Chapter 299
Outside Area 16, a one-horned man was waiting eagerly, and was very excited and surprised when he saw him.
"Is this Master Imper? I'm here to pick you up."
All the unicorns look the same, so who knows who the one in front of me is? Besides, he has never been to gathering place No. 1.
"Come pick me up? Come pick me up, don't you know to go to the railway station to pick me up? You made me walk two kilometers."
Imper's face was sullen as he turned off the navigation map displayed on the computer on his wrist.
If it were the days when he was domineering, he would definitely teach this one-horned man a lesson, but now... forget it, his status is not much higher than this one-horned man.
Moreover, he had just arrived at gathering place No. 1 and needed these unicorns to do things for him.
Ever since the unicorn came to Tianyun Star, he knew that the owner there was an Ikar people. He had a natural awe for the Ikar people. Now, hearing Imper's unhappy voice, he apologized repeatedly.
"I didn't know when you would come, so I didn't dare leave. I'm so sorry."
"You must be tired from walking. My car is parked over there. Why don't we go first? We knew you were coming today, so everyone has been waiting for you."
If I wasn't afraid that a group of people standing here would attract unnecessary attention, there would definitely be more than just me waiting here.
Imper glanced at the gathering place not far away. Even from this distance, he could see that it was as dirty, messy and backward as the previous gathering place No. 2.
As for why it is not the current one, of course it is because the current Gathering Place No. 2 has already undergone earth-shaking changes under the leadership of Gray Mist.
Imper let out a breath. "Never mind. I knew before I came here that this wouldn't be an easy job."
Working here is definitely not as comfortable as working in the lab.
Apart from anything else, the living standard will drop a lot. Really, when it comes to construction and development, Lei's major is more suitable for me, right?
How could I be so unlucky to be chosen by the Doctor?
"Hurry up."
The unicorn quickly said, "Yes, yes, please."
Imper glanced at the unicorn and looked at the badge on his chest. "Number 19, right? You can come pick me up, so you must be capable."
"Tell me about the situation at Gathering Place No. 1 first."
Wrapping herself tightly in outer clothes, Imper, whose low star power level prevented her from being immune to cold or heat, would shiver in this kind of weather if she didn't dress warmly.
Not every race has the physical fitness of female insects. Most civilized races in the starry sky have poor natural physical fitness.
Once in the car, thanks to the heater inside, Imper wasn't wrapped up so tightly anymore.
The one-horned man No. 19, who was driving next to him, was introducing the situation of Gathering Place No. 1 to him. While listening, he was also looking at the information he received.
"The changes at Gathering Area No. 1 began long before the winter, when we received an order from Base No. 1."
Number 19 didn't know where to start, so he just started from the beginning.
Imper didn't interrupt, he actually wanted to listen too.
After all, when the incident happened in Gathering Place No. 1, they had already been cured by the doctor and were too busy to take care of themselves, so how could they have time to worry about the situation in Gathering Place No. 1?
As for the order from Base No. 1 that the unicorn man mentioned, it goes without saying that it must have been issued by the Doctor.
"We followed the base's orders and provided strong support to the Zerg in the gathering area during the severe winter, allowing them to survive the harsh winter..."
Base No. 2 is near Gathering Place No. 1, but in terms of command priority, the orders from Base No. 1 are higher than those from Base No. 2.
So when they received the mission from Base No. 1 a few days before the winter, they were puzzled as to why the Ikar people were willing to be human beings this year and even planned to do charity.
Even the one-horned man dared not disobey orders.
However, complaints and hypocrisy are inevitable. After all, by doing so, apart from the benefits to the Zerg, they only gain an increase in workload several times over.
The supplies distributed in previous years ensured that not too many female insects would die from hunger and cold, so the task could be completed easily.
This year, they have to ensure the supply of all materials, and the order issued also states that if the number of casualties increases due to their inadequate work, their lives will be paid for.
Such words made the unicorn people very surprised. You know, compared with the female insects that die like weeds and then grow again, these tools that they bought at a high price are actually more expensive.
What's more, the Zerg that died every year were dragged away, buried and burned by them. No one except them knew how many had died.
Even if the Ikars wanted to investigate, what could they find out as long as they concealed the truth?
Therefore, the One-Horned Man did not take this order seriously at first. Although the amount of supplies distributed was increased, it was just a pretense.
If it weren't for what happened later, they might have returned to their old ways in a few days - there was no one watching them from behind in Gathering Place No. 1.
What changed that happened one morning.
They received a new notification.
Almost at the same time, their optical computers received information from Base No. 1, which frightened them so much that they were almost unable to recover.
Due to magnetic field interference, there is no wireless network or signal equipment installed on Tianyun Star. All information transmission must be carried out through wired network optical cables. The person who can always receive orders is the person in charge among the unicorns.
Then it was passed down from district to district.
When did the information transmission become synchronized, and they were completely unaware of it.
When Imper, who was standing by, heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched. That's right.
God knows how shocked he was when he learned that there was stable network coverage on Tianyun Star. This technology was not impossible, but the high cost and service life made it completely unnecessary to set up the network.
There are only a few people on Tianyun Star who have optical computers, so it would be a waste to have one. For normal needs, wired transmission is enough.
Otherwise, why would you say that Gray Fog is so generous?
Imper shook her head.
"continue."
"OK."
The one-horned man continued.
Network coverage and no network coverage are completely different things for Yuou. They will never dare to do anything that goes against their will again.
Why do I say so?
It's a very simple truth.
Originally, they relied on the fact that no one could see them and did whatever they wanted. It was entirely up to them whether the task was completed according to orders or not.
But now that they have network coverage, things are different. Along with the full coverage of the network comes the "eyes" floating above their heads.
These surveillance cameras are keeping a close eye on them, and if they fail to distribute supplies properly, they will immediately receive an accountability message.
At the same time, there is also a set of assessment system.
If they receive too many accountability messages, it means they are unable to complete their own work, and in that case, they will be considered for dismissal.
Dismissed.
These two words sounded friendly, but the hidden murderous intent made the unicorns who saw them shudder.
Unicorns are created through genetic manipulation. Their lives are predetermined from the time they are still embryos. They will do whatever job the buyer requires them to do for the rest of their lives.
If they are fired midway, they are told to die.
In this situation, facing the threat posed by the Ikars, their masters, the One-Horned People put in 200% of their effort and enthusiasm, and tried hard to distribute the supplies stored in the warehouse.
Many Zergs didn't dare to believe it or accept it at first, and they had to force it into their hands.
If they don't, they'll receive subpar performance reviews and be fired.
This is really terrible.
The one-horned people in gathering place No. 1 were being whipped by invisible whips and forced to work under invisible eyes. Until recently, they all thought that this was an order from the Ikal people.
Distributing supplies to allow the Zerg to have a better winter is a crazy act but it is understandable.
Maybe there were too many deaths in previous years, so maybe fewer people will die this year.
But soon, the one-horned people in gathering place No. 1 received a new task, requiring them to build three to five classrooms in each district, which could accommodate seventy to one hundred Zerg people.
This mission was really incomprehensible to the One-Horned People. They privately suspected that the Ikal civilization had gone crazy, and actually dared to take such a big risk and try to enlighten the Tianjia Zerg imprisoned on Tianyun Star.
For a moment, the unicorns were in a state of confusion.
After the network coverage, their optical computers can be used normally.
Although it is only possible within the No. 1 gathering area, it is still easy to create a work group or something like that, which also makes it convenient for them to discuss.
Since it was not prohibited, they took it as the masters' tacit consent.
Imper crossed her arms and asked with some interest, "So how did you do it?"
He also knew about the education of the Tianjia Zerg, and he also knew that it started earlier in the No. 2 gathering place, starting in the middle of winter, but not until the end.
"We were a little hesitant at first, but this mission has a time limit, so after some discussion we decided to complete the task you assigned us."
It’s just a matter of setting up a few venues, and for the unicorns it’s just a matter of emptying a few containers.
It won't affect them if they do this, but if they don't do it, who knows if there will be another one who fails.
——They are unwilling to risk being fired by testing whether their master is sick.
"...You've all built the temporary classrooms."
"It's built, and we've prepared everything we were asked to prepare." Unicorn No. 19 nodded, but he still had many questions in his mind that he didn't dare to say out loud.
For example, how did the newly built railways suddenly lead to Gathering Place No. 1, and what about the things that shouldn't have appeared along with those trains?
Also, starting more than half a month ago, they began to upgrade from electronic eyes that only monitored them to network monitoring covering the entire gathering place.
This group of unicorns have been working on Tianyun Star for hundreds of years and are all old employees, but they are completely confused by what has happened in just a few months.
Since the changes took place, the unicorns no longer have a leisurely life.
The distribution of supplies, the suspension of mining, the construction of temporary classrooms, etc. have made their working hours continue to lengthen. Recently, various construction materials and small and medium-sized mechanical equipment have also arrived along with the freight trains.
It even includes various transport robots, not the small humanoid ones, but robots that can transform and switch between trucks and humanoid forms at any time. The delivered items are placed in previously planned locations.
Oh, speaking of planning, that's another story.
"I know this part, no need to explain it."
Imper waved his hand, he had just finished reading it.
"Tell me something I don't understand, like how you're doing with the personnel training I asked you to arrange."
The unicorn hesitated for a moment and said, "We urgently trained a group of people as required, but we don't have enough practical experience yet."
"It doesn't matter. It's okay if you don't have experience. You'll naturally gain experience as the work gets done."
Imper shrugged and said nonchalantly, "It's not me who's having my blood drawn anyway. If someone is unskilled, they'll become proficient after a few injections."
The unicorn fell silent. It seemed that what he said was true.
Imper rubbed his chin and decided to give the horned man a heads up.
"You don't have to think too much. Just be obedient and do whatever you're told. Don't try to play tricks on me."
"The current Tianjia Zerg are no longer the race you could beat or scold at will."
"They are different now."
"Now, everything we do is to 'serve' them, understand?" Imper emphasized the tone of a certain word.
