Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

The wind and sand were flying all over the sky. Xiong Dabiao looked at the workers under a wall not far away. Many people were crowded together. The temperature has been a little low in the past few days. The current temperature is only about 5 degrees. The progress of the construction work has been seriously behind. .

Xiong Dabiao was still working with the guild people, but Olivia on the side couldn't bear it anymore, so she put down the tools in her hands.

"I don't want to do it anymore. If I continue to do it, my limbs will become numb."

Xiong Dabiao shouted immediately.

"hurry up."

Even the mutants can't stand this kind of weather. If they can't complete the project according to schedule, many parts of the walls they built will have to be reworked due to the erosion of sand and low temperatures.

Now, in addition to the people who originally lived in the barrier zone, there are nearly 5,000 workers working here, but many of them basically have to go back to the city after working for a month, because if they continue, their bodies will suffer extremely serious harm. .

Not only are there some harmful metal particles in the air, but there is also the harsh climate. Although the salary here is as high as 200 yuan a day, most people don’t want to do it a second time after coming here once.

The most unbearable thing for many workers is the cold. If some machines wear gloves, it will be difficult to complete fine processing, and if the skin is exposed to the air, it will become extremely uncomfortable after a period of time.

Xiong Dabiao's hands were already a little numb, and the mutated people in the guild also began to put down the tools in their hands. Olivia walked over directly, glanced at Xiong Dabiao's hands that were blue from the cold, and said.

"Don't do it Dabiao. If your hands get frostbite, it will be very troublesome."

Xiong Dabiao sighed and could only follow Olivia to the long wall where the workers gathered. They are now building the wall outside the agricultural base. As long as they continue to build and complete the wall construction at the wind direction, they can build the agricultural base. Create better conditions.

Now a lot of crops have been planted in the agricultural base, and several rounds of harvesting have been completed. However, the yield of the crops is extremely unstable in such an environment.

The people from Lightning Skull have been leading people to work here for more than a month. Many workers who come here can't hold on for a week at most, and only a few can last for a month.

Even if they can get free medical treatment after returning, most workers are unwilling to come because the environment in the city is now much better, and business with the Sky Space Country will start soon.

Some merchants have already recruited and trained some workers in advance, and many workers are being competed by merchants, because there will be a very large amount of goods output, which requires a large number of workers.

Xiong Dabiao found a place to sit against the wall, took a sip of hot water, looked at his numb hands, and sighed helplessly.

"If there are 10,000 workers, with such a small amount of work, it will be completed in a month at most."

Olivia said.

"How about we raise the salary a little bit?"

Xiong Dabiao thought for a while and nodded.

"If we directly mention more than 300, if we continue like this and rework, it will be delayed for at least three or four months."

While the two were talking, a helicopter flew over not far away. Many people were confused. Soon the helicopter landed, and some members of Section 3 came out carrying some boxes. Many people became confused.

A director from Section 3 leaned over and said with a smile.

"This is a product from Tianji Space Country that was just shipped from the city, antifreeze cream."

Xiong Dabiao doubtfully took an open jar of plaster from the director's hand, then opened it and applied it on his cold hands. A touch of warmth soon made Xiong Dabiao feel that his fingers had returned to temperature.

People in Section 3 began to distribute this antifreeze cream. They have already brought all the antifreeze creams from Tianji Space Country. There are 1,000 bottles in total, which is completely enough for the current 5,000 people. They only need to apply it on the hands, and the hands will not be cold. , so that it will not affect the construction work.

Many people exclaimed, and Xiong Dabiao laughed loudly and called out the loudspeaker equipment to shout.

"Everyone, hurry up, apply it quickly, and then start working."

Olivia also felt very magical, her hands were slightly warm, it felt very gentle, without any irritation, and the taste of this plaster was also very fresh, without any strange smell.

Soon many workers began to work, and Xiong Dabiao also worked hard. Although he didn't know how long the effect would last, it was certain that they could now start working properly.

Many people are very happy, and some people even apply this antifreeze ointment on their faces. Many people think that this magical ointment is quite good.

Xiong Dabiao asked with some confusion.

"Aren't we still in talks? How could we deliver the goods so quickly?"

The director of Section 3 smiled.

"Master Le Xiao asked to send it, and the people from the envoy also agreed."

Xiong Dabiao laughed. This was a timely rain for them. As long as this wall was repaired, the entire agricultural base would not be exposed to wind and sand, and an effective horizontal stripe could be formed.

Olivia looked at her hands with contentment, and her numb hands regained consciousness. Although there were some similar things in Bright City, most of them were attached to the hands. There was nothing about this plaster after it dried. If it feels greasy, if it fails later, you just need to wash it off with water.

At present, the electricity and water here have been fully connected due to the efforts of all engineers of the Angus family. Many people in the barrier area are still helping to transport materials or help clean up some waste near the base.

Or they help in the farmland, and the people in Section 12 will teach them something, and they learn it very seriously.

Everything has started to develop in a good direction, and for many people, it only needs to establish this base now to mean success.

Xiong Dabiao looked at the Brilliant City behind him. In the past, he might not agree to help the business department with such things, but it is different now. Xiong Dabiao is very happy to work here. Although he does not earn much, he has witnessed these things for them. For those who want to develop Bright City, this is enough.

2:31 pm.

The first formal meeting ended. Le Xiao happily shook hands with everyone in the mission. The first meeting was really pleasant. Both parties will hold a joint press conference tonight to display all the products that have established this meeting. , and then explain the monetary system.

The press conference will be held in the square of the General Affairs Department, and tonight the General Affairs Department has also invited many people and will hold a grand banquet in the General Affairs Department Square.

No one expected that this meeting would go so smoothly. Many people thought that the two sides might be at war with each other because the initial transaction would determine many things in the future.

Everyone began to leave the Congress Hall, planning to go to the General Affairs Section together. The members of the diplomatic delegation would stay directly in the General Affairs Section, accept interviews from some reporters, and take a look at the work of the General Affairs Section.

Le Xiao planned to go back to rest directly. Nothing happened anyway. Wu Lei was completely relieved now.

"General Nigel will see you tonight, so I'll take the first step."

Le Xiao shook hands with Nigel, said goodbye to the rest of the delegation, and quickly left the Congress Hall.

Arriving at the Capitol Square, Le Xiao stretched her limbs comfortably, and Wu Lei grabbed her and said.

"We have to go to District 29 and check it out."

As soon as Wu Lei finished speaking, Le Xiao became unhappy and shook her head.

"Don't you know how hard I have worked these days?"

Wu Lei smiled.

"Why are you working so hard? You just rested for a long time, didn't you?"

Le Xiao smiled awkwardly, and then Wu Lei insisted that Le Xiao go to District 29 to take a look.

After all, if you put off what you are doing, you will be very busy in the future.

In desperation, Le Xiao could only agree, and the two went directly to the General Affairs Department to get a lift and headed towards Area 29.

After a while, the take-off and landing landed in District 29. Several department officials were already waiting, but some reporters had already received the news. Le Xiao was surrounded as soon as he took to the street. Faced with the reporters' interviews, Le Xiao Xiao could only start to answer the questions simply.

"Your Excellency Le Xiao, what kind of currency system will Brilliant City adopt?"

Le Xiao said it without much thought. The reporters present were extremely shocked. Although Wu Lei wanted to stop it, there was nothing he could do. Then he thought about the official announcement at tonight's press conference and didn't think much about it.

Many reporters can't believe that such a currency system is adopted that can easily lead to big problems. Although it sounds simple, most reporters have studied the currency system.

Le Xiao left after answering a few more questions, and went directly to Yu Fangfang's store. This street has been completely renewed, because many women are now playing games at home, and this game has given them access to A good profit.

Some women no longer even planned to continue working in the special service industry. As soon as Le Xiao arrived at the door of Yu Fangfang's shop, Wu Lei saw the news headlines. Sure enough, Le Xiao's words once again set off a huge craze in the city.

Moreover, Wu Lei discovered that the General Affairs Department had moved forward the time of the press conference, because Le Xiao had already spoken about the currency system, and some TV stations had begun to analyze the currency system.

Wu Lei frowned slightly. After Le Xiao walked in, a group of people from Section 5 blocked the door of the store and kept the reporters outside.

"Where's Xiao Leng? Where's the old man?"

Le Xiao asked as soon as she entered, and Yu Fangfang smiled awkwardly.

"Xiao Leng is sleeping upstairs, and Ran Zhi is busy outside. Is there something wrong with Mr. Le Xiao?"

Le Xiao said with a smile.

"Please get me some food and some beer. I'd like a drink."

Wu Lei frowned slightly.

"It's just before 3 o'clock and you're going to start drinking?"

Le Xiao said.

"Anyway, I have nothing to do. I will rest here until the cold gets better. Can I close the store?"

Le Xiao asked. Yu Fangfang clicked and closed the store door. Le Xiao turned on the light and shadow screen and started to look for horror movies.

Wu Lei watched the news with a headache. Sure enough, in just half an hour, the currency system announced by Le Xiao had already started a heated discussion in the city, because this system actually has many irrationalities. Although it seems fair, it has too many loopholes. too much.

Many people have pointed out the drawbacks of this system, because in commercial transactions, it is easy for some price fluctuations to occur, and whether the goods provided by both parties can be successfully sold is also a big problem.

And the most important thing is that if both parties continue this pattern, it will be difficult for some businessmen to enter the market quickly.

If currency is not issued, it will take a lot of time to do business in the future.

However, some people have also put forward a good point: as long as the two parties start trading normally for a period of time, have each other's currency, and basically understand the markets on both sides, they can start to issue corresponding amounts of currency according to the current commodity situation.

"You really don't know how to think about it?"

Wu Lei asked, Le Xiao happily ate fried chicken and took a sip of refreshing beer.

"It's going to be announced sooner or later anyway."

Wu Lei nodded and could only move closer. Le Xiao had already started watching a movie. It was a new horror movie, but it didn't seem to have a high rating. Sure enough, after shouting for a while, Le Xiao said.

"It's a bad movie, what on earth did the director think?"

At this time, a phone call came, and it was Locke Jiahui.

"What's wrong, Controller?"

Locke smiled.

"Girl, you really know how to judge the situation."

Le Xiao didn't quite understand, Locke said.

"It's like this. We are going to start a press conference here. You should come over soon."

Le Xiao hummed and hung up the phone, while Wu Lei was watching the news. Le Xiao started looking for horror movies again, then Wu Lei said.

"What are you going to do? Section 13."

Le Xiao scratched her head and said.

"What can we do? Where can we find people? There should be a shortage of manpower in every department."

Wu Lei said.

"I will hand over the job at the end of this month, and I will apply to be transferred to Section 13."

As soon as Wu Lei finished speaking, Le Xiao stood up in surprise and said.

"real?"

Wu Lei nodded.

"I'm a little tired of the General Affairs Department. Think about it carefully, or recruit some capable department members."

Lexiao scratched her head and said.

"Where can I recruit?"

Wu Lei smiled.

"How about going to talk to Ran Zai?"

Le Xiao was a little confused. He actually knew that Ran Zai had established a fairly complete secret force over the years. Those people were quite capable, but they had not committed any crimes, so they acted in a scientific way. Didn't do anything to them.

Le Xiao was right to think so. That guy seemed to know quite a few people.

"If he comes over later, we'll ask him."

Wu Lei said yes, and Le Xiao was very happy, because she didn't expect that Wu Lei would want to come to Section 13, and then Le Xiao asked.

"Wouldn't it be demoted if you came to Section 13? The most you can do is become a director."

Wu Lei shook his head.

"It doesn't matter, I also want to try something new."

Le Xiao held up the wine bottle and smiled.

"Welcome to Section 13 in advance. If one day I quit, you will be my secretary."

Wu Lei burst out laughing.

"I'm afraid you'll have to work yourself to death."
