Chapter 1353: Fierce Fight! Master and Disciple 93 (Part 2)

The wind blew violently across the ground, and some debris kept flying in the wind, and even some metal objects. The violent knocking sound continued to hit a metal wall standing alone in the wind and sand, and it kept making crackling sounds.

Behind the metal wall, many members of Section 12 were groping on the land under the illumination of fluorescent lights. In this experimental base with an area of ​​less than 200 square meters, many of the land did not look like the frozen soil in the barrier area, but looked very soft black soil.

Ye Chunwang carefully lay in front of a small piece of black soil. This small piece of land was less than 2 square meters. Some of the land next to it looked a little dry and cracked. Ye Chunwang was using a small shovel to dig up the black soil bit by bit, and a slight light green color was revealed. In an instant, Ye Chunwang's solemn expression relaxed and he smiled.

This is the most successful one in three months. The crops have grown. There are only three walls here to resist the wind and sand in the barrier area. The height of the wall is less than 50 meters. This height was decided after Ye Chunwang made detailed observations for many days.

The wind will bring a lot of things, but it will also take away a lot of things. There are air quality stabilization equipment on the walls, and the top needs to be re-covered with a film every day. Now it is like a small greenhouse. There is a temperature display on the wall, which has been constantly jumping between 20 and 25 degrees at the speed of light. The average temperature next to it is 22.6 degrees, but the place with 0.6 is still changing slowly.

An area suitable for the cultivation of 30 kinds of crops has been built here. Now among more than 30 kinds of crops, only this improved potato with strong cold resistance has sprouted. This is gratifying and worth celebrating. Ye Chunwang immediately took a monitoring probe and adjusted a light and shadow panel. With the soft white light sweeping over the tip of the potato sprout, the light and shadow screen will show the various values ​​of the sprout still in the soil.

Soon, Ye Chunwang carefully covered the black soil back. Looking at the various values ​​on the buds, he was not very satisfied. After all, although this fluorescent lamp can meet the light needs of plants, it is obvious that the content of microorganisms in the soil is seriously insufficient. A large number of microorganisms continue to die in the soil layer even if comprehensive protection measures have been taken, and the soil is also losing water rapidly.

It is too difficult to revive the land. High-quality solar lamps are used here every day, but after so long, the land has not shown any signs of successful recovery, but is dying little by little. This is the result that Ye Chunwang knew from the beginning, but he could only grit his teeth and try.

Recently, the workers have become more and more dissatisfied. Many times, they have not started construction, but can only spend time in the metal sheet house. Day by day, the harsh environment of the barrier area, coupled with the fact that there is no hope at all now, the workers are reclaiming the land every day according to the plan set at the beginning of the month, using some mechanical tools to directly reclaim the land, but the reclaimed land has been filled with sand before the windbreak net is established.

The windbreak net is made of a composite material that only allows some extremely fine particles to pass through, as well as the wind that pours in. However, the fierce wind and sand every day have made many workers miserable. Now the dissatisfaction is everywhere in the workers' camp, and there have been many conflicts with the people from Section 3.

The dissatisfaction of the people from Section 3 is also growing, because they need to patrol around the winning land and the reclamation land 24 hours a day, and the threat from criminals is not a small problem. After the criminals raided the camp before, the vigilance was strengthened, and Section 3 sent more people, but there are still some criminals around this land who are eyeing it every day.

Single incidents of some mutants sneaking in in the wind and sand to steal some things often occur, and some workers are seriously injured, and some workers start to get sick. Now there are only more than 4,300 workers in the camp, and nearly 700 have returned to the city due to illness or other reasons.

Ye Chunwang has only been back three times in the past three months, but every time he goes back, he hears some strange noises. This orchard plan may be aborted. In the early years when the city was just beginning to be built, the east was once the location of the dense forest of Brilliant City. At that time, a large amount of wood used in the construction of Brilliant City was collected from the east, in order to make the east free as a food base.

Recalling this past, Ye Chunwang couldn't help but press his sour nose, and many things that were deeply remembered in the past came to his mind one by one.

A long time ago, when the situation was stable, the gods conquered the eight major forces and prepared to start integrating the people in this arena. At that time, Ye Chunwang was just 11 years old, and he went to the dense forest in the east of Brilliant City with his parents. It was called a dense forest, but in fact, the trees were almost all dead. It was from then on that Ye Chunwang began to work day and night in the east as a book cutter.

The gods would personally bring people to the reclaimed land to start the construction of the planting area and the seed experimental base. If it weren't for an accidental accident, Ye Chunwang might have died.

Famine was the norm in that era. If it weren't for the rising sun, it would have ended here long ago. However, the rising sun did not end the famine either, because famine is often accompanied by the outbreak of epidemics. This land is still suffering from unprecedented tests. In that era, food was a luxury. Ye Chunwang was busy from the moment he opened his eyes until he fell on the bed and didn't want to move. He still had to endure hunger every day.

At that time, Ye Chunwang's only thought was that he could eat enough, but this wish remained the same until Ye Chunwang was 15 years old and the Brilliant City had been announced.

The reclaimed land was occupied by major forces, and trade and commerce began in the city. The first batch of currency in the Brilliant City was issued. Labor was exchanged for currency, and currency was used to buy food. The most primitive capital began.

The land is so vast that you can't see the end at a glance, and it is enough to feed everyone, but why do people still starve to death? Ye Chunwang didn't understand it very much, but later he realized that it was because humans had civilization and society, and finally the society had class distinctions, distinctions between rich and poor, and distinctions between high and low abilities, so some people starved to death, but humans could continue to progress.

This is a question that has been lamented countless times since the history of mankind.

"The land is so vast, and the land can feed everyone, but why do people still starve to death."

Ye Chunwang said, his eyes moistened a little. If development is to happen, some people will inevitably become the dust of history, and nothing will be left, but humans are always difficult to satisfy, and they can't satisfy their ever-expanding greed, so humans move forward, and keep moving forward.

In Ye Chunwang's opinion, the pattern of the Brilliant City may have been determined from the beginning, starting with the most primitive capital. Although the large and small forces later gave up the vast land after being allocated their own planting land, the land was not distributed to everyone in the city at this time, but was controlled by the Congress. This is also an inevitable or correct choice, or it is the wisest choice and practice of the gods.

The gods clearly know what capital will do. Once food is controlled by capital, the price of the city will be determined by capital, but in the end, the situation at the bottom is as bad as ever.

Since then, the riots in the city have never stopped. There are countless problems caused by hunger, and most people can only choose to use their own labor to ensure their survival, and finally continue to contribute to the city's development. When they come to their senses, they can no longer do it, but they have nothing.

Such things are cruel and ruthless, but the city has developed, the population continues to grow, life is becoming more and more technological and convenient, the ordinary people, the powerful, and the capitalists have never changed since the history of mankind.

Human technology is constantly improving, and it must be that only technology has improved in the past, but humans have never evolved from ancient times to the present. From the day when they had intelligence, they have not evolved until now.

Such lamentations may be eternal, as long as humans still exist in this world.

Ye Chunwang looked at the values ​​on the light and shadow panel with worry at this time. He knew very well that if he continued, let alone planting crops, this recovery site that had been built for three months would be destroyed, and once the sound of failure here was transmitted back to the city, the city would suffer a very serious blow.

Ye Chunwang clenched the small shovel in his fist, and the shovel was deformed due to the huge force. Some of the 12 section staff members next to him looked at Ye Chunwang in surprise, because Ye Chunwang had never shown his strength in front of people in the past.

Regarding Ye Chunwang's speculation, some people who have seen him in the past who served in the agricultural base said that he was very strong, as powerful as the former special management officer Hawke, but no one had ever seen him.

"Old man Ye, you..."

A student who used to be in Ye Chunwang's class next to him just wanted to ask but stopped. The small shovel had been squeezed by Ye Chunwang as if it was liquefied. Such strength was amazing, just like squeezing mud, and at this time Ye Chunwang's face was full of anger.

Ye Chunwang was very clear, it was clearer than ever that this plan had failed. If he continued, he would just watch the research land die, and such an approach was tantamount to a mantis trying to stop a car, and the result could only be failure.

The recovery of land is not that simple. It only takes a few days to destroy a piece of land, but it takes many years to revive a piece of land, or even no recovery. This is the most sad thing for Ye Chunwang. He has tried various methods to revive the land, but the recovery of the land is inseparable from the three things of sunlight, air, and water. They all need to be extremely stable and take a lot of years to complete.

At present, the eastern grain base has not been fully recovered. There are still many wastelands extending to the edge of the area bordering the south and the east.

Some land in the eastern grain base still needs to be further rectified before it can be used efficiently and produce more food. At present, the grain output in the eastern grain base is enough for the people of Brilliant City to eat for a few days. This is a considerable improvement. No one will starve to death due to hunger, and other problems will be caused by hunger. The grain deficit has been maintained at the level of 10 years.

Ye Chunwang stood up, and he kept calming down because the anger in his heart had already come out. He carefully left the experimental land, came to the side and called up a light and shadow screen, looking at the data of 30 crops collected by the 12 section staff today.

Basically, there is no ideal crop, and 18 of them have been planted for the second time, and the result is still the same as before, it is difficult to grow crops.

The situation will only get worse day by day, which is not what Ye Chunwang wants to see. Although the data cannot represent all, it can know part of the results, and this result is terrible.

"It's not good, the workers are rioting."

Accompanied by a voice, the 3 section staff who were originally stationed outside ran out in a hurry. Ye Chunwang suddenly jumped up, and his legs kicked hard on the metal wall with a bang, and the metal wall was dented in two pieces instantly.

Whoosh

Accompanied by a violent sound of breaking through the air, Ye Chunwang rushed out of the door in an instant. The moment he landed, his legs were like springs, and the moment he squatted, he bounced out again, and there were dots of green particles floating in the air.

10:03 in the morning

"We want to go back."

A worker stood on the top of the shed and shouted in the cold wind. At this time, the outskirts of the town had been surrounded by more than 300 people from Section 3. The people from Section 3 held guns and did not allow them to leave. This was an order issued by Zijuan. Workers who did not get permission were not allowed to leave, because when signing the contract, there was a clause that they must obey the orders of the Operations Department. Those who disobeyed the order would lose their qualifications and even be arrested on the spot.

"Everyone, don't get excited."

A director from Section 3 said. The workers in front were already angry. The chaotic voices came over like a tsunami. For a while, the scene was extremely chaotic. Some workers could no longer bear it. For them, it would be a good thing to be able to cultivate their own land, but the current situation is that they don't get a penny of salary every day, and they have to waste time here, without any hope at all.

"Be quiet!"

Accompanied by a burst of explosions in the loudspeaker, the workers instantly quieted down. A director from Section 3 stood on the roof with a loudspeaker.

"One by one, orders are orders. Everyone has signed a contract. If you want to go back, you must at least apply according to the steps."

"It's been three months, and it's completely different from what you agreed before."

"Yes, yes."

"It's impossible to grow anything, right?"

"This is simply a lie."

"We haven't made a penny in three months."

"Yes, I have a wife and children to support at home."

"Is this really a place for people to stay? Let alone growing anything, it's good enough to survive."

More and more questions, more and more voices kept ringing, and the director was stunned at this time. He didn't know how to answer the workers' questions. At this time, some workers who seemed to be bolder and more angry walked over. The people from Section 3 raised their sticks and asked the workers to go back to the shed.

The cause was just a simple verbal dispute. Some workers were dissatisfied with the liquid food they ate every day, and the working time was always here today and there tomorrow, which was not fixed at all. This was what the workers were dissatisfied with. Although people from Section 12 explained, everyone quarreled in the end.

Then more and more workers gathered in the shed. When they were about to fight, a director separated them. Then many workers said they would quit and started to walk out of the town and go back to the city.

Things began to develop in a direction that was increasingly difficult to control. All the members of Section 3 in the outer areas were recalled. Nearly 600 people were on guard here.

At this time, some members of Section 3 in the back row had already taken out their guns at the signal of some team leaders. These members of Section 3 had participated in a large number of riots and battles in the barrier area. They knew that if they continued to talk about reason and conditions at this time, they might die once the riot started.

Most of the people in Section 3 were the same. They only had liquid food every day, and they had to patrol 24 hours a day. Sometimes they had to help build windbreaks. Many people in Section 3 had not been back for three months. Dissatisfaction also permeated the staff of Section 3.

At this time, the director standing on the roof saw that some workers had already picked up their tools. In such a harsh and closed environment, there was no hope every day, which was an extremely harsh torture for everyone.

"The situation is unavoidable!"

The director said, intending to send an emergency contact signal to the Eastern Guard Station. It only takes 10 minutes for 3,000 people from Section 3 to come over. As he said this, the director called up a light and shadow screen, and the shouting below became more and more intense.

The members of Section 3 on the periphery were already nervous at this time, and some standing in the front row took out shields and electric batons. Once a conflict broke out, the situation would be very bad. At this time, someone noticed the actions of Section 3, and the shouting of liar liar became more and more intense.

No one dared to move, and the workers also realized that this was a complete scam, and it was impossible to complete the recovery of the land. If they continued to stay, they would only waste time and energy day by day, and people's Willpower will also become weaker and weaker.

"Everyone change into sticks, don't cause any accidents!"

The director on the roof said and issued the order. He had already edited the emergency contact signal. Just when he was about to send it, a hand grabbed him. The director turned his head and was startled.

"Old man Ye, why are you here?"

Ye Chunwang shook his head, took the phone call from the director, and turned up the loudspeaker equipment.

"Everyone, be quiet!"

Accompanied by a serious and tough voice, many workers looked at the top floor. It was a middle-aged man wearing only a thin white shirt. Everyone knew that his name was Ye Chunwang, and he was the former Eastern Grain Base The manager is also the creator of most of the current food technologies in Bright City.

"If we continue to argue and make trouble, what will be the consequences?"

Ye Chunwang asked. At this time, the voice gradually calmed down. Ye Chunwang directly asked the director next to him to turn on the lighting lights. At this time, many people felt something strange. These lights were only used in emergencies. When it was opened and used in the early stages of town construction, basically many times it could only be illuminated by some dim lights.

Because the power supply here is very large, and all the work sheds are equipped with hot water equipment and air smart machines, no one knows what Ye Chunwang is going to say.

"Everyone wants results as soon as possible, but the results are not certain from the beginning, and no promises were given before this plan started."

As soon as Ye Chunwang finished speaking, many workers became commotion again, and he continued.

"Everyone is working hard, not just everyone. Our 12th department is still conducting research in the experimental site every day, and the people in 3rd department are responsible for everyone not to be harassed by criminals. Although the food and use are indeed poor. A little bit, but isn’t this what pioneers are? Please think about it carefully. If anyone doesn’t want to stay, you can apply now. I will send you a lift to send you back directly. But this is tantamount to unilaterally tearing up the contract. We will not Everyone will be held accountable, and everyone will be compensated with a minimum salary of 500 yuan a month for the past three months, but you will need to bear a certain amount of tax, which will be replenished after tax is deducted. "

A burst of violent cheers sounded, and many people burst into tears of joy. Many people hugged each other happily, while the director of Section 3 next to him looked at Ye Chunwang with a livid face.

"Old man Ye, if you do this, just in case something happens here"

"People in the city also want to know the results and the progress of the orchard project as soon as possible. I will return to the city to give a televised speech later. Since everyone is eager to know, let me As long as they know, since everyone is complaining about the lack of wages, just give them some wages. These wages can be advanced from their future profits after the land is successfully reclaimed. Is there anything else you can do to stop this? "

Ye Chunwang knew very well that if he didn't do this, a bloody conflict would break out here today, and once the bloody conflict was over, there would be a riot that could spread to the city. He smiled and looked at the work shed that he had returned to. The young workers have already started carrying their own things and can’t wait to queue up. Everything that was originally chaotic now looks completely orderly.

"Just deduct the salary from the 12 subjects. The 12 subjects can still get such a small amount of money. It only needs a slightly worse meal on a certain day. The problem can be solved by just saving money for one meal. Why? What can be solved by mobilizing a large number of people to suppress it?”

The director next to him stood speechless. Ye Chunwang smiled and looked at the excited workers. He took out his phone and quickly dialed Natasha's number and spoke to Natasha. After understanding the situation here, Natasha's voice changed instantly.

"We can't let them come back, Old Man Ye, this matter"

"I want you to take the money right now and go to the entrance of the Eastern Guard Station. Every worker who goes out will be paid according to the calculation I just told you. No matter what the problem is, I will bear it alone. If there is really not enough money, , I will use my savings to subsidize 12 cores, okay Natasha!”

There was silence on the other side of the phone, and Natasha looked quite hesitant.

"How about I talk to Mr. Witte first?"

"You are Natasha, the secretary of Section 12. Mr. Witte is just a god. He cannot tell you how to solve the problem. The person who solves the problem is you, not Mr. Witte. And I have already said that I am solely responsible for any problems. , even if I am thrown into jail in the end, no matter what the outcome is."

"I I know."

The phone was hung up. At this time, a smile appeared on the face of the director next to him. For some reason, some workers who left actually joked with some people stationed in Section 3. Some shook hands and some hugged. The scene made people feel shocked. Perhaps it was not that everyone could not understand it, but that their spirits had been almost worn away by the hopeless night, and no sound could be heard anymore.

"Old man Ye, it's really your fault. I didn't expect it to be solved so easily."

"Many complex problems are actually very simple and can be solved simply, but everyone is making the problems more and more complicated and troublesome, and finally it turns into unsolvable problems."

Ye Chunwang is powerless to change the current situation in front of him, even the current situation of the city, and even the orchard plan. It is not possible to succeed just because you want to succeed, and there is no guarantee of promises, but the only thing Ye Chunwang can do is to solve some of the problems he sees in front of him. This is what someone taught him a long time ago.

"Miss Ellie! Sure enough, you are right."

Ye Chunwang's nose was sour, and he looked back at the sun in the city. Tears flowed out for a while. He was able to start farming, although it was prompted by Gene, but in fact, if Ellie hadn't brought him back when he was about to starve to death, he would not have been able to farm for a lifetime, nor would he have learned a lot.

"It would be great if you were still there, Miss Ellie, it would be great if you were still there, you are the eternal sun of Brilliant City!"

Ye Chunwang looked at the city behind him powerlessly, and could only shed tears silently, because he knew very well that Ellie was no longer there, and had become the sun, illuminating the city, but not illuminating people's hearts.
