Chapter 1056 Is Red Maple Factory a Cow?

Of course, although the engineering tasks were heavy, Mr. Ai Newman, who was in charge of the engineering, did not draw manpower from the factory, but recruited a large number of laborers from the surrounding Lumina tribe who were still living in the agricultural era.

...Although these words sound a bit suspicious of artificially dividing occupations into high places, we have to admit that the technical content of metallurgical workers is indeed a little bit higher than that of construction workers.Coupled with the universal version of the labor-type 5 power gloves, Lumina young adults who are good at plowing and grazing are also good at digging soil.

To be honest, although construction work is heavy, it is not necessarily more tiring than farming and grazing.What's more, the salary including food and housing is much more than that of digging in the field.

In short, for the local people of Lumina, the past may have been difficult and dangerous, but the present is full of vitality, and the future is full of hope.When this workers' club located on the site of the ancient capital of Thurrow was completed, everyone was even more certain of this.

"After it's repaired, it will be ours?" asked the construction workers who were just herdsmen and hunters half a year ago.

"Yes, this place is ours now! Everyone will be the workers of Lumina Construction Company in the future! The apartments in Xincheng have been repaired, and everyone is eligible to share a set." The cadres transferred from Hongfeng Factory Explained: "The projects in the Cultural Palace, except for the stores opened by merchants, are free with tickets."

"Long live the Red Maple Factory!" The construction workers cheered.

In such an atmosphere, a stage has been set up on the square at the main entrance of Thurrow Palace, which has been restored one-to-one.Two Luminas and three earth youths have already climbed up to the stage, carrying various musical instruments by the way.Among them, the largest and strongest Lumina man even wore four drums around his waist.

Then, after a rumbling sound like the beating of war drums, the remaining boys also picked up their musical instruments one after another.Then, the only human girl on the stage uttered a high-pitched singing voice.

"Everything you touch, see, taste, feel!

Everything you love, hate, disbelieve, save!
Everything you give, trade, buy, beg, borrow or steal!

Everything you create, destroy, say and do, everything you eat!

Encounters, contempt, struggles, everything is going on!

What has been lost is to come!
Everything is fine under the starry sky, but it is covered by the abyss! "

In all fairness, this little girl's singing skills are at the level of KTV Maiba, and her treble can't be controlled, so she might be out of tune.However, although the technique is so-so, the emotion is full.

What's more, for ordinary laborers, the high-pressure court music and the wonderful avant-garde music are too lowly, but such passionate tunes and straightforward lyrics are indeed easy for them to empathize with.

Mr. Ai Newman asked in surprise, "This song?"

The theme song "Under the Stars" of "Cold Hills", although the film was officially released in mid-January, but the original soundtrack has already been released. I asked Fina to send a copy in advance. It was sung at the celebration." The young lady mayor laughed.

"Haha, this is not a commercial concert, Huanyu shouldn't be looking for trouble, right?" Mr. Ai Newman laughed, "These little guys in the Thai metal band can't afford lawyers."

The Thai metal band is a band built by the workers of the Red Maple Factory. The earliest leader was Babaru who was also a drummer, and the first lead singer and deputy leader was Busca.It's a pity that one of the two went to study in the alliance, and the other went to the New World to aid in construction—of course it is said that they are coming back soon—the second lead singer and captain was replaced by a little girl who worked as an accountant in a textile factory in the third industry.

To be honest, they are self-entertaining fanciers whose main job is still working in the factory, not to mention any professional ability, let alone any superb artistic achievements, but the workers just like them.This amateur band even went to the next door to New Seville to participate in the celebration party after the completion of the cross-sea light track, and it was also very popular with the fishermen on that ocean planet.

Now, since it is a New Year's party for the laborers of Lumina, the protagonist should be an "artist" who has come out of the laborers.Even their artistic level is actually not that professional, not that elegant, not that serious, and it doesn't fit the aesthetic temperament of "Yangchun Baixue".

Director Ruhr said: "If the copyright is in the hands of Huanyu, it's best not to quarrel with them. What's more, we will soon cooperate with them to build this fantasy paradise."

"It's okay, it's okay. The copyright is actually in the hands of Frostpunk and Miss Selina Mayor. Fina said that they are all her own. As long as they don't take it out for commercial performances, then it's fine." Zhixia smiled. Said: "Today is a party, and the movie theater in the Cultural Palace will officially open at noon tomorrow. I found all the sources of "Galaxy Ranger" and "League of the Lost Treasure" for everyone, and they can be broadcast in rotation."

"Let everyone have a good rest for two days, and go back to work on January 1." The old engineer from Minlan said with a smile: "I originally wanted to take a week off, but everyone said that only two days is enough."

Ye Zhixia nodded and didn't say anything else, but she was already thinking about what benefits should be reissued to everyone.

Before the new year, the year-end bonus and various new year benefits have been distributed, and everyone is very satisfied.After the Chinese New Year, the work time that everyone sacrificed during the holidays should be counted as overtime pay.In addition, think about sending some sugar, wine, snacks and daily necessities to everyone's home.Next year, some new leisure facilities will be added to the Cultural Palace, and the latest blockbuster will also be arranged for the cinema.

Although the workers all want to build this new city early, they are full of morale and fighting spirit, and they are all prepared to sacrifice the New Year holidays for voluntary labor, but she herself cannot think about it that way.Since the factories and administrative offices are well-funded, they must not casually sacrifice the interests of the workers.Otherwise, it will definitely develop path dependence, and it will be hard to return by then.

These expenses are all paid from the finances of the Planetary Administration.If the "supporting" civil servants from the central government objected, or if they were obedient and obedient, she would have a reason to rectify order.

Anyway, the huge Lumina planet has a population of less than [-] million so far, and some of it is uncultivated wasteland.It is also very reasonable for a civil servant to accidentally be eaten by a chocobo when he goes to the countryside for inspection.

All in all, the workers are full of fighting spirit, waiting to rest for two days and continue to work hard, putting together the city they built brick by brick early.Of course, you can only work better with better rest and hilarity.

Ye Zhixia and his team (for now) still believe that they are also a member of the workers, so they will inevitably be affected by this atmosphere, so they let go of their worries and joined in happily.

At the high (meow) tide of the party, even the young lady mayor threw away her coat, and jumped onto the stage in a red dress, accompanied by a group of dancers who appeared as guest dancers from the third factory weaver girls , danced a section of passionate flamenco for everyone, and immediately brought the atmosphere of the scene to its peak.

After the dance ended and Zhixia stepped down, she said to the two elders with regret: "It would be great if Lilia came to lead the dance. She taught me this part. It's a pity that Colonel Lilia is expanding her militia. The left and right are also warlord ladies, once there are more people and guns, they will manage everything like a real queen."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw strange expressions on the faces of Director Ruhr and Mr. Emmanuel.

"what happened?"

The director of Ruhr raised his personal terminal, and saw that a half-body projection had popped up directly on it, but it was Lilia Alfonso "Colonel".

"Oh, did you hear that?"

"Now please call me Major Lilia Alfonso." Miss Lilia Alfonso said seriously.

Zhixia was slightly taken aback, then took a closer look, and found that the other party was not wearing the snow-white militia uniform of New Seville itself, but the serious uniform of the Marine Corps of the Community, and was immediately amused: "Oh, you have been conscripted? Recovery Are you in the military?"

From "colonel" to major, of course, is not a downgrade.You must know that most of the earth immigrants in New Seville are Hispanic, and the "colonel" is not a military rank, but the reason for the highest officer of the militia.Although he is a major now, he is a formal military position, which sounds much taller than the rabble of the militia.

"Tsk, you are promoted faster than me." Zhixia was a little jealous.

She is also an excellent student of the Central National Defense University. Even if she chooses not to join the army after graduation, she still has the rank of lieutenant in the reserve service. Unfortunately, she has never been promoted again.

Although she is now the executive officer of this planet, theoretically in charge of 830 million people, she is actually the most powerful among the [-] graduates, but in terms of military position, she is still the middle of the reserve.

"Who told me that someone with a gun is a warlord." Lilia laughed.

Ye Zhixia couldn't help but rolled his eyes: "Tell me, what's the matter? Could it be another batch of materials being destroyed? 120 tons of Thai alloy, [-] million tons of ordinary steel, I just gave it to you ten days ago It’s been sent out. Haven’t all your vertical cross-sea light tracks been repaired? The horizontal ones are still under planning, and the construction will have to wait until the next year, right?”

Lilia smiled and said: "Not only that, but now even Line 3 and Line 4 are being planned. Our current plan is to build 30 light track lines within 10 years, so that all inhabited islands can be covered. Connected."

"Subway? Are you building a subway on the planet's surface?"

"What's wrong?" Lilia said with a smile, "The Azure Paradise of the Empire, Yushan of the Alliance, and Mr. Emmanuel's hometown, Aoyang Paradise, are all of this standard."

...Because those two are the most famous vacation and business sanctuaries in the two countries, and the last one is the capital of Minlan Republic, with a permanent population of more than 30 billion.

Although Zhixia wanted to say that, she felt that she should not throw cold water on people casually. After all, dreams are still very important.Anyway, it is a long-term plan spanning 30 years. Even if it is realized, I will become an old lady... Tsk, it is really hard to imagine that day!

"Then what? You don't want me to prepare the materials for your Line 10 right now?" Zhixia joked.

Lilia seemed to hesitate for a moment, and said: "It's more troublesome than this. I hope that the Red Maple Factory can prepare 6 tons of Thai alloys and 30 million tons of other metal consumables for warships and space stations before June next year." .I'll send you the list in a minute."

Zhixia pressed her temples, then looked at the two old men.

Of course, the old factory manager and the old engineer were very calm, without any fluctuations in expression.

"There are still 2000 million tons of weapons, and I will give you the list together. Anyway, Hongfeng's arsenal has resumed work."

Zhixia gritted her teeth and said, "It's only been half a year since work resumed... Also, what do you want so much for? Is New Seville preparing to rebel? Don't forget, the Ninth Fleet now has a squadron and a brigade. The Marine Corps is permanently stationed in the Lumina system."

"It wasn't me, it was purchased for the Ninth Fleet and the Far Coast Military District. Don't worry, the military expenses are still abundant, and you won't be short of a penny." Lilia pointed to the rank of major on her collar badge: "I am now The liaison officer of the Far Coast Military District Command stationed in Lumina. Responsible for the procurement of this batch of good consumables and ammunition, and have to signal the two division defense forces from New Seville."

Zhixia frowned slightly, only then realized that things didn't seem so simple.

Lilia said: "After the Lucknar star gorge, the Bakwe people and the Angman people gathered eight main battleships, and invited the Bakwe Royal Fleet and the Imperial Squadron stationed nearby to conduct a siege military exercise. .”

"A military exercise? Hehe, isn't the empire still fighting with us in the New World?" Zhixia sneered.

"That's right. So the opposite said that they are reinforcements who are going to be transferred to the front line of the New World. Of course, the exercise is for training."

"...Hehehe, the aristocrat is very decent when he is shameless!" Zhixia was amused.

"There is no way. With the current strength of our Ninth Fleet, we can only rely on the strongholds of Lucknar Corridor and Earl Star Gorge for defensive operations. That's why we need to prepare in advance."

Lilia sighed: "Hold on until the next year, the Ninth Fleet will have three new Dreadnoughts! They are the ones built by our Master Yu Lian. When the time comes, rush out of Xingxia to scare those birdmen And the Red Monkey can also do it. But now, we can only continue to stabilize the defense line. The good news is that since Yu Lian and the others demolished the city of Kerna, it is impossible for large troops to cross the nebula. Lu As a logistics base, the Mina galaxy is still very safe."

"The logistics base is a ghost! It's almost turning into a cow." Zhixia said angrily: "We are still supplying goods to New World and New China."

Lilia smiled: "I know about the new Shenzhou. Mr. Qi said that they can at least support the garrison of 10 divisions to the front line of the military region. Now even Dana is mobilizing those cowboys. Anyway, there is no shortage of manpower. All you need are your weapons!"

"...How do I feel, if the empire really comes from the Lucknar Corridor and Earl I star gorge, the military headquarters is going to rely on the entire far coast star area, and even the land of the new Shenzhou star area. Have you resisted?"

"It's not something that Commander Sylvester can be sure of, but he is actually planning to live and die with the far-shore defense line. All the mobilization and military purchases are for strengthening the defense line." Lilia Said: "This has also been approved by the Commander Headquarters."

"I understand. But, is it too sensitive? The Bakovian birdmen and the Angman monkeys practice on the opposite side of the nebula almost every year, and they often invite the empire to participate."

Lilia nodded: "Yes...so this is the opinion of the commander's headquarters?"

"Grandpa Paris's? Or the National Defense Committee?"

"The inauguration ceremony of the new president has not yet been held, and the chairman of the National Defense Commission has not yet taken office... However, I heard that this is not the opinion of Marshal Paris, but the opinion of the front line in the New World."
