Section 15 The Beginning of Immigration(1/2)

On May 21, 2029, on the first anniversary of the invasion of another world in Beijing, given that this already sensational gate to another world is unlikely to remain confidential, the UN Security Council finally released the "Anti-World Investigation Report", and the five permanent members officially recognized the fact that mankind discovered another world from the perspective of the government for the first time. Although this fact was a public secret, it was the first time that the governments of major countries unanimously admitted it, which immediately caused a huge sensation. It completely overshadowed the news that the Indian army was taking steps forward under the leadership of General Summit and began to counterattack South India.

Immediately afterwards, the Chinese government also officially announced the "Name and Basic Overview Notice of Taoyuan Star". Of course, on the basis of deliberately ignoring the time of the gate closure, it just used one sentence: "...The technology of the gantry far exceeds our cognition. With current technology, we cannot know whether this gate has always existed or when it will suddenly close. This risk must be taken..."

Of course, the Taoyuan Star development plan was announced immediately, and it began to attract immigrants, calling on students to go to Taoyuan Star to develop their future, and welcome those who are interested to go there to settle there. Then, within 24 hours, the website for online application announced that due to too many applicants, the website was paralyzed.

After all, foreigners who frequently appear in smuggling to come to China to try to go to another world, as well as the "investigation" of the princes of the Middle East and later sent investment funds to "build temples in another world", and the grand design of the Tianqi Da QZ Temple, which directly aroused the central government's alertness.

China is not afraid of the threat of force from all countries in the world, but this soft knife is still a headache. In order to ensure the national dominance of Taoyuan Star, China has to be forced to start immigration in advance without the infrastructure being improved.

Immigration to a new planet is also a new attempt and challenge. Just as humans cannot live on Earth forever, future immigration to other planets will not only face technical problems. Just allowing people to voluntarily leave their homes where they have lived for generations and embark on another land to start a new life, it is not that simple. Arrangement of employment for these people and re-establishing society is an epic and difficult task.

Fortunately, there are always some people in humans who are born with adventure genes, and they can explode with just a little gimmick. Just like the "Mars One" plan that has been tinkering for more than 10 years but still cannot be implemented. A clear plan that tells you that there is a plan that will not return can also attract 200,000 people around the world to register online.

And that was a peaceful period. What happened in the past few months has really made humans feel that the chaos and uncertainty of the earth have intensified. From the outbreak of the Resident Evil in India to the marchs in Europe and the United States, to the willingness to demand their own governments to declare war on China to seize Beijing, this peaceful world has caused great waves. In addition, when the gate first appeared, the United States increased its troops in Asia, sent aircraft carrier formations into the South China Sea, NATO strengthened its military strength in Eastern Europe, Chinese and Russian troops increased their combat readiness levels, wars in the Middle East continued, etc., making the world look like a crisis full of dangers and an imminent breakout.

It is obvious that the other world is a very safe place. Whether it is a nuclear explosion or a Resident Evil, blocking that gate should not be difficult. It is not a desolate place like Mars, but an undeveloped place with a complete ecosystem. With a new development of the country, countless new opportunities have led to the recent foreigners who have basically visited this gate. With foreigners as role models, they immediately attracted the attention of many Chinese people and began to fascinate - anyway, they come and go freely, and if they don't make a good fortune, they can come back. This is the immigration outline announced by the government, as long as the gate is not closed. However, in the eyes of ordinary people, this gate has been opened for a year and the country has invested so much. In theory, it may be permanent.

It is not just the residents on the earth who are considering immigration, but on the other side of the dragon gate, many people are also making choices.

Taoyuan Xinglongshan Base

Major Zhao Yi returned to the Longmen protective cover at the Longshan base with great emotion. He still remembered that more than a year ago, he was left in another world after he came out to save people and could not go home.

For a while, he even had a dream every day, and the door disappeared, and he could never go back. Even though the work here made him feel very accomplished, even though he was promoted to major early and became an officer in the embassy in the Empire at a young age, he still missed his parents and relatives who remained on earth. The only explanation these relatives got was that he was carrying out confidential tasks, so he could not contact his family. After one year, he didn't even know his life or death.

Of course, he still has two powers. After working in Taoyuan Star for a year, as a reward for work in special areas, he has the right to ask to be transferred to other troops or even civilian positions in the agency, and he can find a position that can be comfortable and stable to work in a job or retirement, and he will never have to return to another world. He can also let his family come with the army as a military family like some comrades applied to accompany the army. Of course, such a result means that he will always settle in Taoyuan Star.

Although it was a little late, his own family leave could still allow him to leave the embassy in the imperial capital. After handing over his work to Captain Cui Wei, he took a regular airship and returned to Longshan base, preparing to return to Beijing on the other side of Longmen. However, along the way, he was really thinking and repeatedly weighed the gains and losses between the two. Although almost all of his comrades who knew returned to Beijing for vacation, they returned to Taoyuanxing to continue working, and many of them brought their own families with them, I believe that everyone still has difficulty making a decision in their hearts.

At the Longshan base, there are crowds of people in front of Longmen. A large number of new immigrants from China are gathering here through the gate. These people and the families of workers, scholars, and soldiers who work here have the right to settle down first compared to the new immigrants who are coming, although most of them are just about living here and seeing it. The Chinese government allows anyone who settles here to return to the earth at will, as long as the gate is still there.

The square in front of the Longmen was filled with people, and there were loud shouts everywhere like the train station:

"The Construction Department gathers here."

"The excavation team is here."

“The Biological Institute is here.”

"The Academy of Agricultural Sciences gathers here."

A group of receptionists held signs and shouted and guided the families to line up in front of the signs. Most of them were women and children, as well as a few elderly and young people, with joyful smiles on their faces.

The last team holding the sign was a bit different, with "new immigrants" written there. Most of the people here were strong or middle-aged men, and there were even a few foreigners. After carefully examining the foreigners who were trying to enter another world, the Chinese government found that although most of them were foreign "Luther", there were actually a few good technical workers with relatively good skills and even in China. Most of them were caused by the fact that their professional skills could not be found in the United States after the original industry was squeezed out by China. So after a strict background check, a small number of top students were arranged to come to Taoyuanxing to do technical work after intensively studying Chinese for a month.

Seeing this crowded scene, Zhao Yi was also shocked. He originally thought that few people would be willing to immigrate here, but he didn't expect that this has become a big gimmick now, attracting so many people, and then a familiar figure came into his eyes.

"Mr. Li!" Zhao Yi will not forget this Taiwanese tourist who caused his troops to rush in to rescue people. After all, he was the most special among a group of rescued citizens, and he shook hands with whom he met.

The middle-aged man in his 40s held his glasses and shouted excitedly:

"People's Liberation Army Chief!"

After saying that, he hurriedly ran up, held Zhao Yi's hand tightly, and was so excited that he almost burst into tears:

"I've seen you again, benefactor!"

Zhao Yi hurriedly waved at the two soldiers holding guns and preparing to rush up, and then looked at the queue Mr. Li was lined up, the one with the words "New Immigration".

"Mr. Li, aren't you going back? Why are you coming back?"

"It's hard to describe it." Mr. Li smiled bitterly: "I've been cheated by you. Everyone says that you mainlanders have many conspiracies."

"Are we cheated?" Zhao Yi showed an inexplicable expression and the two sat down on the bench next to him.

"Since you rescued that day, your government has been observing it for a full month using the excuse of being attacked by microorganisms. Seeing the mainland citizens in the same ward leaving one by one, I couldn't leave, which made me afraid that I would be silenced every day. Every day when I sleep, I worry that someone would come over in the middle of the night and shoot me in the head."

"Don't worry about this, we usually don't kill people easily."

"How can I know? This is my first trip to the mainland. I encountered this. You must know that we have always believed that the law enforcement agencies in the mainland are all murderous devils." Mr. Li sighed: "I have started to write suicide notes secretly to keep them for my wife and children. I have prepared a slogan of chanting the Three Principles of the People on the execution ground. As a result, you actually let me go and found someone who looks like a leader to talk to me briefly, so that I don't have to worry, just go home and live a good life. There is no threat of 'If you dare to reveal it, kill your whole family', so I will be allowed to go back to Taiwan."

"Isn't this very good? You should thank us."

"I didn't feel it at that time, so I wanted to go home and reunite with my wife and children. I didn't realize it was your conspiracy. As a result, as soon as I got off the plane, I was taken away by the Military Intelligence Bureau. Another question was made. Then I realized how vicious your government was. You deliberately did not give me a ban order, so I kept talking about everything I saw and heard."

"First of all, this is definitely not a conspiracy. Secondly, I guess, they must think you are playing tricks on them." Zhao Yi couldn't help but laugh.

"Yes, at first they thought I was hypnotized, and then they used all means, including drugs, to let me tell the truth. After I insisted on telling the truth, they thought I was a well-trained spy from the National Security Bureau, or the Zhanhu Bureau sent me to fool them, and put me in waterboarding and other means to force me to say it. Then I had to make up a bunch of messy words about terrorists, and they saw that they were lying and continued to question it. Until the Americans were semi-public

He said there might be a different world there, so he reorganized my previous remarks and confirmed that I might not have lie, so he let me go. Unfortunately, I was imprisoned by them for two months, and I had all kinds of punishment methods, and I didn't even apologize. After I came out, I had been recuperating for more than a month before I gradually recovered and lost my work. You said how bad you have caused me. If you gave me a ban order and told me not to tell me, and I could make up a set of lies for me, maybe I could fool the Military Intelligence Bureau."

"No, then you should blame your Military Intelligence Bureau. What does it have to do with us? We saved you, helped you check your body and prevent your illness, and then sent you home. Then we are the culprits. What else is there?" Zhao Yi couldn't understand the other party's thinking.

"That's right." Mr. Li frowned: "Sorry, I'm used to it. In Taiwan, we usually blame the mainland for constipation, saying that this is TG's conspiracy."

"Then why did you come back in the end? And as far as I know, the approval of the National Time Travel Office should be quite harsh, so you came here?"

"Hey!" Mr. Li sighed: "Aren't you the ones you have?"

"Why is it our fault again?"

"After the French parliamentarian made the matter public, someone in Taiwan leaked the news, saying that I was rescued by the People's Liberation Army from other people, and then the news media began to report it."

"This is a fact!"

"It's different in Taiwan. Various media and reporters block you all day long, making you unable to work or live. And because you were rescued by the People's Liberation Army, I became a model of 'selling Taiwan'."

"What's wrong with 'selling Taiwan'?"

"I don't know? Anyway, according to the politically correct view of Taiwan, I should be captured by those Romans as slaves, and I refuse the rescue of the dictatorial army righteously. Of course, that's the idea of ​​those who have never been arrested. I am very grateful to be saved by you. It's a pity that you can't save every Taiwanese. According to your statement, 'The medicine cannot be stopped'."

"The people on your side have basically given up treatment. We will wait for you to continue to be so desperate that we can't land without landing." Zhao Yi said helplessly.

"Who said no, but your login may not be a bad thing. At least it can make those people's thinking more normal." Mr. Li sighed: "Anyway, after that, my reputation plummeted. I was criticized everywhere in Taiwan and said that I was "selling Taiwan" to flatter the People's Liberation Army, and my work was fired. My children were bullied at school. The family was very difficult. So I remembered your words - "If you don't leave me here, you will be there, and if you don't leave me everywhere, you will go to the Eighth Route Army." So I took my whole family back to the mainland with my family.

When I came, I got the news that I had opened immigration here as soon as I came back. Later I thought that this might be a destined thing, so I ran to Beijing to register for my whole family. They are all Chinese and don’t have to enjoy the difficulties of those foreigners. As a result, the interview with me was the leader I talked to me before I left the mainland. He sympathized with my experience. In addition, I was a good mechanical engineer in Taiwan, so after testing my skills and political review, I arranged for me to come as the first group of new immigrants."

"I didn't see your family." Zhao Yi looked around.

"It is not allowed to move all the family over. According to the regulations of your Time Travel Office, the applicant must go through a one-month probation period here before passing it can be allocated to the house and take the family and allocate their residence. During this period, Beijing will provide our family with low-rent housing." Mr. Li looked at Zhao Yi with some envy, who obviously already had the authority to take over his relatives.

"You have been able to pass the test of the time travel process and prove that you must be an excellent engineer. Why don't you find a job in Beijing? At least you don't have to separate from the two places first." Zhao Yi asked.

"There are many reasons." Mr. Li showed a longing smile: "For example, this is a blank space, but as long as you decide to develop it, it will sooner or later become a brand new world like Shenzhen. Those who went to Shenzhen first went to Shenzhen to explore, and then almost all the bosses with rich assets, and those who went there were workers. Moreover, when you see such a new world that has exceeded your cognition, will you still be willing to continue to limit your own vision and your understanding to the earth? I think that everyone who is lucky enough to witness this world will never forget everything you see here even if you return to your home. Compared to the step-by-step life there, the challenges here will be more attractive. Just like seamen, they risk their corpses every time they go to sea, but they will still risk going to sea. This is the curiosity and desire to take risks in their hearts. For me, this is probably the fate between me and this world."

"The new immigration team is ready to get on the train and set off." A shout made Mr. Li come to his senses, and he hurriedly said goodbye to Zhao Yi:

"Sir Zhao, I will have to take care of you in the future." After saying that, he handed over a business card of his past, then quickly returned to his team and followed the team toward the train station.

Zhao Yi looked at his back and silently walked to the dragon gate and started queuing up to participate in disinfection (the disinfection function of the dragon gate is still kept secret from most people). When he walked to the dragon gate, he turned around and looked at this new world and silently said a famous saying:

“IWILLBEBACK.”

At the same time, 270 kilometers north of Longshan base, the ice and snow-capped mountains area

The cold wind is raging. Although it has been May, it is still snowing all over the sky. The snow here does not melt all year round, dancing with the wind, turning everything white.

The huge polar excavator crazily smashed a piece of ice on the snowy mountain, making a dull sound, followed by a huge cracking sound - the excavation shovel finally couldn't withstand the continuous super hardness impact and cracked and deformed.

"China Davarich, this is the third one. Our accessories have been used up and there is not even a single ice slag. What is this thing? Is it absolutely zero? Even in Siberia and the Arctic, there are no such solid ice cubes." Russian workers asked in unskilled Chinese.

"I just invited you here if I don't know. We calculated that the surface temperature is only about minus 20 degrees Celsius. The problem is how can the ice surface of minus 20 degrees Celsius so difficult to dig? Okay, okay, let's come here today and report to the superiors. We can't dig the iceberg here. Everyone packs things and goes back." The Chinese leader ordered loudly. Several workers made marks at the place they dug and began to pack things in a hurry.

"You Chinese have money and have no place to spend it. This is the equipment you purchased yourself. It costs so much to dig these ore samples here. And even if the mineral resources are abundant here, your mining costs are too high." The Russian worker muttered, but he was also very happy to return to the base early to drink some unlimited vodka from the Chinese to warm up.

After a while of busy work, the huge mining team finally packed up their things and left here.

Less than half an hour after the mining team left, two large enclosed snow track cars drove over and stopped in front of the snow-capped mountains.

The two teams of soldiers holding guns jumped out of the car first and spread the alert around them. Then, Layla, who was wrapped in a plush toy, walked out of the car, and Lin Ling, who was dressed up, also got out of the car.

"Researcher Layla, I think this may be the snow mountain in the ice field that produces magic stones as you are saying." Professor Yuan Zhenglong said, looking at the huge snow mountain in front of him and the marks left behind.

"I don't know, this is just a legend, but in the past century, our magic stones have been predecessors of the inheritance, and no new magic stones have been added." Leila said with a shock when she looked at the snow mountain.

Several soldiers picked up engineer shovels and shoveled away the snow in the place where the markings were made. One of the ice-like mountains revealed. A soldier picked up an electronic thermometer and placed it on it, looking at the reading in surprise.

"Professor, the temperature of this thing is minus 20 degrees."

“What is the temperature outside here now?”

"Minety 20 degrees."

"Everyone retreated."

All the personnel hurriedly pushed away, leaving a large area of ​​space. The professor looked at a warrior, who immediately aimed at the ice cube with a flamethrower on his back and started to spray.

As the temperature rose, the snow around it melted and then turned into water on the ground. However, the ice-like thing was not moved, and there was no sign of melting. When the flame ejection stopped, the temperature around it had suddenly risen a lot, but the ice surface remained the same.

"Miss Layla, it seems that we have found the legendary magic stone origin, unless you can find another ice that can remain frozen under the flame of 3,000 degrees." Yuan Zhenglong looked at the towering snow-capped mountain. If the entire mountain was full of such magic stones, then the value of this mountain was immeasurable.

"I'll try it before I know." Layla took off her gloves tremblingly. Fortunately, the flamethrower raised the temperature nearby a lot, otherwise her hands would be frozen immediately.

"Be careful." Lin Ling reminded with concern.

Layla nodded, muttering something:

"May the goddess bless us with peace."

Then he carefully approached the magic stone crystal, reached out and touched it gently.

A white light suddenly came out from the magic stone that Leila's palm touched, making everyone unable to open their eyes. Leila suddenly found that his palm had actually "sinked" into the magic stone, and it seemed that there was some force pulling her in. In a blink of an eye, an arm had fallen into the magic stone.

"No." The two soldiers closest to her rushed up quickly, one hugged her waist, the other grabbed her arm and pulled out, and then two people jumped up, holding the first two soldiers tightly and dragging out. The dragging of the army quickly increased to 8 people, but Layla was dragging in at a speed visible to the naked eye. Half of her body had fallen into the magic stone, but Layla herself had no expression, as if something had taken away her soul.
To be continued...
