Chapter 1316 - Distribution Point
At the same time that the Blue Star Global Joint Defense Committee was notified to prepare the first batch of personnel transfer list, Chen Fei set up a distribution point near the coastline of the sovereign desert peninsula. He spent a little money to rent this barren land. Apart from a large area of weathered rocky beach, there was almost nothing there. Not even grass grew. It was so barren that it was considered too good to be true. There wasn't even a bird's feather within a hundred miles.
Tens of thousands of acres of wasteland are rented for 1,000 yuan a month, excluding mineral exploration and development. Only the surface is included. You can plant crops, develop agriculture and animal husbandry, or build houses as you please. All activities are tax-free. The rent is so cheap that it's practically free.
However, in just a few days, countless tents were erected and dug into the ground outside the wall that was quickly built with prefabricated modules. A considerable number of people simply spread out a dirty blanket on the ground and slept directly in the open. The temperature difference between day and night is huge. It is unbearably hot during the day and freezing cold at night. So every night, the campfires are connected, like a dense cluster of will-o'-the-wisps.
This vast, life-bearing space, akin to a paradise untouched by the threat of the "Sagara" civilization, is rumored to be as beautiful as the Garden of Eden, attracting the attention of countless people.
The immense threat of the "Sagali" civilization directly invading Earth's home planet, coupled with the turmoil caused by internal social conflicts in many sovereign states, has led many to seek refuge from these natural and man-made disasters. The super-large life space entrance opened on Socotra Island has become the best option.
Chen Fei, of course, would not show any sympathy for the uninvited guests outside the care list and distribute living supplies for no reason.
Here, compassion and kindness will only be met with further demands and endless trouble.
As long as they stayed obediently outside the high walls of the gathering point, he couldn't be bothered to let these people fend for themselves.
Several attacks occur daily at both the north and south gates, and countless people attempt to climb the walls.
The security personnel sent by the sovereign of the desert peninsula to maintain order were completely useless. They stayed in their temporary modular prefabricated houses with air conditioning from morning till night and never showed their faces. This was only after Chen Fei paid a huge sum of money for security, far exceeding the land lease fee. And that's it!
This is a terrible review, my friend!
It now seems that local sovereignty is unreliable and we will ultimately have to rely on ourselves.
No wonder Chen Xiaoer only gave a heads-up to the sovereignty of the desert peninsula before ordering the logistics ship to send 10,000 combat robots in batches to personnel gathering points a few kilometers from the coastline within the desert peninsula.
Armed combat robots immediately drove away the uninvited guests who had broken into the distribution point by various means. Those who tried to resist were knocked down with a stick, and those who resisted with sharp weapons and firearms were shot dead on the spot. There was zero tolerance and zero sympathy.
The emotionless robot's execution never disappointed Chen Fei.
Every day, several corpses and a dozen or so bruised and swollen men, cursing and swearing, are dragged out of the high-walled gathering point.
The people were killed and arrested by the security personnel of the sovereign state of the desert peninsula. Although they did nothing wrong, they were quick and efficient at taking the blame, making Chen Fei's expenses at least worth the price. Then, deep trenches were dug and barbed wire was erected.
An S-class space-type ability user took some time to come over and add an ability skill called "Isolation," perfect!
No unrelated cats or dogs can sneak in anymore; the tight defenses have effectively eliminated any casualties caused by wishful thinking or reckless behavior.
If you want to charge straight at the gate, you have to first look at the well-defined layers of large-caliber machine gun positions. Even those with superpowers can only sigh in despair. It's designed to defend against those with superpowers.
The first batch of people and their families from all over the world traveled by various means of transportation and finally arrived at the gathering point with great difficulty. Once a certain number were reached, they were transported by airship to Socotra Island and entered the "Boundary Pearl" life space through the "Boundary Gate".
The island's 30-meter-diameter "gateway" opens twice a day, once in the morning and once in the afternoon, each time lasting for an hour. It transports industrial products out while receiving supplies and transferring personnel. Entry and exit are more strictly controlled than at personnel gathering points within the sovereign territory of the desert peninsula, given the large amount of supplies involved, especially war materials. Therefore, the possibility of smuggling into the living space from the gathering point is absolutely zero.
Chen Fei didn't focus much on the personnel gathering points; everything was planned in advance. Once the list passed the final review, it wouldn't be changed. Moreover, the second batch of lists was also in the midst of intense preparation, and it was unknown how much turmoil it would cause. Public opinion became polarized as a result. On one side, there was almost unanimous condemnation of "Mr. C," demonizing him into a public enemy. Everyone was forcibly represented by those public figures who jumped around. On the other side, people were scrambling to get into the super-large life space. Friendships sank across the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. Countless challenges failed, and love turned to hate. Close brothers and lovers parted ways. If the exciting stories that happened were made into films, TV series, or other entertainment works, the number would probably far exceed the total number of the past five thousand years.
An S-class space-type ability user, along with Chen Fei and a small transport ship, made daily trips to the various "abnormal areas" and the extra-atmospheric space rift battlefields. They used their ability "space teleportation" to travel through each area, taking less than ten minutes in total, leaving in a flash without lingering.
Wherever they went, they used the immense spiritual power shared by the "Tree of Life" to sweep away the dense corpses on the battlefield. They even forcibly stripped away the sprouting "Black Vine of the Flying Ship" and threw them all into the "Boundary Pearl" life space. At the same time, they left behind a large number of supplies and tactical units to fill the combat sequence, such as combat ships and logistics ships, as well as hundreds of thousands of combat robots.
Although the First Sovereign had intervened to provide reinforcements and turned the tide with its powerful combat capabilities, Chen Fei still could not remain uninvolved.
His specialty is attrition warfare. Every extra unit Chen Fei expends, even if it means losing combat robots and spaceships, will reduce casualties among human soldiers for the Blue Star sovereigns. Exchanging consumables for casualties is a traditional way of fighting.
After all, in a war of attrition against the "Sagara" civilization that takes the biotechnology route, the Blue Star civilization that takes the industrial technology route does not have much of an advantage. The advantage of the industrial route lies in rapid technological iteration. Once on the right track, the progress in just a few decades can surpass that of the previous thousands of years.
However, the "Sagarli" civilization may not give the Blue Star civilization this opportunity. Their relentless pressure has increased Chen Fei's sense of urgency, as if an invisible noose is quietly wrapping around the Blue Star civilization's throat, tightening inch by inch.
Tomorrow we're having steamed beef with rice flour. Thaw the beef leg, cut it into chunks, coat it with tenderizing powder, change it every three hours, and after changing it twice, refrigerate it overnight. Then rinse it clean, coat it with meat tenderizing powder, and steam it over low heat for three hours.
