Central Plains, Southern Henan Province.
In a travel agency in a third-tier city, a couple is sitting on the sofa, looking at the price list with a list in their hands. They are students of the city's university. They were out shopping today. They happened to see this travel agency, so they came in to have a look.
Seeing that the winter vacation was about to start, I was thinking about where to go to have fun, and by the way, have a pre-holiday cannonball.
"Go to Nanzhong, it's warm there." The boy suggested.
"It's a bit expensive, Sifei 5000, isn't there any cheap one?" The girl seemed very sensible.
"There is a strict investigation over there. All the cheap shopping tours have been cancelled, and now they are all luxury tours. Although they are a bit more expensive, the food and accommodation conditions are good, there is absolutely no shopping, and safety is guaranteed." The boss laughed.
"But five thousand is still, let's forget it..."
Girls also want to go, but the financial level of the two is average, and they are reluctant to spend that money. The boy looked at it for a while, and suddenly said: "Hey, there are still groups in Tianshan in winter?"
"Many people go there in winter, the scenery is unique, and it's the off-season now, the price is favorable, and it's only 1,800 for the five-day double flight, which is very cost-effective." The boss tried his best to sell it.
"Ebony, Dakang, Tianshan... Hey, why is there no Huozhou? It seems to be quite close there." The girl looked at it carefully and couldn't help wondering.
"I'm not sure. I also listened to the arrangement of the head office. It seems that all the lines on Huozhou have been cancelled."
"oh… "
The two looked at it for a long time, but they still didn't decide what group to sign up for, so they had to go out first.
On the way back, the boy sat on the bus and played with his mobile phone without saying a word. The girl was a little upset, grabbed her boyfriend's arm, and asked, "What are you doing?"
"It's okay, just brush up on Weibo."
The boy handed over the phone and said, "It happened to be looking at Huozhou."
The girl took a look, and saw the news lined up one by one, and the popularity was quite high:
"Following the XX dam project, another major project in Xiaguo has started."
"The work of resettling 700,000 people has already begun, and they must be resettled properly."
"Why did the world's largest photovoltaic power plant choose Huozhou? Experts will tell you one by one..."
The girl swiped a few times, quite strangely: "This news is a bit crude, it's not detailed."
"Hey, build whatever you like, don't care about us!"
The boy stretched his waist and hugged his girlfriend, only thinking about where to eat later.
For them, Huozhou is a city far away, and the population of 700,000 is just a numerical concept, forgotten in a few minutes.
…
Southwest, a city
In a secret room in a residential area, the two sat facing each other. One was a little older with gray hair, and the other had a sullen expression. It was Zhang Wei.
"They have already taken action, and this is also our opportunity." The old man lowered his eyes, as if he deliberately didn't look at people directly, and his voice was completely inconsistent with his appearance, and it was a bit shrill.
Zhang Wei's eyes were also flickering, as if he was afraid to meet his gaze, and asked, "Are you going to mobilize the believers in Huozhou?"
"No! The last time you acted rashly, you were almost exposed, and you lost three combat forces. This time, we don't want to startle the snake, let them go. The financial expenditure of relocating 700,000 people will lose the natural resources of the entire area, even if it is a giant, We need to rest for a while. When the vision completely explodes next year, we will come out... Hehe!"
The old man suddenly laughed twice, making the listeners extremely uncomfortable, and said: "I have recently studied the inheritance of the ancestors, and I have some clues. Maybe I can use the secret method to strengthen the human body and reach a higher level. The aura of the Flame Mountain is indispensable. .Hehe, God bless you!"
"Oh? Is there any damage?" Zhang Weiqi asked.
"It's nothing more than a loss of life. Compared with restoring the glory of the ancestors, what is this?" The old man slowly raised his eyes, and Zhang Wei quickly lowered his head, forcing himself not to look at the pair of red ghost pupils.
…
Huozhou, the countryside.
In the spacious yard, a middle-aged couple is doing idle work. The woman took two dry corn cobs and rubbed them together, and the corn kernels fell into the dustpan with a rustle.
She rubbed the sticks a few times, absent-mindedly, and suddenly asked: "I said, what do you think? The township government can go door-to-door. I heard that there is only a three-month deadline, and they have to move out."
"I don't care what the time limit is. It's nice to say that if you return the government project expropriation, isn't it demolition?"
The man's neck was twisted, and he grinned with yellow teeth and said, "Just give enough money, otherwise no one will be able to help you. I discussed it with the sixth and eighth brothers, and we will advance and retreat together when the time comes. If you are not satisfied, you will not move."
"Then, nothing will happen, right? This time the force is strong." The woman worried.
"They don't even dare to make a big fuss. One family is called a nail household, and ten families are called a negotiation. Do you know that the law does not punish people?" The man didn't care.
No way, for such a large-scale resettlement project, the resettlement work in the later stage is relatively simple, but the mobilization work in the early stage is extremely difficult.
Officials have adopted similar propaganda methods to Peach Blossom Miasma, using a multi-pronged approach to complement each other.
On the big side: Huozhou needs to build a scientific research base and a photovoltaic power station, and the state will requisition land and houses, requiring collective relocation. As for the migration method, there are various options such as centralized resettlement, decentralized resettlement, active settlement and government resettlement. These people will be scattered to 11 cities in the Central Plains, and the policies of settlement, schooling and employment will be given green light all the way, and the communities there will also be well-established.
This is profit.
On the other hand, the abnormal climate in Huozhou is obvious to all. Experts released some opinions that can be rounded up in any way, rationally fanning the flames, and igniting the fire scientifically, prompting the masses to voluntarily evacuate.
This is harmful.
If in the end, there are still people who are unwilling to move, then I'm sorry, I don't have the time to talk about it, and I will enforce it directly.
…
Ashan County, a gold mine.
This county is rich in resources in Huozhou. In addition to two small gold mines, there are also various mineral resources such as sodium saltpeter, coal mines, and bentonite.
This gold mine was excavated 10 years ago, and slowly expanded from a small pit to the current 85-meter-deep, 920,000-square-meter pit. The entire mining process is completed in this pit.
Pile after pile of whole ore or crushed ore covered the bottom of the pit, with distances between them forming passages. Every day, more than a dozen trucks pass through the passages to transport ore. On average, 2 grams of gold can be extracted from every 1 ton of ore.
Lao Zhang is a truck driver with the same working experience as the mining area. He didn't do any work, but squatted in a corner, looking left and right boringly and dullly.
The mining area is blasted every two weeks in order to excavate new ore. Today is the day of blasting, and preparations are still being made over there, so all personnel are temporarily suspended.
To be honest, he has been working here for ten years, but recently he notices something strange.
According to the words of the leaders, this is called labor to welcome the new year, a hundred-day battle. It has been done before, usually from December to before the Spring Festival, all the staff will work hard, and then there will be a lot of bonuses.
But this year, it feels different.
It's a bit desperate, not like a big battle, but like a grab. It seems that this gold mine will be gone tomorrow, how much can be dug...
"Whoa! Whoa!"
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard a sharp and rapid whistle from the mining area, and at the same time there was a radio reminder. Lao Zhang got up immediately, and together with his workers, drove to the hill above.
"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
The whistle rang several times, then stopped abruptly. After the security officer confirmed that there was no one there, the explosives buried in the underground hole were detonated, and there was a rumbling sound like thunder, shaking the sky and the earth.
Lao Zhang stretched his head and looked down, only to see that the entire mine was billowing with dust and smoke, which lingered for a long time, as if to bury the scarred land.
