Alien Arms Empire.

Moving his heavy body, Lu Ming pushed open the door in front of him, and the sound of creaking hinges echoed in the dimly lit corridor.

This is a brand new dormitory, a typical standard dormitory built by the Datang Group of this era.

Each floor has a long corridor with doors on both sides, and there is only a narrow window next to each door that cannot be accessed by people. This is a very typical apartment-style design.

In addition to the independent bathroom, each house has only one room and a living room without windows. The kitchen here is next to the door, and next to it is the long and narrow window that opens in the direction of the corridor.

Logically speaking, there is no way to have children in such a house, but the workers don't care.They didn't have a house in the past, now they do, so they don't care about the details at all.

Lu Ming, who used to live in the Dahua Empire, is a typical refugee. He is actually a Chu countryman, but he has lived with his mother in the Dahua Empire since he was a child.

His mother is a woman with half-closed doors. At a high level, she is similar to a peripheral girl, and at a low level, she is an escort who does not work.

Relying on selling his own body, his mother raised him, and then died of illness in the Dahua Empire, and finally had no money for medicine.

Lu Ming, who is less than 20 years old, has no source of income and no money to rent a house, so he can only start wandering like this.Later, he came to Tang country with some refugees, and heard that there was a job opportunity here.

Sure enough, the rumors did not lie to him, he found a job here, and also received training opportunities for free, becoming a worker.

After signing a contract similar to a bond of sale, he can get some salary every month, and he can live in the dormitory building of the factory for free.

Every room in the dormitory there has bunk beds, and there are 8 men living in a room. There is only a simple kitchen on each floor, and there are only two toilets. They have to go to the public sink for washing.

As long as he works here for 20 years, he can regain his freedom and get a housing reward to live in the apartment building where he lives now.

As a result, he only studied here for half a year, and he learned a lot.He brought his master to a promotion and a salary increase, and he also became the technical backbone of the factory.

That contract was reasonably shortened to 15 years, and he also received a lot more salary on weekdays.What surprised him even more was that the factory also often organized friendship with a textile factory in the same city, allowing workers to get to know some female workers.

We are all young people, at the age of enthusiasm. Often, men and women workers get to know each other, and then communicate with each other, and finally get together and get married to become a family.

It was only later that Lu Ming found out that this was a strategy of the factory to increase the population of the Tang Kingdom: it could not only save dormitories, but also encourage marriage and childbirth.

At that time he met a woman who is now his wife.The two of them participated in a group wedding, which was simple and hasty.They got the factory's blessing, and then moved out of their respective dormitories, and were assigned to such a shabby-looking hut, but it was extremely warm to them.

"You're back." The hostess, who had already left work, was cleaning up the house. They cherished this kind of house with a wooden floor and a big bed. …

To them, this is all they have, and this is what they call home.Both of them had lost their parents, both were refugees from far away, and both were here... to gain a new life.

"Yes." Lu Ming felt his shoulders were sore all the time, he took off his coat and hung it on the nail on the toilet door.It was their simple clothes hanger, and there was really no room for a real clothes hanger in the cramped and narrow door.

Recently, the factory floor where he works has been working overtime and working 12 hours a day. For him, this is a fulfilling way of life.

He is very happy to see the assembled tank chassis being sent out of the workshop every day, because this is the result of his work.

Before, he always thought that he was from Chu, and later he thought that he was from Dahua. Now he is very sure that he is from Tang, a real Tang!

Every Datang person is proud. They have their own lives, work hard every day, create wealth, and make their small lives colorful.

Their lives have improved at a speed visible to the naked eye. Before they came to Tang, they never dreamed that they could live the life they have today.

In the past, they thought that eating one steamed bun a day was their life, but now they can eat two with each meal, and even some vegetables, and occasionally a meal of meat.

At that time, they had to go hungry every day, eating leaves and all kinds of messy things, and the insects and mice they caught were unwilling to let go.

Now Lu Ming finds that he no longer thinks about such disgusting things as eating mice, because he can eat the dinner prepared by his wife every day, fragrant rice and white noodles, and emerald green vegetables with salt.

"I came back from get off work today and passed by the vegetable market. The carrots are very fresh and the price is cheap, so I bought some." The wife opened the folding table and took all the plates on the kitchen stove.

Lu Ming sat at the table as a matter of course, grabbed a washed carrot and stuffed it into his mouth.The taste is very good, with a little bit of sweetness in the fragrance. When chewing, it is kacha kacha, crisp and delicious.

"Try this!" The wife pointed to the vegetable leaves beside her with a happy smile on her face.She married a good man and lived an extremely happy life, which made her quite satisfied, and she had new hopes every day.

Lu Ming finally grabbed the fast food next to the rice bowl, picked up a vegetable leaf and put it on the rice, and put it into his mouth together. The garlic and salty taste opened up his taste buds in an instant.

"Delicious." He laughed, even forgetting about his sore shoulder.His wife is quite good-looking, she works in a textile factory, she is hardworking and virtuous, she is the kind of woman that he never dared to think of before.

But now, she was sitting there, looking at him with her chin propped up, with a faint smile on her face, so beautiful that he was a little distracted.

"I heard from Aunt Li next door that their child was injured at the front line." There is no such rule in the Tang Dynasty as to not talking when eating or sleeping. His Majesty the King himself often summoned his ministers during meals, and it was even more impossible for the poor. Get yourself into this kind of trouble.The hostess watched the man eat, and mentioned the gossip she heard today. …

"It was said that I was stabbed in the thigh. Don't we all use guns in wars now? Why did you get stabbed?" The woman didn't understand anything, so she just talked there casually, and it was all a pastime during the meal.

"How did Aunt Li know?" Lu Ming asked his wife vaguely while eating.

His wife immediately cheered up and explained: "The letter from the front line and the letter of thanks from the army representative are official. They praised Aunt Li and her son's bravery. I heard that there is also an injury allowance and a medal. Tax exemption. , I'm envious when I hear it."

The genuine medals of the Tang Kingdom were sent home directly, and the ones worn by soldiers on the front line were all imitations, in order to prevent them from being lost during combat.

However, there is one exception: the soldier does not have a family, the medal and the imitation will be issued to the soldier together, and the real one is usually deposited in the logistics management department at the division or army level.

The military's unique mailing system is also very developed. Because the railway is connected, letters sent home from the front line can be delivered to the designated place in no time.

"I can't envy the honor of fighting for my life." Lu Ming continued to eat and expressed his opinion at the same time.

His wife immediately nodded like pecking rice: "Yes! You're right, we don't envy this kind of thing! You are a skilled worker and don't have to go to the front line. It's great."

The country has conscripted twice. Although it is still based on the principle of voluntariness and provides high subsidies, it still makes people nervous.

In the newspapers, on the radio, and even on the loudspeakers in the factory, there was news of our army's victory at the front, but everyone was talking about it, saying that there is no reason for continuous conscription after every victory.

But in order to keep everyone's new life, or to fight for a future in the horse, there are still young and strong people from all over the country joining the army, forming one army after another.

Although many people knew that most of the recruited troops went to the south or the east, and they were all in training state and were not sent to the front, but everyone was still worried.

Worried about myself, worried about whether the good times are coming to an end, worried about whether the country will perish... In short, I have a little bit of patriotism.

"It's true to be safe and secure." Lu Ming doesn't think it's a mistake to be timid. Everyone has their own patriotic way: it's hard to say that a worker like him who can install parts for dozens of tank chassis every day, has nothing to do with the front line. Which of the soldiers has contributed more to his country.

"Tell me, can our Tang Dynasty win?" The wife didn't understand anything, so she pinned her hopes on the husband who worked in the military factory: "Our life like this will definitely continue, right?"

"For sure." Lu Ming was startled, and then nodded firmly: "If you lose with such a powerful weapon, wouldn't the soldiers on the front line be useless?"

He thought of those huge monsters made of welded steel in the factory. If someone can defeat Tang's tanks, it will be called hell.

That is not something that manpower can defeat. He firmly believes that Tang Jun with such a powerful force will be invincible on the battlefield!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel that the rice in his mouth was even sweeter.So he chewed hard, and the muscles on his cheeks twitched.

He felt that he should work harder and produce more tanks so that his good life could continue like this forever.
