Chapter 5: Sabrina Crashing into Ghosts
Not many people know what happened to Zagu and Capricorn in Iseras's palace. It's just that when the Capricorn god was leaving, the newly transferred chief attendant looked at the guy who was said to have let his predecessor die for unknown reason as soon as he raised his hand, and found that although his expression was calm, his eyes revealed joy.
"Go back to the palace!"
After watching the spaceship disappear from his sight in the blink of an eye, Zagu waved his hand and shouted, "In addition, inform the President of the Imperial Academy of Sciences, Count Wallid, the Imperial Shipbuilding Corporation, and the Count Santasimig of the Imperial Heavy Machinery Manufacturing Company to come and see me." ”
Sitting in the hovering armored car dedicated to the royal family, Zagu stroked the memory full of information in his hand, and some excited expressions gradually disappeared, turning to extremely ruthless. He sneered and looked at the sky, filled with anticipation.
……
More than thirty galaxies away from the new Kaifeng star, far away in the remote area of western Isselas, Feng Huanxing.
Ginkgo Town is a small town built on a desert oasis where Sunset Lake is located, in fact, this town is not small, with a permanent population of 300,000. In the era of Fenghuanxing's great development in history, the population of this town was more than two million. Policy failures, combined with the plundering of local nobles and government officials, have led to the decay of the town, which has now been reduced to a deserted city that relies solely on agriculture for its survival.
If this continues, as the desert and Gobi continue to encroach, there will be less and less arable land, and the inhabitants will continue to move outward, and Sunset Lake will gradually disappear under the threat of wind, sand and drought. When the time comes, the town will eventually disappear under the desert.
It's not that the people of the town don't want to stop this change, after all, this is the home they have lived in for countless years, and in today's declining economic power and rising prices, it is extremely difficult to leave this place and move to another unfamiliar place. But to stop the erosion of the desert, they can't come up with the money they need. In today's highly developed science and technology, it is not difficult to control deserts. Although there are fewer and fewer newly discovered planets, almost every country has the methods and technologies to resist the desert that have been handed down from the time of the Galactic Empire, and some countries close to the border of the universe have never been stingy with research in this area, after all, those newly discovered planets are rarely directly inhabitable by humans, and most of them are divided into more than three types of planets from the environment, which need to be transformed by the environment, and the desert transformation is officially one of them.
Among the countless ways to transform, the use of plants with high survival rate and high drought resistance is the simplest and most effective method, and the large carrot grass that has been handed down since the time of the Galactic Empire is one of them.
Growing this plant on the edge of the desert requires only a small amount of water to survive. In three months, its well-developed root system can penetrate dozens of meters underground, and while continuously absorbing groundwater resources, the strong and resilient trunk begins to grow at a high speed, reaching a height of about 10 meters in half a year. After nine months of planting, it blooms and bears fruit after ten months, burying its watermelon-sized fruit in the desert, where it decays after three days, and its sap firmly fixes the surrounding sand grains, waiting for the seeds to germinate before providing the nutrients for their initial growth.
However, this plant has the disadvantage that after the seeds of this plant are planted in the desert where there is no plantation or next door, because there is no nutrient-filled pulp that can fix the sand, a nutrient solution extracted from the pulp must be applied to make the newly planted fragile seeds take root and germinate.
Seeds are very cheap, and a hundred Imperial Gold Dollars can buy a whole bunch. However, the price of nutrient solution is extremely high, and the price of nutrient solution required for one acre of land is as high as 1,000 yuan.
A month later, he took all the big radix grass planted by his family to survive, and the instrument could see that the root system of these large radix grass was constantly probing at a very high speed towards the location where there was groundwater deep underground. This piece of big carrot grass firmly encloses the land that can be irrigated by the waterway that is drawn from Sunset Lake, even Yunyi, who does not understand agriculture, can see that as long as the right fertilizer is applied, the harvest of this land next year will definitely not be much worse than the fertile land by the lake.
At the same time, at Sabrina's suggestion, Yun Yi only spent less than 20,000 imperial gold dollars to buy all this piece of land. After all, these lands are about to be desertified and cannot be cultivated at all, so the price is very low. Because of the continuous reproduction of the big carrot, it is estimated that in ten years, the area that can be advanced from here to the desert for at least thousands of miles will become qualified farmland. Sabrina's original suggestion was that he buy the desert as well, but was rejected by Cloud Wing on the grounds that he did not have enough funds.
In fact, it's not that Yunyi is underfunded.
The reason why he helped Sabrina and Chen's second family, in Yun Yi's opinion, he can't help everyone in Isseras at the moment, so he can only start by helping the people around him. I believe that with the nearly 300 acres of land that has been fenced off now, the living standards of Sabrina and Chen Laoer's family will get better and better, but this town is still poor and backward.
Therefore, in Yunyi, let him buy those lands, it is better to let people of insight in the town or civilians who see these profits buy it, so as to improve the economic level of the town as a whole. As soon as others see that Yunyi's approach can be profitable, I believe that more people will join forces to carry out such desert transformation in the form of joint farms or agricultural companies, and get rich together.
"The water is coming, the water is coming!"
Amid the cheers of the Chen family and the construction workers, the waterway from Sunset Lake began to work in earnest, and the clear water of the lake was flowing, which was only the first test of the waterway, and the high-pressure pump at the other end was not turned on. However, as things stand, the quality of the construction of this waterway is completely reliable.
"The next step is to sort out the land. Leveling the land and adding fertilizer to make it suitable for planting is a big project, and I don't know if the boss has enough money left behind. Chen Lao Er looked at the slowly flowing lake, squatted aside and smoked a cigarette and said to himself.
Sabrina tapped on her wrist light brain, and after a moment, she said, "It cost about 50,000 yuan to buy seeds and the nutrient solution of the big radix, and the construction of this waterway cost 15,000 yuan. Speaking of this, she looked at Chen Lao Er and smiled bitterly: "We only have 13,000 yuan of funds left." ”
The corners of Chen Laoer's mouth twitched, he took a deep puff of cigarette, and only after exhaling it did he say with a smile: "Sabrina, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid we wouldn't even have three thousand yuan left." ”
"Uncle Chen, you have won the award, this is all Sabrina's business."
In terms of purchasing seeds and contacting the construction unit, Sabrina's strong bargaining ability once again shocked everyone, and she cut the price of 70,000 seeds and nutrient solution to 50,000, and the cost of the 30,000 yuan waterway project was cut in half.
Chen Lao Er threw away the cigarette butts in the water, stood up, looked at the land, and said in a deep voice: "If you hadn't met the boss, whether it was you or us, we would still be struggling to survive on those few acres of land, how could we get the current monthly salary of thousands of yuan." Isn't it just 300 acres of land, tomorrow you go to the farm tool companies in the town, rent two mechas, and hire two pilots, almost 10,000 yuan is enough for them to level the 300 acres of land, and then apply basic fertilizer. ”
"But......" Sabrina hesitated, "if all the three hundred acres of land are leveled, can we only grow them?" Why don't you just do half of it, and leave some money for planting and harvesting before hiring a mech? ”
Chen Lao Er looked into the distance and said indifferently: "The boss gave us such a high treatment and handed over all the rights to us, which is a trust in us." Sabrina, I know you've just been here and don't know what's going on here. In fact, it's far more complicated than you might think. If we don't finish all the 300 acres of land, we don't know who the unfinished land will belong to. ”
Sabrina was taken aback: "We have the title deeds of these lands, and there is a legal basis for this!" ”
Chen Lao Er smiled: "The law is only effective for us poor people who have no power and no power, you are still young." ”
As if she understood something, Sabrina's face turned pale and pale for a long time, she gritted her teeth and said, "Uncle Chen, I'll leave it to you first, I'll go to the boss." ”
"By the way, what is the boss doing these days? I didn't even take a look at such a big thing as the opening of the waterway. ”
"The owner...... Alas, a few days ago, he wandered around several scrap yards in the town, and in the past two days he rented the warehouse of the bankrupt machinery company in the east of the town, and he didn't know what he was messing with. ”
Looking at Sabrina driving the second-hand hovercar that Yunyi bought, and driving away slowly, he said helplessly: "Alas, why is the dignified Zhao Song Dynasty snatched away by a character like Zagu." When he had said that, he looked around and was relieved to see that no one had noticed him. He clenched his fists tightly and said with a secret hatred: "If Zhao Song can return to this starry sky, even if he fights my old bones, he will overthrow this dirty world!" ”
……
Ginkgo Town, East of the Town, Baifu Machinery Manufacturing Company.
The previous boss ambitiously gave the name "Baifu", but when he didn't even get rich, the Zhao and Song empires were destroyed, and the ensuing economic depression made the boss lose a lot, and after going bankrupt, he sold all the equipment that could be sold in the factory, and he didn't know where he went, leaving only this broken factory in the hands of a few creditors, and no one was in the mood to develop it again.
When Sabrina drove to the factory's warehouse district, the entire factory was immersed in a kind of deathly tranquility in the twilight of the setting sun. Old buildings, empty factories, weeds more than a meter tall grow everywhere. All this made Sabrina feel a deep sense of fear, as if the scene of a certain horror movie she had seen was like this.
"Boom...... Weng ......"
A strange sound, coming from a certain factory, made Sabrina stand upside down with cold hair, and goosebumps suddenly bulged.
That's right! In the horror movie she remembers, this is the voice when the undead creature that was resurrected by Frankenstein.
Despite her fear, she stopped the hovercar and crept towards the factory. She was curious, because she knew that this was the warehouse that her boss had rented. Could it be that his boss is the terrifying Frankenstein who summons giant undead creatures?
The door of the factory was closed, leaving a gap. It's not that the people inside don't want to be shut up, it's that it's in disrepair and can't be shut down anymore.
Sabrina crept to the crack in the door, and looked inside.
There are some pitch-black things in the empty factory building, which cannot be seen clearly under the flickering lights. Her gaze gradually shifted, and suddenly, she saw a large humanoid object in the field, the skeletal head staring at her, and her face turned pale.
"Hell......"
Sabrina screamed loudly, ignoring the high heels on her feet, and ran madly towards the hovercar, then locked the door.
"Start...... Start, damn it, start! ”
And at this critical moment, there was a problem with the second-hand hovercar, whether she was voice-activated or hand-controlled, there was no reaction at all.
When Sabrina turned her head to look at the warehouse, she was horrified to find that the door of the warehouse had been opened at some point, and a huge paw of Bai Sensen was sticking out. All of this is incomparably similar to a horror movie in my memory.
Sabrina was already scared to tears, desolate factories, terrifying undead, Frankenstein, and hovercars that couldn't be started......
"Didi ......"
"Ah...... No! She screamed, thinking that the undead was coming out, and curled up for a long time with her head in her hands, only to suddenly realize that it was the voice of a wrist-like light brain.
"Help, there's a ghost...... she screamed as she grabbed her wrist-shaped light brain, like grasping at the only straw.
"Hey, hey, is it Sabrina? Where are you? ”
She didn't have time to distinguish whose voice it was, and shouted in a panic: "I'm in the machinery factory in the east of the town, there are ghosts, come and save me." ”
"I knew you were there, big sister, stop playing, come and help. This door is too small, I have to open the top door of the warehouse, and I still have to control the mecha, please go to the warehouse console to open it for me. ”
"Huh? Mecha? ”
When Sabrina walked into the warehouse with trepidation, she was shocked to find that in front of her was a huge mecha about fifteen meters tall. Even though she didn't know much about mechs, she knew a few things these days. The arm and leg device, the storage device on the back, everything says it's for.
"Oh my God, boss, you actually got an agricultural mecha in this warehouse!"
All of this surprised Sabrina more than seeing a giant undead creature......
