Chapter 104

One-horned man: "..."

"Once you register, you can't go back on your word. Are you sure?" the unicorn asked again. If the male insect went back on his word, he would be in trouble.

"I'm sure! Sign me up!" Lin's determined look, fearing rejection, left the unicorn speechless.

"As long as you've made up your mind." The one-horned man picked up the registration form next to him, quickly signed Lin's name on it, and then said, "Okay, give me your ID card."

Rin took off her ID card and handed it over.

The one-horned man pressed his ID card into the red mud and then stuck it behind his name on the paper, and a string of numbers was printed on it.

"Report here the day after tomorrow morning. If you don't come, you'll lose points." Handing him his ID card, the one-horned man said, "But even if you want to change your mind, it's too late now."

"I understand. I won't regret it." Lin put the ID card back on his wrist and was about to leave the trading area.

The noise he made just now attracted the attention of many Zergs around. Now he has become the center of the entire trading area, so it would be better for him to leave first.

Out of the central trading area.

The smile on Rin's face faded, and a hint of distress emerged. Although the registration issue was resolved, he had not forgotten that his father was still unconscious at home.

Um, let me correct myself - it was my father who was knocked unconscious by me.

He smiled bitterly and thought about going back later. He didn't know how to explain to his dear father why he had killed someone.

Will my father understand me? I think he will...right?

——No matter what, I am his only male son, and he is still a minor, so my crime does not deserve the death penalty.

As it turned out, he had wishful thinking.

"Lin, you are so brave! You even dare to hit Xiong's father!" Ying, who was massaging his shoulders and neck, said angrily.

Lin knelt in the middle of the room, pinching his earlobes with both hands, lowering his head to listen to the lecture with a cowardly look.

"I'm sorry, Father Xiong. I won't dare to do it again next time."

"What—" Ying almost lost his breath when he heard this. "Next time? Well, do you dare to have a next time?!"

"No, no, no, I mean there won't be a next time." Lin shuddered and quickly changed his words.

Even though he was fearless like other male insects outside, he was really afraid of his male father's whining. Although his male father would not beat him, his nagging and confinement were also very scary.

Lin's sincere look of repentance did not convince Ying, after all, he looked like this every time he got into trouble.

"Think about what you did this time. I am your father. How could you hit me?" The key point is that he did not hesitate at all. What an unfilial son!

But what can Ying do? He still has to discipline his own son himself.

Lin didn't dare to speak, but she felt relieved. Fortunately, her father didn't ask her why she went out, otherwise she really didn't know what to say.

Ying, a male insect, spent thirty-nine falling star days on Tianyun Star.

He is Rin's father.

Just by looking at their appearance, you can tell that Lin looks very similar to his male father. They both have black hair that reaches their shoulders. The only difference is their eye color. One is an almost bright red, and the other is a transparent and pure light blue.

Perhaps because they had never suffered, even though Ying was Lin's father, he looked quite young. They were more like brothers than father and son. The only difference was that Ying looked like an older brother, while the other looked like a young man still in his youth.

"Tell me, what did you do after you knocked me out?" Ying put down his hand and stared at him sharply.

cold:"……"

It's over.

If Xiong's father knew that I had signed up, I would be doomed.

Ying didn't give him time to think and said directly: "Tell me, you didn't do anything I don't allow."

Lin pursed his lips, and under the gaze of his father, he gritted his teeth and decided to fight.

"Father Xiong, I'm serious." Lin put down the hand that was pinching her earlobe, straightened her back that was bent due to the lecture, looked up at Father Xiong, and said, "You know very well how hard this opportunity is to come by. If you miss it, there may not be another chance."

Of course there will be a next time. The Doctor and Sano said that this mission will continue until all the Zerg in the entire No. 1 gathering place have received basic education.

But this definitely cannot be told to Xiong's father.

"They have been restricting us, haven't they?" Lin stiffened his neck and decided that he must convince Xiong's father no matter what, even if he got beaten by Xiong.

In Cluster 1, just like in Cluster 2, males and females are treated differently. First, they are effectively isolated, creating a height difference between them, and then treated differently, resulting in a significant information gap between them.

The male insects know some information about the unicorns, or even if they know it, they pretend not to know it.

...After all, sometimes knowing more is not necessarily a good thing.

"You--" Ying felt like he was going to be pissed to death by Lin.

He wanted to curse, but seeing the dead look on his Xiongzi's face, which looked as if he was not afraid of boiling water and that nothing he said would make him happy, he knew that it was useless.

It has to be said that Rin looks just like his female father... But he would rather Rin was really stupid and not so smart.

"I can't control you anymore." Ying said expressionlessly.

"You'll be an adult in a few days anyway, so do whatever you want."

Rin blinked, surprised.

Did Xiong's father give in? He hadn't even said what he was going to say, and he agreed? This was too unbelievable.

Ying saw the confusion on his face and said unhappily, "Even if I told you not to go, it's too late now."

"Hehe." Lin scratched his head and said, "It's too late. I've already signed up."

"Father Xiong, do you want to go with us? You can't read either," Lin suggested.

Veins popped up on Ying's forehead and he raised his hand as if to strike.

"--roll."

At the same time.

Outside Gathering Place No. 2, deep below the wilderness.

"I'm going crazy. This is different from what I said at the beginning." Lei sat down on the dug-out platform, covering his face with a stack of paper in his hand.

Over twenty meters away, a group of insects were digging for ore. After the surface of the excavated ore was gnawed clean, it was carried to the side of a nearby devourer. The devourer then swallowed it and chewed it, finally spitting out the part with the highest metal content.

This underground space was newly excavated in the past few days, and there is only one freshly dug spiral staircase for entry and exit.

A self-luminous plant was planted on the fairly flat 'ceiling' above their heads, and along with the plant was a group of thumb-sized glowworms.

Lei opened a bottle of nutrient solution and poured it into his mouth viciously. He was a human being with normal physiological needs, unlike these insects that did not need to eat, drink, defecate or urinate.

Recalling the memory of digging holes and burying shit in the wild these past two days, Lei couldn't help but shed a tear of sympathy for himself.

"It looks like you're doing well." A voice came from the spiral staircase.

Isn't this voice the voice of the bastard who tricked me into coming here??!

Lei shuddered and stood up. In his excitement, he completely forgot to treat his new boss with respect.

"Bullshit! How do I look like I'm having a good life? Are you..." Are you blind? When he was about to blurt out the second half of the sentence, he saw the face of the person who came and swallowed it subconsciously.

The person who came was Qi Heng.

As Lei sent messages every hour using the blue-tailed butterfly, with each message becoming more and more broken, he decided to come and take a look, lest the chosen tool go crazy before fulfilling his duties.

"I think it went very well."

The main mining activity here is iron ore. Currently, there are two hundred mining worms working on it. The excavated ore is roughly purified by the devourers and then piled aside.

——The Devourer’s stomach can digest some of the magazines, and what is vomited out will be purer than what is swallowed.

Of course, these ores need to be further smelted and processed if they are to be used.

"There's nothing here, not even the most basic equipment, let alone advanced equipment for smelting ores and purifying metals."

"To put it another way, we first need some furnaces to melt some iron and build the furnaces... Those technologies are too primitive, I haven't learned them." Lei was so aggrieved that he was about to cry.

"Also, many of the metals you requested are common alloys used in construction, weapons, and mechas. Even without me explaining the required technology, you already know it's impossible to obtain it in such a place..."

Qi Heng listened to him pour out all his complaints, and then answered the questions he raised.

"I know all that."

"You know everything, then you..." Lei felt a lump in his heart because he hadn't said it earlier.

"So, didn't I ask 'Ghost' to send you reference materials?" Qi Heng said in a relaxed tone.

“…”

Lai Yi has dead fish eyes, do you listen to what people say?

"Didn't you see it?"

"...I read it." Could I say I only read the beginning and the table of contents and then closed it? Of course not.

Iron smelting and furnace construction use coal as energy, which is such an ancient technology. According to the history of Ikar civilization, this technology was eliminated a thousand years ago.

"I believe you." Qi Heng patted Lei's shoulder.

"Thank you, but I don't trust myself."

Seeing Lai Yi's hopeless look, Qi Heng looked in one direction and said, "Don't say that. Haven't we assigned helpers to you? With their help, I believe you will have a much easier time."

"If you're talking about those pieces of scrap metal... most of them can't do heavy work, and a small part of them can't do delicate work." Lei began to get into the mood. Since he couldn't refuse with tears, he could only accept with tears.

"According to your arrangement, several mining areas will start working at the same time, but the actual construction needs to be done before the ore you need is deducted."

Lei glanced at the ore piled nearby and said, "It's estimated that it will take another week before the actual work begins."

"You don't have to tell me this, I've considered it."

"So I didn't ask you to put the metal smelting production line into operation within a month. I just asked you to first look through the information I sent you and build a rough production line."

Qi Heng smiled and said, "After all, we don't plan to redevelop technology on Tianyun Star. Simple iron smelting is just a transition."

Lei thought about the information he had read. Those technologies were actually not very advanced. Any first-level civilization, even those still on their home planet, could come up with them.

But he felt that there was something else the 'doctor' said. Could it be that they had the technology of an advanced civilization... You know, technology above level five civilization is not allowed to be bought and sold privately, and the highest technology circulating in the starry sky is only at the peak level of level four civilization.
