Days spent working overtime always passed … very slowly.
Fang Ning had already worked overtime for two weeks, but he still had not finished researching the Dream-Cultivation Method.
Fortunately, Sir System did not rush him because it wanted to borrow money, allowing him to crawl forward with difficulty.
While he was working overtime, the others were not idle either.
After entering the new summer, everyone seemed to have entered a fast-paced pace, and overtime became the norm.
Somewhere deep underground in China.
In a spacious underground hall, Elder Ancestor Bai, Bai Shixin, Bai Shifu, Nie Yuan, and the others sat on a high platform, facing the Greater Rat Demons that had gathered below. They were holding a special mobilization meeting.
"From today onwards, we'll work hard for a hundred days. We'll fully promote information-based management methods in the Greater Rat Clan, so that we can overtake humans!!"
Elder Ancestor Bai, who was shouting slogans on the stage, no longer had a cunning and ruthless temperament.
It was the style of a hot-blooded speaker. Every word he said was met with applause from the Greater Rat Demons below.
There were tens of thousands of local Greater Rat Demons participating in the meeting. All of them could transform into humans, and their strengths were all above Bucket-level.
As for those who had gained sapience, they could not transform into humans yet, but could understand and speak human language. There were more than ten million of them.
This was the result of Elder Ancestor Bai ordering the Greater Rat Kings underground to control their reproduction. If they were allowed to reproduce, there would be hundreds of millions of them in a month.
It was not an exaggeration to say that a pair of rats could give birth to an entire race …
Bai Shixin smiled slightly on the stage, as if he was very satisfied.
However, in reality, he had been anxious as he watched Elder Ancestor Bai's prestige among the local Greater Rat Demons, and his foundation was becoming more stable.
He was secretly calculating in his heart. Elder Ancestor Bai's mobilization speech went in one ear and out the other.
Ren Ruofeng suddenly retreated behind the scenes. He heard that his family had some problems, which made him sympathize with him.
It could not be dragged on for too long.
Once the country was officially established, it would be a rebellion if the Elder Ancestor became the leader and fought back. Historically, the success rate of a rebellion was not high, unless one had absolute power.
The power on his side was very strong, but did the Elder Ancestor not have a trump card?
There was once when Vigilante A and Bodhisattva Spirit King teamed up to bully him, but the Elder Ancestor easily resolved it.
This information technology was a clever trick he used to turn the tables.
Although the Elder Ancestor valued human technology, he could not spend the effort and time to master it. After all, he had to deal with a myriad of problems every day and did not have the energy to invest in the complicated learning of technology.
Other technologies were just means and tools, but computer technology was different. It could become the best tool to rule a race.
Bai Shixin had a deeper understanding of the true power of this technique as he continued to study it.
Originally, he only wanted to learn the principles of computing so that he could better control the spiritually-controlled mech that Ren Ruofeng would give him in the future.
But now, he had a new understanding.
By relying on computer management methods, it was entirely possible to make the Patriarch a mere figurehead, making him an existence akin to a puppet.
One had to know that no matter how strong the old ancestor was, he was only one person. He only had 24 hours in a day, and his energy was limited. It was impossible for him to manage everything.
He wanted to become a hacker, the best hacker, and control everything behind the scenes.
Once the Old Ancestor became a puppet, he would inform Ren Ruofeng to send someone to kill him. It would be a matter of time.
Just as Bai Shixin was immersed in his own fantasies, Elder Ancestor Bai raised his voice to encourage the rats below the stage.
"Everyone, don't think that this world has tens of thousands of years of human civilization, and we've only been here for a few decades. Don't be discouraged and think that we can only blindly follow the others.
"That's not the case at all! We're a blank piece of paper, we don't have as many schemes and interests as the humans.
"Information management methods can bring about earth-shattering changes to the Greater Rat Clan's production, life, military defense, and many other aspects. Our production efficiency in one day is equivalent to that of the humans for ten days!!
"We can also maximize the efficiency of resource utilization. With limited survival resources, we can raise the most rat population, and with limited cultivation resources, we can cultivate the most powerhouses!!
"The humans don't have our advantages! They're divided into hundreds of countries, big and small, and they fight each other endlessly! Even within the same country, there's endless internal strife!!
"Their resource utilization is extremely low, and their wastage is extremely serious!
"The fertility rate of their major countries is declining year by year, and it's difficult to recover. It's the complete opposite of us Greater Rats.
"They seem to be able to live under the sun, on the earth, and live a warm and comfortable life, while we can only suffer under the ground. But in reality, their resistance to the various disasters of the new era is far lower than ours!!
"Maybe in the next moment, an asteroid will hit the earth, and when we wake up, the humans above our heads will all disappear … Haha." Elder Ancestor Bai was the first to laugh as he said this.
"Hahaha!" Hearing this, the Greater Rat Demons below also laughed knowingly.
Suddenly, the entire venue was filled with a warm atmosphere.
In the beginning, most of the Greater Rat Clan were somewhat afraid of the giant humans.
After all, the cultural heritage of the humans was there, and the technological level was there. The Greater Rat Clan's existing underground industrial foundation was all stolen from the humans.
The vital energy core, geothermal power station, and 99% of the materials and parts had to be smuggled back from the humans.
In terms of individual powerhouses, they were even more incomparable.
Not to mention, the Pharos of the East was shining above their heads every day.
If it were not for the fact that the Greater Rats mostly acted as secondary recyclers of the humans' trash and did not cause trouble as a whole, the humans would not have let them go so easily.
Many of the Greater Rat Demons still remembered clearly that last year, the Greater Rats of Qi City wanted to teach the humans a lesson by digging up a lot of communication cables. In the end, they were hunted down by the humans without any power to fight back.
Now that they heard their Elder Ancestor tearing apart the advantages and disadvantages of both sides and comparing them, they were instantly filled with confidence.
Bai Shixin was also excited as he listened. Once upon a time, he also wanted to fight with the entire Greater Rat Clan, to experience the thrill of surpassing the humans bit by bit, to build an independent Greater Rat Empire, and stand proudly in this new era.
Unfortunately, Elder Ancestor Bai did not trust him, and used all kinds of methods to plot against him.
As the only person who knew the core secrets of the Elder Ancestor, he could not be of one heart and one mind with the Elder Ancestor to fight to the end.
At this moment, Bai Shixin's gaze swept across the many local Greater Rat Demons below the stage with a complicated gaze.
Most of these young Greater Rat Demons were born for more than a year, and their thoughts were like human second-year students. All of them were hot-blooded, full of energy, full of ideals, and not afraid of sacrifice.
In fact, sometimes, being a little more naive was not necessarily a bad thing. They could devote themselves to the struggle, and more or less, they would gain something.
The mobilization meeting ended quickly, and all the Greater Rat Demons were full of energy. They immediately threw themselves into the intense work, and none of them complained about being tired.
Bai Shixin, who held the title of the Information Project Supervisory Team Leader, naturally had to take the lead in working overtime.
After the meeting ended, in an office with a sign that said "Information Project Supervisory Team".
He was talking to two human engineers in rustic attire.
"Manager Liu, Manager Li, thank you for your hard work this time. If there's anything you need, feel free to let me know. If anyone doesn't cooperate with you, let me know as well. "
The two project managers, one with the surname Liu and the other with the surname Li, were both first-line software engineers.
They were both in their thirties, at the prime of their lives. They were honest people, and were sent by XXX Electronics Software Co., Ltd to serve as the project managers. They led a team of more than 20 people to help the Greater Rat Clan set up the information network.
Although Liu Gong was the project manager, he was obviously not good with words and was taciturn.
Most of the time, it was the project manager, Li Gong, who spoke.
At this moment, Li Gong replied with a smile, "It's not hard work, it's pretty good here. It's much easier than working for those people above.
"Sigh, you guys don't know, those guys above, regardless of whether they know the industry or not, they always give you a bunch of requests. It's common for a system to last for three years after being approved and changed. "
Bai Shixin smiled and listened patiently.
From the first few sentences, he knew that these two engineers did not have high EQ, but their IQ should be quite high, or else they would not be in charge of such a big project.
It seemed like they were ostracized from within their company. After all, working for demons did not have a good reputation, and they even had to risk being eaten.
However, this Li Gong was quite brave, he was not afraid of those Greater Rats.
Bai Shixin nodded and said, "Don't worry, I've already instructed the people below to listen to the two experts. According to the design concept of your system, reorganize the work flow of each department.
"After all, you've done so many projects, you're experienced, and the process standards are much better than those grassroots teams that we set up ourselves."
Hearing this, Li Gong glanced at Liu Gong, and the two of them showed joy on their faces.
By saying this, it meant that they basically did not need to modify the software, they could immediately set up a temporary server, build a demonstration environment, and start the on-site training.
While this was being trained, the hardware team could lead the Greater Rat Demons to start setting up the hardware environment.
It was nothing more than setting up the server room, setting up the local area network, installing personal computers, and connecting the various departments physically.
To them, these were all projects that were experienced, it was a walk in the park, and there was no difficulty at all.
After the training was done, they could go online one by one.
Just like what Elder Ancestor Bai said, a blank piece of paper was good for drawing.
The Greater Rat Clan did not have historical data, so they did not have to worry about data migration when they went online, which saved a lot of work.
Therefore, Li Gong said gratefully, "Leader Bai is so easy to talk to, looks like we don't have to work overtime anymore."
Bai Shixin immediately smiled and said, "Of course, most of the work still has to be done by my subordinates, after all, you guys will have to leave eventually. When the training starts in the future, you guys can teach me in advance, then I'll keep an eye on them, just in case someone doesn't learn honestly. "
Li Gong immediately said gratefully, "That's great, thank you for your understanding and cooperation, I believe we will be able to complete this project efficiently and smoothly."
Bai Shixin chuckled, then looked at his watch and said, "It's getting late, let's have an opening banquet today and have a good drink with our brothers, then we'll officially start work tomorrow."
The two engineers immediately nodded in agreement, then called their brothers to come over.
They had worked hard in the company for more than ten years, but they could not even save enough for a down payment on a house, this time they were going all out.
Humans die for money, birds die for food; with a great reward, there will always be brave men.
When the company recruited candidates internally, the other project managers were not willing to come, so only the two of them signed up, then they encouraged the entire project team to join.
Working for the Greater Rats did not sound good, but the project reward was high, and there would definitely be additional benefits, the Greater Rats really did not lack money.
Most people did not know how profitable recycling was.
Once the Greater Rats appeared, many of the city's garbage cans were all contracted by them.
Garbage disposal was now the pillar industry of their race, it could be exchanged for a large amount of legal foreign exchange from humans.
Other things aside, gold and other precious metals could be extracted from electronic waste, and they could directly earn hard currency.
