Chapter 162 Marine Development Plan
When Li Weiyi brought Yuan Wu's grave back to the Martyrs Cemetery at Survival Base No. 2 in a flying boat, the people who got the news had already surrounded the Martyrs Cemetery, all coming to pay tribute to this pioneer of mankind! Leader!
The scene of the memorial ceremony was unprecedentedly grand! It can be seen that Yuan Wu's status in the hearts of all human beings is unquestionable!
Li Weiyi left the vicinity of the memorial service and came to Yuan Li's side. Looking at Yuan Li's face which still had two lines of tears on it, he said apologetically, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry that I've only just done what I promised you!"
"Thank you! President Li! You haven't forgotten. Although it's a little late, I won't blame you. I still want to thank you for bringing my grandfather's grave back. Thank you!" As she said that, Yuan Li bowed deeply to Li Weiyi.
"Miss Yuan, please get up! Senior Yuan Wu is my benefactor and a pioneer of all mankind! We must bring back his grave!" Li Weiyi said.
"Thank you!" Yuan Li thanked him again, "President Li, I'm going to go take care of my uncle first. When I have the chance, I'll thank you in person!"
"It's okay! Go ahead!" Li Weiyi waved his hand and said.
Yuan Li nodded and went to take care of the four elders of the Yuan family.
…
At night, the entire Martyrs' Cemetery returned to silence.
A figure suddenly appeared in the Martyrs' Cemetery, walked to Yuan Wu's tombstone, stopped, and then knelt down with a "thump".
"Master! I, your humble disciple, have come to see you!" As he said this, the figure bowed his head deeply and did not get up for a long time.
The figure that appeared in the Martyrs Cemetery at night was naturally Zhuge Yuanlong. He heard the practitioners who hunted fierce beasts to sharpen themselves in the Qianjue Mountains talking about Li Weiyi moving Yuan Wu's tomb back to the Martyrs Cemetery, so he waited dead of night to come and pay homage.
After a long time, Zhuge Yuanlong straightened up, but tears were already rolling down his eyes. However, Zhuge Yuanlong did not wipe them away, letting the tears fall.
"Master! I am an unfilial disciple!"
"I failed to inherit my master's will and lead the entire human race to fight against the ferocious beasts. Instead, I was blinded by profit and organized a shadow force in an attempt to rule the entire human world!"
"Fortunately, Li Weiyi stepped forward to stop it, otherwise, I really don't know how the situation would develop!"
"And what a huge impact the loss will have on the human world!"
"I am truly ashamed of my failure to lead the association to glory!"
"Now, the association has Li Weiyi, the number one expert in the human race, to lead it. He is still very young and will definitely lead the association to a higher level! He will not bring disgrace to the cultivator association founded by Master!"
"The human world has returned to peace, and Li Weiyi has made an indelible contribution!"
"He completed his master's unfulfilled wish!"
"I am just a disciple, but I have not been able to inherit the master's legacy. I am really sorry for the cultivation of the master over the years!"
…
Zhuge Yuanlong knelt in front of Yuan Wu's tomb for a long time and spoke for a long time. It was not until the sky was dim that Zhuge Yuanlong stood up and quietly left...
Since it was almost evening when the memorial service for Yuan Wu ended, Li Weiyi did not rush back to Survival Base No. 7, but stayed in his own office at the association's headquarters.
Li Weiyi got up early, had breakfast in the cafeteria downstairs, and then prepared to say goodbye to Ji Changkong and return to Survival Base No. 7.
However, when Li Weiyi came to Ji Changkong's office and was about to talk to Ji Changkong, Ji Changkong waved to Li Weiyi and asked him to come over. Li Weiyi could only swallow his words.
"Brother Ji! What's the matter?" Li Weiyi walked over with some confusion.
"Take a look at this first!" Ji Changkong pointed to a file bag on the table.
So, Li Weiyi picked up the file bag, which was marked on the outside as being sent by the Union Government. Then Li Weiyi took out the documents inside, but there was only one piece of paper with a very eye-catching title on it: "Ocean Development Plan."
"Ocean development plan?" Li Weiyi took a quick look at the content below, then looked at Ji Changkong and asked, "Does the Alliance government plan to develop resources in the ocean?"
"This plan states that we are going to develop the marine resources near the land. Even if it doesn't attract the attention of that emperor-level beast, it will probably attract other king-level beasts in the ocean." Ji Changkong nodded.
"Yes! These are predictable!" Li Weiyi also nodded, "I don't recommend developing the ocean right now. In the ocean, in addition to that emperor-level beast, there are probably quite a few king-level beasts. As far as the current situation is concerned, developing the ocean will do more harm than good!"
"Yes! I think so too, but as for the Alliance Government, we cannot influence their ideas and plans. Besides, didn't you say that our entire universe is a cultivation universe, suitable only for cultivation. Technology cannot be developed to a high level, and may even decline." Ji Changkong echoed, "In fact, now that the continent has become peaceful and there is no longer any threat to humans, they have turned their attention to the ocean."
"To put it bluntly, they just want to conquer the ocean!" Li Weiyi hit the nail on the head. "They sent us this plan. I'm afraid they want me to clear the coastal areas for them, right?"
"You're right! That's what they really mean!" Ji Changkong said with his hands spread out.
"Now is not the time to implement this plan. My strength has not reached that level yet! It will take at least a few more years before I have the confidence to fight against the imperial beast!" Li Weiyi walked to the window, his eyes became deep.
"Alas!" Ji Changkong sighed and walked over. "I will contact Lao Chen now and talk to him about this. However, now is a peaceful time, and his voice has been weakened a lot. The person who really holds the power in the Alliance Government is the Minister of Government Affairs, Xu Qiang!"
Since peace was restored on the continent, the Alliance Government has carried out a series of major reforms, dispersing most of the power originally held by practitioners to ordinary people, saying that "in times of chaos, the country should be governed by force, and in times of peace, the country should be brought to peace by culture."
Now, although Chen Qian still serves as the Speaker General, his power has indeed been weakened a lot, and the new Secretary of State seems to have the momentum to surpass Chen Qian.
"Anyway, I don't agree with this plan! They thought of developing the mainland coast first!" Li Weiyi said speechlessly, "There are probably more ferocious beasts in the ocean than on land! If they clear the mainland coast, won't the ferocious beasts from other places stop coming? Won't people still die by then?"
"Yes! But the current people in power have only enjoyed peace for less than a year, and I'm afraid they have forgotten the cruelty of those ferocious beasts!" Ji Changkong said with a frown.
Just then, Qi Feng knocked on the door and walked in.
"Two presidents! The Alliance Government's Minister of Political Affairs Xu Qiang is here to urge us again, asking us to give them a reply as soon as possible." Qi Feng said.
"Haha! Give them an answer as soon as possible!?" Ji Changkong laughed anxiously, "My Cultivator Association does not belong to his government department. Do I need to give them an answer as soon as possible!?"
"Brother Ji, calm down first. After all, the Alliance Government is the legitimate force that rules the entire human world, and we still have to give them the face they deserve!" Li Weiyi smiled and patted Ji Changkong, and then said to Qi Feng: "Brother Qi! Reply to the Alliance Government and tell them that I will personally go to Survival Base No. 1 to discuss with Chairman Chen."
Qi Feng was slightly stunned, then he understood and said with a smile, "I understand, President Li!" Then he went out to report to the alliance government.
The reason why Li Weiyi negotiated with Chen Qian was because Chen Qian was still the General Speaker of the Alliance Government. Even though Xu Qiang, as the Minister of State Affairs, had more power than Chen Qian, the position of General Speaker of the Alliance Government was still one level higher than Xu Qiang. As the President of the Cultivator Association, Li Weiyi was the highest position in the Cultivator Association, so he naturally had to talk to the highest position in the Alliance Government.
After Qi Feng left, Ji Changkong spoke up, "Isn't it inappropriate for you to leave Xu Qiang aside and discuss directly with Chen Qian? After all, the Alliance Government is the orthodox government in the world. Logically speaking, we are also under its jurisdiction."
"Brother Ji, in fact, since the threat on the mainland was lifted, I have also thought for a long time about how our association and the Union Government should get along. The Union Government is the orthodoxy of the world, and this is beyond reproach!" Li Weiyi frowned and looked into the distance, "We can follow some good policies of the Union Government, but if it endangers the lives of others, or is harmful to the entire human world, our Cultivator Association will not let it do whatever it wants!"
"However, now the world has turned to the rule of scholars. If we confront Xu Qiang head-on like this, it will be disadvantageous to our Practitioners Association!" Ji Changkong said it before with some anger, but he could still understand the interests involved.
"The entire universe is based on cultivation. If we let a group of people without cultivation rule the world and let them rule the practitioners, which practitioners will accept it? I'm afraid Xu Qiang's rule will not last long! I don't know what those people in the alliance government are thinking. How can ordinary people suppress the practitioners? I'm afraid there will be chaos soon!" Li Weiyi shook his head with a sneer.
At this time, Qi Feng walked in again and said with some concern: "Two presidents, I told Xu Qiang about the meeting between President Li and Chairman Chen. I could hear Xu Qiang on the other side was very angry. Will this be detrimental to our association?"
Seeing Qi Feng's worried expression, Li Weiyi smiled and said, "Don't worry, Brother Qi! With the prestige of our association in the human world, even if his order is issued, it will be difficult to implement. Let's take a step back. With me, the world's number one expert, in charge of the association, Xu Qiang should also consider his own weight, right?"
"President Li, if Xu Qiang really does something to our association, there's nothing we can do. After all, they are an orthodox force!" Qi Feng was still very worried.
"Then it depends on whether Xu Qiang has the courage!" Li Weiyi's eyes turned cold. He, including the entire Practitioners Association, can contribute to the entire human world free of charge, and can also help those in power do things that benefit the people of the world, but they will not agree to those unreasonable requests.
If the alliance government's ocean development plan is implemented now, although Li Weiyi can temporarily clear out the marine beasts along the coast of the mainland, it is impossible for Li Weiyi to patrol there all the time. The marine beasts from other places will definitely swim to the coast, and there will definitely be king-level beasts among them. It will definitely pose a huge threat to the life safety of the staff who are implementing the ocean development plan, and even cause heavy losses!
