The land of the Western Plains, which was an agricultural area when the Hong Leong Empire was still in existence 400 years ago, was an agricultural area. At that time, artificial canals were spread all over the plain, and every year the silt was dug out to form the foundation of new farmland.

At that time, if the budget of the Bell Civilization for Outer Space Observation continued according to this model, it would become a rich farmland in a thousand years. When a race can persevere for hundreds of years and complete such a great public benefit project, then such a successful model will provide legal support for the subsequent greatness of civilization.

However, in this timeline, two hundred years ago, the crystal worms spread, and the vast green of this land has disappeared, leaving behind huge hive towers fifty meters high.

The towers were covered with countless threads of fiber, spreading out on the ground like hair spreading out in water. The scattered hair of each hive can extend for seven or eight hundred meters, and on these "hairs", some human and animal bones can occasionally be seen. Judging by the degree of white ossification, it has been dead for a long time.

The bugs have turned this place into a Jedi for ordinary people. Anyone who dares to step on these threads will feel the central hive like a spider leaning in the middle of a spider's web. Harvest all the lives that "offend" them.

These surging red bugs are extremely fast, and they also jump, like boiling blood as they devour living beings.

Therefore, two hundred years ago, the folk named these insects Blood Sea Worms. However, the scientific name given to it by the noble scholars of the Holy Gu Empire was Blood Crystal Worm.

Officially, it was given such a good name because it was the basis of the empire's economy.

The ant tower replaces the traditional plant in the ecological chain, and its hair is a tool for absorbing photosynthesis. A tower of a blood crystal ant can produce seventy tons of 'eggs' a year, which contain a lot of protein and lipids. On average, the Blood Crystal Ant Tower has one hectare, which can produce enough food for the territory.

On the entire continent, spirit insects are divided into levels one to nine. Levels 1 to 5 are functional spirit insects, which can improve the functionality of human beings, and the fourth and fifth level spirit insects are contracted by specialized warriors similar to the earth knight class.

At the sixth level, the evolution ability of the female insect branch of its group is very strong, and it is the strategic level, which is mastered by the lord heir.

This kind of blood crystal ant is second-level, but there are many of them. Its queen mother is only a third-level worm, and its evolutionary ability is weak, so it can only provide food.

As long as the knights sign a symbiotic contract with a fourth-level war insect and have its war insect as a deterrent, they can safely drive a steam tractor, or other giant beast-level contract insects, drill through an ant nest tower, and take out the eggs of the blood crystal worm as reserve food.

The scale of such a blood crystal ant area is similar to that of a large farm in the United States of the Earth. Of course, in terms of input, it is much less than that of large farms, there is no need to apply fertilizer, and if you don't count the technology of driving a tractor, the planting technology is about the level of slash-and-burn farming. No, slash-and-burn farming also requires a statistical astronomical calendar to know when to harvest, and this 'collecting eggs of blood crystal ants' can be done all year round.

Now on this rock crystal star.

The ants are found on the plains, and in the mountains, there are a variety of vein-worms that can also reduce metals to elemental matter, which can then accumulate in the surface rock layers and can be mined. A hundred years ago, when the humans of Rock Crystal Star began to master this magical insect function, the food and industrial crisis was immediately solved.

This is how the Holy Gu Dynasty was established a hundred years ago. The new empire is a level stronger than the Hong Leong Empire, which needed to periodically suppress dung forks, nail rakes, and hatchet uprisings in various places four hundred years ago. But is this really that good for the intelligent species of human beings?

In the wasteland, a person walked slowly in this nest forest, and his steps trampled on the "hair" of the hive many times. The Blood Crystal Ant also jumped out, but was immediately irradiated by the strong microwave and retracted.

Zeusa traveled through the bone-laden nest of blood ants. Walked into a farmhouse that was long uninhabited and had a collapsed roof. Bending down and pinching half of the moss-covered broken brick, he sighed helplessly!

Zhou You: "Human beings have developed into the industrial age, and the reason why history will default to 'sheep eating people' is that greedy people have chosen the option of industrial creators, so they can exempt the greed of that era from some sins." But now, greed is choosing the option of pure selfishness. ”

When he stayed at this farmhouse, a small dog in the shape of a grasshopper quietly approached the back of Zeyu. When it was sure it was about to win, it let out a smug coo. However, just as it opened its opener, four spherical luminous objects appeared around it.

The sunlight in an area of five square meters focused precisely on the insect's eyes, and almost instantly, it turned yellow and fragrant. Of course, when it was about to scream, Zeyu pierced the eardrum from which it made the sound, and then severed its joints.

The optical path of the moment, like an invisible blade, completes these "machining" steps.

Zhou You kicked the thing away, causing it to roll down to the 'hair' of the Blood Crystal Ant Nest, and watched the blood drown the unknown name of the bug, his mood calmed down a lot, and he strode towards the distant horizon. There, there was industrial smoke rising.

[The social development process here has been forcibly urbanized, after all, there are very few people who can sign a contract with the fourth-level insects. A large number of civilians are unable to survive in the countryside, but the progress of civilization is seriously backward and it is impossible to re-educate those who have lost the right to work. Therefore, it is severely deformed. 】

Six hours later, at the gates, drunken guards were here.

After handing over a dozen copper coins, the plainly dressed Zhou You took a black and white photo, took something similar to a "good citizen certificate", and entered the city.

What, where did the money come from? - Picked up on the ground, wandering around the plains, and picking up the wealth of fourteen gold coins. They were recovered from the remains of people who had died in travel accidents, as well as from boxes thrown into wells in some villages.

These things, as soon as the space travel field is opened, can be seen casually. The probability of finding money is the same as the probability of finding a coin when the city's artificial lake is drained. The matrix field is orders of magnitude more accurate than the positron emission field excited by heavy elements in those years, and there is no risk of overheating. No, this time Zeuyou will not build a magic vein in the body, it belongs to the original carbon-based life.

Passing through the city walls, you will be greeted by a huge black iron city.

With its pipes, towering chimneys, and metal gears ten meters in diameter, the city is filled with the smell of metal oil. These are all things that Zeyo could have thought of before.

What he didn't expect, however, was that it was full of artistic attainments: the ornate carvings on each wall were completely different; In each building, there are very delicate patterns on the steps; The bottom of the cistern protected by iron railings on both sides has lines on every brick.

Zhou You: "How idle is this?" In the post-industrial era, countries with 80% of the tertiary output value are not so extravagant. Forehead? Oh? By the way, ninety-five percent of the people here don't have contract worms, and they can only use the service industry to exchange food and other survival materials from these mainstream nobles.

Abandoning his original preconceived notions, Zeyo unfolded his own matrix realm, carefully observing the details.

In the perspective provided by the matrix: infrared heat sources one by one, as well as the kinetic energy of mechanical rotation. Also, the various contract bugs that are kept in the hexagonal nests below the building.

Constantly switching between the perspective of the calorific value of the red dots of the heat source and the perspective of the dynamic force field, he walked into the city and walked towards the market.

All kinds of shouting sounds made Zeyo feel the smell of fireworks in the world.

"Sweet bread, salty bread, grease cake, delicious, unforgettable!" - This is the shout of the bakery, Zhou You sniffed it, well, the food processing method is very, very good, and a lot of work has been studied.

"Masonry, carving, high-rise building cleaning......" – these are the humble voices of the roadside gig workers.

"Jingle bells" - this is the drivers eagerly ringing the bell on the street to welcome passengers.

"Get out of the way!" - The gardeners with big scissors were building the trees on the side of the road, and from their tones, they seemed to be very proud of their stable work.

Of course, the road ahead is gradually getting a little blocked, and a large number of people are clustered.

"Come and take a look, as long as you have ten silver heavenly cows, you can let your son get the teachings of Master Rhodes and get twice the result with half the effort in the hive contract." A man in a black robe, holding a leaflet, stood on an electric vehicle and shouted. After a while, a large number of people surrounded the road, and many good people took leaflets to inquire about this 'man with a door' in detail.

The parade around the corner of the street bypassed the crowd.

In the Golden Beetle Empire, the Aluminum Butterfly and Copper Spider represent the 'copper' coin, the Silver Celestial Bull represents the silver coin, and the Gold Beetle represents the gold coin. One gold beetle represents twelve silver beetles. But in fact, due to the huge amount of silver mining in the past 100 years, in recent years, the gold beetles on the market have been stocked up and appreciated, and few have circulated in the market.

And now, there are only traditional copper coins, after all, the Hong Leong Empire issued a huge amount of coins back then. As for the silver beetle and the golden beetle, they were not picked up outside the city. Only two types of currency, the silver petal and the gold crown a hundred years ago, cannot be used now.

Zhou You inhaled the smell of fried food in the air, looked at the food in the distance, and looked at the food in the distance, his face was a little helpless, now he must get an income early.

That's when it happened.

A person behind him quickly approached, and as he approached him, a stinger with a blood trough popped out of his wrist. And on his arm, a blue and faint centipede symbiotes with him, a second-level contract worm, a favorite thing of thieves, capable of numbing opponents through venom.

As for the tour of the sky, as a foreigner, he was targeted when he first entered the city. And it's seen as a fat sheep!

As a new generation cultivated by the Bell Civilization, the physique is the most natural and perfect state, and the well-proportioned face has not undergone a little wind and frost. Compared with the people of this city, it looks like a jewel in the coarse tiles, and at first glance, it looks like a rich birth and not deeply involved in the world.

Zhou You didn't have any high-level contract insect aura on his body, and some people in this city carefully observed that there was no one else around Zhou You, so they made a move. Just as the trafficker was about to approach, Zeyu suddenly turned around and grasped the wrist that was about to pop out the stinger.

The matrix technology of the Star Civilization is the highest personal technology known to the Great Time Disk Civilization at present.

Low-level investigators with this technology are not oblivious to the scale of energy, nor can they act recklessly under the destructive military power of low-level civilizations (ordinary people with a pistol cannot ignore dozens of javelins, or strong bows and crossbows); But for the characteristic technology mastered by marginalized people on other planets who do not have social support, it is crushing.

The Universe Matrix, when it entered the city, was already connected to the city's large number of steam engines, as well as the direct current wires in the houses. Now you can import yourself at any point near 100 meters at any time, with an error of no more than one centimeter.

Now, Zeyo has released the electricity that can melt the wire on the thief's completely wormed arm.

On this arm covered with chitinous carapace, dozens of charred black dots instantly appeared, like a ball lightning ignition effect in the air, and smoke came out of the insectized limbs. Passers-by with a keen sense of smell discovered this scene, however, they all quietly avoided this "conflict point......

Zhou You smiled and shook the thief's hand: "That, I don't have any money now, can you lend me a little money?" Oh, by the way, your friends are over there. ”

Cold sweat broke out on the forehead of this human trafficker, the contract worm was burned to death in an instant, and the nerves were connected to the contract worm, and now he felt a terrible sharp pain, and at the same time, his whole hand suddenly became soft.

However, under the pincers of Zhou You, he did not dare to get rid of it at all. Being able to kill his own bugs without knowing it makes this thief think that the person in front of him is hiding a higher-level contract worm. To be a thief, the most important thing is to know how to admit it after you miss.

A few minutes later, in an alley between two rocky tall buildings.

Zhou You threw away the money bag in his hand, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, and walked out leisurely.

After walking seventy meters, Zhou You turned around leisurely and pointed behind him. The crisp sound of the explosion was the sound of a bullet.

The leader of the thieves, who was still trying to find the field, was ignited by the matrix with a bullet propellant in the chamber, and the muzzle of the gun went off before it was raised.

After the sparks flickered, he clutched his thighs in pain and watched the back of the alley in horror and wariness. After Zhou You left completely, the man with a porcupine spike on his cheeks reprimanded his subordinates: "Pierce your hands! Then he quickly left.

Zhou You commented: "Life in this world is not easy, it is understandable to steal some money to survive, but hurting people's lives for money, then-alas, (face turns bleak) Forget it, I am not qualified to judge the life here." After all, I'm not from here. ”

The Celestial Tour disappeared into the bustling streets.

The bell of the carriage pulled by the multi-legged insect beast, and the various shouts of various colors, drowned out the footsteps of the wanderers.

In such a world, how can good people have a voice!
