Chapter 846 Life in the New World

Hao Ren looked around and saw a tall man wearing gray and white uniforms standing a few meters away - most of the people here were wearing the same clothes, and there was nothing special about the face of the man in front of him. Hao Ren was attracted by it. Not much of an impression. However, this man took the initiative to come over, looked up and down at the image projected by the data terminal, and then repeated: "Nolan?"

"You are..." Nolan looked at this strange man in confusion, "I know you?"

"I am Ulanov," the strange man said after being stunned for a moment and then immediately responded, "I don't think I have ever met you in this image."

"Ulanov?!" Hao Ren opened his eyes wide and looked at this tall and healthy man in surprise. He really didn't expect that he would meet him again under such circumstances - it was reasonable but unexpected. "I really didn't expect to see you here... Suddenly I saw the version with a face and I didn't even dare to recognize you!"

Ulanov's expression stiffened, and he touched his face in confusion: "I was not born wearing a mask. Ah, meeting you reminds me of those 'dreams', which are really confusing memories... ...Oh, I think I should call you Lord Lord or Planet Governor now?"

Ulanov's expression was a little weird. He looked at Hao Ren with an awkward and confused smile: "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 planet." the master."

To be honest, he, like other Drom people who had just woken up, could not quite understand the situation in front of him, but what was different between him and other Drom people was that he had already met Hao Ren before, and had been with him for a long time. , which made him particularly at a loss now. Hao Ren didn't feel anything about this. He waved his hand: "Whatever, I'm just an adventurer. This planet is just a temporary place for me to stay. I have given this planet to Zhuom as its new home. You guys Just feel free to do whatever you want here, I don’t care.”

Ulanov shrugged: "You said it quite easily."

"Just listen to him," Nolan said to the side after seeing the situation, "This guy does have this character, and he is rich enough to live on the planet. If you are polite to him, how can you be so polite?"

Ulanov looked at Nolan with some surprise. He felt that his "dream commander" seemed to have changed a lot after not seeing him for many days.

"It's such a coincidence," Hao Ren patted Ulanov's arm and motioned for the others to stop standing around here, "Let's find a place to chat."

The group of people came to the place where Ulanov is currently staying, which is a hut located near the central square of the town. There are more than a dozen such huts around the central square, all built with simple wooden boards, and are specially designed for those who It is inhabited by people who have just recovered from the blood pool and cannot immediately return to their social roles. Ulanov will live here until he "graduates" from the social adaptation department, and then will be assigned to other parts of the town, either to engage in production work, or to study some simple mechanical devices - which are useful now, And it can be made from nearby materials.

"Now there is a shortage of manpower everywhere. Strong adults come out of the blood pool every day, but there are still not enough manpower. We need to establish stable and safe settlements everywhere, stock up on enough food before the temperature drops and do a good job in the town. Reinforcement work, these houses are too fragile now," Ulanov said about his life here, strictly speaking, the life he had just heard about from the social adaptation department, looking out through the window of the hut , from here you can see the blood pool in the central square and the silver-white alloy antenna tower standing in the center of the town. "I may go to the construction site by the river. This town is next to a river. Our people are trying hard to think To make use of it, with the materials at hand, maybe I can build a water-powered mill before the winter of this planet comes, so that the green tree seeds collected from the forest can be peeled and preserved in large quantities. We plan to peel that tree The seeds are used as staple food.”

Hao Ren looked at Ulanov's slightly tired expression: "How are you doing?"

Ulanov rubbed his forehead: "There are some obstacles in memory. You know, I just woke up from a very long nightmare. They said that my brain is re-dividing the real part and the dream part. The most difficult part is A few hours have passed, but mild symptoms are said to remain for the next two days. I can still remember in my dreams fighting as a soldier and as a musician, but I also remember a long time ago when I lay in a soul In the extractor, I uploaded my consciousness into the ark... I can’t believe that was already 10,000 years ago.”

"Your planet..." Hao Ren was a little hesitant when he talked about this topic.

"I know," Ulanov smiled, "Everyone of us knows, the 'Root of Origin', oh, you should call him 'Zroam', he instills everything that happens. Entering our minds, we must first understand the situation before us after waking up. To be honest, that scene is unbearable, but things have happened, and now we can only look forward."

As he spoke, he laughed to himself: "Actually, we are very lucky - at least we all survived and got a new home. The original Ark plan did not foresee that kind of situation. We can survive in that situation. You should be grateful to the goddess for her care.”

Yzaks asked casually: "Do you still believe in the goddess of creation?"

"Of course, why not?" Ulanov said matter-of-factly, "Oh, although dreams make many people's minds a little confused, the first memories come back after waking up. Of course we remember that we entered the ark Who were you praying to before?”

"Pray?" Hao Ren seemed to hear a very concerning word at once, "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 society develops, the church is an important part of us. We should pray."

Lily's ears suddenly pricked up, and she scratched Hao Ren's arm: "Landlord, didn't Mulu say..."

"I know," Hao Ren waved his hand, "What Mulu knows is only part of the truth. After all, he is not omniscient and omnipotent. I will ask him this question after I go back. By the way, are your lives here okay?"

Hao Ren said the last words to Ulanov, who smiled and nodded after hearing this: "As you can see, basic life is fine. The AIs responsible for maintaining the antenna towers on this planet help Part of the house was built, along with most of the necessities of life. These things—"

Ulanov pointed to the clothes he was wearing, which was a synthetic fabric garment made by an AI factory with low cost and extremely fast production speed: "Clothes, medicines, some tools, and food are all provided by them. . People in the town walk to a distribution point one kilometer away every morning. There is a large platform there, and a robot covered with mechanical tentacles will drop rationed supplies there. But we have a total of 1.6 billion If the population wants to return to the real world, it will not be enough to rely on AI factories to feed it, so now we are also looking for ways to rebuild our own production system."

Ulanov pointed to the hut where everyone was sitting: "The strong men are responsible for building the house, while the women are studying animals and plants. 'Drom' is copying species we are familiar with into this world, but for In line with the environment of this planet, many species have changed, and we need to re-understand it. In addition, I heard that the speed at which the blood pool releases the population will be limited recently, because the supplies cannot keep up, although the source blood will make the trees and crops mature rapidly, but it is still impossible to sustain 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 description of the current situation. He felt that this was all very valuable knowledge - a civilization started on a strange planet, and a group of people with nothing rebuilt society with limited support from Factorio. The way Drom and his autonomous machines interact with each other, and the ruins of the Tanagus civilization, are areas that are usually difficult to access.

Hao Ren felt that it was necessary for him to accumulate all the experience. After all, as a person who could explode wherever he went, he really didn't know when he would encounter a more evil mission...

At this moment, a small noise coming from the central square suddenly interrupted the conversation between Hao Ren and Ulanov.
