#145 - Chapter 145: Self-government of resettlement centers
The next-level large connector connected to the central hall is the material transfer hall.
The material transfer hall has a total of four expansion bays, but only docking and mounting bays are available. It is used to mount miniature unmanned transport spacecraft, and its function is equivalent to a port terminal.
So far, there is not much space junk around the space station that can be collected. Moreover, the worker bee robots cannot collect materials from a long distance. This requires miniature unmanned transport spacecraft to carry the worker bee robots to farther places.
At the same time, multiple production bays processing materials simultaneously can speed up the construction of the material transfer hall.
Also, increasing the number of production bays can also increase the upper limit of the number of worker bee robots.
Currently, after some modules have been upgraded to level 3, the number of worker bee robots is 1200. If four more production bays are built, the number of worker bee robots can be expanded to 1600.
Let's slowly build the space station for now.
Limited by the development speed on the ground, the development of the space station is not urgent at the moment.
His most important problem now is to build the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce and the Trade Union, and to start promoting and building branches of the Chamber of Commerce and the Trade Union throughout the country.
"Commander, a message has come from Skylark at the Huailing settlement," Xiaolin reported.
"What is the content?" Dongfang Chen asked.
"The message says that the Red Coats are planning a major operation recently, which may be related to the recent zombie siege events," Xiaolin said.
"Has there been any abnormal situation reported by the miniature bee-ants deployed in the settlement?" Dongfang Chen frowned and asked.
"Not yet," Xiaolin replied.
"Can you find out which settlements have been besieged by zombies in the past few days?" Dongfang Chen continued to ask.
"Unable to query at the moment."
"It seems that the Chamber of Commerce's plan must be accelerated! The feeling of information blockage is really uncomfortable!" Dongfang Chen sighed.
……
June 1, 2055 AD.
On this day, a major event that shocked the entire Hua country happened!
83 settlements in the Southeast Military Region and the Central Military Region simultaneously announced autonomy!
As soon as this news came out, everyone was shocked!
Yusu Province, Kunfeng City, Southeast Military Region Headquarters.
"What? Say it again!"
"Outrageous! Simply outrageous!"
"Go, let the guard company drive all those people at the door away for me!"
"Simply rampant! Lawless!"
Zongzhen Yue was furious after learning about the autonomy of the settlements!
Immediately afterwards, the headquarters' phone rang.
"Zong Siyan, what the hell are you doing? The entire Southeast Military Region and the Central Military Region have been turned upside down by you!" Suo Tonghua of the Northeast Military Region roared on the phone.
"What does the matter of my Southeast Military Region have to do with you? Why are you being a busybody?" Zongzhen Yue also got angry and immediately retorted.
"If you want to die, find a deserted place to die quietly, why do you want to implicate others? I'm telling you, because of the trouble you caused, the settlements on my side are in an uproar! I don't care what the situation is, quickly settle the matter for me! If our Northeast Military Region is implicated by you, you can wait to be shot!" After speaking, Suo Tonghua hung up the phone directly.
In less than a minute, Shentu Zhenghao of the Northwest Military Region called again.
This Northwest Butcher is a ruthless person who doesn't talk much, and always takes action first.
Zongzhen Yue answered the phone and was about to speak, but the other end of the phone spoke first:
"Councilor Zong, the trouble you've caused has a great impact! Please calm it down as soon as possible!"
After speaking, the phone was hung up.
Zongzhen Yue felt particularly wronged, even more wronged than Dou E!
This is simply a case of sitting at home and having misfortune fall from the sky.
"What is all this! It's not right to provide support, and it's not right not to provide support!"
"The top leaders of these settlements are simply bastards! They praise whoever provides benefits and curse whoever doesn't!"
"They want to revolt if we don't provide support, simply outrageous! Lawless!"
The more Zongzhen Yue thought about it, the angrier he got.
"For this kind of behavior that openly challenges the military and the council, we should resolutely crack down on it!" This was Zongzhen Yue's first reaction.
But after careful consideration, there was also a problem with this matter.
This period is a time of panic. If we openly arrest the leaders of so many settlements, it may arouse public resentment and lead to further escalation of the situation.
But if we appease them, it would simply be encouraging these people's arrogance.
Furthermore, if we agree to their conditions and deploy troops in a dispersed manner to various settlements, it would be a dead end.
"Ring~"
While he was worried, Yan Zhengping called.
"Old Zong, I've heard about the situation. I think someone is manipulating it behind the scenes, otherwise so many settlements couldn't have acted so tacitly. Combined with the frequent zombie siege events in recent days, I think it is most likely that the Red Coats are behind it," Yan Zhengping said.
"The Red Coats!" Zongzhen Yue gnashed his teeth when he heard this name.
"Don't worry. My suggestion is to stand still for now. It's best to take a non-committal approach to the issue of settlement autonomy. If you suppress them, you will not only put the army on the opposite side of the people, but also risk falling into the Red Coats' trick, which is very risky," Yan Zhengping suggested.
