Tamu Town is a small town on the edge of the Tamu Desert. It has a permanent population of just over a thousand. These people all live together on both sides of a 300-meter-long street.
In the past, the residents of Tamu Town lived a quiet life. The elderly and children stayed in the town, and the young people went out to work.
Moreover, this 300-meter-long street is deserted all year round. The busiest time is when young people go home during the Chinese New Year.
At most, people venturing into the Tamu Desert will pass through Tamu Town for supplies or stay for a day or two.
But things are different now. Many, many people have come to Tamu Town, and these people have built many simple temporary office buildings and temporary housing one kilometer away from the street.
A lot of engineering equipment enters the Tamu Desert from Tamu Town every day, and helicopters can be seen taking off and landing from time to time.
Nowadays, most of the shops in the small streets of Tamu Town are restaurants, and these restaurants are full every day.
For this reason, young people working outside Tamu Town have returned to the town.
…
It was already six o'clock in the evening when Su Zhe and his group of thirty people arrived in Tamu Town.
At this time, it was completely dark, but the small streets of Tamu Town were still brightly lit.
The restaurants on both sides of the street were full.
The bus stopped by the street. Principal Xu Zhengping stood up and shouted to everyone on the bus with a smile: "It's getting late. Let's have dinner on the street before going to the temporary residence."
The group of people got out of the car and walked into a restaurant called Tamu Hotel.
The young boss who greeted them was extremely enthusiastic, especially when he treated the principal Xu Zhengping.
The name of this restaurant is prestigious, but the front door of the restaurant is just an ordinary two-story building.
Xu Zhengping, Su Zhe, and Fan Xiaoming just entered the restaurant's lobby, and the originally bustling lobby suddenly became quiet.
Suddenly, many people stood up quickly and shouted.
"Hello, principal! Hello, Professor Su! Hello, Professor Fan..."
"..."
Su Zhe and his party stopped and responded to the greetings of these people with smiles on their faces.
The people who stood up to say hello were teachers and students of Lingzhou University of Technology, or graduates of Lingzhou University of Technology.
Those who were sitting and did not understand the situation at the beginning also stood up after knowing who the group of people who came in were, and looked at Su Zhe and his group with admiration.
Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, Xu Zhengping quickly shouted: "Everyone, sit down and eat... you have worked hard these days..."
After appeasing everyone in the restaurant hall, Su Zhe, Xu Zhengping and their group followed the young boss to the backyard of the restaurant.
It is said to be the backyard of the restaurant, but it has actually been transformed into private rooms of different sizes.
Su Zhe and his party entered a large private room with four round tables.
A group of thirty people sat at four round tables.
Fan Xiaoming looked around and said with a smile: "Everything in this private room is new. These were just built!"
Although the decoration of this private room is ordinary, it has everything it should have.
"Yes! There were none of these when I first came here, and at that time the restaurant was just a breakfast shop." Xu Zhengping explained.
He still remembered the first time he came to Tamu Town.
At first, he thought that the conditions in Tamu Town should be pretty good, as it was a town after all.
Only when I arrived did I realize that the total population of Tamu Town was just over a thousand. Except for the young people who went out to work, there were only a pitiful 780 people left in the town.
After seeing the dilapidated streets, I realized that he was ignorant.
"Breakfast restaurant!" Fan Xiaoming smiled and said, "I just noticed that the Tamu Hotel is quite large. The total number of people dining in the front lobby and the back bakery is estimated to be more than 200 people."
Assistant to the principal Han Guoguo immediately saw that Fan Xiaoming was not convinced and explained: "The total population of Tamu Town is only more than a thousand, and its streets..."
Listening to Han Guoli's explanation, everyone had a preliminary understanding of Tamu Town in the past.
This Tamu Hotel used to be a breakfast restaurant, but its current size has been expanded in recent months.
I also know that the people eating in the store are staff involved in the development and construction of Tamu Gobi.
"This...expansion will cost a lot of money! How much money did they get?" Fan Xiaoming looked curiously at Principal Xu Zhengping and Assistant Principal Han Hanli.
Xu Zhengping smiled and said: "The residents of Tamu Town are not short of money now!"
"Not short of money?" Fan Xiaoming was confused.
The uninformed people at the table were also confused.
Han Hanli explained: "That's right, the location of Tamu Town is very important. We will set up a train station, high-speed rail, subway..."
The location of Tamu Town is very good.
Tamu Gobi is 800 kilometers long from east to west and 300 kilometers wide from north to south. Tamu Town is just on the southern edge of Tamu Gobi, at the center of the east and west.
One hundred and twenty kilometers south of Tamu Town is Lingzhou.
The land belongs to Tamu Town, and compensation must be given to Tamu Town for the expropriation of these lands.
To this end, the school spent a one-time compensation of 4 billion, of which 1 billion was given to Tamu Town to build Tamu Town, and 3 billion was equally divided among the residents of Tamu Gobi.
No matter old or young, as long as their household registration is in Tamu Town, each person will receive more than two million yuan.
The most important thing is that the old streets in Tamu Town do not need to be demolished.
As for what these residents paid, it was part of the land that could not grow much food.
"More than two million! Not bad! Not bad!" Su Zhe nodded with satisfaction.
"Yes! It's money well spent." Fan Xiaoming said with certainty.
Others in the private room nodded, indicating that this should be the case.
"In the restaurant where we ate, their family of eight members received more than 20 million in compensation, so I say their family is not short of money." Xu Zhengping said with a smile on his face.
"I said that the young owner of the restaurant was so excited and enthusiastic, so that's what happened." Fan Xiaoming said with a smile.
Hearing this, everyone laughed.
Han Li said seriously: "We have also informed the residents of Tamu Town of the planning and construction of Tamu Town, letting them know what Tamu Town will look like in the future..."
With that said, the dishes started to be served.
Soon, all four tables were filled with dishes.
…
After Su Zhe and his party finished dinner, when they were paying the bill in South Korea, the young owner of the restaurant shouted that they would not charge money.
It is said that without Lingzhou University of Technology to develop Tamu Gobi, people like them would not have received so much money and would not have lived a happy life so quickly.
In the end, the money was paid at Han Guoli's insistence.
However, the young boss gave Su Zhe and his group of more than 30 people each a kilogram of Tamu beef jerky, a local specialty.
The group left the restaurant and just got on the bus.
A car stopped next to the bus.
An old man and a young man got off the car, and they got on the bus directly.
The car started to move, and the bus started to move behind.
On the bus, Su Zhe, Xu Zhengping and their group looked at the two people who looked a little vicissitudes of life and were somewhat dark-skinned.
The two people are Guo Ziming, dean of the School of Architecture at Lingzhou University of Technology, and Zhou Dashi, Guo Ziming’s doctoral student.
"Old Guo! You have worked hard these past few months!" Xu Zhengping looked at Guo Ziming and Zhou Dashi and said.
"It's not hard! It's not hard! These are what we should do." Guo Ziming said with some excitement, "I have discovered now that those of us who are engaged in architecture cannot always stay in school. We must combine theory with practice. I It can be said that after graduation, students who participate in Tamu Gobi are all talents."
The school's promotion of the super factory plan is a great opportunity for construction workers like them.
To develop and build Tamu Gobi, he mobilized the entire architecture school.
All master students, doctoral students, and junior and senior students from their college are invited to participate in the development of Tamu Desert as long as they are willing.
These students are each responsible for one or multiple projects and directly interface with design companies, construction companies, etc.
Those freshmen and sophomores who stayed in school to study theory were not idle either. They followed the senior students on site for one-to-one distance learning.
These freshmen and sophomores not only study, but also review those projects.
In general, teachers and students from the School of Architecture can participate in the development of Tamu Gobi as long as they are willing.
For teachers and students, not only can they practice the theories they have learned, but they can also get paid.
The salaries of teachers and students participating in Tamu Desert development are not low, twice the market rate.
Xu Zhengping nodded with a smile and said, "I think so too... With such good conditions here, if you still can't become a talent, then there's nothing I can do."
Developing Tamu Gobi and building super factories will benefit not only the School of Architecture, but the entire school.
Of course, the first to benefit are the engineering colleges.
Like other engineering colleges and architecture colleges, all teachers and students were mobilized.
"Yes! If you can't become a talent like this, how stupid this person must be." Guo Ziming said.
The group arrived at the temporary residence chatting and laughing.
The temporary shelters are rows of two-story simple buildings, with 3,000 rooms in each row.
According to Guo Ziming, there are a total of 60,000 such simple rooms in this residence, housing 100,000 people.
Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming lived in the same room. The room was neither big nor small, so it was just right for the two of them.
There is a bed, desk, internet and bathroom and everything.
The overall layout is similar to that of a school dormitory.
After the two put their luggage away, a group of more than 30 people got into six patrol cars under the leadership of Guo Ziming.
They were heading to the office building.
On the way, at the request of principal Xu Zhengping, the patrol car stopped.
The group visited the homes of others.
South Korea stood aside and explained: "In principle, everyone lives in a double room. If there are special circumstances, you can apply for a single room."
"Not bad!" Xu Zhengping smiled and nodded, "The school logistics office did not disappoint me."
On the way, Xu Zhengping pointed in random directions and stopped at several places to check on the accommodation.
There are two types of people living in this area.
The first category is the teachers and students of the school, which is also the focus of the inspection.
The second category is personnel from other units. These cannot be controlled, but they can be restrained. After all, Lingzhou University of Technology is the big owner.
After one lap, Xu Zhengping was quite satisfied.
On the way to the office building, everyone passed by basketball courts, football fields, cinemas, canteens and other facilities.
Finally, everyone arrived at the office building.
This office building is not high, only three floors.
Like all buildings, they are simple.
Everyone came to a large classroom.
At this time, the large classroom was full of people, and there was warm applause after Xu Zhengping, Su Zhe and their entourage arrived in the large classroom.
There are more than 600 people sitting in the large classroom. Except for a few people from other cooperative units, most of these people are teachers and students of Lingzhou University of Technology.
More than 300 of these teachers and students, like Su Zhe and others, came specially to visit the construction of Tamu Desert.
The other teachers and students are those who participated in the development and construction of Tamu Desert. These people all have one characteristic in appearance, that is, dark skin.
This was posted next door.
Su Zhe, Xu Zhengping and a group of more than 30 people were seated, and Guo Ziming, the dean of the School of Architecture, stepped onto the podium.
After a brief introduction to principals Xu Zhengping, Su Zhe, Fan Xiaoming and others, representatives from other cooperative units were introduced.
After introducing these, principal Xu Zhengping stepped onto the podium.
At first, Xu Zhengping thanked the cooperating units, and then thanked the teachers and students who participated in Tamu Gobi.
Special emphasis should be placed on safety.
Finally, we talked about accommodation, food, entertainment, and study.
From the very beginning of the development and construction of Tamu Gobi, the construction schedule was very tight, and the principle of construction was that people stopped working without stopping.
Different positions use different strategies.
For example, high-intensity physical work requires eight shifts and six shifts.
After Xu Zhengping finished speaking, Guo Ziming stepped onto the podium.
At this time, the plan of Tamu Gobi appeared on the big screen in the large classroom.
Guo Ziming explained the planning map of Tamu Gobi while looking at the big screen.
"Let me first talk about the planning of Tamu Town where we are located. Its..." Guo Ziming explained.
Tamu Town will serve as the transportation hub of Tamu Desert, and all roads and railways will pass through Tamu Town.
The plan for this railway is to start from Lingzhou Station, set up a parking station next to Lingzhou University of Technology, then reach Tamu Town, and finally reach the edge of the center next to Tamu.
After talking about Tamu Town, we started to introduce the transportation plan of Tamu Gobi.
According to the plan, five airports will be built in the Tamu Desert.
The five airports are located in five areas: southeast, northwest, and central, and each airport is built according to the highest standards.
Then there are railways and roads.
Tamgobi will build a super factory with the entire industry chain, and transportation will be essential.
Railways bear the main responsibility for transportation, with highways and aviation assisting.
Finally, there is the subway.
In the planning of the subway, most of the transportation in Tamu Gobi, that is, the travel of people, will rely on the subway.
Another feature is that these subways will be built one hundred meters underground.
As for why I have cultivated so deeply, that is another plan.
Guo Ziming explained seriously on the podium, and the people in the audience listened carefully.
As we all know, the planning of Tamu Desert is not simple.
It considers more than just the present.
At the same time, everyone also knows that the development and construction of Tamu Gobi requires a huge amount of manpower and material resources.
