I handed over to another world

A few months later, the Red Dragon Association's transformation plan in Southeast Asia achieved remarkable results.

Chen Lin sat in front of the holographic screen in his office, carefully reading the latest data information sorted out by Secretary Zhao. This document recorded in detail the progress in Southeast Asia, from ecological restoration to economic development, from cultural communication to social stability. Every piece of data showed that the influence of the Red Dragon Association was taking root in this land.

The influence of the White Eagle Association and the Europa Association on Southeast Asia has been reduced to almost nothing, and the influence of the Red Dragon Association here is growing like mushrooms after a spring rain.

Just like a replica of the scene hundreds or thousands of years ago, Southeast Asia has once again returned to the influence range of the Red Dragon Association.

The documents in Chen Lin's hand show that the Red Dragon Association's ecological restoration projects have covered many key areas in Southeast Asia.

The land that was originally abandoned due to over-development and pollution has now regained its vitality. Those places that were originally severely polluted and even used as garbage dumps have been quickly cleaned up with the nanorobot's digestion technology.

In the holographic images, green forests and wetlands have replaced the former deserts and garbage dumps, with an overall replacement rate of over 80%.

Chen Lin called up a video shot on the spot. In the video, local people were planting various types of vegetation specially provided for them under the guidance of the Red Dragon Association's technicians. The functions of these vegetation vary, but most of them can absorb heavy metals and various pollutants in the soil.

The entire process will take dozens to hundreds of years to completely repair, and the assessment will be made based on the soil's contamination and current usage.

Chen Lin was also somewhat shocked by the soil usage situation in the entire Southeast Asia region - these people were wasting a lot of land resources at an incredible scale. This was completely unacceptable to Chen Lin, who had lived in the Red Dragon Association for more than 30 years and had been instilled with the concept of the preciousness of land resources since childhood.

“Vice President, this is one of our ecological restoration projects in southern Southeast Asia.”

Secretary Zhao explained, "Through our technology, the annual rainfall in this area has increased by 30%, and the soil fertility has recovered by more than 70%. Local farmers have begun to cultivate again, and we expect to achieve self-sufficiency next year."

Chen Lin nodded, a trace of relief flashed in his eyes: "Very good, ecological restoration is not only the restoration of the environment, but also the improvement of people's lives."

"The sooner this kind of ecology is restored, the better it will be for them and even for us. Tell the ecological department to continue to expand the restoration scope, especially those areas that have been affected by pollution and desertification for a long time, and increase the capital investment by 20%. The association has a special fund pool for this content, and you can apply for it in my name when the time comes."

"Understood, Vice President."

“There is also a detailed report on the clean energy project below, you can also take a look at it.”

"it is good."

Next, Chen Lin carefully read the report on clean energy projects in the document.

The Red Dragon Association's construction in Southeast Asia is actually multi-faceted. In those areas where they actually control and intervene, the Red Dragon Association has established a large number of solar and wind power stations. Although these devices are relatively primitive compared to the current energy structure of the Red Dragon Association, they are extremely advanced technologies for the local area.

You know, the Red Dragon Association will combine these technologies with their now improved energy storage devices, and a wind power generation equipment will be able to completely solve the local energy shortage problem.

The documents show that the energy output of these power stations has covered 80% of the electricity demand in Southeast Asia, and the remaining 20% ​​will be covered in the next few months. The overall work efficiency is ridiculously high - the core reason is that the total population and urban circles in these areas are too small compared to the Red Dragon Association, which is not enough for the Red Dragon Association to let go completely.

Another reason is that these solar and wind power generation devices are considered retired equipment within the association. They can be directly transferred to these areas for reuse, which is a win-win situation for both parties.

“Vice President, this is one of our solar power plants in central Southeast Asia.”

Secretary Zhao called up a holographic image, in which a huge solar panel array shone brightly in the sun. "This power station not only provides stable electricity to the local area, but also creates thousands of jobs. The local people's support rate for us is as high as 96%."

Chen Lin smiled and said, "Energy is the foundation of development. Only when the energy problem is solved can Southeast Asia truly achieve sustainable development."

"We need to have the energy sector continue to efficiently promote clean energy projects, especially in remote areas, to ensure that every corner can benefit from the Red Dragon Association's technological dividends."

The construction of smart cities is another highlight of the Red Dragon Association in Southeast Asia.

At least from the documents, the Red Dragon Association has launched smart city construction programs in several major cities in Southeast Asia. By introducing artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things and big data technologies, the transportation, medical care, education and public services in these cities have been greatly improved.

Of course, the controllers of various types of data are all on the association's side, so the Red Dragon Association is not worried about the information being stolen.

Chen Lin called up a holographic image of a smart city. In the image, the driverless public transportation system was in good order, the smart medical center provided efficient medical services to the public, and the virtual reality education platform allowed every child to enjoy high-quality educational resources. Of course, this image appeared in the capital area of ​​the small association close to the Red Dragon Association. Other cities, at least in terms of infrastructure, did not have such conditions.

“Vice President, this is one of our smart city pilot projects in northern Southeast Asia.”

Secretary Zhao explained, “Through our technology, the city’s crime rate has dropped by 60 percent, and the people’s life satisfaction has increased by more than 80 percent.”

Chen Lin nodded with satisfaction: "Continue to promote the construction of smart cities, especially those areas with weak infrastructure, to ensure that every citizen can enjoy a modern life."

"The association is currently promoting relevant infrastructure construction."

"well done."

Chen Lin nodded. The establishment of the economic cooperation zone has brought unprecedented prosperity to Southeast Asia. The Red Dragon Association originally established a number of economic cooperation zones in Southeast Asia, which directly attracted an influx of enterprises and capital from all over the world to these regions.

These cooperation zones have not only created a large number of local jobs, but also become engines of economic development in Southeast Asia.

Chen Lin called up a video clip of the economic cooperation zone, which showed rows of modern factories and office buildings, and busy ports and logistics centers that demonstrated the vitality of the area.

"This is an economic cooperation zone in western Southeast Asia,"

Secretary Zhao explained, “Through our investment and technical support, the annual economic growth rate of this cooperation zone has reached 15%, making it one of the most dynamic economic centers in Southeast Asia. Because it is close to our Red Dragon Association area, the economic development momentum of these areas is very strong.”

Chen Lin nodded: "I can go to this place to check the situation. Do you have any plans recently?"

“You can make time for it.”

"Well, let's go."

"I'll arrange it for you right away."

In order to gain a more intuitive understanding of the transformation progress in Southeast Asia, Chen Lin decided to go to Southeast Asia in person for inspection.

A few days later, he boarded the Red Dragon Association's exclusive aircraft and arrived at a city in northern Southeast Asia - its name was Dawa City. It had a population of about 20 million and was one of the association's top super cities in the north.

When local residents learned of Chen Lin's arrival, they flocked to the streets, waving the Red Dragon Association's flags and shouting slogans of gratitude. Chen Lin stepped off the aircraft and waved to the residents with a smile.

"Vice President, welcome to Southeast Asia!"

The local association's senior leader came to greet him personally. When he saw that it was Chen Lin, he immediately said excitedly, "Thank you for everything the Red Dragon Association has brought us. Our lives have changed dramatically!"

Chen Lin nodded, and then, accompanied by the person in charge, he visited the ecological restoration project, clean energy power station, smart city facilities and economic cooperation zone.

He saw with his own eyes how the technology of the Red Dragon Association changed this land, and he also saw the smiles on the faces of the people and the hope in their eyes.

These don't seem to be pretended.

Under the intelligent dispatch of the traffic control system, Chen Lin's suspended fleet quietly turned towards the suburbs along the air route.

Looking through the porthole, the outline of the power plant wrapped in nano-scale optical camouflage gradually emerged, and the hexagonal honeycomb structure of the exterior wall glowed like mother-of-pearl in the sunset.

“This is the third generation of modular concentrating towers.”

The accompanying technical director called up the holographic parameters and said, "We have recovered the tidal power generators that the association retired in the South China Sea and transformed them into geothermal-photovoltaic dual-mode devices through technology."

As he explained, tens of thousands of diamond-shaped photovoltaic panels on the building's surface began to deflect synchronously, rising and falling like the scales of a giant beast.

Chen Lin noticed the circular ecological zone outside the factory, where the modified version of Sargassum was absorbing and spitting out heavy metal ions in the artificial river channel. The flashing CRISPR markers on its gene chain showed the patent code of Red Dragon Biological Laboratory.

"The pollution index dropped another 15ppm compared to last month."

Secretary Zhao called up the monitoring data at the right time and said, "The blood lead levels of local children have returned to the safe threshold."

“Are we managing these things too?”

“Of course, ecological restoration is comprehensive.”

As they stepped into the central control room, the dome suddenly turned transparent.

Chen Lin noticed that thousands of magnetically levitation drones were weaving into a dynamic power grid at an altitude of hundreds of meters, and the phosphorescent trails at the tail of each aircraft formed a real-time energy flow map.

"These are retired node machines from the Yangtze River Delta power grid."

An engineer from the Red Dragon Association pointed to several obviously older models and said, "We have loaded language packages for the ten ASEAN countries and trained more than 300 local maintainers."

Just as Chen Lin was about to inquire about the temperature parameters of the energy storage core, an encrypted communication suddenly popped up on the holographic interface.

In the picture, several elderly people wearing traditional sarongs are excitedly saying something in Khmer. Behind them are miniature wind turbines erected among the banyan trees.

"The real-time translation system showed that these villagers were requesting to expand the wireless power supply range in the ecological agricultural area."

The AI ​​assistant popped up a semantic analysis box, "They want to try to grow agarwood, which requires constant temperature and humidity."

The engineer behind him slid his fingers quickly on the holographic keyboard and called up the soil composition report of the area: "Approve their request, but let the Ministry of Ecology do a fungal community simulation first. In addition..."

He paused for a moment and typed a string of code in the comment column, "Share the karst landform management plan of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau with their technicians."

As dusk fell completely, the area surrounding the power plant suddenly lit up with a soft bioluminescent light.

The technical director smiled proudly: "This is a lighting system that we modified using the genes of deep-sea luminous jellyfish. The light efficiency of each plant is equivalent to that of a 200-watt LED lamp, but it can promote photosynthesis of surrounding crops."

Chen Lin noticed that several barefoot children were running after glowing dandelions that were drifting in the wind. Their laughter penetrated the explosion-proof glass curtain wall and reached this side. The lights outside looked very comfortable, and he suddenly thought of going out for a walk on the beach.

"Let's go for a walk. The beach here looks nice."

"But...it's already evening, Vice President."

Secretary Zhao looked a little embarrassed at this time. Chen Lin was about to say that it was okay if it was not possible, but the engineer next to him spoke up at this time: "It's okay, Secretary Zhao, we have already cleaned up the beach here. The area covered by the entire power station includes the beach area here. It's very safe over there."

"In that case, I have to go."

Chen Lin smiled and nodded. His order was given at this time, and a group of people quickly arranged for Chen Lin to go to the beach.

After nearly ten minutes of safety work, Chen Lin walked barefoot on the soft sand and suddenly felt like expressing his feelings out loud.

"Has any of you been abroad before?"

He paused for several seconds, then turned to ask the group of people behind him.

Secretary Zhao and the guards looked at each other and then started laughing.

"I've been out here many times before..."

Secretary Zhao spoke up first, "My family has taken me out to play a few times, usually to the islands in South Asia, and we've also been to Northern Europe twice."

Chen Lin smiled and said, "Secretary Zhao is from Shangdu, right? There is really no comparison between regions. This is the first time I have truly gone abroad in my life, and it is here, right now."

A group of guards looked at each other, not knowing what to say. An engineer in the crowd took over the conversation: "This is my first time going abroad. I came here to work at the power station under the arrangement of the association..."

"Not bad."

Chen Lin smiled and said, "Life is getting better day by day, and ordinary people in the Red Dragon Association have more and more opportunities. Many goals that could only be achieved in dreams before can now be achieved..."

"It's really like a dream." (End of this chapter)
