Chapter 150: On the Construction Site and in the Base (Give a Monthly Pass)

Isa was born from a medium-sized tribe in the East, and although his tribe had only signed a second-class covenant with the Tooth, he was treated less well in the 'Alliance' than the tribe that had almost become the Tooth's 'own people';

But even so, in the years since the signing of the Covenant, the living conditions of the tribe have really improved dramatically.

Although the food they hunted, every time they had to give it to the tooth for safekeeping, in exchange for some food money, and the amount of food exchanged for the food would be deducted by the tooth in the name of various names.

But Isa didn't understand the twists and turns, he only knew that because the Fangs had established a material exchange point near the tribe, he had far better weapons than before.

And every time he went out hunting, he always got more food, and he hadn't felt hungry for a long time, and life was quite comfortable.

This time, he was chosen by the tribe's witch doctors and chiefs to become one of the hundred trolls who supported the 'construction of the west';

Although the witch doctor was full of sorrow when he saw them off, and kept emphasizing that he should not provoke the teeth, etc., in his heart, Isa was actually happy and looking forward to this trip.

As for why, it's not because the Tooth has become the most powerful tribe in the Black Forest, and I've heard that their warriors are also extremely powerful, as a traditional troll, Issa has a strong curiosity about the Tooth and is eager to know what this tribe is like.

The facts did not disappoint him, there were too many things to puzzle him on the way from the tribe to the teeth;

Whether it was the huge ship he had ridden along the way, or the fact that he had thought it was a tooth at first, only to find out later that it was just a few of their stoppings in one of their strongholds on the outside, he was dizzy and incredible.

When they reached what they called "headquarters," the huge city, the towering walls, and the one time they roared past him... It seems that the guy called the cavalry gave him more reverie.

After a meal at the head office and a night's rest on what is called a 'bed', the guide led them to the river, where he led them across the majestic bridge to the other side of the river.

On the way to his final destination, the wolves brought a steady stream of food of all kinds made Isa even more puzzled how Tooth managed to get these cunning creatures to help him hunt.

No. 1 sub-base, No. 2 sub-base... All the way up to the final cavern base, these seem to be newly established strongholds of the Tooth.

There were vast expanses of land that had not been covered by forests, and new 'cities' that were even bigger than his own tribe.....

All of these hit Isa's stupid brain again and again, making him clearly realize once again that his tribe was a scumbag.

Upon arriving at the base of the cavern, a tall, monstrous troll spoke to them for no apparent reason;

Although Isa only understood the phrase "there is a lot of food", he applauded as a tooth troll, and was led to a large house with a small courtyard of its own.

The 'native' who was in charge of showing him the way pointed to the house and said,

"The big house, you live, and when the work is done, it really belongs to you."

What this 'local' said was too complicated for Isa to fully understand, but he somehow understood that the house seemed to be his? Not very sure though....

In Issa's eyes, it doesn't matter if the house is delicate or not, he only cares if it's big enough;

This place was obviously much larger than his original tribe quarters, and even the place where the witch doctor and the chief lived looked like a simple cave compared to this place.

He was so happy about this that he happily moved in.

He knew that he was here to work, and although he didn't know what to do, he must not be far from what he had to do in the tribe, right?

At first, he thought so, but when he saw the big guy, Isa was confused for the first time about what he needed to do here.

Lumbering? He'd done it in the tribe before, but it wasn't supposed to be like this....

Before the establishment of the tooth exchange station, logging was a rather annoying task, which can be described as cumbersome and boring. He had to use those tattered bone and stone tools to hollow out the trunk little by little, and he couldn't use the huge strength of his body at all, for fear that he would accidentally break the precious tools.

It's not that he cares much about the tribe's resources, but every time he breaks it, the chief will starve him for a day, and sometimes beat him severely.

Of course Isaac will resist, and all the trolls who are beaten will resist, but he can't beat it....

Well, maybe it was the old witch doctor who beat him, then he might be hesitant to fight back, although that old thing looks weak, but in general it is still quite respectable.

The topic was a bit off the rails, when Isa saw these big creatures that looked like monsters, but with two or three tooth trolls riding on them, buzzing and breaking a row of trees at once;

After that, another big guy who looked quite similar, but was a little different, came up, and dug up the stumps and roots that were quite difficult for his tribe to handle with a few strokes, and filled in the soil by the way.

Although he didn't understand the word "efficiency", this speed shocked him more intuitively, and then he wondered what he was doing here, what else could he do?

The answer came quickly, the troll of the teeth... It seems to be a guy called 'Captain', who gave him large buckets, sledgehammers, shovels, and other tools;

Although this guy has a strange name, he is still quite good, and he patiently familiarized himself with the future work with Issa.

Issa adapted quickly, and followed the trolls around him who didn't know him, and set out on a mission in the area they were assigned to.

He sought stones, crushed them, and milled them into powder;

Dig deep into the ground to separate debris such as dirt and pebbles;

The soil is collected separately and then piled into several concave mountain-like shapes;

Carrying a large wooden barrel to draw water from the stream, and then pouring a certain amount into the hollow above the mound under the guidance of the 'captain', and adding stones that had been previously ground into powder;

Then the captain would carefully take out a wooden bottle from his bosom and pour it into the near-mixed pile with great preciousness;

Issa's task is to keep stirring and stirring with a shovel....

He thought it was boring, but as long as he could complete the workload specified by the captain within the specified time, he could eat enough;

And if you can do more, you can also eat delicious food that you have never tasted before, I heard that it is called barbecue, cheese, milk...

Isa is quite capable, and can complete extra tasks and receive a delicious meal almost every day.

Although the amount received was very small, it also greatly stimulated Isa's taste buds and made him more enthusiastic about his work.

After six or seven days of such a pleasant day, Issa ushered in a 'change'.

A guy who looked about as smart as the Tribal Witch Doctor approached his team and said he was going to 'train' them.

Isa didn't understand what the troll called the apprentice meant by 'training', but from that day on, he began to live a 'nightmare'.

He has free time at 2 lights a day and can do whatever he likes...

Usually, Issa will fight in the ring or find a pleasant female to mate with.

Whether on the construction site or in the city, you can meet many females from other tribes;

Some females like to mate with males who have won the ring, while others will go into the ring on their own and then mate with males who have defeated them.

Isaa is still strong, so he can always find someone willing to leave with him... Or the female who is willing to take him away, but unfortunately the beauties of the teeth are not too willing to pay attention to him.

Except for the two happiest lamps above, there are six lamps for sleep at the rest of the time, sometimes during the day and sometimes at night;

There are still 30 hours of work to go, and the work he does is still the same as before, although it is boring, far less interesting than hunting, ringing, and mating, but the rewards are still something he expects, so Issa doesn't hate it.

None of the above was much, fun or boring, but Issa thought it was generally good.

But the next 10 hours of 'training' is a well-deserved nightmare.

In the 'training', he has to learn the hell's 'new troll language' and memorize some inexplicable and strange symbols;

Then there were a few guys who would tell him stories that seemed to be called 'history' and what it was about 'the trolls of the world are one family', but Isa didn't understand it at all.....

However, after taking a few lessons, he also understood some things, such as "captain" and "apprentice" are not names, but represent identities similar to "chief" and "witch doctor";

In addition, the greatest troll of the Black Forest from ancient times to the present day is called 'Nesta', who is the pioneer who leads all the trolls to eat their stomachs and embark on the road to civilization, and is the natural leader of all tribes;

Isaac was able to understand a little more story each day than the day before, and gradually became a fan of the powerful troll, and learned... Or I was forcibly taught two ways to write 'Nesta', and two ways to write 'the trolls of the world are one)....

The apprentice who taught them said that 'Nesta' was a word that every troll had to be able to read and write;

And 'the trolls in the world are one', is the belief that every troll must keep in mind.

Isaa was a persuasive person, and obediently followed the learning, although the writing was like a dog crawling, but no matter what, it was considered a success.

In addition to these teachings in the classroom, there is also a part of the training that takes place outdoors, which is 'engineering truck driving'.

During this lesson, Issa finally climbed up to the big ones that had shocked him and realized that they weren't monsters, but tools made by his teeth... It's like a broken spear and a broken axe in your own tribe.

~~~~~~~~~~~

The sub-bases are operating in a normal and orderly manner, and Nesta's side is once again engaged in research.

Previously, he did obtain a little tissue sample of the cave wolf by recovering the injection needle;

However, since the injection head only barely squeezed into the surface of the cave wolf's skin, and there was very little tissue left on it, Nesta had to repetition multiple injections to obtain some samples.

He stored some of it in the freezer, and the other part was taken to the ice crystal chamber where he was hand-cultivated, ready to be observed with a microscope.

The observation of the Cave Wolf Organization was not as convenient as when the magic power flowed into the giant tree and was directly perceived with spiritual power;

The reasons for this are as follows:

The formation of the giant tree is carried out with the participation of Nesta's own hands, which can barely be understood as "leaving a back door", so it can be directly used to use the foolish "magic penetration" to perceive as if looking at one's own body.

The Cave Wolf Organization is different, the Cave Wolf is born naturally, and it has almost nothing to do with Nesta's magic, so naturally there is no 'back door' left."

And the use of perception probing is not brainless to use magic to recklessly, there must be magic to act as a bridge to extend the observer's perception to the past.

At present, this kind of bridge can only be used by 'acoustic detection', but its observation level is not accurate to 'cells'".

Therefore, this step must be carried out with the help of a foreign object such as a microscope.....

The ice crystal microscope and the 'Extreme' microscope saw an unusual cell appear in front of his eyes, its internal structure almost overturning Nesta's perception of living things, and its cell composition can be said to be completely different from that of other wolves.

How to say it.... Even the lord wolf actually has a fairly traditional internal structure of the cell, with a nucleus, energy conversion unit, etc., and there is only a relative gap between it and the rest of the wind wolves, giant wind wolves, and even ordinary wolves.

However, the Cave Wolf seems to be completely different, especially in terms of energy conversion units, unlike other creatures, which are so large and small, that part of its cells seems to be completely absent.

Moreover, these cells have been out of the body for a long time, but they have never appeared in the decline of malaise and exhaustion, although the life activities are incomplete, but the internal operation has always been maintained.

'None? So what does it rely on to support life activities? And it has such a strong vitality. “

Nesta was puzzled, and he tried to inject mana into the cell, trying to see if he could see anything.....

Indeed, a different change came into his eyes....

There is a huge nuclear structure in the center of the cell, and Nesta originally judged the identity of its nucleus from the characterization and subconscious;

But now, this 'nucleus', which he had previously thought, was supported by more and more magical power, showing its unusualness, as if it was an organ that could breathe, expanding and shrinking slightly.

'It seems... It seems like... Not quite like a nucleus? Rather, it's more like a large energy conversion unit? “

Such thoughts appeared in his mind, and became stronger and stronger as he observed.

Because with the activation of this 'nucleus', the rest of the surrounding units also come alive as if they were injected with fuel.

Even if that were the case, where did its nucleus go? Didn't this guy's body think about self-replication at all when it was being formed? ...... Immortal Seed?? “

And with such an exaggerated energy conversion unit, what kind of energy does it usually convert? Could it be that the cave wolf has an engine stuffed in its body? “

Nesta repeatedly observed the inside of the cell, but really did not find a substitute nucleus structure;

And almost all of the units are like appendages of this huge energy conversion nucleus, at least on the surface, they seem to be moving around it.

Nesta thought of his previous experience, in the energy level jump, the energy conversion unit of the cells in the body seems to show an extremely obvious upward trend in general;

For example, the long-acting muscles, which used to occupy most of the basic units of the muscle structure, have far fewer energy conversion units than the stressor muscles, which are now in a rising proportion.

But in any case, 'self-perpetuation' is the underlying logic of living organisms, and at least among all the biological tissues he has seen now, the nucleus is the core of the deservedly core;

All the rest of the structures were in its service, and I had never seen such a strange scene in the body of a cave wolf.

In this cell, the energy conversion unit has not only become the center of operation, but even the nucleus of the cell has been completely lost.....

Could it be that as the level of living things increases, as the body becomes more and more energetic, more corresponding tissues will be born to respond to this change? “

And this structure in the cave wolf cells may be the culmination of this trend? The powerful energy output ability has replaced the self-sustaining instinct and has become the most important bodily function of higher beings? “

'Where's the genetic information of the cave wolf?' Where does the energy come from? What kind of things can a tribe do with this attribute of it? “

Nesta pondered the idea in her head, the first two of which might not make much progress in the short term because of the fact that the actual conditions did not allow it;

But in any case, the cave wolf is there, and one day all the secrets can be unearthed, and he is convinced of this.

Therefore, he is now mainly thinking about the last point.....

'Energy.... If the Cave Wolves can indeed transform a steady stream of energy in an unknown way, if we can find a way to make this energy work for us..."

Niesta's brain instantly came alive, wasn't the process of increasing his energy level at the beginning of his life being through a part of the body surface tissues to continuously absorb light energy, so that the nearby uncontrolled tissue cells could passively proliferate the energy conversion structure under the influence of the rich energy environment in the body, and then get the improvement of the life level?

In this case, can we use these energies of the cave wolves to objectively create this 'energy-rich' external environment, and then use it to improve the energy level of the clan members?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was a feasible way of thinking....

The question now is how to 'extract' this energy.

'Giant Tree.... Plant.... Fruit.... Maybe you can try it? “

Nesta has a certain idea, but to be honest, he is not very confident, so it is not possible to go directly to the 'human experiment';

'I'm sorry for those brutes...."

Packing up his cheap sympathy, he left the makeshift house and found a nearby apprentice who helped him find a large pregnant beast and a bird's egg.

The apprentice was ordered to leave, and not long after, he returned with an ox and handed him the object that Nesta had requested.

The reason why these two 'test products' were chosen is that the fetus and the egg are relatively smaller, and it may be easier to handle when it comes to 'hanging fruit'.

After thanking him, Nesta didn't waste any more time, and immediately took his things back to the giant tree in the center.

The rough-toothed witch doctor was somewhat surprised to see him go and return, and slowly expressed his doubts.

'I have an idea I might need your help....."

Nesta wasn't going to do this research on her own, but was going to work with a few witch doctors who were at the base at the moment, so she spoke openly about her thoughts.

"Ming.... White... Finish... But... Shaman... Too... Few.... Very.... Difficult..."

"Do your best, you don't need too much, just transform a few fruits and see how it goes."

The research began again, and in addition to Rough Fang and Nesta, there were also five witch doctors who were also here, such as Aisara, Tuya, and Gonzalo.

The trolls first worked together to change part of the structure of the tree, mainly in order to give it the ability to bear some fruits again.

Since the number of witch doctors involved is so small, the work is estimated to last for a long time....

But Nesta didn't care too much about time, just single-mindedly doing what was at hand.

During this period, except for him and Fang, the rest of the witch doctors would always leave temporarily because of such and such things, mainly busy with various affairs in the direction of track construction, which slowed down the transformation of the giant tree to a considerable extent.

When all this is done, it is already 3 months later, and the belly of the pregnant animal is several laps larger, which obviously means that the development of the fetus has reached a certain stage.

In addition, the Sharptooth Witch Doctor has finally returned, bringing with him the Wolf Kings' request for a visit.

Nesta thought for a moment and thought that this was something that could not be avoided, so she agreed, letting Fangs go hard again, and informing the Wolf King and his wife of the welcome attitude of the tribe.

The episode brought by the fangs has not changed anything, and the construction of the outside orbit is still going on vigorously, and good results have been achieved.

On the side of the cave sub-base, the roadbed has been laid out for nearly 200 kilometers, and the track has never been progressed, and it has always closely followed the extension of the roadbed;

Due to the construction of the No. 2 sub-base in the east and west at the same time, the progress of the project in a single direction is only half of this side, but it has also reached about 100 kilometers;

The progress of the construction of the remaining sub-bases is also very similar to that of No. 2 as a whole.

According to the calculation of a section of 450 kilometers, there is only about 150 kilometers left between the cave base and the third base, and with the faster and faster progress of the project, it may take about 2 months for the two sides to be truly connected.

In addition, the 'injection head' that had been separated from the surface of the cave wolf a few months ago also showed its 'attitude' under Nesta's observation.

Comparing it to the rest of the body that hadn't changed, Nesta was sure of one thing - the giant tree not only locked up the cave wolf, but even began to rob it of some of its energy as its own nourishment, which was the main reason why it grew so fast.
