Chapter 701: Draft and Internal Oversight, the Ten Thousand Nations Pact Civilization's First Collective Wedding

Yu Yuan was surprised when he received Goting's message.

Things had gone far more smoothly than he had expected.

But the number of people brought back was far fewer than he had anticipated.

In total, there were only 1,532 people.

"Chief, with the Extreme Cold Disaster having struck two months ago, it's been an ordeal for everyone, especially since the temperature has dropped drastically recently, and combined with stored supplies running out, that's why a large number of people froze to death in the extreme cold..." Goting sounded dejected. He hadn't expected there to be so few either.

"Good work!" Yu Yuan expressed his understanding.

Carmen walked over.

"Chief, all personnel have been settled. Once they've adapted for two days, we'll begin the population census. Er Xiao is in charge of that."

Er Xiao, following behind Carmen, stepped forward with a document in his hand.

"Chief. Based on your instructions and our past experience, the draft classification of our civilization's member departments is complete. It will be divided into four parts: War, Logistics, Technology, and Research.

Each part has more detailed subdivisions. For example, War is divided into three departments: the Defense Department, the Combat Department, and the Armaments Department. The Defense Department is mainly responsible for security and defense work across all worlds, the Combat Department is mainly responsible for external wars, and the Armaments Department is mainly responsible for the production and storage of weapons and equipment...

Logistics mainly covers life-related work, such as farming, animal husbandry, fishing, production, and business operations. These are lower-risk, safer types of livelihood work, primarily providing support for the women and children...

Technology encompasses anyone with a specific skill, such as electricians, repairmen, and mechanics. It's mainly related to industry and technology-related occupations...

Research currently mainly consists of the members of the four research institutes: the Biological Research Institute, the Mechanical Research Institute, the Mysterious Research Institute, and the Nuclear Weapons Research Department..."

"We've set corresponding survival resource treatment standards for different types of work, and the final review is underway. It's expected to be completed by the next civilization meeting."

Yu Yuan listened to Er Xiao's report with a contemplative look on his face.

"Carmen, Er Xiao, there's one more thing to consider: the internal oversight rules.

The Mechanical Scrapyard Planet is being conquered by us, the people of Ladiz's world will also be joining us, and then there are the 1,500 plus people from EDEN who just arrived.

The civilization's scale is expanding rapidly, and it's foreseeable that our civilization's development will only accelerate. When there are more people, hearts and minds become more complicated.

Although we have Civilization Recognition as a safety net, we also need to prepare oversight for key positions in advance, especially for departments involved in resource distribution and transportation..."

Hearing Yu Yuan's words, Carmen's expression had already turned very serious.

As someone who had crawled and scraped through the wasteland to get to where he was now, he knew these things all too well.

Or rather, anyone who had survived until now knew the dangers of abusing power for personal gain.

Now that the civilization had just gotten on track, he absolutely wouldn't allow his hard work to be ruined.

Back when the civilization was still small, these key positions were held by trustworthy people.

But now, as the civilization grew, there were only so many core members. They couldn't possibly do everything themselves.

Power would inevitably have to be delegated, and it had to be delegated.

How to restrain those who received this power was a critical issue.

Indeed, internal oversight was long overdue for the agenda.

"Alright, understood!"

"Understood, Chief."

Just as Yu Yuan was about to leave, Carmen extended an invitation to him.

"What! The civilization's first collective wedding is starting tomorrow?" Yu Yuan was overjoyed.

This was a proposal from the previous Ten Thousand Nations Conference. With one thing after another happening during this period, he had long forgotten about it.

He hadn't expected that, before he even realized it, it had already reached the final step.

-

Wasteland Calendar Day 117.

This was a day worth commemorating.

The first collective wedding of the Ten Thousand Nations Pact Civilization was about to be held.

The wedding venue was in the Giant Tree World.

Right by the shore of Seaway Lake, in a scenic location.

In the distance were the Giant Tree Valley and the High-Energy Automated Farm.

The wedding was jointly organized by Carmen and Zhou Yuan.

They had originally planned to only invite Yu Yuan to attend and witness this historic moment.

But when Yu Yuan found out, he directly notified all departments, giving each department 5 spots to attend the wedding banquet.

Let them all witness the ceremony together.

As a result, the number of people at the venue today had directly reached over two hundred.

And for this wedding, Carmen and Zhou Yuan had also taken out a lot of stored supplies.

Candy, liquor, drinks, meat, vegetables, fruits...

They had even made a champagne tower and a seven-tier cake.

These arrangements gave everyone attending the wedding a dazed feeling of both familiarity and strangeness.

Those who had come to the wedding in clean clothes.

Looking at the beautiful scenery around them and the abundant food, smiles brimmed on everyone's faces.

It was as if they had traveled through time and space, returning to the world before the wasteland had descended.

That world where civilization, order, and rules still existed.

At this moment, many people unconsciously shed tears.

They had never thought that in their lifetime, they would see such a dreamlike scene again.

BOOM BOOM BOOM—

The sound of 12 artillery blasts rang out.

Signaling that the wedding had officially begun.

Twelve couples dressed in wedding gowns and suits walked forward slowly.

Under the gazes of everyone, filled with envy, blessings, and excitement, they walked through the crowd.

Wow—

Someone exclaimed in awe.

Morning Dew Sprites and Flower Language Sprites flapped their wings, and amid the cries of surprise, they flew over the heads of the newlyweds, petals falling from the sky one after another, scattering onto them.

A ripple of Psychic Ability energy emanated from the Flower Language Queen.

With each step the twelve couples took forward, flowers rose from the ground, then branched out and bloomed slowly.

ROOOAR—

On Seaway Lake, four massive pillars of water rose up, transforming into fountains, with mist spreading through the air.

Under the sunlight, a rainbow bridge arched across the sky.

Amid waves of admiration and envy, the newlyweds passed through the rainbow bridge and walked along the red carpet to the ceremony platform.

Mie Mie, with golden fur and golden ram horns, radiating an aura of hope and light, was already standing there.

"Wow—, it's the Chief's Holy Ram!"

"It's actually Lady Mie Mie personally witnessing this... I hope Lady Mie Mie can witness my wedding in the future too."

"Rumor has it that Lady Mie Mie has the ability to bring good fortune. It's by relying on Lady Mie Mie that the Chief got to where he is today. She is the Chief's most trusted companion..."

At this moment, even the upper management of every department showed expressions of surprise and envy.

Are you kidding?

In the entire Ten Thousand Nations Pact Civilization, who didn't know Lady Mie Mie's status and significance?

According to some little rumor whose source no one knew.

The Chief had personally said before that Lady Mie Mie's priority was even higher than his own.

It was said that when the Chief was still in his humble beginnings and resources were relatively scarce.

Even if he got fresh vegetables, even if the Chief himself didn't eat them, he would prioritize taking care of Lady Mie Mie first.

And now this esteemed lady had personally appeared here.

The twelve couples were already extremely excited.

And it was at this moment.

Carmen's voice rang out.

"Next, under the witness of the Chief and Lady Mie Mie, the first collective wedding of the Ten Thousand Nations Pact Civilization, officially begins!"
