"The Big Brother is on the air!"
"Finally it's airing! If it didn't air soon, I would have almost forgotten about Yan Guo Nation."
"Amazing! Are they already building a port? That's fast!"
"Wow, how many people are there?"
Chen Yang greeted, "Hello everyone, it's been a while since we last saw each other."
"The Longteng Project is officially underway. What you're seeing now is Yan Guo's first port. In the first phase, we will construct docking berths with approximately 5,000 meters in length. Ships with a draft of about 13 meters will be able to dock smoothly."
"The forecast is that the project will be completed within 30 to 40 days."
"How long will that take?"
"Thirty to forty days? You must be kidding, right?"
"A port of that size can't be built in a month, not even in a year!"
Chen Yang's words seem surreal.
He responded with a smile, "A total of 125,000 workers on the port project. Thirty to forty days is just a conservative estimate."
A robot can do the work of up to five people. With 25 thousand robots, it's like having 125 thousand human workers.
Anyway, netizens are not on-site. Even if they were, they wouldn't be busy counting. It's not just a matter of quantity.
"A huge group, 125 thousand people?"
"The daily wage cost of so many people is 8.2 to 9.6 million. Friend, can you afford the 6.9 billion?"
"It's the first time I feel like money is so useless."
"The big boss has financial backing behind him, so I'm afraid of him."
"I'm taking everyone to see Yan City."
Chen Yang turned around and got into a construction vehicle. He started the engine and headed towards Yan City.
The car shook and rocked along the way, and the camera trembled violently, causing widespread discomfort.
When they arrived at the site, Chen Yang jumped out of the car, and everyone could see: the place was crowded with people, as well as steel bars stacked on the ground, concrete mixers...
It was like a huge construction site in full swing, with no end in sight.
"Why are there so many people here?"
"Friend, how many people are here?"
"Indeed, I feel like 6.9 billion might be a bit overwhelming."
"Where did they bring all these people from?"
Everyone was stunned, the thunderous sound of construction echoing everywhere.
Chen Yang said, "The scale of the project in Yan City is larger, and there are more construction workers, a total of 175,000 people."
"How many?"
"Are you crazy? It's almost 200,000 people working on the project at the same time. Just the salary plus food, drink, and hygiene, it's nearly 13.7 million per day, right?"
"The initial investment is insane!"
"Is this the construction of a country? It's frightening."
Chen Yang made a sharp turn, got into the car, and continued driving towards the airport.
Upon arriving at the airport and seeing again the dense crowd of construction workers, netizens were completely stunned.
Chen Yang said, "There are also 125,000 staff at the airport."
"My team of experts estimates that the construction period of the airport, port, and Yan City should be completed simultaneously in 30-40 days."
"Additionally, it's expected that the submarine cable from Yan Guo will be completed within 20 days, and the base stations covering the country will also be completed within a month."
"Starting today, I'll take everyone to see the progress of the project at 12 o'clock every day."
"That's it for today's live broadcast, see you tomorrow."
Chen Yang signed off, but the live chat channel was filled with excitement.
"The infrastructure of the Yan Guo country is simply amazing!"
"Wow, I thought Yan Guo would take at least a year at the fastest, but he said one month?"
"This infrastructure construction speed reminds me of the Dragon Kingdom."
"If you have money, you can really do whatever you want!"
"For the first time, it felt like building a country was so simple."
"Hahaha, thankfully, I bought national bonds. When the Kingdom of Yan Guo is built, I can immigrate!"
"Damn, my girlfriend said the king of Yan Guo would make money and run away, so she told me not to buy. Damn!"
"If your girlfriend is from Jiangcheng, I recommend you don't break up, because my relatives and friends are all in Jiangcheng, and I worry they might 'snatch' her. If she's from outside Jiangcheng, I recommend you break up immediately."
"The value of Yan Guo's passport is increasing every day!"
"The next step should be to establish diplomatic relations, right?"
"How can it be so fast? With just infrastructure, the most it can do is provide living conditions. But if it can be lived in, there must be employment. Otherwise, it will end up eating dirt."
Currently, authorities, consortia, and investors from various countries are paying close attention to Yan Guo.
But Yan Guo suddenly stopped moving.
Now, Yan Guo, which has been silent for over ten days, has reappeared in the eyes of netizens worldwide.
And it was presented to the public so explosively.
It attracted everyone's attention for a while.
