The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1759. ‘New life’ (Part 2)

Carl Kestis and Furman took a bus to a construction site on the outskirts of the city, where their job today is to continue erecting modular houses.

There are already several construction workers from the Principality of Dawn on site who are assigning tasks and distributing tools, and there are actually many construction robots here to assist them in their work.

Generally speaking, it’s just looking for trouble. Work that could have been done easily had to be done manually.

Carr, Furman and three other people were part of a makeshift team whose goal was to finish building the modular house before heading out for lunch. If you miss your meal at two o'clock in the afternoon at the latest, you will be hungry.

Furman is a big man, so he can carry a modular component by himself, and then install the component with the cooperation of a construction robot. On the other side, Karl Kestis was laboriously carrying an accessory with another person towards the stairs.

"It's so unlucky that I got a child today!" the man opposite complained.

Grouping is temporary, and sometimes there is a problem of being assigned to relatively weak teammates, which increases your workload. But this just depends on luck. Otherwise, if a few people get together and sign up at the same time, a fixed team can be formed.

"I'm sorry, I will try my best." Carl Kestis said sincerely.

He moved the things with all his strength, although if he had used the Force, the job would have been easier. But he couldn't take this risk, because no one knew whether he would be discovered if he used the Force rashly.

In other words, the chance of being discovered is very high. Because if someone uses the Force, a powerful Force user may sense it.

But the Duke of Dawn, Tang Xiao, who was constantly praised on the holographic projection, was a very powerful Sith Lord in his own right.

This is their work, and Karl Kestis also saw that this temporary city was built bit by bit by countless immigrants. Then when these immigrants went to other planets after their expiration period, new immigrants came and lived in the part of the city they had completed before, building new urban areas again and continuing to expand.

‘A very smart and efficient method. ’ Carl Kestis made a judgment on this method in his mind, ‘But at the same time, it is also an approach that does not treat people as people, but only as tools...’

"In my opinion, this kind of life is like being in a labor camp. Bantha shit..." The man opposite Karl was still complaining.

"Reeducation through labor?" Karl raised his head and asked.

"In prison!" The man glared at Karl angrily, "Otherwise, why do you think I came all the way to the Model Sector? Those hateful capitalists, hateful companies! They will use everything Ways to squeeze our value! Just like this!"

Karl was speechless, and he didn't know what to say. He just continued working in silence.

This modular house is a two-story small house with four rooms in total. It seems that the living conditions are better than the house that Carl and the others live in now. It is probably lived by immigrants with better conditions. Modular houses are easy to assemble. After all, all components are prefabricated, and all that is left is assembly.

With the help of the construction robot, Carl and the others completed the work around 1 p.m. The afternoon was a professional knowledge course. After having lunch, Carl and Furman said goodbye to each other and then returned home.

The courses arranged for each person are different, so all studies are done at home.

Turn on the holographic projector and enter the learning channel, and the pleasant electronic synthesized sound also sounds at the same time, [Dear worker, Mr. Carl Kestis, it is time for the daily professional class again. The Principality of Dawn will provide enough learning opportunities for every hard-working citizen to help you learn and improve. Only by mastering more professional knowledge can we build our homes better. 】

"Start studying." Carl Kestis sighed and said.

[Today’s lesson is about spacecraft structure. Since you are about to work for the United Mining Group, we will begin to learn the structure of the spacecraft commonly used by the group to facilitate future work. What we are going to learn today is the daily maintenance of the Stormtrooper-class mining frigate...]

Carl Kestis cheered up and started today's study.

He is indeed very interested in mechanical knowledge, and has done many such mechanical maintenance jobs before, so this kind of learning is naturally easy for him.

Even better, here he has access to a lot of knowledge that was previously unavailable in the Galactic Republic and the Jedi Order. Because the ship system of the Principality of Dawn is completely different from that of the Galactic Republic, they are almost two completely different things!

In fact, this is amazing, because even the Kuat Power Shipyard and even the separatist Free Dark Volunteer Engineering Corps, when these industrial enterprises build ships, their technologies actually come from the same origin. After all, they are descendants of the same civilization, so they have many things in common.

But things are different here in the Principality of Dawn, and even some basic technologies are different from those in the Galactic Republic. It is as if another completely different civilization developed on its own.

It is precisely because of this that Carl Kestis is full of interest in these courses.

It's a pity that these courses only teach how to repair and maintain the spacecraft, and they don't talk about the core technology of the spacecraft at all. The purpose of these courses is to turn people into complete tool people. They will only tell them what they need to do, but not why they should do it.

For example, after the engine is shut down, which places need to be checked, and where an alarm occurs, you need to go to that place to see if there is a short circuit, and so on.

The three-hour class is over, and then there is the test on today’s lecture content.

[...Please answer the connection method of the ore warehouse of the Stormtrooper-class mining frigate. A: U-shaped groove. B: Series slot. C: Wedge groove. D: Snap-in slot. 】

After completing 30 questions, Carl Kestis got 80% correct, and he was rewarded with an extra food stamp.

Dinner will not be served here unless you get food stamps after completing today's work, and then use the food stamps to buy food. The dinner is actually quite sumptuous, and if you have enough food stamps, you can even buy meat.

Carl Kestis, who was in a good mood, went to Furman's house. After the two chatted for a while, they went out for a meal together, and then returned to his house, ending this ordinary day.
