Chapter 398: Planting

However, new problems have arisen.

The brain is always evolving as it moves, and even if the intelligence of the maintenance personnel stationed at the pyramid is reduced to primitive times, they will still become intelligent in constant combat. War is inherently the greatest promoter of wisdom, and the greatest inventions always appear during war. From bows and arrows to catapults, from primitive muskets to laser weapons, people must find ways to take out their opponents in an easier way for their own safety. Naturally, the art of war and tactics also emerged.

Viratra said that when it was young, the village of Moli Zaka had sent an army of several thousand men. The warriors left the village and never returned. Obviously, this practice has gone against the will of the maker. It does not allow its creations to search the surrounding area, and it strictly prohibits the inhabitants of the village from expanding their range. However, the exploration of the unknown by intelligent life is endless. If you can stop it once, there must be a second and third time...... The simplest and most effective way to curb them is to erase some of the villagers' memories of the manufacture and use of advanced weapons such as bows and arrows, and to engage in hand-to-hand combat with mutants.

This is definitely not to send the villagers of Moli Zaka Village to death, but to achieve a delicate balance between the villagers and the mutants. Otherwise, the manipulators in the shadows would not have allowed Moli Zaka Village to keep the art of forging weapons, nor would there be any "charcoal" that grows every year.

Villagers and mutants fight each other, find hedrons from mutant corpses, and send them to the pyramid to replenish energy. This is the dark cloud that hangs over the heads of the villagers of Molizaka.

Su Hao smiled faintly.

What does this have to do with him?

Whether it is a plan or a conspiracy, as long as it does not involve the earth or human beings, he doesn't bother to care who is behind it.

……

The sky is getting brighter.

The sunrise can still be seen in the morning on this planet. The composition of the atmosphere here is somewhat different from that of the Earth, and the sun's glimmer from the horizon is not orange or reddish, but a dazzling blue. When this beautiful blue light gradually spread, a faint red arc slowly floated in the connection between heaven and earth. It grew larger and larger, like a bright arch bridge rising from the ground, constantly infecting the surrounding clouds and the surface. Mountains, lakes, rivers, forests...... Everything slowly appeared in the darkness as the light rippled through.

Breakfast is still based on a soup made from Tok and Sok. The high-energy compressed biscuits brought from the earth, while delicious, are still not as good as the indigenous food here in terms of energy supplementation. Since the village of Molizaka is often attacked by mutants, it is becoming more and more difficult to farm, and the villagers have almost no reserves. Otherwise, Villa Terra would not have looked for him to eat when he saw Su Hao.

All mutants that have been killed have been dealt with. The villagers of Molizaka have a knack for how to break down their prey. They peeled off the skin of the monster and tanned it repeatedly with plant ash, cutting up large pieces of flesh and bones, washing the former and curing them with mineral salt and preserving them, and the latter either mixed with Tok and Sock in soup, or stoned and ground into bone meal.

This practice is indeed the ultimate in the words "cherish food". For this, Villalatra also expressed his gratitude to Su Hao. Food shortages have been going on for a long time in the village of Moli Zaka. The mutants who were killed would at least keep the villagers from starving for the next week.

Before Veratra finished finishing his words of thanks, Su Hao had already unceremoniously interrupted it.

"From now on, the village will be under military control."

Veratora was a little stunned. It clearly did not understand what military control was, nor did it understand the terrible meaning of those two words.

It soon came to its senses.

The "worker bees" took over all the defense of the village of Molizaka. Two hundred fighters, divided into four groups, searched the area around the village from different directions. They are all evolved "worker bees" with strong combat power, carrying their own different weapons, food rations are only two days, and they must return to the village before sunset, regardless of the search situation. Of course, the search route and direction depend on the actual situation of each group. They had to sample the soil, lakes, rivers, and plants around the village to get all sorts of data on whether it was truly habitable by evolutionary humans.

Su Hao had been busy preparing beta-type evolution potions all night. Earth weapons have proven not to work here, and strengthening one's physique naturally becomes the only security guarantee. Experiments on Earth have shown that it will take some time for an enhanced person to go from injecting potions to becoming a true evolved person, and the same should be true for evolving from alpha to beta.

The yellow spar in the stone cabinet on the third floor of the pyramid was partially used by Su Hao. He left about 800 of them behind to keep the passage running. Su Hao has not been able to figure out the energy consumption pattern of this building. He tried many times to re-enter the passage, but was always blocked after fifty meters of distance. The darkness did not have a physical form, but it could make the enterer feel obstructed, as if it were a wall made entirely of gas.

The entire village of Molizaka is undergoing engineering renovation. The perimeter of the pyramid was cordoned off by heavily armed "worker bees". Despite the lack of electricity and the fact that a large number of instruments were damaged by gravity, the "worker bees" continued to work hard.

The blacksmith shop was taken over, the coal pit was completely dug up, and all the ore and iron stored in the village were removed. Based on the smelting techniques of the earth, the "worker bees" transformed the blacksmith shop into a weapon workshop and a precision workshop. The former was responsible for the modification and production of weapons, while the latter produced steel in a more delicate and elaborate way, experimenting with the manufacture of generators by hand.

Smashing a piece of iron into a generator with a hammer sounds really ridiculous. However, this is the reality. Su Hao and the "worker bees" need electricity and primitive machine tools that can make other machinery. Gravity makes the composition of matter here completely different from that of Earth. The instruments brought in were almost turned into scrap metal. If you want to build a strong industrial production base, you must start from now on, smash out the mechanical shell with a hammer, file the gears little by little with a file, and pull the coil out of the molten iron in the most primitive way.

All the villagers of Moli Zaka village were gathered in the square to the east of the pyramid.

Su Hao had already taken off his combat uniform and changed into a loose and cool army green shirt. Standing on the steps, he looked down at the group of villagers at his feet, whose eyes were full of fear and panic, and said in a majestic tone and voice, "From now on, I am the king here. ”

It is undoubtedly a joke on earth that a few hundred people dare to claim the title of king.

However, the language system of the villagers of Molizaka is very unique. In their dictionaries, they could not find words such as ruler, village chief, official, etc. The slain Dead Ghost Yasin once claimed to be the leader of the area, but Veratrana explained that the word meant "king".

All right! Whether it is a king or a chief, the meaning is almost the same. I'm the one who gives orders, and you're the ones who do it, it's as simple as that.

"Outside the village, there are countless man-eating monsters. You can't beat them, you have to stay here and die. ”

"The war between you and the monsters has been going on for hundreds of years, maybe longer, and your parents and elders have been killed and taken captive, and none of them have come back alive."

"You've fought and fought back, but nothing has worked. You've killed a lot of people, you've killed a lot of monsters, but you're still no match for them. ”

For outsiders such as Su Hao and the "worker bees", the villagers actually have no kindness. They instinctively reject these outsiders. Although the priest Veratra paid tribute to Su Hao with three ****s, it was completely based on the strength of the other party's force. According to the oracle, these people who emerged from the passage were warriors, and it did them no good to provoke them.

Su Hao's speech was very provocative. Even the most numb person will become enthusiastic under the stimulation of these agitating words. The villagers of Moli Zaka have experienced death, and most of their relatives and friends have died. After the fear, you will definitely want revenge. Using mutant corpses as food is not only to fill your stomach, but also has a revenge mentality like gnawing bones.

"God is right: we are warriors, warriors who have come to help you break the nightmare of death."

Su Hao crossed his waist with one hand, and his right hand kept waving in the air, making various powerful and powerful movements, and his loud voice echoed around the square: "We will kill all those monsters and completely kill them from this land." Don't let any of them go, seal them off from life. As I said, I am your king, and anyone who dares to do anything against my people will have to pay a terrible price. From now on, I'm going to declare war on these damn mutant mongrels and kill them all! Kill! ”

No one thought Su Hao was lying. The last battle was proof of the best. These warriors emerging from the passage are very powerful. With them, the village of Moli Zaka is safe.

The agitative words had an effect on every villager. Even the priest Veratra was no exception. Of course, the villagers don't know what to say, and a similar way of speaking is tantamount to hypnosis. When the other party continues to induce and suggest with a topic that you can accept, and subconsciously produces acceptance, you have been successfully hypnotized by the other party. In the case where this consciousness is completely guided by the other party, brainwashing becomes particularly simple.

"Fight with me!"

"I will lead you to the light!"

"Mutants can no longer pose a threat to you, I promise!"

Similar speeches on Earth can easily be seen as false emptiness. However, here, the villagers of Moli Zaka Village did not think that Su Hao was talking nonsense. Feverish flames began to unleash in people's eyes, muscles tensed all over their bodies, and their fists were clenched involuntarily. Even the children and the elderly began to shout with Su Hao's voice. Even though there were only a few hundred people, the roar of the convergence sent a chord around the village.

Su Hao was very satisfied with the effect of his agitation. He stared at the villagers in front of him and said word by word, "Now, I need your help. ”

The first problem to be solved is, of course, food.

The wooden fence leading to the river was completely removed to create a large road connecting to the cultivated area. According to Villatola, the sowing season for tok (corn-like) is now past the season, but there are no strict seasonal restrictions for things like sock (taro). The planet's orbit should be elliptical, with hot cycles about twice as long as the cold season. It's a warm spring-summer transition and normally the Sock tubers can be harvested in 80 to 90 days.

The mobilized villagers burst out with an incomparably strong enthusiasm for their work. For hundreds of years, no one has broken the wooden fence of the village. No one had ever left the 500-meter radius of the village. The villagers of Moli Zaka can stand on the top of the pyramid and see the river in the distance from their houses, but they can't get close, let alone walk there. If it weren't for the fact that there was well water in the village, I am afraid that everyone would have died of thirst long ago.

All farming tasks are the responsibility of the villagers. Su Hao and the "worker bees" were not familiar with this land. He told the priest directly: "If you don't want to go hungry for the rest of your life, try to cultivate as many fields as you can and plant more socks." Don't worry about security, my people will provide protection all the way. If a mutant appears, you'll have broth to add to your dinner that day. ”

On the first day of the otherworldly realm, everyone lived an extremely fulfilling life.

For the first time, many of the villagers in Molizaka village have stepped out of the confines of the village. When they stood on the wet ground, many people wailed and cried on the spot, many people fell on their knees and kowtowed desperately in the direction of the pyramid, and many more old people lay on the ground for a long time and muttered to themselves. No one knows what they're talking about. Villatla said that those were words of gratitude. When it comes to land and water, the elderly are obviously more affectionate than the young. Here, their relatives died in battle or were taken captive. No one dared to leave the village at that time to go out to look for it. Walking from the inside to the outside is only one step, but it means the distance between life and death.

The progress of the villagers' work to reclaim the fields can only be described as "crazy". It was just one morning, when Su Hao arranged various tasks and came to the cultivation site, he was completely shocked by the scene in front of him.

The farming tools of the villagers of Moli Zaka are not advanced. They have no livestock and can only pull plows by hand. Despite this, the elderly and children are also involved in this busy work in order to be fed. The distance of more than 2,000 meters from the village to the river has been fully completed. Along this straight line crossed by the road, the fields are paved on both sides, forming an irregular, extremely large area.

Veratola's upper body is ****, and there is only a dirty and tattered mutant human skin tied underneath. It was covered in mud and dirt, and its wrinkled face was full of smiles. While drinking water, it shouted at Su Hao with great excitement: "If all these places are planted with Sock tubers, it will be enough for us to eat for several years." ”

Su Hao was not clear about the measurement concept of the villagers of Moli Zaka. But it can be estimated that the production of Sock tubers here will be a very large number. With this as a stable food supply base, together with the second and third reinforcements in the passage, it will soon be possible to find out the basic situation of this area and carry out a comprehensive occupation.

The ore mining situation is much better than Su Hao expected. Perhaps because he had been trapped in the village for hundreds of years, the old priest Veratra had a vague idea of "terrain". Its descriptions of "mountains", "hills" and "earth bags" are obviously not as standard as the Chinese language. So much so that when talking about "mines", Su Hao has always thought that it is a mountain range quite far away from the village, and the ore used to forge weapons also comes from the heyday of Moli Zaka Village hundreds of years ago.

The mine is located two hundred meters south of the village. It was a small mound tens of meters high. A small patch of low shrub separates it from the village, and the dirt road in the middle is overgrown with weeds because it is unwalked all year round.

The "worker bees" in charge of exploration were shocked by the high quality of the ore here. The iron content of the stone is as high as 70% or more. This is simply unthinkable on Earth. It is precisely because of this that the extraordinarily strong gravity of this planet can be explained.

As for carbon, it is also a completely different type from the earth's coal. Its energy content is staggering, with an astonishing amount of combustion release. It is like a concentrated heat storage device, which only needs to be burned by a flame to produce a huge amount of heat energy.

New warehouses are also under construction. The "worker bees" and villagers cut down a large number of trees from outside the village to use as building materials. Leaving the village, Su Hao found that the animal species here were actually far more diverse than he imagined. Many poisonous insects are completely deadly to humans, but humans can resist them through their own circulation and immune system. In the woods and by the river, Su Hao found a lot of small rats and frogs, and there were also fish in the river, and they were very numerous.

These animals are markedly different from Earth's species. Their teeth are harder and sharper, they are agile, their limbs are strong, and they have little to no fat. The fish in the river, in particular, have evolved muscles enough to support their bodies with their front fins, and they can come ashore for short periods of time, breathing for short periods of time with their incomplete lungs like humans, and relying entirely on their gills when swimming in the water. Su Hao grabbed a few and roasted them on the fire, the meat was tender and the taste was also very good.

The ecological environment and living conditions around Molizaka Village are very good. Unfortunately, for hundreds of years, they did not dare to leave the village, and had to survive on a small plot of land near the wall. When you are suffering from hunger, you don't even know that you can get food in the river that is close at hand. There were so many fish there that Su Hao almost "picked them up" by hand.
