Chapter 324: Offshore Platform
Before leaving, Akeru asked Xu Yuan about the price.
"It's just a gift from me, because I don't plan to sell this model of robot on the market, and the cost or something is still calculated." Xu Yuan shook his head.
"Please don't do this, my friend, you will embarrass me, whether it is money or beauty, please tell me what you want." Akeru said earnestly.
In these days of contact, he has regarded Xu Yuan as his friend.
"If you're really embarrassed, make this a secret between us." Xu Yuan sighed and said.
"Why?"
"I can't explain why, it's a technique."
Akeru didn't quite understand the meaning of Xu Yuan's words, but he accepted his words and promised to keep them a secret for Xu Yuan.
"Your generosity has won the friendship of the Arab people."
Akeru took a deep breath and bowed to Xu Yuan, "No matter what, I owe you a favor, and when I become king, I will definitely repay you." ”
"It is not a loss for me to be able to gain the friendship of His Majesty the future King." Xu Yuan smiled, and finally told him a few more words.
The robot does not get sick and should never take her for a physical check-up.
The robot does not make blood, and although there are blood vessels in the body, she should never be seriously injured.
It must not be "disassembled" without permission, otherwise the protection mechanism will burn the chip.
She doesn't need to recharge, but she needs to eat, and her digestive system is her only source of energy.
Xu Yuan personally put the prince on the plane.
Before boarding the plane, Acoru hugged him again and thanked him.
"If you're coming to Dubai, be sure to contact me."
"Definitely!" Xu Yuan waved his hand and sent the couple on the plane with a smile.
Looking at the flight that disappeared into the sky, the smile on Xu Yuan's face gradually relaxed.
After a while, he suddenly muttered to himself.
"Maybe I shouldn't have promised him."
Liu Ling, who was standing next to him, looked at him in confusion.
If the dead are replaced by machines at will, then no one will die in this world.
One hundred years later, the last human died in his bed, watching friends and relatives who didn't know if it was a man or a machine saying goodbye to him, and then taking out his substitute the moment he closed his eyes.
Just thinking about it, he shuddered.
Shaking his head, Xu Yuan got straight into the car.
Now that he has done it, he doesn't think much about it, and there is another important thing that he needs to arrange.
Here, two hundred kilometers from Tidal Island, buoys with anchor chains rise and fall with the waves, connected by ropes, drawing a circle on the surface of the sea.
More than a dozen engineering vessels surround the five-square-kilometer sea area, anchored here like an offshore platform, and carry out construction procedures around the clock.
Workers on board work in shifts, taking turns to go ashore every Monday to rest.
There is a frigate on standby next to it, and the towering electromagnetic naval guns stand at a 45° elevation angle, guarding the surrounding sea.
Although there are no more coast guard ships in the east to harass Qatar's waters, the necessary vigilance procedures are still indispensable.
The Berry Nation's aircraft carriers are staring at this place, and although they don't dare to send out drones again, they can't guarantee that they won't use underwater reconnaissance equipment.
A large steamer carrying hundreds of containers approached and stopped next to an engineering ship.
The man in the white shirt threw the towel over his shoulder, walked over to the machine, and pulled down the lever hard.
The iron bridge was set between the engineering ship and the ship, and several soldiers wearing mechanical exoskeletons and carrying rifles boarded the ship.
The captain hurriedly greeted him, and walked around the ship with the soldiers of the Star Wish Trading Company.
After confirming that there was no problem, the foreman on the ship began to shout and beckon the workers to work.
The cargo was divided into two batches, one was brought on board and one was thrown into the sea with a robotic arm.
After finishing the work at hand, the man in the white shirt threw the wrench on the side, picked up the towel on his shoulder to wipe the sweat on his face, and then watched with empty eyes as the mechanical arm clamped the heavy container and unloaded it into the sea.
Liu Fan, the workers he knows call him Liu Gong.
He came to the ship two months ago, and he was recruiting online, and the level of Chinese among these workers is relatively high, although he only studied high school.
In the coastal areas of China, many people know this place in the country of Ka, and they also know that there is a large company called Star Wish Trading Company.
Not only that, but they also know that the boss is Chinese, and they also know that this magical boss is also the majority shareholder of Yuanying International Group!
Because they are all Chinese, the boss takes good care of the Chinese, as long as they work in the company for a year and have no criminal record, even they are illiterate and can get immigration passports.
Of course, because they are illiterate, after getting their immigration passports, they will be arranged to enter a community college, where they will receive six months of literacy education.
Although it is literacy, it is actually learning mathematics and English.
Compared with other countries, China's education penetration rate is already very high, and even the illiterate can read, otherwise they will not be able to read the recruitment information.
Education is a welfare, not an industry, in Qatar, which is the opposite of their hometown.
And these workers are also willing to learn, and they all say that knowledge changes fate, right?
"You say, those iron bumps aren't hot in such thick clothes?"
A man walked up to Liu Fan, took out two cigarettes, handed one to him, and lit it himself.
The mechanical exoskeleton is mainly made of aluminum and polyethylene, and there is almost no iron except for a few important parts that are protected by steel.
However, the black metallic luster on the polyethylene bulletproof panel will always make people who don't know how to mistake it for iron bumps.
Liu Fan smiled sneeringly and took the cigarette.
"I don't know, maybe they're not afraid of the heat."
His countryman Wang Wei laughed well, smacked his lips as he looked at the two soldiers standing at the door of the captain's room like stakes.
"It's summer all year round here, but I'm afraid I won't have a chance to see the snow in the future."
"Don't you go home for the New Year?" Liu Fan asked suspiciously.
Wang Wei glanced at him,
"Back to what's home? Wouldn't it be okay to move your home? ”
"Moving your home?"
"Or else? Like we all came late, like my brother who was the first to come here to work, they worked in the virtual helmet factory! It is said that he worked for half a year, and just the bonus he received made up the money for a house. ”
Wang Wei glanced at Liu Fan, who had no knowledge.
Of all the workers, he has a relatively wide range of paths in Qatar.
You must know that his brother came to Qatar with the first wave of immigrants, and after several rounds, he arranged for a virtual helmet factory.
And as the factory got bigger and bigger, his brother also became a squad leader, leading a team of ten people to polish helmet parts.
It is said that he is now ready to quit his job, and with enough money, he intends to use the contacts he has accumulated in the factory to get an order for the production of helmet shells.
Many small businesses in Qatar have made a fortune by relying on orders for plastic shells of virtual helmets, and they plan to try it when they have spare money in hand.
"A house...... That's got to be more than a million. Liu Fan said stunned.
Although his current basic salary is also eight or nine thousand yuan, and the unit also includes food and housing, it seems that it is still a very distant thing to save more than one million yuan to buy a house.
As if seeing the dream in his friend's heart, Wang Wei patted him on the shoulder.
"Don't think it's too difficult to buy a house, there are no black-hearted developers in the country, and Yuanying International Group can't look down on the real estate money, more than one million? I didn't say that you want to live in a villa with a yard, but if you have an apartment building with the logo of Wishing Star Trading Company, it will be enough for 200,000 at most. ”
"Dollars?"
"RMB! In dollars, about $30,000? I'm not good at math. ”
Hearing his friend's words, Liu Fan's face suddenly bloomed with joy.
Counting the subsidy for going to sea, he can get a salary of 2,000 US dollars a month, and if he saves 30,000 US dollars, he can get it after saving for a year and a half.
"However, one person can only buy one set of welfare housing, and the area is only eighty or ninety square meters. Wang Wei said with a smile.
This pursuit, he is also this recent.
Originally, when he was working in Shanghai, he worked tirelessly for more than two years, and he never expected to buy a nest anywhere.
Later, he heard his family mention overseas work by chance, and he learned that there was a shortage of workers in Qatar, so he ran along his brother's path with the mentality of giving it a try.
This time, he didn't want to go back.
Here, he saw hope in buying a house.
For most Chinese people, isn't this life just for a suite and a warm home?
"What are you doing blindly, hurry up and do all the work, there will be a big man to check in a while, be lazy and be careful that I will deduct your bonus."
Operating the robotic arm, the container was thrown into the sea, and the foreman with a cigarette butt shouted and glanced over.
