The Plane War Begins from Wandering Earth

Chapter 177 176. Is this heaven?
Several small countries under the control of the coalition government did not sit idly by and started their own "wall of life" construction plans.

The difference is that the construction of these countries and regions is all led by the coalition government.

In fact, even without the "Wall of Life" plan, the coalition government still has a lot of infrastructure work to advance.

The United Government forces that have entered the Pacific Rim are huge.

Hundreds of space battleships require supporting ground maintenance and services from maintenance facilities.

It is impossible for tens of millions of drone swarms to fly in the sky 24 hours a day. They also need to be charged and maintained.

In order to meet the needs of the main forces of the more than two million United Nations government forces in terms of "eating, drinking, defecating, urinating, sleeping", weapons, storage and maintenance of vehicles, etc., a large-scale infrastructure is also needed as a guarantee.

Thanks to years of preparation for plane wars, all logistical facilities of the United Government Army had already completed modular design.

As long as the United Government gives the order, a large-scale logistics supply corps will immediately enter the Pacific Rim plane.

However, the United Government did not do so. Instead, it handed over these basic manual tasks to countless refugees in the Pacific Rim.

As countries began to build their own "walls of life", the United Nations government also recruited nearly 10 million refugee workers through the "work-for-relief" method.

At first, the refugees in Southeast Asia did not trust this unfamiliar coalition government.

Under the threat of the powerful military force of the coalition government, officials of various countries dare not openly confront the coalition government.

But privately, they used various media channels to discredit the United Government and even spread the rumor that the space warships were powered by "human oil".

If you are tricked into the coalition government's territory, you will be captured and refined into human oil.

This extremely anti-intellectual speech is unusually popular in some underdeveloped regions.

The refugees would rather beg the border control officials in developed areas such as Sydney and Los Angeles, and even kneel down and kowtow, begging to be allowed to enter the country to work.

Nor do they want to believe that the coalition government will really come to bring hope to all the people in suffering as they say in their global declaration.

But there are too many refugees in the Pacific Rim region.

Those refugees who can barely save some money can buy a boat ticket and try their luck in developed countries.

However, most of the refugees, not to mention the money for the boat tickets, exchanged everything of value they had for food.

Most of them were in a situation where they were hungry and had insufficient food and clothing.

When a person is extremely hungry, he is more terrifying than the most crazy gambler.

Even if there is a glimmer of hope, they will treat it as the last straw and hold on to it tightly.

So when the "labor reception ships" sent by the United Government to various places appeared, ports around the Pacific Rim were immediately crowded with refugees.

The refugees crowded together frantically, fearing that they would miss the chance to board the ship.

Boatloads of refugees were sent to regions of the country controlled by the coalition government.

There is no reason for the PPDC member states to interfere, after all, the coalition government is recruiting workers in the name of "humanitarian aid."

If the coalition government does not take over these refugees, a considerable number of them will starve to death or die of disease.

The PPDC member states can only speak in a veiled manner, saying things like "We will continue to pay close attention to the follow-up situation of these refugees and hope that no humanitarian disaster will occur."

The coalition government ignored the official statements of these PPDC member states.

After a large number of refugees arrived at their destination, the newly established "Labor Bureau" of the United Government immediately carried out sanitary disinfection for them.

All the original clothes, luggage, and anything that might carry any germs or viruses were burned together.

Men's hair is shaved into a flat top, and if women want to keep long hair, they need to undergo thorough hair disinfection and cleaning.

After being cleaned, the refugees will also receive immunity-boosting vaccinations.

After a complicated disinfection ceremony, many refugees became terrified.

Because no matter how they looked at it, they felt something was wrong.

Barbed wire, armed guards, and everything we just experienced, it was so similar to the "concentration camps" in documentary movies of the last century!

Fortunately, the coalition government quickly assigned them labor tasks.

Each worker will receive a metal badge unique to them issued by the coalition government.

With these work badges, they can receive various engineering tasks from local officials controlled by the coalition government.

There are construction site handyman tasks that are purely heavy physical labor.

There are forklifts, cranes, and various construction machinery driving and maintenance tasks that require a certain level of technical skills.

There are even jobs that sound quite outrageous, such as maintenance of power facilities, waiters in the camp hotel, chefs of Southeast Asian specialties, bartenders in the camp bar, etc.

The coalition government not only needs to build the "Wall of Life", but also needs a large number of camp service industrial facilities to serve the coalition government forces. The various job requirements ensure that the vast majority of refugees can find jobs that suit them.

In return, refugee workers can obtain corresponding "joint government points" based on their own labor and the nature of their work.

When the refugees first saw this kind of "points reward", they thought it was another kind of "pie-in-the-sky operation" similar to that of the island country's officials.

But soon, they discovered that these "United Government Points" could be exchanged for a variety of goods in the camp stores.

Various fast foods such as rice, rice balls, bread, and pastries, as well as more expensive "meal vouchers", can even allow refugee workers to consume in restaurants and hotels within the camp.

However, what the refugee workers are most concerned about are not those fancy and expensive "freshly killed salmon without pollution on the same day", "10 meat and 3 vegetable spicy hot pot", "Michelin standard French meal"...

It is the cheapest "standard meal".

A "standard meal" includes three rectangular "energy blocks" that are rich in protein and can provide sufficient satiety for refugee workers who do heavy physical labor.

It also includes a 1.5-liter bottle of energy drink to replenish electrolytes and water lost during heavy physical labor.

In addition, a square-shaped, buttery "complex trace element supplement" was also provided to prevent malnutrition caused by the refugee workers' long-term monotonous diet. There are many flavors, including peach, watermelon, matcha, Mexican barbecue, and Orleans chicken sauce...

Eating with "energy blocks" can effectively improve the taste of food.

Most importantly, this is a "standard meal" that can perfectly supply a refugee who does heavy physical labor for a day's work.

It can be redeemed with just 10 "United Government Points".

A refugee worker performing heavy physical tasks is paid 8 points for an eight-hour workday, and an additional 100 points for each hour of overtime, with a maximum daily work hour limit of ten hours.

When the refugee workers saw the introduction of "supplementing trace elements" in the "standard meal", they were dumbfounded. Nowadays, the refugees would be thankful if their food could contain less deformed seafood.

Even Sydney and Los Angeles, which are recognized as "conscience areas" for refugees, have never been so considerate.

The coalition government, it really makes me cry.

Accommodation is provided in uniform modular engineered board rooms, free of charge.

Apart from food consumption, other points can be saved and exchanged for other goods in the store.

What other products are there?
Many refugees watched for more than an hour and were so dazzled that they didn't finish watching the film.

The United Government stuffed all the industrial products produced in the second plane into the inventory of goods in the camp store.

From various yachts and helicopters to armored tanks with their weapons removed.

As small as electronic watches, smart phones, bracelets, coffee machines, bread machines and so on.

The expensive industrial products, which often cost six or seven figures, are obviously not provided to the refugee workers, but to the United Government soldiers and officers stationed in the camps.

But this does not stop the refugee workers from fantasizing about the list of goods.

However, the refugees with more self-awareness focused most on the extensive list of medicines in the store.

The environmental pollution caused by the Kaiju has caused countless refugees, whose survival is at risk, to become infected with diseases.

In addition to food, the shortage of medicine is the main culprit for the deaths of refugees.

Under the highly integrated coalition government, the developed pharmaceutical industry will naturally not let these refugees from other dimensions down.

Many serious illnesses that are considered terminal in this plane can be easily cured with just a pill.

What surprised the refugees most was that the coalition government promised that all injuries and illnesses caused at work would be treated unconditionally and free of charge by the coalition government.

Even for injuries as severe as broken limbs, the United Government can restore the victim's body through the magical medical technology of "nanoworm medical solution".

“Oh my God!

Is this the heaven we are in?!"

After working for a day with some doubts, I tried the "energy block" with Mexican barbecue flavor and felt the chewy and nutritious "high-end food" between my lips and teeth.

The refugees were almost moved to tears.

And when they use the remaining points, they can easily redeem the medicines introduced in the store that can treat various difficult and complicated diseases, and then they really see the effect on themselves.

All the refugees exclaimed in disbelief and began to call the place controlled by the United Government a paradise.

There was no need for the United Government to mobilize anymore. All refugees in the areas controlled by the United Government took action on their own initiative and began to exchange their labor for points as rewards.

Zhou Qian, who has become a senior official in the second-level logistics management department of the United Government, feels very gratified about this.

At least the unsaleable products produced by the "energy block" factory she was in charge of were finally able to find a market before the expiration of the shelf life.
