"Why are these people like this?"
The director looked depressed. Didn't they used to mock him for following the Queen and eating only scraps instead of proper nutrient solutions?
Taking it so readily now, isn't that a slap in their own face?
"Everyone is starving, who can resist the temptation?"
Li Tang was speechless; this guy was just too stupid.
If it were him, the best course of action would be to hide these good things as soon as possible.
"This, I..."
The bureau chief also came to his senses and, taking advantage of the fact that no other friends were around, quickly hid the rest of the items.
It's just that he acted quickly enough, otherwise it would have been taken away again.
So when the next group of friends arrived, he shrugged and said that he had no food left at home.
Li Tang saw that he finally understood, and thought he was teachable.
"I'm telling you, not only food, but all your daily necessities from now on, you need to hide them well!"
"The situation will definitely get more and more difficult. Everything you need, from food and drink to clothing and other necessities, will be very precious. You won't have any friends then, so be careful."
The bureau chief nodded repeatedly; he had learned his lesson.
How do you know so much?
The director asked curiously, as he had never been to Earth and was unaware that the destruction caused by interstellar spacefaring had resulted in so many unpleasant events.
"I've been there!"
Looking at the "naive" bureau chief, Li Tang sighed.
This guy is only alive now because he's lucky.
"My God, you've actually been through something so terrible, you've really had a tough time."
The bureau chief felt he should do something for Li Tang.
"How about I give you all the food I just got?"
Seeing him about to retrieve the food he had painstakingly hidden, Li Tang was utterly speechless.
"No need, I'm with the Queen now, I have plenty of food and drink, more than you do."
The bureau chief paused for a moment, then smiled.
"Yes, yes, you're doing better than me now."
"But I am also the Queen's person, so I can live just as well in the future."
Heh, heh heh...
How naive and stupid! Is this person sure he won't be a hindrance to the Queen?
But looking into his trusting eyes, Li Tang felt a pang of urge to protect his kindness.
Oh my god, this is insane.
The transformation of interstellar space was definitely a huge project. After the five uncles started planting, Qin Su and Huo Sijin began to inspect the area.
To ensure a high green coverage rate, a lot of wasteland must be reclaimed.
There are just too many wastelands in the interstellar space, one after another, and there is no limit to how desolate they can get.
They have already put in tremendous effort to transform the best wasteland into a planting base, so you can imagine how much effort it would take to transform these wastelands.
But they had no way out; the only thing they could do was to make changes little by little.
"We definitely need a lot of manpower here."
Qin Su sighed. Getting interstellar people to come and explore the land wasn't difficult; the challenge was providing them with food, lodging, and safety.
As for food, the space has been quite generous lately; whatever I take out, it can replenish.
But as for accommodation, you can't exactly sleep outdoors.
Moreover, in the interstellar environment, tents are not very useful, as they are easily blown away.
"As for accommodation, we can learn from Earth's underground cities. I have excavation robots, so digging out places to live is relatively easy."
Qin Su's eyes lit up: "How could I have forgotten about this?"
"But even if you live underground, safety cannot be guaranteed."
They do have a disaster prevention system, but the cost and materials required to use it are too high, and it's impossible to implement it in every location.
"This system is still under development, but a simple forecasting system should be developed soon."
Huo Sijin said.
"That's great! Now the entire interstellar space system can function!"
"However, these things cannot be done by us alone. The four families should not have it too easy either."
It is said that when the four major families felt that there was not enough food, they stopped supplying nutrient solution.
In reality, the nutrient solution wasn't truly insufficient; it was just that they were so worried that they stored up all the nutrient solution for everyone, watching helplessly as the interstellar people starved.
She was unhappy that people like that weren't allowed to do more work.
So these people were assigned to the most barren places to cultivate.
Moreover, there are time limits for reclaiming wasteland; it's impossible to let them do it at their own pace.
The people of the four great families are pampered and spoiled; how could they possibly cultivate wasteland?
They wanted to hire people to cultivate the land, but at that time, the entire intergalactic world was busy with its own tasks, so who had time to care about them?
Besides, the Queen provides them with food and drink, and even rewards them; they are much more reliable than the people from the four major families.
"The Queen is too ruthless; she's trying to exhaust us."
Before long, some people couldn't hold on any longer and started complaining to other families.
"Sigh, the Queen must know that we were the masterminds behind driving her away last time, and this time she's deliberately retaliating against us."
Some people sighed, blaming themselves for going too far back then, which is why they are so tired now.
"I wonder when the Queen's revenge will end. Otherwise, if I keep clearing this wasteland every day, I feel like I'm going to die soon."
...
Qin Su, of course, ignored their complaints. Everyone was reclaiming wasteland. Although their wasteland was more difficult to reclaim, she had also reasonably calculated the working hours.
As long as they don't slack off, the task can definitely be completed.
However, she still overestimated the four major families.
People collapsed after only two days of cultivation.
"Your Majesty, I really can't do it anymore."
Carried to the clinic on a stretcher, the head of one of the four major families looked haggard and barely had the strength to speak.
Ji Youyou: ……
They're really too weak.
However, this person was truly exhausted; if he continued, he would really lose his life.
Qin Su did not force him any further, allowing him to rest at the clinic and ensuring he had food and drink.
He was deeply moved: "Waaah, the Queen is such a kind person. I misunderstood her before."
"Waaah, once I'm better, I'll continue to work hard to cultivate the land. I'll definitely be someone the Queen can trust."
Qin Su hadn't expected this person to have such awareness.
She's very busy, making rounds every day.
There are less than thirty years left in interstellar travel, but there is still so much to be done.
In particular, besides these environmental issues, there are also forces lurking in the shadows, waiting for their chance to strike.
Although the robot attack from last time did not come again, she remained vigilant.
Those robots couldn't have been wiped out so easily. The fact that they haven't attacked for so long means they're brewing a bigger conspiracy.
She didn't know how big the attack the robots would eventually be, but the only thing she could do was prepare in advance.
