small-scale exploratory investigation is underway, with research results expected in three days."

"The forty-seventh array, expected to arrive in Happiness City six days from now with 21,000 migrants, has been confirmed to be entirely infected with Soul-Eroding Worm, and 17,000 of them cannot be cured. Request to initiate Protocol No. 3 for extermination and trace the source to prevent further spread."

"Regarding the water disaster in Lin River, a Third-Phase negotiation has been conducted with Zhu Zhiyi, the City Lord of Yueye Shelter City. The negotiation result is: we will deploy manpower and resources to tackle the water disaster, while Yueye Shelter City provides 150% of the project funds as a subsidy. To show further cooperation, we need to open an A-level technology and support 50,000 people to help rebuild Yueye Shelter City."

"The basic construction materials for twelve Satellite Cities are in place, with advanced materials being expedited. Resources have also been allocated from surrounding Shelter Cities, with support for the second batch of Satellite Cities expected in five days. However, there is still a significant shortage of a few rare materials, requiring adjustments to the construction plan. This part will be synchronized with the inspection station."

"The Mechanical Bureau has repaired 191 pieces of equipment, with 237 still under repair, prioritizing construction machinery for the Satellite Cities..."

"..."

Reports came in constantly, with no delays or excuses, even the act of flipping through documents was done with efficiency.

Without internal strife, even if it was tiring, the mood was unburdened and relaxed.

When it was Ding Yishan’s turn, he opened his folder and spoke with a steady yet powerful pace:

"First, a recall has been issued to all Field Inspectors, with an expected return of eight Fourth-Phase Inspectors to participate in the next round of construction tasks within forty-five days."

"Secondly, the second batch of Satellite City sites has been verified through supercomputing, pre-opening 12 sites to form the second chain of the defense circle, including: West Slope Town, Wali Town, East Ridge Town, Tantou Town, Dapo Town, Bridgehead Town.."

"The second round of Satellite City assessments will begin in three days, with each Satellite City expected to accommodate around four thousand to ten thousand people."

"Station Chief Ding, isn’t the settlement number a bit low?" Hou Rui frowned, tapping his fingers on the table, "These towns indeed need facilities overhauled from scratch, but with a median of seven thousand people, twelve Satellite Cities can only accommodate 84,000, far short of the gap compared to the total number of refugees."

"Minister Hou, there’s a situation that needs to be clarified with you."

Ding Yishan explained solemnly, "The first batch of 12 Satellite Cities along with No. 1 Satellite City have already taken the most robust, capable young adults from the refugees. The remaining refugees, whether in terms of physical ability or cooperation, are much less competent. If we settle them at the same scale as the first batch, chaos can easily ensue, like conflicts over resource allocation, reluctance during construction, or even conflicts over minor issues."

"For now, let’s have the first batch of Satellite Cities supplement the gap. They’ve already scaled up and can absorb more people. Once the second batch of Satellite Cities establishes a basic framework and their management processes get in place, we can gather the refugees on a larger scale, which is more stable."

"I see. I hadn’t considered that."

Hou Rui pondered for a few seconds, quickly nodding in agreement.

The number of refugees can be measured by statistics, but "quality" is something that can’t be seen in the data.

The first batch already took the best human resources, and if the second batch adheres strictly to the same scale, the difficulty doubles, risking problems.

"Additionally, the basic construction materials data for the second batch of Satellite Cities, please coordinate these with the inspection station quickly. Assessment plans need adjusting based on material shortages; the Inspectors can’t go with a plan but no materials to start."

Ding Yishan added, his gaze sweeping over the ministers responsible for resource allocation.

"No problem! We’ll have the data compiled and sent over by seven tomorrow morning!"

"We have our stats ready, will sync them over shortly!"

"The first batch of Satellite Cities returned quite a bit of materials, which are still being tallied. We’ll report the exact quantities to the inspection station by four tomorrow afternoon at the latest."

Several ministers nodded in agreement. Efficient information synchronization was something completely unimaginable to everyone before.

But now, it all became a reality.

And after synchronization, there were no back-and-forth excuses; everyone left hurriedly.

Ding Yishan couldn’t linger in the meeting hall; he had to rush to the inspection station to streamline personnel planning.

These days have been busy coordinating the construction of the first batch of Satellite Cities, and there was no time to detail the construction of the second batch.

Thankfully, there’s a three-day buffer period, and with the first batch of Satellite Cities gradually stabilizing, he can finally focus on this task.

"Sir, you should take a break." Jiang Chuan drove, glancing at the dark circles under Ding Yishan’s eyes, his tone full of concern, "You’ve only been sleeping two hours a day these past few days; your body can’t take it."

Previously, with the power of the Wanderer, Ding Yishan could work tirelessly without feeling exhausted.

But now that power has long since dissipated, relying solely on sheer will, visibly wearing him down.
