Getting a Technology System in Modern Day-Chapter 711 The Fifth Imperial Council Meeting II

As Aron settled into his seat, the sound of applause filled the council chamber. The ministers and councilors rose to their feet in unison, clapping enthusiastically in recognition of the emperor's speech.

Gaia, maintaining her usual composed demeanor, raised her hand, motioning for silence. Gradually, the applause quieted, and the chamber returned to its calm, formal atmosphere.

{Thank you, everyone,} Gaia said, her voice gentle but commanding. {Now, we’ll begin with the first item on the agenda. The Imperial Health Agency. Councilor Ross, the floor is yours.}

A podium was elevated in front of Councilor Nathan Ross, who then rose from his seat to present his agency's progress report. “Having successfully established a solution for maintaining the health of our citizens, our agency has transitioned its focus. We are now concentrating on researching the distinctions between humans and Proximians, aiming to leverage these differences to enhance the well-being of all races within the empire.”

He got straight to the point without any pleasantries, as Gaia had made it clear during the first council meeting that the emperor preferred directness and efficiency. Councilor Ross, being the first to experience this directive, adhered to the practice from the very beginning.

“This research has the potential to unlock a deeper understanding of interspecies health and adaptability, ensuring that the health standards we’ve set extend to every individual in the empire, regardless of origin.

Our research in these areas has yielded significant advancements, with several minor but positive outcomes already achieved. However, we anticipate that it will take a few more years to realize major results. We are proceeding cautiously to ensure that any beneficial findings are implemented safely, with no harm coming to our citizens as a result of our research.”

“Additionally, we have made substantial progress on the project initiated at the beginning of the empire, which involves the collaboration with other agencies to gather DNA samples of all remaining Earth flora and fauna. We have successfully reintroduced over 73 percent of the previously extinct species and increased the populations of species that were on the brink of extinction. We anticipate completing this project by the end of the first decade of the empire.”

He paused briefly to catch his breath and transition to the next topic of his report.

“We have also been collaborating with our Proximian counterparts to introduce genetically modified species designed to thrive in the environment of Proxima Centauri B. This initiative aims to create a self-sustaining ecosystem on the planet and prevent damage to its developing environment. The implementation of this project is progressing well, but as the effects take time to manifest, we are currently distributing these species across various locations and closely monitoring their interactions with the environment.”

His report on the work they were doing in proxima continued for about twenty minutes before he wrapped it up, saying, “As always, all information has been made available in the Akashic Record for those interested in the details of our work so far and the plans for the work we’ll be doing in the future. That’s all from my agency, thank you, everyone, for your time.”

He sat back down in his chair and the podium in front of him melted back into the table.

{Next in line is Councilor Bauer of the Imperial Environmental Agency. Please deliver your report, councilor,} Gaia shortly moved on after a small round of applause for Councilor Nathan's report.

Councilor Greg Bauer rose and immediately dove into his report, wasting no time on meaningless pleasantries that served no purpose but to waste time and lower efficiency.

“The Imperial Environmental Agency’s efforts to reverse the damage from global warming since the industrial revolutions have been progressing positively, with only a few minor issues arising. We have successfully removed over 95 percent of harmful greenhouse gases from the atmosphere and nearly achieved the same level of cleanup for the oceans. Although we have met our target, the process was delayed by two years due to increased greenhouse gas emissions during the construction of fortress cities and the destruction and reconstruction of earlier urban areas.”

“Thanks to the monopolization of material production by Hephaestus Industries and Manufacturing, which operates predominantly in outer space, and the implementation of carbon-neutral fuels across various industries on Earth, I’m pleased to report that we have successfully met our goal. We are now producing fewer greenhouse gases than we can absorb with our atmospheric absorbers and the natural vegetation on the planet.”

Councilor Bauer continued for about ten more minutes, detailing the progress made in reversing the environmental damage inflicted on Earth since the Industrial Revolution. His report primarily focused on Earth’s recovery efforts, given that the majority of their work remained on the home planet.

The Imperial Environmental Agency’s involvement with Proxima Centauri B was relatively minor at this stage, as the atmosphere there had not yet suffered significant damage. A majority of their role on Proxima Centauri B mainly involved collaborating with the Health Agency to monitor the introduction of new species and their impact on the planet’s ecosystem.

“That’s all from my agency. Thank you for your attention.” He said once he was done delivering his report before returning to take his seat in order to allow for the next person to start delivering their report.

Gaia efficiently called upon the next counselor without delay, ensuring the meeting proceeded smoothly.

One by one, the agency heads rose to deliver their reports, each providing updates on their respective projects. The session continued without breaks or significant pauses, a testament to the gravity of the occasion and the presence of the emperor.

Aron’s expression remained impassive, his attention unwavering throughout the lengthy council session.

The same could be said for his younger brother, Henry, who, despite his usual tendencies toward laziness, displayed a notable shift in demeanor. Understanding the gravity of the situation, he set aside his typical reluctance and remained resolute throughout the meeting. His genetic enhancements, coupled with the meeting being in a VR environment, enabled him to maintain a high level of concentration from the start of the session.
