My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely! - Chapter 1424
[1414. Chapter 1394: A lot of work needs to be done, ecological plan!]
Due to drifting on the water for a long time, their bodies had accumulated a lot of fatigue. Not only did they not get a good rest that night, but they all felt back pain because they were not used to the unfamiliar environment.
But fortunately, the bonus provided by the route is not exaggerated, and human physical fitness has far exceeded the previous level of cognition.
Just by getting up and moving around, all the discomforts were suppressed.
Pushing open the door and walking out of the yard, the scorching summer heat showed its most ferocious side in the northern part of the southern fire region with many canyon terrain.
The temperature in the early morning alone had already exceeded 35 degrees. The scorching hot air waves swept back and forth inside the canyon, like a trapped beast with nowhere to vent its blazing anger.
In the small fishing village, the survivors built courtyard walls that separated the areas into pieces.
The areas are connected by slightly flat and narrow walkways, and there are simple drainage channels designed at the base of the walls.
Fishermen appeared in an endless stream. Considering that modern clothes tend to be more beautiful than practical, they have basically disappeared from people’s sight in just over a year. Instead, they were replaced by close-fitting straw raincoats woven from reeds.
The straw raincoat looks ugly and is not very comfortable, but at least you don’t have to be exposed to the scorching sun naked.
In this relatively prosperous and peaceful fishing village, people are basically dressed in standard attire, and many of them cover their heads with straw hats and walk in a hurry.
In addition to the fishermen, there are many survivors from other trades who are busy moving around the fishing village in the morning before it is too hot, and the sounds of hawking can be heard from time to time.
Although everyone looked unhealthy, they were generally quite angry.
And this is the appearance of the gathering place for most survivors in the second year of Wasteland.
There is a lot of work to be done.
Xi Ruyue and Chu Chaofei had both lived in such an environment for a long time, so they didn’t feel anything new at this time. They went out and immediately started chatting with passers-by.
As long as you have material rewards to clear the way, you basically don’t have to worry about any complaints from the people you are holding back.
However, it was the first time for others, and they were all running around the fishing village looking around with some curiosity.
Compared with the original Hope Village, this small fishing village may be even larger, with a population of nearly 4,000 and nearly 300 houses of various sizes.
The fishing village is named ‘Ferry’, which clearly means that it is an outpost for extraditing foreign survivors to join the company.
The survivors living here basically have no special skills and are not qualified to enter the first four areas.
However, since the companies have tasted the sweetness, they have no intention of giving up on these people.
According to the latest policy, as long as you can live in the fishing village for more than one year, you are eligible to move into the fourth area.
Of course, it is not known whether they will move into the fourth area or designate the small fishing village as the fourth area.
Anyway, since there are incentive policies in place, everyone who stays here is surprisingly optimistic.
“Hey, anyway, it may not be as comfortable as here if I move to other places, so I’m too lazy to leave now that I’m here!”
The old fisherman who was talking to Chu Chaofei wiped the sweat from his face and wiped it on his straw raincoat.
“You are new here, so don’t waste your money to get information. Some time ago, a company in the village sent people to set up a bulletin board. If you want to check any information, just go there and take a look.”
After saying that, he immediately added, “Don’t tell me what I told you. If you ask someone about this news, they will definitely rip you off. I only helped you because you look a bit like my nephew.”
“Uncle, you really helped us a lot, but doesn’t the Enterprise speak Blue Star language? We shouldn’t be able to understand what they wrote on the bulletin board, right?”
“Haha, don’t underestimate the people in other companies. I heard that even the sanitation workers sweeping the streets in Hu Lai City are professors on Earth, and the workers picked out of any factory are all academicians. How strange! If such people can’t learn our Chinese language, it would be weird.
It should be that not long after the four major regions were successfully established, the communication problem was solved!”
It seems that the old fisherman is not very well educated, but his ability of bragging and imagination is quite good.
Sanitation worker professor, worker academician?
Who came up with this idea? It makes me feel like the emperor should be using a golden hoe to plow the land.
Chu Chaofei didn’t keep asking questions. He laughed and left with the excuse of going to check the bulletin board.
However, when he asked people along the way and arrived at the bulletin board, he found that Su Chan and Xi Ruyue had already arrived.
It has to be said that the style of the bulletin board built for corporate construction is completely out of tune with the entire fishing village.
Before coming here, Chu Chaofei thought that the so-called bulletin board was the kind commonly seen on Earth, a simple iron or wooden plate with notices or advertisements written crookedly in paint or chalk, and perhaps covered with various small advertisements and lost and found notices, appearing both messy and full of life.
However, the bulletin board in front of him was made of an unknown silver-white metal material, with a surface as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the light and shadow of the surrounding environment. Its shape was actually a streamlined three-dimensional structure, like a spaceship about to set sail.
There are no paper or handwritten notices on the bulletin board. Instead, there is a huge electronic screen that scrolls various information, ranging from the latest business developments to the weather forecast for the fishing village.
What surprised Chu Chaofei even more was that this bulletin board also had interactive functions.
He saw Su Chan standing in front of the screen curiously. He reached out and touched it lightly. The information on the screen immediately changed and displayed the corresponding information.
Is this what business is?
Chu Chaofei was secretly shocked, and quickly quickened his pace and walked up to the two of them.
“I just heard from someone that there is a bulletin board in the village where the Enterprise puts all the information that the survivors need to know. I didn’t expect you to be so fast and get there one minute earlier than me.”
“We were just wandering around and suddenly saw this screen.”
Xi Ruyue smiled. It wasn’t that they were too sharp-eyed, it was just that this thing was too conspicuous.
Just now there were quite a few people gathered nearby to check the weather and announcements, and they were embarrassed to go over. Now they waited until most people had left before coming over to see what was going on.
Just as the two were chatting and sharing information, Su Chan suddenly stopped moving her fingers.
“Hey, come and have a look. No wonder this tributary in the canyon is large enough to build several small fishing villages along the river, and the aquatic products can support more than 200,000 people. It turns out that this is the work of an enterprise.”
An announcement message froze on the screen, and the date showed that it was released by the company on the twenty-seventh day.
That was just two days after the announcement of the three cold snaps disaster.
The title of the announcement is “Sustainable and long-term construction of the surrounding river ecosystem”. At first glance, the message it conveys should be a call for humans to protect the ecological environment of the surrounding tributaries.
Not only does the entire announcement not contain any words calling on humans to protect the environment, but it also implies an intensification of development efforts.
The company has clearly announced that they will continue to carry out scientific aquaculture and breeding activities for the next full year.
The specific plan is as follows:
In the first month, it is expected that 8,000 to 15,000 adult fish will be released into the upper reaches of the tributaries every day as a preliminary experimental release to observe the initial impact and adaptability of the fish population to the river ecology.
In the second month, once the effectiveness of the initial release is confirmed, the company will increase the release number by an astonishing tenfold, and the number of adult fish released every day will be no less than 100,000, in order to rapidly expand the size of the fish school and create a significant ecological effect.
By the third month, the number will increase fivefold, reaching a peak of 500,000 per day.
As long as there are no unexpected circumstances, the peak value will continue for the remaining nine months, that is, calculated at 500,000, which will completely revitalize the ecological environment of the surrounding waters.
“Oh my God, 500,000 a day, wouldn’t that be more than 10 million a month?” Chu Chaofei was stunned.
Based on the current population gathered nearby, each person can get two fish on average.
And this is not delivered once a month, but once a day.
Isn’t this behavior equivalent to directly delivering supplies to the surrounding Earth players?
All we have to do is stay near the upstream companies’ release points and start fishing as soon as the fish enter the water, and we can easily catch a enough number of fish.
“They are not fry yet. The characteristics indicate that they are adult fish!”
Xi Ruyue captured the key point.
Although there is only one word difference between releasing fish fry and releasing adult fish, the gap between them is extremely huge.
Common economic fish in China, such as black carp, black carp and grass carp, basically take one to two years, or seven or eight months, to grow into maturity.
Even the African Pseudogranchus, which has the fastest growth rate in the world, needs at least four months.
Regardless of where the fish fry in the company’s hands come from, even if they started cultivating fish fry as soon as the Julong Xianjiang appeared, it would be impossible to ensure such a large-scale release in just three months.
The only possible explanation is that the company has a special means to produce adult fish.
It sounds incredible, but it is the only reasonable explanation at the moment.
“The company could have given these fish for free to people living upstream and downstream, but they chose to release them upstream, leaving the survivors to fight for it themselves.”
Su Chan seemed to be thinking about something. This situation was actually not uncommon in the Tianyuan territory.
In order to quickly improve the level of new survivors, the territory not only provides initial material packages, but also opens a number of special training classes to help newcomers quickly find the direction of their interests and get a job to make a living.
However, just like what businesses are doing now, these resources and opportunities are not provided free of charge.
Newcomers will therefore be saddled with a sizeable loan that will require them to work for several months to repay.
By bearing a certain amount of survival pressure, we can better stimulate their enthusiasm and sense of responsibility, and also help cultivate the self-reliance and independent spirit of newcomers.
At the same time, this practice also reflects the territory management’s rational allocation and management of resources.
Or to put it more bluntly, this is actually a means of “screening”.
When resources are very limited, by setting certain thresholds and conditions, we can ensure that these resources can truly be used to help newcomers who have potential, motivation, and willingness to work hard.
Those who want to give up or have other ideas will be quickly cleared out to avoid waste and abuse of resources and allow more people to benefit.
“Companies are also screening so that those who stay will create value.”
Before traveling to the wasteland, Su Chan asked herself that she would never have imagined the deep meaning behind these methods.
But now, she just thought about it for a moment and immediately understood the intention behind it.
Chu Chaofei and Xi Ruyue were still marveling at the company’s generosity, completely unaware of the deeper meaning behind the company’s implementation of this plan.
This is where perspective helps.
“No wonder so many people left in a hurry so early in the morning. They must have gone upstream to grab fish.”
“It’s still the first month and there aren’t many available. Everyone can get one, so it’s normal to scramble for it.”
“But even if we use the maximum allocation, each person will only get two fish. It seems that what Big Neck told us last night was right. The people here really don’t want the outside world to know the true situation of the company, otherwise the competition will be too fierce.”
As they were talking, a few more people came over from a distance and also talked to each other.
It was Feng Long who also got the news. They did not look at the bulletin board, but heard from passing fishermen that the company would release adult fish every day.
I saw the science fiction bulletin board and Su Chan and the other two who were checking it.
Feng Long was stunned for a moment, then he walked up, touching the back of his head, and just in time saw the announcement that had not yet been swiped away on the display screen.
“The company’s appetite is quite large. It is clear that it is trying to gather its own forces.”
If the survivors in other places knew that the company was giving away supplies for free like this, they would probably go crazy and rush to settle around the company to enjoy this free benefit.
Unfortunately, due to game restrictions, the company did not know that humans had the world chat function, nor did it know that the humans around them were frantically “planning their families” on it, and they were afraid that more people would come to compete for the benefits.
No, there should be humans in the first area who can talk directly to the company, but these people have not promoted the company to the outside world, so no one knows what their specific ideas are.
“Not only is it a way to gather power, they are also using this method to attract talent and demonstrate their strength. After all, being able to release 500,000 adult fish every day is an amazing method.”
Just a simple announcement reveals a lot of information.
While it was still early, a few people simply squatted in front of the bulletin board and read through all the announcement information from beginning to end.
When the screen froze on the benefits of moving in that Big Neck had mentioned last night, everyone’s expressions became solemn.
No wonder Su Mo asked them to come in advance to inquire about the news. If they really don’t care and let the company develop like this, the consequences in the future will be unimaginable!
