Chapter 10 Billions of People, Population Explosion
Imperial Airport.

The spacious airport is heavily guarded. Starting from the airport entrance, there is a guard post every ten steps, and every soldier carries a gun.

With the rise of the empire's economy and the advent of the industrial age, while society was developing rapidly, the army's weapons were also being updated at an even faster pace.

The convoy that Ye Chen was riding in slowly drove in from the airport entrance under the watchful eyes of the surrounding soldiers.

"Greetings, Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty."

As Ye Chen got out of the car, the soldiers around him knelt on one knee and saluted. The sound was deafening and extremely domineering.

Looking at the soldiers around him, Ye Chen's eyes were filled with satisfaction. The army of the Yanhuang Empire was trained by Ye Chen in a way that completely imitated the army training methods of China in his previous life, and the military discipline was strict.

"Flat body!!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!!"

"Crash!!"

All the soldiers stood up in unison. From a distance, all the soldiers looked like one.

At this time, Li Xinglong, the person in charge of the airport, hurried over.

After the greetings, Ye Chen followed Li Xinglong to the airport command center.

Inside the command center, people were surging, and various instruments that seemed very simple to Ye Chen were running, monitoring the flight status of the aircraft at all times.

The flight data of various aircraft are recorded after being transmitted.

With Ye Chen's arrival, the people inside the command center wanted to salute when they saw him.

Seeing this, Ye Chen smiled and said, "No need to salute, just do your thing."

Hearing this, everyone nodded and devoted themselves to their work again. However, everyone became more serious in order to do their best.

Looking at the hustle and bustle in the room, Ye Chen turned around and watched everyone's operations and the data information on various instruments, which made him a little confused.

As the empire developed to this level, Ye Chen’s knowledge accumulation could be said to have failed to keep up, and there were many things he could not understand.

Ye Chen had nothing to be disappointed about this. After all, as the empire became more and more powerful, the knowledge involved in all aspects was too broad, and even if he had ten clones, he would not be able to learn it all.

Moreover, he is the emperor of a country. As the helmsman of an empire, he only needs to grasp the direction of the empire's development.

In terms of technology, there is no need to force too much.

Professional matters should be studied by professionals; there is no need for laymen to learn them.

After walking around the command center, Ye Chen went out and came to a platform outside, where he could clearly see the planes soaring in the sky.

As time passed, the plane in the sky began to land after completing its test flight mission and allowing the command center to collect various data.

Whether the plane can land smoothly is of utmost importance.

An airplane that cannot land safely is ultimately a failure.

"Yanchen No. 1 has begun its return journey. All ground departments should pay attention and be ready for rescue at any time."

"All departments received."

As the order to return was issued, the medical department, fire department, maintenance department, security department and other departments on the ground took rapid action.

Standing on the platform, Ye Chen looked down at the scene on the ground and nodded.

Li Xinglong, who was standing beside him, looked at the plane landing in the sky and prayed silently in his heart, hoping that it would be successful and that nothing would go wrong.

This was not the first time they had flown the plane since it was built, but due to the immaturity of the technology, several planes were damaged.

Perhaps Li Xinglong's prayers worked. Although the Yanchen No. 1 plane shook violently during landing, it finally landed safely without any danger.

Seeing this, Li Xinglong felt relieved, and then excited, because the plane landed safely, which meant that the Kunpeng project was successfully completed.

At the same time, the people at the command center cheered and hugged each other excitedly when they saw the plane land smoothly.

Some people even cried with excitement.

Since the launch of the Kunpeng project, they have invested in it with full confidence and have been conducting research day and night for decades. During this period, they have experienced countless failures and wasted a lot of resources.

Although Ye Chen did not blame them for this and often encouraged them, they felt guilty.

Now that I have finally succeeded, I can finally report to His Majesty.

Fortunately, they fulfilled their mission.

Hearing the cheers in the command center, Ye Chen couldn't help but smile.

He saw the hard work of these scientists, and all he could do was to protect them as much as possible.

At the same time, reward them generously so that they can be free from all worries.

These scientists are the treasures cultivated by the empire. He would be heartbroken for a long time if he lost one of them.

Then Ye Chen looked at the Secretary General beside him, Yuan Lan, the granddaughter of the former Secretary General Yuan Long, and said with a smile: "Give the chief scientist of the Kunpeng Project a bottle of Longevity Liquid No. 5, million Yanhuang coins, a mansion in Tianchen Domain, and a three-level promotion of the title...

Granted a secondary scientist, a bottle of Changsheng No. 4, million Yanhuang coins, a Tianlan Domain mansion, and a second-level promotion of the title...

A bottle of No. 3 Immortality Liquid, one million Yanhuang coins, a mansion in Tianyun Domain, and a one-level promotion of the title will be given to the researcher of Kunpeng Project who has made outstanding contributions..."

As Ye Chen's voice sounded, Secretary-General Yuan Lan quickly wrote it down.

Li Xinglong, who was standing aside, couldn't help but secretly smack his lips as he listened to Ye Chen's reward, because it was really too much. This gave him a new understanding of Ye Chen's generosity.

At the same time, he also understood how much importance Ye Chen attached to the Kunpeng Project.

As Ye Chen finished speaking, Li Xinglong immediately thanked him and said, "I, Li Xinglong, thank your majesty for the reward on behalf of all the staff of the Kunpeng Project."

"Haha, Lord Li, I attach great importance to the Kunpeng Project. I hope you will continue to work hard and continue to optimize all aspects of the aircraft in order to achieve better results..."

Looking at Li Xinglong, Ye Chen smiled and encouraged him.

……

Yanhuang calendar, 200 years.

Qiankun Palace.

Ye Chen, who was handling government affairs, couldn't help rubbing his brows after closing the document in his hand.

"Yuan Lan, what time is it now?"

"Your Majesty, it is already past one in the evening."

"Is it so late already? Oh, what a hard life.

It seems that we need to develop artificial intelligence and computers as soon as possible to assist him in handling government affairs, so that he can be more relaxed. "Hearing that it was so late, Ye Chen couldn't help but smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Since the empire entered the industrial age, it has developed faster and faster. Even though there are cabinet officials screening the things that need to be dealt with every day, he still has to deal with a lot of things.

Moreover, as productivity increased, the economy began to soar, the empire's previously accumulated foundation began to explode, and the empire's rapid development was unstoppable.

At the same time, the population within the empire began to explode.

Today, the population of the Yanhuang Empire has reached 260 million, and as time goes by, the population is still increasing rapidly.
