"What, Mayor Luo is here?" Cui Weichuan repeated in surprise.
"Yes, you see many people cheering in the distance!".
At this time, the team leader ran over, holding a thin-skinned trumpet, and loudly encouraged: "Comrades, fellow workers, Mayor Luo is probably going to come here for an inspection. Don't stop working, don't chat with each other, let Luo City The commander saw the enthusiasm of our 15th Brigade and everyone started to take action.”
The captain of Cui Weichuan's brigade was a strong man with a tough appearance, but his voice was obviously trembling when he spoke, his face turned red, and he was so excited that he couldn't control himself.
"good!"
Everyone cheered loudly, and immediately after, everyone felt as if they had been injected with chicken blood, and their bodies were filled with infinite power. The voices of shouting slogans were loud and powerful, one after another, even the cold was under this kind of fiery work enthusiasm that can burn everything. Also stay away for a while.
Under the repeated publicity of the media, even ordinary people will be mythized, not to mention, Luo Yuan, a superman who truly saves mankind, and the closer you are to the bottom, the more serious the phenomenon of being mythologized, almost to the point of blind obedience. In such a fanatical atmosphere, even the most rational people will be affected.
What's more serious is that the objects of his worship are not only ordinary citizens, but also penetrated into every corner of Hope City.
To this day, even if Luo Yuan loses all his power, his power is still unshakable. Even if someone wants to rebel, there will be a situation where no one can follow him.
…
"Due to the limited private reserves of warm clothing, as of now, we have mobilized a total of 32,000 people!" Tian Jinping, the deputy mayor in charge of the project, reported the situation to Luo Yuan.
Compared with Luo Yuan's still thin casual clothes that seemed to not feel the cold, he wore thick and solid clothes, and his originally thin figure now looked a bit bloated.
"Is the cold protection factory open now?" Luo Yuan nodded and said.
"Before seven o'clock last night, all workers were recalled and production officially started!" Tian Jinping said carefully from the side.
"That's good!"
Tian Jinping was slightly relieved. He was not lustful, greedy for money, and did not like enjoyment. He worked conscientiously, but he was a standard power animal. He had very low material requirements and enjoyed the process of exercising power.
Facing someone like Luo Yuan who can completely determine his destiny, the other party's attitude of approval is undoubtedly the best compliment for his work.
"Mayor, I checked the production situation of fur clothing last night and found that the production quantity is more than 100,000 pieces. Many people have warm clothing, but they have formal jobs and will not participate in the recruitment. Therefore, I suggest that from The Ministry of Finance will allocate part of the funds to buy back a group of citizens who have warm clothes. In this case, there will be no shortage of workers tomorrow.”
Luo Yuan paused, pondered for a while, and agreed: "This is a good suggestion. Let's buy it back at the original price. In addition, this group of workers will also be included in the buy-back objects, and then rented for free. You can write up a plan later. Come up here and I’ll give you an approval.”
As Hope City's thermal insulation measures continued to improve, these warm clothes that citizens rushed to buy at high prices had long since become useless. If they were kept, they would accumulate public resentment. If Tian Jinping hadn't reminded him, he would have almost ignored them.
As for the government's financial situation, there is no need to worry about this aspect. Both Hope City and the former reconstruction area implemented a limited market economy during the war. There were very few commodities circulating on the market. The role of money (food stamps), It is extremely restricted, and even some scarce commodities cannot be purchased with money at all. Even if a large number of food stamps are printed, citizens will not be able to spend the extra money except to improve their diet.
However, this kind of financial system is undoubtedly deformed, and will only be implemented in the special era of the end of the world, when all resources are used to serve the war. Once peace comes, without the pressure of a powerful enemy, privilege will inevitably breed and the corruption of the power class will accelerate.
Therefore, in his plan, restoring the natural circulation market is an inevitable step, but not yet, at least until humans migrate to spaceships.
…
Luo Yuan looked at the bustling mining site and the fiery and excited eyes as he passed by. Even though he was used to seeing all this, he couldn't help but be affected by it.
The temperature here is as low as minus 70 degrees, and the conditions are extremely harsh. If the human body was in the past, no matter how much you wear, you will lose heat quickly in this harsh environment, resulting in frostbite and necrosis. If you stay here for more than half a day, It can even be fatal.
Nowadays, human beings' physiques are generally two to three times stronger, and their ability to withstand cold is also stronger. However, they are only slightly stronger, and their life levels have not fundamentally changed. There is still some frostbite on the faces of these people, Luo Yuan It was even found that the tips of many people's noses were so numb from the cold that they didn't even notice they were covered in ice.
"What time does construction start here!" Luo Yuan asked. He looked at the time and saw that it was already half past ten.
"Six-thirty!" Tian Jinping said.
"The time is too long, and the environment here is so bad that it cannot be measured by ordinary jobs. I would like to make a suggestion: work for two hours, then take a half-hour break. In addition, the canteen should provide hot dishes and hot soup around the clock to replenish the workers' physical fitness. " Luo Yuan said.
It was said to be a suggestion, but how could Tian Jinping really take it as a suggestion? He immediately admitted his mistake with a sad look on his face and said: "Mayor, it was my negligence that caused such a mistake. Fortunately, the mayor reminded me, otherwise everything would have been ruined." Big mistake, I will arrange new work rules immediately after I return."
Seeing his ugly face wrinkled up, Luo Yuan was slightly speechless. Although he had been the mayor for such a long time, he was still not used to Tian Jinping's clumsy patting from time to time.
If he hadn't been very capable and dedicated to his work, Luo Yuan would have doubted how he became the deputy mayor.
Maybe even the best people will have shortcomings.
"Go there and have a look!" Luo Yuan changed the subject.
…
"Mayor Luo is coming this way!" Cui Weichuan had been paying attention to Luo Yuan's movements, and when he saw Luo Yuan really coming this way, he said with excitement.
"It's really here!" The worker opposite had his back turned and couldn't see what was going on behind him. He asked nervously, his palms getting a little sweaty.
"Well, there are still a few hundred meters left. Let's work harder together and shout, hey yo yo hey hey..." Cui Weichuan encouraged.
The rhythmic shouting suddenly became louder.
Cui Weichuan shouted, feeling suddenly worried. How would Luo Yuan react when he saw him
You will still shake hands when saying hello, how should you respond when the time comes.
Of course, it is more likely that the other party has already forgotten him. After all, he is just a nobody. How could he still remember him after such a long time!
While he was thinking wildly and worrying about gains and losses, Luo Yuan was slowly walking towards this side.
His heart was pounding, and then he saw Luo Yuan suddenly looking this way, vaguely seeming to nod slightly to him, and a strong joy suddenly surged into his heart, as if he was drunk.
It turned out that Mayor Luo still remembered him and nodded to him.
Although Luo Yuan just passed by here and did not stop, and walked away not long after, Cui Weichuan was still excited.
"Have you seen it?" Cui Weichuan was still excited and whispered: "Mayor Luo just nodded to me."
"I saw it, I saw it too, but captain, although you are the captain, I still want to say that Mayor Luo is nodding to all of us. You can't have it all." The workers next to him were equally excited. Seeing Cui Weichuan thinking If you want to take it all to yourself, he suddenly said dissatisfiedly, this kind of honor can be completely bragging for a lifetime, and even the captain cannot take it away.
"Yes, yes, captain, this is a collective honor and belongs to our entire team. How can Mayor Luo just nod to you!" Everyone around agreed.
Cui Weichuan was stunned: "But, Mayor Luo and..."
He had just opened his mouth and was only halfway through his words when the captain's tin trumpet rang not far away: "Everyone has seen Mayor Luo's attitude just now. He is very satisfied with our work. This is an honor for everyone in our brigade. I hope everyone will continue to work hard and strive to be the first..."
Cui Weichuan opened his mouth, feeling confused.
…
Unexpectedly, he met an acquaintance, Luo Yuan thought.
His memory is amazing, and he naturally knows Cui Weichuan, who has been there before. If it were in the past, he might have a few words to understand the current situation. But now that he is in this position, he represents more than just an individual. Every move he makes will be interpreted under a magnifying glass, broken into pieces, and pondered over and over again.
When Li Wei became an official, this phenomenon was not limited to ancient times.
Not to mention Luo Yuan, whose power is infinitely amplified and no one can limit it.
Even if he doesn't reveal the slightest intention, there are still officials below who will over-interpret it, which is what Luo Yuan tries his best to avoid!
…
He inspected the ice mining site and left quickly. Next, he went to the Genetic Laboratory in Hope City without stopping, because this morning he received news from the laboratory that the conditions for plant cloning here were mature.
Since most of the scientific researchers moved to the spacecraft, the scientific research activities in Hope City have basically stagnated. This laboratory that specializes in cloning is undoubtedly the only one where scorpions shit.
"Take me to see your results?"
"Okay mayor!" the director of the institute said quickly. The laboratory was already prepared for the mayor's inspection and quickly led Luo Yuan to the embryo storage cabinet.
The plant embryos are placed in petri dishes inside. Because they are in the early stages of division, the plant embryos are small and pitiful, so a petri dish is enough.
Luo Yuan took one and looked at it carefully. The director introduced:
"These are clones of the fifty plants we screened. Some are our current food plants, and some are samples collected before the disaster. Now most of them have grown to one millimeter in size. It is expected that these plant clones will be cloned in two to three days. The body will sprout, and if it is a vegetable, it will mature in six to ten days.”
"Wouldn't this grow faster than vegetables in agricultural areas?" Luo Yuan didn't know much about plant cloning and asked with some confusion.
"That's true. Plant clones have the characteristics of short growth cycle and rapid reproduction."
As if to make up for the bad impression left in front of the mayor, the director of the institute was fully prepared this time and continued: "In order to grow faster, our laboratory is still researching more efficient plant culture medium. Now There are already some clues, and according to conservative estimates, the growth rate will be accelerated by 50%.”
"Well done!" Luo Yuan nodded with satisfaction.
Facing the mayor's rare praise, the director of the institute looked excited, and even the wrinkles on his face seemed to be dancing: "Our institute will definitely continue to work hard..."
Luo Yuan stopped him from continuing to express his determination: "I don't like to listen to lies. What I want to see is hard work. As long as it is done well, I will see it."
"Yes, mayor!"
Luo Yuan took out a sample of the heart of wisdom that he took from the bedroom in the morning and said with a serious face.
"Now that the plant cloning technology in your laboratory has matured, this research task can also be carried out.
This is a special plant that will definitely change the destiny of mankind. I ask you to clone it and study it. This kind of research is not only carried out in your laboratory, but also in other laboratories. Their research equipment is more advanced. There are more people, so I hope you won’t be outcompeted by other laboratories. "
The director was shocked when he heard this. He was under great pressure but also extremely curious. He was also an authoritative scientific researcher, and he still maintained the strong thirst for knowledge that belongs to scientific researchers. He was able to tell the mayor about plants that changed the destiny of mankind. , which really surprised him.
"Mayor... Mayor, what kind of plant is this?" he asked boldly.
"wisdom Tree!"
