Will Beast Ear Girl Encounter Alien Ranch Story?

The six or seven-month-old foals and calves were put into the newly fenced pasture on the east bank of the stream. The pasture hadn't grown yet, so Yelena had to carry a big iron bucket to add feed to them every day to avoid them Randomly nibbling on the young shoots on the ground.

The feed is mainly composed of algae, synthetic organic sauce, vitamin additives, and synthetic nutritional powder composed of bone meal, and then mixed with a certain proportion of fermented green feed for them to eat.

The two foals have grown much taller than Yelena, and they arched their heads on her body, trying to steal the feed in her hand. These two little guys are quite restless and lively, and they are extremely greedy.

In contrast, the two beef cattle and the two dairy cows were much quieter, standing quietly by the side of the trough, looking at Yelena with their heads tilted, like statues of four cows.

"Okay, okay" the white rabbit stretched out his hand and pushed the horse's face away, poured the contents of the iron bucket into the trough, and added a few handfuls of hay brought by the infected to complete the work, although the hay could not Provides the nutrition of the feed, but allows the little ones to take a moment to chew slowly.

Animals like horses have a very fast digestion speed, which can almost be said to be a dung-making machine that eats while pulling. Relatively speaking, cows have a more thorough digestion because of the rumination mechanism, and it is relatively slow, so it is not so troublesome.

However, wearing overalls for work, wearing big boots and carrying a pitchfork to shovel horse manure is unavoidable. Every time Yelena finishes this job, she has to take a good bath to get rid of the strange smell on her body Lose.

After a whole year of self-cultivation and exercise, Yelena now looks a lot stronger than before, and her face has a little rosy blood.

Little girls develop earlier and faster than boys, especially for a little girl like her who is eleven or twelve years old, no matter whether it is height, physique or strength, she will develop very quickly.

Therefore, boys at this age are usually physically stronger than girls of the same age, but relatively speaking, they will enter the stagnation stage earlier after the rapid development period ends.

But no matter what, now Yelena does have the appearance of a decent farmer's daughter, with a tall figure and strong and slender limbs. Due to long-term working outside, her face has become plump and rosy, and she is no longer the thin and small girl she was before. It looks like a very unhealthy sick cat.

However, I don't know if it's because of her natural talent, or because of the drugs that Xia Lin gave her to suppress the reaction of the origin stone. It seems that the ultraviolet rays didn't leave any traces on her body, and even Xia Lin was a little tanned. She still looks fair and fluffy.

Standing with children of the same age gathered by infected people, it seemed to stand out from the crowd, and it seemed to be a young lioness standing among a group of milk cats, so vivid that it could be seen at a glance.

Papa Maxim came here for the second time, and this time he brought more and more exquisite goods. After all, the people here seem to have great consumption potential. As a result, as soon as he drove into the radiation range of the farm, he I began to wonder if I was going the wrong way again.

A large area of ​​the original snow forest disappeared like alopecia areata, and turned into a large piece of fertile black field, covered with a film of unknown material, which made Maxim complain that it was too wasteful and could not see the meaning .

However, after driving in for a while, the trading station drove onto a standard machine farming road. The road made by bulls is quite flat and firm. Although it is not as good as the hardened road, it is also much more comfortable than the previous wild road. .

Along the road, Papa Maxim saw the so-called farm. The towering metal fence (actually carbon fiber) has a power grid to prevent climbing and browsing. The searchlight posts are still open during the day, and there are three greenhouses. Rounded ceiling and tower-like workshop body.

No matter from which angle he looked at it, he felt that the empire's prison was bigger than this place. Is that thing a farm?In fact, every infected person and visitor had the same thought when they saw Xia Lin's farm for the first time - what kind of prison or military station is this?

In the open space on the edge of the farm, a group of infected people are working profusely with sweat. The roar of the cutting machine and the sound of the nail gun can still be heard even after such a distance. During the slack time, in order to prevent these guys from getting drunk again Yes, Xia Lin took all the idle and boring people to help build new workshops and repair workshops.

Along the open space to the south of the farm are lined up, and the warehouses are built on the other side with insufficient manpower, forming a strange feeling of a workshop processing street.

Due to a large number of workers working in the field, as well as the processed wooden boards transporting the infected people, and food delivery personnel, in order to prevent the hungry beasts from causing trouble, the snow monster team consciously went around to set up traps and clean up without Yelena's words. Beast.

The patriots and shield guards have been trained in the construction of field fortifications and temporary machine repair yards in the Ursus army. Otherwise, what if their mobile depots and armored platforms fail?It has to be repaired, and a field camp is built.

Due to his rich experience, Patriot now looks like an ordinary contractor, holding a stack of thick blueprints in his hand, and the bright yellow hard hat provided by Xia Lin hangs around his neck—it’s not that he doesn’t want to wear a safety helmet. hat, but whoever designed it hadn't even thought about how a guy with horns would wear it.

Considering that this guy is a reformer after all, and it's not a high-rise construction site, it's hard to tell whether his head was smashed first or the brick was broken when a brick fell from above, so Xia Lin let this guy go.

After dressing up with another foreman, Xia Lin, who was wearing a helmet with the words "Safety First" written on it, chatted together for a while, Patriot raised his head and swept across the construction site, quickly raised his right hand to hang The brightly colored loudspeaker that he was wearing, roared in a hoarse and authoritative voice, "Rudolph! Put the gloves on!"

Other shield guards were also working while teaching these people how to use these tools, and how to build a camp quickly and well.

"Xia Lin, where do you put this thing?" The white rabbit trotted over carrying a stack of wooden boards, his little face was covered with a layer of dust, and his tender white hair was wet and tightly stuck to his face from the sweat of repeated running.

"Put it on the pile of wooden boards, go and see how much time is left for dinner in the kitchen"

"Okay!" The white rabbit put the boards on the place where the boards were stacked, and then ran back to the temporary rest camp not far away. A pair of strong and slender legs leaped and ran in the field, fully showing the girl's vitality and explosive power.

"Is this going to build a shopping street? Or a market?" Maxim stopped the trading station far away, and walked over under the watchful eyes of the farm security guards carrying hunting crossbows and hunting knives, "When are you going to open?" Bazaar? Shall I help you promote it?"

"Market? No, this is an ordinary workshop, there is a warehouse over there, and there is a repair workshop" Xia Lin said without looking back, and he had to stare at these pure amateur migrant workers (real migrant workers) live.

"Why is the workshop built on the ground?" A question mark popped up in Maxim's head. Are you afraid that it will be completely destroyed in a natural disaster?In fact, the infected people also have such doubts, but the tools, nails and other things that are consumed belong to Xia Lin, the wages and food are also his, and the land is still his, so what he says is what.

And looking at the situation of the farmer, it seems that they are not incapable of dismantling these things in a short period of time and loading them on the road, and the natural disasters in different places are different. The natural disasters here are generally snowstorms, and occasionally thunderstorms or rainstorms brought by flash floods.

The probability of earthquakes and ground fissures is very low, and volcanoes and tsunamis are almost impossible. The most troublesome thing is the origin stone meteorites that may be everywhere, but Xia Lin told them not to worry about this, so they don't worry about it.

In the case of a blizzard, the infected who have used the boards and cold-proof insulation materials provided by Xia Lin are calm, especially when Xia Lin is preparing to dig a biogas digester, there is sufficient fuel, and there are enough potatoes and freeze-dried vegetables in the cellar , The house is fully reinforced by that kind of black carbon material, and the blizzard is the blizzard.

In the case of thunderstorms, the Terrans also have lightning rods, and the farm can also process a large number of lightning rods and corresponding equipment to prevent thunderstorms and EMP at any time. In the Covenant equipment, anti-EMP and thunderstorm attacks are regarded as the basic design.

The flash floods are a little troublesome, but now there seems to be no sign of heavy rain, and there are no major rivers or mountains nearby. The probability of flash floods on that small hillside is really low. Even because the water output from the streams and springs is really limited, rice has started to be planted. When it comes to sugar cane, it is definitely not enough. Xia Lin is preparing to build a larger storage tank and build aqueducts from farther water sources.

The only thing left to worry about is earthquakes and ground cracks. However, the damage caused by that kind of thing is not too big, especially when there are no high-rise buildings and lightweight carbon materials and wood materials are used, it is difficult to correct the collapse. What damage does a strong Terran do.

Doubts belong to doubts, business belongs to business, Maxim is not entangled in this issue, he only cares about what these workshops produce, what they need, what they provide, and whether there is any profit to be captured.

"That's a wine workshop, we're going to make potato wine and several kinds of wine." The energy drink production line is inside the workshop, and Xia Lin doesn't plan to take it out, and these infected people can't play with that thing either.

"Here is a cannery and a fruit and vegetable processing center." Of course, there is no need for jams and simple canned luncheon meat to go through his automatic production line, only canned fruit and fresh meat that require troublesome disinfection and aseptic preservative treatment. It was produced in Xia Lin's workshop.

"In the future, it is possible to make dried fish, fish fillets and shrimp paste." Aquaculture has also started a long time ago, and now the second round of fry and shrimp fry is being released, and some freshwater shellfish are even released by bottom sowing.

"There is a sauce workshop over there, which produces sauces and condiments." "Oh, it's amazing!" Maxim's face was surprised mixed with joy, which meant that he could provide him with a large amount of food that was not stamped by the imperial tax officer. Cheap canned food, condiments, and drinks are hard currencies in the north of Ursas!

Maxim doesn't have to worry that the tax officials of the empire will stare at this place, causing the prices of these things to rise. Look at those well-equipped guys who claim to be hunters and security guards who are almost armed to the teeth. Those shrewd imperial bureaucrats only need to drink The vodka will not come until some incredible amount.

Not to mention, the bureaucrats of the empire are not fools. Not only will they not come to make troubles, but they will even let the Chamber of Commerce and White Gloves under their name come to make crazy purchases. After all, the tax belongs to His Majesty the Emperor, and the tax is cold and hot. , but the profit from the chamber of commerce opened by my family and even my wife is warm and comfortable!

Only a little bit of the means needed to eat and drink is enough to feed the officials, big and small. Of course, they dare not use too much, after all, these are not ordinary small factory owners and small nobles.

It’s okay to order canned food when you come to purchase or routine inspections, but if you want to blackmail, you have to see if their heads are hard or those "security" crossbow arrows are hard-according to the trial evaluation of the Patriots, if the empire was 20 years ago If equipped with this kind of crossbow and heavy crossbow, those guys in the south of Ursas would have no chance to jump.

Xia Lin doesn't mind introducing the new workshop here to Maxim at all. After all, the things here are all organized and realized. Some of them meet their own consumption and needs, and some need to be turned into other materials.

He urgently needs to get a large amount of different irons and materials called aggregates, as well as the RAM-24 mineral that can conduct the energy of the origin stone.

The locals use this mineral as an excellent source stone technology conduction material, as well as white horse alcohol for making bipolar nanosheets, but here in Xia Lin, they can be made into low-impedance supercapacitor arrays and acceleration tracks, There is no need to worry about the origin stone natural disaster falling on the top of the head.

After discovering the actual performance of this mineral and the manufacturing ability of the local people, Xia Lin raised Terra's metallurgical industry level slightly.

Regardless of whether they discovered some natural minerals, or dug out from some so-called ruins and smelted the scrap iron of their ancestors when civilization was developed, in short, they all have the ability to mass-produce these things to a certain extent.

The situation of different iron is a bit special. Strictly speaking, it is not a metal, but an active nano-cermet, a mixture of nano-worms, metal and other components, with self-healing and restructuring functions.

Heteroferric fragments will spontaneously polymerize to form a structure with mechanical properties equivalent to titanium-aluminum alloy materials, and under specific conditions, they can be inert and purified to form isoferric particles composed entirely of nanoworms and isolated ceramic particles Group.

After these complicated processes, Xia Lin obtained the sample of Terra's different iron block, a standard metal-ceramic material for the main structure of starships, mainly used for starship shells, inner linings, and shielding shells for high-energy equipment. and insulating heat shields and other equipment.

At the same time, if it is processed and combined with carbon fiber nanomaterials, it can be used as a starship keel. If this thing is a natural mineral, Xia Lin can tear up all his relevant certificates and degree certificates - this cannot be natural.

And what the Terra people collected was not "different iron ore", but the aggregation of "different iron fragments" separated during the normal metal ore mining and smelting process.

However, this also explains the structural strength of Terra's mobile city, especially the strength of the walking mechanism. If this is the structural keel material used for large starships, then the weight and walking structure that supports the mobile city Totally more than enough.

Chapter 52 The Golden Spirit

Xia Lin is basically not interested in the products that Maxim brought this time. Compared with the products in the shopping malls in Meiquan Town, the quality, quantity and price are quite unsatisfactory, but those infected people Quite interested.

The only fabric available from the farm is standard man-made fabric, and to be honest, this fabric, which is mainly used for winter and dust covers, is not comfortable as a clothing fabric, which is not designed to make clothes and bedding.

In the era of low-cost advanced synthetic fiber technology, natural plant fiber fabrics generally belong to personal hobbies or luxury goods like hand-made custom suits. Body scanning combined with rapid silk-forming nozzles can complete a complete fit in a few minutes. clothes.

Of course, it's hard to say the specific feeling of wearing. Xia Lin didn't figure out which one is more expensive, the industrially produced plant fiber or the same industrially produced high-grade synthetic fiber.

But when he couldn't buy special clothing materials, he still purchased quite a few high-end fabrics in Meiquan Town to make uniform uniforms for himself, Yelena, and future farm security guards.

And other infected people can only use those synthetic fibers and vacuum airgel fillings that were not originally designed for quilts to make coats and quilts-the effect of cold protection and warmth is really first-class, but the breathability and comfort are very bad- In the past, they had no choice, so it was good to have them, but now that they have some surplus food and money, there is no need to treat themselves harshly on such rigid needs as food, clothing, housing and transportation.

In addition to various fabrics and even scarves, Maxim also brought some cheap jewelry and jewellery, snacks that the little ones loved.

Since the farm tools are quite excellent, he did not bring those low-quality farm tools and tools this time, but various household appliances, such as refrigerators, ovens, radios, etc., and even Xia Lin found a similar antique Antique desktop arcade game console.

It has to be said that after the basic living requirements are met, the needs of the infected are still very strong. The seven or eight small refrigerators they brought were sold out in less than an hour. The food on the snowfield is quite scarce. Only autumn and summer can grow and gather large amounts of food.

The refrigerator can ensure that the hunted meat can be kept until the winter when the temperature drops sharply, instead of having to eat it all in autumn to avoid spoilage - pickling is of course a way, but why is salt cheap?

Then there is the oven. In the past, everyone used to eat messy stews, so of course they don’t need it. Now that there is a lot of harvest, an oven is a must. Even Xia Lin is considering whether to buy one. The ovens on the farm are for "small and micro colonies". Yes, to put it bluntly, the bread it bakes at one time is enough for up to 10 people.

And now there are about [-] trainee security guards or part-time security guards under him. Although there is no need to build a cafeteria to eat together for the time being, even if it is for the cohesion and sense of belonging of the team, it will be a matter of time.

In addition, Maxim brought some condiments and food ingredients, such as cream and butter, which the farm could not produce for the time being, and Xia Lin simply packed them all at once.

"This place is really nice, why not build a landmark and hire some natural disaster messengers? This will guide more caravans to come and trade" Maxim's goods were sold out at an alarming rate, and while he was quick to settle the accounts, he He asked curiously while loading the potatoes, bad wine, and homemade wild apple sauce that he had bought by barter into the car.

"Because there is no need for that for the time being, and the current output is not enough, and we plan to organize commercial transportation by ourselves." "Then be careful, the bandits in the wasteland are no easier to deal with than the crows in the empire."

"I know" Xia Lin was noncommittal, but he really thought about making some modifications and reinforcements to the vehicles used for commercial transportation in the future.

Neither he nor the guerrillas of the Patriots can be long-term escort security guards, so maintaining the safety of transportation routes is an essential job. However, most of the bandits are seeking money rather than fighting for their lives. Know how to avoid hard ideas, and don't start with the vehicles marked on the farm.

The mobile trading station goes further north along the mechanical farming road. The potatoes, wine and jams traded are quite good for the settlements in the bitter cold places in the north, and the origin stone mines in the wilderness in the north are even more expensive. There are more, and there are more processed and easy-to-handle source stones and pure gold that flow out-simply put, the profits are greater.

"Eat, continue to work after eating" After the transaction was completed, it was almost time to eat. The infected chefs at the camp had already prepared simple construction site meals, chopped animal meat and cleaned offal. Rice boiled into a sticky meat porridge, with chunks of baked potatoes, roasted onions, and a big pot of mushroom soup was all it took.

Of course, Xia Lin and Yelena didn't go to the camp to eat, they have their own kitchen, they can cook more delicate food, and other infected people don't have any opinion about it, the boss and the employees eat and live together, it's called affection, a certain In some cases, it can also be called a show, and it is one's duty to choose to eat small stoves by oneself.

What's more, now whether it's the food at the logistics camp or the ingredients for the small stove, it's all provided by the boss, and everyone has a short mouth and has no position to express any opinions.

The temporary workers gathered together after eating and chatting about various trivial matters, and soon the topic turned to Yelena and Xia Lin, "What race do you think Boss Xia is from? I always think he It should be the nobles in the south."

"Aristocrats? How is that possible? Those masters can't wait to raise their eyes to the sky. Boss Xia can do farm work for two. Have you ever seen nobles who go to the ground?"

The patriot ate in silence without making a sound. In theory, as a former senior general of Ursus, he was also a nobleman. Now he is not only going to the field, but also moving bricks on the construction site.

However, labor is indeed a good way for people to recognize themselves. Patriot has been thinking about why Xia Lin thinks that they have never played a land before, so it is impossible to succeed. Now he understands a little bit.

The tools on the farm are very sophisticated. Even so, with his physique and strength, pulling the steel plow by human hands feels obviously tiring. The hardships can be imagined.

And this is just arable land, not counting a lot of things after that. People at the bottom have to do their best to survive, and what they can share with others is extremely limited.

"If you can't change their lives, it's impossible to ask them to treat the infected with more compassion than their level, even if it's right." panicky people.

"And it seems unrealistic to expect the infected to be enlightened...they don't even have hope..."

These infected people showed the same national advantages as any Ursas, straightforward, enthusiastic, brave and tenacious, and still retained considerable friendliness to strangers, which was in stark contrast to the indifference at the beginning.

"Dad, what are you thinking?"

"Think about our future path." The patriot lowered his head and continued to eat. He now feels that the root of the contradiction between the infected and normal people may not lie in the ore disease itself, but in something deeper. It's just that he can't see it clearly now. What is the level of things.

However, it doesn't matter, the snowfield guerrillas will once again start recruiting, training and absorbing newcomers, and will once again start attacking various depots, mines and concentration camps in Ursas.

At that time, he will allocate some energy to carefully observe those infected people who were simply considered as "protected" and "to be rescued" before, and will also think more carefully about those who were previously considered to be simply "indifferent" and "repelling" the behavior of ordinary people.

"I'm not talking about aristocrats, I'm talking about real aristocrats, don't you think?"

"What kind of real nobleman? Are all the officers we've seen fake?"

The companion sneered, what kind of urine are the nobles, have infected people like them seen less?Not to mention seeing infected people, even ordinary civilians have to pinch their noses and stay away from them.

"I'm talking about the real aristocrats mentioned in the book. You see, Boss Xia must be very knowledgeable, right? The peasant who is the best at farming in our village doesn't know as much about farming as he does."

"This is actually" the farmers are the most realistic. Whoever can lead them to grow more crops is the boss. The leader of the whole village—especially the land, seeds and tools provided by others—is the leader in normal Uganda. In the villages and towns of Sass, he felt that no one objected to being the mayor.
