The camp with Dongtan Avenue as the central axis encloses the Dongtan International Conference Center, and the camp is divided into multiple areas for different national missions.

The conference was not much different from the one held at the Houston Research Institute in the United States, the only difference was that the delegations from other countries came to Chongming for several other purposes, that is, everyone wanted to see the development of Chongming in the post-disaster reconstruction model and to discuss the world-class plan of "Glacier Action".

The mission of the United States was the first to arrive at the Dongtan Wharf in Chongming, and after their convoy entered the camp, they began to go to their station.

"Is this the refuge of Huaguo?" Dr. Martin got out of the car, his eyes looking at the ground beneath his feet, slightly distracted.

Dr. Mario did not come to China with the delegation this time, because he had to stay at the Houston Research Institute to preside over the overall situation, and there were not many people from the institute, and most of the members of the delegation were from Washington.

Martin didn't need to come, but she applied to Mario and George Mather, two of the Institute's leaders, to join the group. Mario knew she had a knot in mind, so he agreed to her request and gave her several innocuous tasks.

Rick ...... You've returned home, where are you now? Is it in this place called Chongming? ”

Since parting a few months ago, Martin thought that he would never have the opportunity to see Cai Wenyue again, this time it was a rare opportunity to visit China, although she didn't know where Cai Wenyue was, but to have the opportunity to set foot on the homeland where Cai Wenyue once lived, she felt that the distance between herself and him was much closer.

That day, Martin only saw Cai Wenyue's back when he left on the road outside the data center building, and she called out his name, only to get the other party to look back. Cai Wenyue walked in a hurry, because Charles and the people from the Ministry of Security were on their way to arrest him, and he escaped, escaped from the Houston Institute, and fled from the United States.

This is a hurried farewell, almost a lifetime.

Rows of integrated houses are neatly arranged in regional units, and there are lakes and rivers in the camp, and the barracks are specially built to avoid farmland, and the site is mainly wooded areas.

The Chinese staff live in the southwest corner of the camp, and there is a man-made lake next to it, which is more pleasant than other places. In addition, it is September at this time, although Chongming is close to the sea, the temperature is relatively hot, and it will be much more comfortable to live near the lake.

This is a hidden benefit that belongs to the hosts, and everyone comes outside after putting things away in the room allocated to them. Chen Bin and they were all very familiar with this area of the "joint camp" before, but after the enclosure and the building of the house, it became unfamiliar, and some places have changed quite a lot, and they can only be identified by the lake and the tree.

"Brother Zhang, they shouldn't live with us, right?" Da Fei asked.

"They don't live with us, their units and residences are in the Dongtan International Conference Center."

"Then they're cool," Da Fei was a little envious, he had been to the Dongtan International Conference Center twice, and the facilities and environment inside were first-class in the world under the disaster.

"It's mainly for security reasons," Chen Bin said, "The security system is ready-made, and now it has been strengthened by Brother Wen Yue, and we are here mainly to be responsible for the security and order in the camp." ”

"But Lao Meng, weren't you in the Dongtan International Conference Center before, why are you staying outside with us now?" Da Fei thought for a moment and asked again.

"There is no shortage of people inside, besides, my daughter-in-law lives outside, so I have to apply to live outside." Meng Jie laughed hesitantly, he glanced at Chen Ting quietly, and saw that the girl was still cold-faced, and he couldn't help but "chuckle" in his heart.

While everyone was going to the surrounding activities, Meng Jie quietly grabbed Chen Ting and said, "Daughter-in-law, don't be angry, you see that I took the initiative to apply to give up a comfortable environment to live outside in order to be able to accompany you for a while more every day." ”

"Can you not be angry?" Chen Ting gave him a blank look, anyway, there was no one next to her now, so she said the grievances in her heart, "Think about it from your perspective, if it wasn't that Maggie kissing you at the gate before, but a foreign man kissing me, would you feel comfortable?" ”

"Comfortable? I'm out of gas and it's okay to blow up. Meng Jie said angrily, and as soon as the words came out, he realized that Chen Ting wanted to think about it herself.

"Oh, that's true...... Huang Ni fell into the crotch of his pants, "Meng Jie was helpless, but his wife still had to coax."

Chen Bin and the others walked around the neighborhood and then returned to their accommodation, where there was only one foreign mission in the camp so far. The Chinese arrived earlier than the missions of other countries, and after they settled down, they also familiarized themselves with the environment in the camp, and when they saw the Chinese staff inside, they also greeted them warmly and stepped forward to take the initiative to talk.

Meals are served at the Dongtan Business Center, a building not far from the International Conference Center, which now serves as a multi-purpose logistics base for the camp, with cafes, a fitness center, and a reading room in addition to the cafeteria, a café, a fitness center, and a reading room for visiting members of foreign missions to spend their leisure time.

Most of the country's missions have not arrived, so the "Glacier Operation" has not yet officially started, the preparations in the camp are being carried out in an orderly manner, Chongming is only the first stop, if everyone can reach a consensus here, then the next operation will be relatively smooth.

The venue of the exchange conference was originally scheduled to be in Changping District, which has become the core location of China's scientific research institutions since the Yenching Institute of Genomics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences moved there. It was only for national security considerations that the launch point of "Operation Glacier" was finally placed in Chongming, because the Yenching Genomics Institute in Changping had secrets that Huaguo did not want the outside world to know.

Although Chongming is not as good as Changping in terms of scientific research, its post-disaster reconstruction progress is far ahead in the country and even the world, because of the special environment here, coupled with the national characteristics of the Chinese people to bear hardships and stand hard work, Hengsha Island has become the first safe city that is no different from before the disaster.

Changxing followed suit, the fighting on the island was over, and reconstruction was in full swing. According to the government's plan, when the reconstruction progress of the whole island of Changxing reaches the level of Hengsha, it is time to attack Chongming.

After the arrival of the visiting delegations from various countries, the government will organize the members of these foreign missions to visit the three islands to experience the new face of the local reconstruction after the disaster, which is also one of the purposes of the foreign government to visit Chongming, they hope to learn the model and experience here, and then bring back to their own countries to apply what they have learned.

There are many countries with islands in their territory, but their reconstruction and development work on the islands is far inferior to Chongming. Because Chongming is located at the mouth of the Yangtze River, the land here is very fertile, and the island is flat, and a large area of fertile land is criss-crossed.

In the world before the disaster, Chongming should be regarded as the slowest growing district in Songhu, but at the time of the disaster, the value of the island's farmland resources was more valuable than gold. As the saying goes, the people take food as the sky, and if the people can't eat enough, then what is there to talk about reconstruction.

The Chinese government's ability to organize its people is world-class, and the infrastructure is also impressive, which is an important factor in the reconstruction of the three islands of Chongming, which is far ahead of the rest of the world.

There are also wind farms, which dot the coast of the three islands and were shut down for a short time during the disaster, and then quickly turned again when the government and citizens moved to the islands. Electricity and people's livelihood complement each other, and the impact on urban construction is huge. In addition, with the Yangtze River as a transportation channel, the results of the army's material collection in the surrounding areas can be continuously transported by water.

At this time, the safety of water transportation can be said to be crushing land transportation, after all, there will be no zombies on the river, and ships will not be trapped in the corpses and unable to get out. Therefore, many favorable conditions are placed in Chongming Sandao, and the government is also very wise, making use of them all, which is why Chongming is today.

According to the estimates of professionals, there is still a lot of room for development in the three islands of Chongming, and the population on the islands is less than 100,000 today, which is the only factor restricting the development speed of the three islands. It is said that the productive forces include three basic elements: laborers, labor materials, and labor objects, and now there is no shortage of labor materials and labor objects on the island, and there is a shortage of laborers alone.

The development of all walks of life needs people, not to mention, even the newly opened up safe areas also need personnel to manage and guard. The government not only has a clear plan and development rhythm for the three islands of Chongming, but also has ideas for cities such as Qidong on the north bank of the Yangtze River, but the reasons for the temporary limitation of its own strength can only be shelved.

When it was time for lunch, Chen Bin and the others made an appointment to come to the building of the Dongtan Business Center together, and entered it after swiping the access card.

"The environment seems to be similar to that in your international conference center," Mr. Chen said.

"The business center is only smaller than the international conference center, and the functionality may not be as comprehensive as there, but the practicality is still here." Meng Jie said with a smile, "The reason why this place was not developed at the beginning was because the international conference center was enough, and who knew that now it has been converted into a canteen." ”

"Didn't you say there were cafes and gyms or anything like that?" Chen Ting asked.

"Then I'll take a look later," Da Fei proposed, and everyone had no objections.

The dishes in the canteen are mainly Chinese, and because Chongming is close to the sea, seafood accounts for a large proportion. Chen Bin: They have been in Chongming for a long time, and they have not eaten less seafood with Cao Shengli, and now they are not in a hurry to serve those razor clams and pike crabs when they come to the canteen.

After taking the meal and sitting down, Chen Bin inadvertently looked around, and he suddenly saw several people from the United States Mission sitting at a nearby table eating, and one of the women glanced over to this side, and then walked over with a plate.

This time Chen Bin was very prescient, he stabbed Meng Jie with his elbow without even thinking about it.

"Looking for you."

"What?" Meng Jie had just dismantled half of the crab and was about to put it in his mouth, when Chen Bin's words made him look away from the food.

Chen Ting also raised her head and looked directly in front of him, her eyebrows trembling slightly.
