"Colonel Lin, during the days when you weren't here, honestly speaking, our camp has undergone quite significant changes."

At the construction site in the Life Experiment Base, Lin Li was wearing a safety helmet, confidently speaking to the people behind him.

With his sparse hair covered by the helmet, this old man seemed rather spirited.

A short while ago, after welcoming back the members of the commerce delegation.

Everyone conducted a simple handover on the spot and then, led by Lin Li, moved towards the command center while observing the changes inside the Life Experiment Base.

Previously, Lin Ziming and others spent three days traveling to Ziqiong City, including the time spent heading to Linyuan City, waiting for the Flying Ship, and the flying duration.

Following that, the commerce delegation stayed in Ziqiong City for nearly one Damo Day, which is seven Huaxia days.

Counting the three-day return journey, the commerce delegation had been away for a total of thirteen days, about two weeks altogether.

For countries like Huaxia, which specializes in infrastructure.

Thirteen days, coupled with many engineering soldiers and refugee workers working together, is enough to make quite a significant impact.

At this moment, acting as Lin Li's security guard and assistant.

Zhang Guanghua took on the task of introducing progress to everyone, first opening a document and saying:

"Everyone, in the past thirteen days, the number of refugee workers in our camp has surpassed three thousand.

Therefore, compared to before everyone left, the speed of infrastructure on the construction site has seen a relatively large improvement, nearly doubling.

Under the labor of many workers, the foundation of our first-phase project has been completely set up.

Several top-priority laboratories across various fields have also been built, including the largest one, a high-energy physics laboratory with an area of close to one thousand four hundred square meters.

In short...Upon confirming the stability of the light gate, the base camp has practically put everything into supporting the construction of our camp."

Just as Zhang Guanghua said, the base camp, or rather the homeland, is making every effort to support the camp's construction.

Projects like foundations belong to normal progress, at most enhancing efficiency through rotating shifts.

But being able to quickly build several laboratories...

That is investing heavily.

Advanced equipment is secondary; the key is these laboratories' exterior materials, which are extraordinary.

The price of this type of material is on average between fifty thousand to one million per cubic meter, making them absolute war-ready supplies.

For example, the neutrino and particle conversion experiment loops in the high-energy physics laboratory, with a post-collision energy dissipation rate not exceeding 2.6%. The Huaxia initially invested over two billion to master the exterior construction technology, producing only seven units.

To build an exterior piece like this readily, you wouldn't get it done without two or three billion.

Thirty-plus square meters of area for two or three billion!

So it's roughly understandable this way:

The base camp is treating the Life Experiment Base as if Modu had been attacked by aliens, utilizing all means to restore its scientific research capabilities.

After understanding this, Lin Ziming took a thoughtful glance at the surrounding buildings.

Then his eyes caught sight of the refugee workers bustling on the construction site not far away, prompting him to ask:

"Captain Lin, how's the situation with this batch of newly arrived refugee workers? Have they adapted well?"

Lin Li mused for a moment, guiding him to a higher spot, where the construction site could be clearly seen split into several areas:

"Compared to the first batch of refugee workers, managing these new arrivals definitely presents some challenges.

After all, many of these refugee workers were newly organized into Chixian City and hadn't experienced previous beast tides, thus lacking relatively comprehensive and intuitive knowledge of us."

He then pointed to some refugee workers wearing yellow armbands on their arms and said:

"However, thanks to the cooperation between the political work department and the active members of the first batch of refugees, the new and old refugee workers have started merging gradually — of course, this also benefits from our material conditions directly,"

Oh, by the way, do you remember the refugee named Wang Tiejimu?

Lin Ziming recalled for a moment:

"The one who's blind in one eye, seems somewhat intellectually impaired, but trusts us immensely?"

Although there are numerous refugees on the construction site, Wang Tiejimu's characteristics are so distinctive that he wouldn't easily be forgotten.

Lin Li nodded, replied:

"That's right, him.

A week ago, we conducted targeted cell repair surgery on him, and he has been recovering well overall, now able to communicate normally.

Remember that literacy training class we opened before? He's one of the members.

Before the surgery, he could only memorize five or six Chinese characters daily. Now he can easily surpass twenty, though practical application is still somewhat affected."

Speaking about the language issue.

Lin Li lightly slapped his forehead and beckoned to the side:

"Almost forgot to introduce, comrades, please come over here."

Responding to Lin Li's call, five men and women approached from the side.

These five people were all young and appeared quietly confident.

"These five comrades are Chang Qian, Qi Jiuming, Gan Yihao, Zhuang Yiping, and Duan Ziyang, all excellent interpreters on the external communication line."

Lin Li introduced their names one by one:

"The five of them arrived in Damo Realm ten days ago and hold significant talent in language learning, having mastered five or more foreign languages each."

A while back, mention was made of Wu Fan.

Language talent is hardly considered a language halo because there are actually many individuals possessing it — or rather, given the population size of over a billion in Huaxia, quite a number can be identified.

There are some individuals so adept they can grasp a foreign language in just four days, even a phlegm-stuck German accent. (This writer witnessed it personally)

And such individuals often emerge on external communication lines.

Thus, it didn't take much effort for the base camp to select over a dozen language geniuses and dispatch them to Damo Realm not long ago.

Since the translation machines of Huaxia currently can only execute translations in normal language states.

Though with the increasing amount of language text, subsequent improvements are anticipated.

However, machine translation can never fully replace human translation.

This is why the base camp has sent translators to Damo Realm.

Not only that.

The language samples left by Cheng Shiqing are being optimized rapidly, expected to open for learning by camp members shortly — since they're in Damo Realm, learning the local language is essential for further development.

Compared to Lin Ziming who cared about the engineering progress.

Dai Chaohong and Ma Ning as sociologists were evidently more interested in understanding the current situation in Chixian City.

Since just after their departure, the camp had already commenced the refugee collection plan.

Thus, exchanging a glance, Ma Ning and Dai Chaohong had Ma Ning ask:

"Captain Lin, how has Chixian City developed during this period?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Li patted Shi Zehong's shoulder:

"Things in Chixian City are mainly handled by Director Shi, so I'll let him explain."

Shi Zehong first respectfully nodded to Ma Ning, as he wasn't very familiar with the camp due to limited time there:

"Comrades, we have gathered over seventeen thousand refugees this time, and the total population in Chixian City has now surpassed thirty thousand.

These refugees are temporarily accommodated outside Chixian City, in a temporary settlement composed of prefab houses and disaster relief tents.

Thirty-plus hours ago, several of our production lines were already fully adjusted.

If all goes well, Wei Mansion's chief steward Wei Lianzhang should be recruiting workers in the city.

Additionally, some of our other growth plans are beginning to implement, aiming to quickly turn Chixian City into a small handicraft city, then radiating outward.

Because while relying entirely on our supply isn't problematic in the short term, over time, Chixian City will lose its self-sustaining capability.

What we need is a vibrant, healthy Chixian City, not a pest that clings to us."

Shi Zehong's final words carried some weight, but indeed reflected Huaxia's actual intentions.

Chixian City is the enterprise left by Wei Siming and others, and only by bestowing it with a unique vitality can the transmigrators' spirits be better comforted.

After understanding the development of Chixian City, Lin Ziming suddenly frowned.

He instinctively looked around, feeling that certain areas seemed somewhat discordant.

After a moment, he suddenly realized something and asked Lin Li:

"Captain Lin, has the power plant been put into operation?"
