This broadcast speech to the entire Alliance was certainly not a whim of Gu Hang’s.
He had at least three layers of purpose in this matter.
First and foremost, as the union had just completed the unification of the whole planet, he needed to address all citizens in his capacity as a ruler and proclaim the legitimacy of the Alliance.
This would help boost the confidence of the people.
Secondly, he also had to use this means to convey his political ideology to the officials of the Alliance Government.
Thirdly, he had been away from his center of power for half a year and needed to make his voice heard in public in order to strengthen his own prestige.
Regarding the second and third points, they couldn’t be solved with just one speech.
Or rather, whether it was the implementation of ideals or the maintenance of personal authority, neither could be resolved once and for all in a short period or by a single action. This required his long-term and continuous embodiment.
In the following period, Gu Hang’s schedule became incredibly busy.
He hardly stayed in Revival City for a long time and was flying all over the Alliance. Today he would meet with a regional governor, tomorrow an important mayor, and the next day he would visit a military garrison to offer comfort to soldiers.
After a round of such visits, upon returning to Revival City, Gu Hang would then meet with important members from various departments of the Central Government…
Indeed, during his visit with the mayor of Weixing City, Patel, he heard about a middle-aged female worker who had been assigned to an ordinary factory in Weixing City but was in fact a city planner from Korolya III.
Although she was not the main architect of the whole city, her experience in urban planning for such a 10 billion people metropolis like Fino City, and even her rare personal insights, made her a sought-after talent.
In just over a month, by observing around Weixing City, she identified several unreasonable aspects in the urban construction planning. By redesigning the road network and urban development, simple and localized changes significantly improved logistics efficiency and the smoothness of city resource traffic at certain nodes.
The roads for transporting raw materials and outputting products finally stopped conflicting with each other, resolving the chronic problem of frequent congestion in that area.
Latter, she even came up with a complete set of three-dimensional construction plans, as well as a vision for the integration of Revival City and Weixing City, based on some planning documents of the Alliance Government.
All these things astonished Patel, making him feel as if he had stumbled upon a treasure, leading him to bypass normal channels for talented individuals, hoping to greatly elevate the position of the lady named Mandoya Lucas. He even made a special mention of this during his visit to the governor.
Gu Hang was also very pleased.
If she could handle urban planning in a metropolis of ten billion people, let alone in Weixing City, which currently has only millions of inhabitants.
Although Weixing City was planned as one of the most important industrial centers of the Alliance from the very beginning, it had its limitations in terms of scale and the capabilities and vision of the planners, which meant some things were not perfect.
With the addition of such a talented individual, he was indeed eager to have a good chat with Ms. Lucas.
Unfortunately, he truly did not have the time.
At least not for now, as he was about to lead some members of the investigative team back to Korolya III to report.

After this return trip, he had other matters to attend to.
He would have to wait for the next opportunity with regret.
…
Nothing significant happened during Gu Hang’s trip to Korolya III.
He no longer had ships from the Gu Commercial Firm at his disposal, but the Alliance had produced a starship capable of interstellar travel, equipped with weapons and shield systems.
The weapons system was barely adequate. Against some destitute interstellar pirates, it could still fight, but if the enemy was slightly larger in scale, there would be big trouble.
However, the route from Rage Owl Star to Korolya III was not considered dangerous. Aside from the Green-skin Plundering Fleet that suddenly appeared last time (which may well have been drawn by the system), there hadn’t been much news of interstellar pirates.
Interstellar pirates, risking their lives to acquire ships capable of cosmic travel, would of course want to make big money. The few shipping lanes around Rage Owl Star were not bustling with activity and were even as poor as ghosts, so pirates were too lazy to come there.
In short, even traveling on a starship, the chance of an incident was very low.
However, the starship was small, with a crew of only about five hundred people. It could not transport a large amount of materials and was not convenient for bringing back items from Korolya III.
On this trip to Korolya III, Gu Hang took some of the investigative team members with him and exchanged a few. During the period, a little kid even ran to tattle on him, but the final result of that, of course, sank like a stone in the sea.
He didn’t pay it any mind.
Some representatives of the investors had also returned. Gu Hang didn’t know what they would specifically tell their bosses, but at least from the feedback obtained from the Alliance Foreign Affairs Department and the Department of Commerce, they were basically satisfied with the situation on Rage Owl Star.
This also brought back some positive results.
