Will the kemonomimi encounter Alien Ranch Story?

“Then we have no problem.” The person in charge felt that they could sign the contract immediately. The other party had already terminated their contract with their original company, so there would be no trouble with poaching them. Of course, even if there were trouble, it wouldn’t matter—how many divisions did they have?

They don't know how many divisions they have, but they currently have two infantry divisions, one cavalry division, and one armored battalion, so they don't need to worry about any unspoken rules or explicit rules, such as not allowing infected people to appear on screen.

If you're so capable, go and talk to an infantry division and armored battalion made up of infected people about this issue; they'd probably be happy to have a "bullet debate" (physical) discussion.

Chapter 45 The Gravity Anomaly Index of Star EA Rises

Chapter 45

For Johnny, Terra's film industry is full of things that "cannot be forced".

For example, without a real-time environmental scanning camera system, it is impossible to construct a true virtual reality scene effect. Without the symbiotic implantation of actors, it is impossible for the audience to be completely immersed in the perspective of the characters.

Yes, it means immersing oneself in the literal sense, using the other person's perspective and perception for a more immersive experience.

Similarly, set design is beyond our control. With the continuous development of the times and increasingly terrifying investments, the film industry has reached a peak in set design and props. Usually, we have to find a planet with a similar environment to build a temporary filming dome.

Custom-made organisms and plants were ordered from a professional ecological company and arranged according to the director's and script's requirements.

As for the composite special effects, they are based on quantum supercomputing and are completely identical to real objects, making it impossible to distinguish between CG and real objects.

In fact, live actors were even eliminated from the film industry at one point because of this perspective. It wasn't until the arrival of the "Perception Revolution" that audiences could experience the plot through the eyes and perspectives of the characters. The appropriate insertion of such segments effectively enhanced the viewing experience, which led to the return of live actors to the theater.

Therefore, Johnny was completely dissatisfied with Terra's film products, from set design and acting to props and special effects. He could only barely accept the script because the literature belonged to the "there's nothing new under the sun" genre.

After all, art and literature can't be created by simply piling on material; there are quite a few bad movies in Star Alliance.

However, Terra's script did not make much progress due to the slow development of the film industry, high costs, and limited film sources. Even if you were to find gold in the dung, there is a big difference between the gold you can pull out of a septic tank and the gold you can pull out of a latrine.

Therefore, the newly formed "Lunar Light and Shadow Industries" first needs to solve the hardware problem. Cameras, lights, and monitors all need to be redesigned from scratch. They cannot use Covenant technology, nor can they use it. Those things require a certain level of education, and given the educational level of Terra's employees...

Moreover, no one can help with this hardware; Lao Xia's expertise is too broad, while Johnny knows a little.

But more than that, I'm familiar with Star Alliance equipment. I'm completely clueless about how to use these old-fashioned film gadgets. Just figuring out what kind of film to use, how to synthesize it, and how to fix it is a real headache.

After trying to provide remote guidance for a while, only to make things worse, Lao Xia and Johnny finally realized that they were completely wasting resources and had no choice but to skip the film issue altogether and jump straight into the abyss of digital recording.

Digital recording has several advantages, such as instant playback and on-site editing. For someone like Johnny, who has a shipboard quantum computer but doesn't know what to do with it, the computing resources allow for on-site rendering and special effects.

The premise is that he hasn't forgotten the programming skills he learned in high school and knows how to write special effects software.

The drawback is that implementing this under Terra's technological limitations will lead to numerous problems.

For example, there are high requirements for clarity, stability, and environmental and lighting conditions. Moreover, regardless of the type, the lens is not part of the farm's blueprint and needs to be designed and manufactured by a professional lens maker.

After signing the contract, Shi Tieshou not only didn't see the script for a long time, but she also didn't see any filming equipment, and at one point she wondered if she had entered some strange illegal company.

Fortunately, in this era where the cold winter is steadily approaching, with generous rewards, it is always possible to find people. Half a month after joining the company, the first prototype digital camera was produced. After debugging and fixing many bugs and problems, the second and third cameras were quickly rolled off the production line.

Because the film industry holds significant promotional value for the Doctor, his first film was undoubtedly a romantic comedy. This served as a convenient way to indirectly promote the environment and benefits of the Saqqa Oasis in the north. Simultaneously, it aimed to reduce the prejudice of ordinary Sarkaz people in the south against the north.

Iron-eating beast could only watch others practice, perform, and communicate repeatedly on set, purely sitting on the sidelines.

Although her salary wasn't reduced, she still felt very uncomfortable, since others had things to do, while she was just a freeloader.

Fortunately, she quickly found her new niche: these new actors were really incompetent, having received no professional acting training whatsoever, and she, being a veteran actress, was pulled in to be a temporary teacher, and then…

“You’re playing a village girl, not a prostitute. Haven’t you ever seen what a village girl looks like? Why don’t you go outside and experience it for yourself? Director, I suggest this lady go work in the fields for two months first.” These amateurs only took about two days to push the Iron Eater to this point.

I've seen all sorts of lousy cooks on set, but where did they pick up these bad habits?

Of course, if the script required a few courtesans, these little succubi could probably play the roles perfectly, but what's needed now are village girls!

Even the silver-haired, curly-haired woman who looked like an aristocrat acted more like a country girl than these people; at least her rice-planting posture was quite realistic.

"Calm down, calm down, Teacher Tie, don't be angry with them. The main thing is that they were just rescued, and they don't have any other skills to make a living besides this."

"Start over, do it again, I don't believe it!" The little panda was clearly carried away.

The textile factory is already at full capacity for female workers, and local farm women and village girls are lining up to get jobs there, since it's much more respectable than farming.

If it weren't for Boss Xia's collaboration with Syracuse to open several food processing plants, the workforce would be saturated. The main problem is that female workers are indeed difficult to find, but strong Sarkaz men are easy to find. There are plenty of places to hire them, including the army, mines, ice rinks, smelters, and construction sites. In fact, it feels like there isn't enough manpower.

In particular, the mining sites responsible for smelting rare earths require a large amount of labor for exploration and digging in the vast Kazdel Desert. As long as Boss Xia keeps a little bit of the mechanization and automation process in mind, there will be no shortage of manpower, only a lack of manpower.

However, the situation is a bit more complicated for female workers. Middle-aged women's physical strength begins to decline, while young and middle-aged women mostly have jobs involving childbirth and childcare, so they can't spend all day on the construction site like men. Moreover, their physical strength is indeed not as good as men's.

Jobs suitable for women, such as medical care, textiles, and food processing, are relatively less physically demanding, but either require higher technical skills or are already saturated.

Especially in textile factories, the high degree of automation requires female workers to have high levels of education and technical skills, while these girls cannot compete with the more physically demanding farm women for purely manual labor.

This is quite awkward, so the studios and film industry are dominated by women, from staff to actors. Fortunately, some of the rescued Sarkaz girls picked up some of the jobs quite quickly.

In addition, the script has been a real headache for everyone, as it has never been written before, and the professional playwright they sought has yet to submit a draft.

After all, this kind of thing doesn't just appear out of thin air, and it's a bit frustrating that you can't be there with a rifle in hand to urge someone to finish their work.

There were no professional directors either, because at this point in time, the film industry was developing quite well due to its cheap entertainment nature, and most well-known directors didn't seem to be unemployed. It would be too difficult to recruit people from a place like Kazdel, where the whole world thought a war was about to break out, but there hadn't been any war yet.

In Syracuse, winters are not so cold, perhaps due to the warm currents of the Gulf of Victoria and the hilly terrain of Syracuse. Although it snows, it is mostly light snow, and the wind is not so biting and cold.

However, to avoid any problems, the manor butler turned on the fireplace in the room early on. Instead of using a traditional fireplace, he replaced it with an expensive buried fireplace system powered by Originium. Compared to a tower fireplace, the temperature is more controllable and more even, and it doesn't feel too dry.

It consumes about 2 Pure Originium Stones per month, which is a very expensive device for Terrans, and few people can afford it, given the price of Pure Originium Stones.

Even Lao Xia, who produces 200 million standard Originium ingots a day, wouldn't dare to popularize this heating system on his own territory.

Because if that were the case, it would be questionable whether producing 200 million units per day would be enough for heating – any consumption multiplied by a huge population would become an astronomical figure.

Just as the rice and flour consumed daily in Longmen would pile up to form a mountain, the situation is even more severe in modern life. Taking Beijing as an example, without considering waste and assuming everyone makes the most of resources, the consumption of basic living supplies and food would consume the entire load of a 40-ton cargo ship in about a week.

If we consider the consumption of other goods and all sorts of other waste, the actual amount of resources consumed every day is astronomical; the amount of garbage alone is 1.8 tons per day.

Therefore, if Lao Xia were to popularize this extremely wasteful heating system, the only result would be that the production capacity would be completely insufficient for daily use.

Therefore, the people of Satie Oasis and other places need to continue to enjoy the pleasant experience of the tower furnace, even though the tower furnace itself is very dangerous.

After all, the heating system inside is an ultra-high temperature plasma manufactured by Talulah's Originium Arts, and every month there are more than a dozen people who suffer serious burns due to improper use.

"I'm so bored, and we can't even go out in winter." Swire leaned against the window, looking at the street scene outside. The obedient Lisza took her hand and said softly, "Can we read a storybook together?"

"Mmm, sure!" He rubbed his face against the little girl's cheek. "I'd be perfectly content if I had a daughter this cute!"

"Huh?"

"You can have the baby yourself, what if it's a daughter?" Old Xia replied casually, flipping through the technical documents in his hand. To be honest, they did look like a family of three now.

"Don't I know my own personality? Even if I don't, don't you have any idea what kind of person you are? Even if you were born a daughter, it would be a miracle if she was even half as well-behaved as you!"

Swire rolled her eyes knowingly, knowing that she herself was a spoiled and willful person, while Old Xia had a different kind of indifferent feeling, and their daughter would probably be similar to Yelena in temperament.

"Family education and early childhood interaction are the main factors in shaping character and personality. Genetic inheritance has an influence, but it is not the decisive factor. Hmm, my professional skills." Old Xia turned a page of the document.

"In fact, many people feel that their children resemble their parents, partly due to genetic inheritance that leads to similar appearance and temperament."

Furthermore, due to the influence of parent-child relationships and education, if the child is taken away from their adoptive parents at birth, they will resemble them more in aspects other than appearance and temperament.

The Star Alliance has a wealth of case studies and data on this topic. 30% to 40% of the population comes from this background to some extent, so they can collect a lot of data to identify the dividing line and quantify the difference between innate genes and acquired influences.

"Look, if it's a son, I think he'll definitely be a carbon copy of you. I don't believe you can raise anything else out of him." He must be a tech geek who also seems a bit aloof.

Furthermore, due to his birth environment, Lao Xia understands romance to some extent, even more so than the people of Terra, who understand higher-level romantic activities.

However, it would be a different story if the next generation grew up in Terra without such an absurd abundance of resources.

Simply put, the father represents the lower limit of human emotional intelligence, only this lower limit has been significantly raised.

Therefore, compared to the Terrans, they only seem slightly "wooden." However, the next generation, inheriting their father's traits and upbringing, in an environment where the lower limits haven't been raised...

The little tiger, who has fully embraced the role of expectant mother, has already begun to worry about her future daughter-in-law.

As for the daughter, she will either be influenced by Lao Xia and Yelena to become a second Yelena, or she will be influenced by herself to become a smaller version of Swire.

Because it's unlikely that she experienced the same kidnapping and subsequent determination to join the Guard Bureau during her childhood, and the hardships she faced at work and witnessing the struggles of those at the bottom, which would have smoothed out a large part of her rough edges, she would have become even more willful and capricious, turning into a pure spoiled young lady.

Someone as cute and well-behaved as Lisa… After examining himself with astonishing self-criticism, the little tiger had completely given up hope.

Lisa tilted her head, somewhat confused, unsure how to resolve this disagreement between the couple. Fortunately, it wasn't an argument, just simple complaints and venting.

Just as Swire was about to take Lisa to read a picture book, there was a knock on the door. "Mom!" The nine-tailed fox girl ran to the door and threw herself into the arms of a young lady named Rupert. "Thank you so much for taking care of my daughter. If possible, please give me a chance to repay your kindness." The lady Rupert looked a little haggard, but she still thanked them according to family etiquette.

"It's nothing. If you mean Oripathy, I didn't do much. That blocker only prevents her from infecting a second person and alleviates her pain to some extent." It's like giving allopurinol to a gout patient; it can't cure the disease, but it can prevent the pain from flare-ups.

“If possible, I still hope she can go to Kazdel for surgery.”

"Can I go with her?" The woman asked with some concern. Although the godfather had explained a lot to her, she didn't really trust this person. It wasn't because Xia Lin seemed like a villain, but because, having grown up in the mafia, she knew that someone willing to do so much must have a reason.

It could be to repay a debt of gratitude, to seek cooperation, or to have other interests at stake, and based on her understanding of Oripathy—

After Lisa contracted the virus, she studied a lot of related materials on her own—both the preventative and remission medications were invaluable.

If the Godfather paid a price for her out of consideration for her many years of service to the family and her near-complete integration into the family, in exchange for this palliative treatment, she believed it and was willing to provide the man with the compensation she could, after all, she had accumulated quite a bit of savings over the years.

However, surgeries and implants that almost completely cure Oripathy, and are of exceptional price and value, fall outside the scope of normal transactions.

She simply couldn't believe that anyone in the world would make such a decision out of pure kindness or empathy.

Then there must be a greater scheme, one that exceeds what she can give. The target of this scheme is either her god-people husband or Lisa herself, who has inherited the bloodline of the gods.

However, she couldn't stop Lisa from getting treatment, because she knew that this was indeed her daughter's only chance to become a normal person, or at least half a normal person. Moreover, she couldn't offend the godfather's distinguished guest, so she could only beg him.

"Yes, you are very welcome..." Old Xia really didn't have any special motives. If we don't count the sampling for wet cultivation, Lisa's Originium Arts are very unique, similar to the nerve influence ability of the Black Serpent.

She can control the Originium components in other people's brains, affecting nerves and brain secretions. Simply put, anyone who comes into contact with her will find it hard to resist developing feelings for her, just like the legendary nine-tailed fox's innate charm.

Furthermore, when using Originium Arts, it produces Foxfire that has no physical lethality. This is an illusionary flame that Old Xia cannot see or perceive at all.

However, for the Terrans, they can feel a cold flame burning them, causing harm.

It deceives the target's brain, creating hallucinations that can be fatal. Simultaneously, it distorts the target's spatial and temporal perception, making their movements appear stiff and stagnant to onlookers. Lisa can further amplify this effect, causing a surge of abnormal dopamine and similar substances in the target's brain without causing any harm.

This means that the target's murderous intent and determination to act will be affected by the secretions in their brain. To put it bluntly, they will find it difficult to harm the little girl in front of them, and will feel a strong sense of guilt and reluctance. The original attack behavior will be forcibly interrupted by this confused command.

If it had been an organization with insufficient technical capabilities that could only rely on live sample experiments, Lisa's fate might have been much worse.

For example, Loken Water Tank and Rhine Life, but for Lao Xia, as long as he can obtain some somatic cells and egg cells, he can theoretically create an army of foxes within a few months.

It's even simpler to create wet and test specimens of Originium organs and parts of the nervous system that are simply cultivated in a targeted manner. The subjects of the research wouldn't even have the feeling that they are being studied, if you don't count the regular blood draws and sampling to update the sample database.

This level of injury shouldn't be considered a problem by the Terrans. After all, regular checkups and tests are a responsible approach, especially when hospitalized and having an implant inserted.

"Really, thank you so much. I don't know how to express my gratitude. Please don't hesitate to ask if there's anything I can do for you." Lisa's mother finally breathed a sigh of relief; the other person didn't seem like a bad person after all. But... repaying this debt of gratitude would be difficult.

The Godfather's arrangement for her to meet with Old Xia wasn't without the intention of protecting her. According to the rules of the Mafia, she had gone too far, and the family couldn't protect her. Staying in the family would only cause trouble for the old Godfather and would bring her no benefit.

The Godfather's final gift to his former trusted subordinate was to find her a decent home, rather than have her killed in the street by a rival family in retaliation.
