Vol 2 Chapter 57: forced to work

Professional equipment is placed on the wide square, which can be used to assist the assessment.
All the people who signed up before were notified of the exam and gathered to the square as quickly as possible.
There were about 4,000 applicants, and there were several long queues, and the scene was very lively.
The operation to gather refugees needs to be carried out as quickly as possible, and the longer the delay, the greater the casualties.
Tang Zhen confirmed the plan and immediately started to implement it, all other things had to make way for the rescue operation.
The test officially started. The applicants wore special test equipment and entered the virtual reality environment to test whether they had driving talent.
Airship driving relies on mind control, which can be strengthened through acquired efforts. The stronger the strength, the easier it is to control.
There are not many monks in Loucheng, and Tang Zhen does not have too high requirements. As long as he has the corresponding talent, he can drive the airship normally.
The test time is very short and can be completed in one minute.
After the inspection, once it is confirmed that the requirements are met, you can directly board the boat for training.
The time is tight and the task is heavy, and everything should be done in a simple manner.
In addition to the driver, other departments are also screening together to select the most suitable staff.
An airship is in normal operation, with a minimum configuration of fifty personnel, plus ground staff, the total number is close to one thousand.
After testing and screening, only one-tenth of the official residents are eligible for continued training.
The vast majority of the candidates are candidate residents, and many have just joined in the past two days.
Although the loyalty has not yet reached the standard, it does not need to be too demanding. I believe it will not take long to improve.
After the relevant personnel are selected, they will directly enter the airship training, and Lou Ling will be in charge of the teaching throughout the whole process.
As the assistant of the city master, Lou Ling is extremely powerful and helps to share a lot of work.
In the early days of Loucheng's establishment, it was a nanny-like existence, helping the residents of Loucheng to grow rapidly.
During the training of airship personnel, Lou Ling released a new task.
Liu Hanyan and other monks and warriors received mission options and asked them if they would participate in refugee rescue.
If you are willing to participate in the operation, you will be rewarded handsomely and have the opportunity to gain the position of commander.
Then use the airship as a means of transportation to go to the Daqi border area and other places to carry out rescue operations.
Immediately after the mission was released, it received an overwhelming response.
Every interviewee was very interested in the rescue mission and chose to sign up after considering the consequences.
It is a noble thing to be able to take an airship to rescue those miserable refugees.
However, doing so also entails taking risks.
In a war-torn place, it is easy to be attacked by officers, soldiers and bandits, and even practitioners are involved.
When they saw the airship, they were likely to be greedy and take the initiative to attack the transport airship.
Although the airship has its own defensive weapons, it cannot guarantee absolute safety. If you want to carry out the operation smoothly, you must have a master escort.
Tang Zhen immediately thought of the captured monks and confirmed that they should be very suitable.
Tang Zhen's original plan was to detain them in exchange for ransom, repeating the previous operations against Liu Hanyan and others.
As a spiritual cultivator, one must pay more ransom, at least five million taels per person.
But now I feel that instead of being imprisoned all the time, it is better to use them, so that they can work for themselves and earn a rich ransom.
The problem is that these guys are cunning and cunning, and will likely refuse to cooperate, or take the opportunity to get out of control.
If you want them to be obedient, you must think of some safe ways.
At this time, the cornerstone platform will become the best choice, and there are solutions to all kinds of problems.
Searching according to the needs, it only took a very short time for Tang Zhen to find the right tool.
There is a special helmet that can control the practitioner to act obediently according to the agreed rules.
If you violate the rules, you will be severely punished, or even lose your life.
The advantage of using a helmet is that the cultivation base is not limited, and it can even be increased to a certain extent.
The identity of the user will be concealed and cannot be deliberately disclosed to outsiders, otherwise the same will be punished.
Do things according to the rules, and act as a tool person obediently, and you will be able to ensure safety.
Valley
The problem was easily solved, and the cornerstone platform did not disappoint.
Consuming one thousand taels of silver, ten helmets were successfully purchased, and it was another price sale.
Tang Zhen has been able to confirm that the price of the cornerstone platform is quite cheap for all items that are imprisoned and enslaved.
It seems that he deliberately encouraged Tang Zhen to enslave his enemies a lot.
Tang Zhen was not very interested in enslavement. He preferred to have loyal subordinates rather than forcibly enslaved enemies.
It's okay to do it occasionally, but not all the time.
Tang Zhen entered the building and saw many candidates lining up to go to their respective rooms.
There are many rooms in the second-level building, which can easily accommodate 100,000 residents, even if it is doubled.
In addition to residential areas, there are also some special areas that must have corresponding permissions to pass.
Compared with the rudimentary first-level buildings, the second-level buildings have become intelligent, and Lou Ling is responsible for controlling the operation.
The prison in the second-level building is built in a secret area. Not only can you not enter without permission, but you can't even find the entrance.
Encountering a thick wall, Tang Zhen walked straight ahead, and the wall blocking the road automatically separated.
A passage appeared, leading to the hidden prison, which held the captured monks from both sides.
No shackles, but freedom of movement, no problem drinking tea or reading.
Do not destroy the environment or you will be punished.
Seeing Tang Zhen walk in, a group of monks stood up to greet him, secretly guessing the purpose of his coming here.
The cultivation base was completely imprisoned, and life and death were allowed to be manipulated. All the monks were uneasy at the moment.
Until now, they didn't know Tang Zhen's identity, nor did they know how to resolve the crisis.
Now that Tang Zhen took the initiative to come, it is actually an opportunity. After the two sides communicate and negotiate, there may be a possibility of getting out of trouble.
Backed by their respective camps, the cultivators also had a certain confidence that they were qualified to negotiate with Tang Zhen.
Lu Yunzhen smiled and seemed to not mind his own situation, just like a virtuous and elegant scholar who was always calm.
Tang Zhen had already experienced his hypocrisy before, but he still responded with a smile.
However, the ridicule in his eyes made Master Lu Yun's expression stiff, and there was a gloomy flash occasionally.
Du Huo Zhenren was in the most corner, still with an old face, looking at Tang Zhen viciously.
Before the dog urinated his head, Poison Fire was almost mad.
He knew very well in his heart that the wild dog was just being manipulated by an illusion, and it acted as a tool for Tang Zhen to retaliate for his guilt.
Although he was very clear in his heart, there was no way to retaliate.
Tang Zhen's strength was enough to make all the monks vigilant. Even if his cultivation base was not imprisoned, he would ask himself that he was not Tang Zhen's opponent.
This kind of revenge is just thinking about it now, and there is no possibility of achieving it.
Seeing that Tang Zhen's eyes were swept over, Venerable Poison Huo snorted coldly, and then turned his eyes away with a guilty conscience.
As a veteran cultivator, he wouldn't make low-level mistakes and bring shame on himself in this situation.
Tang Zhen stopped in the hall, and the voice sounded.
"The environment here is normal. Please don't mind. If you have special needs, you can also take the initiative to speak."
The monks snorted inwardly, they didn't care about the quality of the environment, and they didn't lack anything, all they wanted was freedom.
At the same time, it is also clear that Tang Zhen is the opening remark, and then he will enter the main topic.
As soon as the thought came up, Tang Zhen made it clear.
"I am here at this moment, just for one thing, let you act as airship escorts.
This is not a request, but an order, who agrees and who refuses? "
Tang Zhen smiled and said the purpose of this trip.
The faces of the cultivators changed. They didn't expect Tang Zhen to make such a request, and his attitude was so arrogant.
You can tell from the tone of voice that if anyone dares to refuse, Tang Zhen will definitely retaliate.
Zhenren Lu Yun was silent for a few breaths, and couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you afraid of offending the northern border of the Southern Alliance for doing this, Your Excellency?"
