Will Beast Ear Girl Encounter Alien Ranch Story?

The comrades who were knocked down in succession but never got up again made the leader behind the command realize that the idea was difficult. With a whistle, the attackers fled without any reluctance to fight, and threw a lot of equipment like smoke bombs Disappears between woodlands after disturbance.

"Are you okay?" The crossbowman helped Yelena lift her body aside. There was blood red blood on the white winter clothes. The deer bullets at very close range almost exploded the entire chest on the opposite side, and she looked bloody. Let the crossbowman involuntarily frowned, and then cast his eyes on the "gun weapon" in Yelena's hand

"Etching bomb?"

"Hmm." Yelena didn't know if the weapon in her hand was an etching bomb, but judging from the fine structure, it should be the legendary etching bomb.

"You're really a rich lady?" Crossbowman muttered, not noticing that Yelena's rabbit ears moved slightly, and her expression became a little weird: "A rich lady?" She shook her head, no longer entangled this matter.

"It's a bit different, these guys are not simple hunters!" Ivan pulled off the mask of an attacker who was killed by Xia Lin, revealing an ordinary Ursus face, with some fine pieces on his neck. Crystal, "This is an infected person. I never knew that the infected person also started to become a hunter."

"It's nothing surprising. There are traitors who betrayed their own camp and position. There are traitors in every era and class, and the infected are no exception." Xia Lin changed the rifle for a new magazine in her hand, "Will they come back again?" ?”

"It's hard to say. If they are normal hunters, they probably won't. They are outlaws seeking money, not extreme lovers who like to die." Ivan looked at the weapon in Xia Lin's hand, "Where did you get this gun? It's quite powerful."

"Why, the power of the stuff here is very low?" Xia Lin asked calmly, "This is a military product, so it's not easy to handle."

"At least the lethality I've seen is mediocre, maybe they really didn't get any good stuff, those Sakotas are very strict." Of course, Ivan was not stupid enough to ask the other party where he got it from. The issue of controlled products that will cause the two sides to directly tear each other apart.

"Oh, how low is it, compared with my original version?"

"Like this kind of protective clothing, at least it takes a long time to shoot to break it, tsk, it's really broken, it seems that the difference between the real product and the fake one is really big." Ivan pushed aside the clothes of the corpse, revealing the The shattered protective plate and the bloody hole behind it, I put my fingers in and stirred it, and felt that the internal organs inside were completely shattered into slag.

He didn't know if the armor on his body and the standard large shield of the Ursus Shield Guards could block it, but even if he could block his hand, it wouldn't last long.

"You two have to be extra careful now. If these people are infected, I'm afraid they won't give up so easily. Infected people can't live in groups in this land, and they have to use this kind of revenge to stop suffered greater persecution”

"I still have a lot of ammunition here." Xia Lin clapped the rifle in his hand. He is not afraid of fighting, and killing at night is different from daytime. It will shake hands with fright, especially for long-term law-abiding citizens, and the psychological damage of the second and third times is much lower.

"It seems that we can't stay here anymore, Yelena, help dismantle the machine, we're going back." The ore storage box on the side of the mining machine was lifted onto the car with Ivan's help, and all the four ore storage boxes were moved up. Afterwards, the body sank a bit, almost visible to the naked eye.

"If you don't mind, I can show you a part of the way. Anyway, the two of you have almost figured out the surroundings of the farm, but it's not necessary to go in and entertain." Xia Lin said while holding the car window. After fighting side by side just now, There is a bit of comrade-in-arms between the two sides.

"That's okay." Ivan nodded. If he can take a car, of course no one will walk back in the middle of the night, and he may be attacked by those infected hunters, and he is also in a hurry to go back and report this to his father. It is not a good sign that some infected people are acting as hunters or similar to hunters.

As an infected person, he knows what these people are thinking. They are either trying to turn normal people into new infected people, or they are targeting ordinary civilians. Hunters hunt infected people, and these Infested hunters hunt civilians.

This will only make the civilians hate and reject the infected more, and it is not a good thing for the shield guards. It will be difficult for them to get support and supplies, and even those civilians will not hesitate to report any infected person in their field of vision. Not to mention that there will be no villages and towns willing to provide supplies and accommodation for the infected.

Those Ursus hounds don't mind hanging everyone who sympathizes with the infected person, and they don't mind hanging everyone suspected of being an infected person by the side of the road. This kind of drama has been staged countless times in the wasteland.

Due to the extremely heavy minerals being pulled, the tractor jumped and galloped all the way back to the gate of the farm almost at the exhaustion of its voice. He vomited, only spit out some undigested grass roots and unidentified black residue.

"Here~" Yelena's eyes flickered slightly, and she handed over a bottle of purified water. Ivan took it and drank half of it in one gulp, and then threw it to his companion, "Thank you, this water is really good." Purified it.

"Here, eat something, it's not a good night!" Yelena threw a small bag over, which contained baked potato cakes, which were baked with mashed potatoes mixed with salt and a small amount of monosodium glutamate. Sweet and salty smell.

"Thank you, if I have the chance, I will repay you." In such a deserted time on the snowy field, such exquisite food would not be cheap. Ivan broke half of it and gave it to the crossbowman. The two quickly finished the food in silence. Hash browns.

Xia Lin drove the car into the workshop and asked Yelena to stand guard at the entrance of the workshop with a gun in her hand. However, Ivan and Ivan did not do anything unusual. They were planning to leave immediately and go back, but Xia Lin asked them to wait for a while.

Pour four boxes of ore into the automatic smelting control module. After the furnace started to work normally, Xia Lin went to the warehouse to take out a bag of potatoes and a little cabbage and put them in a polymer box.

"This is..." "There will be more crops in our farm in a few months, but although I welcome friends here to make deals, after all, the crops grown can only be eaten by yourself." It can be sold, but if there is any careful thought, my gun does not recognize people."

"Oh, what are you going to trade?" Ivan's eyes lit up. The most lacking thing for the guerrillas is food. They can only rely on hunting, gathering, and buying a little food at a very high price from some slightly friendly villages. Speaking of feeding the infected women and children who accompanied him, it was a bit difficult even to support himself, and he almost relied entirely on his father's personal charm to maintain order.

If you can find a place where you can trade a large amount of at least a certain amount of food, everyone's life will be much easier.

"Let me tell you first, I won't accept coins for the time being. Other than that, ores, wild herbs, and animal fur are fine. Scrap metal is fine if you can't. Oh, and I don't want Originium mines either."

"No problem, what do you have here to trade"

"There is nothing now. In another month, I can provide some eggs and chicken. If you have pregnant women or the wounded, you should need these things very much."

"... That's right." Ivan nodded with a sad expression. Many wounded died because of lack of nutrition. The old man sighed all day long but there was nothing he could do. He could only become more silent. The image of the iron man of emotion supports everyone's hearts.

"In about three months, I can provide some food. After half a year, I can provide fish and some simple medicines. But if you want dairy products and fruits, you have to wait a year or two."

"We don't dare to think about that thing." Eating fruit in the snowy plain, what kind of person did this? Anyway, Ivan has never eaten fruit since he was a soldier to a captain.

"If you really have no place to go, you can also come and work for me. I am short of manpower here, digging the ground, chopping wood, and may need plowing and mowing in the future." Of course, it will not be put into the farm to do it. To live, but to reclaim the land outside, Xia Lin only provided seeds and tools, "Of course, not now, I still can't support so many people."

"That's a deal, I hope you're not a liar"

"I also hope that you are not a bunch of robbers"

"Hahaha!" Both Ivan and Xia Lin were stunned for a moment, and then laughed loudly, "Then, let's leave first."

Chapter 18 Trading and Partisans

One morning, "I'm so stupid, I'm really stupid, I only knew that mechanized agriculture needs tractors, but I never thought that I could use animal power before mechanization, I'm so stupid~" Xia Lin looked at the seeds The interface of the embryo bank muttered to himself, with dull eyes and a blank expression.

It is clearly written on the interface: "Improved heavy-duty draft horse Shire breed". That's right, compared to people carrying ore on their backs and hand rubbing engines, there is actually another option to use artificial wombs to first breed a batch of Shires. Come out.

In addition to this heavy-duty draft horse, there are also various horse embryos for grazing and riding. Although the real Star Alliance ranchers prefer to drive around in heavy vehicles weighing more than 70 tons, it does not mean that those tourists I also like these boring things.

For the development of the colony's tourism and some special agricultural and animal husbandry industries, the "farmhouse" of the Star Alliance provides such items as riding a horse like a western cowboy in the wilderness, and driving a fuel-powered off-road vehicle to run a rally.

Therefore, there are even purebred racehorse embryos here in Xia Lin, the kind with the label of the Earth Gold Medal Stud Farm. The lineage can be traced back to 20 generations ago. There are top-quality thoroughbred horses, and there are even breeds that were used as war horses in ancient times.

In addition to horses, there are also cows. If these two animals use the artificial uterus to quickly mature, they can basically do some work in as little as 6 months, and when they are about one year old, their physical fitness is similar to that of non-modified natural horses when they are two to three years old. , can basically do most of the work.

"Well, it's not too late to start now." The two knives, who didn't have a livestock breeder certificate, started to operate the frozen embryo bank, removing the embryos of two Sharmas, one male and one female, and four Qinling cattle embryos, like hanging on the wall. The pocket-like artificial uterus on the breast is slowly filled with cloudy synthetic amniotic fluid and the embryos are injected.

Since it is only a two-knife, any redundant settings and parameters are not dared to be touched, which means that the six animal embryos will only develop in the default mode, and a series of ripening, hormone adjustment and other operations in the middle are all default Setting, if there is a deformity or other accidental events, it means that the embryo is scrapped, so it shouldn't be so unlucky.

After all, this kind of situation is due to the large-scale breeding farms where thousands of embryos develop synchronously, which requires careful adjustment and monitoring by certified professionals. to this low-probability event.

Counting the development time, it takes about 3 months to switch from the artificial womb mode to the in vitro development mode, and then a total of 7 months later, the first batch of foals and calves can enter the livestock shed.

If he hadn't thought of processing the somatic cells of the giant deer into embryos when he came back, he wouldn't have thought for a while that he could breed the cows and horses first, maybe they would finish farming before his heavy tractors.

The electronic melting furnace ran all night and successfully produced the first batch of alloy materials. According to Xia Lin's request, the architect's production line was transformed into alloy armor plates and metal reinforcement brackets. The next step was to strengthen the greenhouse and workshop.

Both the workshop and the outer shell of the greenhouse have reserved slots for installation. Xia Lin used the portable welding gun in his hand to weld the alloy plates one by one on the outer wall with scaffolding. a skilled worker.

One of the daily housework of Xia Lin, who grew up in a colony in the outer ring area, is to help his father weld various things. His father runs a private ship repair workshop, the kind of workshop for household shuttle machines. .

On the Meridian space station, there is a cabin with an indoor area of ​​more than 300 square meters as a shop and workshop. Let alone a cricket alloy plate, he knows how to weld it even if it is a jump engine—of course, only It is limited to welding, and it cannot be repaired, installed or installed, and even dismantled. It can only rely on the work of a first-hand welder to earn some pocket money.

"Zizi" high-voltage arc welding torch moved quickly and steadily along the edge, the weld seam was fine and tight, "give me a new one" Xia Lin, who was wearing a seat belt, moved a little to the side and waved to Yelena below.The girl agreed, and quickly pulled the rope to let the pulley block hoist a large new alloy plate up, and then Xia Lin fixed it, and began to continue the welding work.

By the afternoon of the third day, the workshop and the greenhouse were protected by layers of bright silver armor plates. Yelena and Xia Lin each carried a large jar of protective gel that was still warm, climbed onto the scaffolding, and started spraying it with a spray gun. Exterior protective painting.

After solidification, these gels will form a layer of anti-oxidation and anti-radiation protective coating on the outside of the metal armor, and also help heat preservation, preventing rapid temperature changes from embrittlement of the metal. You must know that these are not serious interstellar alloys The material - the heavy island element Xia Lin is hopeless - so its strength is limited and it needs to be protected as much as possible.

"Huh~huh~" Yelena wore a white turban on her head, an apron around her chest, a spray gun in one hand and a scraper in the other. She was humming a cheerful little song while she was working on the scaffolding.

She just listened to her mother humming it a few times, and she didn't know what it was. She just felt it when she was enjoying the comfortable wind and doing work in the high place on this cool day.

"Hey, you guys, are you painting a wall?" Ivan stood beside a trolley, waving at the two people in the farm, "Do you want me to help?"

"No, I'm afraid you messed up and I have to go back to work." Xia Lin slid down the bright yellow ladder, but Yelena didn't move, she was still brushing the gel seriously.

"What are you bringing with you""

Scrap iron, this is the only thing in the wasteland, what do you want it for? "Ivan pointed to the scrap iron in the car and said, "As a thank you last time, we collected some for you. If it is not enough, we will bring you some next time. "

"I used it to melt it for tools and fences. The new greenhouse also needs a lot of metal"

"That's fine, I'll bring you some more next time. These things are everywhere in the wasteland. They are all the garbage left by the city from the last war and I don't know how long ago."

Of course, there is no such thing as valuable parts that can be used to repair weapons and equipment. Xia Lin looked at it, and found that there were some large pieces of broken gears, small pieces of metal fragments, rusty broken frames, and some Apparently twisted metal objects that could be trash.

"Then I'll take it. Well, in about a month, my second batch of potatoes will be ripe. At that time, I can share it with you. The price is good. You can send a car of scrap metal to me. If you have two carts of potatoes and ore, how about a cart of ore and half a cart of potatoes?"

"Okay!" Ivan agreed, a cart of potatoes can feed everyone for at least a few days, and if it is saved and mixed with wild vegetables and soil, it can last for at least a month. To be honest, the farm actually has a greenhouse It's just so gratifying.

It's rare for an unsmiling guy like Dad to be a little more relaxed than usual. A farm with a greenhouse that is willing to trade with infected people is simply a lifeline on the snowy field.

After repaying the incident of those infected attacking the troops, Dad also said that he must strengthen the inspection of the surroundings, so as not to let such a rare stronghold that sympathizes with or at least does not dislike the infected become a hardcore enemy of the infected.

"By the way, I suddenly remembered something. I have a lot of fabrics and fillings here, but my textile equipment...you know, so if you have needs, I can also provide these products .”

"How many!?" Ivan asked hastily. Qualified cold-proof fabrics and fillings are the life insurance on the snowfield next to food. One more fabric means one more set of cold-proof winter clothes, and one more person will not be exposed to the severe cold. Take away lives, not to mention that if there is a cold-proof tent, those people in the team can not hug each other every night, warm each other with body temperature to avoid freezing to death at night.

"Well, there are a lot." Decomposition pools can use trees and various harvested plants to make carbon nanofiber fabrics. As for fillers, flocculent gels synthesized after the decomposition of various biomass can also be used. However, compared to raw materials The abundance of automatic tailoring equipment can not process a set of clothes so quickly.

Of course, this refers to complex clothing such as winter clothing with padding. If it is just ordinary single-layer fabric underwear, the nano spray gun can print a set of clothes that fit and fit you in a few minutes. .

"It's so much that unless you have tens of thousands of people in need, I can provide it, but what are you going to use in exchange?"

"what do you want?"

"These" Xia Lin handed out a thick stack of paper, which recorded the characteristics of the various minerals he needed and the corresponding exchange quantities, "Ore"

"Why do you need so much ore and these messy things?"

"Fertilizers and pesticides, such as herbicides," Xia Lin said. A large part of them are indeed fertilizers and pesticides. However, fertilizers and pesticides that people on earth know often have other interesting functions—for example, Organophosphorus pesticides and certain nitrogen fertilizers (ammonium nitrate), among others.

And once these raw materials are available, Xia Lin can start planting cotton. When the previous pyrite was processed and reduced, he got a batch of analytically pure concentrated sulfuric acid, plus the galena and copper ore he found before, he now You can already do that old-fashioned lead-acid battery.

After finishing the reinforcement of the workshop and building the new third greenhouse for growing spices and condiments, he began to manufacture large lead-acid battery packs to store the excess power of the reactor for emergency use, and Some equipment is used far away from the workshop.

Although there is still a large roll of superconducting cables on hand, it is not cost-effective to use this kind of thing that can carry megawatt-level power transmission on these low-level products, so lead-acid batteries plus rubber-coated copper wires are the best solution. The best choice right now.

Once the cotton, sulfuric acid, and nitric acid are ready, then Xia Lin can mass-produce a large amount of propellant and increase the number of machine gun towers around the workshop from five to 25, which is enough to form an extremely dense barrage. Creatures that hit the farm will be punished by iron and fire.

As for the more powerful explosives, we have to wait for a stable source of oil, and then we can enter the progress of blasting and digging mountains. He plans to open up the upstream water source into a small reservoir, and then use the drop to install a set of small Hydroelectric equipment.

And in this way, fish can also be raised in the reservoir, all you need is to set up a blocking net downstream of the exit of the workshop, and you can fish in your own farm for fun and live the life of a retired old man in advance.

"That's it, then I'll try my best to find a way." Fertilizers and pesticides are indeed very important. Ivan scratched his head. As for whether these things are equipped with fertilizers, he has to go back and ask. There are still many infections in the team. Those who used to be farmers.

Xia Lin is not afraid of him going back to ask, because this is indeed the material needed for fertilizer, but there are more materials that are not purely fertilizer, such as saltpeter, phosphate rock and so on.

There are also products such as kaolin and kaolinite mixed in it, which are used to decompose to obtain aluminum and rare earths, which is why Xia Lin is planning to build a small hydropower station - electrolytic aluminum is an energy-intensive industry, there is no aluminum If it is, more than 2/3 of the recipes in the furnace will be nonsense.

If there is aluminum, aluminum foam and graphene boards can build a larger uncontrolled greenhouse, which relies entirely on materials for insulation, without heating and isolation systems inside, and is used to grow potatoes and vegetables removed from the greenhouse. The two crops are not qualified to occupy that professional greenhouse for a long time.

Noble cash crops, at least noble sugar crops should be in it.

That’s right, it means grapes, beets and sugar cane. On the cold snowfield, sugar is a good thing. It is a life-saving medicine and a holy thing to soothe the soul. Even the maltose made of starch is known by Yelena’s expression That's quite a precious thing.

Raisins, wine, rum, various candies, and beet leaves are all good foods. Xia Lin never dreamed that Tang Nima would become what she dreamed of when she was in the Star Alliance. Large dissociation equipment can easily Separate pure monosaccharides and disaccharides from various biomass waste liquids, and then synthesize them into various sugar products.

Glucose solution and culture fluid for medical use, down to all kinds of candies, snacks, and snacks are all necessary raw materials. Unfortunately, here...Xia Lin wants to eat sugar unless he takes extravagant starch that is not much. In addition to making maltose reserves, you can only drink glucose for medical use.

As a sample, Ivan returned with some fabrics and padding, and Xia Rin once again returned to the arduous and joyless work of painting the wall, which continued until the crossbowman belt that Ivan carried before. Come with a wheelbarrow of ore samples.

This is a relatively taciturn man who left without a word after completing the transaction, carrying a few bundles of fabric and packed stuffing as trade items.

In a sheltered small valley about 70 kilometers away from the farm, the Patriot troops and the infected who voluntarily followed him have established a temporary camp, which is nothing more than a pile of rags and tents. There are broken wooden boxes in all directions, and the biggest property is estimated to be the two trucks powered by Originium engines.
