Chapter 249: The Sand City (1)
Peking International Airport.
A passenger plane of East Island Airlines slowly landed on the runway.
One by one, the passengers got off the plane.
"Whew!" As soon as Ma Wu stepped out of the cabin, the cold outside gave him a dismount.
Behind him, a tightly wrapped young man let out a white breath: "Whew! Is this Beiping? It's so cold! ”
"Gone!" Team leader Song Ping smiled and beckoned everyone to go outside the airport.
"Got it."
"I'm here in Beiping!"
"It's my first time in the mainland."
A group of young people hooked their shoulders and shouted and talked.
They are students of the East Island Campus of United Aerospace University, and they are astronaut majors, with a total of thirty students, as well as team leaders and instructors, and three teachers.
Instructor Zhou Libin frowned and coughed dryly: "Ahem!" Pay attention to the image! ”
A group of young people heard Zhou Libin's voice and immediately became quiet.
Today's weather in Beiping is clear, with only some thin snow on the ground.
Song Ping and Zhou Libin took a group of people to the airport gate, where two surging lotus electric buses were already waiting for them in advance.
The group will take the train to the railway station, and then take the train to continue north to Sangendalai in the former Hunshandak Sandland, which is now the capital of sand.
The bus slowly started and left the airport.
In the car, a group of young people were talking quietly.
This astronaut professional class is not all native to East Island, 17 people are mainland students, and the remaining 13 people are local to East Island, and Ma Wu, who previously changed his major to astronaut major, is among them.
However, even if they are mainland students, most of them have never been to Beiping.
Ma Wu looked at Liao Qingsong, who was full of interest on the side, and asked curiously, "Isn't Qingsong, your home in Luoyang?" It's very close to Beiping City! You haven't been to Beiping?"
"Nope! It is not easy for my family to provide me with education, how can I have the money to travel to Beiping. Liao Qingsong said helplessly.
Ma Wu also knows Liao Qingsong's family background more or less, and the reason why the other party transferred from South China University of Technology to United Aerospace University, and also chose the astronaut major.
The main reason is that the astronaut program at United Aerospace University is free, in addition to food and accommodation and an annual subsidy of 12,000 Martian coins, and if you have excellent grades, you can also apply for a scholarship.
This is a temptation for students from poor families.
Of course, the astronaut profession is very hard and not something that ordinary people can bear.
"There are a lot of electric cars in the mainland!"
"There are not many in Beiping, but there are many in my hometown, and almost all of them are electric vehicles."
"So many electric cars should be very expensive, right? There are frequent power outages in Hsinchu and Taoyuan, how are you doing here?"
"Uh...... See those street lamps on the ceiling no! ”
"What's the mystery of these roofs?"
"These roofs are solar power films, and the total annual power generation in the mainland this year has reached more than 8 trillion kilowatt hours, and the electricity of these electric vehicles is small." Liao Qingsong pointed to the solar power film on the roof and explained.
"More than 8 trillion kilowatt hours?" Ma Wu was very surprised, he opened the holographic bracelet and clicked on the stars to search.
"Dongdao should soon have no shortage of electricity, after all, your big boss is Galaxy Technology, and these solar power generation films are their products."
"Holy! It's true! ”
Liao Qingsong looks like you are rare and weird.
On the cold and windy road, two surging lotus electric buses came to the gate of the railway station.
Galaxy Technology's branch in Beiping has already bought train tickets for them.
Fortunately, the branch had bought train tickets for them in advance, and the popularity of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen had decreased in the past two years, so the railway station was not so crowded.
The reason why the popularity of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen has declined is that, on the one hand, Shanmei, the capital of science and technology, has sprung up, diverting a lot of labor.
On the other hand, the promotion of rural cooperatives has allowed some migrant workers to return to their hometowns to start businesses or work, and some of the labor force has returned.
The emergence of this phenomenon also indicates that the domestic economy is moving towards a relatively balanced state, the attractiveness of large economic zones is declining, and the Matthew effect has also been weakened.
From the beginning of 2018 to the beginning of 2019, the housing prices in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen have dropped by about 14~16%, and other large cities have also seen a downward trend in housing prices to varying degrees.
On the contrary, housing prices in those small counties have risen, but not by much.
In addition, the diversion and return of labor has also led to an increase in wages, which is also a choice that those companies have to choose.
The group company of Galaxy Technology alone has attracted millions of laborers, and it is a relatively high-end labor force.
After all, the treatment of Galaxy Technology is at least 30% higher than that of other companies in the same professional position.
The most important thing is that there is a house allocation, even in the Galaxy Technology branch or group company in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, those employees have a house quota, which is also the reason why the income of the Planet Group is very large, but the profit is very low.
In this way, if other companies do not improve the treatment of employees, it will really not be able to retain people.
After all, some bosses or entrepreneurs like to brag about their so-called dreams and do not give actual treatment.
If given the choice, these dream companies will definitely not be able to retain people.
Above the train.
Ma Wu looked out the window at the scenery flying by, and he was amazed by the development of the mainland, which was completely different from the education they had received for more than 20 years.
A year and a half ago, he went to San Francisco to be an exchange student at Mi Li's house, and at that time he was still complacent that he could go to Mi Li's house.
Now after coming to the mainland, he knows that the development of the Eastern Tang Dynasty is not inferior to the Mi Li family, and even surpasses it.
The sense of crisis and isolation in the East Island is also reflected in Ma Wu, so they worship the strong and desire to be recognized.
And after the drastic changes in Dongdao, that sense of confusion also enveloped all Dongdao people.
However, with the continuous in-depth exchanges between the East Island and the mainland, especially the tolerance and understanding of the younger generation, this confusion is temporary, and time will dilute everything.
And Ma Wu was the first to change their mentality, and they suddenly felt like they were back in the big family.
Thoughts are drifting, and the train is still so unstoppable.
As we get closer to the sand capital of Sangendarai, the scenery on both sides of the railway is also changing.
Rows of huge glass greenhouses and wind turbines come into view.
"Cool!"
"I heard that this place used to be a desert, it's really hard to imagine."
"The project to rebuild the Yellow River is no joke."
"Even a desert that injects tens of billions of cubic meters of fresh water a year has to be turned into a forest."
"Rebuild the Yellow River and oasis, and dare to change the sun and moon into a new sky."
Listening to the bold words of his classmates, Ma Wu suddenly had a sense of honor.
"Isn't it particularly shocking! It was also the first time I saw the magnificence of the Sand Capital. Liao Qingsong bumped Ma Wu's arm.
"Yes! It's shocking. Ma Wu replied with a smile.
As we get closer and closer to the sand capital, Sangenda comes.
Outside the car window, there are not only huge glass greenhouses and wind turbines, but also some trees and shrubs that have lost their leaves.
From time to time, there are also artificial lakes that are covered in ice, and these artificial lakes are used to improve the local climate.
