Section 90 Development

There have been countless spectacular, majestic and amazing buildings in human history.

The Great Wall, the Tower of Babel, the sea levee, the Hoover Dam... These great buildings may not have been completely destroyed by violent nuclear bombs. They still stay where they should have existed, washed by the cold rain, brutally hit by the whistling wind, silently endured the erosion of radiation and time, and gradually grew old in the long river of time.

In human dictionaries, they have a common word - ruins.

The ruins in the ruins are like ruins, and they are witnesses to the civilization of the era of destruction. When the new generation of humans walk among these dilapidated steel and concrete groups, they may have some inexplicable admiration and yearning for the old era, but they will never want to try to build a building of the same size.

Because, this is really too difficult.

For a whole month, the bent and twisted line on the drawing was only two-thirds completed, but it made everyone in Yinyue Town feel unprecedentedly tired.

Men, women, the elderly, and even eight or nine-year-old children all participated in this difficult and complicated project construction, and no one was left behind.

They knew exactly what this wall meant to the town.

In addition to an excavator that replaced some parts and cleaned the internal equipment with engine oil, the engineering equipment and all trucks obtained from the base were placed on a temporary open space next to the quarry. Several simple trellis supported by stones and wooden beams, covered with waterproof felt cloth, barely providing cover for them. This is the limit that Yinyue Town people can do.

As a last resort, Lin Xiang could only accept Gliffiz's suggestion and hired fifty skilled technicians to fully repair and maintain all the equipment at a high cost of 500,000 Sosbian dollars. This process cannot be avoided. There are also several townsmen in Yinyue Town who are skilled in mechanical repair and driving, but the number is too small to complete the entire work within the scheduled time.

He must make these things work as they deserve before the sowing season comes.

Compared with previous years, Yinyue Town’s spring plowing time this year seems to be earlier.

Two excavators that had just completed maintenance followed a particularly compact road in the center of the town and roared out of the gap specially left by the newly built wall. The heavy metal tracks crushed two parallel tracks on the frozen black soil. With the deafening roar of the engine, the hydraulic press activated a huge bucket nearly ten meters long to fall from the air, inserting the hard tooth deep into the flat ground. Under the control of the joystick, it was like a half-holding human palm to pull upwards, easily digging out huge pieces of soil with several cubic meters.

Except for Lin Xiang, all the people of Yinyue Town were shocked by this powerful and terrifying mechanical force. Every time the black and yellow painted robotic arms fell and dug out a pile of soil from the ground, the onlookers would always give involuntary amazement. Shocked, fearful, and ecstatic eyes kept following the huge fuselage and slowly moving, and each pair of eyes released their longing and desire for a better future.

There are few lands suitable for cultivation in this world. Radiation dust floating in the air will penetrate into the soil surface with rainwater. These tiny particles that are difficult to distinguish or cannot be observed at all by the naked eye can be buried in the middle of the soil for a long time, quietly releasing powerful rays that are fatal. Due to the relationship between its own composition and properties, the soil can only be allowed to be driven by the water flow, spreading this terrible pollution to a wider area. As the plant rhizome absorbs water, the stagnant radiation particles will accumulate near the roots to form a fixed radiation level, and the smaller dust will even enter the plant, completely changing the inherent growth and evolutionary patterns in terms of morphology, habits, etc.

In this world, there is only one way to cultivate - dig the soil layer to a depth where the radiation dust has not yet penetrated, and turn the uncontaminated soil out of the surface to be used for planting.

At this time of year, Yinyue Town always becomes extremely busy.

The excavation level is usually one meter or even deeper, and relying solely on manpower, the efficiency is very slow. Therefore, although there are large areas of idle land around the town, the cultivation area is very small. Wang Biao has also tried to sow seeds directly on the ground that has not been deeply turned, but the corn produced is red all over, and dense sharp thorns even grow on the surface of the stems. The mature ear grains are extremely hard and cannot be eaten at all.

One thousand acres of arable land is the goal set by Lin Xiang for himself and the farming area that Yinyue Town must maintain.

The soft sunlight shines in from the open window of the wooden house, laying a light golden color on all the utensils in the house.

"One thousand acres? Is this possible?" When I learned about the plan, several town leaders, including Wang Biao, were shocked. Last year, the total farming area of ​​Yinyue Town was only hundreds of acres. It suddenly surged by nearly ten times. Does the town have this ability?

"There is no problem using machinery to cultivate." Lin Xiang stretched out his slender fingers and drew an irregular circle from the simple map laid in the center of the table with Yinyue Town as the core: "I talked to those technicians that except for the modified earth-turning machines, the remaining three bulldozers and excess parts can be transformed into harvesters or other machinery. In other words, apart from sowing and daily management, it does not require much manpower investment. With the actual population we currently have, we should be competent."

"Are you so sure?" Wang Biao was still worried about this plan. The new generation of human beings inherited the technology left over from the old mankind, but did not have enough resources to reproduce them one by one. Everyone understands that the power of machinery is far from comparable to human power, but before seeing the truth with his own eyes, no one can easily change his habitual thinking about old things in his mind.

"You will understand when it comes to the harvest season." Lin Xiang smiled. Instead of explaining too much, it is better to prove everything with facts.

The black soil exudes a damp atmosphere in the slightly cold wind. A huge tiller slowly and firmly moved forward on the uneven ground. The powerful mechanical force urged the metal-made plow wheel to fly up and down, crushing large pieces of soil, and spreading evenly along the two wide track marks under the car body on the passing ground.

The old man and the children, full of surprise, held a vine basket full of golden seeds, and according to the traces dug out of the plow teeth on the ground, they evenly sprinkled the dried seeds on the edge of the semi-convex soil surface. At this time, the woman who was following the handheld hoe and followed her and digged through the floating soil next to her and completely covered the intermittent golden thin line.

The excavator that completed deep-turning soil was not idle - according to the plan, dozens of huge water cellars and cellars will be built on the open space behind the town. Although the underground river has abundant water, no one can tell when the dry season will come. Food and water will always be the important materials that the world must reserve first.

The whole spring is busy. People in the town have never been as tired as they are now, and there are always endless things to do every day. When a plan is just completed or is about to end, there will always be new and more plans to be proposed. This rhythmic busyness does not make people feel bored. Whenever they are tired and sit on their own threshold or in the fields, they always beat their sore legs and feet while chatting generously about how rich the harvest this year will be, how strong the defense measures in the town, or how developed the mountains behind the town, etc.... They are very clear that every work they do now is closely related to their own safety, interests, and life. They are willing to give everything for it.

According to Lin Xiang's requirements, a ditch made of stone and cement was introduced from the adjacent part of the underground river and the ground. Through branches as fine as the network, the entire piece of arable land can no longer require human irrigation on a large scale. As for the canal flowing through both sides of the town, it was opened into a vegetable planting site. The carrots and lettuce seeds bought from Emma City have been sown, and green stems have emerged from green and tender stems. Around the clear water flow, the land on both sides is full of beloved green.

If the attitude of Yinyue Town people towards Lin Xiang was only transformed from initial acceptance to later recognition. Then, now they can only describe this handsome young man with a smile on their faces at any time.

The most direct manifestation of science and technology and civilization is practice and various existing products.

The new generation of human beings have inherited all the wisdom of destroying civilization, but they cannot play a coherent role. Lin Xiang will all have them. The only difference is that they cannot reasonably allocate and use existing resources. Lin Xiang, who has the memory of the old era, filled this vacancy. This effective reality naturally aroused the approval and support of the residents of the town.

As summer approaches, the wall that has been working for several months has finally been completed. However, things are far from over - people's joy and joy have not yet cooled down, and Lin Xiang immediately announced another new follow-up plan.

Plants grow everywhere in the wilderness. They survived the nuclear explosion, with tenacious vitality that humans can't imagine. The decades-long nuclear winter forced them to change their fixed habits and evolutionary directions. The cortical parts are more tough, and the developed roots can penetrate dozens of meters or even deeper underground to absorb water. The surface of the tender green leaves begins to grow dense velvets, and even directly evolve into sharp spikes to resist the eating of birds and beasts. In order to protect themselves, like humans, they are using their own unique methods to tenaciously fight against the increasingly cruel nature.

Using an excavator, the roots of the plants are directly dug out, and the remaining parts wrapped in soil are directly buried in a place more than 50 meters away from the fence. Add a small amount of fertilizer and water, and they can quickly grow new roots and quickly form new clusters near the transplant site.

The plants chosen by Lin Xiang are densely covered with sharp thorns on the surface. Most of these plants have evolved toxins that can deal with the nibble. Using their amazing growth rate, they can form a natural barrier around the wall. As for those gaps that are specifically left out, which seem to be available for entry and exit, they also happen to face the direction where the firepower of the warning tower is most concentrated. Especially when the dead corners near the thorn bushes are hidden, there are also huge amounts of landmines buried under the seemingly calm floating soil and stones.

Yinyue Town has a small population, so Lin Xiang can only use this passive defense method to minimize the dangers that the town may encounter.

Emma has become Lin Xiang’s logistics supply center.

Every time he met, Gliffiz would blew his beard and stare at Lin Xiang in anger. It seemed that only in this way could he eliminate the negative emotions deep in his heart. Lin Xiang did not explain at all, but smiled and handed over his credit card and listed a detailed list of various required materials. This strange transaction method has never had a record of failure. In the face of profits and returns, Gliffiz would never be lost in anger. He would always act like a real, unreliable cunning businessman.

On the slope of the back mountain in Yinyue Town, a new low-sized building made of stone was built. The first batch of residents here were five pairs of pigs purchased from Sosbia Corporation for 200,000 yuan through the hands of Glifiz.

This pachyderm animal, which was successfully domesticated and provided enough carnivorous to humans in the history of civilization, has once again become a terrible creature wandering in the wilderness due to nuclear war. Not only were they, but almost all domestic animals in the old era were extinct. In addition to a very small number of luck to escape death, they also had to adapt to the harsh environment of radiation and lack of food. They became extremely violent, and the food recipes also changed from a single plant to omnivorous, carnivorous, and even ate everything. Although the pigs purchased from Sosbia were secondary domesticated, they still had a certain aggressiveness and tendency to eat meat. Children in Yinyue Town were repeatedly warned to prohibit picking up pigpens, and the part near the wall base of the pen was also equipped with barbed wire with hard thorns.

Every time for feeding, the keeper must, under the escort of another armed man with live ammunition, throw the feed mixed with wild vegetables and corn residue from a high place into the feeding trough. Whenever this happens, these terrible creatures with obese body, hard mane and curved fangs on their mouths will always stare at the owner standing outside the circle with hungry and frenzy eyes. In their eyes, the delicious and juicy human flesh is far more delicious than the rough corn residue paste that is rough.

There are fifty hens purchased in the same batch. They are more aggressive than pigs. These obese birds who once only walked between grass and farmhouses, and would "crow" and show off when laying eggs, have been forced by the environment to learn to fly for a long time. According to the breeding instructions that Gliffiz threw to Lin Xiang: every once in a while, someone must be sent to cut off the flying feathers on their wings. This is a very dangerous process that may cause death at any time.

These hens are completely different from their ancestors in the old era. They evolved their teeth like crocodiles and their claws became as sharp as razors. The single vegetarian breeding method certainly helped them to be forced to domesticate in a short period of time, and also increased the risk of breeding - the desire for meat and blood, making them more barbaric and impulsive. In Wang Biao's words: "This is a group of pregnant girls who bring their own knife and fork, who are forced to eat vegetarian food but are fantasized about a human meat meal all day long."

Radiation has affected the entire world. If humans want to survive in the cruel nature, they must recreate a new food chain in its way, based on the technology left by their predecessors and their own exploration.

Tens of kilometers away from Yinyue Town, a rough-shaped "Hummer" off-road vehicle was parked quietly between rocks and weeds. The gray-green camouflage paint blends the body with the surrounding environment. At first glance, it is difficult to search out this hidden area with the naked eye.

Lin Xiang was wearing a short leather sleeveless jacket, and his wheat-colored skin shone with a faint light, outlining the muscle lines well. The square body had blocky steel ingots, which showed a slightly softened but strong sense of strength under the wrapping of the skin and the rude ground. Combined with the pure black eyes as water, he was filled with the unique charm of male masculinity and heroism.

He stood on a platform made of ammunition boxes at the back of the car, holding a tactical telescope in both hands, looking at the distant plain. It took him a long time to put down the telescope, bent down, and picked up the powerful sniper rifle from the passenger seat, pointing the cold and thick muzzle in the direction he had observed earlier.

It is already summer, and the climate is beginning to get hot. The scenery captured in the aiming camera has a rising heat wave. Just in the area covered by circular cross holes, five or six are more than two meters long, with a pair of curvy and bent heads growing on top of their heads, with nearly fifty centimeters of huge horns protruding outwards directly in front of them. Four-legged beasts, whose appearance resembles the old goats, are clustered in the shade of a huge rock, scrambling to eat the tender stems of several clusters of plants that grew from the cracks of the rock.

This is a bighorn sheep, a variant of the old sheep.

Strictly speaking, the livestock species sold by Sosbia are not really domesticated species. They do not completely remove their wildness, but are just a transitional type between wild and domestic. However, these livestock species are very expensive. Lin Xiang cannot invest too much money in this regard. Naturally, he thought of the idea of ​​directly capturing wild populations and domesticating them by himself.

The anesthesia warhead bought from Emma City accurately hit the hip of a bighorn sheep with obvious female characteristics. The sudden accident made this narrow animal population feel dangerously approaching. They fell to the ground regardless of their injuries, and their companions who were kicking back and forth in the air with four hooves. Before Lin Xiang could reload the second bullet, they suddenly burst out at a speed of more than 200 kilometers per hour, frantically escaping from the limit of distance that the scope could capture.
