Chapter 251 Unimaginable
Chapter 251 Unimaginable
For a moment, I didn't know whether I should be surprised at the elves' thriftiness or their strong scientific research spirit.
It is equivalent to a group of people in a country where trains have just started to run, using waste materials from developed countries to build a high-speed railway with their bare hands.
They are geniuses, and a group of them who can concentrate on research and will not feel bored. Although they are resistant to change, once they start, they will not give up easily.
At this point the disadvantage becomes an advantage.
"You guys are awesome," Qi Shan said sincerely.
"?" A group of elves looked at him blankly. Even the Elf King didn't understand, but he thanked him sincerely: "Thank you for your compliment."
Just thank you anyway.
After seven years of study, Qi Shan was far ahead of other male insects, and at this moment, this hidden pride quietly dissipated.
Compared with this group of elves, he is still a little bit behind.
From zero to one is more difficult than from one to ten.
Without any conditions, they had to build the airship with their bare hands. Qi Shan thought they would just buy it with the money he gave.
Buying is much easier than creating.
Who knew that except for the first airship which was not built in time, all the other airships were built by themselves.
Just like he thought they would use the money to buy sports cars, but they ended up using a pile of iron sheets to build countless bicycles, which were much slower, but got the job done.
They are also still improving the bicycles, and it seems likely that they will be able to drive electric cars soon.
This is why five thousand star coins can build an airship station, Qi Shan sighed, it was Qi Ao who misunderstood, it was not his fantasy.
Qi Shan pointed to the building behind him and said, "This is where you will work in the future."
"Oh——!" the elves exclaimed.
"This building is all? It's so huge——"
"No" Qi Shan shook his head.
The elder kicked the elf who said this and said, "Don't talk nonsense, sir, please ignore him. We only need one floor, no, two rooms are enough."
Qi Shan: "It's not one building, it's three buildings, but they haven't been fully built yet. I need you to check and modify them. Can you do it?"
The elves suddenly fell silent, staring at Qi Shan speechlessly.
The Elf King responded: "No problem, we will definitely check carefully." He clenched his palms. Three buildings?!
The elves looked at Qi Shan with fiery eyes and were very determined.
Qi Shan nodded with satisfaction. As long as he found the right implementer, he would only need to pay the money, trust the employees, and then wait for the building to open smoothly as he expected.
"Sir, the elves don't need so many shops. Do we need to rent them out?"
Qi Shan: "Just watch it."
After arranging everything, Qi Shan wandered around, taking the two little ones everywhere, and promoting the new building that was about to open.
Qi Shan wanted to see the lives of the indigenous people. After all, he was now the nominal lord of Jinshi Star. The better the residents lived and the longer they lived, the more taxes they paid.
As for the restrictions on the star network, Qishan has not opened them for the time being. Now the level of Jinshi Star is too far behind that of the outside world. If it is opened rashly, the indigenous people will feel a strong sense of gap.
It’s easy to get into trouble, so it’s better to limit it before meeting basic living needs.
The two little guys promoting the new building are indigenous people themselves. Compared with Qi Shan, who has black hair, blue eyes, and white skin that does not look like an ordinary person at all, they can integrate better with the indigenous people.
Of course, everyone seemed to treat them as children, and what they said was more like fantasy, or perhaps the things they described were too unbelievable.
"What? A food that can fill your stomach and still contain a lot of water? Hahahaha——"
"I hate you, don't laugh so loudly, the little brat is angry."
The little bug said angrily: "I'm telling the truth."
The big man waved his hands and said, "Impossible, impossible. I have lived for more than thirty years and have never seen such food. Even if there is, it should be eaten by the big insects above. It has nothing to do with us."
An old alien came out with a cane: "I... heard it when I was very young. My grandfather said that a long, long time ago, we didn't have to wait for aliens to bring us food."
"Eh?" his daughter asked in surprise, "Dad, are you telling the truth? But without alien food, what would we eat?"
The old alien shook his head and said, "At that time, the ground will be full of endless water, and there will be a kind of meat that lives in the water. You don't have to spend a lot of money to buy water. Food will grow on the trees in front of your house, and it will be full of water when you take a bite--"
As he spoke, he looked into the distance with longing. When he was born, the earth was already like this. He had never seen the meat in the water that his grandfather talked about, nor did he know what the trees that his grandfather talked about looked like.
He had only seen endless deserts and endless gold and stones to be collected.
Listening to their father's stories about the past, the young people present drooled and couldn't help but start fantasizing.
"It would be nice if I could see it. It's all water when I take a bite. Even if I can't eat it, it's good to see it."
"How do I get all the water? Like low-grade water, do I have to unscrew it before I can drink it?"
The little guy danced excitedly: "No, its skin is very smooth and black, and there is meat inside, but it seems to be different from the meat eaten by high-level insects. It is full of water and the water drips out when you apply force."
The little bug added: "There is no sand."
This time, they listened quietly to the descriptions of the two little guys. Although it was difficult to imagine and they had no idea what the watery meat looked like, they wanted to listen, as if listening was like eating it.
A young worm wiped the corner of his mouth fiercely and said, "I won't listen anymore. I'm going to dig for gold and stone to exchange for a piece of meat."
"Yes, instead of imagining that the food is all water after one mouthful, it is better to collect two more baskets of gold and stone, and exchange them for more water and food."
"Besides, food that's all water must be expensive."
The little guy lowered his head in disappointment.
The elderly alien sat beside him, stroking the little guy's head with his scarred hands: "Don't be sad, it's not that they don't believe, it's just that life has exhausted all their energy."
The little guy looked at him: "Grandpa, what about you? Do you believe me?"
“I believe it.” The old alien nodded and said with longing: “When I was very young, I wanted to see such food. It would be great if I could see it before I die.”
The little guy grabbed his hand and said, "You will see it, you will definitely see it, right sir."
The old alien looked at the gentleman he was talking about. He noticed at the beginning that this man was wearing a hood, with skin that was frighteningly white, and the accessories on his body were so exquisite that they were not even seen on the big insects he had seen before.
He was a little worried that the little bug boy would anger the gentleman by shouting so loudly.
The gentleman did not ignore the little bug's expectation, but nodded: "You will see it in a few days."
After saying this, he took the two little ones away, but the old alien was slow to react. Will he see it when his life is about to come to an end?
He wanted to believe what the gentleman said. Although he didn't know the gentleman, he felt that what the gentleman said might be true.
"I can see~" The old alien leaned in the shadow of the tree and slowly closed his eyes, "It's great."
