Chapter 1164 The Reproduction of Fishmen, the Precious Fish of Baoyu County!

After leaving the Human Resources Department, it was almost dusk.

In the next half day, Su Mo did not rush back to the underground city to prepare for the next battle of Wanjing, but took time to visit Longteng Village and Yuren Village.

Compared with the Hope Village, which has been expanded many times and has a more and more intense living atmosphere.

Longteng Village has a considerable advantage in planning due to its late construction, and it looks more orderly.

Looking down from the sky.

The cement roads that intersect horizontally and vertically divide Longteng Village into several different blocks.

A large block is the factory area of ​​two or three factories of the same type, with some independent buildings in the middle to provide convenient services or goods to nearby workers.

In the middle of several large blocks, there is a circular central park.

It still looks particularly depressed in winter, but some facilities for residents to rest have been moved in in advance.

And in order to prevent everyone from going to and from get off work at the same time, causing commuting congestion.

The factories in Longteng Village adopted a staggered peak system in advance.

From seven to ten in the morning, different factories have different working hours.

Correspondingly, the time to get off work in the afternoon also varies, and the earliest one can take the commuter bus back home at five o'clock.

At this time, many people have already gone to the village entrance after work, chatting and laughing. Ten buses used for commuting are also lined up at the village entrance, and they will leave when they are full.

Su Mo pressed the airship in the corner, took out a special black mask from the storage compartment and put it on his face.

"Help me change the voice later, so that they don't hear it."

"Okay." Artificial Intelligence Zero shook, this is within his ability.

Just block the range sound waves when Su Mo speaks, and then copy and forward it to the outside.

Walking quickly to the crowd, many people who were still talking and laughing were subconsciously stunned when they saw Su Mo in black clothes and black masks.

It's Tianyuan Guard!

A defense force unique to the underground city, commanded by Su Mo.

Last time, when we arrested the newcomers who wanted to take the news out of the territory, these black masks played a significant role. I heard that some people were even beaten half-crippled by them during their escape.

Facing this group of vicious people, it would be a lie to say that they were not afraid.

However, no one showed too much emotion, but just slightly lowered their voices when talking.

After all, they have gone through the initial period of anxiety and panic, and now they have a complete understanding of the situation in Tianyuan Territory.

It is basically impossible for someone to sneak into the territory quietly.

Even if there is, they dare not be presumptuous in the territory of the human Su Shen.

And facing the staff here, even the Tianyuan guards, there is no need for those empty etiquette.

Everyone has their own things to do and their obligations to fulfill.

As long as they have a clear conscience, the territory will never wrongly accuse ordinary people for no reason.

"You, come here."

The processed voice sounded like a mature middle-aged man, and no flaws were detected.

The young man who was called was a little nervous, but he still walked out of the crowd honestly.

"My Lord, I haven't done anything wrong. You..."

"Don't worry, not every guard is here to arrest people. We have other tasks, too."

Hearing Su Mo's explanation, the young man was obviously much more relaxed, and at the same time, he once again showed his talkative nature when standing in the crowd.

"Tell me, if there is anything I can help with, I will do my best."

"Okay, let me ask you a few simple questions."

Su Mo thought for a moment and said softly, "Are you used to working in Longteng Village?"

"Of course I am used to it." The young man blurted out subconsciously, and then he couldn't help laughing: "Speaking of which, I worked in an electronics factory on Earth. I didn't expect that I would still work in an electronics factory after coming to the wasteland."

"Oh? Shouldn't you be bored?"

"Bored of hell!"

The young man flicked his tongue mischievously with a distinctive Guangdong and Guangxi accent.

The people who were listening nearby also laughed, and the scene was completely relaxed for a while.

"Sir, why do you think we hate working in factories on Earth? Is it because we are uncomfortable working there? Or is it because we lose face working in factories?"

"Let's not talk too much, let's do the math and it will be clear. Before, I worked an average of about 11 hours a day in the factory, and I could only get the high salary they promised at the end of the month, 5,000 yuan."

"After deducting the money for food and mailing back home, the 5,000 yuan that can be saved in the end is only about 3,000 yuan."

"What can you do with 3,000 yuan these days? Even buying the latest Apple computer requires saving for several months."

"As for buying a house"

The young man frowned and thought hard for a while, and finally said helplessly: "I don't even qualify for the down payment."

The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional.

The last sentence was a critical hit, and the others who were still making noises next to him quieted down on the spot.

The mature system has indeed raised the lower limit, allowing everyone to live a life without worries about food and clothing.

But it is also constantly depriving people of the opportunity to change their destiny, resulting in higher and higher thresholds for moving up.

"What about now?"

"Now I can earn 35 copper coins a month. After paying off debts, food, and daily expenses, the money I save can buy an independent house in just half a year!"

"If I save for a while longer, I can buy a big house with a yard, raise chickens, grow vegetables, and open the window to let fresh air into my room, without having to pay extra for a foot of sunshine."

"In modern times, this is a villa!"

The young man smiled happily, as if he had thought of the beauty of his future life.

"Don't you want to live in the underground city?"

"Well, of course I want to, but I also know myself." The young man shook his head gently: "The number of places is limited now, and we newcomers will not join in the fun, otherwise it will only add to the trouble."

"Didn't the lord say that as long as you work hard, you will get what you deserve in the end."

So optimistic?

Hearing this unexpected answer, Su Mo nodded thoughtfully.

He thought everyone would compete for the place to stay in the underground city, but the answer he got was exactly the opposite.

Sure enough, the beauty of life can make people ignore those sharp contradictions in certain situations.

However

"Besides buying a house, do you have any other goals to strive for?"

"Yes, yes, I heard a lot of people say yesterday that the first generation of terminals will be released soon. They can communicate with each other in the territory, use mobile payments, and install some small games to play."

Yes, they are indeed young people.

The machines for making terminals have not been fully repaired yet, and the scenes of terminal release have already begun to spread.

Su Mo coughed lightly, and then suppressed his temper and asked other people around him.

The answers he got were nothing more than a few.

House, land, spouse, entertainment activities.

This is almost the same as the needs seen from the territory panel. Once people are idle, they will begin to have spiritual needs.

"Okay, my work is done, you can go."

After interrupting a few chatterboxes, Su Mo walked away and disappeared in the crowd.

Until the airship soared into the sky, it did not attract anyone's attention.

The next stop is Yuren Village.

Compared with the development of Hope Village and Longteng Village, the self-sufficient Yuren Village is becoming more and more wild in construction.

Similar to the setting of a nomadic tribe.

Although the distance between the buildings is not far, there is no border between the two sides.

And with the opening of the river, it has been extended to the other side of the warning wall.

More and more fishmen no longer live in damp and cold buildings, but move their homes to the riverside.

During the day, you can jump out of the window and swim in the river directly.

When you are tired of swimming, you can go home immediately after getting on the shore, which is many times happier than before.

However, due to the approaching spring, the smell of the fishman village is a bit pungent now.

The special smell brought by the little fishmen in heat almost covers the surrounding area of ​​several kilometers.

From a distance, Su Mo saw Moore with the construction team standing at the door and protesting to the village chief Yu Haichao.

"Every little fishman in heat should take a bath on time, otherwise the smell is too bad!"

"Especially recently, these guys have become more and more daring and began to rub mucus on the building materials at will, causing our construction team to be fined 500 copper coins yesterday!"

The huge Thunder Bear is now over two meters tall and looks very intimidating.

However, it is a bit funny to use his height to reason.

"Mr. Moore, it's not that I don't restrain these little fishmen, it's their nature."

"Just like you want to eat five meals a day, can I let you eat only two meals a day?"

"No, I can't eat two meals a day."

Moore shook his head honestly, and then found that he was spared with some anger.

"But the current estrus affects our normal work too much. If we are fined twice, our construction team will go bankrupt!"

"This" Yu Haichao hesitated to speak, not knowing how to explain.

It's impossible for the fishman village to make up for the loss of the construction team? What's the reason?

Besides, although the little fishmen learned the habits of humans and came to the shore from the sea, some things rooted in their genes cannot be completely changed.

If you want to reproduce and mate, you must secrete mucus to change the surrounding environment first.

Only when the concentration in the environment meets the standard can the fishman embryos in the oviparous state meet the basic conditions for growth.

If they stop secreting mucus and take a bath every day.

What else can the fishman village use to expand in spring!

Just then, a shriek came from a distance, and Yu Haichao's eyes lit up.

"The lord is here, let's let the lord judge."

"What, the master is here?"

A fish and a bear turned their heads and immediately saw Su Mo, who pressed the airship, striding over.

Immediately, Moore wanted to hide.

But he was still stared back by Su Mo's stern eyes, and stood there like a pillar.

"What are you doing, bringing so many people to block the entrance of the village?"

A bear led the little fishmen to surround the entrance of the fishman village, which really looked a bit funny.

Due to long-term use of psionic water, Moore's IQ is basically the same as that of a fifteen-year-old human, and he can start to think about some complex problems.

At the same time, the fishman construction team led by Moore is very hardworking and has low wages.

Therefore, apart from some work that required meticulous construction, such as the buildings in Hope Village and Longteng Village, which were contracted by construction apprentices, all other engineering facilities that needed to be built in the wild were handed over to Moore.

Now, with five hundred little fishmen.

The reputation of the fishman construction team has been spread. Recently, the agricultural company seems to have signed an agreement with the construction team to hire fishmen to help build the plantation.

"It's like this"

Seeing Moore awkwardly standing there, Yu Haichao didn't dare to continue to be stunned, and hurriedly told the conflict between the two.

Considering the relationship between Moore and Su Mo, he didn't dare to exaggerate.

"Are you saying that in spring, this smell will be stronger?"

After listening, Su Mo frowned.

"Yes, this is also the reason why our fishman tribe has never been able to expand on a large scale. The smell will attract many enemies, and they will come to attack during our breeding period."

Yu Haichao explained briefly.

The rules of the alien world are different from those of humans. With the blessing of a little fantasy, some aliens need to hunt fishmen to increase their energy.

Even, some aliens are mainly fishmen, and naturally will not miss this breeding time when the fishmen are the weakest.

"I understand. You don't have to worry about this matter. I will take care of it."

We can't let the fishmen stop reproducing in the spring.

Compared with humans, they need a long time to grow up and a certain amount of education before they can start working.

The little fishmen only need one year to grow up and complete the long stage from birth to work.

As the main force of future infrastructure, Su Mo doesn't want to interrupt this process because of some smells.

Wait

No wonder the fishman city in the future ruins is so remote. It has been moved several times from the beginning to the final completion.

So this is the reason!

I didn't pay attention to this matter at the time, but now Su Mo suddenly realized it when he recalled it.

"How was it solved in the ruins?"

He recalled it carefully for a while, until Moore became more and more uneasy.

Su Mo found the fragmentary description he saw in the history of the territory's development from his memory.

It seems that a long corridor-type building was built first, and then covered with water to isolate all smells.

And it was because of this construction that the treasure fish disappeared along the river during the earthquake.

"Moore, I'll give your construction team a project. It can make money and solve all the odor problems now and in the future."

When he heard that there was a project, money to be made, and problems to be solved.

Moore, who was afraid of being scolded just now, suddenly brightened up and beat his chest happily.

"Master, just give your orders, and Moore's construction team will definitely help you do it well."

"Okay, I'll have someone send the design drawings over in two days, and you can just follow the instructions to repair it."

He comforted Moore with two words.

Since the smell in the air was really disgusting, Su Mo didn't want to stay and patrol.

He returned to the airship and looked at the territory map recorded on it.

Su Mo pondered and clicked on a blue square.

It was a lake generated by resource cards when Tianyuan Territory was created.

In the subsequent upgrade of the territory, Su Mo upgraded it again with scraps.

Including the carp in the lake, they also benefited from it.

As soon as he came back from the snowy mountains, Su Mo went to see the evolution of the carp with special properties.

Unfortunately, there was no obvious change at that time, at most it just got a little bigger.

Now it has been almost a year without knowing it, maybe there will be some surprises?
