After a full meal, everyone gathered around to chat and listen to Long Hao tell the story of their Minsheng company.

Being able to eat such meals every day is simply unimaginable for these islanders.

Tomani said, "Brother Dragon, since your hometown is so good, why did you come to our poor place? ”

Long Hao said: "My hometown is good everywhere, but there are too many people.

My eldest brother and I like the quiet, and we both love the beach, the sun and the ocean.

So, my eldest brother asked me to look around and see if I could find a suitable place where I could retire in the future. ”

Tomani said thoughtfully, "You have a crush on this place? ”

"I'm still thinking about it, so I'll come over for a while and feel it."

"My brother must have felt that there is almost no land to cultivate, grain and vegetables can only be imported from other countries, and even fresh water is hard to find.

What's even more troubling is that the whole of Tuvalu seems to be slowly sinking, and those who have a little way out have already left, leaving only those of us who have no way out.

Alas, it is also not known when this island will not exist. ”

Long Hao said: "If we really decide to settle here, the problems you are talking about are not problems.

Our eldest brother's company was originally engaged in this vegetable and fruit business.

He has a large farm, and he can bring a little along the way to make deliveries to other places.

It's just that I heard that you have a rainy season here for several months, so why don't you store the rainwater for your daily use? ”

Tomani looked around and said with a wry smile, "In this place, even if the rainwater is collected, there is no place to put it." ”

Long Hao followed and looked around, and instantly understood.

At the altitude of this small island, there may be a larger storm, and a single wave can sweep across the island, where to find a place to store a large amount of fresh water.

You can store some in an elevated room, but how much can you save?

In short, the biggest problem here is actually the low altitude of the island.

As long as the island is filled in, these problems can be solved.

Everyone understands this truth, but in the middle of this vast sea, where can a large amount of earth and rocks be found to fill in the island?

From the nearest country?

Regardless of whether people are willing to give you the earth and rocks, the cost of such a long distance is not something that this poor country can afford.

Long Hao, who had figured it out, said: "Actually, these are not problems.

If we decide to settle here, with my eldest brother's ability, we can completely transform this place.

There is a shortage of fresh water, so they can just bring some with them when they deliver them.

The island is not actually sinking, but the sea level has risen, so it's a big deal to bring some earth and rocks every time you come over and fill the island. ”

"It's not like our country hasn't tried to fill up the island, and the transportation cost is simply terrifyingly high, and we can't afford it at all."

"The cost of transportation, as long as my eldest brother wants to, is not a big deal.

We can't control the other islands, at least we still have the ability to fill this small island dozens of meters high.

It's just that it seems that you Tuvalu immigrants can't get permanent residency, and the rights of immigrants are a little less than that of the indigenous people.

So, we're still hesitating, and if we go to great lengths to build this place and get kicked out, it will be a bit thankless. ”

Hearing what Long Hao said, Thomani's eyes flickered.

Their worries can be understood by anyone, and no one will be happy when they encounter such a thing.

Maybe this is the last chance to keep your home, and if you miss it, you may not have it again.

But Tuvalu's state power is still there, and changing the country's immigration policy is not something that these 20 or so people on this small island can do.

Bidding farewell to Long Hao, Tomani gathered everyone on the island.

Looking at everyone solemnly, Tomani said, "We have a chance in front of us, a chance to keep our home."

Mr. Long's words must have been heard by everyone, let alone tens of meters, as long as they have the ability to fill this small island more than ten meters high, we will no longer be affected by the waves.

At that time, rainwater can be stored in large quantities, and vegetables and grains can be grown on land that has not been flooded by seawater.

With our efforts, we can be completely self-sufficient.

It's just that their current worries may make all this come to naught, I wonder what everyone can do? ”

One islander said: "After so many years of hard work, our country has not been able to prevent the island from being flooded by the sea."

Why did Mr. Long dare to make such a guarantee?

It is also filled in tens of meters high, you know, we don't have five meters in the highest place in Tuvalu now.

It's hard to believe they can do such a huge project. ”

A young man who followed Long Hao to move supplies said, "I don't think Mr. Long is lying.

When the five of us went with Mr. Long to carry supplies today, the cargo ship was at least twice the size of our largest cargo ship in Tuvalu.

The ship was full of vegetables, fruits and mineral water, and the cargo hold was full.

Mr. Long just said hello to the people on the ship, and casually entered the cargo hold to pick up what he liked.

Everyone knows how many things we moved down before, and if it weren't for the fact that our boat couldn't fit at the time, he would have wanted to carry a few bags of fruit.

Seeing that there was nowhere to put those bags of fruit, my heart was broken.

If it weren't for the fact that it was a little far from the shore, I would have almost jumped into the sea and swam back. ”

Thousands of tons of vegetables and fruits, what kind of scene should it be?

The twenty-odd Tuvaluans were completely stunned by the words of those young men, they had probably never seen so many fruits and vegetables in their lives.

"The fact that they were able to come up with so many supplies at random in such a remote part of the mainland is a testament to their ability," Tomani said.

Whether they can do it or not, it will be beneficial to us.

All we need is the idea to give them a legal and official Tuvalu national status. ”

"But with the strength of the two dozen or so of us, there is no way to push for a change in immigration policy."

Tomani looked at the turbulent sea and said, "Last year, the brothers of the Toafa family went to sea and met with an accident, and we did not report it in order to receive their share of the resources.

We've all benefited from this, so there's nothing to be said.

Now that I have this opportunity, I might as well ......"
