From troll tribes to elf empires

Chapter 151 On the construction site and in the base (give me some monthly tickets)

Aisa was born in a medium-sized tribe in the east. Although his tribe only signed a second-category covenant with the Yabu, the treatment he received in the 'alliance' was not as good as the first-category tribes that almost became the Yabu's 'own'

good;

But even so, the living conditions of the tribe have really improved greatly in the years since the covenant was signed.

Although all the food they hunt must be handed over to the Yabu for safekeeping every time in exchange for some rice coins, and the amount of rice coins exchanged for these foods will be deducted by the Yabu in various names by more than half of the exchange amount.

.

But Aisa didn't understand the twists and turns here. He only knew that because Yabu had established a material exchange point near the tribe, he had far more sophisticated weapons than before.

And every time he goes hunting, he always gets more food. He hasn't felt hungry for a long time, and his life is quite comfortable.

During this recruitment of the Yabu, he was selected by the tribe's witch doctor and chief, and became one of the hundred trolls to support the "construction of the west";

Although the witch doctor looked sad when he sent them off, and kept emphasizing, "Don't mess with the teeth," etc., in fact, in his own heart, Isa was happy and looking forward to this trip.

As for why, it’s not because the Ya tribe has become the most powerful tribe in the Black Forest, and I heard that their warriors are also extremely powerful. As a traditional troll, Aisa has a strong curiosity about the Ya tribe.

I desperately want to know what this tribe is like.

The facts did not disappoint him. On the way from the tribe to the Yabu, there were too many things that puzzled him;

Whether it was the giant ship he rode along the way, or the fact that he thought it was the Tooth Department at first, but later found out that it was just a few footholds in one of their strongholds outside, it all made him dazzled and unbelievable.

‘Perhaps the structure present in the cells of the cave wolf is the culmination of this trend? The powerful energy output capability has replaced the self-sustaining instinct and has become the most important body function of higher organisms?’

Carrying a large wooden bucket to fetch water from the stream, and then under the guidance of the 'captain', pour a certain amount into the depression above the mound, and add the stones that had been previously ground into powder;

Then the captain would carefully take out a wooden bottle from his arms and pour it into the nearby mixing pile with great care;

Aisa’s next task is to stir, stir, stir with a shovel.

He found it quite boring, but as long as he could complete the workload specified by the captain within the specified time every day, he would be able to eat well;

He stored part of it in the icehouse, and brought the other part to the ice crystal room where he had grown it, preparing to observe it with a microscope.

Nesta has a certain idea, but to be honest, he is not very confident, so directly conducting "human experiments" is not an option;

'I'm sorry to those beasts.'

Therefore, this step must be carried out with the help of external objects such as a microscope.

In the ice crystal microscope room, an unusual cell appeared in front of him under the 'extreme' microscope. Its internal structure almost overturned Nesta's understanding of living things. Its cell composition can be said to be earth-shakingly different from other wolves.

Variety.

After arriving at what they called the 'headquarters', the huge city, the towering city walls, and the guy who seemed to be called a cavalryman whizzed past him once, all gave him more imagination.

Nesta was thinking about this idea in his mind. The first two of them may not make any progress in a short period of time because of the actual conditions.

But no matter what, the Burrow Wolf is there, and one day all the secrets will be unearthed. This is something he has no doubt about.

Because with the activation of this 'core', other surrounding units also became active as if they had been injected with fuel.

Also, the greatest troll in the Black Forest from ancient times to the present is called 'Niesta'. He is the pioneer who leads all the trolls to eat their bellies and embark on the road to civilization. He is the natural leader of all tribes;

How should I put it? Even the lord wolf actually has a fairly traditional internal structure of cells, including cell nuclei, energy conversion units, etc. There are only relative differences between it and other wind wolves, giant wind wolves, and even ordinary wolves.

gap.

In this class, Aisa finally climbed up to those big things that shocked him greatly, and understood that they were not magical beasts, but the tools made by the fangs were like the broken spears in his tribe.

Like a broken axe.

Nesta did not intend to conduct this research alone, but planned to cooperate with several witch doctors who were at the base at the moment, so he openly talked about his ideas.

He understood that he was here to do work. Although he didn't quite understand what he was going to do, it must be no different from what he was doing in the tribe, right?

The topic got a little sidetracked. When Isa saw these big guys that looked like Warcraft, but with two or three Tooth Trolls riding on them, they made a buzzing noise and broke several trees in a row at once.

;

After that, another big guy who looked similar but was a little different came up. In a few moments, he dug out the tree stumps and roots, which were quite difficult for his tribe to deal with, and filled them back with soil.

‘Even if that’s the case, where did its cell nucleus go? Didn’t this guy think about self-replication at all when his body was formed? Immortal species??’

He has 2 hours of free time every day and can do whatever he likes

Usually, Aisa would go to the ring to fight during this period, or find a pleasing female to mate with.

Aisa didn't understand what the "training" meant by the troll called "Apprentice", but from that day on, he began a life like a "nightmare".

And using perception to detect is not a mindless use of magic. There must be magic to act as a bridge to extend the observer's perception.

Aisa could understand a little more stories every day than the day before, and gradually began to admire this powerful troll, and also learned, or was forcibly taught, the two ways of writing 'Niesta', and 'Trolls of the World'

Two ways of writing "a family"

The apprentice who taught them said that 'Niesta' is a word that every troll must be able to understand and write;

And 'Trolls all over the world are one family' is a belief that every troll must keep in mind.

'And such an exaggerated energy conversion unit, what kind of energy does it usually convert? Is there an engine stuffed into the body of the cave wolf?'

After saying thank you, Nesta didn't waste any more time and immediately returned to the giant tree in the center with her things.

'No? Then what does it rely on to support its life activities? And it still has such strong vitality.'

‘It seems. It doesn’t look like a cell nucleus? Instead, it looks more like a large energy conversion unit?’

~~~~~~~~~~~

The branch bases are operating normally and orderly, and Nesta has once again devoted itself to research.

In this cell, the energy conversion unit has not only become the center of operation, but has even taken over the nucleus of the cell.

'Could it be that as the biological level increases and as the body's energy sources become more and more abundant, more corresponding tissues will be born to respond to this change?'

Although he didn't understand the word "efficiency", this speed shocked him more intuitively, and then he doubted his purpose here. What else could he do?

The answer came quickly. The troll in the fang department seemed to be a guy named "Captain", and he was given tools such as a large bucket, a giant hammer, a shovel, etc.;

Although this guy has a weird name, he is still quite good. He patiently helped Aisa get familiar with his future work.

There are still 30 light hours of working time, and he is still doing the same work as before. Although it is boring and far less interesting than hunting, fighting, and mating, the rewards are still something he looks forward to, so Aisa doesn't hate it.

What this 'local' said was too complicated, and Aisa didn't fully understand it, but he understood to some extent that this house seemed to be his from now on? Although he wasn't entirely sure.

In Aisa's eyes, it doesn't matter whether the house is exquisite or not, he only cares about whether it is big enough;

And this place was obviously much larger than his original tribe's residence. Even the place where the witch doctor and chief lived looked like a simple cave compared to this place.

Previously, he did obtain some tissue samples from the cave wolf by recycling injection needles;

However, since the injection head only barely squeezed into the superficial skin of the cave wolf, there was very little tissue left on it. Nesta had to perform complicated and repeated operations on multiple injection heads before barely obtaining some.

sample.

Nesta thought for a while and thought that this was something that could not be avoided, so he agreed and asked Jian Ya to make another hard trip to inform the Wolf King and his wife about the welcome attitude of the tribe.

Aisa was a person who listened to advice and followed the instructions obediently. Although her handwriting was like a dog crawling, it was considered a success no matter what.

In the 'training', he had to learn the damn 'new troll language' and memorize some inexplicable and weird symbols;

Then there were a few guys who would tell him some long-winded stories, which seemed to be called "history" and were talking about "the world's trolls are one family", but Aisa couldn't understand it at all.

However, he understood some things after taking a few classes. For example, "captain" and "apprentice" are not names, but represent identities like "chief" and "witch doctor";

‘Giant tree. Maybe you can try plant fruits?’

There were large tracts of land not covered by forests, and there were new 'cities' that were even bigger than his own tribe.

These things impacted Aisa's foolish mind again and again, making him realize once again that his tribe was a scumbag.

After having a meal at the headquarters and resting for a night on what was called a "bed", the guide took them to the river, then led them across the majestic bridge to the other side of the river.

After maintaining such a comfortable life for six or seven days, Aisa experienced an 'accident'.

Of course Isa would resist, as would any troll who was beaten, but he couldn't beat him.

Well, maybe the one who hit him was an old witch doctor, so he might hesitate to fight back. Although the old guy looked weak, he was generally quite respectable.

Nesta felt quite puzzled. He tried to inject magic into the cells to see if he would observe anything.

Indeed, a distinctive change caught his 'eyes'.

There is a huge nuclear structure in the center of the cell. Nesta originally subconsciously judged the identity of its nucleus based on its representation;

Such thoughts appeared in his mind, and became stronger and stronger as the observation continued.

Aisa is quite strong, so he can always find females who are willing to leave with him or take him away. Unfortunately, the beauties in the Tooth Department are not too willing to pay attention to him.

Whether on the construction site or in the city, you can encounter many females from other tribes;

Some females like to mate with the victorious male in the ring, while others will go to the ring on their own and mate with the male who has defeated them.

Except for the two happiest light hours above, there are six light hours of sleep in the rest of the time, sometimes during the day and sometimes at night;

Although the amount he received was very small, it greatly stimulated Aisa's taste buds and made him devote himself to his work more enthusiastically.

He finds stones, breaks them, and grinds them into powder;

Dig the ground deeply and separate dirt, pebbles and other debris;

On the way to the final destination, a steady stream of wolves brought all kinds of food, which made Aisa even more puzzled. He couldn't understand how the Yabu managed to get these cunning guys to help hunt.

'I have an idea that I might need your help with.'

And if you can accomplish more, you can also eat delicious food that you have never tasted before, such as barbecue, cheese, and milk.

Aisa is quite capable and can complete additional tasks almost every day and receive a delicious food.

But the next 10 hours of ‘training’ was a nightmare.

After all this was completed, 3 months had passed, and the belly of the pregnant animal had grown several circles. It was obvious that the development of the fetus had reached a certain stage.

'Where is the genetic information of the cave wolf? Where did the energy that was converted come from? What kind of things can the tribe do by using this attribute of it?'

The reason why these two ‘experimental products’ were chosen is because the fetus and egg are relatively smaller and may be easier to handle when the time comes to ‘fruit’.

Currently, this kind of bridge can only be used by 'acoustic detection technology', but its observation level cannot be accurate to 'cells'.

Nesta repeatedly observed the inside of the cell, but could not find a replacement nuclear structure;

He felt quite happy about this and moved in happily.

After hearing this, the apprentice took the order and left. Not long after, he came back with the cow and the eggs, and handed him the 'object' requested by Nesta.

It's not that he cares much about tribal resources, but every time he damages them, the chief will let him starve for a day, and sometimes beat him severely.

Logging? He has done it in the tribe, but it is obviously not what it should be.

Before the Yabu's material exchange station was established, logging was a very unpleasant job. It could be said to be troublesome and boring. He had to use those broken bone and stone tools to hollow out the tree trunks bit by bit, and his body was huge.

I couldn't use my strength at all, for fear of accidentally breaking the precious tool.

The trolls first worked together to change part of the structure of the giant tree, mainly to let it regain part of the ability to bear fruits.

The 'local' who was responsible for guiding him pointed at the house and said to him,

"You live in the big house, and when the work is completed, it will truly belong to you."

The rough-toothed witch doctor was a little surprised when he saw him go and come back, and slowly expressed his doubts.

During this period, except for him and Sharp Fang, the other witch doctors would always leave temporarily due to one or other things. They were mainly busy with various matters related to track construction, which slowed down the transformation of the giant tree to a considerable extent.

None of the above is anything, either interesting or boring, but Isa thinks it's generally pretty good.

"I understand. But there are too few witch doctors. It's very difficult."

Since there are so few witch doctors involved, this work is expected to last a long time.

But Nesta didn't worry too much about time, and just focused on the affairs at hand.

Packing up his cheap sympathy, he left the temporary house and found a nearby apprentice, asking him to help find a large pregnant animal and a bird egg.

In addition to these teachings in the classroom, there is also a part of the training that is conducted outdoors, that is, 'engineering vehicle driving'.

Gather the soil individually and then pile it into several concave mountain-like shapes;

The episode brought about by the fangs has not changed anything. The construction of the external track is still going on vigorously and has achieved good results.

Nesta thought of his previous experience. During the energy level transition, the energy conversion units of the cells in the body seemed to show an extremely obvious upward trend in general;

The research was launched again, and in addition to Coarse Fang and Nesta, there were also Azshara, Tuya, and Gonzalo who were also here, a total of five witch doctors.

In addition, the fang witch doctor finally returned, bringing with him a request for a 'visit' from the wolf kings.

A guy who looked about as smart as a tribal witch doctor found his team and said he wanted to 'train' them.

All the other structures are serving it, and I have never seen such a weird scene like the one in the body of the cave wolf.

The Cave Wolf organization is different. The Cave Wolf is born naturally and has almost nothing to do with Nesta's magic. Naturally, there is no 'backdoor' left.

For example, long-term muscles, which used to occupy most of the basic units of muscle structure, have far fewer energy conversion units than stress muscles, whose proportion continues to increase today;

But no matter what, 'self-perpetuation' is the underlying logic of living organisms. At least among all the biological tissues he has seen so far, the nucleus is the undisputed core;

But the Burrow Wolf seems to be completely different, especially in terms of energy conversion units. Unlike other creatures, which are many and small, this part of its cells seems to be completely non-existent.

But now, the 'nucleus' that he had previously thought of was, with the support of more and more magic power, showing its unusual features. It seemed to be a breathing organ, expanding and shrinking slightly.

Aisa adapted quickly, and followed the trolls who didn't know anyone around him, and started tasks in the areas they were assigned to.

This was what he thought at first, but when he saw the big guy, Aisa was confused for the first time about what he needed to do here.

And almost all units are like accessories of this huge energy conversion core. At least from superficial observation, they seem to be carrying out activities around it.

After arriving at the cave base, a tall and weird troll said something unintelligible in front of them;

Although Aisa only understood half of the sentence "There is plenty of food", she clapped her hands like the Tooth Troll, and was then led to a particularly exquisite large house with an independent courtyard.

.

"Just do your best. It doesn't need too much. Just modify a few fruits and see how it goes."

Nesta's mind suddenly came to life. The process of raising his energy level in the first place was not just through a part of the body's surface tissue continuously absorbing light energy, thereby allowing nearby uncontrolled tissue cells to be affected by the rich energy environment in the body.

Next, can the energy conversion structure be passively proliferated and then the life level be improved?

In this case, can we use the energy of the cave wolves to objectively create this kind of 'energy-rich' external environment, and then use it to improve the energy levels of tribe members?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was a feasible idea.

The question now is how to ‘extract’ this energy.

Therefore, his main consideration now is the last point.

'Energy. If the Burrow Wolf can indeed use unknown methods to convert a steady stream of energy, if we can find a way to make this energy available to us.'

Sub-base No. 1, Sub-base No. 2 all the way to the final cave base, these seem to be the newly established strongholds of the Yabu.

Observing the Cave Wolf organization is not as convenient as when the magic power flowed into the giant tree and was directly perceived with mental power;

The reasons are as follows:

Nesta's personal participation in the formation of the giant tree can be understood as "leaving a back door", so he can directly use fool-like "magic penetration" to perceive it as if he were observing his own body.

At the underground cave sub-base, the roadbed has been laid for nearly two hundred kilometers, and the track has never slowed down and has always been closely following the roadbed;

Since the construction of the No. 2 sub-base is going east and west at the same time, the progress of the project in one direction is only half of that here, but it is still about 100 kilometers;

Moreover, these cells have been separated from the body for a long time, but they have never shown signs of malaise or exhaustion. Although their life activities are incomplete, their internal operations are always maintained.

The progress of the other sub-bases is generally very different from that of No. 2.

Calculated based on a length of 450 kilometers, there is only about 150 kilometers left between the Catacomb Base and Base No. 3. Judging from the increasingly faster progress of the project, it may take about 2 months.

, both sides can be truly connected.

In addition, the 'injection head' that was separated from the surface of the cave wolf a few months ago also showed its 'attitude' under Nesta's observation.

After comparing it with the rest of the parts that had not changed, Nesta finally determined one thing - not only did this giant tree lock the cave wolf, but it even began to plunder part of its energy and use it as its own

Nutrition, that's the main reason it grows so fast.
