Chapter 257: The Converts (1)
With the unanimous truce between Tianzhu and Assam.
In the area under the control of the Assam Division, the construction of various infrastructure facilities is also accelerating.
The Unsan base at the junction of the Darjeeling area and the Jemeng Hung State.
As the engineer pressed the detonation button.
In an instant, a dense muffled explosion sounded from the interior of the mountain not far away, and then most of the mountain passed towards the canyon like a flood.
About half an hour passed, and the valley floor was filled with a landslide, forming a mudstone embankment with a width of 200~400 meters and a height of 80~120 meters.
The river that used to flow from the valley floor has been cut off by mud and rock dikes, and the water level upstream is slowly rising, forming a dammed lake here.
If it hadn't been intervened, it would have been possible to burst the mud and rock dikes this summer due to rainfall and glacial meltwater.
For the possible future dam failure, the Yunshan base is naturally prepared.
Wu Fang, a biomodification engineer, entered the activation command in the console master, and a large number of genetically recombinant termites appeared in a large number of hollowed-out pipes that had been buried in the valley in advance.
These genetically recombinant termites are chimeric with genes such as polyps and lichens, and can be very useful for building underground facilities.
Wu Fang can control these engineering termites to construct the required underground buildings through biocomputers and pheromone equipment.
"Cyntu, you try."
The young man on one side hurriedly stepped forward and manipulated the engineering termites to construct underground buildings.
As a trainee engineer, Sintu is still a rookie, and although he studied civil engineering at a university in Delhi, he is still a rookie in the new human system.
As for why he "took refuge" in the new humans, Cyntu was also desperate.
He once naively thought that he could change his fate by studying hard.
Born in Darjeeling, he is not one of those Black Tianzhu people, nor is he a White Zhu person, but a Huang Tianzhu person, and this identity has brought him a lot of trouble.
Even after finishing college and finding a job that barely made ends meet, it still didn't make much of a difference for his family, after all, he owed a lot of loans in order to provide for his education.
And when he thought that those Brahmins, Kshatriya-born classmates, could easily win at the starting line, Sintu admitted that he was envious and jealous.
Xintu, who coincided with his meeting, happened to go back to Darjeeling to visit his parents, and the family was coerced to the Yunshan base.
At first, he was still in a state of panic, until a few days ago he saw the news of the return of the Tianzhu army in the internal news, plus what he had seen and heard in the base these days, Xin Tu made a decision.
He took the initiative to state his identity and civil engineering to the district administrator of the Yunshan base, hoping to join Assam.
For this kind of person who took refuge and had relatives in the control area, the base did not refuse, but gave him a job as a trainee construction engineer.
After joining the construction company, after a few days of rapid training, Xintu is now involved in the construction of the underground hydropower station at the Yunshan base as an assistant and apprentice of Wu Fang.
He manipulated the interface of the biological computer, and to build a real embankment, if the engineering termites and the biological computer were allowed to rigidly carry out the construction task, not only would the speed be much slower, but also some structural defects would appear.
Therefore, in this process, the construction engineer needs to monitor and adjust, and this is the job of Sintu at this time.
Wu Fang, the designer of the Yunshan Dam, was overseeing the construction of the stepped culvert for the hydropower station.
The Yunshan Dam is largely hidden under a mud and stone embankment, and now engineering termites are building miniature structures from the bottom up little by little.
This kind of building built with engineering termites itself has no steel bars, only a special structural layer similar to a coral reef, and its rigidity is sufficient, but the toughness is not enough, and it is easy to be shaken by the structural layer in an earthquake.
Therefore, there must be enough micro-pipes inside the dam body to accommodate the repair bacteria, or engineering termites must enter it for secondary repair.
Sintu examines the area that has been built very carefully.
He was busy for two hours when a prompt popped up on the computer page.
[Engineered termites have been working for a total of 2 hours and are now starting to rest and eat.] ]
Sintu entered the command and agreed to give the engineering termites rest and food, and he also made himself a cup of Darjeeling black tea.
The tea industry in Darjeeling is one of the few remaining surface agriculture and all tea is collected and supplied to the Assam branch for internal use.
Considering that the engineering termites had to rest for an hour, he came out of the underground bunker, and the engineering control room was set up inside the mountain without landslides on the other side of the dam.
Through the lift, he went up to the ground.
At this time, the location of Sintu was in the middle of the mountain forest halfway up the mountain, and when the elevator came out, it was a camouflaged cave, and walked out from the cave.
Out of the cave, outside the alpine evergreen broad-leaved forest.
He stood on a large rock with a view of the valley in the distance, and the mudstone that was close at hand.
In the mountains and forests surrounded by mountains, it was the first time that Sintu had enjoyed this natural scenery so quietly, and his heart was extremely peaceful.
That kind of tranquility is not because of the tranquility of the mountains, nor because of the washing of insects and birds, but a kind of tranquility from the depths of the heart.
You don't have to face the pressure of loans, you don't have to worry about your parents' birth, old age, sickness and death, you don't have to worry about not having a job, and you don't have to worry about starving to death on the streets.
As long as he is willing to work for the company, the company will arrange everything for itself.
At this moment, he realized.
What is life for?
Is it to be a cow and a horse?
Yes! A person like him can only be a cow and a horse.
In that case, why doesn't he choose a good boss? Before, he didn't have a choice, but now the opportunity is in front of him.
Xintu would rather brush dishes at Homo sapiens than go back to Tianzhu to work as a civil engineer, and during his time at Homo sapiens, he felt happy, seren, and fulfilled.
As long as the company can maintain the current benefits, he is willing to work for the company for the rest of his life, and he also feels indifferent to the requirements for implanting biochips.
After all, implanting a biochip means that he has entered the new human class of Homo sapiens, and it also means that he can easily find many companions who can be trusted unconditionally.
People always like to huddle together for warmth.
But people like to be suspicious.
This kind of contradictory behavior is the root cause of the internal contradictions that are prone to erupt in human groups.
At the moment of becoming a new human, although Xintu handed over a large part of his privacy, it also means that he can form a social world with other new humans that is almost transparent to each other.
Feeling the unity and friendship within the new human race, his soul also completed the transformation little by little in the process.
This is the reason why Xintu's heart can be extremely peaceful at this moment.
Having a companion who can be trusted unconditionally will inevitably give the companion unprecedented courage and strength, because they have no worries, so they have nothing to fear.
In Xintu's quiet heart, a flame was burning.
"If this is the future of humanity, then what is there to fear about death."
"Feeling life again?" Wu Fang leaned against the pines and cypresses not far away, smoking a cigar brought from Honsavady.
Sintu looked at the misty mountains in the distance: "This world can only be redeemed if people understand each other." ”
