Out of the cage

On the 145th day after Wei Keng arrived in the world of Pandora, with most of his group returning down the Pearl River, the second stage of the conflict on this plane ended.

When the four hundred Wei Keng returned from the pier, they felt that they could finally return to the human fireworks they built.

Now, on this small pier, 50% of Wei Keng is wet all over, because when he came back, Wei Keng group did a whole job, using the animal skins peeled off in this battle to inflate the raft to make it bigger buoyancy, so that the rusty and uncorroded stainless steel parts that may be in an abandoned parking lot can be transported back.

But along the way, the big fish in the lake always rushed over to take two bites regardless of Wei Keng's bamboo fork. As a result, the airbags of these kayaks on which Wei Keng placed high hopes were all broken. The material rafts were half submerged in the water, and some were even completely submerged in the water, so when they arrived at the port, Wei Keng went directly into the water to fish them out.

The water vehicle plan of the raft is completely bankrupt. In fact, all organic materials are not suitable for shipbuilding in the present age, and if it weren’t for Wei Keng’s life radiation this time, these wood and rafts might be killed by small fish and shrimps as soon as they hit the water. And algal organisms swarmed and decomposed. So it has to be made of steel.

A large pot was set up on the pier, and those big fish had been "bowed" all the time, and they were still alive after they were taken off the pole, but waiting for them to be disemboweled, they were beaten into fish by the chisel and slipped down the pot !

"Bow fish" is to put a line from the fish's nostrils through the upper jaw of its head, and tie the other end of the rope to its tail (near the anus), so that its whole state looks like a curved bow. This is a folk custom in Fujian. The intangible cultural heritage is beneficial to let the cheeks receive oxygen, and can survive for 20 to 30 hours in the water! This is a skill that Chinese fishmongers knew in the era when there were no oxygen machines. As for Wei Keng, he found this information from the system and tried it. The effect of keeping alive is very good, and all the big fish that gnawed on his kayak were handled in this way.

The minced fish meat is mixed with the starch extracted from the flour tree species, and made into fish balls, and the eggs are taken out from the soda ash soil on the other side, and the eggshells are peeled off. The black eggs are cut into small pieces and mixed together. The fish balls were sent to the pot. The onion, ginger, and garlic are also mixed in a small cloth bag and cooked together. After the fire is boiled, the bowls are taken out. The Wei Keng who returned from the battle began to sip a big bowl.

'Eating preserved egg and fish ball porridge, the emperor is not as good as me~I~' Wei Keng, who was sitting in a small corner, indulged himself in a "wretched" tone.

War is about tightening the belt, because all the energy of the entire group is spent on how to safely deal with external issues. As for many internal things, we can only keep things simple. The cauldron, from cutting the meat to preparing various seasonings, everything is as busy as the New Year. This was impossible in the previous war. In the frontier battlefield, Wei Keng only used "strength" and salt Barbecue to deal with.

Now, there will be more free time in this way, and if the war can be fought well, then the construction will naturally be done well! It's all group collaboration.

...

November 3, 132, the era of Pandora.

At this time of year, frost has begun to appear in the Yellow River Basin in the north, and it is also chilly in some high-altitude areas in the south, but the climate in the Jiaojiao region of the Pearl River is still pleasant. Oh, in the era of Pandora, only Wei Keng could be pleasant.

Zeng Jiakan, a businessman and envoy from Ji'an City, looked out the window at the era that had changed drastically.

The farmland is reclaimed piece by piece, except for the grass, the land blocks are arranged in stacked blocks.

In the squares of different sizes, they are arranged like soldiers, and the plants with a height of two meters spread their lush leaves in the wilderness. Large and small pollinating insects are dotted on the small flowers. The flowering period of this kind of plants is year-round and buds are constantly blooming, so they have always attracted flying insects to pollinate. After pollination, the flowers will shrink and the vines will fall. Ripening on the ground, if not harvested, the seed will puff up on the ground, drift away in the rain, and then take root in a new place.

This kind of plant is similar to the plants on the earth, but it is not exactly the plants recorded in the data in the main world.

Zeng Jiaban saw that some farmers, some soldiers who used to be soldiers in Ji'an City, were captured later, and now they are organized into production teams. They are working in the farmland. While collecting fruits, these farmers looked at the crops, cut off the leaves of those plants with less fruit drop, and then piled them on the roots of the crops with more fruit drop, so as to let water and light to the high-yielding crops. Due to this behavior of human beings interfering with nature, the strong in the species community will always be strong, and the high-yielding ones will flourish, and the low-yielding ones will become firewood.

In this square field, there are always a few gaps among the neatly arranged plants. The original plants here are used as firewood because of insufficient production. Of course, in Wei Keng's plan, after each planting, the The fields with the most plants that have been eliminated will be filled in this gap, and the vacated fields will be planted in a new row, while the filled fields will start a new round of involution.

Zhujijiao has good light and good water, suitable for the growth of leeks? Well, a great place to develop agriculture.

Wei Keng: "Three crops a year? Not enough, not enough, how can young crops do if they don't work hard, they should work hard, have a wolfish spirit, other crops in the field can produce a pound of fruit every week, why can't you?"

Under the care of Wei Keng and other farmers, these crops have been shedding fruit after they grow.

Well, this fallen fruit smells like peanuts. The people who live here now gather these fruits with joy, and then send them to the oil-pressing workshop to separate the peanut oil and residue.

In order to get more fruit, these former captives wore big straw hats and squatted in the fields they had contracted, and counted the number of fallen fruits on each plant in the field every day just after dawn. Such a skilful landlord spirit did not give these crops in the farmland the opportunity to evolve in a cunning direction. Those empty fruits that dared to fall empty, with insufficient oil and no starch in the fallen fruits, were all found by the keen eyes of these contractors. Out. They, the complicated cultural courses may not be able to improve the level, but the attitude of farming may really be imprinted in the genes.

After rushing to the city, Zeng Jiakan ate a meal here in the brick and tile house station, and a pot of bubbling and fragrant pot was brought up.

Strength! This is a popular ration in Ji'an City. When Zeng Jiakan was a child, his family relied on it. When he first entered the commercial company of Ji'an City, he rejected this kind of cheap food, but now? These modified mushrooms made him involuntarily pick up the bamboo chopsticks and roast them over the charcoal fire provided, and he couldn't wait to move.

Ten minutes later, the pot was finished! I drank three bowls of noodle soup. And a plate of fried vegetables? Oh, Wei Keng couldn't tell what kind of vegetable it was. When he found this plant from the cultivation area, he thought it was quite tender, and then he opened a vegetable garden for it.

Any good ingredients! Salt is enough to taste, and oil will be fragrant! This is the unchanging truth.

Putting down the plate, Zeng Jiakan thought for a while, but he still didn't open the toothpick box on the table like the common people here. He stood up and looked at the street scene outside. At first, he looked at the bustling crowd with ease, but then he suddenly realized There are many people with the same appearance here, and then I continue to realize that this is not an ordinary city. A few months ago, in the perception of people in Ji'an City, this place was still a kind of ghost entrenched by a different kind.

He stared blankly at this area that he should be unfamiliar with and always vigilant about. But the businessman and envoy had to admit that this place made him more comfortable.

...

The gathering place built by Wei Keng has undergone such a change in productivity, which can start from the discovery in the battle of Wei Keng in the north:

When Wei Keng captured the node creature who dared to carry his own head during the sweeping operation, he showed extreme emotions and began to destroy its self-healing ability and vitality. He not only burned it with charcoal fire, but also inserted wood.

However, nodal organisms are nodal organisms, and the insertion of organic matter in plants will not swell and pull out like a human finger inserted into the main world, but directly merged. Wei Keng, who was blackened to the most powerful stage at that time, After getting a system prompt, I finally came back from the state and started researching.

Before the era of Pandora, plants in nature could be cultivated through grafting techniques. Garden masters could make a tree bloom seven or eight flowers and bear three kinds of fruits!

However, in this world, it is a natural phenomenon that the information of a large number of weak individual life spreads randomly in nature. Grafting technology does not exist anymore. If you insert a branch of a plant, within a week, the genes of all the nuclei in the branch will be identical to those of the main stem. Same.

However, grafting is not enough, direct hybridization is enough, and the genes of two species can be mixed into a new species in the node organisms of a gene community.

Oh, there is a precedent for this kind of thing. In the city-states of surviving humans in the world, the types of mechanical war beasts can be counted. There are 670 species, and most of them are before Pandora Field spread to the whole world. Human automated combat machines abducted node creatures from Pandora Field, and then put them into the laboratories on the edge of Pandora Field, and implanted them into their bodies. Hybrids evolved from their genes!

When the required hybrid evolution is completed. In theory, this kind of hybrid is part of the node creature trying to build a new species community! Therefore, when the hybrid species is born, in order to be genetically finalized, the original node organisms must be destroyed, so that the hybrid species will become individuals that are no longer subject to the constraints of the original community, and then adapt to human mechanical transformation from generation to generation, becoming a deformity compared to nature, but Companion species that respond to human needs. On the eve of Pandora's spread, Earth's technology was the strongest. At that time, there were the most types of mechanical war beasts. Now, it is very difficult to capture a node creature. Due to the lack of practical conditions, this technology no longer exists in various small city-states. .

Strictly speaking, the crops produced by Wei Keng after the war ended last month are the simplest of this kind of technology. The principle is the same, but why is it the simplest? Plant crossbreeding is much easier than animal crossbreeding. And the deformity of animals may be dead, and all kinds of deformities of plants can sprout. In Pandora's field, even the life field of nodal organisms can be hybridized, it's just that it doesn't belong to any gene group in the wild and will soon deteriorate.

Of course this is the case, using node creatures to quickly cultivate plant species seems to be too extravagant, for the existing human city-states, the conditions required to face node creatures and capture them are too harsh. As for Wei Keng catching node creatures with bare hands, it is unimaginable in the eyes of contemporary people.

The life field radiation hazards of the thing that Wei Keng grasped is the same as a nuclear reactor for ordinary people. It represents that the life activity center of the entire community gathers a large amount of carbon-based life information, which is directly inserted into the gene sequence close to its individual , which is much more serious than the chromosomal abnormalities caused by the simple neutron rays crushing the genes of the reactor.

If humans are lucky enough to acquire a node creature today, it must be used to breed stronger war beasts! Control more areas and open up traffic nodes in more cities.

The few traversers who came to this world in the past also came to a unified conclusion: Beasts are the core of this world! If you can defeat the apostle-level node creatures and create powerful war beasts when they are weak, then you can promote the power of your city to the top. Therefore, the thinking pattern is also carried away.

Wei Keng, with a blank sheet of paper, can be said to have no time-traveling experience, but he is very independent in thinking: growing vegetables is very important, and there must be things I grow in my field!

Now that node creature is not dead so far, but what about the community it represents now, what about other species? They were all strangled by Wei Keng in the war. As a community, when all the subsidiary species are extinct, the central node will also go extinct. But it is still alive, which means that now, its lower hybrids have seized enough energy in nature to support a community.

A large pool was dug five kilometers away from the place of residence. The pool was made of blue bricks. There were many water inlet channels at both ends of the pool. The fat nodal creature that once swallowed Wei Keng is now soaking in the pool, but it is now It started to turn into a vegetable, and the countless veins of flesh and blood became tentacles for drawing water. Now it hides in the center of the pool like a juicy big radish.

Of course, no matter where it hides, there are four concrete corridors that can go deep into the center of the artificial pool, and all dodging is futile.

The administrators here are Wei Keng, who hooks this species with big iron tongs every day, inserts a tube like a steel bar into its internal collection tissue, and observes its life condition!

After being suppressed by Wei Keng, this community that once spawned a large number of animals was observed and controlled step by step here, and transformed towards the node of the plant gene community.

If it doesn't transform, Wei Keng will help it transform.

Every day, excellent crops collected from the farmland are sent here, and then the whole life tissue is inserted into it, and the genetic information is physically output. Wei Keng tirelessly educates it to be good at photosynthesis, and photosynthesis contributes to the world.

Now, basically, this gene group has acquiesced to its producer status in the farmland ecosystem built by Wei Keng.

By the pool, Wei Keng and his team finished their collection work today, put the long iron hook back into the slot by the pool, and the small trolley containing the sample glass tube was transported back to the laboratory. Four Wei Keng were left for final inspection.

A Wei Keng clapped his hands, looking at a pond with roots and floating leaves, Wen Qing suddenly became ill: "In this situation, I want to recite a poem called Moonlight on the Pond."

And the other Wei Keng squatted by the pond, and said to the super-large water radish that was gradually fleeing towards him: "You were enlightened by me, abandon evil and do good, and offer yourself to all living beings. The merits and virtues are immeasurable, immeasurable. I will give you the Great Compassion Mantra, so you can understand it."
