Will Beast Ear Girl Encounter Alien Ranch Story?

This thing was snatched from the Ursas military before, and with the exhaustion of parts, it is almost finished, and the guerrillas can't get liquefied source stone fuel that can be used as fuel.

According to Xia Lin, the origin stone is a high-energy material. After liquefaction and refining, it is a liquid that emits a blue-blue shimmer. It can be used as a power source when it is injected into a special origin stone engine.

Conventional Originium power generally relies on the driver's Originium skills to activate and operate. Relatively speaking, the engine structure is simple and cheap, but the driving time is short and it is prone to instability.

The advanced source stone power uses etched source stone parts, which is equivalent to an automatic spell-casting structure. Users only need relatively simple source stone skills to control it, and even almost no source stone skills, such as the city mobile module power core and so on.

As for the kind of equipment that can generate electricity by itself without anyone operating it, it is a very precious ancient product. Basically, more than half of it comes from archaeological excavation and restoration, and a lesser half comes from the imitation of large enterprises such as Black Steel and Rem.

By the way, they were able to imitate it because they had large mobile factory equipment dug out of the ground similar to Rhode Island land ships.

If you ask a person on this planet how the mobile city modules came about, he will answer that the small ones are made in big cities, and the modules in big cities will be made in industrial cities in countries like Victoria. When it comes to how the industrial city module came about, then the answer will probably be very unified—it was dug out of the ground!

Chapter 19 White Rabbit Mushroom Tea

The camp located in the valley sheltered from the wind looks very crude. Most people can only dig a hole in the ground and build a hut with crossed branches to sleep, but the soldiers of the Shield Guards can only squeeze several people into a dilapidated roof. inside the small tent.

There is a natural spring in the valley, but unfortunately the water output is not much, just enough for drinking and cooking, so everyone looks dirty and sloppy, and emits a wonderful smell.

The number of infected people following the patriots plus the soldiers of the shield guards has exceeded [-], which is not a small number. It takes a lot of energy and manpower to manage such a large group of people whether it is daily management or responsible for their eating and drinking.

And the supplies they consume are also an astronomical figure. Even if the infected people spontaneously formed hunting teams and gathering teams, the wild vegetables and animals that gradually enriched with the arrival of early summer can be regarded as a little relief from the food crisis, but compared to their consumption Still can only be said to be a drop in the bucket.

On the soft land around the spring, some infected people who know how to farm work are opening up the land, preparing to grow some fast-growing vegetables and food for long-term residence. Unfortunately, the patriots and every shield warrior know clearly that this is just A phantom of hope.

Because with the arrival of early summer, the Ursas army, which has been dormant for a winter, will be active again, encircling their rebels and those guerrillas who attacked the mine, as well as bandits from all walks of life, whether they are infected or not group.

There are even some wealthy free folk villages and towns that are on the target of those Ursus soldiers, which means that the Patriot troops must frequently change places and take the initiative to attract the attention and interference of those Ursus troops Their organized capture and massacre of the infected.

Under such circumstances, it is impossible to move with thousands of infected people, and they don't even want to take root here. Whether it is the mobile villages and towns that are migrating or the mobile military station of Ursas, they are all familiar with the water source here. and safe haven.

Therefore, the team had to evacuate soon, and according to the previous practice, these infected people were usually arranged in relatively hidden places explored by the scouts, forming small strongholds of infected people, or placed in those who were still willing to accommodate infected people. mobile villages and towns.

It’s just that compared to the northern wilderness with a better mass base, the situation in the south is much worse, and the hostility of the locals towards the infected is also more serious. This can be seen from the encounters between Tallulah and the integration movement in the future. come out.

This is a spiral of hatred exploited by the upper-level manipulation, using the contradictions among the people to deal with the people, comparable to the vertical cut of identity in Europe and the United States, and preventing these people from uniting to overthrow their rule.

Those glamorous mobile cities are all built on the corpses of countless infected miners and the rat-like civilians in the lower area. If this method is not used, the flames from the lower layers will eventually burn the entire Terra. society.

On Earth, in the face of an established thermal weapon army, the resistance of people lacking equipment can still make the ruler terrified, but Terra is a world that lacks sufficient thermal weapons, and the origin stone skills of the lower classes are no better than those of the upper classes. How much the Chinese army can easily bear, their destructive power is better than that of the earth people.

Under such a spiral of hatred, such a large group of infected civilians is really a headache for the patriots. They cannot keep up with the movement speed and mobility of the troops, and they cannot have a chance to gain a foothold. Abandoned by shield troops, they might even become bandits under the pressure of survival.

This will further worsen the situation of other infected people, and even the shield guards themselves will be hanged a little bit in this wasteland. There is no better way, and the integration movement seemed to have a little sense and feasibility, at least at the time.

"Father, we're back." Ivan walked into the patriot's tent. The burly man covered in armor and a cloak didn't speak, but turned his face to Ivan's direction and looked at him quietly.

"We have brought a batch of insulation and fabrics, the same farmer I mentioned to you last time"

"Insurance?"

"At present, it is still trustworthy. He also has an infected girl under his command. I have not found any traces of abuse."

"Very good." The patriot nodded. This is the only good news in the near future. A farmer who sympathizes with or at least does not reject the infected may consider placing some of the infected who cannot move with the troops there.

However, this undoubtedly requires a huge debt of favor, and no one likes to be encumbered by a large group of people for no reason.

On the snowfields of Ursas, people are the least valuable resource, especially in the farther north. In a bad harvest year, a young and beautiful Ursas girl may be worth half a bag of potatoes and can get her Buy her from her parents.

And the other party may not even give him this face at all, and he doesn't want to give this favor. After all, according to Ivan, this may be an armed farm of a large company. There is no shortage of force, and patriots will not try to use violence. Come and threaten or attack and rob such farms.

Perhaps other infected guerrillas will do this, but compared to them who lack insight and political experience, patriots know that in addition to turning their few friends who hardly exist into enemies that already have many headaches, Nothing works.

It will even cause the treatment of the entire group of infected people to collapse. He cannot prevent other infected people from doing so. After all, it is too difficult to persuade a group of people full of hatred to let go of their hatred and face the harm of others with a smile, and it has also been proved that there is no It's useless, but at least you can restrain yourself from doing this.

"The new transaction requires me to put it here." Ivan put the stack of papers aside, "Dad, the hunting team has injured a few more, we... lack medicines, food, equipment and clothing, More precisely, we lack everything except people.”

"No." The patriot knew what he wanted to say, but he shook his head. A certain threat might allow the farmer to take in some of the infected people and provide more supplies, lowering the transaction price.

But will the shield guards stay here forever?This is impossible.

In this way, it is useless except to attract the hounds of Ursus, and everyone is finished. Once they leave, will the coerced farmers still treat the infected with the current neutral and even friendly attitude?

"He said to hire some people?"

"Yes, he meant that he has been working more recently and needs some help, but he doesn't trust us, so he uses this method..."

"That's how it is, let them go out for some activities." Patriot nodded.

It will not consume the current meager trust and goodwill, and each can get what they need. The infected can get urgently needed medicine and clothing, and the other party can also leave some busy peripheral work to them.

Outside the farm, on the edge of a clearing in the forest, Xia Lin inserted a road signpost, and then took out two wooden stakes and a board from the truck, "Yelena, bring me the toolbox."

The "good" girl swiftly pulled out the toolbox from under the cab, and trotted behind Xia Lin with it.

This white rabbit became more and more comfortable to use. Xia Lin almost left all kinds of chores, from serving tea and water to carrying bags and tools, to taking care of animals and simple farm work, and Yelena seemed to enjoy it. This feeling of being dependent.

This made her feel that she was worth being wanted, and that she really became a part of the farm, not a guest who might be kicked out at any time.

"Give me the nails." Xia Lin inserted the stake into the ground, and when it was stable, she held the stake with one hand and asked Yelena for a box of simple nails. She clamped the nails between her left fingers and held a small hammer in her right hand. "Hold some boards"

"Bang, bang, bang!" With several successive hammerings, one side of the plank was firmly nailed to the stake, and then the other side was nailed to the top of the plank with a horizontal thin plank, made of a standard piece of wood. The bulletin board is complete.

Xia Lin took out a large stack of waterproof paper from the satchel, and nailed them to the bulletin board with thumbtacks. On it were the things she needed help recently and the promised rewards, including logging, clearing gravel, shrubs, etc., the work area It has been circled with different colored ropes and small wooden poles.

Although Ivan is clearly literate, Xia Lin still attached a very clear and clear picture. After the white rabbit test, a teenage kid who is considered to be a proficient in writing can understand it.

Although the rice is not yet mature, it is just a row of crisp seedlings, and it has just entered the first leaf division stage, but you can’t wait for your seeds to grow before opening the ground, just like cooking can’t wait until you are ready It's like building a new pot.

What is circled is the standard 667 mu of land, that is, 1.5 square meters of land per mu.In addition to the basic cleaning of tree roots, gravel and bushes, it also includes the work of digging irrigation ditches. This land is about [-] kilometers away from the farm, so that a large number of people will not gather around the farm. tragedy.

The tools were provided by Xia Lin. After getting a batch of scrap iron and stuffing them into the furnace, there was no big problem with the farm tools. Even if someone took the tools and ran away, he didn't care. on those people.

The food as reward is the nutritious biscuit that was reminded by the white rabbit. The felled shrubs, sawdust, algae, chicken manure and feathers from the farm are all stuffed into the decomposition tank, and the organic biomass obtained from the decomposition is re-synthesized Nutritious biscuits are hell food for Xia Lin.

But for those hungry infected miners who lack food, it is delicious food. Of course, it is normal for people living in a developed interstellar society to not think of this, but it took so long for the white rabbit to think about it, which shows that she seems to have Learning is bad.

After all, it is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal. At the beginning, she also thought that nutritious biscuits were the best food she had ever eaten, but it didn’t take long for her to empathize with fried potatoes and mashed potatoes. , and now even potatoes are not enough, only egg tarts and fried chicken can move her.

"Okay, let's go back~" Xia Lin ordered her order and greeted Yelena. They still have a lot of things to do when they go back. First of all, they need to dig a new and larger reservoir to raise fish.

Relying on artificial efforts, Xia Lin has successfully dug a 3X3 meter deep pit near the outlet of the workshop, and it needs to be further enlarged to 1X10 meters to make the first Throw in batches of bred fry.

When the materials and labor are enough to open a small reservoir, the fish in the fish pond can be moved to the reservoir, so that the scale of farming can be further expanded to the extent that it can undertake industrialized food processing.

After returning to the workshop, the two of them took the shovel and went straight to the construction site without much rest. Digging a hole without an excavator is a very laborious job.Yelena's stamina was much worse than Xia Lin's, but her arm strength was almost the same.

The sharp shovel stabs lightly into the frozen soil covered with gravel, and then is thrown outward, piled up on both sides of the pit.

Due to the lack of manpower to carry the accumulated soil, it has to be interrupted frequently to discard the soil in the corner and save it for later use in making synthetic soil.

The amount of earthwork for the two is maintained at an average of 1.5 cubic meters per hour per person. During the difficult and slow excavation, the total amount of earthwork is just over 30 cubic meters. It requires the two of them to work steadily for [-] hours without sleep, and dig four hours a day Based on the speed of the soil, it is expected to be completed in a week.

"Huh~" Xia Lin straightened up after finishing her work for a while, the sky was already showing a brilliant glow, as the temperature got warmer day by day, the weather in this place became clearer and milder, and all kinds of animals even dared to walk around the farm. A few days ago, a fat and strong rodent was caught, and it was trying to dig the corner of the greenhouse.

And the fate of such a daring species is to be thrown into the automatic processing equipment. After crushing and disposing of the source stone particles, it becomes a big bowl of minced meat. Xia Lin uses it to make a bowl of meatball soup. The two of them can eat it. I am very happy, and look forward to more small animals who throw themselves into the net and donate with their bodies.

"Want to drink water?" Yelena handed over her water glass, and Xia Lin took a sip without paying attention, "Well, what is this?"

“Mushroom Tea~”

"Mushroom tea?" Xia Lin looked at the unknown dried fungus inside, but why does the taste feel a little spicy? This rabbit seems to like to eat this kind of spicy and bitter food. This is to make himself a spicy rabbit head?

"Well, fermented mushroom tea, my father taught me before." At that time, they had just been thrown into the mine, and my grandfather had a little connection in Ursus, and he was not an infected person, so the attitude of the guards should be a little better Some.

At least one log cabin was still available to live in, with the light job of looking after the warehouse, but when my grandfather died, things went downhill.

"Mushroom tea.....this is a fermented mushroom bar!?" Xia Lin took another sip, then confiscated her cup and the "mushroom tea" inside, "What kind of wine do children drink!?"

He has a symbiont that decomposes the alcohol that enters the body, which makes drinking basically taste like drinking, and it is impossible to even get slightly drunk.Drunkenness will be judged by the symbiont as an abnormal physiological state and adjusted. If this function is disabled, you can get drunk, but the insurance will not be responsible for a series of consequences caused by it.

For example, if you drink too much and drive the spacecraft to the dispatching platform of the space station, or if you drink yourself to the hospital, etc., medical insurance and accident insurance are not responsible, especially the problem of medical insurance not being responsible is a bit serious.

As for the incidental criminal liability, not to mention, drunk driving is a felony in the Star Alliance. Of course, the drunk driving here refers to the kind that turns off the symbiont decomposition mode. If it is not turned off, it doesn't matter how much you drink. Be arrogant - the alcohol that breaks down is excreted through sweat, urine and breath.

"Ah, this..." Yelena was stunned, and stretched out her little hand to take back her water glass. This is the "fermented mushroom tea" that she made with great difficulty. It took her a lot of time to find the right mushroom. The precious free time of the day will be confiscated.

"You haven't reached this age yet, so I said it's confiscated. By the way, if you want to drink tea, we'll grow tea next, and I just happen to have some left."

Chapter 20 Black tea is black tea.

In the simple kitchen of the workshop, Xia Lin dug out a box of black tea powder from the pile of luggage. According to the label, it was ordered by the head of Colony No. 14. "Hey, it's still black tea native to the earth. The director is worthy of being a director, and he is rich!" The short white rabbit lay curiously on the edge of the kitchen table, looking at the black tea cans that Xia Lin took out from the seven or eight layers of packaging.

He bent his fingers and tapped the elegant and antique jar in his hand, making a crisp sound, "Did you see, the high-quality mahogany packaging box, built-in nano-scale moisture-proof net protection"

There are less than 5 taels of tea leaves in the box, which are black in color. It can be seen that it is authentic Lapsang Souchong black tea. The tea leaves of black tea are not red. In fact, because of the overall black color, it is also called "black tea". Tea".

Xia Lin carefully took out a half pack of two, and poured half into each of the two large glass water cups, for fear that the tea leaves would be scattered with a shaking of the hands.

Black tea is not considered a precious luxury in the Star Alliance, but it is native to the earth. There are only a few places on the earth that are suitable for growing black tea. If you remove the part that does not suit the water and soil, the rest will not be able to produce it all year round. It can be used by more than 400 billion people for daily consumption.

Not to mention that it is impossible to produce all seasons, so the price of the original black tea is basically the same as a luxury item. Xia Lin estimated that this box of stuff starts at least [-] star coins, and it may exceed [-] star coins if you are more sophisticated.

"Is this tea?" This is the first time Yelena has seen this kind of thing. Mushroom tea, pine needle tea, oolong tea and so on have all been seen. Although they are all called tea, everyone knows about the Ursas. It doesn't contain tea leaves at all.

"It doesn't smell like much." Black tea belongs to the three high-scented teas. The unique processing and fermentation process makes it have a very fragrant fragrance after brewing. However, in the state of tea leaves, the fragrance is not obvious, unless You go up and smell it.

"Is there any sugar in the black tea?" Xia Lin scratched her head a little, but after thinking about it, considering that the white rabbit is still a child, she might not like the original bitter tea, so she put a little maltose in that cup.

In order not to spoil the taste of the tea, he really just let it sit a little bit, and then he took a pot of boiling hot water and poured it into two cups.

The tea leaves rolled and floated with the light red tea soup, and the color of the tea soup gradually changed to bright red. The beautiful color like the sunset in the evening instantly attracted Yelena's eyes, and the rich fragrance diffused in the hot air.

"It smells so good~" The white rabbit carefully picked up the cup and touched it with his lips. It felt a little hot, so he hugged it in his arms, and squinted his eyes slightly intoxicated by the rich tea fragrance.

"This dog director will really enjoy it." Xia Lin complained silently, but the package of good things finally reached her mouth. Anyway, the dog director will get compensation from Star Fortune Company. Buy a box.

However, what Xia Lin, who has never cared about this kind of luxury, does not know that due to the extremely limited production and many people who buy it, the production area of ​​the earth implemented a strict regional quota sales system a few years ago, and the director took half a year to grab it. Got it.

In the private trading market, the price is more than eight times the official price. If you want to go to the lottery to buy it again, I am afraid that it will take two years to get the chance to get it. After two years, the price is estimated to increase by 30%.

"Well, it's a bit bitter and astringent." White Rabbit is not very used to the feeling of drinking tea for the first time, but after drinking it, the refreshing sweetness soon came back, accompanied by the rich tea fragrance, "Yeah, but it's pretty good."

"But that's it. Although I have tea here, I don't know if I can grow it. Forget it, let's try it." The tea is generally selected from mountain fields, and they are not picky about water and fertilizer, or in places with harsh environments. If it is not, the quality of the tea is better, but the output is pathetic.

It’s just that Xia Lin is not a tea merchant in the tea business, and if he is not picky about the yield, then it’s no problem. Then he will plant it around the spring, and then send a commission to Ivan and others to clean up the surrounding weeds and shrubs.

Originally thought that if it was ordinary tea, Xia Lin would make a tea egg to eat, but it turned out that it was such a high-end product or forget it, it was too extravagant, and he felt distressed if he put two more pieces.

This is like using real Longjing mother tree tea leaves to make Longjing shrimp. No one would do this kind of thing except sand sculptures to show off their wealth. It's such a waste.
