I was pulling trees in Daming, and Lao Zhu begged me to come out of retirement

Chapter 42 The Ecosystem of Taoyuan Township
Fengyang County, Donglushan.

A group of tenants were walking and talking happily outside a lush pine forest.

Soon, the group came to an incredibly flat stone wall.

"Open Sesame~!"

A tenant shouted,
A one-meter-square stone sank into the upper and lower parts of the stone wall without any gaps.

The stones formed a two-meter-high cave entrance, with a faint light flickering in the cave.

The tenants showed no surprise at all when they saw this scene which clearly surpassed the technological level of the Yuan Dynasty. Instead, they all filed in as if it was a common practice.

Don’t ask, if you ask, it’s magic, if you ask, it’s science.

As for why magic and science are mixed together,
Because the tenants all thought it was magic,
But the gods insisted that it was science and asked their children to study hard to understand the principles...

……

Behind the stone wall is a long tunnel.

There are torches on the walls of both sides of the tunnel that never go out.
Below the tunnel is a row of tunnels extending to an unknown place.

Rows of mine cars had already lined up beside the tunnel. A tenant farmer wearing a red vest and holding a small yellow flag shouted to the newcomers:

"Everyone line up! Don't cut in line! If you run around, your work points will be deducted! Be civilized, set a new trend, and start with you and me!"

A strong man among the tenants couldn't help but laugh and curse:
"Wu Liuyi, hurry up and don't delay us from work. If you deduct your work points, we will never forgive you!"

Wu Liuyi glared at the man and cursed:
"Mr. Tang, don't be so complacent. I am the stationmaster appointed by Chongba himself! If you don't obey my orders, I have the right to prevent you from getting on the train!"

A group of people laughed:
"Tsk, Brother Tang is the uncle of the militia captain. Be careful and they'll catch you and put you in solitary confinement."

Wu Liuyi's face turned blue and red, he snorted coldly and said no more.

No one intended to provoke this petty guy.
Everyone obediently opened the specially made mine cart and sat on it.

“Let’s get going!”

Wu Liuyi shouted,
He pulled the lever underneath him.

As the dark red redstone track on the rails lit up, the miner on the minecart pushed it skillfully.

The connected mine carts drove quickly into the depths of the tunnel.

The mine cart sped along the way and soon came to a bend.
A tenant farmer, also wearing a red vest and holding a small yellow flag, pressed the button on a phonograph nearby.

"We have arrived at the final stop, the Mine Station. Passengers transferring to the Ranch Station, please take your seats as soon as possible. There are still three stops from here to the Farm Station. Please transfer as soon as possible."

With a loud noise, the tenants got on and off the mine cars one after another.
A third of the tenants headed toward a portal outside the tunnel.

open the door,
Outside the door is a huge mine, where nearly a hundred miners are digging non-stop.

One of the boys, about thirteen or fourteen years old, was sitting upright at a table, using a pencil to help the miners with their work.

The young man saw Tang He and grinned and greeted him:

"Uncle Tang, are you here to take over?"

The burly man in the lead laughed:
"It's time, these cowards, why don't you get off work quickly?"

The boy showed an understanding smile on his face:

"Who doesn't want to earn more work points?"

With the food problem solved, Tianyu began to try to establish an ecosystem at the Donglushan base.

It is not impossible to rely solely on feeding yourself.

But just like raising fish, it is better to raise a tank of fish than to create a tank of scenery directly.

If the various fish in the bathtub can form a healthy ecosystem, these small fish can survive well even if they do not need to be fed every day.

Tianyu is currently trying to build a self-sufficient ecosystem.
Because he is just an ordinary college student, not a financial or political tycoon who can build a powerful empire immediately with a flash of inspiration.

His biggest asset now is his large amount of capital.

The huge output of grain and materials is enough for him to conduct various ecological experiments without worrying about bankruptcy.

In Tianyu's opinion, this ecosystem will be successfully established when this group of farmers no longer need to replenish their own supplies and can be self-sufficient.

At this time, the boy in charge of registration shook the big clock beside him.

The sound of the bells spread throughout the mine.

A group of dusty tenants came out of the mine in mine carts, cursing.

Everyone had an expression of reluctance on their face.

"Alas, it's only been 8 hours. Why can't the gods let us work a little longer?"

"That is to say, I feel like I can work for another 8 hours without feeling tired, and I can still break at least 4 more pickaxes!"

"Come on, stop bragging. I see your legs are a little weak now, you wimp, haha~"

"Er Gouzi, I think you're itching for a fight, right? If you don't agree, let's go practice with each other."

"Who is afraid of who? Don't be afraid of the militia training later!"

"Okay then, whoever loses gets a pickaxe!"

"Damn, are you guys playing such a big game?"

Uncle Tang also laughed and scolded this group of idiots impatiently:

"You guys are not willing to take a rest when I tell you to. This is the mercy of the God of Land. Get out of here right now and don't delay us from working!"

Everyone laughed, but without getting anxious, they all counted the ore they had dug today and handed it to the young man to keep records.

During this time, Tianyu successfully used iron ingots and boxes to synthesize a funnel. He found that as long as he placed the funnel on the box,
No matter who pours the crushed ore into the funnel, they can naturally synthesize the corresponding ore blocks.

So he combined boxes, minecarts and hoppers and successfully created the Ultimate Palu Minecart.

With this mine cart, Tianyu no longer needs to collect the ore himself every day.
All the miners need to do is to carry a hopper minecart with them to collect the ore into boxes to form corresponding building blocks.

The miners can calculate their work points by recording these blocks. The emergence of the Palu minecart has greatly increased the miners' work efficiency (the frequency of rest is almost 0).

Therefore, Tianyu changed the working hours to 8 hours, and asked them to go to school for literacy and do some ideological construction during the rest of the time.

After a month of brainwashing, the effect is still very obvious.

In Taoyuan Township today, tenants are used to using work points as currency for transactions.

Tianyu also began to charge for various tools.

For example, if the durability of a wooden pickaxe is 30, it can dig 30 cubic meters of stone. If a wooden pickaxe is broken, you can get at least 10 work points, but it only takes 1 work point to exchange for a new wooden pickaxe.

The durability of a stone pickaxe is 66, and it can dig 66 cubic meters of stone. If one is broken, you can get a minimum of 20 work points. It takes 5 work points to exchange for a stone pickaxe.

The durability of an iron pickaxe is 126, which guarantees a minimum of 50 work points, so 10 work points are required to exchange for an iron pickaxe.

As for why it is a guaranteed minimum, it is because Tianyu will give them some extra bonus work points for digging out special ores. At this time, the tenants seem to be playing gold miners and are working very hard.

Good tools have different mining efficiency and delivery rates, so the work points consumed are also different.

Now, after a month of adaptation, the miners have begun to get used to this self-sufficient circular economy model.

Just as the miners were getting off work and preparing to go to the 'Temptation of Home' bar for a drink.

suddenly,

With a bang,
A huge roar sounded from a distance.
