I have a space station

"It's hard to say. I heard a few days ago that it might be stopping soon," Lu Guyun deliberately said, keeping him in suspense.

Scarcity makes things valuable; this was forcing him to make a decision.

"Ah? Didn't you just say that there are two more sub-bases under construction?" Sun Zhuo panicked a little when he heard this.

"That's right, but it's still undecided whether those two bases will need to absorb population," Lu Guyun replied.

"…" Sun Zhuo was speechless.

"But don't worry, even if you don't need to transport people in the future, if Hulun City encounters any difficulties, tell me, and I will definitely help if I can!" Lu Guyun said with certainty.

"Brother Lu, that's not what I meant. I wanted to say, wanted to say…" Sun Zhuo stammered.

"What does Brother Sun want to say? Oh, look at my memory, you want to ask if I can help you connect with the Huatong Chamber of Commerce to build a branch here, right?" Lu Guyun patted his forehead and deliberately interrupted.

"…" Sun Zhuo.

"My fault, my fault, I forgot to reply to you. I asked about this matter for you, but I'm sorry, it's difficult," Lu Guyun shook his head.

"Your Hulun City is too remote. Think about it, the Huatong Chamber of Commerce is in the business of making money and needs to be profitable. If they come here to develop, they must have something to gain. Your place doesn't have the conditions to raise rats, so it's too difficult to develop," Lu Guyun shook his head.

Why doesn't Hulun City have the conditions to raise rats?

It's entirely because the place is too remote.

Raising rats requires feed, but relying on his small city alone, he definitely can't afford a harvesting aircraft. Without an aircraft, there is no feed, so there's no way to raise them. If you buy feed from other places, the distance is too far, the cost is too high, and it's not worth it. It's a vicious cycle.

"Brother Sun, if it really doesn't work, I'll give you Ice City. There are still many resettlement sites there, and you can cooperate together," Lu Guyun continued to play dumb.

This was whetting his appetite.

"Oh, Brother Lu, what I meant was to see if you could arrange for some of our Hulun City residents to be brought over!" Sun Zhuo said frankly.

Lu Guyun was delighted. He succeeded!

"Brother Sun, you're also planning to go over? This is easy! We're all brothers, this is just a word from me!" Lu Guyun said, patting his chest.

At this time, he should accept the offer when it's good and give Sun Zhuo enough face.

"How many people do you still have here? I'll make arrangements in advance to prepare food, clothing, and supplies for everyone. I'll guarantee everyone a comfortable journey!" Lu Guyun said.

The food, clothing, and other supplies are not lacking in the warehouses along the way.

But saying this could make Sun Zhuo feel that his choice was really the right one.

"Hey, hey, hey, that's not necessary. It's only a three-day journey at most, just endure it," Sun Zhuo said embarrassedly, quickly stopping him.

"How can that be? Beer, drinks, mineral water, peanuts, melon seeds, and eight-treasure porridge, these things must be prepared enough for everyone. Oh, right, also prepare some braised meat, bread, biscuits, instant noodles, and the like. Don't worry, Brother Sun, no matter how many people you have here, there will definitely be enough food and drink!" Lu Guyun performed vividly.

"Brother Lu, don't spend so much!" Sun Zhuo said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Hulun City still has 800,000 people. At this rate, he would be bankrupt in three days.

"No expense, no expense at all! This is just a snack, let everyone grind their teeth and pad their stomachs along the way. We'll have a big meal when we get there!"

"Brother Lu, this…" Sun Zhuo was very embarrassed.

Happiness came too quickly, and he hadn't prepared himself mentally.

"Alright, alright, I won't talk to you anymore. I'll go back and arrange things as soon as possible. I'll come and pick you up in a few days!" After saying that, Lu Guyun left happily.

Now that both sides had revealed their true intentions, Sun Zhuo also breathed a sigh of relief.

…

Ulan Neutral Zone, underground main base.

"Mr. Dongfang, after the people of Hulun City are also moved over, our population here will be close to three million. Can we stop absorbing population?" Lu Guyun asked.

"Yes, not bad. It's time to stop," Dongfang Chen nodded.

Now, more than two million people live together in Bato City, which is very lively.

It's currently the end of September, and the temperature is already a bit low.

The latest batch of people who have just moved over have not completely been assigned rooms and are temporarily living in tents on the ground.

Although there is no place to settle down temporarily, no one is causing trouble.

Because the food is really too good.

Every so often, people set up several large pots, boiling soup and stir-frying dishes, making free food for everyone.

Look at what's being stir-fried in the pot?

Large slices of meat stir-fried with cabbage!

Hey, paired with snow-white rice, it's just one word: delicious!

How many meals like this have ordinary people eaten in the past year?

Don't even mention eating it; they've almost forgotten the taste.

The master chef, shirtless, vigorously wields a large iron shovel, stir-frying the vegetables. People stand around him in three or four layers, quietly watching his performance.

There are many such stalls, so each stall can't handle too much traffic. To avoid stampedes and rushes, several people are specially assigned to distribute meal tickets and maintain order.
