Leon had never slept in such a high-class place, the bed that had flipped out of the wall was soft and comfortable, and the breeze on his face made him feel like he had gone to heaven, there was no smell of nuclear fog, and the air was moist. And before going to bed, he took a shower, although it was only the military spray compartment of the interstellar forces, but it still made Leon want to cry excitedly - there will be a large column of water sprayed on his body from all directions, warm and powerful, and it is clean water, he couldn't help but shout at the water column in the spray compartment, choking himself half to death, and then vaguely heard the howl of the fat man from the spray compartment next to him, like a hot iron suddenly immersed in cold water, passionate and enthusiastic.

Leon lay in the little orange sleeping compartment, reluctant to fall asleep, he carefully examined the fabric under him, and touched the softness with his calloused fingertips, he had never seen such a delicate fabric, more gentle than a purification suit. Maybe that's what it feels like in his mother's arms, he thought.

Actually, it's just a high-density cashmere blanket.

Leon fell asleep in his mother's arms, and in his dreams, he stood again in the high white passage. A child beside him who was as pink as a peach said to him, "Ang, shall we be together forever?"

"Hmm!" Leon heard his own tender voice...... But what is a peach......

The next day, the four of them followed Oolong to the fifth district of R57 to discuss a solution with Sir Columbus. Wu Daiye has been missing, and seems to have gone depressed alone.

On the road, the regularly lit ultraviolet rays began to emit a brighter light, and the scene of thousands of lights disappeared, replaced by the endless prosperity and the gradual bustling Dragon Valley, which gave Lyon a glimpse of what is called prosperity and what is called wealth.

Unlike the dilapidated and poor conditions of other settlements, Dragon Valley has its own material processing factories and large breeding farms, capable of processing all kinds of strange building materials, those built strangely shaped houses are distributed on the slopes on both sides, with the terrain undulating, quite the style of an old Italian town, although not neat, maybe a red spire house is simply made of Geng cow dung cake, but it is definitely a house, and relatively spacious.

A large number of captive livestock and the derived non-staple foods, mixed with all kinds of unheard of new gadgets, fill the bustling roads on both sides. The road that runs through the entire Dragon Valley is the main place of activity for the Chiwu people in the first district, as long as they walk on the road named "Dragon's Back" by themselves, they can exchange any materials, of course, only daily necessities and food, metals and weapons and other things, which are not allowed to be traded in the Chiwu gathering place, and can only be obtained with the approval of the elders in the third district.

The Chiwu people have a clear division of labor, and each of the five districts has its own work projects, and Locke Duoji turned out the base drawings that were secretly scanned with the fruit core the night before from his brain, and then quickly analyzed that the Chiwu people just made full use of the old biological circulation system of R57, and the original construction pattern of this base was simply like a design for closed survival.

R57 has timed ultraviolet irradiation, a water synthesis recycling system, a waste disposal system, a large planting box, a livestock farm, etc., and even a small printing and dyeing factory, which is a complete luxury for a gathering place. And all of this is based on a huge energy furnace, although they don't have enough energy to start all the facilities, but just to maintain the current operation, the energy usage is also outrageous, Locke Dorjee quickly estimated that the energy consumed by the entire Dragon Valley every day is at least equivalent to one-tenth of Gael's. You must know that Gael has a variety of outputs in exchange for energy, and the Chiwu gathering place is completely supplied with energy by war ashes for free, if you don't understand the real tragic fate of the Chiwu people, this place can be called a paradise.

The abundant material conditions coupled with the devout belief in the worship of the beast god make these simple Wu people live a healthy and optimistic life, like a large group of carefree children. Tuoba Hongyan really invested in feeding his organ cultivator.

The four teenagers followed behind Oolong, looking at these happy Chiwu people, like watching a group of meat worms walking around, their feelings became more complicated, they were the best of all the outcasts in the gathering place, but they were also the saddest of all human beings.

"The front corner is here" Oolong said abruptly, he kept his face tense all the way, as if he was very dissatisfied with the task given to him by his grandfather, Oolong was unwilling to play such a role, he felt that Columbus was a more qualified grandfather.

The fifth area of R57 is a special existence, it is the only area in the base that is located under the Dragon Valley, and the conditions are also relatively the best area, because this is the former R57 technician living area, and it is also the "nursery area" of the current Chiwu gathering place.

When they first heard the word, Leon and the others were very surprised, and they couldn't understand what kind of existence it would be, and why everyone had to raise all the children together. Oolong was also puzzled by their reaction, and in Oolong's view, all living things were nurtured in this way.

"Isn't your gathering place like this?But there is no nursery area, where are the children?" Oolong clicked his yellow eyes, his pupil color was different from that of his grandfather Uday, and the mutated gene stimulated by the bones required the use of yellow neutralizers, so Oolong's eyes and hair gradually turned yellow.

"Of course, children are born to their parents, raised by their parents, who will take care of other people's children!" Fei Jiama couldn't help but interject, among these people, he is the most qualified to describe the human society outside of Dragon Valley, because the fat man grew up with his parents when he was young, and there are many relatives around, Leon and Black Forehead are orphans, Locke Dorjee is not much better, there is no mother at the age of four, and his father is more like a high-ranking leader...... Although in the troubled times, these four people are much more indifferent to the feelings of their parents and relatives, but after all, they have a deep-rooted concept of parental affection, so they can't understand the customs of the Chiwu people at all.

"All the children of Chiwu are born in the nursery box, only more than 30 years old have not been taken away by the chosen chariot, they are allowed to adopt a baby, so most of the children have no parents, in the nursery area to the age of three will be assigned to various functional areas, adults in the same district will take care of them, but the basic survival has to rely on themselves" Uday introduced the ecology of the Chiwu people with a natural face,

"Born in a nursery?"

"Adoption?"

"On your own at the age of three?"

"What a strange custom this is!"

The four teenagers were even more surprised, and even the black forehead scratched his bald head strangely, he, the outcast who had been picked up by Leon, could not understand this strange custom.

"It's not a custom, it's helplessness" A deep voice sounded, and the deliberately suppressed loud and loud surrounding air buzzed, and it was the tall and fat Columbus who spoke, and it turned out that they had unconsciously walked to Sir Columbus's "beehive".

The fifth area is composed entirely of this honeycomb-shaped vertical beehive, and as far as the eye can see, countless hexagonal bodies stand densely in this underground space, and the most central part is as high as six floors. This kind of building not only saves space, but also saves materials, and the honeycomb combination of uniform specifications is free, and if you want to expand the area of the house, you can directly stack a hole on it, and make very scientific use of every bit of space.

The 40-centimetre-thick white fibre composite material is the main building material that makes up the hive, and the blue-white self-luminous interior makes this underground nursery look clean and quiet. Leon was shocked to realize that the honeycomb under the air purification tower of the Lake Mercenary Regiment seemed to be a few holes in this large component, and it turned out that this honeycomb building could only show their superiority when combined.

The people who can live here are the descendants of R57 technicians, and of course, the "dads" in the nursery area, who basically only live in one or two rooms, but compared with the strange shapes and different materials of the houses in the four districts above, they are more comfortable. In the farther holes, there are thousands of babies waiting to be fed, the oldest is nearly three years old, the youngest is only two months old, and the six-story hive in the center of the third district is the "delivery room", where all the temperature and humidity are controlled, and even the feeding time of each baby is arranged.

Sir Christopher Columbus's hive, the largest, is equivalent to seven of the holes in the foundation, and is divided into two floors, with Medusa occupying one of the upper floors. At this moment, the four of them sat on the first floor of Sir Columbus's beehive in a daze, looking at the instruments, tubes, operating tables, and all kinds of liquid flowing in the tubes in every corner, in a daze.

It is a long and narrow hall with a length of 40 meters, and the partition in the middle of the hole is opened, and only the four 70-degree protrusions above the head will make people feel that this is a long hall composed of four honeycomb holes. Sir Columbus's beehive on the first floor is completely a miniature biological laboratory, fully functional and reasonably equipped, although all the equipment is several sizes smaller, the effect of use is no worse than that of a large laboratory.

Sir Christ Columbus, still wearing his large yellow apron, deftly shuttled through the gaps of the instrument, and after a moment he carefully removed a narrow-mouthed measuring cup from a small furnace with a blue flame, which contained a crimson liquid, still gurgling,

"Divide into six, and add some of the oil......," said Sir Columbus, muttering to himself, as he used a delicate manipulator to divide the crimson liquid into six parts, and put it in a small, slender tube, and then put in some of what he called the oil. is worthy of being a veteran of the experiment, the average of six points of liquid is not bad at all, Locke Dorge looked at it excitedly on the side, and couldn't help asking:

"What is this? Is it a dragon lizard extract? Can it neutralize genetically mutated alienated cells?"

"What do you want, boy?" said Sir Columbus, who half-bowed his head and looked at the whimsical Locke Dorge through the gap above the lenses of his thick glasses, "you think extraction is so easy?"

After speaking, he put the six test tubes on the table in front of several teenagers, and said proudly:

"Here, try my cappuccino"
