Earth Survival Guide

Chapter 667 Unconscious Life

To build the city for the Snake King, Gu Tao used half of the drone engineering team, and the remaining half was people from the Snake Clan, and this time...he brought Principal Li over.

This incident is quite interesting. When Gu Tao returned to the present world to discuss the Lushan Economic and Cultural Zone with Principal Li, he showed off the Snake Clan's seal in front of her. Principal Li exploded at that time and dragged Gu Tao He lost his composure and asked him what happened to the Snake King.It wasn't until Gu Tao took out such a large list of photographs that Principal Li believed that he hadn't killed the Snake King, but was building infrastructure for the mountain and sea world.

However, when she heard that Gu Tao wanted to turn the snake-inhabited area into an area dominated by transportation and entertainment, Principal Li was very angry. She asked why it was not built into an education area.Gu Tao didn't know how to answer this, but he just agreed to take the principal there to have a look.

But Principal Li said that she was expelled to the present world and could not go back.

Gu Tao laughed, really.He just raised the long string of tokens and said casually, "Shanhaijie, who dares to stop me?".

In this way, Principal Li, who had been expelled for hundreds of years, once again returned to the world of mountains and seas and stood among her tribe. Although she was a despised half-demon, she stood beside Gu Tao. Who could Dare to laugh?

The nature of the snake tribe is to like damp and soft places, so the requirements for building houses in the settlement area are very high. The conventional construction method is basically useless, because the foundation is drilled in, and the result is all muddy land, so Gu Tao chose it for them. The original construction method refers to the water city of Venice. After a large amount of wood is soaked in a special insect venom, it is directly driven into the water and based on this, houses are built on the wood.

Principal Li didn't understand this.

"Principal, you are not omnipotent. This is the verification result of archaeology and architecture. Dry for thousands of years and wet for ten thousand years, and half a year for neither dry nor wet. Although I have many better methods, this is the most suitable method." Come to build a house, after all, I can’t stay here permanently, right, they have to choose the method that suits them best, and whether it’s expanding the scale or repairing, they can continue this method until they figure it out by themselves.”

"Hmm..." Principal Li nodded, "I really don't know much about this."

"hey-hey."

"why are you laughing?"

"Principal Li, what kind of person was your husband when you got married?"

"He... is a very good person, very easy-going and gentle. What's wrong? Ask this."

"I don't think it's a problem for you to be so single all the time. It's time to find a wife."

"Who do you think is old?" The principal turned his head and looked at Gu Tao with a smirk, his eyes turned into vertical bars: "Let me listen to you."

"I'm sorry, I owe you." Gu Tao patted himself on the mouth twice: "It's time to find a partner."

Principal Li shook his head: "I can't forget him, don't worry about me, just keep going around."

Continuing to wander around the construction site, Gu Tao discovered a very interesting phenomenon.Whether it is building a city for the Dragon King or building a road for the peacock, there has never been a thing called a supervisor, but the snake people actually have a supervisor here.They don't do anything, just wear a little red hat and walk around the construction site with a whip in their hands, and whoever is lazy will be whipped.These supervisors are generally some older elders in the snake group. They strictly supervise the work of the children and grandchildren. Seeing the crying of the working snake clan, Gu Tao can't laugh or cry.

"The snake tribe is very lazy. They are obviously the top three types of spiritual creatures, but they are the worst. This is not unreasonable." Principal Li explained with some embarrassment: "This has something to do with the nature of snakes, or they just eat , besides eating, just sleeping there without moving, and will sleep when it is too cold, so..."

"Well, I have considered it. Although there is winter here, the winter time is very short. And there is a gas stove at the Dragon King's side. There is one more thing here, called heating. Heating is provided from December to February of the next year. This is It is the most difficult three months for snakes, so there will always be a way to get through it. And this can also stimulate the enthusiasm of snakes."

"How to say?"

"There are only nine months in a year for you. During these nine months, the Snake Clan not only has to earn enough for themselves, but also to earn heating bills and winter food. How to earn? There are so many products here. , right, there will always be a way. I used to hibernate, but now I no longer hibernate. The extra three months is very precious. You can use it to do business or have children. Anyway, they make their own arrangements. "

"Why give birth?"

"I don't hibernate in winter, and I have nothing to do sitting at home at night, so let's do it."

"No one is serious." Principal Li chuckled: "I don't trust them a little bit, they can't become diligent."

"The world will force them to work hard." Gu Tao rubbed his nose and came to the water's edge, picked up the monitor and looked at the pier on the opposite bank, which was started simultaneously, and stood proudly with his head up: "Can you imagine the sky full of boats here? "

Ah, the sky is full of boats... That must be a beautiful scene.When Principal Li left the Snake Clan, they were like this now. How many years have passed, they are still like this, the kind who sit at the entrance of the cave all day doing nothing, basking in the sun with their tails flicking, and go out for a walk when they are hungry. In the circle, relying on his characteristic of not dying without eating for several months, his fatigue has reached an unbearable level.

In these years, among the races that have left to the present world, the snake clan ranks first, and the fox race ranks second.

Principal Li knew very well why he ran away, because there was no hope for this race, really no hope.Not a single spark could be seen, and the gloomy atmosphere, the feeling of not seeking advancement and waiting to die was really... uncomfortable.

"This will be the largest waterway hub in the Fourteen Kingdoms, the fastest and most convenient way to travel downstream. The snakes are good at water, right? This is their way out and their best destination." Gu Tao pointed not far away The prototype of the extended port: "There will be ferries here, going back and forth between the two sides. But if the boats going up the river are not pulled by the snake man, it will be difficult to move. The tow is calculated by the kilometer, how much is a kilometer. From here to the Dragon King The port is about 170 kilometers away. Based on the fact that a ship hires two snake men to tow it, each person can earn enough supplies for a family to live by working only ten days a month. But if you want better , work harder.”

Principal Li nodded slightly.

"As for...how to keep them alive, it's actually better to say that the Snake Clan didn't have a good social competition system before. No matter whether you have the ability, talent, or strength, you eat food once a month, and then Eat and wait to die. We just need to live, the best result of hard work is just to eat two more rabbits, what's the point?"

"Does it look like a big state-owned enterprise?"

"Like, so the state-owned enterprises are reforming." Gu Tao said with a smile: "In the future, they will see the prosperity of the world, the enjoyment in front of them and the competition of other races. Do you think there are still a few snakes? Will you continue to eat and wait to die?"

Principal Li nodded lightly: "I see that a large area of ​​wasteland has been reclaimed. Are you... planting something?"

"Of course, I have cultivated the seeds. Sorghum, rice, corn, potatoes and wheat adapted to the high-oxygen environment. If this kind of black land is not used, it is too wasteful."

"But we eat meat."

"Exchange, you have grown food in exchange! There are plenty of vegetarians, and there are also people who can't grow food. As long as it is a resource, you can't distribute it if you have a port?" Gu Tao gestured with his hands He made a big circle: "Here, the future is Shanghai! It is Guangzhou! The length of this river is more than 5100 kilometers, and the widest place is here! It is 130 kilometers wide! What is the difference between this and the sea? By land, follow the normal Freight speed, it takes seventeen days to connect fourteen countries. And the waterway, it only takes seven to eight days to go down the river. In these ten days, even the cost of the waterway is relatively higher, but what about the time cost?"

Principal Li looked at Gu Tao in surprise: "You...how do you know better than me, an aborigine?"

"Because I measure it foot by foot." Gu Tao said with a smile: "The length of this river is about the same as that of the Yangtze River. The narrowest part is 93 meters, the widest part is 130 kilometers, and the average width of the economic and trade area is 75 meters. kilometer."

Principal Li gave Gu Tao a thumbs up, without saying a word.

This is really admirable. People all start to pamper themselves when they reach a certain position, but this guy... To be honest, he can be said to be the most influential person in this world, but he still has the seal of the Fourteenth Kingdom here, step by step He has thoroughly measured the world of mountains and seas, and knows what is suitable for producing what and what is suitable for doing. He even knows it better than the old monsters who have lived here for thousands of years.

What is he plotting?At least Principal Li didn't know.

"Aim high."

At noon, Gu Tao and the workers ate the same thing, a kind of barbecue in a bamboo basket, which was greasy and tasteless, and had a smell of hair. Principal Li didn't want to eat it, but Gu Tao didn't want to eat it. Eating with those workers is full of oil.

"I am a person who is not afraid of suffering, and the seeds of civilization flow in my blood." Gu Tao pointed to himself: "As long as I am willing to do, I never ask what I want. Glory spreads to all places where human beings can and cannot exist, this is something I have engraved in my genes."

And when he was bragging, there was a student next to him who recorded everything he said in a small notebook.

Small notebooks handed down from the ancestors... Ever since these young people discovered that Gu Tao would always carry notebooks with him, this habit of carrying notebooks has suddenly become a trend. On the top, that is uneducated, and the bottom of the chain of contempt.You know... Ballpoint pens are very expensive here now, and the guards who guard the Kyushu formation rely on relatives and friends in this world to smuggle them here to use them, and the price is very high.There were traveling merchants before, but now there are no traveling merchants, so this pen needs half a wild boar or ten rabbits, which is quite expensive.

In fact, what Gu Tao said is correct. He himself is a scientific expedition team member who came to Earth. Now that the centaur civilization is gone, he is actually very insecure. The only thing he can do is continue to work, no matter where he goes It's all work.

Although he is usually like a lazy dog, when he was actually working, he was not ambiguous from the beginning to the end. Even when he was left alone at first, he insisted on completing the tasks assigned to him by his mother planet without any complaints. no regrets.

This is probably... In his own words, it is the quality that is necessary to be an excellent person, the necessary quality.
