"Now our country has launched a 20-year building reconstruction project. All real estate developers have been mobilized. They will evaluate the existing buildings. Buildings that cannot stop the full blow of the third-order evolution, except for cultural relics Everything else will be torn down and rebuilt.”
The police chief was very talkative and told Meng Qingxiao some information related to his family.
"The Evolvers are getting stronger and stronger. The previous buildings can no longer withstand their ravages. Some people can knock down a building with one punch, so the country has no choice but to rebuild."
"Speaking of which, I have to thank your sister for this. If your sister hadn't reminded her on the TV show, the country would not have had this project."
"As the heroes of our strong Han Dynasty, your family was the first group to live in Taihe Garden. Scientists such as Su Chen and Bai Shuhao are also your family's neighbors now, and they are all related to each other."
The police chief laughed and said, "I won't go into details about these situations. You will understand them naturally after you go back."
"The Taihe Garden is a seaside villa park in Tanggu Port. It is very beautiful. It has now become the ideal paradise for many people in our country. Many scientists want to live there. It is even more popular than the former Qiongyuan Garden. Ha ha ha ha."
"I took the initiative to send you home this time, but it was actually out of selfish motives, because I am only famous for the Taihe Garden, but I have never been in it. I am also very curious and want to go in and visit."
Meng Qingxiao chuckled and said, "Then you are welcome to come to my house as a guest."
Meng Qingxiao asked the police chief about his family situation. Unfortunately, the police chief didn't know much. He just heard that his parents were in poor health and had retired at home long ago and could no longer work.
Meng Qingxiao felt very guilty. His absence from home for many years had caused his parents to endure too much.
Finally arriving at Tanggu Port, Meng Qingxiao looked out from the car and was shocked by everything in front of him.
He had been to Tanggu Port before. When he set sail for Europa, he came from this port. At that time, Tanggu Port had no characteristics, it was just a large modern port. But now, everything in front of him has changed.
The port is vaguely visible, and there are landmark buildings there. Even if they are far away, they can still be found as long as the view is clear.
Taihe Garden is not too far from the port, about 2,200 to 2,500 meters away. Nourished by the star power, it has become a paradise for plants. Meng Qingxiao saw a ginkgo forest.
This plant is called the giant panda of the plant world. It is a living fossil-level species that has existed since the Carboniferous Period 350 million years ago.
Their growth cycle is very long, especially in the initial stage. Once a seed is planted, it will take many years to grow into a sapling. Naturally growing ginkgo trees often take 20 years to bear fruit.
But Meng Qingxiao saw a ginkgo forest, each of which was more than ten meters high.
"When was this planted?" Meng Qingxiao was stunned.
"In the past few years," the police chief replied, "I haven't seen it before."
"Transplanted?"
"Haha, I don't know much about this either."
Passing through the ginkgo forest, the front suddenly opens up. There are no tall trees anymore, but there is a large grassland. However, it is winter, the grass and trees are withered, and there is not much green to see.
What surprised Meng Qingxiao was that there were many wild beasts living on the grassland, including deer species that he could not distinguish, as well as gazelles, bison, and even large carnivores. Because of the nourishment of star power, they All of them are extremely tall.
Meng Qingxiao said in surprise: "Is this a wildlife park?"
The police chief explained: "These are pets domesticated by humans, and they have been injected with second-generation Luohong."
"I also saw lions and wild leopards. Is it appropriate to keep them with these herbivores?"
"Haha, there's nothing we can do about it. We can't starve them. We usually let them hunt. However, managers often come over to feed some livestock."
The police chief thought for a while and then said: "This is the case all over the country now. Everyone will keep their adopted pets outside the city. However, there are still only a few people who have the ability to adopt wild animals because they need to pay a high fee every year. It’s more expensive than buying a car.”
Meng Qingxiao was curious: "It's just a wild beast, what else do I need to pay?"
"Mainly accident insurance, and then management fees. After all, they are wild beasts, difficult to restrain, dangerous to a certain extent, very destructive, can easily cause damage to public facilities, and can also be dangerous to other people, so they need to be provided Buy insurance to cover any damage they cause.”
"Oh, I didn't expect that." Meng Qingxiao thought for a while and said, "What if a lion eats someone else's antelope?"
"You need to compensate according to the price, and you will also have to bear legal responsibility if you hurt someone."
"Then who dares to raise them?"
"There are still some people raising them, but there are a lot less. Now the government doesn't encourage people to tame carnivorous beasts, because it brings a lot of trouble to the governance around the city. Unless you are willing to stay away from the city and live in the countryside, then you can raise them as you like. If you insist on ruining some crops, you can just pay compensation."
"That's it." Meng Qingxiao was thoughtful, and suddenly laughed, "I almost forgot, I also have a blue peacock, which has been kept free and I don't know where it went."
The police chief smiled and said: "Your bird is now a big star. Your wife has to pay a large amount of accident insurance premiums for it every year, because it is so destructive that the insurance company increases the premium year by year."
"What kind of damage can it do?" Meng Qingxiao felt incredible.
"It hangs around the city all day long, preying on other people's mounts every time."
"This guy." Meng Qingxiao was speechless.
"Haha, many people say that if your wife hadn't loved you so much, she would have killed that bird long ago. Someone calculated the cost for your wife. It will cost your family at least 350,000 yuan every year. , such a huge expense, no other family can afford it."
"I can't stand it either." Meng Qingxiao smiled bitterly, "My salary is not that high. My salary in the army plus the salary I receive from the coalition government add up to only 200,000 a year. And I haven't had a salary for many years. When I go home, these wages will definitely be gone.”
Meng Qingxiao didn't expect that his wife would bear so much for him.
He knew that Lu Caishi's salary was very high. After all, he had a double doctorate and was in the aerospace field, which was a project strongly supported by the state. However, no matter how high the salary was, he could not withstand her troubles. It actually cost 350,000 yuan a year. It's such a luxury to come and feed a bird.
The most irritating thing is not that Lu Caishi is willing to spend so much money. The most irritating thing is that the person she spends money on is a white-eyed wolf. The blue peacock will definitely not be grateful to her. That beast will not even know that there is someone there. So much has been paid for it.
The car soon drove into a green area. There were actually many Dieffenbachia planted here, and they were not potted plants. They were all planted on the ground. They occupied a very wide area. From a distance, they seemed to surround the entire building.
Inside the green area is the Taihe Garden. The surrounding terrain is higher. Meng Qingxiao saw a huge statue standing in the square at the entrance of the park from a distance. It was the founding head of the country and the great man who strengthened the Han Dynasty.
Surrounding the statue of the great man is a flower garden, planted with various flowers that bloom in all seasons.
Special police soldiers on duty can be seen in the square, as well as many women and elderly people playing with their children. There is a circle of benches around the square for people to rest.
Meng Qingxiao had good eyesight. He saw familiar people. His parents were all in the square. His father was sitting on a chair, looking at the children with a smile, pointing his finger from time to time. His mother was chatting with another unfamiliar eldest sister. Looking at the sky, he occasionally pulled up a child who fell because she was running too fast and patted the non-existent soil on her body.
They looked older than before, and Meng Qingxiao's eyes became moist involuntarily.
The car was stopped before it even got close to the square. Unreported outside vehicles were not allowed to enter and could only park in the parking lot inside the green belt.
Meng Qingxiao invited the police chief to go in with him, but was rejected. The chief changed his mind temporarily and did not want to stay here anymore. No matter how hard Meng Qingxiao tried to persuade him to stay, it was useless. Meng Qingxiao had to thank him profusely and let him go. its leaving.
Meng Qingxiao was also stopped when he wanted to enter the park because there was a gate and he did not have an access card.
The gatekeeper was wearing a security uniform and asked him the reason for his visit very politely, because Meng Qingxiao's face was very familiar to him, but he couldn't remember it for a moment. The man behind Meng Qingxiao was wrapped in sheets and could not be seen. Whether it was a man or a woman, the giant over two meters tall made him even more wary.
"Go home." Meng Qingxiao replied.
"Are you Meng Qingxiao?" Mengang finally remembered the name of the person in front of him and shouted in surprise.
"I am Meng Qingxiao." Meng Qingxiao smiled and nodded.
"Welcome home!"
Menggang was so excited that he finally met the legendary figure, but he was very competent and still asked who Tatila was.
"This is an alien friend of mine who looks different from Earthlings. I was afraid of scaring others, so I made her cover her face."
Meng Qingxiao used the language of the Eternals to signal Tatila to reveal his face.
Mengang was not frightened. There are very few people on earth who have never seen aliens. Even if they have not seen real people, it is not difficult to find photos of aliens on the Internet. Although they are all from Shixing people, there is one more planet. The aliens don’t seem to be worth the fuss.
He was obviously worried, and he did not relax his vigilance at all because Meng Qingxiao was a celebrity. He was worried about the danger of letting such an alien in.
Meng Qingxiao discussed with Tatila and wanted her to wait outside for a while, and he would pick her up after meeting her parents.
At this moment, the doorman had already called their foreman on the intercom. He thought it would be better to ask the foreman to come over and deal with it, because even if there was an alien waiting at the door, it would be very troublesome.
"Chief, please wait a moment. Our foreman will be here soon."
"Okay, don't worry." Meng Qingxiao felt something was wrong. It took him a while to realize it, and asked, "Are you a soldier?"
"Yes, the security guards in our park are all active military personnel." Mengang replied, "We are service posts, and there are soldiers wearing SWAT uniforms who are patrol posts."
"Oh." Meng Qingxiao suddenly thought, no wonder he called me chief, only soldiers from the powerful Han Kingdom would call me that.
