People's thoughts and behaviors are always changing.

A few years ago, Lynch would have adjusted his sitting position, put his head on the headrest and enjoyed the comfort of a high-end car.

But now, he doesn't do that.

Reaching middle age is not just a matter of a person's age. In fact, there are many other problems, but they are not so obvious.

He took Landa's hand and said, "If you have any questions, you can ask them now..."

Landa looked a little aggrieved, "You asked me to do it before."

Faced with this answer, Lin Qi didn't know how to answer for a while. Landa smiled again when he saw this, and then unzipped his zipper skillfully.

After a while, she tidied herself up and sat down again. Lin Qi looked a little helpless.

After all...you are middle-aged.

"You said...do I have a chance to be governor?" Landa's eyes sparkled.

It stands to reason that now that the feminist organization is firmly in her hands, she is already satisfied with her current situation, but Lynch did not expect that she still has not forgotten the idea of ​​"official career".

He frowned, "Why do you think you might become governor?"

Landa’s view is simple, “If Trish can be governor, so can I!”

After taking control of the financial power, everyone became obedient. She felt that she was capable and courageous.

It is precisely because she now holds actual power that she feels the sweetness of power!
Within the institution, she is now like the queen of an independent kingdom, and no one dares to go against her will!
This is completely different from when she first came on stage, when she was like a decoration.

Ms. Tracey can also remotely control the heads of various organizations through the phone. They are also responsible to Ms. Tracey, but they only regard her as the president on the surface.

Later, Ms. Tracy's control gradually declined, and these people went their own way and ignored her.

Through these years of struggle and hard work, she finally became the final winner, and because of this she felt more charm in power!
That feeling cannot be described in words!

When she heard that Lynch could ask Ms. Tracey to go to Marillo to be the governor, but Ms. Tracey refused, she was moved again!

Ms. Tracy doesn’t want to go, but she is willing to go!
She even thought that it would be better to put it on Marillo's side. It was further away from the core area of ​​​​the Federation and the transmission of information and other information was not so convenient.

In addition, it is the federal "host state" in Marillo. From top to bottom, half are federal people and half are Marillo people.

And Lynch's influence in Marillo is also quite large, which means that she only needs to get rid of those federal people, and she can secure her position as governor!
It is better to say that he is a governor than the king of a small kingdom!
Landa, who already had these thoughts, became even more eager to act, which is why he needed Lynch to spit it out first!

On this kind of issue, whoever cannot hold on will suffer some losses.

Lin Qi thought for a while and shook his head, "You can't do it. You are different from her."

"She has a political base, you have nothing."

Landa also wanted to highlight the ways in which they were similar, but Lynch directly pointed out the ways in which she was inferior to Ms. Tracey.

"Her father is a veteran mayor. Although he is just a mayor, he has worked for half his life."

"He has many good friends within the party and in the political arena. I don't see anything special about these relationships, but they are very helpful for her to enter the political arena."

"In addition, her uncle was the patriarch of a large region before he retired, and with the power of politics and theocracy, she has already stood at the finish line of many people."

"So she has no problem being the mayor or the governor, but you, Landa, please tell me, what do you have?"

"Is there anyone who can be your support in the political arena?"

"When you need it, will they stand up and speak for you and support your decision?"

Landa does not come from a middle-class family background. Her parents have retired, and their monthly retirement salary adds up to less than 1000 yuan.

It may seem like a lot, but it's actually not much at all.

The wages of workers in the Bupen area have reached more than 550 yuan, and the income of the old couple is not as good as that of two workers.

But then again, having such a stable income when you retire is actually more than many people.

It's just that they couldn't give Landa any help on the road to politics.

"This is the fact. You still want to be governor without any foundation. It can only be said that you have not recognized the reality."

"If you want to be a mayor, I don't think it's a big problem, but on the other hand, you have to ask yourself."

"Does a mayor have as much power as you have now?"

"What if this is still a less developed city?"

"For example, in the west or a remote area?" Landa was speechless. After Lynch's straightforward explanation, she realized how far away she was from Ms. Tracy.

She once thought they were very close. Ms. Tracey had been the president, and so had she.

Ms. Tracey was very powerful when she was president, and she is very powerful now, and she has the support of capitalists and celebrities.

But she didn't expect that she was still so far behind!
At this time, she seemed a little defeated, "So there is nothing you can do?"

Lynch shook his head and decisively shattered her last illusion, "You think of these things too simply. Politics is not a simple game, Randa."

"Even if the politics you see make you think it is simple, that is just how it appears. Behind the simplicity, there is something you cannot understand."

"It's better to be your president honestly than to dive in and be kicked out..."

Although the words were a bit direct, since she still worked hard, Lynch still told the truth.

Now her life is the most comfortable, and there is no need to fall from the top of the mountain into a quagmire.

For the next period of time, Lynch was busy mobilizing resources. It was not until mid-July that interesting news came.

The department responsible for the design provided several sets of feasible plans in accordance with Lynch's requirements.

One of the designers, Nick, came up with a plan that interested Lynch.

What’s interesting is that compared to other designs, such as digging a huge hole underground and then building a city in the hole, it looks like a science fiction story.

Nick's design is obviously more realistic.

He suggested modularizing space and producing various standardized space modules through industrialized production.

The advantage of this is that it can be constructed around without restrictions, unlike traditional solutions, which are difficult to change once the design is decided.

Nick's plan can start from the "top" of the building first, and then fill in new modules while going down.

At the same time, these modular things do not require additional digging of underground space, and the pressure on the overall project is not that great!
He mentioned submarines and ant nests as great inspirations.

This solution has advantages and disadvantages, but overall, excluding those ordinary advantages and ordinary disadvantages, it has one most critical advantage——

That means the construction difficulty is very low!
The construction difficulty is low, which is a key factor for such a large project.

Lynch has also recently inquired about other people's plans. Some people just dig straight down, then hollow out one area after another, and then build buildings as if they were built on the ground, but these buildings are not too high.

Some people are directly looking for natural caves near the equator. If they can find some large underground caves, they can build cities in caves!
In this way, their project workload will become smaller and the process will be faster.

After thinking about it, Lin Qi felt that this plan was a good one.

The construction difficulty is low, and with the addition of various prefabricated parts, although it may not make the underground city look so spectacular, it is obviously enough for a place of refuge.

It's more like...a huge apartment!

There are parks, courts, and... all the necessary equipment and space in the apartment. It may be a little crowded in the living area, but it looks pretty good.

"Have these plans been proven?"

Lynch put several plans back on the table, and the person in charge shook his head, "Not yet, but we are ready."

"Because we have never done such a project, it is difficult for us to ensure that the results of our demonstration are exactly the same as the actual situation."

"But the good thing is we have plenty of time, so the idea is to pick a few that you're most happy with and then just try to do some small-scale engineering development."

Building a basement is very simple for major construction companies, and they can build even four or five floors underground.

But to build a hundred or two hundred floors underground, I'm afraid they don't have the technology and capabilities yet.

Therefore, the methods used in the past to detect whether the strength of the plan is appropriate may not be applicable to these plans.

So the simplest method is theory plus practical operation.

Lynch selected two copies and took them out separately, including the one from Nick's designer. "Just these two copies, we will get the results as soon as possible."

"There is also the issue of prefabricated parts that Nick mentioned. If there are any technical problems, please tell me as soon as possible."

There is also pressure underground, and the pressure increases the further you go down. Problems with some things can only be discovered during specific construction.

If it is difficult to operate deep underground, then the vertical projects can only be expanded horizontally on the shallow surface.

Both designs have their own advantages, but Lynch actually prefers to be more vertical and easier to manage.

Soon the two exploration teams headed to Nagaril. On the surface, they were looking for oil and mineral deposits. In fact, the purpose of their trip was to conduct practical operations and experiments on a small scale...
