Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 273 Shu Huan Gong surrenders

Zhou Yi looked at the sea lord in front of him and said, "I have heard of your name for a long time. The wood from the tree monster territory is very good. We finally meet him."

"Mr. Zhou is too polite."

The other party was a little reserved: "Compared to the Wasteland Development Company, our place is just a remote and poor place."

The tree cat is a large black cat with green eyes. It is nearly 3 meters long, has a majestic posture, and walks silently.

Hong Jian said that it was a kind of light nano-species called Shadow Cat, which could disguise itself as a shadow and follow its target.

Shadowcat is a natural lurker and assassin.

Behind the tree herder were several otter followers, carrying several wooden boxes.

"This is a [Giant Clawed Otter]."

The Red Kestrel said in the same frequency of consciousness: "Their claws are large and powerful, and they are good at building dams, doing water conservancy projects and renovations. The tree monster territory is rich in water resources, and they have a lot of room to play."

Zhou Yi listened in his heart and said with a smile: "I just baked some cakes here, would you like to try some, Mr. Shu Huan?"

The other party looked embarrassed.

But Shu Huan Gong still gritted his teeth and forced a smile, saying: "Then I'd rather obey your command than be respectful."

Zhou Yi handed it the hot scallion pancake.

The tree keeper opened his mouth and took it in. He chewed it twice and then swallowed it with difficulty: "Very good food."

At this time, Zhou Yi suddenly thought, maybe cats don’t eat biscuits?

Kestrel reminded: "Shadow Cat is a carnivore. Zhou, it is very considerate."

mine.

Zhou Yi pondered in his heart.

Wouldn't the other party think that this is a test of his obedience?

So he said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know you don't eat this kind of food. We make it with flour..."

The tree keeper's eyes indeed became clear, his expression became much more relaxed, and he no longer tucked his thick paws into his chest.

"Mr. Zhou's kind invitation, I also want to try something new."

Misunderstanding resolved.

It said: "The main purpose of this visit is to meet with Mr. Zhou and hope to cooperate with him."

Zhou Yi nodded: "The wood from the Tree Monster Territory is of very good quality. Our company likes it very much. We will continue to buy a lot in the future."

Mr. Shuhuan turned his head to look at his followers behind him and said, "Present the gifts."

"Yes."

The otters came forward carrying two boxes.

The tree herder stretched out his broad front paws and opened the first wooden box.

There is a small mushroom inside.

They have slender stems and thin caps, and are a very ordinary grayish white in color, but they glow.

Zhou Yi ordered the Emerald City to turn off the lights.

The room was immediately shrouded in darkness.

The brightness of the mushroom in front of me suddenly increased, emitting a bright yellow light, and its lighting ability was no worse than that of the diamond stone.

The room was brightly lit again.

The tree keeper then said, "Mr. Zhou, this is a specialty of our Tree Monster Territory, the yellow glow-worm mushroom. It emits yellow fluorescence and is very light, lighter than a diamond stone and more convenient than a firefly stick."

"In the Tree Monster Territory, it is mainly used for lighting. It is not only easy to plant and grow fast, but also edible. As long as it is wrapped in soil and given a little water, it will glow."

"I am willing to donate the fluorescent mushrooms and their cultivation methods to your company."

Zhou Yi did not respond.

Shu Huan Gong came over to give gifts, and it seemed that he had something to ask of me.

I don’t know what it is yet.

He planned to hold back for now.

Mr. Shu opened the second box next to him and said, "I heard that Mr. Zhou likes food very much. In fact, I have also been studying this aspect."

"This is the fish adopted by our tree monster. Please take a look."

The box was filled with ice, on which were placed two kinds of fish, one large and one small.

The big fish seemed to weigh about 5 kilograms, and there were two of them. The small fish were 7-10 centimeters long, and there were more than a dozen of them. They all looked very fresh.

Zhou Yi became interested: "You also raise fish?"

“This has only started in recent years.”

The tree-keeper grinned and said, "We in the Tree Monster Territory mainly export timber, but if we manage too single a resource, it will easily lead to problems."

"One year, the tree monsters got a disease and started to lose their leaves one by one, and their branches turned yellow. Although I invited a professional electromechanical doctor, two of them died in the end."

“There were several reasons for the diagnosis at that time.”

"First, the drought caused transpiration, which led to the rupture of the duct water column. The other was that honey fungus infected the roots and trunks of the trees, which was difficult to detect in time. The combination of the two caused a great disaster. The tree monsters could barely hold on, but the forest died on a large scale. At that time, the tree monster territory was really close to extinction..."

The big cat's eyes were filled with pain, and its claws couldn't help scratching.

Zhou Yi expressed his understanding: "Every family has its own problems. Only after you have experienced it, you will know the difficulties. We still have to take disaster prevention measures."

"You're right."

Lord Shu Huan showed a hint of approval in his eyes: "So from then on, I began to seek more transformation. I planted a lot of fruit trees in the territory, and the subjects in the territory are also good at tree planting. In addition, the soil and water over there are very good, so this is not difficult." "It's just that exporting fruits is more difficult than I thought. Because fruits are easily damaged during transportation and can't be kept for long, and there is also the problem of the sweetness of the fruit itself... This requires very professional talents, and it takes a lot of time to cultivate and improve it."

"It has been more than ten years since we planted the fruit trees. Now the fruit business has started to improve. Our grapes, sweet and sour fruits, and pears are all good, and many cities are willing to buy them."

Zhou Yi's rating of Shu Huan Gong was raised in his mind.

Although this sea lord looks wild, his style of doing things is very delicate, and his adaptation to local conditions is also commendable.

"In addition to the orchard, we also tapped into the unique water resources of the Tree Monster Territory."

The tree-keeper continued, "I have partially renovated the existing lakes and rivers in the territory. The giant-clawed otters have built dams and fish ponds there. We are currently mainly raising these two types of fish."

It raised its claws and pointed at the two big fish: "Grass carp grows very fast. It eats grass and algae and can grow to 4 kilograms in 5 months. But it can only grow in rivers on land."

The tree keeper pointed to the small fish next to him and said, "The silver needle fish tastes better and can survive in the Dead Sea. It grows slowly and usually takes a year to be eaten, and it's only this big. But the good thing is that it lays a lot of eggs. A silver needle fish can produce 1 to 4000 eggs, which is also a good bait for finding wild light fish species."

"Thanks to the export of these two kinds of fish, especially the silver needle fish, our Tree Monster Territory has gotten a little better."

"If you don't mind, please accept these two kinds of fish. I will also take the fry and the instructions on how to raise them."

Zhou Yi was alert.

The other party has invested a huge amount of money and must have some very important demands.

He asked, "What do you want, Tree Master?"

The territorial sea lord, who looked like a giant black cat, licked his lips and said, "I sincerely hope that I can join the Development Alliance and get better development under the leadership of Mr. Zhou."

"..."

Scared me.

It turned out that he came to join the gang.

Zhou Yi asked: "Why? The Tree Monster Territory has no external threat and its development momentum is not bad."

The tree keeper looked somewhat helpless, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Zhou Yi suddenly came to his senses.

In the eyes of TreeHuangong, the Development League is a rapidly growing and powerful neighbor, and the pressure on it is constantly increasing.

The development alliance is a foreign threat.

The Treekeeper simply said, "The Tree Monster Territory itself relies on large-scale exports. If it joins the alliance, the few cities here will be enough to absorb the wood, fruit and even fish output from our side."

"Now I can clearly feel that the development speed here is very fast. In comparison, the development of the Tree Monster Territory is too backward."

It hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. Although the Development Alliance did not target the Tree Monster Territory, the Tree Monster Territory suffered a lot because of the Development Alliance."

The big cat sighed.

"The Flame Cup is exported in large quantities, and the demand for wood for heating in various places has dropped significantly. Our Tree Monster Territory has also been greatly impacted. In the last two quarters, the export of wood has dropped by 34% and 41% respectively. If it continues, it will drop even more sharply."

"Then there are fish. The Alliance has refrigeration boxes and related cheap cold storage technology, which the Tree Monster Territory needs badly. Our fruits and fish all require refrigeration and low-temperature technology, which can greatly reduce our natural losses. Frozen fish can still be eaten even after half a year."

"The other one is the mushroom house."

The Tree Master added: "Our Tree Monster Territory's urban construction is relatively poor, and mushroom houses can meet most of the needs of urban construction. And I believe that mushroom houses will definitely be more than that in the future."

“So no matter now or in the future, I very much hope to join the alliance, become a part of it, contribute our strength, and hope to receive the support and protection of the alliance.”

"Before this, I also visited Lord Shahai, Lord Beidu, and Lord Furen. They gave me some very useful suggestions, but they all said that the key to this matter is your nod and your agreement."

Zhou Yixin said, this guy looks mighty and brave, but I didn't expect him to be so good at networking.

He contacted three other sea lords.

People like Shu Huan Gong, Sha Hai Gong and others all have good opinions about them.

The Tree Monster Territory is a close geographical neighbor, and local output can make up for the lack of wood, fruit and fish in the Development Alliance.

Zhou Yi nodded immediately: "Then welcome to join."

"Grateful."

The tree keeper's claws popped out in excitement: "Mr. Zhou, I will do whatever you say in the future!"

Zhou Yi smiled and said, "Apart from anything else, we are in great need of fish here. You should raise more fish there. The employees in the company all like to eat meat."

"sure."

After officially joining the company, Shu Huan Gong revealed another piece of news: "Mr. Zhou, I have another problem here. Because I want to raise fish, I hired a mechanical life, it is specialized in aquatic seedlings, it is called Saier Liba."

"Si Er Li Ba was recently infected with the Sunday virus and was forcibly taken away by the Mechanical and Electrical City."

"Before I left, the special agent from the Security Department asked me about the mechanical and electrical life of the Wasteland Development Company..."

Its voice lowered. “I suspect they may come over to conduct a mandatory inspection of the company.”

Zhou Yi frowned.

He asked Hong Xun in his heart: "Can the electromechanical city do this?"

The drone said: "According to a specific agreement, by triggering the mandatory inspection clause, the freedom of electromechanical life can be restricted, and it will only be released after ensuring that it is harmless."

"The mechatronic city will go to war because they refuse to hand it over?"

"No, we will just impose sanctions on cities that refuse to cooperate."

Zhou Yi had an idea in mind.

If you think about it carefully, the electromechanical city is actually quite outrageous.

If one of our own is threatened abroad, we will try every possible means to protect and rescue him.

They found that their own people were infected with the virus outside, so they immediately struck back at their own people.
