The first week after the lord's return was relatively relaxed. The planning was handled by the AI, so he only needed to observe the results. Although he had purchased so many supplies, the player base hadn't expanded yet, so everything was temporarily stockpiled, and it wasn't time to make any big moves.
The main problem for Xi Ye right now was how to expand the population!
The current base could only support a maximum of ten thousand citizens. To recruit more, he first needed to expand the base's size. The base size wasn't a big issue, as he had bought enough large Base Vehicles from the Wine Immortal Lord. The thirty billion worth of supplies was enough for him to create several sizable cities on this Mars!
However, there were a few issues. The first was the lack of instructor resources. Even with just the players in the base, scheduling instructors was extremely tight. These newly recruited instructors had to work at least twelve hours a day, which, although it was easy teaching work, clearly exceeded the Federation's regulated working hours. He hadn't even mentioned overtime pay, and this would definitely erode the employees' enthusiasm in the long run.
To expand the population, he first needed to recruit more instructors, or there wouldn't be enough educational resources. However, it was difficult for a newly established lord like him to recruit people. He had posted on the Talent Network for a week, and nothing had come of it. It seemed he could only keep an eye on the website for other recruitment events.
The AI's suggestion was to implement a point-based system, where new players had to work over 200 hours before they could apply for teaching, like the old players. This method could solve the immediate problem, but it wasn't a long-term solution, so recruiting people was urgent.
Another problem was the D Planet Federation's monitors and probes on Mars.
Xi Ye had chosen a location that hadn't been explored by any of the Federation's countries, but once large-scale construction began, it would inevitably be discovered. How to avoid these people was a problem.
With the level of technology he possessed, shielding the probes and monitors wasn't a big issue, but what if people landed on Mars?
The D Planet Federation's current technology already had the ability to leave the Solar System. According to data secretly investigated by the AI, more than 30 countries could land on Mars. The AI suggested creating accidents when they landed, but Xi Ye didn't agree.
Xi Ye, who regarded everyone on Planet D as his personal property, didn't want to lose even one future golden citizen, especially the high-end talents who could become astronauts.
In this developing civilization, those who could become astronauts were often excellent in terms of knowledge reserves, application ability, and various other aspects. They possessed an inherently high-capacity and excellent physique, coupled with their acquired qualities, making them rare talents for him, and he certainly didn't want to lose any.
Unless he could create an accident and capture them, but that operation was quite difficult. He had to create an accident that would make the D Planet contact station believe it was a normal air crash, and then quickly rescue the people from the spaceship after the signal was interrupted, which required a very precise plan.
If the players could complete the task of preventing the virus outbreak successfully, he could try to have them organize this task later!
Speaking of tasks, Xi Ye suddenly remembered that it seemed there was only a week left until the task deadline. He wondered how the players' training was progressing.
Xi Ye originally wanted to directly look at the test data provided by the AI, but after thinking about it, the data was only superficial. If he really wanted to understand the players' progress, he had to ask the instructors. With that thought, Xi Ye quickly walked towards the Main Training Field.
The Main Training Field was built on a flat area not far from the Main Base. Considering the need to quickly start teaching, Xi Ye had pre-purchased some well-equipped training grounds, so that these highly paid employees wouldn't have nothing to do when they arrived.
The scale of the training ground was F-grade, but it was more than enough to train some first-level lifeforms, and Xi Ye had bought high-end equipment... at least that's what the goblin told him.
The training ground was very large, with three floors, covering an area of nearly tens of thousands of square meters. The material used was level three Black Cloud Steel, with excellent texture. The interior was paved with seamless Crystal Cloud Tiles, using the Bronze Clan's professional Rune Tempering Technology, which was both sturdy and beautiful, and also extremely comfortable to step on.
At least on the surface, it was worth the price... he shouldn't have been ripped off... Xi Ye thought to himself.
The hall on the first floor was mainly for the Titans to do strength training, and was full of equipment for training physical fitness and muscles.
In the hall, Chief Instructor Zanda was solemnly teaching a group of new Titans to perform standardized training.
Xi Ye didn't disturb them, but waited quietly on the side. He knew the instructor was busy, and the citizens who spent points to apply for class time certainly didn't want to be disturbed either.
So he stood quietly for nearly half an hour. After Zanda announced their free training, he slowly walked over.
Zanda quickly stood up straight and said respectfully, "Lord!"
Zanda's respect was from the bottom of his heart, partly because he was very satisfied with his current job. The quality of these Green Titans far exceeded his imagination, and they were extremely easy to teach. Moreover, it wasn't just one or two who were excellent. He was sure that as long as these Green Titans were slightly polished, each of them would be a good player in the arena!
The second reason was the obedience of these high-quality citizens to the lord. To be honest, it was the first time he had seen citizens who were so active in both work and training. If these natives weren't too simple, it could only mean that this lord was good at management.
Either way, it represented that this new force had a promising future!
"How do you feel, Zanda? Are you getting used to it?" Xi Ye asked gently.
"Getting used to it, getting used to it!" Zanda nodded with a simple and honest smile. The environment here wasn't as bad as he had imagined. The climate temperature difference was far superior to that of ordinary level eight planets. Although he didn't understand construction courses very well, he also knew that a planet with this kind of environment could be easily transformed into a habitable level seven planet with a little modification. Moreover, both the base facilities and the training ground facilities were very good, and the working environment wasn't bad. The only drawback was the food problem. Everyone was still eating nutrient solutions, and although these nutrient solutions were of good quality, they weren't very good in terms of taste or long-term effects on the body.
"How are these little guys training? Are there any outstanding ones?" Xi Ye asked with a smile.
Although he couldn't see the lord's smile, Zanda could tell that the lord was in a good mood, so he grinned and said, "They are all outstanding. Their muscles are growing very well, and there are no deformities. The potential of active cells in their bodies is huge. These past few days, I've only helped them release those cells a little, and these kids are growing like they're on a spaceship. To be honest, I initially thought the few you brought back last time were models, but it turns out that all your people are at this level. The tolerance of these natives is probably no less than fifteen percent, right?"
Hehe..." Xi Ye smiled slightly, but did not answer.
Seeing that the lord didn't answer this question, Zanda didn't mind, and instead started talking about food.
"Lord, you need to prepare a lot of fresh meat as soon as possible. After the cell activity of these children is released, their bodies will have great needs. Nutritional fluid alone will have a great impact on their future growth."
Xi Ye nodded solemnly upon hearing this. The cultivation of warriors is inseparable from fresh meat, and if he wants to cultivate high-quality Green Titans, he needs high-quality meat. It seems that he will have to go to the Advanced Farm he just bought later.
But before that, he had to ask about the specific cultivation status of the top-ranked Green Titans.
