The train did not travel for very long. It arrived at the train station in Lianglong City.
When the train stopped, everyone who saw the train station felt it was truly shabby. There was only one platform.
After getting off the train, a staff member holding a sign said, "Everyone follow me. I want to take you to the accommodation area first."
Yuan Liguo followed the staff member outside. He saw that the area outside the train station was still a busy construction site. As far as the eye could see, there were construction sites everywhere.
The staff member led everyone from the entire train to the accommodation area, which was two kilometers away from the train station. Of course, this journey was on foot.
"This is the accommodation area. Everyone can get a key after registering. Although the conditions are still a bit difficult, once Lianglong City develops, you will have better houses to live in."
Yuan Liguo looked at the large accommodation area in front of him. The accommodation area was built with modular buildings. From the outside, it looked a bit like shipping containers, but the actual materials were not container materials. Instead, it was a new type of material. This new material far surpassed container board materials in terms of sound insulation and heat insulation.
The buildings in this modular dormitory area were six stories high.
"Show me your identity ID. I'll see which dormitory you've been assigned to."
Yuan Liguo's family took out their identity IDs.
The staff member checked and then took out a set of keys, a map guide for the accommodation area, and two satellite phones.
Yuan Liguo was assigned a two-bedroom, one-living room, one-bathroom, one-kitchen dormitory on the third floor.
Yuan Liguo learned from the dormitory assignment staff that the dormitory buildings assigned to his area were all for residents with families. There were mainly two-bedroom and three-bedroom units, with a few four-bedroom units.
After Yuan Liguo's family of four moved their luggage into the dormitory, they found that this dormitory was actually better than the apartment Yuan Liguo had rented on Blue Star in Long Country. Moreover, the dormitory was fully equipped with furniture and bedding, including a refrigerator, air conditioner, disinfection cabinet, range hood, stove, gas, and so on. It was a true "bring your suitcase and move in" situation.
Yuan Liguo's wife said, "This dormitory is provided by the country. The country is really good to us builders."
Yuan Liguo said, "Of course. If the conditions are good, we builders can work with peace of mind in this other world. Alright, this is the guide for this accommodation area. Let's see what it says?"
Yuan Liguo opened it and looked. It contained the development plan and map of Lianglong City. Most importantly for them, it stated that there was a school from kindergarten to high school next to the accommodation area. This school would open in September, and teachers would teach the children there. The children of the builders could enroll for free. The school also offered childcare services.
Yuan Liguo said, "Wife, look, there's a school right next to our dormitory area. Our son and daughter can go to kindergarten there."
"..."
Yuan Liguo and his wife were full of anticipation for the future.
The next day, Yuan Liguo got up early and went to work.
The Eleventh Infrastructure Company notified Yuan Liguo about his work arrangements through the satellite phone they had distributed the day before.
Yuan Liguo went out to the road outside the dormitory area at the appointed time. A bus arrived.
After a large group of people from the dormitory area boarded the bus, it was packed full.
Yuan Liguo took the bus until the last stop before getting off.
After getting off the bus.
Yuan Liguo saw a construction site in front of him where roads were being built. A large number of construction machinery was in operation. On the side, several signs read, "This section of road is being constructed by the Eleventh Infrastructure Group."
Staff from the Eleventh Infrastructure Group were already waiting there.
As Yuan Liguo walked over, a staff member called out, "Yuan Liguo, go to that excavator."
The staff member pointed to a brand-new, large excavator next to them.
As an excavator operator, Yuan Liguo's job was naturally to operate the excavator.
The staff member said, "See that area? The earthwork in that area needs to be leveled. Drive the excavator over there and level it out. Then, like the other excavators, continue building the road. Someone will assign you tasks there. Lunch will be a dinosaur meat feast. Work hard. There will be plenty of meat for lunch."
Yuan Liguo took the keys to the large excavator and got into it.
Thus, Yuan Liguo began his day's work.
When they finished working, it was lunchtime.
Yuan Liguo went to the makeshift kitchen container to collect his meal.
As the chef spooned a large ladle of dinosaur meat into Yuan Liguo's stainless-steel lunchbox,
Yuan Liguo looked at the dinosaur meat, which occupied half of the lunchbox, and said, "This dinosaur meat looks a lot like crocodile meat."
At this moment, the project manager who was serving Yuan Liguo's food laughed.
"Hahaha, that crocodile meat is actually dinosaur meat. Given the situation on Blue Star, how could there be so much crocodile meat? It's actually dinosaur meat from the dinosaur world that was transported to Blue Star and passed off as crocodile meat."
Yuan Liguo realized and said, "So that's how it is."
After getting his food, Yuan Liguo went to the side and sat on an overturned large tire to eat.
After a few bites, Yuan Liguo took out his satellite phone and called his wife.
"Honey. I'm eating now. Have you guys eaten yet?"
Yuan Liguo's wife said, "I'm buying groceries. There's a lot of dinosaur meat available here. It's as cheap as pork before the Great Famine. There are also many vegetables and fruits, all very cheap. And there's even flour here. What? This isn't flour? It's great fern powder? Extracted from a type of fern? It can also be used to make dough like flour? That's great! Husband, you heard that just now. There's also great fern powder here. Although we're southerners, I've decided to buy some to make dumplings. You'll have dumplings tonight. Dinosaur meat dumplings, you've definitely never eaten dinosaur meat before, have you?"
Yuan Liguo said, "I haven't eaten dinosaur meat dumplings, but I've eaten a lot of dinosaur meat. I'm eating dinosaur meat right now. Also, the crocodile meat I ate the other day was actually dinosaur meat. They used the name 'crocodile meat' to conceal the truth about the dinosaur meat."
"So that's how it is. So crocodile meat is dinosaur meat? Then I'll buy more dinosaur meat so you can eat your fill."
"No, no, I'm already eating a big plate of dinosaur meat now. It's better to buy more great fern powder to make dumplings."
"Okay, then I'll buy more great fern powder to make dumplings."
