Chapter 276 The Magic of Money

The excavation work is still going on...

It has been so long since the decline of the Nix civilization that all paper books have long been rotten.

In this case, it is already good that one out of ten thousand books has been preserved as a fossil. But even this one has a high probability of blurred handwriting and very limited information.

This has brought certain difficulties to human historical research, and people can only hope for electronic books or some particularly exquisite collection books.

Plastic, metal or some silicon-based chips, disks and storage devices are relatively not easy to rot and may be preserved relatively well in a sealed space.

Moreover, more than 10 million years ago, the oxygen content in the atmosphere was not high, and the oxidation reaction between air and matter was not very intense. Perhaps the sealed things can survive to this day...

Of course, because of the long time, data storage devices may cause data loss due to the movement of atoms, which also brings certain difficulties to the restoration work of technicians...

In short, these are not big problems, and there will always be a way.

With such a large base of relics and so many things, there will always be more discoveries!

For things like picking up garbage, everyone is already quite familiar with it.

Time is too tight, and developing technology by ourselves is too slow. Only by picking up garbage can we maintain our lives.

The Thor volcanic belt is also the largest geothermal area on Nix. Fortunately, this volcano has not erupted for a long time, and the geothermal heat has slowly subsided, and there are no large numbers of black worms living here.

Humans may be able to get a complete relic of civilization!

The city of Thor is also the largest city in Balgaria, covering an area of ​​109.7 square kilometers. It is also divided into multi-layer three-dimensional structures, most of which are buried deep underground.

20% of the population of Nix civilization once lived in this huge city!

The native lizards are wearing thick radiation protection suits and are busy at the excavation site. They will work with human engineers to carry out excavation work.

Moreover, as the training of the lizard natives is gradually completed, the number of native people working here will increase.

"According to the current situation, the entire Nix civilization did have a nuclear war. Even after so many years, the nuclear radiation in some areas is still high... You can even see traces of missile attacks! Damn, do they always attack nuclear power plants first when they fight? Don't they know that blowing up nuclear power plants will cause long-term pollution?" Several engineers at the excavation site were complaining to each other.

This nuclear power plant appeared on the edge of Thor City, and it turned into a "forbidden place" in the mouths of the lizard natives because the nuclear radiation has not dissipated yet.

The radiation of ordinary nuclear bombs usually dissipates in hundreds or thousands of years, but the pollutants of nuclear power plants are so strong. Because the radioactive elements contained in ordinary atomic bombs are usually measured in kilograms, but for nuclear power plants, hundreds of tons or even thousands of tons are not uncommon, which is several orders of magnitude different.

In addition, this land rarely has precipitation and wind, and will not be diluted, so these nuclear wastes have not disappeared and have slowly become strong to this day.

"This civilization actually had a nuclear war... Could it be that they are more warlike and destroyed the world?" Another engineer shrugged his nose and tested the mud below. There were indeed a small amount of radioactive elements... Their intensity could cause disease.

Humans are such a warlike race. Since the invention of nuclear bombs, they have begun to restrain each other for fear of blowing up their own homes.

This seemingly more powerful civilization actually started a war. Could it be that there is some deep hatred between them that requires nuclear bombs? !

This is simply unimaginable... A mature civilization would never do this, right?

Or... Did they provoke a certain hot-tempered interstellar civilization and were directly wiped out by nuclear bombs?

These nuclear radiations leave people with a lot of room for imagination... It's really weird.

Although there is still some radiation in some corners, its intensity is not a big problem after wearing radiation protection suits.

After all, after more than 10 million years, the highly radioactive elements have already passed hundreds or thousands of half-lives and can be ignored. Only elements with weaker radioactivity can last for so many years... These radiations can be completely isolated by radiation protection suits and gloves alone.

I have to say that these native lizards have good potential and are quite capable of working. Their hands are also quite flexible and they are fully capable of simple excavation work.

They were scared to death of this forbidden land at first. But since they put on the radiation protection suit and found that there was nothing to worry about, they gradually became bolder and more respectful to humans...

This forbidden land was conquered by putting on a piece of clothing. They couldn't understand it at all... It was as if the devil had really retreated.

They were full of worship for this clothing, and they had to do some rituals every time they put it on and took it off.

And this clothing is quite warm, and there is a heating power bank inside, which is simply a magical tool!

At present, the native lizards have done a good job in fine excavation, and can also pick out things that look valuable... Their eyes are actually more suitable for work in this dim light environment than humans.

Many engineers are quite satisfied with their work. If the number of lizards increases, human engineers will only need to do some relatively important excavation work.

For example, the excavation of high-tech factories and scientific research institutes, etc., can save a lot of human resources and time.

Of course, people are not stingy enough to let the lizards work for free, and they will also give appropriate material rewards.

Otherwise, relying solely on the majesty of the "messenger of the gods" can frighten them for a while, but in the long run, their enthusiasm for work will definitely decrease.

They are not yet at the level of fanatics. If you want a horse to run fast, you have to eat more grass. In a similar way, material incentives must be put on the agenda.

Judging from the current productivity, even feeding the world's lizards is not a big deal for humans, let alone the hundreds and thousands of them now.

Compared with humans, this indigenous civilization is too primitive and has not even solved the problem of food and clothing. They have not understood many conceptual things, and all educational work can only be done step by step.

It's very easy to deal with them, just a little heat or food is enough to make them grateful.

Giving them some necessary living supplies can stimulate their enthusiasm for work.

Moreover, people have stipulated that they can also bring daily necessities back to their villages to improve the living standards of the villages.

According to the survey, the thing they crave most is...fuel!

This kind of thing burns very vigorously and lasts for a long time. It is the heat source that these geothermal energy creatures are very eager for.

It's too wet underground, there aren't many things that can burn, and flammable ice rarely appears in such places.

The emergence of fuel is a more beautiful treasure than food. After all, these lizard natives can also use thermal difference energy to synthesize organic substances.

I have to say that the starting difficulty of this group of indigenous lizards is much easier than that of the Knicks. At least there is oxygen in the atmosphere and something to burn... They are even very lucky to encounter humans!

At the suggestion of some experts, a new policy emerged.

In order to encourage these lizards to work hard and study hard, people have designed a special economic system and a work performance evaluation system for them.

According to regulations, every lizard native will be paid after working for a month!

Now, for the first time, the lizards felt...

The magic of money!

money!

They can buy what they want in a specialized supermarket!

The premise is... there is enough money.

As long as you have money, you can buy whatever you want!

This large supermarket is located near the ruins of Thor City and next to mankind's main archaeological base. There is a dazzling array of products inside, specially prepared for lizards.

After a group of lizards were told the rules, they walked in curiously and dazedly, and they immediately jumped up with excitement.

"Metal spear: 138 yuan/piece."

"One barrel of fuel: 15 yuan/liter. Purchase limit is 5 liters per person per month."

"Metal hunting clip: 39 yuan/piece."

"Telescope: 198/piece."

"Walkie-talkie: 445 yuan/couple."

"Mobile phone: 1866 yuan/piece."

"Music box: 110/piece."

…

Yes, you read that right! Not just food and metal products, but also a small amount of electronic equipment, such as mobile phones, music boxes, etc.!

Many lizardmen looked at the large number of goods on display with confusion and excitement, and their emotions became more and more enthusiastic. They all wanted to grab it with their hands, but with a "bang", they were directly blocked by the thick glass.

You have to use "money" to buy it!

This is the highest rule set by mankind!

Whether you understand it or not, that’s it!

This is the first time that the Lizard natives have heard about the concept of "money" and have experienced the benefits of money. They are beginning to become somewhat clearer...

This is simply a naked temptation. How can they withstand it?

Yes, these natives started to riot wildly!

Several lizards couldn't control themselves at all and frantically wanted to smash the glass and grab things. The whole supermarket immediately became noisy, and all the lizards started smashing the glass.

As a result, several security robots quickly came out of the room, grabbed the leading ones, and put them in a cage. The lizards screamed and didn't put them down.

Others were also knocked to the ground by electric shock, leaving a mess wherever the electric baton passed.

Now, after receiving the stimulation of the electric current, all the lizards suddenly became extremely honest, staring at the cabinet one by one, but they did not dare to move their bodies.

They remembered the rules of the "Messenger of the Spirits", and they really could not violate them, and they did not dare to violate them.

They began to hold their hands and wait for the day when their wages would be paid...

Only money can buy it!
