I can find treasures in my dreams

The airport of Dongfang City is a full 40 kilometers away from the urban area.

This distance obviously leaves enough room for expansion for Dongfang City.

So in the future, the scale of this city will be quite large.

According to the information Anthony learned, the population planned by the people of Daxia for Dongfang City is said to be between 10 million and 15 million.

His first reaction to this number was doubt.

After all, the total population of many countries is more than 10 million. It seems too exaggerated to gather so many people in a city.

But after Anthony learned about the situation of Dongfang Daxia, all his doubts disappeared instantly.

Since the advent of the era of natural disasters, Daxia has become the only country in the world that has achieved positive population growth.

Although it has only increased by a few million, it is already very difficult.

Other countries in Canglan Star, including the Jameni Federation, are all experiencing a decrease in population without exception.

There is also an island country with a population of tens of thousands, which unfortunately suffered a disaster of sea poisonous mosquitoes, and all the people in the country died.

The number of countries whose population has decreased by more than half is conservatively estimated to be no less than ten, and even twenty is not impossible.

In the miserable situation of the whole world, Dongfang Daxia is definitely the only "pure land" on Canglan Star.

Before the era of superpowers.

There were 22 cities in Daxia with a population of more than 10 million.

After the advent of the era of superpowers.

Because Daxia implemented a very large super migration plan, the population of remote areas was migrated to several urban agglomerations on a large scale, and the number of cities with a population of more than 10 million reached an astonishing 48 at one stroke.

The total population of the above cities alone exceeded 800 million.

Anthony learned about Daxia's immigration plan in detail and was really shocked.

What made him speechless was that no media in the Western Hemisphere reported on this largest immigration plan in the history of Canglan Star.

If he had not been commissioned to come to Dongfang City, he would probably not know the feat accomplished by Daxia people.

Anthony felt that since Daxia people had the ability to build so many cities with a population of tens of millions, what was the difficulty in building another Dongfang City with a population of tens of millions in Shapudian?

"Buzz!"

Accompanied by a very slight vibration.

The electric bus drove smoothly along the wide road.

Due to the recent heavy snowfall, although the Daxia people regularly cleared the snow on the road, the road was still covered with a thin layer of snow.

For the sake of driving safety, the electric bus did not drive fast, with a speed of only about 40 kilometers per hour.

This means that it takes a full hour to get from the airport to the city.

Anthony carefully observed the road through the window glass and keenly noticed that this was a newly built highway.

It was a two-way eight-lane main road with a very high construction standard.

He immediately had a question in his mind: "It has only been more than a month since the establishment of Dongfang City. The Daxia people built such a highway so quickly. Isn't the speed too outrageous?"

Especially in the cold weather, the outdoor temperature at night hovered around minus 40 degrees, and it was almost impossible to carry out normal construction.

This question was quickly answered.

The passengers' discussions gave the answer.

"Daxia discovered a special limestone mine in Shapudian and developed a strong quick-drying cement that can withstand extremely low temperatures. Even at a low temperature of minus 80 degrees, it can be completely solidified within a day, and its hardness is far beyond that of ordinary cement. This Oriental Avenue from the airport to the city is the first time that this strong cement has been put into practical use."

"Cement seems to need to be added with water to make concrete. The weather is so cold that the water will freeze as soon as it is added. How can it be constructed?"

"The composition of this strong cement is different. I heard that it contains a special calcium ion, and water will not freeze after combining with it."

"What is calcium ion?"

"Have you never heard of calcium supplementation? The main component of all the bones in your body is calcium."

Anthony couldn't help but muttered in a low voice when he heard this: "Damn media!"

The strong cement that can be constructed at minus 80 degrees is definitely a miracle in the engineering world, and it is also a super weapon to fight against cold wave disasters.

If this invention was born in the Western Hemisphere, such as the Jamenian Federation or the Southern Cross Alliance, the media of various countries would definitely write about it.

But it was born in Daxia, and the media didn't mention it at all, as if the strong cement didn't exist at all.

What a shame!

Just then.

Anthony saw a few small black dots passing by the road not far away from the corner of his eye.

He quickly turned his head and took a look, only to find that they were several drones.

Other passengers also talked about it.

"Are those patrol drones?"

"Yes! Daxia people set up a drone patrol command center in Dongfang City, deploying more than 5,000 drones to patrol various locations in the city regularly. Dongfang Avenue is the main road, and drone groups patrol every half an hour."

"There are so many drones in a city. Dongfang City should be the safest place in the whole Shapudian."

"Daxia has stationed more than 100,000 troops in Shapudian and built eight military bases. Military bases are safer.

"Ordinary people are not allowed to approach the military base. For ordinary Shapudians, Dongfang City is the safest city. Since the arrival of the Daxia people, Dongfang City has become the city with the highest land price in Shapudian. Almost all the wealthy people in Shapudian are considering moving to Dongfang City!"

"Tsk tsk! The Daxia people are still very clever. They can harvest an astronomical amount of wealth from the Shapudians with just one city."

"How much money can the Shapudians have? The Daxia people may not be interested in this little money. They have established a pioneering alliance and have plundered a huge amount of wealth of more than one trillion Xia yuan in seat fees alone."

Anthony listened in silence.

In the era of natural disasters, his motherland, Yilait, became weaker and weaker, and ordinary people's lives became increasingly difficult.

Although it is still nominally known as an old developed country, more and more people are hungry.

The reason why he is willing to leave his motherland and go to Shapudian thousands of kilometers away is because it is becoming more and more difficult to get along in the country.

But Dongfang Daxia can go against the current and become stronger and stronger.

In contrast, how could he not sigh in his heart?

As the bus continued to move forward, Anthony noticed another thing, that there were more and more construction sites on both sides of the road.

Although the weather was freezing cold, many construction vehicles could still be seen working, and workers dressed tightly could be seen everywhere.

This scene gave people a sense of vitality.

Anthony couldn't help but sigh again.

Such scenes have not been seen in his homeland of Yilai for many years, and the infrastructure in various places has aged very seriously.

However, Daxia was still able to maintain such a large-scale infrastructure construction during the cold wave disaster.

The discussions of the passengers around him drifted into Anthony's ears again.

"Is that a residential building over there? It's really big. I think there are at least a hundred of them, but they're not very tall, like only six floors."

"It looks like there are six floors outside, but actually there are more than six floors. This is a semi-buried residential building designed by the people of Daxia to deal with the era of natural disasters. There are six floors above ground and six floors below ground, which adds up to twelve floors."

"Living underground is dark and damp? How could anyone be willing to live there?"

"Aren't the people of Daxia smarter than you? Now that the cold wave is raging, the temperature underground is much higher than the surface. Living underground is actually very warm, and it's safer underground. Many such residential buildings have been built in Daxia, and many people are rushing to live underground. If there is an emergency, the underground floor is the most suitable shelter."

Anthony nodded gently.

Before the era of natural disasters, many wealthy people spent huge sums of money to build shelters with complete facilities, all of which were located underground.

In terms of safety, the underground is indeed much higher than the ground, so the Daxia people are right.

Due to the fatigue of the long-distance flight and the sufficient heating in the bus, Anthony fell asleep unconsciously.

I don't know how long it took.

He felt someone tapping his shoulder a few times and woke up immediately.

Anthony didn't even open his eyes, and his first reaction was to reach out and touch the suitcase.

This is the instinct of every Elite.

The moment his fingertips touched the suitcase, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately!

The things were not lost!

Anthony opened his eyes, glanced out the window, and realized that the bus had arrived.

He turned his head and immediately saw the male passenger next to him, looking at him speechlessly.

The male passenger pointed out the window, and his tone was very subtle: "This is the Eastern City of the Daxia people. It is very safe here. You don't need to be so nervous."

Anthony smiled awkwardly: "Thank you!"

The male passenger nodded to him and turned to the front door of the bus.

Anthony still sat there without getting up.

He stared at the back of the male passenger and muttered in a low voice: "'The Eastern City of the Daxia people'?"

Judging from his appearance, the male passenger is most likely a Shapudian.

Dongfang City is obviously located on the land of Shapudian, but the native Shapudians think it is a city of Daxia people.

This is very interesting.

Anthony secretly thought: "So many Shapudians are eager to get Daxia nationality certificates and become real Daxia people?"

He enjoyed the warmth of the heater for more than ten seconds until there were only two people left in the bus, and then he stood up reluctantly and walked towards the door.

The moment he got off the bus.

"Woo~"

The cold wind whistled past.

Anthony shivered violently a few times.

He cursed and walked quickly to the exit of the parking lot.

Five minutes later.

Anthony finally understood why the male passenger said "This is the Dongfang City of Daxia people".

Because the streets and alleys here are full of signs with Daxia characters.

Only about half of the signs have Shapudian characters written in small characters below.

Anthony also found that although Dongfang City is a brand new city, the number of people here is far beyond his expectations.

About 70% of the faces he saw were Shapudians, 20% were Daxia people, and the rest were people from various countries.

He even saw several white faces.

But Anthony didn't have time to chat with them. He was very sleepy and planned to go directly to the hotel he booked.

Before the disaster era.

Booking a hotel anywhere in the world is a very simple thing, and it can be easily done with a mobile phone app.

After the disaster era.

This matter has become not that simple. Most hotels have gone "offline" due to various reasons.

Or the hotel simply went bankrupt, or there was a problem with the local network, or the platform was gone.

Fortunately, Dongfang City is controlled by Daxia, and Daxia has always maintained a fairly stable order. It is very convenient to book a hotel here.

soon.

Anthony hailed a taxi.

He had just sat in when he heard the driver ask: "Sir, do you have a Daxia National ID? If so, I'll get a 50% discount on taxi rides."

Anthony was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "I'm from Yi Lai, and I don't have a Daxia national certificate."

The driver said "Oh", stepped on the switch, and steered the vehicle forward.

Anthony's eyes flickered.

What he still doesn't understand is that this is the annoying "Great Xia Priority" again.

Ten minutes later.

The hotel arrived.

Anthony walked to the front desk and said, "I reserved a room."

The front desk immediately asked: "Do you have a Daxia National Certificate?"

Anthony asked curiously: "What are the benefits of the Daxia National Certificate?"

The front desk quickly said: "50% off on accommodation, 10% off on dining, and free food delivery to the room. If you don't have a Daxia national ID, there will be an additional charge for food delivery."

Anthony couldn't help but ask: "Why are there discounts for transportation, accommodation and Daxia National Certificate here? You obviously make less money."

The front desk seemed to have answered it more than once, and answered without thinking: "The accommodation fee is indeed less, but the official will give us a tax deduction, and there will also be naturalization points. If we accumulate enough points, we will be given a naturalization quota."

Anthony said to himself, "It's true."

He originally guessed that there was probably a complete system behind Daxia's priority strategy.

The words at the front desk confirmed his suspicion.

In this way, Daxia people systematically create a society where Daxia people are superior to others, thereby attracting more people to join Daxia.

When these people are working hard to get points for naturalization, their minds have been brainwashed bit by bit.

Anthony still has a doubt in his heart: "Daxia already has a population of 1.8 billion, do they still think there are few people?"

He couldn't understand it.

After entering the room.

Anthony put down his suitcase and prepared to go to the bathroom to take a shower.

He walked to the bathroom door and saw a piece of paper taped to the door with a few lines of words written on it:

"Due to high energy costs, hot water for bathing is provided free of charge for 10 minutes. Overtime will be charged an additional 2 Xia Yuan per minute.

"With the Daxia National Certificate, you can get 15 minutes of free hot water supply."

Anthony felt numb.

Why are Daxia national certificates everywhere? !

He turned on the faucet and felt the warmth brought by the hot water on his skin. For the first time, he felt the urge to get a Daxia National Certificate.

After all, the Daxia National Certificate has so many benefits, it’s really hard to resist wanting one.
