Dr. Mei received a large sum of money from Takumi.
The first thing she did was bring her own students and start working.
All kinds of ordered materials and related supplies were prepared.
Especially for some controlled materials, these could only be obtained after submitting applications.
After all, many controlled materials are regulated by Liyue officials.
Because of this, ningguang and ganyu received the news immediately.
They learned that Dr. Mei needed so many controlled materials.
The two were suddenly dumbfounded.
Well, everyone was on the same side now.
So when they saw this message, both of them felt a little depressed.
"What does Dr. Mei need so much controlled material for?"
ningguang was very puzzled.
When ganyu heard this, she looked at ningguang with confusion.
"You don't know?"
ningguang shook her head.
"No idea!"
"Nuwa, what's going on?"
Since ganyu didn't know either, it was better to ask Nuwa directly.
[The doctor wants to build a Liyue defense system.]
[So these materials are required.]
[Master Takumi has already approved the funds.]
Nuwa briefly explained the situation.
At the same time, a document appeared in the hands of the two.
They both had permission to view it.
Hearing this, ningguang and ganyu became curious.
They immediately checked the documents provided by Nuwa.
They wanted to see exactly what was happening.
After reading the contents, ningguang nodded.
"Good."
"I agree with this."
"Have people arrange the materials for them."
She shared the same view as Takumi.
These things might not be used, but they must exist.
ganyu put down her phone and didn't say much.
She also supported this decision.
Even if there were no enemies now, what about the future?
The necessary combat power still had to be prepared.
This was also to ensure Liyue's safety.
Spending some money was not a big issue.
Liyue lacked many things, but money was not one of them.
With the decision made, the materials were quickly prepared.
They were then transported to Dr. Mei.
That night, when ningguang returned home, she mentioned the matter to Takumi.
"You suddenly agreed to build a defense system."
"You didn't tell us in advance, which confused me."
"I thought something major had happened."
She was still a little unsettled about it.
Hearing this, Takumi smiled.
"Didn't you find out in the end?"
"Anyway, these things will eventually reach your side."
"Of course you would know."
If she wanted to know something, she could always ask Nuwa directly.
There was no need for Takumi to explain everything.
Hearing this, ningguang rolled her eyes.
"We were the last ones to know."
"Besides the defense system, are there any other military matters to handle next?"
"If there are, keqing will take care of them."
Liyue's civilian development was progressing very well.
But the military side had stagnated.
Many areas had not been further developed.
Aircraft, spacecraft, and warships existed,
but there had been little advancement in the past two years.
"As things stand now, improving the system later will be enough."
"Then we can slowly upgrade."
"Dr. Mei is already working on this."
"So you don't need to worry."
"If funding is needed, Dr. Mei will apply to you."
Takumi wasn't worried about this at all.
Dr. Mei would handle these issues properly.
It wasn't ningguang's turn to stress over it.
Thirteen Luminejie was doing everything possible to strengthen Liyue.
To make Liyue stronger, and Takumi stronger.
Ideally, to reach the level of a pre-civilization,
or even surpass it.
The current Liyue still had a long road ahead.
To develop a civilization, business alone was not enough.
Military strength and culture also had to grow.
The cultural side had long been handled by the TV station.
Eden, the great singer, even worked directly at the station.
She had become one of the station's directors.
Although Baiwen was the nominal head,
Eden effectively had the final say.
After all, she was truly professional.
Recently, many entertainment companies had emerged.
Even Mond, known for its idols, couldn't compare to Liyue.
Liyue's dramas and films were appearing like mushrooms after rain.
All of this was Eden's work.
So in terms of development, Thirteen Luminejie had already begun expanding across all fields.
After hearing Takumi's explanation, ningguang nodded.
With Dr. Mei involved, there really wasn't much to worry about.
"All right, then I'll just approve the funding."
"What area are you planning to develop next?"
ningguang was curious about Takumi's next direction.
"Culture."
Takumi answered without hesitation.
"Culture?"
"You mean sports?"
"You created so many sports earlier to prepare for next year, right?"
ningguang quickly connected the dots.
This was already somewhat expected.
Takumi nodded.
"Exactly."
"The development of a civilization can't be separated from culture."
"So next year, I plan to promote our culture."
"It would be best to revive some forgotten skills."
"And help them flourish again."
"At that time, I'll talk to the old man and let him handle it."
A strange smile appeared on Takumi's face.
Hearing this, ningguang was speechless.
"Let the old man handle it…"
"Aren't you afraid he'll hit you?"
Was he planning to rope Zhongli in again?
It was rare for the old man to have some free time.
Now he wanted to pile work on him again.
She could already imagine Zhongli's reaction.
"Why should I be afraid?"
"He will definitely support it."
"He probably also wants to see those lost things return."
"Many things have already been collected by him."
Takumi smiled as he spoke.
He didn't know exactly how many things Zhongli had collected.
But judging from how easily Zhongli handed over lost recipes to xiangling,
and those ancient wine formulas before,
it was obvious he still possessed many forgotten treasures.
To spread Liyue's culture, Zhongli's help was essential.
If necessary, he could even ask a few adepti to assist.
After all, immortals who lived that long must know many lost arts.
In any case, there was always a way forward.
