Blending of Planes: I am leisurely farming

In the afternoon, Sebastian sauntered over to start his day's work.

Besides, he had been running around these days to build a network, looking for information and going to the city to inquire about the relevant costs with the operators.

This matter is indeed troublesome. The results of the consultation are like a bucket of cold water poured over one's head. There are some things that you have no idea how difficult they are unless you try them yourself.

Sebastian was exhausted by this and shook his head and sighed.

First of all, after all, you have to connect to the local operator's network and obtain an Internet access license, which is not something you can do alone. However, after some inquiries, no operator was willing to invest in building a network in this remote mountainous area.

The remaining option was to hire the operators to set it up at his own expense, but the receptionists were undecided, Sebastian himself had no connections, and even if he could meet with the top management, he didn't have enough money to do it.

Based on his experience these days, the several methods he envisioned were not optimistic.

The first one is fixed broadband network.

If you pull an optical fiber or copper fiber from the nearest city to Pelican Town, the straight-line distance is about 100 kilometers, and there are many mountains in between.

The cost of this plan is simply an astronomical figure, and it cannot be completed without hundreds of millions of dollars.

Although there is the precedent of the Joja Group's optical fiber, it covers the entire area along the Stardew Mountains, not just Pelican Town.

Hundreds of millions of dollars invested just for a small town network of 4000 people, no one would agree to such a crazy decision. Sean thought that even if Lewis knew his decision, he would persuade him to invest the money in areas that would be of greater help to Pelican Town.

As for negotiating with the Joja Group to pull a fiber optic line from them, Sean directly ruled out the idea of ​​putting his neck under the knife of others and hoping for mercy.

"I told you, this first plan won't work at all." Sebastian muttered to Sean.

The second type is satellite communication.

First of all, renting a commercial communication satellite is not just a matter of money. Without this access, it’s useless. Even if we take a step back, the cost of renting equipment is not low, and the signal may not be stable.

If you encounter bad weather or something, the Internet will most likely be disconnected. In addition, the ground facilities for receiving satellite signals cost money, and the cost of subsequent maintenance is also high. You have to find professional technicians to do it, which is not a long-term solution.

"This is also very troublesome, and the effect is not very good." Sebastian reported with a frown.

The only way is to build a signal base station and use repeaters along the way to ensure that the signal is not lost. While connected to the mobile signal, use WiFi to broadcast live online.

However, this plan is also very expensive, because the repeaters and some base stations are set up along the road, which are not within the scope of Pelican Town. It is also necessary to coordinate with relevant departments along the road, and spend various human, material and financial resources. In addition, it is difficult to get the green light from various departments without certain relationships and organizational coordination.

As the saying goes, one dies before accomplishing one's goal. The feasibility report of Pelican Town building a network is simply not feasible.

Sebastian looked at Sean who was reading the report and said, "Sean, this won't work at all. Are we going to use our super powers to rush through?"

"We can't hold the operator's CEO hostage and force him to agree." He was frowning, speaking in anger because of the bad luck he had encountered in the past few days.

"Calm down, have you forgotten what the manual says? Do you not want to awaken your ability?" Sean smiled at Sebastian. Sebastian, who was always sullen, must have been rejected a lot in the past few days.

When he heard Sean threaten him with awakening superpowers, he immediately defended himself: "No, I was just saying that out of anger. This is too aggrieved."

Sean comforted him: "Time is on our side. Look at how great the advantages are after having super powers. Difficulties are only temporary."

"But..." Sebastian hesitated.

He was unwilling to accept that his first attempt at something ended up like this, and it was obvious that in his heart he did not take credit for establishing the fertilizer production line.

Sean looked at Sebastian, who looked frustrated and unwilling. "Sebastian, you've been working hard during this period. How about this? I'll give you a day off today so you can have a good rest."

Sebastian was stunned for a moment, as if he wanted to say something but didn't know where to start.

"Thank you, I do need to adjust my mindset. I'm not used to dealing with people yet." After a while, he said slowly, then turned around and said goodbye.

Only when Sebastian's footsteps disappeared did Sean pick up the research report again and start reading it.

Yes, Sean has confessed to Shane and Sebastian about his super powers and promised to help them awaken their super powers.

Of course, this has a prerequisite. They must memorize and strictly abide by the original version of the Code of Conduct for Superpowers, then sign a series of confidentiality agreements, and then be recommended by three recommenders (the two recommenders are Sean, Maru and Abby).

After obtaining the qualifications for awakening abilities, they will be reviewed and approved by the review team (currently the review team only consists of Sean). After a period of observation, Sean will guide them to build magic circuits and try to gain superpowers.

This recommender system can easily create a breeding ground for power, and Sean is aware of the drawbacks of small groups, so it is only a transitional policy.

The purpose is to establish this slightly solidaristic policy to ensure the purity of the team and give early followers a certain opportunity to build their own forces and gain benefits.

After all, if we really want to be selfless, how can some elderly people like Grandma Evelyn compete with young people?

Moreover, this system will also stimulate the desire of subordinates to strive to a certain extent. After all, obtaining the qualification of a recommender will gain countless benefits.

Sean knew clearly that he had to end this strategy before it became too out of control and replace it with a universal suffrage policy with a unified standard that was of a screening nature.

There is also an observation period, and Sebastian and Shane are currently in the observation period.

The purpose of setting this observation period is to see whether a person's mentality is stable after he or she is about to gain superpowers. Just like a person may be fine originally, but once he or she gains power, he or she may lose himself or herself.

During the observation period, some stress-resistant measures will be appropriately implemented to test whether the observed subject has a calm attitude towards this.

At present, Shane and Sebastian have performed very well and have passed the preliminary test. Sean plans to try to let them absorb the "magic factor" on a certain day.

Sean is not in a hurry to build the network. As I said just now, there are other places in Pelican Town that are more worthy of investment, such as transportation construction.

Blast the mountain to build a tunnel to connect to the outside world, which will shorten the journey to the outside world to less than one hour, and continue to go deeper into the mountains to connect with the desert areas blocked by the mountains; and restore the operation of the railway.

These are more effective than building a network. After all, the land in Pelican Town is far from being developed due to its conditions, and the output of the land can be absorbed by any small county.

Therefore, organizing logistics and finding good buyers to sell at a good price are the top priorities before the autumn harvest.

The so-called network building is just the icing on the cake, and the survey is just Sean's assessment of the overall situation.

Maybe by then Maru will have developed another system for transmitting signals.

However, Las Modes and the Explorers' Guild are strictly supervised, and it is a bit troublesome to have no say in routine affairs without the help of relevant departments.

The little devils are difficult to deal with, and sometimes having a friend in the middle can really save a lot of effort.

Sean wondered if he could find someone to tie up his personal relationship with. After thinking about it, he thought of two directions. One was Deputy Mayor Geller. From the letters exchanged between Ginger and Geller, he learned that Geller's family was a powerful force.

Then there is Petra, whose mentor Sean found out that she is a person of a certain status.

As for the badge given by Narasmodes, Sean didn't consider it. Before he had a certain strength, Sean didn't intend to contact that top family.
