Chapter 146 Take a DSLR and Travel to a Charming Foreign Capital

The time has finally entered May, and most of the projects in the immigrant settlements are proceeding according to the scheduled schedule.

As the basis of power supply, the construction progress of the thermal power plant located in the northwest of the original site of THAAD is the most concentrated. Not only manpower, but also most of the cement produced by the cement kiln that has been moved to the raw material site is also supplied here. .Considering the future construction of the dock and port, after the power generation problem is solved, Yunshen intends to find another merchant on Alibaba and order a whole small cement production line from them.

The numbers on the account began to decline again. Compared with last year's survival-based expenses, this year's machinery and instruments accounted for the bulk. The labor force of 7000 people should not be underestimated, but in the current environment, no matter how cheap labor is, it cannot replace efficiency.The people in charge of various projects are a little maladapted to this leap-forward development, but when they think of the long list of schedules given to them by the technicians, this maladaptation becomes a sense of urgency.

They'll get used to it anyway.

Yun Shen is in the military workshop today, and the apprentice technicians are going to make thunder mercury today. Although it is not the first time for them to do it, the risk of making thunder mercury is still not low.

All the windows in the workshop were wide open, and the breeze was blowing. Five apprentice mechanics stood in front of their respective workbenches, lowered their heads and carefully added one part of mercury into the long-necked bottle containing ten parts of nitric acid. Hold the glass rod in one hand and stir slowly, while the other side is very careful to heat it a little bit underneath, the mercury will gradually dissolve into the yellow nitric acid during this process, the solution will turn green, and at the same time, there will be reddish-brown poisonous gas Birth, so not only must there be sufficient distance between the various workbenches, but the ventilation of the room must also be in place.

The speed of this reaction will not be very fast, and the real possibility of danger is mainly in the second step. The mercury nitrate that has been heated to 55 degrees Celsius is added to the alcohol. When the reaction occurs, it will be quite violent. When it rises to more than 80 degrees, red toxic gas will also be produced, and it is flammable. After that, there will not be any problems in the work of filtering and washing.

The mechanic apprentices are now using modern industrial raw materials with high purity, and the reaction time and speed are within a controllable range, which is far incomparable to Yunshen's nitroglycerin production in early winter.Fan Tianlan later saw the relevant experiment and its dangers in a document. Although he didn't say anything at the time, he knocked off a piece of the table and asked the carpentry team to carry the abandoned table away. I was very surprised when I was there, and Yun Shen also enjoyed the company of the chilly breeze for a few days.

Glancing at his watch and estimating the time, Yun Shen stood up from his chair, and just as he walked out of the door, he saw a young Dororo who was in charge of patrolling running towards here.

"Sorcerer! We caught some strange things in the water!"

If it's just aquatic creatures with strange shapes, they don't need to come to Yunshen specially, Takla is very experienced in dealing with them.But this time, even Takla was surprised by the creatures caught outside the dock and in the inland river of the settlement.

"Should I say 'they' or 'they'?" Takla squatted by the water, looking up at Yun Shen and asked.

Two humanoid creatures lay pitifully lying on their stomachs in the shallow puddle surrounded by them. Looking at the upper body, they are not much different from ordinary humans. The long dark green hair like wet water grass hangs on the smooth shoulders, and the jaws are faintly visible in the hair. Cracked gills next to the bone, no eyebrows, the eyes may be the reason why the cornea is particularly hydrated, their eyes look like light brown vitreous body, with eyelids, but the nose is not very obvious, the lips are very thin, can be opened and closed Seeing the fine and sharp white teeth, at least when the mouth is closed, it looks like a passable human face, and because of those really big "watery" eyes, there is really a sense of innocence when looking at people.

The hands are long, with fins at the elbows and webs between the fingers. Starting from the waist, the skin that seems to be no different from that of a human has turned into smooth and flexible gray-blue fish skin, with smooth and powerful arcs extending to the flat on the caudal fin.The thick and strong tail is much longer than the upper body. Just by looking at it, one can imagine the power it possesses. If the tail was not entangled by fishing nets, and the two hands with sharp nails were also tied up, this puddle might Still can't trap them.

Because it is still the time when most people are working, there are not many people who come to watch, but the two creatures in the water that can only be called mermaids are still very scared.It was probably because many of the people around them were looking at the fat and strong fish tail, with a look of appetite on their faces.

Takla asked directly, "Is this edible?"

"This won't work." Yun Shen said, Takla showed a bored expression, and splashed the water on the two mermaids.Yun Shen turned his head and said a few words to the two young men beside him, and after they left, he motioned for others to untie the two mermaids, and then began to explain, "They are a kind of orc, and they are generally called ' Phil', who lives in water, has a friendly personality and is harmless to people."

"Harmless?" Takla said. Just at this time, the mermaid who saw the humans approaching showed a mouthful of fine teeth. The reservists who walked over paused for a moment, and then pressed them down unceremoniously. To tie their rope.The mermaid whined, and the tail of the fish entangled in the fishing net slapped the puddle and splashed a large amount of water, so several people went into the water.

Although struggling hard, the two mermaids calmed down a bit after discovering that these humans had no ill intentions towards them, and the reserve team could finally remove the nets from their tails.

"This world is rich in biological species, and mermaids are just one of them." Yun Shen said, "They generally live in the lower reaches of this big river near the mouth of the sea, which is quite far away. At this time of year, the mature individuals in their group They will go upstream to find mates and give birth to offspring in the lake where they originated, and then return to their hometown with their youngest in the autumn of the following year. Most of the races living along this river know their existence."

The people next to him showed surprised expressions, and someone asked, "Isn't it okay to find a partner in the place where I live? Why do I have to run so far?"

"The survival of every creature has their inevitable habits, which belong to their instincts and needs." Yun Shen said, the fishing net behind the mermaid was almost untied, and someone took a shovel to the other end of the cofferdam to dig the entrance .

Takla watched up and down very carefully for a while, "Then these two are men?"

"Uh, no." Yun Shen said.

The river water poured in through the gap, and the rising water level slowly submerged the beautiful long tail of the mermaid. After hearing Yun Shen's words, several young men who were not yet young turned their faces away. Tucker stretched his fingers and pointed at them. With a flat chest, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Yun Shen: "You said these two are women?"

"No." Yun Shen said, recalling what the pharmacist had told him about the relevant knowledge, "Mermaids are all hermaphrodites before they reach maturity, and they will determine their gender based on their partners soon after."

"That's convenient enough," Takla said.

The mermaids who were freed from all restraints began to move out of the cofferdam. This was originally the shoal at the junction of two rivers. It was not difficult for them to get back into the river.The waves on the river in the distance were churning, and with the successive splashes, green heads popped out of the waves one after another, with the same brown round pupils fixedly staring at the humans on the river beach.At least two to three hundred mermaids appeared on the water, and the scene was spectacular.

Someone involuntarily scratched his arm, which was a bit creepy to watch.

The two mermaids had already returned to the shallow water, and several mermaids who appeared to be physically stronger swam over and dragged them back to the deep water with their hands.The people Yun Shen ordered ran over with bundles of vegetables, and Fan Tianlan also came over at the same time.Under Yun Shen's signal, those people threw them vigorously into the water, and Fan Tianlan walked to Yun Shen's side.

The freshly picked vegetables fell into the water and then sank. The mermaids hesitated for a moment, and Yun Shen gestured to them from the shore, so the three mermaids dived into the water and caught the food back.A mermaid broke off a vegetable leaf and tried to eat it. After a while, he found that there was nothing wrong with it, and turned back to his companions to be frustrated. A group of mermaids gathered and divided them up.

The strongest of the mermaids swam to the shore, pointed at Yun Shen, and waved Fan Tianlan to stay behind. Yun Shen walked towards the leader of the mermaid, squatted down by the water and talked with him for a while using hand gestures.

Takla watched them gesticulating, and asked Fan Tianlan, "What are they talking about?"

"They want more food."

"Aren't there grass and fish in the water?"

"They are orcs, not pure water animals, and they don't eat aquatic plants." Fan Tianlan said, "The process of migrating from the sea to the inland is long, and eating only fish will cause them to suffer from toxemia. Since they can't leave the water for too long , they need humans on land to provide them with food such as vegetables or fruits.”

While Takla and Fan Tianlan were talking, Yun Shen had finished talking with the leader of the mermaid. After reaching out to give the leader a high five, he got up and walked back.

"Tata, go and inform Nanshan Patriarch, please ask him to help me prepare enough vegetables for the mermaids."

"Give them away for nothing?" Takla asked.

"Of course not." Yun Shen smiled at him, "I asked them to do something for me."

Outside the Sasheer tribe, Ska in military uniform looked at the huge water flow in front of him in an unhappy mood.To go to the imperial capital, the big river was an obstacle they had to cross. That's why they had to wait until May, when the migratory Phil family passed the river in groups before asking them to build a pontoon bridge.

This year's Fir people came a little later than expected, not because of the season, but because they stayed in the territory of the Far East magician for two days.Then the Far Eastern Artisan paid for the bridge building. Although he said it was for his own caravan, but looking at the densely packed heads of aquatic plants on the water, Sahel and Sahir's team was also brought along by the way.

"Isn't that great, and it saves you the effort of planing wild vegetables all over the grassland." Bingshanxiu Moore, who was not in the tribe some time ago, said next to Ska, "What do you mind?"

Scar ignored him.However, the appearance of Xiu Moore suddenly made him realize one thing, where did the pharmacist who was supposed to be standing beside him go?

The pharmacist is in the caravan of the bereaved.

He stood beside a bereaved young man, raised his head slightly and concentrated on what he was looking at, and didn't even notice that Scar came to his side.The young man of the bereaved family held a black cylinder with grid-like lines protruding from the front end, and some words were printed on the black lacquer. The material and shape of the whole object could tell the style of a Far Eastern magician.Scar's shadow covered him, and the survivor turned his head to look at him, but his hands remained motionless.

"What are you looking at?" Scar asked the pharmacist.

"I'm looking at this." The pharmacist said, "The magician wants them to record the more interesting things during this journey, and hand them over to him after they return."

"How to record?"

The silent youth of the bereaved family operated the Canon 650D a few times and handed the camera to the pharmacist, and the picture taken just now was replayed on the small screen.Scar squinted his eyes and looked at the moving green algae on it, then raised his head to look at the mermaids swimming around in the river not far away on top of the boards and branches, then he grabbed the pharmacist's wrist and shook it. After shaking, the pharmacist quickly grasped the camera steadily, and then the picture moved, but the reality did not.

Finally he said: "How many people can see clearly at such a small age?"

"It's different to watch it on other tools." The silent survivor spoke.

"Where's the tool?" Scar asked.

So the warrior captain who was about to set off but didn't see the patriarch had to find Xiu Moore who was watching the busy mermaid by the river with his arms folded.

"Did that kid do it on purpose?" But he is one of the leaders who have already been determined, but looking at Braland who is leaning on a big sword and grilling fish more leisurely than before, Xiu Moore can only go to the one who is getting ready. team.
