Interstellar Gardener Life

Chapter 182 Choosing a Residence ——————————————————

In the endless desert, the sandy soil is dry and grayish yellow.Drought and alkali-resistant trees are scattered here and there, and the lower floors are weeds and thorns.The dominant species here will carry out promotion methods such as spreading, so they are supported by the Mitai government, and the vegetation coverage rate is not low. At least three quarters of the places passing by the speeding car.But those are the guys with the strongest vitality, the soil is still the same soil, it is not possible to plant ordinary green trees by pulling it out, and it is even more difficult to grow crops.

The leaves of these vegetation are either degenerated into thorns, or they are waxy and shiny. Even the unkempt grass is green and vicissitudes of life, not as lush as in the urban area and campus.

Then, an oasis appeared in the field of vision.

The oasis embraces eight small lakes.The lake is like a handful of pearls, and the Verdu oasis covers an area of ​​nearly [-] square kilometers.

However, the part of the military academy in the oasis mainly consists of some surrounding facilities: a military welfare agency with various functions, including supermarkets and barber shops, and then the school hospital, faculty residences, etc.These and the residents living in the oasis form a small town, or a small town.

The Fifth Commander Academy itself, the teaching area and training area, covers an area of ​​about 410 square kilometers. Whether intentionally or not, it is placed on the edge of the oasis, with the main gate facing the desert!

...Finally, I haven't lost the oasis and ran to the desert.

……

The military academy is open to visit, as long as the visitors are not foreign soldiers.Even some areas of the student dormitory are open.So at this time in the afternoon, most of the passengers who came by the big flying car were sightseeing. After getting off the bus, they went straight to the tourist reception center of the military academy.There is a tourist bus with a tour guide and a route arranged.

Jiang Ling and Dongming didn't come for the visit today, so they got off the car leisurely and didn't go to the visitor center.Jiang Ling found a tourist map on the platform.As a result, Jiang Ling discovered the mystery after reading the schematic diagram: "The school was chosen in this kind of place, and the layout is like this...there is only a military school."

"The first few people who donated money to build the school requested such a layout-'In front of them, what they want to conquer is the desert and the enemy; behind them, what they want to protect is the oasis and Chia.' Later it continued down."

"The one who pays the most!" Jiang Ling teased, and walked off the platform; but she stopped suddenly, backed up, looked at the notice board above, and immediately turned to look at Dongming: "In addition to the speeding route, there are also Staff school bus?"

Dongming innocent: "Well, I've never been here..." But the corners of his lips curled up.Jiang Ling raised her eyebrows.Dongming rolled his eyelids and smiled. He glanced at Jiang Ling, pressed on Jiang Lingxu, and surrendered: "Well, I haven't been here, but I know there should be... I just think, would you It would be nice to send me here."

Jiang Ling was speechless, and immediately smiled, patted him, and whispered: "Do you wish there was no shuttle bus?"

Dongming didn't answer this question: "Actually, for a road of tens of kilometers, it's a big deal to make a big deal out of molehills."

This is rational denial and emotional acquiescence.So Jiang Ling was so happy that she pushed Dongming, hung on him, and headed for the school gate.

……

There is a guard on duty at the main gate.The two of them connected to the device in front of the device next to the sentry post, swiped their identities, and entered.

There are also small flying cars in the military academy, and Jiang Ling's student discount is also useful when visiting between schools.So Jiang Ling finally got his wish and swiped his card once.

There will be a lot of opportunities to get to know this place in the future, so this time, they just took a leisurely car ride, took a rough look along the road, passed through the campus, went to the “back” of the military academy, and looked at the teachers’ residences.

Faculty residences are similar to general communities, independent houses with gardens, and some with a mooring lawn—a flat grassland without trees and flowers.

The garden here is larger than the one in the interactive community, but it is still cramped for planting things. It’s okay for the saplings to be small, but they can’t be crowded when they are too big.And the house is a public house, not for sale, only for the teachers of the school to live in.It ceases to be provided as a benefit once the individual transfers.

This made Jiang Ling feel insecure.She doesn't want to be handed down forever, but at least enjoy it for life - what is mine is mine, not someone else's!

Dongming didn't care about that.But Jiang Ling didn't like it, so he changed it to something else; and in a blink of an eye, he found a big reason: "Actually, the soft environment here may not suit you."

Jiang Ling was confused: "Huh? Soft environment?"

Dongming nodded: "Those who can come here to be teachers, regardless of their special expertise, their income is enough for a family. Therefore, many family members only do part-time jobs and volunteer work. Their concerns are very different from yours. I am afraid that it is difficult for you to have any common topics. .”

Jiang Ling could understand, but didn't understand, so he nodded half-knowledge.

"Since we grow things, it would be better if the neighbors are also farms." Dongming himself knew it.That was the case between him, and Casey Cassing, and the general officers on the Lance.They also care about military rank and subsidies, but they can't value it that much.It is much different from the proud and satisfied sense of superiority that ordinary military officers have about their own welfare, and there is always an invisible layer between them.For example, the subsidy, he only remembers a rough estimate, and I'm afraid he may have missed a few small things... Others know it clearly, and it's accurate to single digits!

……

In the end, they just took a look around in front of the teacher's residence, then went to the small town deep in the oasis and asked about the local farms.

There are two types of Oasis Farms.One is within the oasis and the other is on the edge.The internal planting conditions are good, but relatively expensive, and there are many restrictions, such as not destroying certain vegetation on the farm.This article mainly restricts the cutting of trees and primary forest land.And the planting conditions on the edge of the oasis are not good, so of course it is cheap.

Local private farms are for sale.But there are more lands for sale—desert lands that are jointly supervised by the Chia government and the Mitai Starfield government and sold to private individuals.

The former is in the oasis and the edge of the oasis; the latter is cheaper, but it is all in the desert, and the closest to the oasis is also the outer edge.

The government sells this to encourage farmers to come here to change deserts and fertile land.Or the pasture forest is fine, depending on personal preference.

In Qi Ya, it is possible to turn deserts into fertile fields with technology, time, capital and equipment.But it is all done by the government. The burden of fiscal expenditure on the one hand is too great, and the efficiency of the two is difficult to maximize.So open, market-oriented, the government only guides, supports, supervises, subsidizes, and so on.Oh, and taxation...

The two went to the city hall of Fudu... Jiang Ling discovered that Fudu Oasis is really a city!The area under its jurisdiction is not smaller than that of Seren, but unfortunately the population is much smaller than that of Seren.

The two went to the city hall of Fudu to inquire about the land sale.

"The title deed?" Except for the historical souvenirs in the Bogu Museum, Jiang Ling had never seen this thing before, so he couldn't help but worship the virtual one first.

"Well..." Dongming had seen it before, so he didn't think it was a big deal.

Title deed means permanent use right.Those on the ground are divided into two categories: building houses and planting things, and those on the ground are mining rights.These three types can be purchased together, or only one type.The oasis does not sell mining rights under the ground, because that would destroy the oasis' groundwater source.

Buying a piece of desert outside the edge of the oasis, transforming it into an oasis, keeping it, or selling it, is fine.However, not everyone can be like the Xibai Research Institute, which has so much capital equipment, high technology, and the latest suitable varieties to support it.

But Jiang Ling has a secret!Of course, technology and variety must be used, but the most important thing is "White Mist"... Moreover, among the species brought by Lu Lin, Jiang Ling only has one "big promotion" among the fruits.The rest of the "big promotions" are in terms of crops.

So Jiang Ling's heart skipped a beat.

*********
Going to school in Chia is very easy in terms of distance.Not only because of the flying car, but also because most of the theoretical courses are directly offered on the star network.Of course, students can also go to school, but it is also carried out on the star network.The advantage is that after class, you can communicate with teachers and classmates for a while, and then have a light meal or something.Socialize.Networks are wealth wherever they are.

Technology has reached this point, and there is no hindrance to communication on the Starnet or off the Starnet.However, due to the relationship between the equipment and the venue, the experimental practice class cannot be taken at home.But places like military academies are different in nature.It is under military administration, so students must live on campus.

Finally, there are some free elective supplementary courses, which are designed to lure students to school... such as ballroom dancing, that is not virtual dancing.For example, the basics of photography, that is always pulled out to collect folk songs.Anyway, um, the promotion of meeting young people is socializing!
Therefore, Jiang Ling does not have to go to school every day; however, Dongming has to come to the military academy every day.So, the two of them lived on the side of the oasis, and overall, it would save trouble.

……

And the municipal government of Fudu is very enthusiastic about those who buy desert land and use it for farming.As for the evidence, it is clear and alive - there are special staff responsible for this matter.

The person who received the two of them was a burly and rugged middle-aged man named Tang Gu.

Tang Gu raised his hands and feet with an obvious tough, military style.But for some reason, although he was warm and considerate in the hospitality, he didn't like Dongming and Jiang Ling very much—it was fine for Dongming; but Jiang Ling had an intuition that Tang Gu hated her a little. 【※】

Jiang Ling didn't care about this, and didn't show it: she would be loved by Dongming, chased by Tilun, and naturally hated by others, such as Ni Qi and Tang Gu, everyone likes it...how fair it is !
In addition, she, Jiang Ling, is wearing a translator and travel sunglasses pushed on top of her head, which can be seen by everyone, but it is always a little inconvenient to be a stranger in a foreign land.

……

Since the military academy is on the east side of the Fudu oasis, facing the direction of the sunrise, after Tang Gu pulled out the map, Jiang Ling immediately went to see the land for sale on the east side of the oasis—she naturally wanted one close to the school.

Tang Gu said hello to this a few times.But he was not sincere, because Jiang Ling didn't ask his opinion much.

However, Dongming checked the weather data, and after a short while, he shook his head: "The east side is not good. The climate here, from November to March of the next year, sometimes there are strong winds, all from the northeast, They come from the east. If you want to grow something, it will be better if there is an oasis of woodland to block it."
