Dimensional Expedition

Chapter 133: 133. The State and the Individual (third update)

Views:

The arrival of the Dark Green Clan initially solved the problem of food supply for the camp and Skare.

Lu Cheng returned to the liaison command center of the camp and continued his plan...note that this is 'Lu Cheng's own plan' rather than 'the Celestial Empire's plan'.

Now the things that Lu Cheng has to do are divided into two parts. One part is to lead everyone to explore the world under the assignment of the country.

Exploration includes a lot of content, such as helping Dr. Ji Chuan to study the magical plants in this world, and bringing the Deep Green Clan, a half-elf race with deep insights into magical plants, to the camp, which is also a way for Lucheng to provide assistance.

There are also projects like the exploration of magic itself and how magic can help modern technology. These are all projects that Lucheng needs to find specialized people in this world to assist in national research.

The second is to find the resources needed by the country, such as coal, copper, oil, etc. This is also an indispensable part of the Celestial Empire's exploration plan.

And Lu Cheng’s personal plan... is to obtain energy, how to obtain energy more efficiently.

For example, taking the initiative to contact Princess Nancy of the Kingdom of Xiuenzhelai was Lu Cheng's personal wish, and it was also something Lu Cheng did in order to gain energy.

Of course, this also includes the fact that Lu Cheng really wants to get to know this princess whose vision far exceeds that of others. Now Lu Cheng is also a normal friend with whom Nancy can chat on Penguin and joke when they are in the study group.

The relationship between Lucheng and Nancy established the diplomatic relations between the Celestial Empire and the Kingdom of Xiu'enzhelai. The affairs of Xiu'enzhelai were no longer something Lucheng needed to worry about.

Therefore, the most important part of Lu Cheng’s plan now is to help Scarre attract more immigrants from the Gray Feather Kingdom and the Far South Empire.

Although this plan was assisted by the Celestial Empire, the plan itself was "something Lucheng wanted to do" rather than "a task that the country assigned to Lucheng to complete." In other words, the country did not file a case, nor did it explicitly include it in the alien world development plan.

When Lu Cheng returned to the liaison headquarters, his personal immigration plan had made new progress. The latest contact news from the Shangcheng ship was that a merchant ship was carrying the first batch of immigrants to Scarre.

"What was the name of that guild? The White Salt Guild?"

Lu Cheng sat at the command table of the liaison headquarters, looking at the photo of a merchant ship sent by the Shangcheng ship.

The flag of the merchant ship was painted with a yellow square, and the logo of this flag was exactly the same as the one on the two merchant ships that the upper city ship rescued from a group of pirates.

The businessman who worked part-time as a captain was more dedicated than Lu Cheng had imagined. In less than half a month, he had brought a whole shipload of immigrants to Xiu Enzhe.

Judging from the photos, the refugees sitting on the wooden boat were dressed differently, some were ragged, and some looked relatively neat. Perhaps because there were too many people on board at one time, the entire deck of the wooden boat seemed very crowded.

Even through the photos, Lu Cheng could see the confusion on these people's faces.

"Captain, won't these people cause trouble if they gather in that city?"

Feng Zheng saluted Lu Cheng, and at Lu Cheng's gesture, he moved a chair and sat down next to Lu Cheng.

"I went there for duty a few days ago. There were about 30 policemen in their police station. No... they are called law enforcers here. Can this number of people handle everything?" Feng Kite asked worriedly. "Those law enforcers are rookies who have not received much training."

In China, a county town with a population of over 700,000 is equipped with about 400 police officers and 70 police cars. According to this ratio, Scarre's current population is around 19,000, and 30 law enforcers... Lu Cheng doesn't know if he can handle it.

"It may be impossible to manage it on Earth, but here we have the Crystal Spirit, so we can save the trouble of investigating and interrogating. We can just send someone to arrest anyone who does something bad. It shouldn't be a big problem."

The reason why Lucheng dared to help Scarre introduce a large number of refugees from other countries so unscrupulously was because of the surveillance of the Crystal Spirit.

The Crystal Spirit may be far more effective in public security management than any of the various public security systems on Earth. As long as anyone is within the range of the Crystal Spirit's surveillance, the Crystal Spirit will report any theft or even murder to law enforcement officers immediately.

Even if a civil dispute occurs locally, the Crystal Spirit can use words to restore the situation on the scene for law enforcement officers to judge.

Therefore, what the law enforcers of Skarre have to do is to learn their new laws well, and then listen to the report of the Crystal Spirit on the spot, and then take direct action.

"Crystal Spirit? I've been in this world for a few months, but I still don't understand anything about magic." Feng Kite said, scratching his head awkwardly.

"So how is your relationship with the pictorial?" Lu Cheng asked.

After the first phase of the exploration plan was over, Lu Cheng should have called his three former team members by their names, but everyone had become very familiar with each other during that mission, and had already established friendships. The code names in the mission became nicknames that everyone called each other, and it was difficult for Lu Cheng to change his words.

However, two of them also found love.

"Captain, you haven't been in the camp for some time, so how did you hear about this?" Feng Kite was unexpectedly shy when he mentioned this.

"I haven't told you what your relationship with the pictorial is. I'm just asking casually."

Lu Cheng felt a chill run down his spine when he saw the shy look on the grown man's face.

"It doesn't matter actually. Feng Kite has been busy taking care of Visa recently. Captain, you should know her." Feng Kite said.

"I know. He's the playmate of Noy's kid."

In the past, when Lu Cheng followed the Shangcheng ship to perform missions at sea, he would still go back to the camp through the portal at night to pick up Nuoyi and take him home.

So Lu Cheng basically knew all of Nuoyi's classmates. Visha was the last little girl rescued by the rescue team. Because her legs were broken by the collapsed high wall, she can only live in a wheelchair now.

If it was old Scarre, she would have a hard life in the second half of her life. Lu Cheng had heard from General Hubert in the past that most civilian parents in this world would abandon their disabled children.

After all, living in this world was already a difficult thing in the past, so who would be willing to take care of a burden that brings no reward

But Visha is lucky... the arrival of the rabbits has made the goal of civilians in this world no longer "survival", but "living".

She was even luckier to meet Illustrated Book who was willing to take care of her. No...it wasn't just her luck that she met Illustrated Book. Even if Illustrated Book was not in the camp, there would be other people willing to take care of her.

This kind of kindness may be something that only modern people can achieve.

"If we want Scarre to continue to develop, we must also improve the basic quality of its residents." Lu Cheng muttered to himself as he thought about this.

"Captain, what did you say?" Feng Zheng didn't hear Lu Cheng's mumbling clearly.

"I said you still need to work harder! Although I shouldn't encourage you to do this for the sake of the order of the camp, as a private person I still hope that you can..." Lu Cheng patted Feng Zheng's shoulder, "Get the girl you like as soon as possible."

"Captain... Captain, it's a pictorial..."

When Feng Zheng turned around and was about to say something, he found that Lu Cheng had disappeared into the liaison command center.

"It's the magazine chasing... me..." Feng Zheng muttered the following words to himself as he watched Lu Cheng disappear.

On the other side, Lu Cheng had appeared on the deck of the city ship through the portal. Lu Cheng looked at the sea level in the distance and the sea breeze blowing in his face, and put on combat gloves.

"I need to work harder, too, in my personal capacity."
