"I should really get some mouse traps and rat poison!" The chef could only sigh in front of the spoiled food in the kitchen, and called the cleaning robot to clear these things to the garbage dump, and then began to carefully Disinfection, God knows if there are any terrible viruses or bacteria left behind.

"I'm so fed up with these rats! They're digging holes all over my farm, damn it, at least twenty pounds of wheat, twenty pounds! For twenty pounds of wheat

Dude, they almost ruined my whole greenhouse!

The supervisor of the greenhouse was also extremely troubled by these rats. These little things, who did not know whether they smelled warm and sweet, burrowed into the greenhouse from the ground, and then frantically destroyed the water pipes, heat pipes and crops he set up.

"This is normal. Wild animals are like this. There are abundant food and garbage in areas where humans are active, and the inside of the greenhouse is warmer than the outside. They will naturally find ways to sneak in. The technical team is already thinking of a way. Also, no eating Rats!" The doctor shook his head, "Rats may have a lot of poisonous bacteria, do you want to get the plague? Our medicine can treat it, but you have to lie in bed for several days.

"The technical team is going to solve this problem with a deep underground vibration sensor and a layer of beast-repelling sound wave device, which will have a strong effect on the balance and movement of rodents."

Not far from the landing point, underground, refugee camp, "Look, what good things we got!"

"Is it the food of those ancient apes? It smells so delicious, what is it made of?" A cub quickly climbed up on the milky yellow cube, and bit off a piece vigorously.

"Who knows, they still have eggs and a lot of flour, which is much better than the ones we eat, and there is a plant that produces many large grains of grass seeds." But the plant is too tall, and the rats have to eat it. Don't bite off its fragile branches, let it fall down to collect those green and juicy sweet grass seeds.

"However, someone didn't come out. He was too greedy. He dug a warehouse in the yard of the ancient ape and threw all the grass seeds he collected into it. In the end, he was caught by the ancient ape."

"That should be miserable, right?"

Stealing food and destroying farmland are serious crimes in a rat society

Rats have strong fertility, and they will soon run out of food, so they pay great attention to savings, farming and animal husbandry, and family planning.

Stealing food may lead to abnormally many rats and reduced rations in the entire city-state. If it is not handled properly, a city-state will be completely destroyed.

"He was hung up, but he's not dead, I guess he's almost dead JJ

O

"Good news, Boss, the ancient ape left a lot of food outside, and the brothers are all waiting and watching. As soon as those iron monsters of the ancient ape leave, we will go get those good things back."

"Hurry up, let's go!"

Refugees who only brought necessities can't go far. They can only try their luck in the wilderness to see if they can find some food and herbs. Therefore, some people can only boldly go to the territory of those ancient apes Look, I just wanted to say that with the size of the ancient ape, there must be food scraps that they forgot in the corner.

As a result, unexpectedly, the warm palaces of the ancient apes, as well as a large number of grass seed crops, enough food to feed hundreds of thousands of rats, were piled together like this, so...

——Everything went smoothly——There is so much food in the ancient ape thing, so what does it matter if we just take a little?Besides, they also put down currency or—part of money, didn't they?

It's just that the warehouse manager is jumping and scolding that the mouse has bitten his bag, and he also littered the floor with sawdust and rubbish from nowhere.

Because the currency of the rats is made of thin wood chips that are only as big as their claws, and the hard currency is strong and filling grass seeds and hardwood for grinding teeth.

Chapter 120 Two

Chapter 120 Two

The reconnaissance plane flew across the endless land, with green grasslands and vegetation below it, and various wild animals could be seen multiplying wantonly on the land. Finally, the reconnaissance plane landed on an aerial platform, and the entire island was pulled towards it by gravitational cables. sky, but not fully pulled toward the orbit but stuck in the air.

"It's worthless. The metal content of the rock blocks here is too low. The content of iron and copper is barely enough, but other rare metals and elements have almost no mining value."

The miners pulled out their prospecting rods and expressed their pessimism about the state here. However, this Pacific island was not pulled into orbit for mining, but as an artificial satellite foundation for the construction of a space port.

The island with a diameter of about 23 kilometers, of course, caused devastating damage to the surrounding environment. The seawater receded at an alarming speed under the pull of gravity. As the surrounding seawater filled in, the tide quickly submerged the adjacent land, forming a huge tsunami.

As far as planetary engineering is concerned, this level of impact is already very low. The island continues to rise. As it rises, engineering drones and various machinery are also strengthening the boundaries and wrapping rocks with a material similar to cement. .

After a long time of trials and tests, what is the most suitable building material for space in the universe?Countless planets and asteroids give the same answer: rocky.

Rock reinforced with metal and concrete is very suitable as a space station. It has good thermal insulation effect, extremely wear-resistant material characteristics, and is not easy to heat up or cool down. The thick composite rock layer is the only magic weapon to block high-energy rays. The density is not high It's not cheap, and it's easy to process—except for the tricky problem of how to send it into space, it's really suitable for building some structures in the universe.

Playing with stones is a traditional performance of Homo erectus. Therefore, when this irregular island rises to the stratosphere, it has become a regular conical shape, and the circular surface is also built to guide towers and spaceships to berth. The groove area, and the respective automated engineering equipment and conveyor belts are expanding and spreading at an alarming speed.

"Fix it near the impact point to stabilize the impact point's course, so that we can obtain resources from Mars and Tethys more conveniently. In addition, the moon's nitrogen three stocks are much smaller than predicted, and the lunar soil also has We suspect that a highly developed civilization has been here before.” The chief mate reported the current progress of the project and the information collected.

"It may also be that a highly intelligent civilization has left this planet. It is not news to me that human beings kill themselves to death." Xiaoxiao complained.

"Is the manufacturing process of meat and grains done?"

"It has been completed. Meat products and grains have entered the mass production stage of the assembly line. We have established 140 farms and [-] plantations on the ground, which is enough for us to eat for a long time even by your standards. "

"What about the fish?"

"The ocean development team is still trying to fix some islands and reefs, and should be able to get a lot of fish."

"It's not very convenient to carry out sacrifices here, but the number of sacrifices also needs to be considered." For a serious interstellar civilization, it is not difficult to feed the blue things, and it is even less of a problem to feed the little ones.

"I suggest not to crack the earth." "I know, I don't have that plan either." Xiaoxiao doesn't plan to crack the earth here either.

"By the way, the communication array hasn't received any signal yet?"

"At least there is no incoming signal that we know of." The human beings in the dead space have spent a lot of effort to find out whether there are other advanced civilizations in the universe, but they found nothing. Finally, when the blood moon appeared, they realized this. why

o

"Forget it, that's the end of today's working hours!" Xiaoxiao announced that he only worked 4 hours a day. The leader who set an example was very popular with everyone, because everyone really only needed to work for 14 hours, which was different from the past [-] hours. Compared with the hourly work system, it is like heaven.

And it's hard to say that these four hours are really working, especially those guys on the ground who let themselves go. To put it in a better way: they are collecting animal and plant specimens, exploring terrain, inspecting mineral distribution, and managing plantations—— Actually: outings, outings, picnics and farm stays.

Fresh air, for free!Clean fresh water, for free!Zero plastic wheat and natural meat products, free of charge!Proper sunshine and wonderful blue sea and silver sand are still free!Is this work for workers who used to live in a dead space where they had to watch the bills counted in seconds?What a vacation!

"Respect the church!" "Respect the church! 0v0?" The workers raised their water glasses and cheered that it was time to get off work, and then rushed to the cafeteria. Here, every day's menu is worth looking forward to, "Fresh whole wheat toast , wild raspberry jam, 3 eggs per person, a pound of original roast beef, sauces include mushroom sauce and black pepper sauce."

"Where's the pork and seafood? I saw the marine survey team bring something to the sea!"

"Go to the captain and ask for it. She finished eating and left nothing for you, yes,

Including 200+ pounds of tuna and 1 pounds of stickling crab, [-] seabass and rayfish at least a ton

There are more, and there are [-] tons of free-range fragrant pork.

No one said anything, after all, the biggest taboo issue on board is: the boat

How much food do you need to eat every day

And among the sailors it is said that if the captain

If you can't get enough to eat, you can only feed her the waste that doesn't work, and she can eat an adult without dipping sauce.

"No, our output is not that low, the ocean survey boat can at least

In order to hold 50 tons of fish catches, 1 farms must produce at least [-] tons of pork and beef every month! "

"The rest should be made into reserves for other brothers to eat, or are you planning to eat a nutritious meal for half a year after this meal?" I have to think about it later.

"The captain has to eat so much food every day, and it will take us several months to raise it. She is still picky, or are you guys going to dedicate yourself to feeding the captain?" The cafeteria suddenly returned to calm. , Cooking and eating honestly, no one complained about where those high-end ingredients went.

"Wait, I volunteered to work overtime in the biological investigation team after eating!" Finally, a smart person realized a certain loophole, "Cook, prepare me some heating tools and condiments for supper."

"You want... oh, I'm going to work overtime too!" When you catch and eat now, you don't have to worry about the captain and food reserves. When you come back after you're full, everyone's enthusiasm for "overtime" becomes very high.

At the same time, at the seaside, although it is useless, the team in charge of ocean surveying still brought a silly stone statue, which is said to protect the catch and safety of the sea. It is probably really effective. Catch a lot of seafood.

As for the measurement work, the measurement work is being done, at least during working hours, but it is not off work now, and the automated measuring equipment is in operation. As long as there is no problem, you only need to guess and choose An unlucky guy can just stay on duty. O

"The population of aquatic organisms is rich and the number is huge, but the seawater still detects unnecessary pollution particles." The crew all went fishing, but the scholars in charge of environmental inspection did not have that kind of leisure mood. The state of this planet is a bit Not quite right.

If it is the earth after human beings left, it is too clean, if it is human beings

The earth before its birth was also too clean. The former one was too clean because no traces, rubbish and man-made objects left by humans were found. The latter one was too clean when species

O

Compared with the ancient earth in history, the number of species is too small, and the similarity of species is highly similar, which should be a sign of wilding of the same domesticated species. These are two completely contradictory conclusions.

The former shows that this planet has not been polluted by civilization, while the latter shows that this planet once had a developed civilization, but the question is: where did they go?And their relics and products?

"The test result is oo... plastic?" Plastic particles, this should never appear on a primitive planet, especially such particles can be found casually in seawater. This kind of thing should have been widely distributed on the earth and used.

"Or, did humans try to save the planet and control pollution before they perished? No, if that's the case, there are no traces of man-made artifacts left, and it's not even a single human that can't be found."

"Hey, come out quickly, see what we found!?" The scholar hurried out of the AS cabin, and saw the sailors throwing away their fishing rods and gathering on the side, "That's oo..."

The Little Beaver was struggling to pass through the waves, and the steam stove made a roaring sound. However, the overly light hull and volume made it seem a little anxious when facing the almost insignificant wind and waves.

As for ship power, even if steam power is used, its structure, material and volume mean that its output is very low.

The small size of rats is really not suitable for the development of most industries. Humans are actually a "large animal" in nature. Humans' arm strength can do more than 200 joules, which means that most early machines are not as good as humans The strength of oneself is stronger.

For human beings, they can use their own power to leverage greater natural forces

, better use of water, fire, and other mechanical powers, but, for the rats, all the technologies used by humans are beyond their reach.

The smallest kinetic energy weapon for human beings is no different from engineering facilities for rats. Gunpowder is too explosive for rats. The containers that their physical energy can forge cannot restrain the power of gunpowder at all. Even if they can, the weight required is not enough. Rats can bear it.

Including steam engines, stoves, ships and vehicles, these are all technical difficulties that are difficult for small creatures to overcome. However, small size also has the benefits of small size, small size, low energy consumption, and light weight. For human beings, materials that are useless to us can be well utilized, but for rats, they can build magnificent creations.

Humans cannot use kites to fly into the sky, but rats can. It is difficult for humans to use crude materials to make submersibles, but rats can.

And the Little Beaver is the sea transport ship of the rats. It is said that it is a transport ship. The farthest place it has been to is just an offshore island and reef. For the rats, it is like landing on a new continent.

"Hold the rudder, the storm is coming!" The waves tossed this little toy-like boat up and down, and it struggled forward on the sea, but for human surveying boats, this...is just a daily routine. Just the waves.

"We're about to reach our destination, and we're about to see the cave port!" The boat crossed the sea at a very slow speed, and entered a small cave on the side of the island reef, whether it was natural or man-made.

"It's really amazing!" The scholar had a surprised expression on his face. What he saw was a few rodents, like humans, holding sails and a steam stove like a teapot, driving a boat that was no more than one meter long. After crossing the sea surface of more than 300 meters, I landed on another huge reef.

It seems that there are more secrets in the reef, "Release the unmanned submersible!

A spherical device was released and quickly approached the reef.

The interior of the reef has been hollowed out by rats. Wood and ancient plastic products constitute a prosperous sea fishing port. Using winches and algae, rats can also carry out fishing operations. Although many sea fish can swallow rats in one bite, even Together with their ships, these hardy rodents survived offshore.

They have even developed their own unique culture, using corals and algae, they raise small sea shrimps, hunt hermit crabs with trebuchets and nail-like long swords, use cranes to catch scallops and hang Leviathans—very common salmon .

"Dang Dang Dang!" The boat clock rang, and the steamboat slowly approached the pier, "It's all good hardwood and grass seeds!" The cabin is full of hardwood, hard grass seeds and nuts, and the teeth of rodents grow It is very fast, but it is difficult to find teeth grinding tools on the sea, so hardwood and grass seeds that are both food and teeth grinding tools can be sold at a very good price here.

And the rich food sources in the fishing port can also make a lot of money by transporting them back to the land. In places that humans don't even realize, the rats have prosperous trade and commercial waterways.

"Caught it!" Under the work of a few coolie rats running wheels, the straw rope on the crane was slowly pulled up, and a struggling sardine was pulled out of the water, and then the rats with weapons like iron nails leaned over and grabbed the sardine. It stabs to death, then pulls to the dock breakdown area to be split.

"Really, it's a pretty good fishing port town. If you light oil lamps and add a few boat songs, it will have that taste." A small underwater camera is observing this rat town hidden in the reef through the water surface. .

"Why did the price increase again!"

"The weather is bad, so we can't catch big fish, we can only catch armored shrimp, and there are not many leviathans recently." Fishermen said that the harvest is not good, so of course the price will increase.

"Didn't you say that there have been a lot of sea beast tides recently?"

Ryu knows it.It's probably the will of the gods." The other party said that such a thing

I can tell.

As for where the fishing season that the rats were waiting for went, we have to ask what those metal behemoths are doing. Fortunately, the consumption of fishery resources by the rats is really not too large, otherwise, it would be human fishing. The remaining weight in the end will probably cause a famine.
