Free Web NovelWhile Chen Xin's various project teams were working hard to overcome technical challenges and continuously contributing to the progress of the Southern Celestial Gate Project, the new district expansion in the new city was already completed.
Of course, the expanded new district cannot be described as spacious and comfortable, as it was designed primarily as a residential settlement area, and in the current environment, sacrificing living space for comfort is not feasible.
However, overall, it's still a satisfying new district, at least those who have received housing qualifications and can move in feel very satisfied.
Although the entire new district appears somewhat compact and cramped in architectural planning, there's no way it could be spacious, as it's just a small dome only a quarter the size of the new city's dome, with limited area and space.
Nevertheless, the designers tried their best to make this new district aesthetically pleasing, and even went to great lengths to design green belts in various places to make the city look a bit more comfortable, rather than like a steel jungle.
All buildings in the new district are designed in a cross shape to better capture sunlight, which gives the new district a unique aesthetic.
"Currently, the occupancy rate of the new district has reached 70%. Residents who have obtained housing qualifications are actively moving in, and on the main city side, efforts are being made to clear out vacated movable houses and some temporary buildings. Overall, everything is progressing smoothly." In Chen Xin's office, Tang Tang was reporting the situation of the new city via teleconference.
Just as they had planned before, some of the residents who obtained living qualifications moved to the new district, freeing up space in the main city.
This freed-up space is partly for relocating people originally crowded in movable housing or temporarily constructed buildings, and partly for reconstruction based on previous municipal meeting plans.
After such changes, although the living environment in the new city cannot be said to have greatly improved, it has improved significantly compared to before.
Moreover, the newly planned city and functional areas can make the city better and more rational, making life more convenient for the residents.
"Sounds nice, did the municipal part encounter any trouble?" Chen Xin asked Tang Tang with concern.
He knew how much work could be involved in such large-scale reallocation of housing and adjustments to the living environment, even though a lot of preparatory work had been done before, including some disclosures.
But things in this world are never about having too little, but about inequality – no matter how small the allocated house is, it's a new house!
And not everyone gets a house; if someone gets a house, naturally someone else doesn't.
Although the country now has strong execution power and is more supported by its citizens than any other historical period, when it comes to matters involving personal interests, no one can guarantee there won't be disturbances.
In response to this, Tang Tang shook her head and said, "Not a big deal, although indeed some people expressed dissatisfaction and caused a scene at the municipal office entrance, it wasn't serious, just isolated incidents.
Municipal staff would advise them to leave, and if warnings were ignored, the police would directly arrest them for creating disturbances, without causing much trouble."
"That's good, but still remind the municipal office to handle issues carefully and avoid being too rough, which could lead to irreversible consequences." Chen Xin felt it necessary to remind the municipal office about handling issues appropriately.
Though it's said that during turbulent times harsh measures are taken and extraordinary policies are implemented during extraordinary times, the potential impact should nonetheless be considered. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
"I'll pass the message on to them, but I believe there's little need to worry about the municipal office. They're experienced old cadres, and they won't have issues in this regard," Tang Tang understood Chen Xin's concern but wasn't overly worried.
After discussing the new district, the two talked a bit about work matters, then Chen Xin asked, "By the way, how's the upgrade and renovation of research institutions on the new city's side going? Didn't we plan to take advantage of municipal renovations to renovate the existing office buildings and improve the office environment and research conditions? How's it going?"
"Everything is going smoothly. The offices are being renovated, with many new additions, and the office network has been reorganized. They've also added many new instruments and equipment, which everyone is excited about." Mentioning this, Tang Tang became increasingly joyful and eager, telling Chen Xin enthusiastically, "Once the new office building is completed, I'll definitely pick an office with big windows!"
"Anyway, it's you who manages office allocations, you can choose whatever spot you want for yourself." Chen Xin was indifferent to this; with the sun shining again, having an office with windows has become desirable once more, as everyone wants a bright and sunny office.
Unlike before, rooms with windows were relatively colder and not comfortable.
"Then I'll choose the best one for myself," Tang Tang said jokingly, although she didn't actually plan to reserve the best office for herself, she did want to choose a room with large windows and good lighting.
The two chatted casually a bit more before ending the call.
After hanging up with Tang Tang, Chen Xin leaned back in his chair and asked Xi Yao to pull up the recent work plans and research progress.
As the overall head of the Southern Celestial Gate Project, Chen Xin had a lot of work every day. Although Xi Yao's operations meant many things didn't need his direct involvement, the project research progress was something he had to pay attention to and understand.
Currently, the research progress of the Southern Celestial Gate Project meets expectations; the various theoretical foundations are almost complete, and many project teams have started making technical verification machines for their projects.
This also led to a long schedule for the base's two large 3D printing devices. Several project teams reported to him requesting higher priority, asking that their printing plans be prioritized. freewebnσvel.cѳm
Chen Xin didn't want to meddle in such matters. If he preferentially approved any plan, more people would come asking him to open back doors.
Thus, he sent back all application reports, leaving the scheduling and prioritization of 3D printing equipment to Xi Yao to comprehensively adjust according to the project's importance and current queue order, ensuring absolute fairness and justice through AI.
This approach from Chen Xin indeed resolved disputes; after all, AI has no favoritism, and programs are immune to corruption, thus everyone complied with Xi Yao's allocation.
Even though Chen Xin retained the authority to modify Xi Yao's allocation results, no one came to him requesting project prioritization anymore.
