Chapter 253 How to Develop Indigenous People

Experts have been thinking about how to solve the problem of underground caves for a long time, but there is no particularly good solution.

Judging from the current situation, even if there are mines on the surface, people are not very brave to dig because of the large area of ​​underground caves. If the ground collapses, the entire base will be lost, wouldn’t it be a loss of both people and money?

With the current technology of mankind, it is actually possible to fight against nature and do mining while consolidating the foundation, but the economic cost of doing so is too high and not very cost-effective.

So these scholars generally believe that it is better to go directly to the Arctic to mine...

There are no volcanoes, no geothermal heat, and it is cold all year round. There won’t be so many underground holes, right?

After rigorous demonstration by biologists, people can now determine that large underground holes are corroded by black worms. If there is no geothermal heat, it is unlikely that there will be black worms underground, and it is unlikely to have holes.

Listening to the discussion of the experts, Yu Yifeng kept thinking in his heart.

Changing a base is not a big deal... At least from an economic point of view, it is much simpler than consolidating the foundation. The holes below are almost endless, so there is no need to force it.

Humans are not short of equipment. There are still a large number of flight bases and excavation machines on the Noah, which are not officially used. The new human civilization is just short of manpower. When the base is rebuilt, the engineers here will be transferred to the Arctic region in large numbers.

Of course, according to the discussion of these experts, there are both advantages and disadvantages to the transfer of the new base to the Arctic region of Nix Star.

The temperature there is minus 200 degrees Celsius, the temperature is too low, the biological activity is weak, and the microorganisms are scarce... Therefore, the biological control tasks in the Arctic region have been reduced a lot, and the probability of people getting sick will be greatly reduced.

Moreover, the combustible ice resources in the Arctic are easier to mine, and there will be no shortage of energy from now on!

But then again, because the temperature is too low, various machines will be severely tested, and the mechanical failure rate will be greatly increased...

Many materials should be replaced, especially cement materials must be replaced with special cold-resistant cement to adapt to the low temperature of more than minus 200 degrees Celsius.

In short, these problems can be big or small, not to say that they cannot be solved!

Problems that can be solved are not big problems!

The biggest problem that currently plagues the new human civilization is still the lack of manpower! Population is the most critical factor restricting industrial development. No matter how smart human machines are, they are not real artificial intelligence. They must be controlled by humans in the background.

So... people must be encouraged to have two or even three, four, and five children! In short, the more the better!

We must vigorously strengthen social public services, strengthen the education system of the entire civilization, and encourage people to have more children!

"Fortunately, there are stem cell reactivation reagents. People are still passionate even if they are in their thirties, and the birth rate has increased a lot..." Yu Yifeng thought.

"If there are 200,000 high-quality people, it would be great!"

"If it doesn't work, just close all the factories that produce condoms! If you get pregnant, you have to give birth!" Just as he was thinking about it, all the formal discussions ended.

"Then it is decided that we will build a new main base in the Arctic region. The factories that have been built here don't need to be demolished on a large scale. Just treat it as a branch base!"

Yu Yifeng finally decided on all the agendas and tried to guide the topic to the indigenous people.

He changed the subject and said casually, "Oh, by the way, I have something very important to tell you. Take a look at the video file I just sent. It was given to me by a soldier who was missing before. Take a look first."

He clicked on the video recording, and was very curious about how everyone would react. He should be the first one to know about this except for the eight soldiers.

The others were still sitting silently until now, and some were even distracted thinking about what they had just discussed. They just thought that Yu Yifeng wanted to show them some industrial videos.

Then, the video began to play. From the first image, everyone was stunned, even the few people who had just been distracted were stunned, just like Yu Yifeng's expression at that time.

Some people opened their mouths wide and didn't close them for a long time. Some of them stared with their eyes wide open without blinking!

The video started with the lizardmen cutting insects, then negotiating with the soldiers, and then returning to their large village...

When these lizardmen saw the liquid nitrogen people took out to freeze, they all showed puzzled expressions. A curious lizard even touched the ice on the surface of the power armor with its claws. After being stimulated, the claws immediately retracted, then touched again, and retracted again.

They were very curious, why did the water suddenly freeze?

Why is this layer of "scales" so hard?

They are indeed worthy of being the "messengers of the gods"!

However, they are also very smart. After a period of negotiation with the soldiers, they seemed to understand something and took out some strange herbs to apply to the power armor.

In this way, the smell of special herbs avoided the harassment of black insects, and there was no need to spray liquid nitrogen on the surface.

Wu Hao and others also followed stupidly, as if they were not afraid of danger... or they thought they had taken the initiative.

From a distance, this indigenous village is based on earth mounds and caves. There are about thousands of earth mounds of various sizes. The total population of lizard natives is estimated to be more than 10,000, all stationed in the crater!

Yes, the crater!

The whole video was just shot from a distance, and it was not approached.

But everyone here saw thick magma at the bottom several hundred meters deep! The light they gave off slightly illuminated the area. This may be the brightest place underground.

However, these magma rolling areas are not violent, perhaps because this area has not had geological activity for too long and has gradually become silent.

Wu Hao and these fools actually followed the lizard natives without any precautions, and then walked to the crater area inexplicably. Maybe their hearts were also broken...

A large number of black bugs crawled on the volcanic rock walls. This time there were really huge numbers, many times more than what they had encountered before. If the previous time was a desert, this time... it was a completely boundless ocean!

But when these bugs get enough heat, they look very docile. They absorb heat, survive and reproduce on the magma walls. Of course, after hundreds of millions of years of evolution, they can always find a suitable place to prevent themselves from being ignited by high temperatures.

Under such high heat conditions, the surface temperature has reached 30-40 degrees Celsius. If it is closer to the place, it may rise to 60 to 70 degrees!

The indigenous villages are located in the outer areas around 30-40 degrees Celsius. Perhaps in this high-heat environment, even if it doesn't spray herbs or ice, the heated power armor won't be attractive.

This crater area is already the core of the underground ecosystem and the largest cave. Because magma provides a lot of heat energy, there are various large creatures here, as well as a large number of plants, fungi, etc.

They are all geothermal energy creatures! The ability to synthesize organic matter just by absorbing heat energy is a unique ability of Nix's life!

The rock walls and stone pillars around the crater have been corroded by the acid and are so crystal clear that they can even reflect the light of the magma! Also due to the effect of biological acids, these stones only left the strongest mixed material, and their texture was really hard and scary.

One of the team members also used a chainsaw to cut one of the pillars out of curiosity, leaving only a shallow mark.

You know... the material of the electric saw is Super Alloy Z! It is enough to see how hard the acid mixture is condensed, so this huge cave did not collapse.

Spectacular, really spectacular!

Yu Yifeng was amazed while watching it. Although he had watched this video several times, he was still shocked every time he watched it.

This kind of underground landscape is beyond human imagination...

The venue was very quiet for a time, whether it was the Noah conference room or the Knicks conference room, even the sound of breathing was held.

People are digesting the information they receive, as if watching a movie.

But everyone knows that Yu Yifeng cannot be free to watch movies for them...

After the video ended, everyone seemed to be down, without saying a word.

"This is……"

After a long time, a biologist's eyes widened and he made the first exclamation in the conference room: "Underground cave? Aboriginal civilization? Was it discovered in a large underground cave?!"

"It can't be computer-generated, right? Mr. Yu, where did the video come from?"

"Real or fake? It's not a movie special effect, is it?"

Everyone asked anxiously, and their first feeling was: This video is fake!

But judging from the rough shooting techniques and realistic scenes, it doesn't look like it's deliberately fake, and there's no need to fake it to entertain everyone.

Even Xu Yunjin's eyes lit up and he roared: "Isn't this Wu Hao? What's going on with my soldiers!"

Hearing Xu Yunjin's anxious roar, everyone knew that the probability of the matter being true was extremely high! Their eyes are getting brighter and brighter, as if they are incredible!

A huge underground cave, and there is even an indigenous civilization inside!

What does it mean to be Aboriginal?

Everyone in the conference room was suddenly out of breath with excitement and panting like an ox.

But they really couldn't figure out how to deal with these indigenous people for a while.

"Do it! Capture them and go dig them!"

Dr. Rimbaud shouted excitedly and jumped up from his position. In fact, the field of his research has nothing to do with the indigenous people. At this time, he was just shouting out of curiosity.

Suddenly, everyone recovered from the shock and started laughing.

When it comes to mining...these indigenous lizards have thin arms and legs. It is estimated that the output of the entire village together will not exceed that of a heavy excavator.

But after such a smile, everyone was silent and thinking.

What does it mean that intelligent civilization is simply encountered like this?

They are not simple-minded soldiers, but think about deeper things.

In this universe, civilization can't be a piece of shit, right?

Maybe, it's really possible...

Are humans so lucky? What if civilization is rare and can be encountered casually?

Life is rotten, and civilization may be rotten too. That’s why we can explain: Randomly on a fairly good planet, we encountered civilization...

Whether civilization is rare or not is not considered for the moment, so... what should we do with these indigenous lizards?

This is the primary question before us.

Human beings are neither virgins nor butchers. There is nothing good or bad without any reason in the world. From a civilized perspective, we must think about issues based on “interests”.

What can indigenous civilization bring to mankind? What are the benefits? What can they do to help humans? Will it pose a threat?

These are all questions worth pondering...
