Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

As dusk approaches, the rumble is still heard in the southern part of the ground floor. Many people have become accustomed to this sound. The sound will stop at 8 o'clock in the evening and start again at 6 o'clock in the morning the next day.

On a road that has been mostly built, vehicles carrying people or soil are constantly 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 who come to work in the barrier area not only have food and drink, but also 10 yuan to earn every day. The administrative department also gradually allows them to enter the residential area, but they can only buy some things and cannot stay.

This is already very good for many people who come to work in the barrier area. There are also construction teams coming back from outside the barrier. Many people are miserable. Building in the city is no problem for many people. But building under the harsh conditions of the Barrier Zone is simply life-threatening for many people.

If you are not careful, you may have to break down the work that was finally done and start over again. Due to the temperature of the wind and sand in the barrier area, some construction workers may have left after just two or three days of work.

Many people are lamenting how on earth these people living in the barrier zone survived.

At this time, a truck stopped on the street, and several people jumped out. Xiong Dabiao stretched his body and led a group of people to a restaurant.

"Boss, bring out the food and drink 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 are ready."

The boss immediately took Xiong Dabiao and a group of people to a table, and food was served immediately. Everyone was so hungry that they worked in disgrace all day long. The progress of the construction was far more difficult than they thought. .

Xiong Dabiao was in trouble today. The foundations in many places began to become unstable due to soil problems. Tomorrow, some of the things built today must be demolished and the foundations laid again.

Although it has been treated with rock coagulant, the surrounding fragile soil cannot withstand it, so the surrounding rock must also be solidified.

"This is really not something human beings do."

Eric muttered, and Xiong Dabiao picked up a chicken leg, put it directly into his mouth, chewed it up and swallowed the bones together.

Olivia was holding a bowl of soup and still blowing. Only a dozen or so people from the Lightning Skull Guild came, and the rest were in the city making various arrangements. It was so important to entrust such an important project to them. Everyone knew very well that at least there were no rioters among them who would harm the city. This was the most important reason why the Executive Branch was looking for them.

The experiment proposal in the barrier zone is too important. During this time, it can be seen that the people in Section 12 are under great pressure. The cultivation soil shipped from the city started to have problems within a few hours of arriving in the barrier zone.

So although the work of soil cultivation is still going on, the experiments of growing crops are almost only carried out in a few small test sites. The top priority now is to establish this experimental town so that there can be a slightly stable one. climate circle.

Use extremely strong high-rise buildings to block wind and sand, and then allow the temperature near the experimental farmland to reach a constant value, so that large areas of cultivated soil can be used to grow crops.

To complete this series of projects, manpower and technical personnel are on the one hand, and labor force is also on the other. These days, Xiong Dabiao has one head and two heads, because construction outside and construction in the city are two completely different concepts.

The waste treatment plant in the southwest is changing day by day, and it is now beginning to take shape. The construction of the waste treatment plant can be completed within three months at most, while the waste extraction plant surrounding the barrier area only takes a short period of time. It can be built in a few days because the latest light and shadow technology is used to directly lay the foundation of the extraction factory, and then all aspects of construction will begin immediately.

"No, this is too slow."

One of the members said, Xiong Dabiao drank a glass of beer and laughed.

"We cannot carry out large-scale construction operations, after all, this may damage the structure of the experimental farmland."

There are a lot of problems before everyone, and many people are completely at a loss now and can only wait for a bunch of technical engineers to come up with new solutions.

But looking at the bustling ground floor, several people are very happy now, because this is a scene they haven't seen in decades. Every street on the ground floor is extremely lively, and every shop is brightly lit.

At this moment, there was a commotion outside. Someone started making a noise. Xiong Dabiao and Eric got up. As soon as they walked out, they saw several people surrounding two people who looked like they were from the barrier area. They claimed that the two people had stolen something. Things, the two argued vigorously. Looking at the things they were carrying, several men surrounding them began to snatch them.

Soon the bag was torn, and the contents were spilled on the floor. Xiong Dabiao couldn't tell if they were some bread scraps. Some stores would give away some of these things every day, but they would also sell them.

After a while, people from Section 5 came over and stopped the commotion. The two people from the barrier area said that they took it for free and did not steal it. Most of the people at the bottom knew that there were so many people at the bottom now. The leftover materials can also be sold for a lot of money, and you can even make a lot of money.

The two were soon taken away by the business department. The team leader directly warned the two that they would probably 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 about the food. Okay, Xiong Dabiao, you should go back and rest quickly. I heard that you are quite 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.

"Why don't you try 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 for people in the barrier area where they can use their wages to buy some living necessities.”

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.
