Chapter 301 Deep in the Pacific Ocean
Today is an extraordinary day for Black Flag City.
The issuance of the new decree prompted the Council of Directors to hold an emergency meeting.
At 9:30 a.m., a meeting was being held in the eighth-floor conference room of the Governor's Mansion.
Five directors and one council president sat around a round table to discuss the new decree.
"The sales page of the heavy factory has added several pages of military units, including rifles of various calibers, some light vehicles, and even two flying units. One is the "Flying Bird" armed fighter, and the other is the civilian version of the Vulture armed transport aircraft. There are more than ten kinds of weapons attached, which can be selected at will. It seems that the adults are serious."
Meng Wuwei was extremely curious about the new decree. He couldn't understand why the Governor suddenly issued this decree.
Sun Gaowu, who was standing beside Meng Wuwei, said, "Is this appropriate? Although it can solve the employment problem, will the mercenary system really not bring some trouble?"
"Your worries are unnecessary..."
With a calm expression on his face, Zhao Tai said calmly, "Any profession needs supervision. Mercenaries are individuals. They are just hired armed personnel to protect personal and official property. You should all know that the governor intends to liberalize the market and relax restrictions. Soon, various mining companies will appear. Regardless of their size, they will need armed personnel to protect them outside."
Indeed, once the mercenary system is determined, the employment problem will be solved, and some restless guys will have the jobs they want, which is also beneficial to the security of Black Flag City.
Zhang Guowei nodded and said, "Since the decree has been issued, let's make the "Intelligent Brain" public. For the citizens of Black Flag City, the mercenary system is also a military position. I believe many people will be interested."
At this point in the meeting, the chairman's opinion was basically unified. Although the parliament was just a formality, this formality was still necessary. The governor only issued a decree, but they still needed to discuss the details.
Qian Yuting, who was sitting in the main seat, said, "Since everyone has no objection, the mercenary system, the new loan system, and the new decree will be delegated to the Political Council, and the Propaganda Department will issue an announcement to inform all citizens of Black Flag City."
Mercenaries?
As the new decree was issued, citizens of Black Flag City, whether at home or at work, opened their bracelets and checked the new decree.
The mercenary system and the new loan system caused an uproar among the citizens of Black Flag City.
In particular, the shareholder dividend system in the new loan clause attracted a lot of attention.
As long as any enterprise implements the shareholder dividend system, the government owns 30% of the shares, the interest rate is reduced by 70%, the agricultural tax is exempted by 100%, the corresponding commercial tax is reduced by 10%, and the loan is unlimited.
With the government's investment, the benefits are unimaginable. It can be said that the official investment is a through train.
With the government as a partner, it will be more convenient to act, and the benefits are unimaginable.
Today, the issuance of the new decree made Black Flag City noisy. Some citizens saw the business opportunities and ran around to tell each other and fight for their future.
When a day passed, at 15:00 the next afternoon, the "Globemaster" airship flying in the extreme temperature layer also arrived at its destination.
In the far east, on the endless ice field, between the dim sky and earth, the sky clouds were disturbed, and a huge monster slowly emerged from the clouds and landed on the ice.
"Commander, we have arrived at the destination, 9,324 kilometers away from the mainland, and there are no islands within a radius of 3,000 miles. Do you want to land?"
The "Globemaster" airship in the sky has stopped landing and hovered in the sky.
Looking at the endless snowfield outside, Li Meng was shocked beyond words.
Even the kinetic energy of the sea could not escape the fate of being frozen. Here, deep in the Pacific Ocean, there is nothing else to see except the snowfield. It is a vast expanse of white, and there is no end at a glance.
"Land..."
There should be no enemies in this vast expanse of white snowfield.
With Li Meng's order, the "Globemaster" airship in the sky continued to land.
It was quiet in this world, without even the sound of the whistling wind, and no noise could be heard except the roar of the motor.
On the ice field, the huge "Globemaster" airship slowly landed.
As it landed, the hatches on both sides of the "Globemaster" slowly opened, and two huge city builders woke up, stood up, stepped out, and stepped onto the ice.
The city builder left the airship and walked to the side of the "Globemaster" airship, and stopped on the ice layer about 100 meters away from the "Globemaster" airship.
The two city builders stood 50 meters apart, with the mechanical arms in their hands extended downward, and the five-fingered hands turned into a barrel shape, reaching the ground.
"Boom..."
With a whistle, the muzzle of the city builder's arm flashed with blue light, and a blue light column with a diameter of one meter gushed out and hit the ice surface.
The sound of "sizzling" sounded immediately, and billowing steam rose up, covering the city builder.
The barrel in the city builder's hand is a plasma cutter, which can release high-temperature plasma to dissolve the target.
On the dim ice field, the dazzling blue light was flashing, which was very eye-catching.
In the bridge, Li Meng also looked at the city builder under construction not far away with curiosity.
It is not necessary to groove the ice layer, just to make a hole. The city builders made holes one after another in the ice layer.
While the city builders were making holes, the self-disciplined engineering guards also became busy. They moved a soft pipe from the cabin and put it into the ice hole dug by the city builders one by one.
In the following time, the city builders and engineering guards have been working day and night.
The "Globemaster" airship is very close to them, so they do not need to replace the fuel cell, and directly use the wireless power transmission equipment of the "Globemaster" airship to charge.
It took a whole day to complete the first project. On the ice field, the city builders made hundreds of ice holes, which looked round as a whole.
Each ice hole was filled with pipes. From a distance, the pipes sticking out of the ice layer looked like pillars more than one meter long, densely packed.
After that, it was a large-scale construction project. The city builders and engineering guards unloaded all the equipment in the boat cabin and piled them on the ice. In Black Flag City, the "Globemaster" No. 1 boat was the only heavy transport unit with heavy responsibilities. It could not be occupied for a long time and had to be returned to its post as soon as possible.
It took five or six hours to move all the materials in the boat cabin.
Leaving the bridge and walking out of the warehouse door, Li Meng looked around on the ice with a thin layer of snow.
Snowfield, city builders, engineering guards, piles of equipment, building modules, this is all Li Meng can see.
