Chapter 128 Rewrite (Part 1)

Le Xiao watched more and more people sit in. Soon the meeting would officially begin. She tried her best to think about the specific content that needed to be stated in the meeting. This was the first time she had experienced this.

Le Xiao didn't know what they were thinking about such an important bill asking him to serve as the speaker of the bill. He still had little understanding of many things.

"You are really insidious."

Mo Xiaolan looked at King Xue aside, and he immediately retorted.

"Chief Mo Xiaolan, do you have a better way?"

Mo Xiaolan waved his hands helplessly. After all, this was all he could do now. Since such a bill has been submitted, someone must come forward. After all, the establishment of the agricultural base in the barrier area has been going on for a day or two, and it has been going on for half a month. In the urban process of this century, this issue has always been unavoidable.

The production capacity of agricultural bases in the east is limited, and the supply in cities is always unbalanced. Even though strict restrictions have been imposed, the urban population has still skyrocketed to more than 30 million today, and cities are now facing the impact of the aging era. , coupled with the truth just announced.

Therefore, the establishment of agricultural bases in barrier areas is imperative. Once successful, it can bring a very rich supply of resources to the city, and many of the city's problems can indeed be fundamentally solved.

However, to build such a plan is like gambling on life for today's cities. Once any mistakes are made, the city will fall into huge difficulties or even collapse completely.

No one with a right mind would do such a life-or-death approach. Besides, the series of problems that resulted from the failure to establish the agricultural base more than fifty years ago were well known to many people present, and some had experienced them personally. .

Locke Jiahui saw that everyone had basically entered, so he stood up directly.

"Everyone, please be quiet. The afternoon meeting has officially begun. Next, please take a look at the proposal to establish an agricultural base in the barrier area!"

The sound started to appear again. Locke looked at Le Xiao. She got up and ran to the podium in the middle, looking a little nervous.

After a few short minutes, Locke said.

"You can start presenting the motion, Secretary Le Xiao!"

Le Xiao swallowed. There was a serious atmosphere in the venue. After licking her lips, she hurriedly brought up the light and shadow screen.

"this........"

Le Xiao paused, and then took several deep breaths. After her uneasy mood gradually calmed down, Le Xiao began to state the proposal.

"Regarding the establishment of agricultural bases in barrier areas, I hope you will take a serious look at this bill and then consider it. This bill is very important for the current city, because it is related to the city's future stability and prosperity."

As Le Xiao spoke, he began to explain some rough parts. The congressmen were all watching, as were representatives of family businessmen and some celebrities.

Everyone was silent, but soon there was a voice, and a member of Parliament stood up on his own initiative.

"Secretary Le Xiao, when Section 13 submitted this bill, did you consider the overall situation of the city?"

Le Xiao smiled awkwardly.

"Of course there is, so doesn't the bill include the establishment of small-scale agricultural bases?"

The congressman laughed.

"As far as I know, if you really do it, there will be no small-scale experiments, and there is no small-scale agriculture. How small is a small-scale? Is it a pilot base of several hundred square meters? Has the risk been confirmed? Can the soil in the barrier area really grow crops? And what will be the resource consumption rate if the radiation range of the artificial sun is expanded?"

Lexiao was overwhelmed by a series of questions. She was still looking at the documents. The congressman did not wait for Lexiao.

"Please answer my question, Secretary Le Xiao."

Le Xiao hummed and could only bite the bullet and say.

"Of course it can't be only a few hundred square meters. An experimental base of several thousand square meters should be planned. There are definitely risks, but once the crops are planted, it will be very good for the people of the entire city. This problem If so, Section 12 has already concluded that as long as the soil can recover, there will be no problem in growing crops. Didn’t you read the experimental report of the agricultural base established 50 years ago? As for artificial sun, it is definitely not possible now? Expand the radiation range.”

After Lexiao finished answering, many people began to whisper.

The congressman who had just asked the question sat down. Just as Le Xiao was about to continue speaking, a congressman stood up. He looked older. His name was Qian Jun.

"Your Excellency Le Xiao, I hope this stupid explanation of the motion can be stopped immediately."

For a moment, everyone in the venue looked at Qian Jun, and Le Xiao became even more angry. Just as she was about to retort, Michelle stood up and said.

"Congressman Qian Jun, please pay attention to your speech."

Qian Jun bowed and said.

"I'm sorry, please forgive me for what I just said. I think I may be the person with the most say on this bill because I was a pioneer when the agricultural base in the barrier zone was established fifty years ago."

Qian Jun said as he took out a pioneer's ID card from his pocket, and then activated the shooting function on the light and shadow screen. Soon the front and back of the ID card appeared on the large light and shadow screen in the Congress Hall.

Le Xiao was a little overwhelmed. The plan 50 years ago did fail. Le Xiao also read the information. The reason for the failure was that the Hillman family interfered, and the gang members in the Barrier District attacked the agricultural base.

So this proposal that was about to succeed finally failed. More than 500,000 people participated in the entire plan. After the failure, the entire proposal had a very big impact on the city, and almost pushed many districts into the abyss of no return.

"Member Qian Jun, please explain the situation."

Michelle said, Qian Jun nodded, and apologized again for his previous speech.

"The reason why I am so angry is that I experienced the failure as a participant. There are many problems that I am afraid that those who are not witnesses cannot know, because the disastrous failure led to very serious problems. I hope you can learn some information from my story."

Qian Jun was born in the bottom 104 district when he was very young. From the bottom to the big Qian Jun basically did not receive any education, and he helped his parents on the construction site.

Qian Jun had nothing special except for his strength. He lived in such a hard life until he was 30 years old. His parents basically passed away early, and Qian Jun also yearned for the life of the upper middle class.

Fortunately, Chris had a free learning training class for adults at that time, and Qian Jun went with his friends, intending to learn some knowledge and get out of the days of relying on physical strength to maintain his life.

But at this time, the pioneer proposal was passed. The city wanted to build an agricultural base in the dark barrier area, and a large number of pioneer workers were needed. After hearing the news, Qian Jun and his friends went to sign up directly.

Fortunately, Qian Jun and his three friends were selected. Soon they received 12 training courses and received wages during the training. For these young people, the future is full of hope.

The pioneer plan started soon. Qian Jun knew what cold was for the first time. He and his three friends couldn't sleep at night because they were so cold that they could only squeeze together for warmth, but it was still very cold.

The cold was pervasive. After the first night in the fortress area, many people were poured with a basin of cold water. They could only get up and work early the next morning.

Qian Jun still clearly remembered that on the morning of the next day, his hands and feet seemed to be tied with lead blocks. They were better off. Some people were directly frozen sick last night. Although the Action Department had made preparations as much as possible, the cold air at night delayed the plan.

However, the voices from the city, including the businessmen who invested in this plan, even if they were attacked by the cold, hundreds of thousands of workers had to start work.

Compared with the cold at night, working during the day is everyone's nightmare. In such a fierce wind and sand, they still need to work, which is unbearable for many people, and more and more people fall ill.

Although some land has been reclaimed, the reclaimed land will be filled with sand if you don't pay attention to it, and many jobs are extremely difficult.

However, such a pioneering project still cannot be stopped. Many people have even withdrawn from the plan. As a result, they have suffered high liquidated damages for violating the contract. Those who can't pay it back can only go to the eastern agricultural base to work to repay their debts.

Although Qian Jun was in good health, he couldn't even lift his hands after just one month. The extremely bad working environment also required him to be on guard against attacks from people in the barrier area from time to time.

In just one month, dozens of attacks and thefts occurred. Some workers died in the attacks, and some even went missing. Qian Jun didn't see these problems in the subsequent experimental reports.

"What I said is the fact. If you don't believe it, you can ask those who have participated in the pioneer plan."

Qian Jun's words made the atmosphere in the venue more solemn, and he continued.

The bad working environment has not been effectively improved. Although the problem of cold at night has been solved, it is everyone's nightmare during the day.

Qian Jun couldn't hold on any longer and fell down. He was approved to go back and rest for a week. The other three friends also had many problems in their bodies, especially many people's lungs, which had been eroded by harmful substances floating in the air.

Such hazards did not appear in the subsequent experimental reports. Qian Jun said that although lung medical care was very developed at that time, the workers went back to the hospital for free lung cleaning surgery.

But after the originally healthy lungs were eroded, it was a devastating blow to the future of the whole person. Qian Jun went through it with full confidence after just one week, because an agricultural experimental field had been initially built.

Some people who had physical problems and could not bear the burden were assigned to work in the experimental field, and working in the experimental field was much easier.

However, the barrier area is often accompanied by accidents. If you are not careful, everything you do will fall short.

The Action Department is describing the beautiful future every day, and many people are still working hard, because for many pioneers, once the plan is successful, they will be the owners of these cultivated lands, and they can live on the cultivated land for the rest of their lives, and they will no longer have to work so hard.

In just half a year, more than a dozen experimental fields were established. Qian Jun and his friends were discussing the situation in the experimental fields, because it seemed that the people in Section 12 were not in a good mood.

Some people working in the experimental fields also bluntly said that although the crops were indeed grown, they did not seem to be very good, and they also heard people from the 12th Department saying that it was not working.

An accident happened one day. A very large storm hit the barrier area. The storm swept through the agricultural base. Then the isolation wall of an experimental field had problems due to long-term erosion by wind, sand and cold.

There was a hole in the isolation wall, but no one noticed it. When they got up early the next morning, when the people in the experimental field called people from Section 12 over, they discovered that almost all the crops were dead, and the original good planting soil It has become hard.

After testing, the soils were dying because the cold had taken away everything from the soils, and eventually the field was scrapped and had to be started all over again.

"So the plan was a failure from the beginning."

Qian Jun said, and everyone began to discuss. There is no truth to the established facts before them.

Qian Jun then said that after being attacked by a large number of high-level mutants that night, the entire agricultural base was destroyed.

Many workers had a vague feeling from the beginning that this would be the result. This plan would be impossible to succeed because the experimental field was too fragile. After being exposed to the night air in the barrier zone for just a few hours, all the workers died.

The biting cold took away everything, and this hopeful plan that consumed a lot of people's efforts was shelved.

For the next ten years, Qian Jun was always suffering from pain. He had to endure some pain from his lungs, waist, hands and feet every day.

However, the compensation given to them was not enough for their medical treatment. Qian Jun originally felt that his life was completely over. If he had not met Chris one day, his life would have ended early.

"Three of my friends have passed away, one after another in the ten years since they came back. There are many more people who are not as lucky as me. The failure of this bill will affect not only businessmen, but also others." Many businessmen were overwhelmed and committed suicide because they invested all their money in this bill and lost all their money, and the compensation provided by Congress was not long-term.”

Le Xiao's anger was gone at this moment. She could imagine what kind of life Qian Jun had lived in the past. After all, she also came from the bottom.

"I would like to ask you, if this bill fails, then who should pay for it? This time it will probably be the whole city."
