Chapter 284 Speed ​​Up! Speed ​​Up!

"I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"

When Amber asked this question, the frightened crowd didn't know what to say for a while.

They found that their boss seemed to be a little too ambitious. Just now, the group seemed to be almost buried in this asteroid, and now they had the mind to ask such a question.

In the end, Randall, who was more familiar with Amber, said carefully:

"Good news?"

"The good news is that I should have obtained the management authority of this equipment, and I can put this thing into production at any time, and the mining and refining efficiency of the mining team will be qualitatively leaped."

"Should?" Randall caught a key word.

"Ahem. Basically there is no problem."

"Basically?" George also caught a key word.

"No, you believe me, there will be no problem! If there is a problem, I will also take care of it for you!"

"What if?" The miners caught a key word at the same time.

Now everyone couldn't hold it back anymore and laughed.

This is also the characteristic of Atlas employees, or a kind of "corporate culture" of Atlas.

No matter what kind of personality or psychological quality this person has, as long as he enters Atlas and works on the front line for a period of time, he will gradually become as heartless as the 'big boss'.

Especially when he is with Amber, it is even more so.

"Damn you guys, let me tell you the bad news~"

Amber also smiled, and then continued:

"The bad news is that the maker of this thing is a civilization that has disappeared in the universe for a long time, and may be hostile to us humans and the elves of the Thousand Star Empire. If they come to our door one day in the future, they may have a big fight."

"Boss, then we can just return the things to them when the time comes?"

"You are such a smart guy, then I will send you to negotiate with them when the time comes!"

"Hahahaha, Boss, otherwise let me go, Jamie is a coward and may pee his pants when he sees these aliens~"

Everyone present laughed again. Obviously, for them, the 'forerunner civilization' is still too far away from their lives.

Even though they are now employed by Atlas, which is considered to be a relatively cutting-edge organization in human society, it is still difficult for them to be interested in this illusory ancient civilization for a while.

As long as they know what is hidden in this asteroid, it can greatly improve the efficiency of mining and refining, that's enough.

But this is also the effect that Amber wants to achieve now.

Regarding the Forerunner civilization, especially the scene in the illusion that the Forerunner civilization is suspected to be fighting with humans and elves, it will temporarily become a secret that only he knows.

So as not to cause panic to others.

In his opinion, instead of spending time explaining the source of this thing to the employees, it is better to let them treat it as a joke and forget about it.

——

After Amber completely gained control of the 'Growable Large Mining and Refining Core', the work process of the mining team under Atlas Mining has changed.

The several gyrator-class mining engineering ships that were originally the main force of excavation have become auxiliary roles in the operation, and the real main force of the entire mining team has become this huge regular hexadecahedron.

Amber first controlled this thing and dug out several basic large holes in the asteroid, laying the foundation for the subsequent base construction.

Then he drilled out from the inside of the asteroid along a "port entry and exit" channel that was opened up.

Next, the work of cutting asteroids or digging out the outer rock wall was all handed over to this pioneer civilization creation.

The unknown "green rays" it emits are far more efficient in decomposing ores and crystals than the hot melt cutters on mining engineering ships.

So after Amber set up the mining program and divided the control authority to George, the task of this regular hexadecahedron with the internal code name "Star Eater" became cutting the asteroids marked by the exploration team.

In this process, it simultaneously absorbs and refines the scattered fragments, as well as the scraps dragged by the small engineering ship, completes its own growth, and prepares for the subsequent expansion into a large mining and refining platform.

Yes, the authority of this thing can be allocated.

When Amber used the mark in her mind to let the blue light emitted by the hexadecahedron scan George, George's biological information appeared in the 'control interface'.

So Amber assigned George a privilege called 'field executive'.

It allowed him to control the hexadecahedron to move a short distance and select the cutting target.

And a kind of 'electronic fence'-like existence also limited the range of movement of the hexadecahedron to this asteroid belt.

Amber's setting is that once someone forcibly drags away the 'growable large mining and refining core', this thing will directly enter an irreversible self-decomposition process.

After explaining these things and learning that with the help of the financial business department, Atlas Mining has become the top mining supplier in the border area of ​​the Federation and the Star Dragon Empire.

Amber also made the next step of instructions - to rely on the "Growable Large-scale Mining and Refining Core" ore refining technology that far exceeds the level of human technology to complete the market monopoly of refined ore in border areas.

As for the increased profits after the expansion of production, their use has been determined from the beginning.

That is to support Atlas Private Military Company's next explosive force plan.

After arranging the relevant work in the mining area and giving the miners a ten-day shift leave that would start immediately, Amber left the mining area and went to the Tower of Babel, which she had not been to for a long time.

——

After the war on Lubion 5 ended, Atlas Group began to focus mainly on the three projects of post-war reconstruction, asteroid belt mining, and explosive ordnance. The overall pace was much slower than before. few.

Of course, this slowdown refers to the slowdown in the pace of projects. The efficiency of Atlas employees in actual work still maintains a very high level.

All projects across the group, from large to small, including daily meal preparation in the employee canteen, have project timetables and progress charts set by Lilith after calculations.

Under Lilith's "refined management" that monitors the work behavior of all employees, rewards and punishments within the company are basically "discovered on the same day and adjudicated on the same day" to ensure that there are no unjust, false or wrong cases.

With the ever-expanding server array in the asteroid to maintain its own computing and storage needs, Lilith's capabilities have now reached a level that is difficult for other AIs to reach.

To manage more than 10,000 employees under various subsidiaries of the Atlas Group, it is enough for her to allocate a little computing power.

All projects are broken down by her starting from the top and then working down to the corresponding level of employees.

Everyone can see the work tasks they should complete today on their personal terminal every day, as well as the overall task progress, whether they have any task lags, and other information.

Except for middle-level and above-level supervisors who occasionally need to discuss together, other employees only need to complete their tasks on time and with quality.

If the work that should be completed today is completed every day and continues for a month, the employee will receive a 'perfect attendance bonus' in addition to the salary.

It can be said that Lilith’s company management module can be called the ultimate version of ‘fully automated labor management software’.

This efficiency is most vividly reflected in Atlas Industries.

Most of Atlas Industrial's employees are focused on R&D, testing, and sales.

Except for some necessary safety officers and machinery managers, no one else can be seen on the production line.

On the 24-hour assembly line, individual weapons and equipment, exoskeletons, various combat vehicles, and HCPs that have been finalized and put into production are being continuously completed.

Some of them are packaged directly after leaving the factory and sent to the Comprehensive Training Center in Babel. Combat troops who have completed all training subjects will wait for distribution after completing the re-equipment.

The other part of the "reduced" version of the external sales products is sorted and sent to the star systems where each customer is located through the airport.

So you basically don’t see a few civilian employees in the entire Atlas Industry.

The same is true for private military companies, mining companies, and the newly established Engineering Construction and Development Co., Ltd.

Lilith is responsible for completing 90% of the clerical work, and everyone else only needs to focus on the work in their hands.

Under this background of eliminating the "human interference" factor to the greatest extent, Atlas Group's human efficiency ratio has reached the extreme, and the speed of progress of various projects is completely unimaginable by other organizations and forces.

Other companies, even the federal government, or the 'feudal dictatorship' of the Star Dragon Empire, will have the same doubt after seeing the work efficiency of the Atlas Group's '8-hour work system'.

"Does this kind of efficiency really exist?"

As Atlas continues to develop according to the blueprint planned by Amber, the distant business alliances not only express their hope that the Federation and the Empire will restrain each other, but also continue to maintain the attitude of "watching the tiger fight from afar".

The war situation between the Federation and the Star Dragon Empire is also accelerating like the game plot in Amber's memory.

On the Star Dragon Empire side, Duke Duke and Duke William withdrew with their respective strategic fortresses and expeditionary strike groups.

On the Princess Party side, Duke Hastings and Artesia led the fleet and completed the handover with the "friendly forces" with the support of strategic fortresses.

The fleet is fully configured and the morale of the personnel is high. The two newly arrived dukes on the front line also have a certain degree of confidence in the coming battle.

Even if we can no longer complete the advance, there is still no problem in holding on to the six galaxies we have captured now, right?

But they didn't know that during the "handover" window period of the Imperial Expeditionary Force, the largest fleet so far in the war, even larger than the previous round of counterattack, had already assembled in front of them.
