Chapter 1787 "Captain", are you coming?
Chapter 1787 "Captain", are you coming back?
In general, most of the people in the Far Shore Star Region reacted rather indifferently to Yu Lian’s relocation order. Xinshuntian, the capital of the star region with a population of over one billion, was a very typical example.
Yu Lian did not think this was a big sin. No matter what era it was, wanting to live was never a sin.
Fortunately, since there are those who are uncooperative, there are certainly those who are quite cooperative.
For example, there is the New Tennessee planet where Miss Dana Jefferson is the secretary general of the Farmers and Livestock Association; another example is the New Seville planet where Miss Lilia Alfonso is the chief of staff of the militia and commander of the Light Track Gendarmerie; and the last example is Lumina, where Miss Ye Zhixia is the head of the planetary office and mayor of Maple City.
Putting aside the armed cowboys of New Tennessee and the armed fishermen of New Seville, the 500,000 technicians who set out from Lumina to New Shenzhou were indeed the technical backbone of all the Red Maple Factory.
Before the main force of the remaining fleet broke away from the encirclement and rushed to the Shanhai Channel, the girls had already arrived in New Shenzhou with their own people and even had a new factory. Dana led the cowboys to open up the land in Tianshu, Lilia led the militia veterans to reorganize into the Marine Corps, and Zhixia directly joined the Star Region Military Control Committee as a deputy secretary. Everyone had a bright future.
"These little foxes did a good job." This is how Feifei commented, acting like a leader.
Of course, whether in her student days or her current military rank, she is indeed considered a leader among the girls.
The girls did a great job. Without them, Yu Lian's migration order would not have been carried out to this extent.
The urban area of Fengcheng has doubled since Yu Lian was there, but the Red Maple Factory has expanded more than ten times. It is now the largest heavy industrial complex in the entire Far Shore Star Region, with metallurgy as its core.
But even a factory like the Red Maple Factory would inevitably fall into trouble after Zhixia took away 500,000 skilled technicians and engineers in all core positions.
So, maybe Mr. Ruger is the only engineer left in the entire Red Maple Factory. Yu Lian looked at the old factory director and couldn't help thinking.
Mr. Ruger said frankly, "I am the only engineer left at the Red Maple Factory, an old man waiting to retire to deal with the aftermath."
It turns out to be true!
"The factory lacks skilled workers, and if we force production, accidents will easily occur. However, once production is stopped, some large equipment will be shut down and accidents will easily occur." The factory director continued: "So, my last job before retirement is to dismantle the four solar furnaces."
The blast furnace has to be dismantled because the steel plant is going to have a long holiday. That's what the factory director said.
Yu Lian looked at the five man-made structures that stood in the core of the factory, all of which were over a hundred meters tall. From the outside, they looked like pyramids made of pipes and metal modules, which still had a sense of technology. Naturally, there was not much left of the green-skinned style of the patchwork mix of building blocks.
Yu Lian was a little hurt. This was not the Red Maple Factory he was familiar with.
"You could have done it a long time ago," he said to the factory manager.
"Hahaha, but, after all, wasn't this stove designed by you? We still want to ask for your opinion."
What I "designed" was actually just a green product, Yu Lian thought.
"Tear it down," he said in a calm tone.
Mr. Ruger also nodded calmly. As an old factory director who had personally seen these solar furnaces rise from the ground, he was even calmer than Yu Lian.
A few seconds later, through the windows of the city hall, Yu Lian clearly saw that four huge pyramid-shaped "buildings" comparable to high-rise buildings collapsed rapidly like a building block tower with the load-bearing main body removed. The core equipment for producing Tyrell alloy was submerged in huge smoke and dust, and completely disappeared from Yu Lian's sight.
What a decisive and efficient old factory manager!
"Long live!" Cheers suddenly broke out at the city hall.
Under Yu Lian's stunned gaze, everyone began to applaud. Two old Lumina men, dressed like fighting cocks, even jumped up and started an awkward dance arm in arm, like two giant longicorns fighting.
Yu Lian felt that the scene was indeed a bit too cheerful. Even if it was a happy funeral, there wouldn't be so much singing and dancing.
"What a touching scene!" Commander Alfonso wiped away his non-existent tears and looked in the direction of the complete collapse of the solar furnace. His tone was full of sighs: "Our offshore optical track loop and our tidal power generation array were all produced by those four big guys. It's as if we are sending off four dedicated veterans!"
Director Luger laughed heartily: "So, they have indeed completed their historical mission."
"And our shipyards and arsenals, they have also completed their historical missions. Probably..." Mr. Alfonso rubbed his hands and lit a pipe for himself.
The Lumina Shipyard and Arsenal were both orbital production facilities, theoretically the common property of the two planets. In fact, in the early stages of construction, New Seville invested more money.
"We had originally thought that the shipyard would be able to produce destroyers by next year and recover the costs, but now that's all gone," said Commander Alfonso.
Director Luger comforted his old partner: "At least the shipyard has produced a total of 50 torpedo ships and 200 fighters. Oh, yes, General Yu, don't forget that there are 40 Red Ghosts in the shipyard hangar. They just came off the production line last month, and the plastic seal on the gear gear has not been removed. Be sure to bring them. In addition, there are 100 pilots who have just completed training, including 20 Lumina stick guys."
"There's still plenty of room on my ship." Yu Lian said. He really didn't expect there would be an unexpected surprise. Fighters and pilots are never too few. However, compared to the fighters, what made him more pleased was actually the Lumina pilots.
Who says a two-meter-tall beetle with four arms can't fly a plane? Doesn't this show that our community fighter plane is versatile?
This is the working people’s fighter plane.
Director Ruger thought for a moment and opened his terminal again: "And our arsenal has produced 1000 million rifles and million AKs in the last week."
"What about these weapons?" Yu Lian stared at the old factory director.
"They are all buried in the vast forests and boundless grasslands of Lumina. They can never be found again." The factory director spread out his hands and said seriously.
Yu Lian couldn't help but look at Mr. Alfonso again. The latter took a deep sip of his pipe, his face flashing with a nonchalant look like a fisherman: "The other half sank into the deep sea of New Seville, and maybe it was eaten by the king loach. The price of the king loach must be raised next year, especially since the new imperial masters want to eat it. If we don't raise the price, it will be unworthy of their status."
"I see. Then the price of Lumina's moa meat must also increase." Miss Maggie, the accountant, said. She is no longer the accountant of the factory, but the general manager of the life company, in charge of the food, drink, defecation and urination of the entire factory and its employees' families. This chubby black lady is probably the person who knows Lumina's prices best in the whole audience.
"Yes! There are now more fruit trees in the forest that can grow guns and ion cannons. The boys get a lot of rewards every time they go hunting." A Lumina elder laughed loudly.
"Yes, there are also straws that can grow ion cannons! Cheers to our magical Lumina homeland." Mr. Beikai, who was still dressed as an old worker, responded. The oldest master in the Red Maple Factory can no longer work on the front line, but he is still strong and energetic, and is still the respected old union chairman.
By the way, as an old union chairman, aren't you busy distributing moa jerky and sugar-coated snacks to everyone, but are you busy picking up ion cannons in the grassland? Before Yu Lian could say this, someone really started to make a fuss.
The old man slapped the table and said confidently: "I am the chairman of the union. I can give out anything. I could give out dried meat and cakes before, but now I can't give out rifles and ion cannons? Captain, don't you think this makes sense?"
The only ones who would confidently call Yu Lian, the newly promoted general, "Captain" were the old workers at the Red Maple Factory. Yu Lian sighed for a moment, then nodded slowly, "That's true."
"Look, the captain has said so. Do you have any other opinions?" The old union chairman slammed the table.
Everyone naturally said "I dare not" and then burst into laughter. The scene was immediately filled with joy.
It seemed as if everyone was not attracting a group of invaders, but rather a grand festival.
Yu Lian sighed: "...Did Zhixia really take away all the technical backbones?"
The old factory manager Luger chuckled and said, "I can only guarantee that I am indeed the last engineer left in Feng Factory."
"Where are the factory protection teams?" Yu Lian's eyes fell on the youngest and strongest Lumina man at the scene. He had a dark brown carapace, and at first glance he was very suitable for fighting in the wild.
Dejita, the "Security Manager" of the Red Maple Factory, felt the gaze of his superior and shuddered, but still answered seriously, "Of course I will follow Mayor Ye to New Shenzhou. I heard that there is a planet with the same climate as Lumina. Although the people of Lumina are not very active, they should be able to settle down there."
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
Any decent creature would feel the warmth of home on Gaia, the planet of Tianshu. We should be grateful for this great planet whose atmosphere is filled with the aura of life.
This Lumina youth named Degita is very young and strong, but he is the second security director after Xia Xiak took office as a security officer in Xinyumen.
After all, he was a rare psychic among the Lumina people, and also a rare professional officer with a formal training. Dejita graduated from the Tiannan Armored Forces Academy last year and was a well-trained marine officer with the rank of second lieutenant. He was also one of the first professional soldiers of the Lumina people.
The community's Marine second lieutenant works part-time as "security director", which can be considered a professional match.
"You know what I mean." Yu Lian stared at the young Lumina.
As for this unit, written as "Red Maple Factory Guards" and pronounced as "Lumina Army", at its peak, it had more than 100,000 people, all of whom were well-trained and well-equipped. In the brutal tug-of-war in Sai, at least 30,000 Red Maple disciples died in the galaxy on the far shore, and the rest of them of course withdrew to New Shenzhou with the main force of the Yu fleet and Zhixia.
However, Yu Lian knew that since the start of the war, Lumina was likely to be the first planet in the entire community to enter the wartime mobilization system. As many young people were sent to the front line of Sai, more young people entered the barracks to receive complete military training.
Yu Lian also knew that even on the eve of the fall of Sai De, there were still 40,000 to 50,000 young and strong men in the camp outside Fengcheng, half of them were humans and half were Lumina.
However, this time, Yu Lian did not see these people.
The young security director hesitated and was speechless.
But the old Ruger factory director replied: "The factory is also going to be closed. There is no way to pay the wages of the factory guards. They have all decided to find a way to make a living and run away to the outside of the city to become nomads."
"Yes, it's a nomadic name. We Ruminans have always been a carnivorous people." The security director said quickly.
Yu Lian sighed: "The war process has come to an end. Lumina's wartime mobilization can be lifted."
Mr. Beckey, the chairman of the union, laughed loudly: "Come on, Captain, you are not Lumina's special commissioner now! You can't control us."
Hey, hey, hey, three minutes ago your attitude was "The captain said so, what do you have to say?"
Yu Lian looked at the other person helplessly. This worker with the longest experience in the Red Maple Factory was indeed qualified to take advantage of his seniority.
The old worker thought of something and added, "Of course, you can also order us to stop through the party. As the first batch of veteran members of the Pioneer Party, we will definitely obey the organization's orders. But, we have to hold an executive committee first, right?"
"I don't have the time. We can't even gather more than half of the committee members now! Tsk, what a makeshift team?" Yu Lian said unhappily, and then he couldn't stop laughing:
"Well, I really can't control you. The most I can do is remind you that struggle requires methods. Lumina is an old district, but it must not become a cold monument. So, let's do this."
"The captain has ordered! Just do as we planned!" Old Becky shouted.
"Long live!" Everyone cheered again, the atmosphere was warm and sincere. Yu Lian felt that he was being played again, but he really didn't want to express any opinions about it.
Amid the cheers of the rough old men, Aunt Maggie's voice was still very clear: "Captain, you are leaving soon, right?"
Yu Lian was not going to hide it from everyone: "Yes, we went from Lumina into the Far Shore Nebula to shake off the pursuers. I've been there once before, so I'm very familiar with the route."
"Captain, will you come back in the future?" The black aunt stared at Yu Lian, her eyes as bright as the sun.
I will be back. Yu Lian was about to answer this, but was interrupted by the other party.
"Hey, take this. This is the moa jerky that I pickled myself. It's your favorite. I still remember it." Aunt Maggie dragged her fat but round body and took out a huge oil paper bag from under her table.
Yu Lian thought of the time when he was still a special commissioner. At that time, he led everyone to refine the first pot of Tyranitar alloy from the No. 1 solar furnace in the village, and the main dish of the celebration banquet was a roasted moa.
Of course he still remembered that the grill was built by Busca and the barbecue was done by Babaru himself, but the seasoning sauce was said to be Aunt Maggie's unique family secret recipe.
Now, the young people from the Red Maple Factory have gone to various star regions in the universe, some are fighting, some are seeking the truth, while the old workers like Aunt Maggie are still staying in the factory.
The factory is going to be demolished, but the old lady still stays here.
Yu Lian misses this taste very much.
"I will be back." He picked up the huge oil paper bag with one hand and said to everyone.
