Chapter 276
Qi Heng took Chu Xiu and Qi Xi for about ten minutes before they saw the female insect. Because this residential area was planned relatively late, there were still insects living there.
The early vacancy of some areas planned for demolition and reconstruction did not affect the lives of the Zerg.
Previously, Huijin and Wujin recruited female insects to leave Tianyun Star. With the delivery of the first two batches of supplies, a large number of female insects left.
In addition, there are female insects recruited to the construction team and arranged to stay on site, so there are many empty houses that can be moved out and used as simple resettlement houses with some scheduling arrangements.
This situation will not last long, as the construction team responsible for the construction of Tianyun Star is still expanding.
They are recruiting people while demolishing and rebuilding, and as more materials, manpower and machinery arrive, resettlement areas will soon be completed one after another like mushrooms after rain.
While distributing according to needs, we must also take into account the resettlement of ordinary Zerg. It’s not that Qi Heng is generous enough to provide the Zerg in the gathering area with suitable housing, but the existing shacks are really not habitable.
Since it was planned from the beginning, as long as there are sufficient resources, we must solve the current problems of food, clothing, housing and transportation of the Tianjia Zerg. Otherwise, how can we let them focus on other things?
According to the system's calculations, even if the Star Alliance kept a portion of the Tianjia Zerg in the Lost Star Zone, the total number would only fluctuate between 40 and 50 million.
This is still based on the Tianyun Star as a model.
If we remove the old and young ones, the number of Zerg in their young and middle-aged stages will be even smaller.
...Even if we count the adult Zerg outside the Lost Star Zone, considering the pitifully shortened lifespan of the Tianjia Zerg, at most there will be a few tens of thousands of them, not much more.
The number of tens of millions does not sound small, at least there is no problem with the continuation of the race.
But for an interstellar civilization, tens of millions of people are too few. Even if machines can be used to replace them, it is still not enough to promote the development of civilization and planet construction.
In the interstellar age, any civilization capable of conducting primary interstellar colonization has a population of over 10 billion.
With a population smaller than this, there wouldn't even be enough to allocate a portion of the population to develop and build new planets.
Therefore, Qi Heng could only find a way to solve the life problems of the existing Zerg and the ones that would inevitably arrive in the future, so that they could transfer their energy to the areas he needed.
Instead of living under the surveillance of other civilizations as in the past, struggling every day to have enough food and clothing, and working hard all day long.
Their appearance attracted the attention of some female insects, but most of them just took a few glances and didn't stare at them.
It was the first time that Qi Xi saw so many people of the same tribe. He held their hands and looked back at them with curiosity.
Chu Xiu was quiet all the way and didn't say much.
"Is it hard to accept?" Qi Heng said.
"Huh?" Chu Xiu was stunned for a moment and shook his head, "I'm mentally prepared."
He sighed softly and said somewhat helplessly, "Although we have put a lot of effort into improving everyone's lives, the time is too short and the results are minimal. Making this place better is not something that can be achieved overnight."
"I understand."
"Tell me what you're thinking about." How could Qi Heng not see that Chu Xiu had something on his mind.
Chu Xiu always answered every question he asked.
"I just thought of my fellow races on other planets."
"Tianyun Star has gray fog to help improve the environment, but they don't have it, so I'm afraid their lives won't be much better."
Chu Xiu smiled bitterly, "I don't know when we will have the energy to reach out beyond Tianyun Star."
"It won't be long."
"Remember what I said before? Once everything is arranged on Tianyun Star, I will leave Tianyun Star and go to other planets."
"By then, I'll find a way to get them out of the surveillance environment. If possible, it would be a good idea to consider bringing them to Tianyun Star later."
That being said, it is impossible to achieve this goal in the short term.
They were chatting in low voices, and the ignored Qi Xi's attention was all attracted by the female insect next to him.
To be precise, it is on the female insects that sit at the doorstep, holding some small items in their hands.
"Father, what are they doing?"
Qi Heng glanced at it and said calmly, "Handiwork."
Chu Xiu replied: "It's an electronic component that needs to be assembled."
"What is it for?" Qi Xi blinked.
Chu Xiu was stumped by the question. It wasn't that he didn't know how to explain it, but he just didn't know how to explain this question to a cub.
Qi Heng patted Qi Xi on the head and said, "You don't need to understand so much. Just know that this is their job."
"Like a female father's job?"
Of course Qi Xi knew what work was.
What makes the female father very busy and has no time to accompany him is work.
Similarly, you can earn wages from work and use them to buy delicious food.
"Yeah, it's all the same."
Qi Heng answered, and in his heart he affirmed Lan Yi's work efficiency.
The harsh winter season has only just ended.
It is not an easy task to teach female insects how to assemble these odd jobs in such a short time, so that female insects who stay at home and cannot go out or find a job can earn money.
This level of assembly process can certainly be replaced by a production line, but at this stage they do not need a high production capacity, and they need to provide a number of jobs for the Zerg.
The handicraft work of assembling small accessories at home is perfect for female insects who have not received any literacy training, need to take care of their young, and have weak physical fitness.
This is also a way of teaching people to fish.
Qi Heng thought that the plan could only be launched after 90% of the literacy training was completed. Only then would he really not let go of any Zerg with working ability. With the powerful computing power of the system, all female Zergs could be arranged to suitable positions.
After all the Zergs are in action, the construction progress of the entire Tianyun Star will advance at an extremely fast speed. By then, the word "rapidly changing with each passing day" will not be enough to describe the rapid changes in the gathering place.
Yan Ning's home was not too far from the subway entrance, and they soon arrived there.
"We're here."
Qi Heng had lived here for a while, and the female insects around him still remembered him, but Chu Xiu and Qi Xi next to him were very unfamiliar to them.
Especially Chu Xiu, his silver-white hair is as eye-catching as Qi Heng's black hair, both of which are rare hair colors.
When they arrived, Yan Ning just came out of the house.
When she saw them, Yan Ning smiled: "I was wondering when you would arrive, but I didn't expect it to be so soon."
"Uncle Yan Ning." Qi Xi greeted with a smile, "Where's Lele? I came to play with him."
"Inside the house."
Qi Xi let go of their hands and said, "Then I'll go find him."
In the yard outside the house, Qi Heng and Chu Xiu sat down, and Yan Ning put the wicker frame aside.
"I'll get you some water."
Qi Heng didn't stop her. Given how familiar they were with Yan Ning, there was no need to be polite.
He saw Chu Xiu looking around and remembered that he had just come to get it.
"When I first arrived at Tianyun Star, it was thanks to Yan Ning that she took me in." Several months have passed, but thinking about it now, it seems like it happened just yesterday.
I thought about the night when I was inexplicably dragged through time by the system, and the scene of seeing Yan Ning at the Dead Egg Pit.
"I know, you said that before."
After introducing Yan Ning earlier, he had a private chat with Chu Xiu, and Chu Xiu was aware of this matter.
Chu Xiu seemed to have thought of something and said to him, "You must be very uncomfortable."
"There was some in the beginning, but then it just stayed that way."
At first, he couldn't get used to it at all, his living standard plummeted, and all the discomforts almost caused him to die.
But human adaptability is very strong. What fails to destroy him will eventually become his experience in facing a bleak life.
With the help of the system and a body that was much stronger than when he was a pure human, he was actually living a pretty good life.
Compared to himself, these Zerg living in the gathering place are really disgusting.
Chu Xiu didn't know about his psychological changes, so naturally he didn't know that he had no intention of listening to the system at the beginning and helping the Tianjia Zerg rebuild and revive civilization.
From what he had done, they all thought that he came to Tianyun Star just to help them.
This made Qi Heng feel guilty for a while. After all, he could be said to be the culprit who directly and indirectly caused the tragic end of the Tianjia civilization.
——The hatred against the Tianjia civilization was basically instigated by him.
——Disappeared so suddenly, without giving the Tianjia civilization any preparation.
——The reason why they were leaderless and the entire race went crazy in search of the "master" was also due to the problems he left behind.
No matter what, it has something to do with him.
Yan Ning quickly poured the water back.
Qi Heng didn't say anything else.
"Brother Qi, are you here for something? Do you need my help?"
Yan Ning interacted with them frequently and knew that they had a lot of things to do.
Putting aside other things, just seeing that Lan Yi and the others are often so busy that you can't see them anywhere, you can tell how busy they are with their work.
As far as Yan Ning knew, Qi Heng had no less to do than they did.
"Nothing, I just haven't been here for a long time, so I came to take a look and bring Qi Xi here to introduce him to the place."
Qi Heng took a sip of water and said with a smile, "We plan to send Qi Xi here to receive education later."
"He's not a kid anymore. He can't just play at home all the time."
"Chu Xiu and I will be very busy from now on and may not be able to take care of Qi Xi. If possible, we would like to leave Qi Xi with you."
"This way it's closer to his school, and you can keep an eye on him."
As he spoke, he saw Chu Xiu looking over, with a puzzled look between his brows.
This was normal, because before coming, he had not mentioned to Chu Xiu that he wanted to deposit Qi Xi, no, to board him at Yan Ning's place.
However, Qi Heng also knew that although Chu Xiu was confused, he would not interrupt him.
Nor will they reject their own proposals.
It's not just because it's my own arrangement.
There was also the reason why Chu Xiu himself knew that he really didn't have time in the future and couldn't keep Qi Xi by his side all the time like he did now.
——It is urgent to find a new guardian insect for the cub.
In this case, among the female insects they know and trust, Yan Ning with Yan Le is their best choice.
"Xizi, do you want to go to school too?"
Schools are being built in all districts, and children aged five and above can directly enroll in kindergarten.
Yan Le is not old enough, but Yan Ning has heard about the relevant situation from other female insects whose cubs are old enough to go to school.
"Of course you can live with me. Just leave it to me." Yan Ning said with a smile, "Lele will be very happy to have Xizai here."
