Will Beast Ear Girl Encounter Alien Ranch Story?

According to someone who did not want to be named, Shi Huaiya's body temperature is about 2~3 degrees higher than that of normal human women, and she can be used as a humanoid heater in winter nights. Of course, this means that her heat loss is higher than that of normal human beings. It should be at least 30% higher, even if there is a lot of fish and meat every day, there will be no problem.

What's more, she still has very strong muscle fibers and a batch with a high basal metabolic rate. Otherwise, if Yelena ate like her, her weight would have to fly into the sky.

"This problem, Lao Xia explained, because the mining industry is the main industry, supplemented by animal husbandry, the cost of vegetables and fruits is relatively high, they are expensive to sell, and the profit margin is high, so the local farmers and the paid media are in Promote this thing." Yelena complained.

The atrocity from Rem Billiton is a firm believer in vegetarianism, and even once almost clashed with other rabbits in the snow monster team. Those "Arctic rabbits" living in Ursas don't have so many messy habits, Ursus How can there be such a hypocritical diet in the land of Sars, stuffing everything you can eat into your mouth is the only way to survive.

"Then I forced her to eat meat. After throwing up a few times, it's not the same as eating rabbit heads and eating happily."

"Speaking of Rabbit Head, are you really going to raise rabbits here?"

"To be precise, they are the rabbits bred by Niu Xia. Normal rabbits can't eat those things." Yelena pointed to the mud moss and those things with excessive lignin. Turning wood, mud moss, rocks and messy garbage into nutrients or fertilizer” can also solve the domestic garbage problem of mountain people.

[Rabbits in nature also eat rabbits.jpg]

In fact, there are no real herbivores at all. Most herbivores eat meat whenever they can. Meat has a higher energy density and is easier to digest. It is only for herbivores with low combat effectiveness. Said that it is not easy to obtain, on the contrary, eating plants requires the help of intestinal flora to decompose in order to obtain energy.

Therefore, being a vegetarian is a lie made up by some unscrupulous media and capitalists. From rabbits to cows and horses to giraffes and other animals, all mammals and vertebrates eat meat if they can, but carnivorous nature requires a lot of metabolism They often cannot make ends meet because of hunting and time, so they mainly eat plants and occasionally open meat.

[Deer will eat birds, so will cows, rabbits will eat rabbits and other animal carcasses, giraffes will eat bones, almost all herbivorous mammals will eat bird eggs, insects and other animal carcasses, and horses, you don’t give If it eats meat, it won’t give you fat]

"I'm back, Yelena, prepare the lab, Beatrix, help me record it." Xia Lin put down the tool and muttered, "I should have listened to the senior if I knew it, and replaced it with a large neural memory expansion plug-in." "There is too much data and information, even with symbiotes and implants, he still feels dizzy.

"We should also change to a higher version of the thinking analysis enhancement module. The company's distribution is really not enough." I regret not listening to the old man, but if I listen to the experience of those old pioneers, I don't have to bear it on this trip today. Transcribe data to Terra's data storage with headaches and memory stack overflow warning labels.

The thinking analysis enhancement module can call the data and knowledge storage in the neural memory plug-in to accelerate the thinking analysis. It feels like the state of "spiritual thinking flowing like a spring" in a state of extreme excitement.

However, it can only provide partial logic analysis assistance, and cannot replace human thinking and thinking. It is just a pure accelerator-probably, overclocking the brain's thinking by about 20% is not too exaggerated.

The difference between the advanced version of the enhancement module and the "labor insurance version" issued by the company implanted on Laoxia's spine is that its processing thread is softer, and its performance is about 2%~3% higher than the public version. The intuitive change is that when you use it, you won't have the feeling that your brain is swollen and about to explode, and it is much more comfortable.

And the neural memory plug-in can expand the memory threshold of the human hippocampus, greatly strengthen the memory and memory capacity, and will not appear in the common human state of forgetting after reading. Without these technologies, no Star Alliance member can even think about graduating from elementary school. All are semi-literate in society - capitalists don't want this kind of labor.

According to the standards of normal humans or Terran people, Xia Lin has a standard memory. He can memorize any book knowledge after reading it once. He can understand and use it proficiently in a week at most. Otherwise, his professional courses... ..

Yelena originally planned to move forward with the goal of adopting a father, and then read the textbooks and learning catalogs proposed from Lao Xia's memory bank—she consciously chose to give up, feeling that if she did not undergo similar operations and embryonic-level genetic enhancement, she would not be able to read it. Graduating from junior high school is the ultimate.

Even Xiao Yang, whose intelligence has reached the standard of the Star Alliance to go to college, said that learning these things will be very difficult. She can understand and learn, but it does not mean that she can memorize and master it. This is a physical hardware limitation, unless Only by removing the same implanted symbiont and a large number of neural plug-ins can the real learning ability and research and development ability matching its intelligence be achieved.

"I said, do you really plan to let her learn your professional knowledge?" Shi Huaiya asked another question, referring to her daughter who has grown to 8 months old. Of course, the name has not yet been chosen, because The name and family can only be registered after "birth".

"Is there someone to pass on my knowledge?" Xia Lin was also very depressed when she mentioned this question. There is no one in Terra who has that ability. The only possibility is her descendants who have inherited half of it. Symbiont, and he also has a public version of the plug-in, which can reach the average learning ability of the Star Alliance.

However, it is only an average level. To reach the level of Lao Xia's undergraduate university, it is estimated... the chance is only one in a million.

After all, the Star Alliance deducts the top colleges and majors, and there are only about 70 to 100 million graduates of normal full-time universities every year. The top 400 million people out of 200 billion human beings can go to college, and only 60 of them % can successfully get the graduation certificate, and the rest can get the graduation certificate at most.

And what are these 200 million people going to learn?

Take Xia Lin as an example, the main subjects, they need to learn almost all branches covering the entire biological category, including alien biology, even paleontology and virology;

In addition, complex physical subjects such as astrogeology, geology, geophysics, meteorology, climatology, quantum mechanics and thermodynamics are also required, which are still compulsory.

The bunch of mechanical engineering and electronic engineering branches that are elective add up to an astronomical amount of study, not to mention that in order to collect credits, Xia Lin also elects rocket dynamics and aerospace engineering that have little to do with majors part of the branch.

And all of the above require a degree equivalent to a master's degree or higher in modern earth to obtain the minimum credits-generally speaking, at least half of them have a doctorate or even a doctorate supervisor's degree in order to successfully graduate.

Even for Johnny, as a crew member, he had to obtain some degrees in astronomy, astrophysics, interstellar navigation, starship engineering, electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering before graduating from a vocational college equivalent to a vocational high school.

Therefore, even in case of returning to the Star Alliance, his descendants will not become semi-literate and hard to find a job, Lao Xia has to prepare a reading catalog that is at least eight meters long for this unborn girl—— Fortunately, for Covenanters who are assisted by various plug-ins and symbiotes, learning is not too painful.

"It's really not possible, you can also let her study liberal arts." Compared with the knowledge iteration speed of science, the Star Alliance has not entered the interstellar era for a long time, and the interstellar wars in the middle have interrupted the social process, leading to the accumulation of social science. ...relatively much less and much easier to learn.

"Do you think that's easy?" Beatrix, who was reading Lao Xia's math textbook to see if he could learn economics at the high school level of the Star Alliance, began to feel pain in his head. It was already the easiest thing in the entire Star Alliance. Professional - economics.

A complete and highly planned economy has led to a high degree of regularization and rationalization of the entire economics. Although it cannot be said to be a "rational person model" in economics, at least it will not appear too much compared to the free market... .chaos.

As for sociology, it's easy to learn, and the problem you have to face after you finish it is... Anyway, no one in the entire Star Alliance, from AI to humans, can fully understand how their society works—although It works, but you just don't understand why there is a picture of a coconut that cannot be deleted.

Taken apart, every part of this huge civilization with 400 billion people and a territory of 3000 light-years is so logical and clear, when you put it together...

—Why is there a picture of a coconut here?Why must there be a pineapple over there to turn?Why is a single character correct, why is the output garbled? ——This is how it looks like with the programmatic description of Miss AI.

Chapter 69 title is traveling.

The sound of "rumbling" mechanical operation is like cascading thunder. The crawler-type giant machinery is slowly wriggling on the hillside, smashing the rocks, breaking the mountain, and cutting the steep and jagged rock mass into one after another. flat area.

With the help of Sarkaz workers, the mixer rotates fast and slow, turning the mixed sandstone powder, additives and the remaining soil into a softer part, which is sprayed on the mountain by a leather tube.

The hired mountain people use metal rakes to finely screen the rock powder and the preliminary mud. This mud is composed of gravel, rock powder, inorganic salts and other components, and normal plants can hardly survive on it.

And some places with relatively thin gray soil are covered by layers of film, "you need to pay attention when sprouting, not too much, too much hyphae will compete with each other for nutrients, and not too little, too little can not build carbon Nitrogen cycle" Xia Lin took a lot of bottles and jars and explained something to the bewildered mountain people in front of him.

"The ratio of carbon-decomposing bacteria to nitrogen-fixing bacteria is 1:2, and the interval is 10 cm"

These are the primary microorganisms he created using the tree of life system, using some Zerg technology and patents. For the agricultural experts of the Star Alliance, this is a common public technology. Of course, there is no need to pay patent fees, because that race is gone. , destroyed by the Covenant, along with their slime planets.

"I made a fool's pack for you. Remember that the red bottle is once, the blue bottle is twice, and the length of each grid is checked once. It's very simple, right?" What the people lack most is manpower.

As for those mud-covered places, more powerful species are needed to solve them, and Xia Lin has the corresponding bacteria and biological information, which are prepared for the real desert planet.

"Is it possible to grow food in this way?"

"No." Xia Lin shook her head, "It will take at least five years before you can plant the simplest plants. However, the rock terraces can be done earlier, but we still need to input fertilizers to make humus, and I need to add rapid decomposition. Parts of lignin and plant debris."

"Also, your sanitation system has already started construction, right? If I catch someone defecating indiscriminately, I can only inform your chief."

Xia Lin looked at these people speechlessly. You must know that human beings, as advanced animals with extremely high energy consumption, are an effective biomass transfer and manufacturing machine. The digestive system is what makes fertilizer and new soil.

To be honest, the easiest way is to transport the soil from the Sati Oasis. However, it will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause, not to mention the need for a lot of transport capacity, and it can only pave the mountain with a meaningless thin layer of soil.

Therefore, Lao Xia’s plan is to transform the mountain with the best condition first, build a batch of mountain fields with feces, bio-waste, fertilizer from the train line and some initial synthetic mud, and dig a large number of karst caves to use the mountain to filter and store water , keeping fish and mushrooms in it.

At the beginning, only fungi can be planted, and then you can use desert modified palm trees, a kind of alien improved plant, followed by wood enzyme microorganisms, which can decompose palm trees into new humus, and then barren-resistant thorn shrubs , palm wood, moss fungus, protein synthesis slime mold, and thorn shrub cycle for five years in sequence.

Nitrogen in the atmosphere, carbon in rocks and fertilizers, and other inorganic salts will be gradually decomposed and synthesized into organic matter, which will be precipitated. After five years, the improved Ursas sedge can be planted.

It took Laoxia more than 3 years to improve the moss, and it has been doing this since the first year it landed in Usas. The cold and frost resistance genes of the moss were crossed and edited with the high-yield wheat of the Star Alliance. In the end, it was now widely planted on the Ursas farm, and even the Ursas Empire introduced the "Moss No. 7" crop at an astronomical price after reaching a cooperation agreement.

The average yield per mu is about 670 kilograms. On the black soil of Usas, it can be harvested twice a year. The summer harvest is more than 600 kilograms, while the winter harvest is only about half, that is, 300 kilograms. With the help of greenhouses and greenhouses, the maximum It can reach 80% of the harvest in summer.

In other words, the annual output of only 200 kilograms of smolt has now grown to nearly 1000 kilograms, which has greatly eased Ursas' desire for expansion and the ability to survive in the snowfields.

And the defect is not without it. The consumption of manpower is particularly large. Although this kind of crop is resistant to cold and frost, it can also grow under the snow layer, and even the root system can penetrate the permafrost layer to absorb nutrients, but it is not very resistant to pests, diseases and bacteria. , The root system soaked in water is extremely easy to rot, so a lot of manpower is needed to regularly clean up the snow, otherwise when the snow melts, all the crops in the entire farmland will die and rot.

It claims to be a powerful improved grain crop that can grow on glaciers, but that is just an exaggeration. Glaciers and snow-capped mountains are really not good, but the snowfields below are actually fertile black land.

When planting moss wheat, another unprofitable land-growing plant needs to be rotated here, which comes from the fluorescent slime fungus provided by the Agor people. The Agor people use it for lighting and landscape, and this side is used to deal with the Land salinization and compaction caused by planting crops and using a large amount of chemical fertilizers. At the same time, the slime mold itself will become new humus after apoptosis.

In this way of rotation from year to year, the first barren hill becomes a terraced field where at least some undemanding vegetables and crops can be planted, and then the organic matter and products produced by it can be used to improve the next barren hill. In theory, at most It will take 30 to 40 years for the entire central mountain area to return to its original state, and even forestry development can be carried out.

"Understood, we listen to you." The mountain people don't think these behaviors are useful, but they will still obey orders when the other party provides enough food and supplies-accept employment, obey orders, obtain The reward is their folklore and history—the obedience and prestige that permeate every one of them.

Compared with the current barren mountain reconstruction plan that is useless and effective except for wasting manpower and material resources, other projects led by doctors have brought changes to the mountain people that are visible to the naked eye.

First of all, the railway, which finally got under the settlement of the mountain people, and to be honest, caused some bad disturbances at first. They thought it was a symbol of outsiders trying to conquer and plunder.

Those metal monsters roared along the track, disturbing the souls of their ancestors, and breaking the balance and tranquility of the mountain, but... soon this view disappeared, if only to build a front line If the passing railway transports soldiers and supplies, the mountain people will definitely try their best to destroy this route.

However, if the monster came here with a large amount of high-quality grains, bacon, canned food and various food and necessities, and established a high-quality and cheap market, the mountain people would still be able to convince themselves to be flexible.

In addition to these necessary materials, fertilizers, synthetic soil, and construction machinery are also the main objects of transportation. These huge freight demands make the mountain railway station extremely busy and large in scale.

"Taxes are not allowed, but conscription is allowed. It's a strange insistence." The young Ursus officials who were newly assigned here were at a loss. Those who have gone are cannon fodder and gray cattle.

However, here in the mountains, it is impossible to even think about taxation, but when it comes to conscription, some young people sign up, and most of them bring their own weapons and armor. It seems that they have received quite strict military training, which is very Excellent soldiers.

"People here used to rely on serving as soldiers to support their families. If you want to recruit soldiers, of course they have no objection."

However, taxation is absolutely impossible. In the eyes of the mountain people, that little money is the resources for the young people in the clan to use their blood and lives to support their families. If you open your mouth and take part of it, it will definitely be rejected Take up arms against you as plunder and oppression.

"Training class, are you sleeping? We're not here to search for anything, whether it's property or soldiers, we don't need it, at least we can't take it now." The new clerk rolled his eyes, this guy looked completely clueless Ah, why do you still become a local official?

"Well, I understand roughly." The young bear man scratched his head, "That is to say, our purpose is to give things and let them get benefits, right? As for collecting taxes, it's for the people who come later."

This is the truth, if you want to take it, you must first give it. Therefore, the doctor and Lao Xia discussed that in the first five years, they never thought about getting any income or return from the mountain area, or even at least one of the things that could have been obtained. The division's elite mountain infantry were all abandoned.

"Although the days are getting better, they will change the current lifestyle of militarized and paramilitary training in every household. We can't quickly form an elite army, but, on the other hand, we can get a self-sufficient army at least Mountainous areas, and their discipline is not only used in the army, factories are also suitable places”

"It's not suitable for industrial development, is it?" Tallulah looked puzzled. As long as the mountainous area is suitable for industrial development, it would have been rid of poverty and become rich. How can it be like this.

"Yes, here is the biggest advantage." The doctor smiled, "There are many stones"

"What kind of advantage is this?" There are indeed many stones, but the locals wish there were fewer stones and more pits where there are still some things left to grow.

"Don't underestimate stones," the doctor reminded, "In the past on Terra, our cities were carried on mobile sites, and what we needed were strong, lightweight metals and carbon materials. What we need most, however, is now that we can interfere with natural disasters to a certain extent, weaken it and induce it, and we can build fixed cities like the ancestors of Terra."

"And for a stationary city, the cheapest and best material is... stone"

To be precise, rocks are processed into silicate, commonly known as cement, so the mountains with a large amount of high-quality silicate are the best sources of raw materials, and another resource that the doctor did not mention is also very rich-kaolin Rock, the main component of this off-white rock is: aluminum.

This is a natural sanctuary for the aluminum industry. In addition to aluminum, rare earth resources and clay are also very rich, which can be used to manufacture ceramic tiles, various rare earth refineries, and aluminum factories, and these are extremely polluting industries. A ghostly place that can't be polluted, except for the place that Lao Xia delineated to transform it into a planting area.

Most of the hills and mountains are bare rocks, and there are no groundwater resources. It can be said that waste water and gas are discharged casually. Of course, this is just a joke, because the waste water from rare earth refining and aluminum plants is very valuable, especially It was for Lao Xia who had the ability to handle it.

"Moreover, there is another resource here that is also very rich, and it just needs a little help to develop it." That is energy. The towering Fenshui Mountains are not without water.

On the contrary, because of the terrain, once the ice above melts, the water will form roaring rivers and waterfalls. The potential hydropower resources are quite rich, which can generate electricity and provide enough fresh water for the refining industry.

It’s just that in that case, artificial rivers need to be dug, and if artificial rivers are dug, it’s much easier to dig a dungeon with almost only stones than a place with piles of mud. At least you don’t have to worry about soil erosion and river embankment collapse, and you can use Explosives solve [-]% of construction problems.

"However, it is an exaggeration to guarantee irrigation water for the ice mining rink. If it is used to generate electricity, it cannot be done with that kind of furnace and heat pipes, right?"

"That's why Ms. Eyjafala is also here. She is going to use a new type of origin stone effect field resonance technology, which comes from the research results of the volcanic origin stone effect."

"Huh?" Using the origin stone effect field to transfer energy, the origin stone in the area enters a state of exothermic heat, accelerating the melting of ice and snow.

"Wait a minute, we use other methods to generate electricity, then melt snow water, and use snow water to generate electricity. Isn't this beyond our means?"

"Yes." The doctor nodded, and he did mean to take off his pants and fart, "But, do you want to understand it from another angle?"

"Another angle?"

"We paid the difference between the two types of power acquisition as consumption, and got an artificial river. If you think our goal is to generate electricity, then it is undoubtedly a loss. However, if you think our goal is to get a river that combines irrigation and If the river is used for water extraction by industry, and the hydroelectric power generation recovers a large part of the energy price paid, then it is a good deal."

"And the actual energy we obtain is actually..." It is also earned, but the doctor can't say it, the name of that energy is very...special-deuterium!

Lao Xia's equipment is not perfect, which means that sometimes his industry or the things he can make will seem ridiculous. For example, he has all the parts and technology to assemble a fusion reactor, and the arc engine is essentially a fusion reactor. Ignition device, but he does not have any equipment to extract and refine hydrogen isotopes from oceans and water bodies.

Even this set of equipment is not easy to buy even if you buy it from an e-commerce store in the Star Alliance, because the Star Alliance does not use this backward equipment for extracting deuterium and tritium from water.

Their deuterium extraction equipment directly uses the gravitational shunt method to sip from the gas giant planet. It has high efficiency, high speed, ideal purity and low cost. The output of an offshore deuterium extraction platform for a whole year is not enough for a gas planet mining station for a day. Yield.

Therefore, even under the network coverage of the Star Alliance, if Lao Xia wants to find this set of equipment, he has to go to an antique specialty store to find this kind of thing from three centuries ago. It may not be usable, no less than a modern person wants to buy The difficulty of a set of carriages or ox carts from the Song Dynasty.
