Chapter 64: A Day in the Life of the Tanlonians (1)
The location of the well is relatively far away, according to the direction of the wind leaves, Wang Buwang Ba calculated it himself, the whole journey is about five or six kilometers away, and it takes more than an hour for the normal Tanlonger people to walk back and forth, no wonder they don't often go to fetch water.
Look at the wooden bucket in his hand, there is only one diameter of a basketball in the bucket, which is not small but definitely not big, I am afraid it will not take long to hit the water once, but it will waste so much time.
The Tanlonger people have not mastered the process of making buckets from wooden boards, at most they can do some simple mortise and tenon structures to ensure the fixation between the wooden boards, and the degree of technology is so simple that the king can't see the king and the eight can't see it.
As for the wooden bucket, this kind of thing needs to go through a very complex process to ensure that the bucket made of wooden planks will not leak in the end.
The only way to make a wooden bucket was to find a tree that had fallen for various reasons, cut the trunk into a single section, and hollow out the middle to make a bucket for water.
Therefore, the thickness of the wooden bucket used by the Tanloners only depends on the thickness of the trunk of the tree they are lucky enough to find, and it also depends on whether their family's fists are big or not, and whether they can grab the thickest part of the trunk.
Wang didn't see that Wang Ba didn't have the skills to study the barrel process, and he didn't have time to go to the Yegu Forest to cut down a tree and make a new wooden bucket on the spot, so he could only take the two wooden buckets with moldy marks at home first, brush them clean, and deal with them.
Wang Buwang didn't see Wang Ba originally thought that he would see something similar to that kind of rural earthen well, that is, the kind of stone well that goes down vertically, and on top of it is a wooden shelf, and then throws the wooden barrel down, and then pulls it up with a rope little by little, the most primitive well.
But in fact, what Wang didn't see Wang Ba saw after passing over was a high-tech platform of about ten square meters, with a smooth floor that could be used as a mirror, and an automatic water outlet similar to a faucet, but a little more advanced than a faucet.
As long as the Tanloner people place the container under the water outlet, the automatic water outlet will automatically dispense water, and the size of the container can be recognized, and it will be filled just right every time.
There were a lot of people in the queue, most of them were elderly women or teenage and semi-old children, most of them were carrying a variety of dilapidated wooden buckets, but some were holding new wooden buckets, probably freshly made, with no signs of use.
This kind of scene seems very ridiculous, a technology much higher than the earth, made such a tall machine, turned out to be used by a group of human civilization like wild men.
It was difficult for Wang Ba to explain his feelings at this time, but he was indeed shocked, and he subconsciously felt very uncomfortable, and there was no reason.
He had wanted to stand at the back of the line and stand in a quiet line, but perhaps because of his overly intimidating appearance and exaggerated size, the old women of Tanlon, or the half-grown children, who were standing in front of him, subconsciously gave way to the side.
Looking at his gaze, it was even more exaggerated than Feng Ye, at least Feng Ye was reminded by the supervisor Parker, and he was prepared, and he also knew that he would not easily hurt people if he didn't see Wang Ba.
But these people in front of them didn't know the details of the king's lack of Wang Ba, and they just looked at him with a frightened gaze.
Wang didn't see Wang Ba wanted to relax and comfort himself that these were NPCs in the game, and they were the reaction mechanism set by the game production team, but in this real environment, there was no way to really calm down his mentality.
After being silent for a while, Wang Buwang didn't see Wang Ba in the sight of this group of people, passed the road they let out, walked to the front, quickly finished the water, and walked back.
For some reason, the excitement he felt at the beginning had dissipated, as if something heavy had fallen on his chest.
Back at home, only about 40 minutes later, although the body of this humanoid Zerg made by Mo Lan was a low-profile version of the low-profile version of the Zerg, and all the functions that could be weakened were repeatedly weakened, just to retain a pure human appearance.
But in fact, compared with real humans, this human zerg is still a lot stronger, and it can be seen from the size that at least the strength is several times stronger than that of ordinary humans, although it can't become a complete superman, but half a superman can still be a superman.
Therefore, the time it took for the king to travel back and forth was several times faster than that of the other Tanlongers, and if it weren't for the fear of spilling the water too quickly, he would have come back in a shorter time.
Kazuha had already set up the stove as he said, and had set up the kettle and boiled the water.
Wang didn't see Wang Ba go out for so long, and it was impossible for Fengye to starve his children all the time, even if he used dirty water, he had to feed the children first.
However, she still boiled the raw water according to what Wang did not see Wang Ba, and then mixed it with nutritional paste and fed it to her child.
When the king didn't see Wang Ba come back, what he saw was a cheap son who had woken up and had eaten enough, and was lying on the bed and entertaining himself.
Putting the bucket in the innermost position, Wang Ba didn't see Wang Ba tearing a leaf over it and covering it as a lid so as not to fall into the dust, he turned his head to Fengye and said, "Drink this clean water in the future, if there is no water, you call me, and I will fight." β
After saying that, Wang Bu looked down at the bucket that was not very big, and felt that this little water should not last long, scratched his head, and said to himself, "Forget it, I'll go to the guys from the carpentry team and help me get a big bucket." β
Feng Ye couldn't understand what Wang didn't see what Wang Ba was talking about, so he didn't dare to talk easily, but he listened quietly, and only nodded and answered yes when he mentioned himself.
On the contrary, the cheap son who was full on the side, beckoned his little hand to the biggest man in his sight, and let out a giggling laugh, I don't know if this child is talented or what, he didn't feel afraid of Wang Ba not seeing Wang Ba, but was quite close.
Wang Ba was happy when he saw it, "Good guy, it is worthy of being my son, and he has a fate with me." β
Suddenly remembered what the king didn't see, Wang Ba turned his head to look at Fengye, "By the way, what is this child's name?" β
Maple Leaf lowered his head and replied in a low voice, "His name is Tie Zhuang." β
Wang didn't see Wang Ba's expression as an old man in the subway, iron-like? What a bad name, but he can't say anything, after all, he is someone's son, he is just a fake father, "Okay, then I will call him Zhuangzhuang." β
Maple Leaf didn't dare to refute at all, and nodded vigorously.
After finishing the matter of fetching water, Wang Bu didn't see Wang Ba glanced around his new home, and couldn't help but scratch his head again, completely unsure of what he should be doing now? There's no hint for the mission.
I could only turn my head to look at Fengye again, "Hey, by the way, your husband was before...... Ah, what did your last husband do? β
Feng Ye blinked, looked up at the terrifying-looking Wang Bu Wang Ba, and replied in a louder voice this time, "He usually goes to the mining area to mine and change the nutritional paste." β
"Oh, I've got to work, mine, huh." Wang Bu Wang Ba nodded, and after saying this, he ran out of the door in a hurry.
Although nominally NPC Fengye is already his wife, what can he do as a genderless zerg, looking at Fengye like that, he feels embarrassed to stay at home, obviously he is an NPC in the game, how can it be so real.
There was only one Zerg closest to him in this vicinity, so Wang Buwang opened the Zerg spiritual network and found Parker's home directly without difficulty.
Because Parker has become the new overseer, their family is no longer short of nutritional paste and food, so Hulan does not need to go to the mines with his father even during the day, and is now helping his mother at home to do some things, helping to take care of his sister or something.
As for Parker's father, he is still in the mines, but he is no longer so desperate, and he only needs to earn about one or two people a day.
In the words of Parker's father, Parker's becoming a regulator was just a matter of chance, and no one could be sure how long he would last as a regulator.
Parker's father had actually met several Regulators, and there were many reasons why Regulators went down, some of them were too good to their own kind, and some were too bad for their own kind.
Although there have been incidents such as Akuli whipping the miners and beating the two brothers, Parker and Hulan, in fact, there is a supervisor bracelet, and the regulator's behavior is controlled, and the supervisor can impose some punishment on those Tanloner miners, but cannot harm the lives of those miners.
Of course, if the regulator beats the miners to the point of serious injury, and then they die of their injuries, this does not fall into that category, and the restriction on the regulator is that they cannot be allowed to kill people on the spot.
But there are also many regulators who can't take care of those things as soon as their emotions go up.
And there are many examples of accidental murder by regulators like this, most of which were carried out by interstellar people in the back, which is commonly known as euthanasia, and I heard that they would not feel any pain at all.
This is really too ridiculous thing, the interstellar people obviously no longer treat the Tanlons as human beings, but they still have to make some management regulations that seem to be very kind, harmonious, and friendly.
For example, as long as they work, they will be paid, even if the proportion of this remuneration is particularly low, and the nutritional paste used as a reward for them, even if it is often mixed with something they don't know what it is, will still ensure that the nutritional content in it is above the specified value.
There are also requirements for Tanloner women to be over 16 years old before they can get married, etc., some of the regulations that are very humane when taken out separately, with the situation of Tanloners, seem so ridiculous.
So Parker's father thought about it for a long time, and he was worried that his son wouldn't be able to stay in the position of Overseer for longβno one could figure out what the interstellar people were thinking.
I am also worried that if my family is used to living a life without hard work, they will no longer be accustomed to this kind of hard work after his son's accident, so Parker's father still maintains the work of mining every day, but he is no longer so forced to himself, and often takes a break, mainly to ensure his health.
Parker couldn't convince his father. He could only agree, although he was very confident, but he couldn't easily tell his parents.
It happened that Hulan was at home, and after hearing Wang Bu Wang Ba's request, Parker asked Hulan to take Wang Bu Wang Ba to the mining area to experience the daily life of the Tanlong people.
After all, Parker still has a regulator bracelet on his body, and Parker doesn't dare to let himself spend too much time with Wang Buwang Ba, so as not to let the Overseer bracelet detect something wrong, Wang Buwangba's body shape is too special.
Hulan hated this strange creature called the Zerg in his heart, but since his brother Parker had become like this, he could only pinch his nose and accept it, and communicate with this group of creatures he hated, even if he was very clever not to show this.
Of course, even if Hulan doesn't hide it, Wang Ba may not be able to see it, after all, he only regards this group of Tanlonger people as NPCs in the game, and he is not the kind of research party that will conduct various analyses of the game's plot, let alone take the initiative to observe the expressions and attitudes of NPCs.
Hulan didn't take the initiative to communicate with Wang Buwang Ba, anyway, he only had to lead the way, and silently took Wang Buwang Ba into the mine, the entrance of each mine cave is large and small, fortunately, even the smallest mine can ensure that Wang Buwang's body can pass smoothly.
The scenes in the mines are very different, some lead to the mountains, so the whole will appear relatively flat, the whole route is interspersed with straight into the mountains, and some mines are dug underground, the further down you go, the steeper it becomes.
Finally reaching the innermost position, Wang Ba saw a scene that surprised him, a huge high-tech machine with dozens of steel arms, constantly digging ore from the wall, and then placing it on the ground piece by piece.
One by one, the upper body of the miners, covered in all kinds of dust and scars, silently formed a long procession, one by one stepped forward to remove the cut ore from the ground.
However, the progress of this machine is not very fast, because when it is excavating, it also has to pay attention to the stability of the entire mine to avoid collapse.
Maybe if hundreds of Tanlonians die, the interstellar people won't care, but if something goes wrong with such a machine, the interstellar people will also be distressed.
So the miners who carry the ore will sometimes line up in a long line like this to get their piece of ore.
But at the same time, the interstellar people also gave these Tanloner miners another option, that is, there is a row of ore pickaxes next to this machine, if there are Tanloner miners who come late and don't want to queue up, they can take the ore manuscript by themselves, dig out the ore in the area divided by the machine, and then carry it out.
The interstellar even gave them a choice.
