Hao Ren followed the prestige and saw a tall man in an off-white uniform standing a few meters away - most of the people here were wearing the same clothes, and the face of the person in front of him was nothing special, Hao Ren was not impressed by him.However, the man took the initiative to come over, looked up and down the image projected by the data terminal, and repeated it again: "Nolan?
”"Are you ......"
Nolan looked at the strange man puzzled, "I know you?"
”"I'm Ulanov," the strange man reacted after a moment's pause, "I don't think I've met you in this image." ”"Ulanov?!"
Hao Ren's eyes widened, looking at this tall and healthy man in surprise, he really didn't expect that he would reunite with the other party in this situation - it was unexpected, "I really didn't expect to see you here......
Suddenly, I didn't dare to recognize the version with a face!
”Ulanov's expression stiffened, and he touched his face with a smile: "I wasn't born with a mask.Ah, meeting you reminds me of those 'dreams', what a confusing memory......
Oh, I think I should call you Lord or Governor of the planet right now?
”Ulanov's expression was a little strange, he looked at Hao Ren, his smile was embarrassed and confused: "I just came out of the social adaptation department, and I also heard the teachings of the 'Root of Origin', you seem to be the master of this planet. ”To be honest, like the other Zom people who had just woken up, he didn't quite understand the situation in front of him, but he was different from the other Zom people in that he had already met Hao Ren before, and they had been with him for a long time, which made him extremely overwhelmed now.Hao Ren didn't feel anything about this, he waved his hand: "Feel free, I'm just an adventurer, this planet is just a place for me to settle down temporarily."
I've given this planet to Djom as its new home, so you can do whatever you want here, and I don't care. ”Ulanov shrugged: "You said it easily. ”"Just listen to him," Nolan said beside him, seeing the situation, "This guy is indeed this character, and he is rich in the lining planet, how can you be polite to him again." ”Ulanov looked at Nolan with some surprise, and he felt that his "dream chief" seemed to have changed a lot after many days of absence."
It's such a coincidence," Hao Ren patted Ulanov's arm and motioned for the others to stop standing in this place, "Let's find a place to talk." ”The group arrived at Ulanov's current temporary residence, a hut near the town's central square, which numbered more than a dozen around the central square, all of which were made of rudimentary planks and were reserved for those who had just recovered from a pool of blood and could not immediately return to their social roles.Ulanov was to live here until he "graduated" from the social adaptation department, after which he would be assigned to other parts of town, either to work in production or to study some simple mechanical device, which was now used and could be built from nearby materials."
There is a shortage of manpower everywhere, strong adults come out of the pool of blood every day, but there is still not enough manpower, we have to build stable and safe settlements everywhere, stock up on enough food and fortify the town before the temperature drops, these houses are too fragile now," said Ulanov, who had just heard about his life here, strictly speaking, from the social adaptation department, his eyes looking out through the window of the hut, from which he could see the pool of blood in the central square, and the silver-white alloy antenna tower that towered over the middle of the town, "I may have to go to the construction site by the river, this town is next to a river, and our people are trying to put it to use, and with the materials at hand, maybe I can build a water-powered mill before the winter of this planet, so that the green tree seeds collected from the forest can be peeled and preserved in large quantities."
We're going to make that seed a staple food. ”Hao Ren looked at Ulanov's slightly tired look: "How are you?"
”Ulanov rubbed the corners of his forehead: "There is a slight obstacle in memory, you know, I just woke up from a long, long nightmare, they say that my brain is redividing the real part and the dream part, the hardest hours have passed, but it is said that there will be some mild symptoms for the next two days."
I can still remember fighting as a soldier and as a musician in my dreams, but I also remember a long time ago when I lay down in a soul extractor and uploaded my consciousness to the ark......
I can't believe that was 10,000 years ago. ”"Your planet ......," Hao Ren hesitated a little when he said the subject."
I know," Ulanov smiled, "that every one of us knows, the Root of Origin, oh, you should call him 'Zom', who has poured everything into our minds, and that we have to understand the situation before us when we wake up."
To be honest, it was unbearable, but it had already happened, and now we can only look forward. ”As he spoke, he chuckled to himself, "Actually, we are very lucky—at least we all survived and got a new home."
The original Ark Project did not anticipate that situation, and we should be grateful to the Goddess for surviving that situation. ”Yitzhax casually asked, "You still believe in the goddess of creation?"
”"Of course, why not?""
Oh, although the dream confuses many people's minds a little, the first memories come back after waking up, and of course we remember who we prayed to before we entered the ark. ”"Pray?"
Hao Ren seemed to hear a very interesting word all of a sudden, "You said you prayed before entering the ark?"
”"That's right," Ulanov didn't understand why Hao Ren paid special attention to this, "the goddess of creation is our core belief, no matter what stage of society it develops, the church is an important part of us, and we should pray. ”Lily's ears suddenly stood up, and she scratched Hao Ren's arm vigorously: "Landlord, Mu Lu didn't say ......"
"I know," Hao Ren waved his hand, "Mu Lu only knows part of the truth, after all, he is not omniscient.I'll ask him that question when I get back.Anyway, you're okay with your life here, right?
”Hao Ren's last sentence was said to Ulanov, who smiled and nodded after hearing it: "As you can see, the basic life is fine."
The AI who maintains the antenna towers on this planet helped build some of the houses, as well as most of the necessities.These things—" Ulanov gestured to his own clothes, a low-cost and extremely fast synthetic fabric garment made by an AI factory: "Clothes, medicines, some tools, and food, they all provide them."
Every morning, the townspeople hike to a rationing point a kilometer away, where a large platform is dropped by a robot covered in mechanical tentacles.But we have a whole 1.6 billion people going back to the real world, and we can't just rely on AI factories to feed them, so now we are also trying to find a way to rebuild our own production system. ”Ulanov pointed to the hut where the group was: "The strong men are building the houses, and the women are studying the animals and plants.'
Zom' is replicating the species we are familiar with into this world, but in order to adapt to the environment of this planet, many species have changed, and we need to re-understand it.In addition, I heard that the speed of releasing people from the blood pool has been limited recently, because the materials are not very up, although the source blood will make trees and crops mature quickly, but it is still impossible to maintain the survival of 1.6 billion people in a short period of time, we can only leave most of the population in the virtual world first, so that the real nature can grow healthily. ”Hao Ren listened carefully to Ulanov's account of the current situation, and he felt that it was all very valuable knowledge—a civilization that had started on a strange planet, a group of people who had nothing to rebuild their society with the limited support of the Alien Factory, and the way the Zom and his autonomic machines, and the ruins of the Tanagus civilization, were all areas that were difficult to access.Hao Ren felt that it was necessary for him to accumulate all his experience, after all, as a character who went wherever he went, he really didn't know when he would encounter a more evil mission......
And at this moment, a small noise from the central square suddenly interrupted the conversation between Hao Ren and Ulanov.
