Chapter 014: Lucid waters and lush mountains are mountains of gold and silver
The urbanization process of the federation is almost 100 per cent, there is no administrative setup at the county and village level, and the minimum is the municipal unit. This is not because the federal government is inhumane, but because it is completely unnecessary.
The first is the issue of population density, with a total population of only 100 million on a planet, and an administrative capital like Xiadao City that only accommodates 80,000 people. The city's administrative territorial units as the basis are sufficient, and if they continue to be divided, there is no benefit other than bloating institutions and affecting efficiency.
Then there is the environmental problem, and there is no room for survival in the administrative districts below the city.
Food is the world's primary productive force, but normal food processing and agriculture only maintain basic livelihoods. If you want good quality food, especially to maintain source energy cultivation, you must be wild and untouched. In order to ensure this demand, the federal government has gone to the extreme.
On any planet, the area outside of the city remains the most pristine landscape. Under federal law, environmental pollution is a felony. Even if the cats and dogs are defecating in the open, the owner has to be a manure digger for a month. As for discharging sewage into the river or something, the sentencing standard is equivalent to drug trafficking.
Li Mu has no opinion on the construction of ecological civilization. Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets, which is a great adage that has been widely spread in the 21st century. It's just that in this era, the concept of ecology seems to have been implemented a little too much. The city is full of high-tech and modern buildings, but as long as you leave the city limits, it is basically a primeval jungle.
The primeval jungle is quite primitive, and most of the plants and animals do not develop normally as if they were taking drugs. Any adult wild boar can grow to weigh one or two tons, and the kind of one hundred and eight catties is definitely stunted. Not to mention that there is a very special "dangerous species", which is a terrible guy that only the army can deal with.
Such a food source can certainly guarantee the quality, but the pressure to survive in this environment can be imagined. The city is protected by a wall and an army, and the people who live there are safe people. But beyond the wall, there are dangerous places where no one can enter. Not to mention building a house to live in, even if you take a walk, you have to risk your life.
So under normal circumstances, there would never be a village. Only in some very special cases will there be some. For example, wanted criminals, stowaways from other planets, or Bei Ye groups who want to challenge themselves and challenge nature, etc.
The family on the migration registration form has legal citizenship and is likely to be of the type that defies nature. But people challenge nature, but Li Mu is more life-sparing. If you really want to go to the jungle to talk to Bei Ye about work, you have to be equipped with an army. The reason why he had the courage to hesitate this time was because the place he was going to was not a jungle, but an island.
Xiadao City is an island city surrounded by no primeval jungle, only the sea. The family was located on a small island more than 200 kilometers east of the city. With an area of less than one square kilometre, the island is relatively safe, and the danger comes mainly from the sea.
Li Mu is traveling on official business, and he can apply for an aircraft through the Immigration Bureau, which can be reached in ten minutes. Flying creatures may be physiologically limited, mostly maintaining a harmless, pocket-sized size, and very few can pose a threat to humans. As long as the weather conditions are good, there is no need to worry about safety on the road.
It's just that there is a chance that everything will fall into the sea in the middle of the road, or a mutated crab or something will crawl onto the island just after arriving at the place, and there will be no place to cry. Although the probability is low, even such a low probability of crossing has happened, what else is impossible?
However, for the sake of next month's meal ticket, Li Mu learned from the pain, and finally decided to compromise with reality and prepare for the first "adventure" after crossing over.
......
"Big brother, don't go, I'll have something to do when I get back to the bureau later......"
"Big brother, don't leave the aircraft if there's nothing to do, and try not to fall asleep......"
"Big brother, don't forget my suicide note......"
In an open space on the island, Li Mu and the pilot said goodbye. When he finally stepped off the aircraft, Li Mu only felt that he was quite tragic, and he had the feeling of being windy and cold. But at this moment, the pilot's feeling is comparable to a manure tank butterfly.
A trip to this small island cannot be said to be risky, but it is also far from the level of life and death. But Li Mu was good, before setting off, he checked the aircraft repeatedly, checked the sea area report and weather conditions in the past month, and even wrote a suicide note, remembering his life there on the way......
What I know is to do immigrant home visits, and those who don't know must think that I am going to go to the battlefield, or the kind of death squad. If it weren't for the psychological quality, the pilot would really have the urge to throw Li Mu into the sea halfway.
However, when the pilot unconsciously turned his head, he suddenly felt that there seemed nothing wrong with writing a suicide note.
Some fish species that do not belong to the shallow sea scramble to jump out of the water, and some jump to the shore as if they are hiding from something terrifying. The originally blue and calm sea suddenly became darker. A series of bubbles the size of a house bubble emerged from the water one after another, churning huge waves.
After being stunned for a moment, the pilot pulled the joystick almost instinctively, and after the source energy was injected, the aircraft roared up and instantly rose into the air. At the same time, the pilot pressed a certain button for the first time.
"XD7B74392 call, XD7B74392 call...... Large marine life found on Island 941, the threat level is unknown......"
Every city has a sound defense system, and everyone has the right and duty to warn when a threat is detected or encountered. After receiving the report, the military will first screen the data and then send investigators to confirm it. After the threat is confirmed to be credible and the threat level is ascertained, a decision will be made on whether to clear the hunt.
After reporting the situation, the pilot paused for a moment and considered whether to go down and take Li Mu with him. But when he turned his gaze to the sea again, he couldn't think about anything.
The shadows beneath the surface of the sea become more and more pronounced, almost the size of an island. What's even more terrifying is that at the edge of the shadow, a pair of eyes appeared at some point.
It's the size of an eye, almost the size of a flying machine. The two eyes were staring at each other, and the pilot was distraught.
"XD7B74392 call! XD7B74392 call! it's an interstellar behemoth! it's an interstellar behemoth!"
Large organisms are just large creatures, and they are still in the category of animals. But after a certain extent, it is an interstellar monster, second only to the existence of dangerous species.
He is a civilian aircraft driver, and the nature of his work is equivalent to that of a taxi driver. It is brave to go down to save people, and it is human nature not to go down. The sea is in the sea, and if the thing inside really escapes, he will only have one more life if he goes down. It is better to leave the follow-up rescue operation to a professional person. If you can't catch up......
The pilot glanced at the suicide note that had been thrown next to him, and carefully picked it up and put it in his arms.
Only then did he suddenly realize that the young man was not timid at all, but prescient. Maybe I noticed something, or maybe it was some clues, and I came to the island to confirm it in person.
That's why the young man left a suicide note, so the young man reminded himself to be safe.
Amazing, warriors, martyrs......
The pilot felt that he had a great responsibility, he had to let the rescue team know about the existence of this young man, and he could not let such heroic deeds be buried.
So, with tears in his eyes, the plane flew away.
At this moment, he really felt that the young man named Li Mu was very tragic.
