Alien Hotel.

Chapter 412: The manpower problem has been solved!
It has to be said, anyway, after Irene's analysis, Yu Sheng indeed discovered that among all the special materials used to manufacture mass-produced dolls, his own blood seems to be the least valuable one. At most, it requires some time cost - that is, it takes about thirty minutes to "produce" one round.

But the good news is that he doesn't seem to have to worry about the mass production of Irene for the time being - although there is a natural bottleneck in this production, Yu Sheng thinks that he should not need to form an army of hundreds of thousands of puppets in a short period of time...

Just save up slowly.

When the third mass-produced doll sat up from the alchemy platform, Yu Sheng discovered that in the entire soul infusion ceremony, even the final step of "giving a name" could be completed by the mass-produced machine in charge of the operation.

When the two mass-produced dolls somewhat clumsily shaped the bodies of the "new sisters" and imitated Yu Sheng's previous operations, stammering out the name "Erin" on the alchemy table, the cold mass of mud and metal suddenly came to life - Yu Sheng didn't even react at the time, and he saw that the rough body was quickly covered with a layer of blood, and the "blood" and "spirit" parts of the mud merged into vitality in the blink of an eye, causing the new doll to open its eyes.

"...Is this possible?" Yu Sheng was somewhat surprised to see two mass-produced puppets supporting the "sisters" who had just awakened and walked down from the alchemy table. He also watched as the new puppet learned the experience of the other puppets through the connection between the machine souls in an instant, and trotted to another platform to prepare to manufacture the next mass-produced machine. He was completely confused, "So the step of 'giving a name' does not require human participation?"

This time, even Irene herself was confused: "I don't know either... I never thought of the operation of 'using puppets to make puppets' before! Isn't this the same as you, who are also groping in the dark?"

"Maybe it's because every mass-produced doll has my 'blood', so they can also 'give names' to other new dolls?" Yu Sheng frowned, and his thoughts immediately became flexible, "Or is this some kind of resonance? Or... because all mass-produced dolls are connected to each other, as long as the first one is given a name?"

"I think it must have something to do with your weird 'blood'," Irene thought seriously for a while, looking at Yu Sheng's eyes seriously, "After all, even such a large spaceship was brought back because of your blood."

Yu Sheng did not comment, but just looked thoughtfully at the "Erins" running around between the alchemy platforms and the blood in the small cups in their hands, and did not speak for a long time.

After a long while, he suddenly said, "I think I should save more."

Irene didn't react for a moment: "Save more of what?"

"Blood," Yu Sheng said casually, "Anyway, this thing can regenerate, and now it has a new use, so the normal usage will obviously increase. I think we can release some of it when we are free and store it. Anyway, as long as the person is not killed on the spot, the blood will not disappear... Otherwise, it would be a waste to keep it flowing in the body."

Irene was stunned. After a long while, she suddenly shouted, "What you said is even more ridiculous than what I just said!"

"Nonsense, how can what I said be the same as what you said?" Yu Sheng immediately glared at the little doll, "Besides, the moment you opened your mouth, you wanted to let me die. I'm still trying to survive..."

Irene was stunned for a moment and blinked her eyes: "Is this how you use the word 'living in misery'?"

"Of course. I am a writer after all, so I choose words very precisely."

"Yes, really?"

Hu Li just stood by and watched Yu Sheng fooling Irene without saying a word. He just focused on boiling molten iron and pouring it on the skeleton parts.

And the mass-produced dolls began to multiply - from one to two, two to four, four to a group...

A large group of Gothic dolls in black skirts, black hair and red eyes were running around in the huge alchemy laboratory, busily making more dolls and awakening more sisters - they would continue to execute this instruction until this round of raw materials was exhausted.

Yu Sheng found a place where he would not get in the way and sat down, looking at the scene of a large group of Irenes running around in the laboratory with an amazed and subtle expression.

He was startled for a moment in a trance, and accidentally recalled the nightmare scene he had imagined before - hundreds of Irenes were scurrying around him, crawling all over the ground, squeaking, jumping up and down, making a lot of noise...

But he quickly shook his head and put aside this bad association.

The scene of hundreds of Irenes crawling all over the ground seemed to be coming true soon, but these mass-produced Irenes were much "quieter" than he had imagined.

Most of the time, they will just carry out orders obediently. Even if they encounter a situation where the task cannot be carried out temporarily, they will only communicate briefly (and others cannot understand how they communicate), and then find a place where they will not be in the way and wait for orders. In addition, these mass-produced dolls rarely speak - even though they do have this "function".

Looking at these quiet yet busy little guys, Yu Sheng even felt a little uncomfortable, especially when Irene, who had the same face, was laughing and chattering beside him, the sense of disharmony was even stronger. Hu Li had already finished casting the last batch of skeleton parts. She walked over with the green smoke on her tail blowing, and looked at Yu Sheng and Irene curiously: "Benefactor, we made so many mass-produced dolls... What do we let them do when they are not fighting?"

"That's very useful. We are short of manpower everywhere in our 'base camp'," Yu Sheng laughed when he heard this. He had obviously planned for this long ago. "Daily maintenance at the star port, taking care of children in the town, cleaning the hub, and many facilities built by the Secret Service all need manpower.

“Now these places are basically managed by the Secret Service, but that is a favor after all, and we can’t go on like this forever.

"I originally wanted to wait for Tonghua to expand and have them send people to take over some of the facilities in the valley, but then I thought about it and there was a suspicion of employing child labor. Now, once the mass-produced dolls come out, half of the problem can be solved."

As soon as Yu Sheng finished speaking, Irene started to complain: "So you can't hire child labor, so you let me do all the work? My mass-produced machine is only 66 centimeters! I'm more than half shorter than those naughty kids!!"

"You are now emphasizing that you are only 66 cm tall, right?" Yu Sheng was amused when he heard this and poked the doll. "Who said that this valley was all our property? We were so excited about this that we ran around the house and sat on the bed in the middle of the night laughing foolishly. Since it is our property, is there any problem with taking care of it ourselves?"

Irene: “That brings me back to the point…”

Hu Li was a little worried after hearing Yu Sheng's words: "Can mass-produced dolls really do these things well? Simple tasks are fine, but if they are asked to maintain large equipment... I suspect they will fall into the machine..."

As she spoke, she turned around and glanced at the little guys who were running around between the alchemy platforms and bumping into each other from time to time, and her brows subconsciously frowned.

“I always feel like they’re stupid.”

"The machine souls will grow," Yu Sheng was very confident about the mass-produced dolls. "Don't you see that they are much more flexible now than at the beginning? Moreover, these dolls can share knowledge and experience, and understand basic cooperation and learning. Anyway, I am very optimistic about their growth. Besides, I won't give them any really complicated work."

Hu Li thought about it, and his big furry ears trembled: "That's not bad."

"Okay, don't worry about these things. After all, they will be able to handle the daily cleaning of the hub in the future," Yu Sheng waved his hand cheerfully and stood up from the alchemy table. "We have been busy in here for a long time. Let's take some of the mass-produced dolls out for some fresh air and say hello to the others. Irene, you make the arrangements. Half of them will stay here to continue rubbing the mass-produced machines, and the other half will go out."

"Hey!"

Thirty minutes later, Rapunzel sat on a rooftop in the fairytale town, staring in amazement at Yu Sheng, leading a group of a dozen Irenes along the way.

A long line of mass-produced dolls were neatly lined up, following Irene (Rebar), who served as the "host", without looking away. In every sense, they were exactly printed from the same mold. Not to mention Rapunzel, even Little Red Riding Hood, who was always very mature and steady, was taken aback when she saw this scene.

"Hey... Hey! Red Riding Hood! Did you see that? Irene has added more... A bunch of them have added all at once! Holy shit!" Rapunzel almost rolled down from the roof and ran to Little Red Riding Hood, yelling, "What's going on?"

"I don't know," Little Red Riding Hood was also confused at this time, "I thought I was dizzy because I practiced too many driving test questions..."

While the two were talking, Yu Sheng had already walked over along the street with the group of Irene. Little Red Riding Hood immediately came over to greet them, and then she stared at the dozen or so dolls in front of her without saying a word. She was silent for half a minute before she spoke: "...Did your hands slip and rub too much?"

"Is there anyone so slippery?" Yu Sheng smiled and raised his hand to introduce, "Let me introduce you, these are Irene-mass production type..."

little Red Riding Hood:"……"

The girl in red looked at Yu Sheng in a daze, then looked at Irene - the only one in the team with highlights in her eyes, who was obviously a "host" - after a long while she blurted out: "No, what are you guys thinking?!"

"It's not okay for your imagination to be lagging behind at such a young age," Yu Sheng suddenly laughed and explained to the other party casually, "Just think of it as a new technology developed by the hotel - didn't you say before that the power station was short of staff? This group is assigned to look after the generator. I'll teach you how to communicate with them later. There will be another group coming out of the hub pyramid later, and they will be sent to the star port and the Black Forest logging camp. In addition, there should be 'Erin' coming out of the hub every now and then in the future. If you see any of them lost or running around the town, take them to the 'castle' to gather. After all, these mass-produced dolls have not been tested too much, and they may be unstable."

Little Red Riding Hood: “…Ah?”
