1823.Population Census (Part 1)
Duchy of Dawn, Modell Sector, Annaj Planet, Temporary City No. 2.
Carl-Kestis picked up the connecting piece of a modular housing and threw it accurately into the hands of Ferman who was standing on the second floor. Then Ferman installed the connecting piece well and pushed it hard to make sure that the wall in front of him was firmly installed.
"It's ready here!" Ferman said loudly, then he picked up the heavy installation tool with one hand and jumped down.
"Next is the roof. Muni has already passed with JG-091." Carl-Kestis patted the dust on his body and looked at the two-story house in front of him with satisfaction. "After finishing this house, I can get the reward again today! How about I treat you to a couple of drinks?"
Ferman laughed loudly, "Hahahaha! No problem, drink two more beers! I'm in love with this Duchy of Dawn specialty!"
At this time, on the other side, two other workers in the same group as them came over with a construction robot with the number JG-091 painted on its body.
The robot is holding a modular roof in its hand. However, although the robot is powerful enough, the roof is more than five meters square, and the robot's center of gravity is a little unstable when it is lifted. The two workers were also nearby to help with the balance.
There is nothing that can be done about it. This is how they work in the temporary city. Apart from some robots, there are very few advanced construction machinery. To put it bluntly, Duchy of Dawn officials are looking for trouble for them, which can be regarded as a work-for-relief method.
"Be careful! Don't let the roof fall!" Carl-Kestis reminded loudly, and he and Ferman ran over to help.
However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred!
The roof module lifted by the robot suddenly tilted and hit the light pole next to it. Then it suddenly slipped from the robot's hand and fell!
Seeing that the worker named Muni was about to be hit by a heavy roof module! Carl-Kestis His heart tightened, and he subconsciously shook his hand, but then let it go, and ran over to push the roof module to the other side with all his strength.
Bang!! There was a loud noise and the heavy roof module fell to the ground. Muni was hit hard and fell to the ground unconscious. Carl-Kestis was also brought to the ground by the module. A large piece of flesh was scratched on his chest and arms. Blood seeped out and dyed his clothes red. He also grinned in pain..
"Are you okay! Carl!" Ferman shouted loudly, "Call the doctor quickly!!"
Soon several medical robots floated over and sent the anti-gravity stretcher on the Muni platform to the hospital. Another medical robot floated over to Carl-Kestis and said, "Sir, let me take you to the hospital for examination."
"No! I'm not going to the hospital!" Carl-Kestis suddenly raised his voice, "I'm not going to the hospital! This is just a scratch!"
"According to the preliminary scan, your abrasion area totals 37.7 square centimeters, which is a serious trauma and needs to be treated as soon as possible," the medical robot said.
"I said no, no need!!" Carl-Kestis said loudly, "I have my own first aid spray! No need to go to the hospital!"
"According to Doctor-Patient Regulations Article 67, when the injury is not fatal, the patient's opinion shall prevail. Please pay attention to your health." After saying that, the medical robot ignored him and turned around and floated away.
Ferman then came over and asked with concern, "You really don't need to go to the hospital? You have a work-related injury, so you don't get paid for medical treatment. That means you don't get paid for the few days you go to the hospital."
"I don't need it!" Carl-Kestis looked a little anxious, "I exchanged a bottle of first aid spray for Homeworld, just spray it and it's fine."
Ferman frowned and asked, "You actually went to exchange for such a luxury thing? You must know that this is Umbrella Pharmaceutical Group's product, and exchanging a bottle is equivalent to one week's wages! No wonder you rarely went out to drink last month? What happened today was an accident. In fact, how dangerous is it for us to do such manual work on the highest two floors? Do we have to use first aid spray?"
Although the hospital treats work-related injuries free of charge, it is impossible for Duchy of Dawn to provide first-aid spray to temporary immigrants like them. When you go to the hospital now, most of the time it's just a very basic process of disinfection and hemostasis and bandaging.
"I..." Carl-Kestis hesitated, and finally said casually, "I don't like hospitals."
Because something happened, today's bonus was lost, and everyone left unhappy. Carl-Kestis returned to his residence, took off his blood-stained clothes, then took a shower to wash away the dust from his body, then disinfected the large area with scratched skin and sprayed first aid spray.
Worthy of being one of Umbrella Pharmaceutical Group's flagship products, first aid spray has become a popular personal first aid product in the galaxy because of its low price and easy portability. Compared with Bacta fluid, which has obvious effects but is very expensive and cannot be carried around, although the first aid spray can only perform the most basic first aid treatment, it has been proven that this thing can really save lives in critical moments!
As soon as Carl-Kestis the bleeding wound was stopped, and there was a numb and itchy feeling from the wound, it must have begun to heal.
Carl then breathed a sigh of relief and found a bandage to bandage it. Because he bandaged it himself, it was wrapped crookedly and could only barely cover the wound.
Then, he took his bloody clothes and washed them again and again under the running water until there was only a faint trace of blood on the clothes. After confirming that it was impossible to extract anything from them, he threw the damaged clothes into the trash can.
It has been two months since I came to this temporary city, and Carl-Kestis feels that I am almost used to the life here. Although manual labor in the morning and technical study in the afternoon is boring and very hard, this is exactly what he wants.
Jedi Order has been destroyed, Galactic Republic has also been reorganized into the Galactic Empire, and the emperor is Sith Lord Das-Sidious. However, the Duchy of Dawn where he is now is also the territory of another Sith Lord Archangel of Death. In addition, the media of Galactic Republic/the Empire have long smeared Count Dooku of Confederacy of Independent Systems, also calling him the evil and despicable Dark Lord.
In this way, the entire galaxy seems to have become Sith Lord's back garden! How can such a situation not make those Jedi Knight who survived feel desperate?
So... just find a place to spend the rest of your life...Duchy of Dawn Here, living a life of self-reliance may be surprisingly good.
The next day, after finishing their work in the morning, Carl-Kestis took advantage of the lunch break to go to the hospital with Ferman, and visited Muni, who was no longer in danger but had not yet woken up.
On the way back, Ferman suddenly said, "Have you heard? Population Census is about to start."
"Population Census?" Carl-Kestis was suddenly startled, "Aren't there a large number of immigrants coming here every day? It is said that hundreds of millions of immigrants have arrived in the past two months. It's such a mess, what kind of census are they doing!"
Ferman waved his hand and said, "Of course those officials have their own ideas! Haven't you noticed? Duchy of Dawn doesn't mind using robots on a large scale, which is different from Galactic Republic. Coupled with their centralized power, they can always achieve some miracles."
