Chapter 249 Sand City ([-])

Peking International Airport.

A passenger plane of East Island Airlines landed slowly on the runway.

The passengers got off the plane one by one.

"Huh!" Ma Wu had just stepped out of the cabin, and the cold outside gave him a warning.

A tightly wrapped young man behind him breathed a sigh of relief: "Huh! Is this Beiping? It's so cold!"

"Let's go!" Song Ping, the team leader, smiled and greeted everyone to go outside the airport.

"understood."

"Peking, here I come!"

"It's the first time I've been to the mainland."

A group of young people hooked their shoulders and talked loudly.

They are students of the East Island Campus of United Universe University, and they are astronaut majors. There are a total of [-] students, as well as team leaders, instructors, and three teachers.

Instructor Zhou Libin frowned and coughed dryly: "Ahem! Pay attention to your image!"

A group of young people became quiet when they heard Zhou Libin's voice.

The weather in Beiping today is sunny, with only some thin snow on the ground.

Song Ping and Zhou Libin took a group of people to the gate of the airport, where two surging Lotus electric buses were already waiting for them in advance.

A group of people will arrive at the railway station by car, and then take the train to continue northward to Sangendalai in the former Hunshandake Sandy Land, which is now the capital of sand.

The bus slowly started to leave the airport.

In the car, a group of young people were talking in low voices.

Not all the astronauts in this professional class are natives of Dongdao. There are 17 students from the mainland, and the remaining 13 are natives of Dongdao. Among them is Ma Wu, who switched to astronaut major before.

But even if they are mainland students, most of them have never been to Beiping City.

Ma Wu looked at the enthusiastic Liao Qingsong, and asked curiously: "Qingsong, isn't your home in Luoyang? It's very close to Beiping City! Have you ever been to Beiping?"

"No! It's not easy for my family to support me to study. I don't have the money to travel to Peiping." Liao Qingsong said helplessly.

Ma Wu also knew more or less about Liao Qingsong's family background, the reason why Liao Qingsong changed his major from South China University of Technology to United Universe University, and also chose the astronaut major.

The main reason is that the astronaut major of United Universe University is free, and it also includes food and accommodation and an annual subsidy of 1.2 Martian coins. If you have excellent grades, you can also apply for a scholarship.

For those students from poor families, this is not a small temptation.

Of course, the astronaut profession is very hard, and it is not something ordinary people can bear.

"There are so many electric cars in the Mainland!"

"There are not many in Peiping, but there are more in my hometown, and almost all of them are electric cars."

"There are so many electric cars, it must be a waste of electricity, right? There are frequent power outages in Hsinchu and Taoyuan, how is your side?"

"Uh... see the ceiling above those street lamps!"

"What's the secret of these ceilings?"

"These roofs are all solar power generation films. This year, the total annual power generation in the mainland has reached more than 8 trillion kwh. The electricity of these electric vehicles is trivial." Liao Qingsong explained, pointing to the solar power generation films on the roof.

"More than 8 trillion kwh?" Ma Wu was very surprised. He opened the holographic bracelet and clicked on the star search.

"East Island should also have no shortage of electricity soon. After all, your big boss is Yinhe Technology, and these solar power generation films are their products."

"Damn! It's true!"

Liao Qingsong acted like you are rare and strange.

On the cold windy road, two surging Lotus electric buses arrived at the gate of the railway station.

The branch of Yinhe Technology in Beiping has already bought train tickets for them.

At the train station, they saw the flow of people during the Spring Festival travel season. It was a sea of ​​people. Fortunately, the branch had bought train tickets for them in advance. In addition, the popularity of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen has dropped in the past two years, so the train station is not so crowded.

The reason why the popularity of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen has declined is that on the one hand, the sudden emergence of Shanmei, the capital of science and technology, has diverted a lot of labor.

On the other hand, the promotion of rural cooperatives has allowed some migrant workers to return to their hometowns to start businesses or work, and some of the labor force has returned.

The emergence of this phenomenon also indicates that the domestic economy is moving towards a relatively balanced state, the attractiveness of large economic regions is declining, and the Matthew effect has also been weakened.

In January of this year, housing prices in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen experienced a slight dive. From the beginning of 2018 to the beginning of 2019, housing prices in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen have dropped by about 14-16%.

On the contrary, housing prices in those small counties have risen, but not by much.

In addition, the diversion and return of labor force has also led to an increase in wage levels, which is also the last choice of those companies.

The group companies under Galaxy Technology alone have attracted millions of laborers, and they are relatively high-end laborers.

After all, the treatment of Galaxy Technology is at least 30.00% higher than that of other companies in the same job position.

The most important thing is that there is housing allocation. Even in the Yinhe Technology branch or group company in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, those employees all have a housing quota. This is also the reason why Planet Group has a very large income and revenue, but the profit is very low.

In this way, if other companies do not improve the treatment of employees, they will really be unable to retain people.

After all, some bosses or entrepreneurs like to brag about their so-called dreams, but don't give them actual treatment.

Given a choice, these dream companies are absolutely impossible to keep.

on the train.

Looking at the scenery passing by outside the window, Ma Wu was surprised by the development of the mainland, which was completely different from the education they had received in the past twenty years.

A year and a half ago, he went to Mi Li's house in San Francisco as an exchange student. At that time, he was still complacent about being able to go to Mi Li's house.

Now that he came to the mainland, he realized that Dongtang's development was not inferior to that of Mi Li's family, and even surpassed it.

Dong Dao's sense of crisis and isolation is also reflected in Ma Wu, so they worship the strong and desire to be recognized.

And after the upheaval in the East Island, that sense of confusion also enveloped all the people in the East Island.

However, with the continuous and in-depth exchanges between the East Island and the mainland, especially the tolerance and understanding of the younger generation, this confusion is temporary, and time will dilute everything.

People like Ma Wu were the first to change their mentality, and they suddenly felt like they were back in a big family.

Thoughts are wandering, the train is still going forward like that.

As we get closer to Sangendala, the capital of sand, the scenery on both sides of the railway is also changing.

Rows of huge glass greenhouses and wind turbines come into view.

"Awesome!"

"I heard that this place used to be a desert. It's really unimaginable."

"The project to rebuild the Yellow River is no joke."

"Even if it is a desert, if tens of billions of cubic meters of fresh water are injected into it every year, it will turn into a forest."

"Rebuild the Yellow River and the oasis, dare to change the sun and the moon into a new sky."

Listening to the rhetoric of a group of students, Ma Wu suddenly felt a sense of pride.

"Isn't it particularly shocking! It's also the first time I've seen the magnificence of the capital of sand." Liao Qingsong bumped Ma Wu's arm.

"Yes! It's too shocking." Ma Wu replied with a smile.

As it gets closer and closer to the capital of sand, Sanggenda.

Outside the car window, there are not only huge glass greenhouses and wind turbines, but also some trees and shrubs and grasslands that have lost their leaves.

From time to time, there are some artificial lakes that are frozen, and these artificial lakes are used to improve the local climate.
