Chapter 164: Improvement (Part 1)
As dusk approached, the rumbling sound still sounded in the southern part of the bottom floor. Many people have become accustomed to such sounds. The sound will stop at 8 o'clock in the evening and start again at 6 o'clock the next morning.
On a road that has been built for the most part, there are constantly cars carrying people or soil passing by. In the past few days, many people from the barrier area have entered the city. They all have a temporary identity card and wallet card.
These people from the barrier area who come to work not only have food and drink every day, but also 10 yuan to take. The operation department also gradually allows them to enter the residential area, but they can only buy some things and cannot stay.
This is very good for many people who come to work in the barrier area. There are also construction teams returning from outside the barrier. Many people are miserable. Building in the city is completely no problem for many people, but building under such harsh conditions in the barrier area is simply fatal for many people.
If you are not careful, the place that has been done with great difficulty may have to be broken and rebuilt. Because of the wind, sand and temperature in the barrier area, some construction workers may have left after just two or three days.
Many people were wondering how these people living in the fortress area survived.
At this time, a truck stopped on the street, and several people jumped off it. Xiong Dabiao stretched his body and walked to a restaurant with a group of people.
"Boss, bring out the food and drinks for me."
Many people in the restaurant were frightened for a while, and the boss ran over with a smile.
"Oh, you have worked hard, and it was ready."
The boss immediately took Xiong Dabiao and a group of people to a table, and someone served the dishes immediately. Everyone was very hungry and worked all day in a dusty state. The progress of the construction was much more difficult than they thought.
Xiong Dabiao had a setback today. Many foundations began to become unstable due to soil layer problems. Tomorrow, some of the things built today must be demolished and the foundation must be rebuilt.
Although it has been treated with rock solidifier, the surrounding fragile soil cannot withstand it, so the surrounding area must also be rock solidified.
"This is really not a human thing to do."
Eric muttered, Xiong Dabiao picked up a chicken leg and put it directly into his mouth, chewing it up and swallowing it with the bones.
Olivia was holding a bowl of soup and blowing it. Only more than ten people from the Lightning Skeleton Guild went, and the rest were dispatching in the city. Everyone knew that such an important project could be entrusted to them. At least there were no rioters who would harm the city among them. This was the most important reason why the Operations Department found them.
The experimental proposal in the Barrier Zone was too important. During this period of time, it can be seen that the people in the 12th Department were under great pressure. The cultivation soil transported from the city had problems within a few hours of arriving in the Barrier Zone.
So although the soil cultivation work is still going on, there are almost only a few small test sites for the experiment of planting crops. Now the top priority is to build this experimental town so that there can be a slightly stable climate circle.
Use extremely sturdy high-rise buildings to block the wind and sand, and then let the temperature near the experimental farmland reach a constant value, so that the cultivation soil can be used on a large scale to plant crops.
To complete this series of projects, manpower and technicians are one aspect, and labor is another. Xiong Dabiao has been overwhelmed these days, because the construction outside and the construction in the city are two completely different concepts.
The waste treatment plant in the southwest is changing every day. Now it has taken shape. The construction of the waste treatment plant can be completed within three months at most, and the waste extraction plant surrounding the barrier area can be built in just a few days, because it uses the latest light and shadow technology to directly lay the foundation of the extraction plant, and then all aspects of construction will start immediately.
"No, this is too slow."
A member said, and Xiong Dabiao took a beer and drank a glass and laughed.
"We can't carry out large-scale construction work, after all, this may damage the structure of the experimental farmland."
There are a lot of problems in front of everyone, and many people are now completely helpless. They can only wait for a group of technical engineers to come up with new solutions.
But looking at the lively bottom floor, a few people are also very happy now, because this is a scene that has not been seen in decades. Every street on the bottom floor is extremely lively, and every store is brightly lit.
At this time, there was a commotion outside, and someone started to make a noise. Xiong Dabiao and Eric stood up and just walked out when they saw several people surrounding two people who were obviously from the Barrier District. They claimed that the two had stolen something. The two tried their best to defend themselves. Looking at the things they were holding, the men surrounding the two began to snatch them.
Soon the bag broke and the things inside were scattered all over the floor. Xiong Dabiao saw that they were just some bread scraps. These things were given away by some stores every day, but they were also sold.
Soon, people from Section 5 came over and stopped the commotion. The two people from the Barrier District said that they took it for free and did not steal it. Most people at the bottom knew that with so many people at the bottom now, scraps could be sold for a lot of money, and even a lot of money could be made.
Soon the two were taken away by the Action Department. The team leader directly warned the two that they were likely to lose the opportunity to work in the city because the two had caused trouble.
Olivia frowned slightly, Xiong Dabiao had already walked over.
"We haven't found out anything yet, so you just listen to their side of the story?"
The appearance of Xiong Dabiao shocked many people nearby. Several people from Section 5 directly said that these two people were not citizens of the city, and that if people from the barrier area entered the urban living area, if any commotion was caused, they would be directly Repatriate to the Barrier Zone.
"Then the matter must at least be investigated thoroughly. You guys said they stole things, did you see it with your own eyes?"
However, no matter what Xiong Dabiao said, the two of them were still taken away and would be sent directly back to the barrier area where they would lose their temporary identity information and wallet cards.
Xiong Dabiao was furious, but Olivia held him back.
"Don't worry about it. It can't be managed. There are many people like this every day."
But at this time, Olivia saw a few people laughing, the same people who had just accused the two of stealing things. Olivia and Xiong Dabiao immediately asked all the nearby dessert shops, and sure enough, a dessert shop The boss said he saw how pitiful they were, so he gave it to them without asking for any money.
The angry Xiong Dabiao went directly to the local public security office.
Soon the local scientific officer came down. He was an old acquaintance of Xiong Dabiao.
"We can't control this matter. They are not citizens of Brilliant City at all, so we can't do any investigation on them regardless of the system or the law. They can stay in the city for a while and eat something different. You should be happy if you get the food. Okay, Xiong Dabiao, you should go back and have a rest. I heard that you are very busy now. "
After a while, Xiong Dabiao and Olivia walked helplessly on the street. If the people in the barrier area want to obtain real citizenship, they need to successfully establish an agricultural base in the barrier area.
However, all this seems to be far away from the two of them, because at this stage, it is extremely difficult to even build houses in the barrier area, let alone grow food and let the sun shine into the barrier area.
"Why don't you call Niya Dabiao."
Xiong Dabiao scratched his head for a while and then smiled helplessly.
"Forget it, she must be very busy over there. We can't solve this kind of thing."
Both of them knew this helplessness, because the people in the city looked at the people in the barrier area with colored glasses, thinking that they were just pests and criminals.
At the bottom, people from many districts even organized themselves to prevent people from the barrier districts from going to their areas.
Because this understanding has existed for more than half a century, it is impossible to change many people's views on people in the barrier area. Just recently, the armed forces in the barrier area are still ready to move, hoping to cooperate with the rioters in the city. Attacking the city, many people are criticizing the Xingke Branch, and people from the barrier zone should not be allowed to enter the city.
Many people in fringe areas claim to feel scared because they don't know what crimes the criminals in these barrier areas have committed in the past.
"Do you want to go back? We are only halfway through eating."
Xiong Dabiao sighed.
"I've just eaten and I'm half full. Let's go for a walk first, and then we can find a place to sit and have a drink."
At this time, fierce cheers erupted not far away, and many people ran towards that direction.
Soon Xiong Dabiao and Olivia also passed by. It was the venue for a talent show held in the ground floor area. It was in a square. There were people outside. Many people were sitting on chairs and watching. Everyone at the scene was there. Cheers, because Le Xiao, the secretary of Section 13, has just arrived to see this event.
"How about trying that girl?"
Olivia said and Xiong Dabiao nodded. The two of them went directly to the back and saw a group of people from Section 5 standing next to the lift. As soon as they walked over, they were ordered to leave.
"We have something we want to discuss with Master Le Xiao later. It's a problem in the barrier zone."
Olivia or the people from Section 5 said nothing. After a while, Le Xiao came over. She hurriedly stepped into the lift when she saw the two of them, as if she had seen them somewhere.
"Are you the president and vice-president of the Lightning Skull Guild? Wow, it's true, I remembered it, hahaha."
Le Xiao held the hands of the two of them, and the two of them were a little confused. Le Xiao knew them because they had done a lot of volunteer work at the bottom in the past, and even helped nearby residents repair their houses and water and electricity where they lived. , it’s really good.
"Master Le Xiao has something I hope you can listen to."
Le Xiao hummed, and Olivia told what happened just now. Le Xiao was a little surprised.
"How can those people falsely accuse others? It's really abominable."
"It doesn't mean that people from barrier areas must have the same rights as city citizens. I also know that this is simply not possible."
Olivia said, Le Xiao scratched his head, and Xiong Dabiao sighed. He knew it was useless to come to Le Xiao to talk because the problem was too difficult.
"Okay, let's find some merchants to sell some goods for people and daily life, and set up a small market near the work places of the people in the barrier area. Since the people at the bottom don't want them to go to the bottom In the area, wouldn’t it be nice to provide a market where people in the barrier area can buy some living necessities with their wages.”
The two of them looked at Le Xiao in surprise, feeling that this was really a genius in solving the problem, and this was such a great way.
"Leave it to me. I will finish participating in the event later and contact some businessmen when I get back. There is no need to submit anything for such a small matter. You only need to report it to Section 5."
Watching Le Xiao enter the landing gear, the two bowed slightly.
It is true that many people from the barrier areas who come to the citizen living area want to buy some daily necessities and take them out. This is what they deserve. Although the salary is only 10 yuan a day, for many people from the barrier areas come Said it was already very good.
"I didn't expect it to be solved so easily."
Xiong Dabiao happily pulled Olivia and planned to have a drink.
Early the next morning, as soon as Xiong Dabiao got on the truck, he saw a piece of news. The Business Department issued an announcement that several small markets would be established to meet the needs of people in the barrier areas. People in the barrier areas would earn When wages are reached, everyone can go to the market to buy what they need, but they are not allowed to enter residential areas.
Just when the two were about to arrive at the southern guard station, they had already seen the vendors' carts. Some vendors had gathered, and some people from the barrier area had already begun to go over to look at some products.
"Hopefully there will be a solution today."
Xiong Dabiao smiled happily. Soon the truck arrived at the construction site. The construction site was very chaotic. Many professional workers had already started working. The two came directly to the office and watched the engineers still discussing fiercely. It seems that no solution can be found for the time being.
"It's better to build walls on the outside first. The thickness should be at least fifty centimeters and the height should be at least five meters. This can effectively solve the difficulty of construction in windy sand."
This opinion makes many people think it is feasible, but the construction time will be greatly increased, because if a 50 cm thick wall needs to be built in such a large circle, it will exceed a length of fifty kilometers, which is not practical at present.
"Just use this stupid method and implement it first."
Ye Chunwang stepped in, and everyone in the room stood up. Xiong Dabiao was surprised, because if the wall project was included, the budget would increase exponentially.
"This is the best way to solve the problem of wind and sand. Wasn't it because of the construction of tall barriers to achieve regional stability on this land?"
Ye Chunwang said with a smile, and soon a group of people began to discuss.
