Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 343 Southern Orange and Northern Orange
There was snow and wind outside, but Room 3101 was very quiet, so quiet that Zhang He could hear his own accelerated heartbeat.

The black-haired young man opposite gave him a questioning look.

"Where are you from?"

"Chairman, I am a local. I moved to Shagang two years ago and now work in the company." Zhang He said with some stammering.

"It turned out to be one of our own."

The chairman's voice became a little friendlier: "Which department do you work in?"

Zhang He said: "I work in a cattle-taming tribe."

"Taxi driver?"

"Yes, yes."

The other party showed a somewhat surprised look: "So, you met Tuozhu in Shagang, and it was captured here by the people of the Heavenly Kingdom Citizens Department?"

"Uh, Chairman, no."

Zhang He looked a little embarrassed: "Actually... I met Tuo Zhu in Shuanghe area."

The black-haired young man shook his finger and said with a smile, "Sure, your horn-shaped cattle have all been sent over there to start business... Oh, that's not right? The company's horn-shaped cattle and electromechanical cattle have not reached the number of external exports. By the end of this year, there will be less than 400 heads."

"..."

Zhang He explained carefully: "It is actually like this, Chairman. The Bull Taming Tribe now has a taxi business. In addition to taxis, they also provide glider manned flights..."

"I am one of the first batch of pilots who have obtained dual licenses for both vehicles and aircraft. This time I am flying a long distance in Shuanghe, from SH City to Beike City, then to Ganglian City, and finally back to our Shagang."

"Takuzuki is my passenger over there. He chartered the entire plane and is flying to Sand Harbor alone."

The young man opposite frowned slightly: "Let's start from the beginning."

"Yes, Chairman."

……

Zhang He moved here in the second year after the wasteland development company was established.

He first wanted to be a soot worker. This job paid well and was not dangerous. However, the job was full very early, so because he could drive a reinforced vehicle, he became a driver hired by Sand Harbor City.

Zhang He's job was to drive and pick up people. He took mayors, town heads, tax collectors, intelligence officers, etc. between towns, and sometimes he also delivered some things.

Later, when the Wuhu viaduct was put into operation and the number of vehicles increased, Zhang He used his rest time to visit the cattle-training tribe and learned how to drive a horned ox.

The reason for learning new things is that horn-mounted oxen are tougher than car skins and can travel in mountains, deserts, forests, and hills where there are no roads. They have long endurance and hardly consume energy packs in normal use.

Zhang He planned to save money to buy a private ox.

However, clan leader Niu Zhen extended an olive branch.

"Come to our place. Our number of taxi drivers is increasing and we need new drivers. You have a lot of driving experience. We will open up taxi operations in other cities in the future and are currently reserving talents."

The salary of the Bull Taming Tribe was 12000 mushrooms per month, which was the same as that of the workers of the Light Slag. The Wasteland Development Company had more vacations, as well as free medical care and housing benefits that were unmatched by its peers, so Zhang He jumped over without hesitation.

After a while, Niu Zhen informed the tribe again: "In order to better adapt to the current changes, we have ordered three manned gliders from within the company. Now we need to train glider pilots. Anyone who has rich driving experience and knows how to control can come and try."

"The driver's income is a base salary of 24000 mushrooms, plus commissions from flights. The more you fly, the more you earn."

Zhang He signed up and became one of the first drivers affiliated with the tribe.

He completed the flight test in the shortest time, passed the flight around Shagang and the long-distance flight across the Dead Sea, and obtained the long-distance pilot qualification recognized by the company.

Niu Zhen said to him happily: "Finding you was indeed the best decision!"

"Zhang He, you don't seem to be afraid of flying or the Dead Sea at all."

This is not the case.

He just got used to it.

Before coming here, Zhang He had been floating on the Dead Sea all year round, and his job was much more dangerous than flying.

Flying a glider is generally safe if you don't operate it recklessly.

But as a slave trader, even if you just want to send some slaves to a certain place to sell them, you may encounter the Dead Sea monster and your ship may be destroyed and people may die, or you may be robbed by a looting group, or you may be killed in a slave riot.

This industry has good profits, but it is also a truly high-risk industry.

Zhang He was tired of this job.

He was especially tired of telling the slaves over and over again.

"The place you are going to is much better than the one you were before."

"You can eat three meals a day, have clean water to drink every day, and you can take a bath. You don't have to worry about freezing to death in the winter, heating is unlimited, and there is a cool house in the summer. You won't be whipped. If you work hard, you can save a lot of money."

This kind of lie made him want to vomit.

But the slaves will believe it.

They have to believe it.

What else can they believe in?

Do you know that you will go to a dark coal mine to burn coal, or go into a mine dozens of meters underground where it is difficult to breathe, or become a sexual gratification tool for some perverted rich man?

You have to have some luck in life.

Zhang He transferred the reinforced ship to a small slave trader who had just entered the business. The other party had a similar drive as he did in the past.

"Brother Zhang, this business is still the most profitable! I used to be a merchant, but I couldn't make anything."

"How can you get rich without gambling?"

"Brother Zhang, why don't you do this?"

Zhang He smiled and said, "I'm tired and my health is not good. I want to go to a safe place and live a simple life."

He could only wish the other party good luck and hope that this junior could survive and change careers.

He went to Sand Harbor because it was far away from the Twin Rivers area where he had worked, and because of the strong growth of the Wasteland Development Company.

When the results came, he found that the lies he had told were actually the true description of this place.

Zhang He's first feeling was that this was a trick.

There is no need to provide such good conditions.

Then there must be something wrong. For example, the Wasteland Company may be using its employees for experiments, or their work may be extremely dangerous and people may die at any time.

After on-site observation, Zhang He found that it was not the case.

During the period when he first arrived, his worldview underwent a huge change.

He felt very confused and even a little lost. Was there something wrong with him, or was there something wrong here?

Slowly, he found himself blending into this place without realizing it.

It was as if there was an invisible slave trader who, through his actions, outlined the life that most people dream of.

Even if this is a false disguise, it is enough to make people yearn for it.

Chairman Zhou Yi not only made the people here believe it, but also made more sea lords believe it, and even the Governor of Heaven, Mieding Gong, joined his development alliance.

Zhang He suddenly understood at this moment.

If everyone believes a lie, then it is no longer a lie but the truth.

The difference between the chairman and the slave trader is that the latter is just pure lies, while the former turns false hopes into a solid transformation plan, transforming the real environment into what he wants step by step.

What Zhang He found most incredible was that he was actually very lazy in the past. Every time he completed a deal, he would go out to have fun and have fun with all kinds of women.

But now, whenever he has free time, he will study and learn the company's latest achievements.

The same goes for other employees.

Weird.

There is an invisible force that affects everyone.

There are always employees coming up with new ideas, even the glider pilots.

Several people proposed their own solutions, successively solving the problems of air leakage, fragile glass, and air noise in the glider, and even created a constant temperature device in the manned glider - improved by using a flame cup and a refrigeration box.

Zhang He is not good at design and manufacturing. Every time he speaks, he can only talk about trivial matters. He feels like a loser and always feels empty inside.

But what he excels at best is combat flying.

Because of his good psychological quality, Zhang He was one of the first pilots to start flying long-distance routes.

For long-distance flights, manned gliders fly at an altitude of 350 to 500 meters and need red-eyed vultures or thorn birds to guide them, which can protect the gliders. For this reason, the route and range are highly dependent on their actions.

Zhang He proposed: "Can we open up routes within the alliance first? Sand Harbor, Steel Refining City, Shell City, Tree Monster Territory, Shuanghe District, the five major regions should work together to maintain fixed routes."

"Now everyone has manned gliders, right? We can pool our gliders and have one or two flights a day. This way, only one navigator will be needed to lead a dozen gliders."

"It is best to keep the route as simple as possible to avoid duplication of resources. On the basic route, we can increase the number of rounds or gliders."

This suggestion was sent directly to Gong Zheng, assistant to the company's chairman.

A few days later, Gong Zheng approached Zhang He and said, "Your idea is very good. I have contacted several other regions and we have reached a consensus to carry out takeoffs and transfers at the aprons in various places. We have decided to do it according to your method."

"If you have other ideas, please feel free to ask."

Not long ago, Zhang He arrived at the helipad outside SH City and was about to fly back to Shagang from there.

These flights are posted on city notice boards.

However, because there were no unified pricing and other regulations, pilots like Zhang He not only had to manage the flight and pay attention to safety, but also act as ticket sellers. When customers made reservations, they had to keep records and register them themselves.

A passenger named Taku took all four seats.

It also specifically found Zhang He to confirm the flight time.

The other person was a tall panda man, wearing a bamboo hat and a black and white long gown. He rolled up his sleeves and carried a bamboo pole with a wine gourd hanging on it.

"Young man, I heard you are from Sand Harbor?"

The other person had a heavy accent and a somewhat strange tone.

But Zhang He did not dare to neglect.

"Hello, yes."

These are the Panda people. Not only are they citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven, they also own a Panda Autonomous Region in the Kingdom of Heaven, which is their country within a country.

Unlike other species of Light Na, Pandaren enjoy legal privileges in Heaven, including tax exemption and exemption from military service. Every Pandaren receives a large subsidy from Heaven every year.

They do not participate in any wars and do not need to work. All material supplies are provided by the empire, and the entire autonomous region is planted with their favorite bamboo.

Even if the Pandaren commit crimes, they will be sent back to the autonomous region to serve their sentences.

The Kingdom of Heaven has only one requirement for them: every panda must give birth to two children after adulthood to ensure the continuation of the group.

However, even with such a humble request, the Heavenly Kingdom almost begs them to give birth, but the pandas often fail to do so.

They are a very special group with a lofty and transcendent status.

Although he was not sure of the specific reasons, Zhang He knew that these were a group of Heavenly Kingdom nobles who should not be provoked.

"My name is Takutake."

The panda man introduced himself, "I heard there's a lot of food in Sand Harbor, fruits and so on?"

"We do produce delicious food there, because the chairman attaches great importance to food. We have grilled fish, fried chicken, dried sweet potatoes, peanut cakes, authentic jade soup... and volcanic melons and Dead Sea fruits, which are all specialties of our place."

Zhang He introduced the scenery of Shagang to it.

"Is it hot there? Is it cold?"

"Don't worry about that. When it's cold, we have the Goblet of Fire to keep you warm, and when it's hot, we have the refrigeration box to keep you cool. We are warm in the winter and cool in the summer, and that's something everyone knows."

The other party showed great interest: "Gust is right, it looks like a good place."

But soon, it seemed to sense something and looked up at the sky.

Zhang He raised his head, but saw nothing.

"Brother, when is the next flight to Feisha Port?"

"tomorrow morning."

"Okay, I'll be here tomorrow morning."

Tuozhu took out a purse and handed it to him: "This is 20 mushroom coppers. The more is considered to be your friend. I have never ridden this kind of aircraft, and I think it is very interesting."

"If I can't come tomorrow, please fly to Sand Harbor and visit Chairman Zhou Yi. Tell him that I must have been captured by the Citizens Department of the Kingdom of Heaven, and ask him to help get me out."

"For the following words, you can only tell him in person."

The panda man said seriously: "I can build a special building that can gather and summon energy life. If he can help me out, I will help him build it in Sand Harbor."

the next day.

The pandaren did not appear.

Zhang He knew something had happened, so he flew all the way to Shagang and then rushed to Emerald City without stopping.
