Starting as a Wallfacer, his defection to the Three-Body Problem shocked the world.

Chapter 387 The Leaning Tower Project, launched!

Three months after the Leaning Tower of Pisa project began, humanity had completely evacuated from Earth and moved into the Ringworld.

On Earth today, apart from a few environmental watchmen from the Bureau of Ecology and Environment maintaining the environment on their home planet, there is no other living person to be seen.

Maintaining human habitation conditions on Earth is difficult, especially during long-distance interstellar travel, making it even more challenging.

If an asteroid were to collide with Earth, countless people would die.

So Bi Yunfeng ordered officials at all levels of the local government to use both soft and hard tactics to persuade these people to move out. Those who were really unwilling to leave were made to contribute to the local population planning movement.

I can kill you, but you absolutely cannot die from a natural disaster; that's a matter of political principle.

If the outside world knew that I, Bi Yunfeng, was someone who disregarded the safety of the people, my public support would drop significantly.

Even a great hero like Luo Congmin, who has saved all mankind countless times, only had a public approval rating of 64.5% during her term of office. Bi Yunfeng didn't even dare to imagine how low his approval rating would drop if he ignored the loss of life caused by natural disasters.

“Great, this way we can save some money.”

Bi Yunfeng crossed out an item on the electronic notebook with a pen, and the amount in the national treasury immediately changed from a green negative number to a red positive number.

Now, he has completed the unification of the party within the Earth Alliance, and most of the middle and lower-level officials have been replaced by his confidants, which makes his orders no longer as disregarded as before.

During his time as president, Bi Yunfeng worked overtime almost every day and finally managed to settle all the mess left by Luo Congmin's era. The per capita GDP also increased several times compared to the Pioneer Era.

However, this was not because Bi Yunfeng had any brilliant strategies for governing the country, but rather because the malignant tumors in the Earth Alliance had been temporarily cleared away.

The Earth Alliance reached its peak during the Broadcasting Era.

However, with the start of the pioneering era, the Luo Congmin government faced both the pressure of building the ring world and the rampant corruption and extortion by corrupt officials within the government, leaving everyone overwhelmed.

Luo Congmin did try to thoroughly investigate these issues, but in the end, all his investigations were half-hearted.

Because there isn't a single clean person within the Earth Alliance. If you dare to sentence a corrupt official to death today, when you go to jail tomorrow, no one will sympathize with you.

Therefore, Luo Congmin's several self-inspection efforts were not ideal. Unless she was determined to fight these officials to the death and directly access their thoughts using her super-powered database, there was simply no way to bring them to justice.

This truly proves the saying: there are no corrupt officials, it's just a bunch of people fighting amongst themselves.

But after Bi Yunfeng took office, he no longer needed to worry about so much. After obtaining the list of corrupt officials, Bi Yunfeng immediately started the "King of Hell's Inspection" mode, dealing with more than 127,000 officials of all ranks within a year.

At its peak, the courtroom would have corrupt officials stand in rows according to the amount of money they embezzled, and then sentence them in batches, like an assembly line.

In this way, the problem of corruption was solved, the population problem was alleviated, and a huge wave of public support was gained, achieving three goals at once.

However, this is only temporary because it is a temporary solution that does not address the root cause of the problem.

Cao Bin got up, rummaged through his wine cabinet for a while, and finally fixed his gaze on a bottle of red wine with the words "2025" printed on it.

He carefully took it out and waved it at Bi Yunfeng behind him.

"Try it. I bought it casually in the 18th year of the Crisis Era. I thought it was pretty good at the time. More than 300 years have passed in the blink of an eye. I wonder if the taste is still as amazing as it was back then."

As he spoke, he took out two wine glasses and poured the wine from the bottle into them. Surprisingly, the wine was not red, but a strange green.

Upon seeing this, Bi Yunfeng frowned.

"Has this red wine gone bad? Why has it turned this color?"

Cao Bin smiled and said, "You don't understand, do you? In the past, these wines always had copper labels inside, but over time, the old copper was replaced, and what was left was oxidized."

"So it's not a problem with the red wine, it's just that the copper inside is faulty, and it's no longer red."

"I really don't understand. Oxygen is oxygen, and copper is copper. Why does copper, which was perfectly fine before, have to combine with oxygen? Now it's turned into ugly copper oxide."

Hearing Cao Bin's words, Bi Yunfeng couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"What about me?"

"No, I was just talking to you about wine," Cao Bin said innocently.
