I am farming in the real world.

"Smuggling?"

Chen Jue showed a playful smile on his face as he listened to Tie Laoliu's words.

For a normal MC player, how can crossing the border between two countries by digging a tunnel be considered smuggling?
At most, he just turned into a temporary outlaw, played with the displacement and penetration in the game, and accidentally changed the map.

Besides, Blagoveshchensk, which is opposite HH City and is the capital of the current Amur Oblast of Greater Russia, is known as the third largest city in the Far East and was formerly called Khabarovsk.

Chen would never bring his passport with him. At most, he would visit his hometown without paying for the entrance fee.

-

Lock all the doors and windows inside and outside the temporarily rented homestay.

Chen Jue crawled down into the tunnel in the basement, took out the [Foundation] blocks he had just dug out and filled them back in. This way, he could achieve the effect of not letting anyone know.

Advancing along the U-shaped tunnel, Chen Jue touched the soil buried deep under the Heilongjiang River, and a look of surprise appeared on his face: "The soil under the ground is actually all black?"

"The Feng Shui treasure land in the Northeast is indeed fertile, it is simply a natural place for farming!"

Chen Jue exclaimed in amazement and walked forward with the torch in hand.

Tie Laoliu, who was in charge of digging the tunnel, was responsible for cleaning up the mess behind him. He made a "dong dong dong" sound and filled in all the blocks that had been dug out during the excavation.

The reason for such meticulous backfilling operations is that the tunnel they are currently in is right at the border between China and Russia.

You know, the more prosperous the border port is, the stricter the inspection on smuggling and illegal immigration will be.

Just like the border between the United States and Mexico, except for building high walls and barbed wire.

Those underground tunnels are also the focus of the U.S. border police. Anti-smuggling teams with detection equipment patrol the border every day.

Since this was the first time that Chen Jue was doing such a cross-border operation, he was also afraid of being accidentally discovered by high-tech detection methods, so he asked Tie Laoliu to dig the tunnel a little deeper. It would not be wrong to be cautious.

After completing the move, Chen Jue got on a Lada car rented from Maozi by Lao Shang. He first wandered around this small city with a population of only more than 20 and took in the local customs and culture.

Domestic tourists and businessmen crossing the river can be seen everywhere, and there are even school-age students from Heihe on the other side who take the ferry for more than ten minutes to go to school here.

"When I was in school, why didn't I think of studying abroad in Russia? There are many job opportunities for minor languages, and the cost of studying abroad is not expensive. There are also beautiful Russian girls everywhere, which is better than those Japanese teachers in my favorites and D drive!"

Chen Jue sighed in his heart after touring this big Russian city.

He felt that if he were ten years younger, he would definitely sign up to study abroad in Russia.

……

After touring the entire city with a critical attitude, Chen Jue took a car for almost half a day and arrived at an extremely remote logging site in the local suburbs.

As the third largest city in the Greater Russian Far East, Blagoveshchensk, located in the upper and middle reaches of the Heilongjiang River, has the most developed river port in the Far East.

As long as the cargo ships follow the water system all the way southeast, they can even easily turn into the Songhua River and the Ussuri River and reach large provincial capital cities like Harbin in the northeast region of China.

Even today, Blagoveshchensk's timber and scrap steel export business is very prosperous.

Because Great Russia is a well-known resource exporting country, their Far East has some of the best forestry resources in the world, accounting for more than 75% of Russia's vegetation area.

With the nourishment of this fertile black soil, no matter what you plant, it will grow exceptionally well.

Take the Amur Oblast where Blagoveshchensk is located. Its land area is comparable to that of a large province in China, but its population is only less than 80, and its forest resource reserves have reached a terrifying figure of 21 billion cubic meters.

Especially in the domestic environment where green mountains and clear waters are advocated and deforestation is strictly prohibited, better wooden furniture raw materials and papermaking materials are basically imported from forestry resource countries such as Russia, Japan, Africa and South America.

It just so happened that they had just signed a 20 billion yuan machine tool procurement contract with Shenyang Machine Tool Corporation, and they also owed several hundred million yuan in bank loans.

Chen Jue, who was a little short of money, asked Lao Shang, a profiteer villager, to take the initiative and try his luck in Blagoveshchensk.

For example, the failed logging site called "Sova Logging Mill" in front of us was a factory that was listed for sale and that Chen Jue had asked the businessman to find on the Russian Internet in advance when he was traveling in Heihe.

The place is run by an old Russian couple, who are very enthusiastic when they meet everyone.

Especially after hearing the old merchant speaking authentic rap Russian, the owner of the logging yard, Sergei, embraced him warmly, calling him "Davri" to get close to the wealthy buyers from the Eastern country. Because the Sova logging yard has been closed for more than a year, and the geographical location is a bit remote, the entire factory is built in a valley with dense forests, and the roads leading into the mountain have not been hardened, all of them are old-fashioned dirt roads.

With just a little rain and the passing of a large truck, the black mud on the dirt road becomes as thick as paste.

Not only is it difficult for people to move around, but even cars have a hard time passing through.

Given these geographical conditions, it is not easy to find a suitable successor, let alone recruit workers from outside.

Because working in a logging camp involves heavy physical labor and a harsh working environment, it is extremely easy to cause safety accidents when operating logging equipment or when large trees fall.

The wages offered in Russia are pitifully low. If you go to any logging site in the Far East, you will hardly see any local young people.

They were all Smecta laborers from North Korea with shining eyes, working miserably behind closed doors.

"Dear Davari! Your Russian is so good!"

"It sounds as good as the announcers on those Moscow TV stations." After Sergei greeted Lao Shang warmly, he led everyone to visit the logging yard.

After passing through a simple fence made of wooden strips, there is a metal warehouse where various old logging equipment are stored.

There are also several simple dormitories where loggers used to live. They are dirty and covered with dust and oil, and it is obvious that they have been abandoned for a long time.

Chen Jue had no intention of opening the treasure chest of the remains of this broken factory.

At this moment, he was looking at the endless steep mountains behind the iron warehouse with interest.

These mountains were so quiet that the occasional flying birds and chirping of insects could not cause any ripples.

The mountains are densely forested, and larch, birch, spruce and other common tree species in the Far East can be seen everywhere.

However, due to deforestation, a large area of ​​forests near the logging site has become bare.

When you get closer, you can see a lot of thick tree stumps that were cut down in the past.

The annual rings on the tree stump are as solid and dense as a roll of tissue paper, and you can tell at a glance that this is an old tree that has grown for more than a hundred years.

As for those saplings that were planted later, they were still in the growth stage. They were as thin as toothpicks and stuck between the tree stumps. They were not strong enough to be used as firewood, and they had no economic value at all.

“What a great place!”

Chen Jue took a deep breath. The natural scent mixed with forest and soil made him feel refreshed.

This kind of pure primeval forest without industrial and automobile exhaust pollution is very rare in the country.

Similar scenes can only be seen in the deep mountains and old forests of Wencheng, Wenzhou, which have been designated as nature reserves.

So he gave a satisfied look to the big-nosed villager next to him, who immediately nodded in understanding and began to rap with Sergei, the owner of this place.

Finally, he successfully contracted the 6000-year use rights of the logging site for a box of vodka and 20 million Russian rubles.

However, before signing the contract, the kind-hearted Sergei whispered: "Dear Davari, if you want to send workers into the mountains to cut trees, you must be careful! You cannot cross the red line of the nature protection area. You must cut down economic trees that are more than 10 years old below the red line. Otherwise, if you are discovered by the officials of the Forestry Bureau, you will be severely fined!"

Chen Jue nodded slightly when he heard Lao Shang's on-site translation, revealing a meaningful smile: "Don't worry, Uncle Sergey, we will definitely abide by the local rules! We will not cross the red line easily."

After everyone finished chatting, the old couple Sergei took their big noses to the local relevant departments to handle the relevant procedures.

Chen Jue and Tie Laoliu were left in the logging camp and hiked into the mountains along the mountain paths that had been trampled by the lumberjacks in the past.

As the sky gradually darkened, the light in the forest began to dim.

By the way, we used the drone we released to confirm that there were no suspicious people or power grids inside or outside the logging site.

Chen Jue walked to a newly planted birch tree, took out the "bone meal" from his backpack and poured it on the tree.

Along with a flash of green light, whoosh, the small tree in front of me, which was originally only more than 3 meters high, suddenly rose from the ground as if it had eaten golden clematis, and grew into a lush and leafy tree like the decades-old tree in the distant forest!
This scene made Chen Jue smile till his mouth stretched to his ears: "Haha! It's not the blocky tree in MC!"
