Doomsday Bunker Upgrade

"I'm going out!" In the morning, after breakfast, Cao Min packed up the leftover emergency food packages, greeted his family, and prepared to go out with his equipment.

Before the disaster, Cao Min also had a good job and a happy family, but the disaster struck and ruined his originally happy life.

Today Cao Min is just an ordinary construction worker. Although it is very different from his previous job, it is not easy to have a stable job in today's environment.

Although the country attaches great importance to talents, truly capable people will be recruited by the country to engage in jobs similar to those before the disaster, but there are industry restrictions.

Talents in technology-based industries such as manufacturing and R\u0026D can naturally find new jobs smoothly, but personnel in tertiary industries such as services and finance have become difficult to find suitable jobs in this era.

This is actually the necessity of the times and the environment. The development of the tertiary industry is based on the prosperity and development of a country's overall economy. Because people have money, they want to enjoy more services.

The poor can't even afford food, so why would they want more services?

This is also the reason why Cao Min is just an ordinary construction worker now. In the shelter he is in, this is the only job that can give him enough income to support his family.

Because of post-disaster reconstruction, construction workers are currently the most in-demand job. Although there are other better jobs in various shelters, they are not available to ordinary people.

For an ordinary person like Cao Min who has no special skills, a construction worker who simply sells his physical strength is the most suitable job right now.

Cao Min's work today is not complicated. He only needs to go to the construction site outside the shelter to complete the cleaning of the ruins of the old city and the leveling of the land.

This is a simple job that can be done with enough physical strength, so there is no difficulty, it is just a little tiring.

For Cao Min, it doesn’t matter if he is a little tired. Anyway, he is still young, and he will be full of energy the next day after returning home from work. As long as he can have enough income every day to support his family, for Cao Min It's okay to be a little tired.

Just when Cao Min and his fellow workers gathered on the construction site, ready to start a day's work, the foreman stopped them.

"Recently, the higher-ups will start a new project, and some people will be transferred from our side." The foreman said a news that was a bit unexpected to the workers, and continued to make additional explanations: "The good news is that they have been transferred to the past." Workers' benefits will be increased by 10%, but the bad news is that because the location of the new project is close to the county and far from the urban area, all workers transferred there need to live on the construction site until the project is completed.

Of course, there is still a holiday every week to come back. Currently, registration is voluntary. Does anyone want to register? "

What the foreman said made everyone hesitate and move. 10% more income is undoubtedly very tempting in the current environment. After all, what is distributed is not money but real supplies, which can feed the whole family. Wear something warm.

But living on the construction site, this inevitably makes everyone feel a little bit drummed.

It didn't matter before the disaster, it was just that the accommodation conditions were poorer and more difficult.

But in the current environment, living on the construction site is not just a poor condition, if it is not done well, people will freeze to death.

Of course, the workers also know that since the country has decided to do this, of course it will not say that people will actually freeze to death, and all accommodation conditions should still be guaranteed.

As for whether it is a good place to live, in today's world, it is good to have a place to live, whether it is good or not is not important at all.

But for the vast majority of people, they still prefer to live in a safe and familiar environment like a shelter, and are less willing to take risks in unfamiliar environments.

However, there are also some people who covet the 10% extra income and raised their hands, expressing their willingness to work in new projects.

Cao Min is naturally one of them.

Although he said he didn't want to leave his wife and family, and he wasn't greedy for the extra 10% income, Cao Min had reasons why he had to.

His wife is pregnant.

This is a happy thing, whether it was before the disaster or in this terrible environment.

Especially when people's livelihood is difficult now, it is a happy thing to be able to add children to the family, to have a child of one's own between the husband and wife, and to be the crystallization of love.

But it is also a heavy burden.

Of course, the state has subsidies in this regard. Pregnant women can get half of the rations to supplement nutrition, and there are additional subsidies after the baby is born.

This can also be regarded as the country's encouragement for population fertility under the current environment.

It’s just that even with these things, given the current conditions, it’s still not as good as before the disaster. Among other things, the chicken that Cao Min could buy casually before the disaster is something Cao Min dare not even think about now.

All he can think of and achieve is that he can do more to save more rations for his wife and the child who is about to be born, so that the child will not be hungry before it is born.

And those who voluntarily go to work on the construction site, in fact, most of them are such people, maybe they want to save more rations for their families, or there are other reasons, at least they are bachelors and want to eat more.

In short, the foreman quickly recruited enough workers and registered them one by one.

The new project hasn't started yet, and they don't need to go there so early. It's just to confirm the list.

After watching the foreman register his name, Cao Min felt relieved a lot, and then returned to the construction site with his fellow workers and started today's work.

Although the country decided to put the newly built dome city on the county side because of geological disasters, it does not mean that the urban area is completely abandoned.

Although the area of ​​the subsidence is not small, fortunately, it is not an urban area, and geological experts have checked and confirmed that the geological structure of the urban area is still stable. Although the groundwater level has dropped, it is not to the point where the city needs to be abandoned .

Therefore, the final plan is to build a new city in the county, but the existing urban area on the urban side will not give up, but will first relocate part of the population to the new city, while the urban area will carry out ruins clearing and land leveling, leaving room for The possibility of building a dome city in the urban area.
