Chapter 340 African Farming Simulation (3)

A month has passed since Professor Al Jomero and his assistant settled in the village.

At first I had only planned to stay for a few days, but there was so much to see that I began to forget about the rotting axe in the fresh air.

“Professor, it’s been over a month since we got here. When do you plan on going back?”

“What? It’s already been over a month? I feel like it’s only been three or four days.”

“Today is the 33rd day, Professor.”

“Hey, I’d like to move here. Should I bring my family?”

“Professor, what about school? You’re not going to live like the other residents here, farming or anything, are you?”

“Yeah. I guess I have nothing to do here.”

Currently, the villagers depend on the work provided by the swimming farm robots.

The salaries were paid in euros, which was twice the original amount of income, so the residents were very satisfied.

“But I don’t know if it’s okay to build a village like this and live there. What is the ownership of the land here?”

“You didn’t know that, Assistant? This whole area was bought by the Swimming Federation.”

“Oh, is that so?”

“Yes. That’s why the corrupt government officials can’t say anything.”

They say words become seeds.

Coincidentally, on this day, public officials came from outside to inspect the residents’ living conditions.

They said they were inspecting, but there was a clear sign that they were looking around, wondering if there was anything to tear down.

But as soon as the officials demanded a bribe, a 40-foot-long Raygun drone called the Sparrow appeared like a ghost.

“This is an extraterritorial territory. Your actions could cause a fatal diplomatic conflict between the Republic of the Congo and the Federation of the Republic of the Congo.”

When the railgun muzzle was pointed at them, the officials ran away in panic.

* * *

The size of the village has grown considerably in the past month.

The number of residents has now exceeded two thousand.

Oddly enough, there was no shortage of modular homes.

The robots always kept a spare set of empty modular homes, which they would give to new settlers when they arrived.

The modular home that Al Zomero and his assistant are using was also a new home that was left empty for that purpose.

‘What on earth is the purpose of the Swimming Federation?’

I heard that the village wasn’t formed only here.

The swimming farm covers an area measuring 100km in length and width, and has many small villages formed around the outskirts in the east, west, south, and north.

The farm was completely unmanned.

There was no sign of the Swimming Federation, nor was the famous Android Freedom deployed.

Only non-humanoid robots, such as unmanned tractors, unmanned combines, and unmanned drones, were constantly roaming the farm.

Security was excellent.

When it seemed like a fistfight was about to break out between residents, a flying drone would appear like a ghost, watching from somewhere, and give a warning.

It wasn’t a Sparrow railgun drone, but rather a pest control drone the size of a soccer ball that used lasers to hunt pests.

‘The large railgun drones are only used to repel external intruders. There’s no need to use them for internal security crackdowns.’

No one knew how powerful a pest-killing laser was, because no one had ever experienced it.

The residents did not want to be banished from this paradise, so they obediently followed the control of the Sheriff Drone (as they began to call it) no matter how tense the atmosphere became.

The residents worked mainly on farms.

In one corner of the farm there was a small separate area not serviced by farm robots, where farming was done using regular farm equipment.

They used hand-operated farm implements that did not have engines, and spread fertilizer using fertilizer buckets they carried on their backs.

However, the plowing of the farmland was done in advance by an unmanned tractor pulling a plow.

Professor Al Zomero saw this and asked the sheriff drone this question:

“Why do we have to farm with traditional hand tools?”

“It’s in case we have to withdraw someday. It’s hard to get high-tech tractors or combines here. Maintenance is also difficult. So the residents have to learn how to manage the farmland we cleared with their bare hands in the worst case scenario.”

“Withdrawal? Is withdrawal planned?”

“That’s not true. We will continue to farm here. But if the government tells us to leave, we will have no choice but to leave behind only the land.”

The idea is to teach residents how to become self-reliant in case of the worst.

Although Al Jomero was relieved that the swimming farm robots would not leave, he was saddened by the fact that he could not guarantee that the worst-case scenario he had just described would never happen again.

‘The current president tolerated the excessive military presence at Suyeong Farm because he needed food to stabilize his regime. But there is no guarantee that the next president will do the same.’

Whether it is a legitimate succession or a coup to seize power, the next president may covet the rich swimming farm and try to swallow it all up in one gulp. The swimming group is already preparing for such a situation.

“Preparing for a famine when you are at your most prosperous is the farmer’s attitude… …

Al Jomero looked back at the street.

Our homeland has been exploited by the West, including Europe, for a long time, and is still being exploited today.

But in this small town, Al Jomero saw new hope.

“AI Sheriff, is there anything I can do here?”

“New workers are always welcome. Since you are an intellectual, please work as an educator for children. We will also provide separate support so that you can continue to study your original major.”

Al Jomero was a botanist. That’s why he was more interested in the swimming farm than other intellectuals, and he came all the way here himself.

A modular school building was created immediately.

Robots with thick, sturdy metal arms have been shown to be more efficient at construction than human laborers.

Al Jomero had an in-depth discussion with the AI ​​Sheriff Drone about the educational policy that will be implemented in the village.

“Please foster scientific thinking and humanistic knowledge at the same time.”

“Religious references are not permitted in the curriculum. For example, statements such as ‘It is the Lord’s will that you can study comfortably like this’ are not permitted.”

“I’m not religious anyway, so it doesn’t matter, but can you tell me why you’re managing it so strictly? I need to explain it to other teachers in advance when I want to bring them in later.”

“The Suyeong Federation is a nation with the Jushin religion as its state religion. It worships the father of His Excellency Marshal Ha Suyeong, Jushin, as the sole absolute being.”

Al Jomero was embarrassed.

It was honestly the first time he had heard this story.

Is it true that a country that seems to follow only an absolutely scientific viewpoint is a religious country?

“Of course, the Federation guarantees freedom of religion. However, it does not provide welfare or other benefits to those who spread ‘rival religions’ within the Federation’s territory or sphere of influence.”

“If there is someone who comes to our church and then goes around preaching to other churches or religions, we should be thankful that we don’t kick them out. I understand.”

When I heard it, it was such an obvious story, and also an important story.

‘There was a state religion. Why isn’t it known in detail?’

Al Jomero went to Wikius just in case.

Wikius, which has been around for only a few years, boasts a vast amount of document data to the point of being called a Wiki collaborator, and responds immediately to vandalism, incorrect information, and subjective interpretation through thorough monitoring by business entities.

‘As expected, the national religion section is empty. It wasn’t just me who was mistaken. It was something that wasn’t known to the world.’

As he was about to pass over it, Al Jomero suddenly realized something strange.

‘Wait? The nationality section is empty?’

He quickly searched for documents from several countries, including the United States and Saudi Arabia.

Countries with a state religion are marked as “State religion: Christianity,” but countries without a state religion do not even have a “state religion” section.

However, although the Swimming Federation had a ‘state diplomacy’ section, the content was blank.

I searched dozens of countries and it was the same.

The only country whose diplomatic relations were left blank was the Suyeong Federation.

‘This implies that the Federation of Koreas has diplomatic relations with the state, but does not want to make that fact widely known. But who knew about this and wrote about it? Since Wikius does not correct this, does that mean Wikius also knows about this fact?’

And then Al Jomero found out the truth.

“Wikius is a wiki service created by the Swimming Federation… …

For some reason, I felt a little empty.

* * *

The village where Al Jomero settled continued to grow.

He encouraged his family to move, but they were already well-established in the capital and refused.

From Al Jomero’s point of view, it was just a pity.

“The food here is so delicious. And the water is so clean… …

Electricity is very cheap, and even the internet is super fast and free.

Citizens of the Congolese capital who have not visited the area in person may wonder why they would live in such a remote rural area.

But the satisfaction felt by residents went beyond that of middle-class families in the capital.

The meals served at the distribution center did not have many varieties, but they were top-notch in terms of taste and nutrition, and the menu changed with each meal.

The village was clean because the water and sewage facilities were well-equipped at the time of its construction, and it was easy to obtain clean water.

Above all, what residents are most satisfied with is the online grocery store.

At the grocery store mall, residents could use the Euros they received as their monthly salary to buy the items they wanted, and they could have them delivered within a week at the latest.

Because the basic infrastructure was well-developed, the quality of life was actually better than that of the wealthy class in the capital.

Here, sheriff drones even act as doctors.

For illnesses that could be treated with medicine, medicine was provided at a low price.

If a patient needed surgery or hospitalization, they were transported by doctor helicopter to a hospital ship in the Arabian Sea.

The people recognized that a miracle had come to them.

And they did not show gratitude to the god they originally believed in.

They regarded Ha Su-yeong, who had bestowed this grace, as a living god and prayed, reciting his name.

* * *

The dozens of villages, large and small, located on the outskirts of the swimming farm in the Republic of Congo have now grown to a total population of over 100,000.

This number was equivalent to 1/56th of the entire population of the Republic of Congo.

So far, the Congolese president has not paid much attention to the migrants.

From the dictator’s point of view, they were the poorest class in the Republic of Congo, a class that had to invest more than it produced and had very poor cost-effectiveness.

It was a good thing for the city’s citizens that the poor, who had a negative impact on the city’s public safety, were able to settle down and live among themselves around the farms.

Above all, the administration had no idea exactly how many residents were living near the swimming pool or how much was increasing.

Similar things have happened in other West African countries where swimming farms have advanced.

* * *

It has been 60 days since the West African swimming farm sowed the seeds.

Leaders of each country expressed both surprise and joy at the news that the harvest was complete.

The President of the Republic of Congo was also very pleased.

“No, is it possible to harvest wheat in 60 days? Doesn’t it usually take 7 months?”

“In advanced countries, they use technology that allows them to sow seeds and harvest them within 90 days by pre-treating them with low temperatures and light to make the ears emerge quickly. Since Suyeong Farm is at the top of its field in agriculture, it seems that harvesting them in 60 days was not impossible.”

“So what was the harvest?”

“1 million tons of corn, 200,000 tons of wheat, and 30,000 tons of cassava. They say they do six crops a year, so the Suyeong Farm alone can feed all the people of our republic.”

“But did the swimming group say they would distribute it directly? Or did they say they would release it into the market through government purchase?”
