Chapter 34: The Strange Tale of Three Hundred Speeds per Hour
Of course, the pre-business activities are not limited to the catering industry. Legal, whatever you want, you can find it in all corners of the new city when the workers come to work.
The various fast-moving consumer goods that once surprised Charles and Elta are about to appear, all kinds of soft drinks, snacks are not a problem, and instant noodles that have been well received by people from all walks of life in Elta will continue to be placed in a prominent position on the store shelves...... The sensitivity of capital is really laughable.
Of course, there is also alcohol that is all over the world. Red wine and fruit wine are registered for supply, while white wine and other spirits are restricted to limited taverns and are strictly forbidden to take. The reason for this is that alcohol kills people. If the supply is released, the police will probably have to protest.
On the other hand, the abundance of clothing makes it less necessary for workers working outdoors to drink alcohol to ward off the cold. The backlog of down jackets from the major domestic markets is bought and bought by the big hands in the new area at a low price, and the friends who come to work will send a candy first, and each person will have one, and the wives and children will also come with them, and they can buy it back, and I don't care if you want to resell it. Overcapacity has become a huge benefit here......
Of course, the interior conditions are also very good - compared to the indigenous people's own housing. There is heating in the temporary dormitory, and there is a separate bathroom in the family dormitory, and there is a bathroom for every six people in the bachelor's dormitory. There is hot water in the collective bathhouse, and sweets are subsidized for bathing. After all, it is much easier to pay a small amount of money for bathhouses and hot water than to provide them with endless medical care and to suppress labor antagonism and discontent in their own country and to prevent conflict.
The result of the all-encompassing situation in the new district is that as soon as the workers of Elta set off, people from all walks of life from China are already sitting here with their butts hot. A strip of temporary shopping streets connects the temporary dormitories to the construction site, dotted with co-working buildings in the new district and Elta, customs and border inspection buildings with the Chinese-Elta brand, police stations and military barracks. For the time being, electricity is generated by domestic coal, and when the temporary small hydropower is completed, the coal can be cut off, after which the local coal mines in the Noi region and the hydropower of Lake Marsachi will take over the baton.
Workers from China are only responsible for the rough branches and leaves of large projects, such as paving a main road, burying pipelines, paving the road rollers, driving away and plugging in street lights, people immediately move to other projects, what curbstones, green belt filling soil cultivation, sidewalk floor tile laying, that is the work of the aborigines. The same scenario will continue throughout the construction of the new city in the future, until some people can learn to keep up with the pace of these skilled workers.
It's not that they don't have a hand to help, and the Franks who are about to visit Shanghai on the other side of the portal at this moment are their forerunners, and the inheritance of knowledge will start from them.
Frank and other top people in the more than a dozen seed regiments who were qualified to visit Shanghai as they wished, Doniva who was invited to accompany him, and Prancys and General Yazetan who accompanied the Lord of Shield City, this is the lineup of Elta's first tour group that Huang Yuan will accompany the interpreter and tour guide. As for Luo Aya, who arrived at the portal base with Huang Yuan, she was undergoing "on-the-job training" - a lengthy course that included Elta's language etiquette, self-defense techniques and the use of self-defense firearms, and the rules of various new district staff, so Huang Yuan didn't have to worry about her at all.
At first, Frank was excited to visit the modern city of this powerful otherworldly country with Elta's big names, such as the revered Imperial Magician, and his lords and his generals, but when the two of them met, he realized that it was the visit itself that excited him, not the dignitaries. The entourage of the new district, who led them and served them, with a confidence that was so proud that every pore on their body was gushing all the time, overwhelmed the richly dressed Elta visitors in the crowd. They dress simply without losing their neatness and demeanor, and their gestures are natural and not pretentious. That noble look from top to bottom seemed to torture the Elta princes through hundreds of years of civilization, which Frank could only look up and not understand for the time being.
I can't understand it for a while, but Frank will gradually understand where this domineering self-confidence comes from. Since the group got on the fastest ground transportation in the country from Cangzhou West Railway Station, Frank's comprehension skills should have begun to read the strip.
This is the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway, the fastest legend on the ground at 300 kilometers per hour. From the moment you board the train, you will have a lot of questions about this means of transportation. From the way of travel to the interior, the questions are one after the other. Most of the questions were asked by the seed students, and it was evident that the people on Doniva's side, though also full of questions, were trying to control their curiosity and desire for knowledge - but their eyes betrayed them.
Prance had no scruples, and began to make small talk with Frank, who was sitting closest to him. He had never seen the earth retreat at such speed as he had ever seen the earth retreat when he was riding a wyvern, and he was amazed. What surprised him even more was that Frank, who used to be a local peasant and a soldier, was only a month or two old, and he looked a little similar to the people in the new district. What he didn't know was that the peasant's inferiority complex in front of the magician, and even the careful respect, had long since disappeared from the former peasant soldier in front of him, and there was only that polite respect, and the strong self-esteem that could not be hidden behind the respect.
"It's not magic that keeps this steel cart moving." Frank began to recall the principles and maintenance of electric motors he had learned in school, and pulled them out of his mind, the corners of his mouth revealing a pride that could not be hidden.
Take the power of coal or sunlight or water, convert it into something like thunder and lightning, and use iron or copper to direct it to our car, and then the magnet, you know, the kind of ore that attracts iron nails, and refine the metal that has a strong ability to attract steel, and put them around the copper coil that attracts electricity, so that the copper coil can keep rotating after the electricity is applied......"
"It's a magical power...... "Prancy couldn't answer for a moment." In other words, there was no monster in the car, and no mage was carrying the car forward, all by such a mechanism? Prancy's face was grimacing. He was surprised that a machine without magic could run faster than a wyvern on land.
