After hearing Zhang He’s words, Ling Feng glanced at him: "You mean, you want me to build a school here to train my own technical talents?"

"Exactly!"

Zhang He nodded: "People from Shallow Blue Star, Panlong Nation, and the new city in outer space can all be recruited as talent."

"But these people come from agricultural societies; they don’t understand basic physics and chemistry!"

Ling Feng scratched his head and continued: "It’ll take at least a few years of training to turn them into technicians."

"That’s not necessarily true!"

Zhang He shook his head, pointing towards the factory: "There are over a hundred people recruited from Shallow Blue Star here, and in just over a month, some have mastered the use of forklifts, others have learned welding. Acquiring skills and understanding the principles go hand in hand, but you don’t necessarily need to understand the principles first to operate!"

"Wow, I didn’t expect you to have a whole theory of it!"

Ling Feng smiled in surprise, then looked at him and said: "Since that’s the case, how about you become the headmaster?"

"Uh..."

Zhang He didn’t expect to dig himself a hole, hesitated for a moment, and said: "I have indeed thought about this, but I’m not qualified to be your headmaster. However, I can recommend someone!"

"Who?"

Ling Feng asked, looking at him.

"Her!"

Zhang He pointed at a distant figure wearing work clothes and a safety helmet.

Ling Feng couldn’t recognize the figure from the back, but after looking closely, he realized it was Mu Yuhan.

She had been poached by Ling Feng from Han Wancheng, and since coming here, she had been guiding the work almost without leaving.

Seeing her, Ling Feng immediately understood Zhang He’s intention and nodded: "She really is suitable to be the headmaster!"

"Exactly, go ahead and assemble the people. The Divine Mountain base can allow them to work and learn simultaneously, and gradually select elites from them to prepare personnel for your fleet!" Zhang He said.

"Alright!"

Ling Feng nodded, feeling instantly motivated.

So he immediately went to find Mu Yuhan and explained the situation to her.

Mu Yuhan listened and agreed, saying to Ling Feng: "I have been considering this as well. We really lack people, and if possible, I’d like to expand the number of students to one hundred thousand!"

"Huh? That many!"

Ling Feng widened his eyes in surprise.

"Yes, a single spaceship requires several thousand people, and that’s even with intelligent core control. Our base also needs a large number of workers; otherwise, it’s difficult to ensure production," Mu Yuhan said.

"Okay, I’ll find a way to handle the personnel. You can organize a team dedicated to training," Ling Feng said.

"Alright, I’ll get on it right away!"

Mu Yuhan was also full of energy and nodded vigorously.

Ling Feng returned to Imperial City, found Xing He, and immediately explained his needs. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"No problem, I can issue a royal decree to recruit robust young people from various places to come to the capital!" Xing He replied.

"Not too many people, let’s start with fifty thousand. We can’t take all the labor force; families need people to farm and work too," Ling Feng said.

"Alright, then prioritize those with large family populations and extra labor force," Xing He said.

"Um, I want to learn too!"

Xing Can weakly said from the side.

Ling Feng and Xing He turned to look at her, both momentarily surprised.

Then Ling Feng smiled: "You’re a princess; how can you be a regular worker? Besides, if you go, who would dare walk alongside you among the workers of Shallow Blue Star?"

"But I want to learn how to pilot a spaceship," Xing Can said.

"In that case, if you want to learn, I’ll take you to Ah Min. She’s now very proficient in piloting a miniature spaceship; she can teach you!" Ling Feng said.

"That sounds good; Ah Min and I have a good relationship." Xing Can smiled happily.

After finalizing matters here, Ling Feng left Shallow Blue Star and went directly to outer space.

Then he found Shui Ling and explained his needs to her. Shui Ling immediately agreed to provide him with ten thousand people.

With this, he had sixty thousand people, and for the remaining forty thousand, Ling Feng planned to get them from Panlong Nation, but this matter needed a good discussion with Tu Kong. He wasn’t sure if Tu Kong would agree.

Through the Star Chain teleportation, Ling Feng arrived at Panlong City and immediately saw the bustling construction scene outside the city.

He had previously promised Tu Kong to build a factory here, and personnel and equipment were already in place. Panlong City had allocated land, and a large number of local residents were participating in the construction.

Moreover, Ling Feng didn’t need to pay these people’s wages; Tu Kong was responsible for that.

Ling Feng swept his divine sense around and saw Tu Kong on the city wall of Panlong City.

He was sitting in a chair, watching the construction site with great interest.

At the same time, Ling Feng saw two people beside him, none other than Yang Da and Yang Er.

The two were standing silently and solemnly, without moving.

Ling Feng felt curious, so he walked over towards them.

Before he got close, Tu Kong seemed to sense something and turned his head to look in Ling Feng’s direction.

Upon seeing Ling Feng, he immediately stood up and greeted him with a cheerful wave.

Seeing this, Ling Feng leapt up, directly onto the city wall, walked over, and said, "Why are you being a supervisor here?"

"Watching those machines work is a pleasure!"

Tu Kong smiled and said: "These things are amazing; the work that would take us at least a year with manual labor is done by machines in just a few days!"

"Of course, mechanical power is very strong!" Ling Feng nodded.

"Mr. Ling, is there something you need this time?" Tu Kong asked.

He then saw Ling Feng glance at Yang Da and Yang Er, and quickly said: "These two have already been punished by me, demoted to the lowest position. They are responsible for odd jobs now."

Ling Feng understood immediately and was not surprised that they seemed dispirited and dared not look at him.

He didn’t say much, just smiled and then said: "This time I’m here because I need to ask you for something!"

"What is it?"

Tu Kong asked.

"I need personnel on my end, and I’d like to borrow some people from you. Those with cultivation experience would be ideal, but it’s fine even if they don’t have it."

Ling Feng said, then explained the reason for needing talents.

Upon hearing that Ling Feng already had reserves of sixty thousand people and needed a further forty thousand from him, Tu Kong was momentarily stunned. Then, after a brief thought, he nodded: "Sure, not just forty thousand, even if you want to take all ten thousand, I can provide them!"

"Thanks much, but I only need forty thousand for the time being; we’re still in the reserve phase, and we don’t need that many people yet," Ling Feng smiled.
