Chapter 48: Personnel Arrival, Group Reorganization, Military Contractors
After a long voyage, the transporters finally arrived in the continent of Black Africa.
The landing site was not on the coast, but directly near the Star Group.
An airport has been built there specifically for aircraft to take off and land.
In terms of scale, this airport is not large, but it was jointly built by Xingchen Group and Dongda University, so there is no need to worry about safety.
Even so, for safety reasons, a large number of air defense facilities are deployed around the airport, which are usually hidden underground.
As the transporter landed, a group of students also got off and saw the bus parked not far away.
"Welcome to Black Continent, everyone. This is the controlled area of the Star Group. The building not far away is the headquarters of the Star Group. You will be living and working there for some time to come. I hope you will not be disappointed."
Now, please take your luggage, as we will be taking a bus to the group headquarters.
As Mike's voice rang out, everyone began packing their luggage, preparing to disembark.
After a headcount was taken at the vehicle, everyone boarded smoothly and headed towards the Star Group.
The airport wasn't far from the headquarters building, so it didn't take long for several buses to pull up there.
Led by Mike, everyone entered a building next to the headquarters building.
This area is specifically designated for these new employees.
The room is fully equipped with all the necessary living facilities, and everyone has a single room, so you don't have to live with others.
Of course, if a couple is hired together, they will also have two rooms, but they can apply for a larger room.
However, Fang Heng also considered the possibility of the couple breaking up in the future. Therefore, if the couple breaks up and wants to own this small apartment again, they will need to use contribution points to exchange for it.
The exchange price isn't expensive either; it only requires 1,000 points.
These newly hired students may not understand how much 1000 points is, but they will understand after working for a while.
After a night's rest, everyone was gathered together the next day. They needed to enter the headquarters' biological laboratory for physical examinations to eliminate any diseases or genetic defects.
Although this is an onboarding benefit, and these people are selected through tests so their character is guaranteed, in order not to waste resources, they first sign a 5-year employment contract with a penalty for breach of contract, in order to prevent them from resigning shortly after joining the company.
Fang Heng is not a bad person, but he doesn't run a charity here. If everyone did this, he might as well not hire anyone and just treat people for free.
Therefore, Fang Heng did not specify some hidden punishments. As long as some things are not brought to the forefront, there is not much of a problem.
Soon, after everyone had completed their physical examinations, some people with minor health problems, such as kidney deficiency, found that after receiving a strengthening injection, all their problems disappeared.
As for recessive genetic defects, they cannot be cured in a short time.
Take these people to complete their onboarding procedures first, and they can come back for treatment after the procedures are completed.
Fang Heng is also preparing to reorganize the Xingchen Group.
As the number of natural humans increases, companies also need to readjust the structure of their various departments.
Time passed slowly, and a week later, the new company structure was finalized.
First is the president's office, a department exclusively for Fang Heng. He is naturally the president, and the vice president is a subroutine left by Ethan, which Fang Heng named Xingchen.
In addition, there is a team of assistants and secretaries belonging to the president's office, consisting of three assistants and seven secretaries, for a total of ten people.
Below the president's office are the business units.
Based on the current research staff, the institute has been divided into six departments: Mechanical Engineering, Physics, Materials Chemistry, Biology, Sociology, and Energy.
There are seven secretaries, six of whom are responsible for communication between these business units.
The remaining secretary, along with the three assistants, was responsible for handling Fang Heng's daily affairs.
Of these six departments, the Mechanical Engineering Division is specifically responsible for the research and development of artificial intelligence and unmanned machinery, as well as research related to engineering structure technology. It is a comprehensive department.
The Physics Division primarily engages in theoretical research, such as high-energy physics and fundamental physics, as well as other physics-related research.
The Materials Chemistry Division is specifically responsible for the research and development of new materials and chemistry-related research.
The Biology Division is responsible for research in the field of biology, and its current research focus is on high-yield crops and insect research.
The Sociology Department is a department that involves the humanities, mainly studying social structures and relationships. Although its role may not be immediately apparent, it is of great help in establishing the social structure of a region later on.
The Energy Division is responsible for energy-related matters. Its main goal at present is to thoroughly understand the relevant information on nuclear fusion and be able to build a fusion core on its own.
Because these business units are all engaged in scientific research, Fang Heng also put a lot of thought into their internal personnel structure and configuration.
In terms of staffing, there will be one minister and two deputy ministers to coordinate the work of the entire department, while the research staff will be paid according to their research level.
Among them, the minister will be the leader of the entire department, and all of them will be S-level researchers, who are currently the heads of various research laboratories.
The minister is only a part-time position, precisely to give these top scientists certain authority so that they don't end up giving unqualified people guidance during research.
The two deputy ministers below are mainly responsible for administrative and logistical work. Fang Heng consulted the scientists on whether to use clones for these positions.
After learning about the clone's current situation, they all felt that having the clone take on the role was a good choice, so they all agreed to Fang Heng's proposal.
Therefore, both of these deputy ministers were clones.
Next are the various research groups.
Apart from the Biotechnology Division and the Robotics Division, the other divisions are not well-staffed, and in addition to training new employees, no grouping has been done.
However, according to the plan, these business units will subsequently have multiple research groups, each responsible for research in different directions.
This is in the scientific research aspect.
Besides scientific research, there is also production, which is simple. There is only one production division, which is dedicated to managing manufacturing-related work.
In Fang Heng's eyes, the real economy is a very important department, so he did not prepare to appoint a natural person as the minister, but directly used a clone.
Due to the secrecy surrounding the moon, the production division is currently just an empty shell. The land for the factory has been prepared, and the robot construction corps is already building the factory. Once completed and the equipment is installed, it will be officially operational.
With the widespread adoption of artificial intelligence and robots, Fang Heng doesn't have a great need for workers. So, he only needs to recruit a small number of technicians, train them, and then they can be responsible for equipment maintenance.
Locals were excluded from these recruitment efforts, as Fang Heng believed that farm tools should be in the fields, not in factories.
After production and scientific research were arranged, the last thing was military affairs.
Fang Heng now wants to develop Xingchen Group into a military contractor, so the military aspect is indispensable.
Unlike the traditional military contractors who employ workers, Fang Heng's military force is primarily composed of clones, with only a small number of commanders being natural persons.
The enhanced cloning technology greatly improves the physical fitness and military skills of the clones, making them excellent as warriors.
Unfortunately, this is not without its flaws. The enhanced clones are somewhat single-minded and straightforward, making them only suitable as warriors.
However, the number of commanders was still insufficient, so Fang Heng recruited some individuals to fill in temporarily. As for the actual troop commanders, Fang Heng planned to use dispatched personnel.
Unlike clones created from a genetically engineered embryo, the creation of hybrid humans begins with an infant or child.
Thanks to Jiang Feng's involvement, the biological gene technology obtained from the biochemical world has made great strides, which is why this technology was successfully developed.
As for the individuals being processed, South Africa has no shortage of orphans, and the Star Group has also established an orphanage specifically to take in these orphans.
Because Fang Heng dislikes the color black, the black genes of these orphans are removed after they are sent to the conditioning machine.
These orphans will grow and develop over a year in the treatment facility, eventually becoming commanders with rich combat experience.
The initial application of virtual reality technology allows these experimental subjects in the modulation process to fully express their ideas in the virtual world.
Human thought processes faster than the speed of light, so time flows 10 times faster in the virtual world than outside.
With the addition of nutrient solution, these orphans can stay in the treatment chamber for up to a year without food or water.
The body is constantly being strengthened, the genes are being modified, and the mind is learning various kinds of knowledge and establishing correct values in the virtual world.
In the military department, Fang Heng was the rightful minister, and the other deputy ministers were in charge of administration and logistics.
As for the others, they are divided into regular legions and special forces squads.
Since it was just a preliminary idea, Fang Heng started by working on the various laboratories.
Within a week, the new employees had become familiar with the environment, so they didn't panic when they heard about the group's big moves.
In this way, over the course of a month, all the research-related business units were adjusted. What remained was the process of integration, which was a long one, but Fang Heng was not in a hurry.
