People are on the Ark, assisting Oma Zi-O

She lives not far from the city hall building, right next to it.

Although it is called a residence, it is rather simple and there is nothing in the living room. The sofa is the most valuable thing in the living room.

The same is true in the bedroom: a desk, a bed, a lamp, a small bookshelf, oh, and a small clock hanging on the wall. That's all there is in the bedroom.

Sitting on the chair, I watched as the time quietly passed by ten o'clock. Normally, I should be sleeping, but...

Can't sleep at all.

The imagination just now had left a trace in her mind. Now in this quiet and deserted environment at night, that trace quietly occupied Tallulah's entire mind.

So annoying.

Tallulah supported her cheek. Her recent good diet had caused her to gain some weight. Her originally thin face now had some flesh. When she supported her face with her palm, she could see two small lumps of flesh on her face.

After leaning on it for a while, Tallulah leaned weakly on the table. The thing in her pocket suddenly hit her waist, making her frown. She took out the Drake pilot watch head that she was most familiar with.

"Really? It's fine that Fang Zhou bullied me, but why did you, a little watch, bully me too?"

Pursing her lips, Tallulah could feel that her mood was quite wrong. Although the old thing Black Snake had been removed from her mind by Fang Zhou and herself a long time ago, she now began to suspect that the old bitch was still playing tricks in her mind.

Yes, black snake.

The black and purple driving watch head was taken out from the drawer, and Tallulah looked at it with disgust.

I have never used it since I got it, but I saw that the alien black snake that Noah used seemed to be quite easy to use. I don’t know what the ability of this watch to control the head is.

However, the psychological trauma of Kosciuszko still made it difficult for Tallulah to accept using the power of her "adoptive father" who had ulterior motives from the beginning to the end.

"Ahhh, don't think about it anymore. Let's go to sleep. When I sleep, I won't have any random thoughts."

Tallulah shook her head in despair, then threw herself directly onto the bed, without washing her face or taking off her clothes, and simply covered herself with the quilt and went to sleep!

However, it was not until Tallulah tossed and turned for more than ten minutes and finally fell asleep that she understood what it meant to dream about something during the day.

Snow-white church, red roses, pure wedding dress...

Wait, who got married? I got married? To whom?

In the dream, Tallulah looked around in confusion until she heard a call from behind and then turned around.

"Hmm? [Beautiful Ursus swear words], Zhou!"

Chapter 271 Leave Everything to Time

“Ah ...

"Tallulah? Didn't you sleep well last night?"

Tallulah, who had just sat down in the office chair, yawned loudly, causing Alina, who was sitting next to her, to blink in confusion.

"No...I didn't sleep well...Yeah, sort of."

I really didn’t sleep well. Seriously, that dream…

Tallulah recalled the dream she had last night with a somewhat dejected look on her face. How could she have dreamed of… How could she have dreamed of such a scene? And… it was so real!

They say you dream about something during the day, but yours was too fast. I spent less than 20 minutes thinking about that thing, so how could I dream about it? And...

woo-

Tallulah slammed her head on the table with a bang. The loud noise scared Alina. Seeing that Tallulah was obviously abnormal, Alina held her forehead.

"You... forget it. How about taking a day off today? Give yourself a day off?"

Tallulah raised her head slightly, and the red mark on her smooth forehead was particularly obvious, but even more obvious was the cracked table.

Alina remembered that the table seemed to have been replaced by the former mayor of Chernobyl, Baron Boris. It was made of hard black walnut, and one headshot could have broken it... Tallulah, you really are...

That table is said to be worth over 100,000 Chervens, which is a very expensive item for the current Integration Movement.

"Holiday? Uh-huh, no need?"

Tallulah shook her head slightly, took a few deep breaths, and adjusted her state.

"Now is not the time to take a vacation. There are still many things to do, so we can't slack off easily."

Throwing aside the random thoughts in her mind, Tallulah forced herself to calm down and began to deal with the work that had not been completed yesterday.

After establishing the city, the paperwork that Talulah needed to handle was obviously much more than before. Even with the assistance of Alina and Sergei and other Reunion clerks who were being trained, it was still a huge burden.

Because it's not just the paperwork that needs to be dealt with now; there are also a host of considerations and decisions for the future that need to be made.

"Regarding the mobilization for the start of the Xumagia factory... Alina, have someone ask people to consult with the current population. The main thing is to see how enthusiastic they are about joining the factory. And remember to remind them that the Xumagia factory doesn't involve Originium production, so there's no need to worry about Originium contamination."

This is one of the most likely fastest and most complete collaborations between the Reunion Movement and Canaan City. The goal is to make Canaan a manufacturing plant for Rhodes Island Heavy Industries' Xumagia Industry, ensuring that wages and working hours are the same as those of normal workers, and even using the infected labor force of Canaan under the premise of having additional medical insurance due to mineral sickness.

Canaan has a ready-made factory, which is a small factory left over from the Chernobog period. As a core city, Canaan did not build large-scale factories during the Chernobog period. There was only a small factory located in the north of the city. At present, this factory has been transformed by the Xumagia engineering team into a factory that can be used to produce Xumagia, and construction can start on a date to be selected.

"Factory, this is our chance to build our own industrial system, Talulah. The opening of the Xumagia factory will not only stabilize the city's economy through the jobs provided by Rhodes Island, but the labor fees collected from the cooperation with Rhodes Island will also become the funds for our next development."

Develop the source stone vein near us, process the source stone minerals into source stone products and sell them to Longmen..."

"The processing of Originium products must use Xumagia. Citizens cannot be allowed to participate in that kind of work."

Tallulah tapped the table with the ballpoint pen in her hand, her eyes serious and unwavering.

"But we don't have that much Humagia, Tallulah. Most of the Humagia you purchased from Rhodes Island last time is currently being used for mining in the Originium veins. The remaining small amount is being used to build engineering machinery for the new plot with the Rhodes Island Humagia Engineering Team. I don't have any extra Humagia to use for Originium product processing."

Tallulah scratched her head. She was now trapped in a vicious circle: "There are always enough workers, but there is always work to do."

"Don't even think about borrowing from Longmen again. The last time you spoke with Governor Wei Yanwu, you borrowed over 10 million Longmen coins from Longmen Bank. Now we can't even repay that debt. If we borrow more and inflate our external debt, even if we establish our industrial system by then, we'll still face a dire debt crisis. From a future development perspective, the idea of ​​borrowing from Longmen again to purchase the Xiumagia Engineering Team is absolutely unfeasible."

Before Tallulah could bring out the plan they had implemented last time, Alina blocked her mouth, causing her to bang her head on the table in frustration.

"Knock knock knock."

"Come in... Noah? And the Ark!"

The knock on the door interrupted Tallulah and Alina's thoughts, making them focus on the office door. After gently inviting them in, the scene of Noah and Fang Zhou pushing the door in together made Tallulah's eyes flash with panic.

Especially when seeing the Ark.

"Why do you react so strongly to me?"

Ark did not wear a helmet this time, or it could be said that he has been wearing a helmet less and less now. During the internal meetings of Rhodes Island, he also appeared without a helmet several times, and several elite operators really couldn't recognize him at that time.

When she saw Fang Ark's tough and handsome face without a helmet, Tallulah blushed slightly.

"stare……"

Alina looked at the Ark standing behind Noah, then looked at her best friend beside her. A sly smile flashed across her face, and she felt as if she had grasped some big secret.

"Nothing, nothing, just a little surprise... Is there something going on with you today? Why are you here?"

Tallulah waved her hands in a panic, trying to hide her confusion, but her anxious and incoherent language and movements clearly told everyone around her that she was lying.

Something has been wrong since yesterday, so I'd better talk about it first.

"Actually, I came here mainly to send this guy back. I ran into him yesterday on my way back and took him to Rhodes Island... We exchanged a few words, and it turns out this guy can't drink much. He's not to the point of being knocked out by one drink, but he's not much better either.

After our chat, he was basically half asleep, so I simply let him spend the night in Rhodes Island. I'll bring him back today and hand him over to you face to face to save you from worrying."

"I just wasn't prepared this time. Next time I won't be like yesterday..."

"Yes, yes, I understand."

Looking at Fang Zhou's annoying face and smile, and his combo of moves that said "I understand, stop talking, I admit you are stronger", Noah couldn't help but want to punch him.

"Just now, when Noah and I were at the door, we overheard the conversation between you and Alina. If you're worried about not having enough engineers at Xiumagia..."

"Wait wait wait wait!"

However, before Fang Ark could finish, Tallulah hurriedly stopped him from continuing.

"?"

"Ark, you and Rhodes Island have already helped us enough. If you still want to give us the use of Xumagia for free, we will be owed too much and it will make us feel uneasy."

Fang Zhou pondered.

Indeed, from an outside perspective, the current relationship between the entire movement and Rhodes Island is indeed one where Rhodes Island is unilaterally making contributions, helping the integrated movement develop and grow, and even spending effort to help them build new mobile plots.

Although the cooperation indicated that these assistances were free or had some conditions, for example, Rhode Island would enjoy extremely preferential policies on the newly built mobile plots, such as land transfer fee exemptions, rental fee discounts, corporate income tax and other tax exemptions, which were basically full.

But if it were just these benefits, compared to the help that Ark and Rhodes Island gave to the Reunion Movement, Tallulah still felt that she could not repay it.

So when Ark wanted to continue to provide more help, Tallulah's first thought was to refuse.

Having already benefited from the other party's attitude, if she continued like this, Tallulah would feel shameless.

Sometimes, even when handling these paperwork, Talulah would worry about how to repay Ark and Rhodes Island for their help in the Integration Movement?

As she thought about it, she thought of the association she had yesterday, and then some things that shouldn't have appeared in her mind appeared.

"Um……"

"Okay, okay, but Tallulah, sometimes it's useless to hold on. It will only drag yourself and the things around you into an even more difficult quagmire.

Fortunately, there's no need to rush. As a newly infected person, Canaan still has plenty of time. Once Ursus's testing is complete, the thoughtful cities will likely respond to Canaan's trade requests. Trade activities with Xumagia can also begin at this time. By then, as a city in Ursus, each with its own unique products, Canaan's situation will improve.

Tallulah nodded.

The development of a city like this cannot be rushed. Each step needs to be carried out slowly after it is planned, allowing time to push it forward. Some business plans and development strategies may even take several years to become a reality.

Even the new mobile plot that is currently being built will take at least a month and a half to complete under the condition of complete construction machinery.

This is already the fastest speed on the entire Terra continent. Currently, the company with the most experience in mobile plot construction on the Terra continent is Meshko Industries in Casimir. The current limit of their mobile plot construction speed is to build the basic infrastructure of eight mobile plots a year, that is, eight mobile plots including the power layer and its related basic equipment support layer and its related configuration, as well as the most important underground living layer and its corresponding space infrastructure.

As for the ground of the living area, it remains in a relatively original state, in other words, it is a blank slate.

It will take one year to build the infrastructure of eight mobile plots. As for what these mobile plots will be used for and the buildings on them, such as residential houses and commercial centers, they will have to be built at another time.

Meanwhile, Ark is currently constructing a large-scale industrial machinery platform for the mobile plot, which will take another half a month. After that, the new mobile plot required by Canaan can be built in about two months, including the ground facilities of the living floor of this mobile plot. In other words, it will take two months to completely complete the construction of this mobile plot. I believe that after two and a half months, Rhodes Island Heavy Industries will completely become famous on the Taro continent with this achievement.

If the Terra continent at that time would still be shocked by such news.

"Leave everything to time. Your anxiety here is just creating unnecessary trouble for yourself."

Leave everything to time, maybe.

Tallulah looked back at the view outside the office window.

It was already morning, the sun had completely awakened the city, and the infected on the streets had begun their new day one after another. During this period, the work of all of them was basically the same. Except for the combat teams and those who took care of the farmland on the agricultural plots, most of the rest followed the operators and Humagears from Rhodes Island to transform the city.

As the former city center, Canaan does not have some basic urban production sites, so the current integration movement and the infected are planning to transform some buildings into more basic urban production facilities. The most basic ones at present are the transformation of basic production sites such as food processing, textiles and clothing, and furniture manufacturing.

At present, most of these have been done. Under the herd effect, most of the infected people are very enthusiastic about the transformation plan of the new city. After all, this is their future home. They will not be hunted by the infected investigation team, nor will they be discriminated against by the people around them.

We are all brothers and sisters, and all of us are a closely connected community. What can better inspire people's enthusiasm for production activities than such a community?

"What did you talk about last night?"

Tallulah suddenly turned the topic to Noah and Fang Zhou, and when Noah heard Tallulah asking about this, his eyes immediately became a little complicated, and Fang Zhou next to him had the same expression and gently patted Noah's shoulder.

"It's okay. You have the chance to change now, don't you? Both Amiya and Talora firmly believe that the future will change, and we are working hard to do so. There's no need to put too much pressure on yourself, child.

Believe in Tallulah, believe in Amiya, or believe in me. The most important thing is to believe in yourself. If you return to this moment and work hard for your goal, then this world... this land will definitely respond to you."

Noah looked at Fang Zhou with a complicated expression, looked at the other person's face, then nodded and left the room silently.

"It seems like you guys talked about some pretty heavy stuff yesterday."

"Yes."

Fang Zhou leaned against the wall, a complicated look flashed in his eyes, and his thoughts returned to last night.

Chapter 272: Why are you pulling my hair?

Time goes back to last night, when Ark was just about to return to Rhodes Island.

Looking at Tallulah's fleeing back, Fang Ark shook his head helplessly and was about to take out the portal to return to Rhodes Island, but as soon as he put his hand into his pocket, he paused.

Someone nearby is watching him.

This feeling... turns out to be our little red dragon.

There are only two red dragons in Canaan today, one is the present red dragon, and the other is the future red dragon.

And now the red dragon of this era just fled before the Ark, so who could be the red dragon that is now spying on the Ark? Oh, it's so hard to guess.

As he thought this, the Ark disappeared from the spot the next second.

The person who was secretly spying on the Ark was startled and just as he was about to leave his hiding place, he felt a big hand patting his shoulder.

"Hey, kid, what are you looking at here?"

He turned around with a stiff neck and saw Fang Zhou standing behind him, looking at him with a kind smile.
