Chapter 478: Disappearance
Chapter 478 Missing Persons
There are four more wells in the space, which are located at the foot of the four mountains in the south, east, and west. Although the amount of water in a single well did not increase, the total amount tripled all at once. However, the effect of the magic well water has not changed, and the bonus effect on plant growth is still the same as before.
The East Mountain, the South Mountain, the West Mountain, and the North Mountain, four towering mountains rise, and the boundaries of space still exist.
The big river in the space is more than 20 kilometers wide at its widest point and 5 or 6 kilometers at its narrowest point. The location of the space island has become a giant lake, and the area of the island has reached about 30 square kilometers.
It can be said that the evolution of space this time has brought about great changes.
"Oops, my medicine field"
Feng Tiance suddenly remembered the medicinal fields on the island in the middle of the lake, where some precious medicinal materials were grown, such as wild ginseng, which he had spent a long time cultivating. I don't know if the change in space will cause a chain reaction.
In an instant, he was on the island. Today, the island is much wider, with mountains and plains. The small medicine field before was in a clearing on the slope of the mountain, and not far away was the original well on the island.
Fortunately, the herbs in the medicine field are still growing well, and there has not been any change due to the change of terrain.
This island is no longer a small island, the area of 30 square kilometers is indeed much wider than before, Feng Tiance felt that it was more appropriate to call it "Island in the middle of the lake".
On the island in the middle of the lake, the vegetation is sparse. Now not only on the island, but also in the entire space is very sparse, after all, the overall size has expanded so much. The original number of plants in the space will not increase out of thin air, and the average number of plants per square kilometer is a little pitiful.
Therefore, Feng Tiance has a lot of things to do in the future.
Of course, these changes are visible to the naked eye, but the invisible changes are even more striking.
After this spatial evolution, the speed of time has quietly changed. Previously, space flowed twelve times faster than the outside world, and the island in the middle of the lake flowed twelve times faster than the rest of space.
Now, the speed of time in space is twenty-four times that of the outside world, and the speed of time in the island of the lake is also twenty-four times that of other areas of space.
In other words, one month in the outside world is equivalent to two years in space, and forty-eight years have passed in the time of the island in the middle of the lake.
Feng Tiance once thought that the speed of time in space would not change compared to the outside world, but the facts in front of him completely subverted his inherent ideas.
What will become of space if it continues to evolve?
It's really exciting!
The next day, Qi Xiuyuan called Feng Tiance, and the two met in the manor.
"Feng Dong, there was a lot of fog in the jungle that day, and I asked everyone to withdraw back at that time. The next day, it took people half a day to take a closer look, and when they saw that there was nothing abnormal, they started work again. Therefore, this time the fog probably delayed us for a working day. ”
Feng Tiance had understood before that the dense fog, or the brief overlap between space and the real world, would not have any bad effects on humans or animals. As for what Qi Xiuyuan said about delaying a day's work, it is not a problem.
Feng Tiance shook his head with a smile, saying that it didn't matter. Then he said: "You tell everyone to stay safe, and if anything changes in the jungle, evacuate first." ”
"Well, I understand. Feng Dong, there is something I want to talk to you about. This year's drought has been severe, and the price of grain and other food has risen. I have a total of allowances for employees, do you think it is necessary?"
After the drought, the prices of grain, non-staple foods, and meat have risen, and the cost of living for forest farm employees has increased significantly, so Qi Xiuyuan plans to appropriately subsidize his own people. The subsidy is not very large, he plans to subsidize twenty dollars per person a month, and the forest farm will need to spend about $20,000 a month for it.
"This is okay, but the subsidy does not need to be canceled in the future, even if it is a salary increase in disguise. You start doing it right away and try to send it out that month. ”
Feng Tiance immediately nodded in agreement, and prices have indeed risen a lot in recent years.
"In addition, you arranged for me to talk to Yishan County about the investment in the tunnel project, and I have already called and contacted them. The other party meant that it was better for us to send someone to Yishan to talk, and I plan to go there next week and weekend. ”
The construction of the tunnel project in Yishan County needs to bring in some funds, and neither Feng Tiance nor Qi Xiuyuan is a big deal. It's just that Qi Xiuyuan wants to take this opportunity to return to China for a few days.
Feng Tiance feels that there is no major deal at present, and the felling of trees in the A\\B area is also nearing completion, and the No. 1 and No. 2 forest farms are basically daily maintenance work, with only a small amount of replanting trees. The artificial incense of the No. 3 forest farm has a relatively long time span, and it is not in a hurry.
So he immediately agreed to Qi Xiuyuan's plan.
After lunch, Qi Xiuyuan returned to the forest farm office, and Feng Tiance came to the Bodhisattva River and drove a small yacht to cruise on the river alone.
There was a light rain this morning, and the sky was exceptionally humid and muggy. Visibility was not bad on the river, but fog suddenly appeared, and the fog soon spread to about five kilometers of the river.
Individual boats on the river have docked, after all, no one wants to sail on the river with poor visibility.
Feng Tiance drove the small yacht through the dense fog at a speed of about three knots.
This is another exchange of species between space and the outside world, but this time the exchange only involves the aquatic species of the space river and the Bodhisattva River.
Fish, shrimp, crabs, mussels, water snakes, aquatic weeds, plankton, etc. This is, of course, a large-scale exchange, and therefore a brief spatial overlap.
It's just that the previous overlap between the space and parts of the Cardamom Mountains was spontaneous. And this time the overlap with the Bodhisattva River was actively guided by Feng Tiance.
Needless to say, the benefits of species exchange are that the evolution of this space was triggered by the first large-scale exchange between space and the outside world.
This exchange is not limited to species exchange, but also includes the all-round exchange of spatial information such as air, soil, water quality, and so on. This kind of behavior is a beneficial behavior, and the space will only absorb the information that is beneficial to itself, and will exclude the harmful information.
An hour later, the fog on the river gradually cleared, and the river gradually returned to its usual busyness. Feng Tiance drove the small yacht back to the dock by the river outside the village.
The dock and the small yacht have always been maintained by special personnel, and Feng Tiance drove away directly after getting off the boat. He had an idea at this time, that is, when he was not busy, he would go around the world. In the future, there will be countless mountains and rivers where species can be exchanged with his space.
But there is also a premise for this, and that is to establish nodes. This exchange can only take place if it is within the scope of the node.
At night, Feng Tiance came to the bank of the big river in the space. The river is flowing as before, but Feng Tiance always feels that there is something different about the river in front of him. He felt that this river was much more agile and vivid.
It seems that the variety of aquatic organisms in the river has increased a lot through the exchange of species.
Back then, when the big river in the space was still a small river, Feng Tiance bought fish fry in the market in order to increase the species in the river.
Feng Tiance sighed a little in his heart, and came to the island in the middle of the lake. On the island, he made several potted ginkgo trees, which he intended to use as moving nodes.
After the potted plant with a height of 80 centimeters was made and some well water dilution was watered, Feng Tiance took the 500-year-old Hainan yellow rosewood to the warehouse at the foot of the mountain.
This warehouse belongs to Feng Tiance's special warehouse. Whoever used the storeroom temporarily for whatever reason had to hand over the keys later.
The wood of this Hainan yellow rosewood has been completely dried. He was going to hand it over to the stone carpenters and let them start making the furniture.
An hour later, Feng Tiance returned to the island in the middle of the space lake again. Several potted ginkgo trees on the island are growing well, and the height of the trees is basically about one meter.
He had only been out for an hour, and twenty-four days had passed on the island in the middle of the lake, so it was no wonder that things had changed.
After a closer look, a potted plant can cover an area of one square kilometer if it is used as a temporary node. If four potted plants are placed on a small yacht, they can cover an area of two or three square kilometers.
Feng Tiance smiled happily, it was really similar to what he imagined, and even better than he expected.
"Very good! Tomorrow I will sail the yacht up the river and all the way to Lake Tonsari. ”
The only way to increase the number of space species in a short period of time is to exchange aquatic species for the time being, and the Bodhisattva River, especially the Dongsari Lake, is rich in aquatic resources, so Feng Tiance plans to take the moving "node" and go straight to the lake area.
The Bodhisattva River originates from Dong Sari Lake, and it is still very convenient to go directly to the lake area along the river.
Following.
Feng Tiance arranged for someone to send the Hainan huanghuahuali wood in the warehouse to the stone carpenter early in the morning, and Zhang Youcai had already set up a temporary warehouse near the No. 1 forest farm shed. It was the workshop and storehouse of the future stone carpenter, guarded by groups of six (with twelve sheepdogs) day and night.
Then he was ready to give an explanation to Qi Xiuyuan, so he set off by boat and headed for Dongsari Lake. He only went out for a few days, no more than five days at most. When he comes back, it just so happens that Qi Xiuyuan can leave to return to China.
But before he could set off, Abin called and said that something had happened at the No. 3 Forest Farm.
Twenty people are on duty every day in the No. 3 Forest Farm, after all, agarwood has begun to artificially form incense and needs special care. Yesterday after the night shift, three employees did not follow the commuter bus back, but slept in the dormitory first.
The dormitory of Forest Farm No. 3 can accommodate up to 100 people at the most. However, the 200 workers who make the artificial incense are all commuter buses to and from work every day, so the dormitories are all allocated to 50 workers for daily maintenance and night shifts.
Usually, workers on night duty can take a day off, and most of them are willing to go home to rest. But these three people slept for half a day in the morning, and after eating at noon, they went into the jungle.
According to Abin, not only do these three have a strong ability to survive in the jungle, but they are also good hunters. The three of them were going to go to the jungle to have some fun, and by the way, hunt a few hares or something.
But after the three men entered the jungle, they did not return all night.
Only one worker reported the incident to Abin this morning, and the working hours were over, and these people did not show up.
"Boss, I just called the police, and the police said that they could not file a case for the time being within 24 hours. I'm going to take more workers out into the jungle, okay?"
Entering the jungle to find someone would definitely delay work, so Abin first reported to Qi Xiuyuan. As soon as Qi Xiuyuan heard that it was such a big thing as the disappearance of personnel, he asked Abin to tell the boss again.
"If the person is gone, I will definitely look for it! Wait a minute, I'll rush over at once, and I'll talk about it when I arrive. ”
Feng Tiance didn't dare to let these people rush into the jungle to look for people, don't miss the three who didn't find them, and there would be some other accidents.
Put down the phone, Feng Tiance didn't go to the Bodhisattva River anymore, after all, going to Dongsari Lake is not a big deal.
He hurriedly called out to Skeyan, and rushed to the No. 3 forest farm in a hummingbird helicopter.
"Boss"
"Boss"
In addition to the twenty people who had just finished the night shift, the twenty-seven people who were responsible for the daily maintenance work were all waiting for Feng Tiance's arrival under the leadership of Abin.
The three missing people are the three employees who disappeared.
"Everyone divided into three groups and went to the jungle behind the forest farm to search for the missing people. Remember to bring all your tools, do a good job of protection, and never allow you to leave the team and act alone. Well, the search range is limited to five kilometers within the boundary of the forest farm, and if no one is found, it must be returned. Do you understand?"
Feng Tiance had a faint sense of foreboding in his heart, so he was very strict.
"Got it!"
The workers replied in unison.
"Alright, let's go!"
Feng Tiance waved his hand, and the three search teams walked into the jungle separately.
Abin didn't follow the team, he needed to sit in the forest farm and be ready to deal with unexpected situations. Subsequently, Feng Tiance also came to Abin's office and waited patiently for news.
After lunch, the three search teams returned one after another, but nothing was found.
"Boss, we picked up an empty bottle of mineral water in the jungle. This brand of mineral water is exactly the same as the one distributed by our forest farm, and it is possible that the location discarded by the missing three people has reached the limit of five kilometers, so we did not continue to track it. However, depending on the direction, the person who discarded the empty bottle should be heading south. ”
One of the search teams found a little bit of information, but they couldn't be sure if it was a clue left by a missing person.
Feng Tiance glanced at the empty bottle on the table, and did not speak, and he was also unable to judge the authenticity of the clue.
