Dragon God, immortal

All the fishing boats in the archipelago are the Ryujin, or boats modeled after the Ryujin.

The archipelago has long stopped using wood to build ships.

They only use steel, titanium, aluminum and plastic.

There is no need to say much about steel. After so many years of improvement, the quality of steel produced in the archipelago cannot be said to be the best in the world, but compared with humans, it is definitely not worse.

As for titanium... Rutile is the raw material for hair crystal, so titanium is used very little, and is mostly used to make alloys with aluminum...

Then what about aluminum? Do you know about the magic aluminum refining? In the archipelago, the tableware used by Master Shushan is made of aluminum, the fish cans used by Master Guangre are made of aluminum, and most of the outer plates of the Dragon God are made of aluminum. It can be said that aluminum products have been integrated into every aspect of the lives of cat people.

The cat people's method of smelting aluminum is also very simple, which is to turn bauxite into corundum, and then release the magic inside the corundum. Ding ding~, the aluminum powder is ready, and then [aggregate mud magic] plus flame flower smelting can produce a large number of aluminum ingots.

"…But, the dissipated magic power still cannot be collected. We are not like Lord Guangre who can control the direction of the magic power…" Bai Xue said after drinking some drinks. He could only complain to his grandfather about such technical matters.

"Alas, we can only overcome this kind of thing by ourselves." Hei Song nodded and said.

You can ask Lord Shushan about farming.

As for the rest, forget it.

We cannot rely on Lord Shushan for everything. Compared with Lord Shushan’s contributions, they, the cat people, owe the Dragon God a lot.

The two male cat people didn't talk about aluminum smelting and corundum to produce demons for too long, and soon turned the topic to plastics... For some reason, Lord Shushan has very strict controls on plastics.

"Speaking of which, the one that was going to be presented to Lord Shushan... has Grandpa Heisong dealt with it?" Bai Xue suddenly said mysteriously.

"Well, that... Of course, even though I'm over sixty years old this year, I was the cat-man who was best at magic in the tribe. That little thing can't stump me!" Hei Song laughed.

"The joints need to be tightened. You know how strong Master Shushan is..."

"Of course, of course, but is it really okay to use ball joints for the limbs?"

"As for Lord Shushan, he can control it very well."

"That's right, he is the Earth Dragon God after all."

Heimong nodded in agreement. Lord Shushan's ability to control magic was far beyond the cat people's imagination.

Bai Xue smiled a long-lost relaxed smile. When he was a child, he liked to make small toys by grinding plastic. He didn't expect that this hobby would become a job when he grew up.

He is now the only colossus designer in Shushan. Shushan's requirement for the plastic colossus is that it must be strong and durable and able to withstand 20% of his power output.

It took Bai Xue two or three years to meet these requirements before she could finally realize the actual object from the design.

It can be said to be a dedicated effort.

Finally lived up to everyone's expectations.

As for the part he asked Heimong's grandfather to process, it was some artistic design, such as surface painting and cavity decoration...

Well, the former is a Colossus paint job. If Lord Shushan wants to use the Colossus to deal with outsiders, the paint job must be majestic and domineering... Although the latter is not something that Shushan needs, he installed it in case it might be used.

After the colossus is completed, it is time to deliver it. I hope it will satisfy Lord Shushan.

After the conversation, Bai Xue decided to go and inspect it.

Although he trusted his grandfather to do things.

But that is something to be dedicated to Shushan!

So he took Hei Song and got on the high-speed tractor - this was the third generation of tractors that focused on speed - and headed towards Sanhua Village.

By the way, it is strictly forbidden to drive farm equipment after drinking. If the watchman catches you driving a tractor after drinking, you will inevitably be put in confinement for education for three days!

Not long after, the two cat people crossed the Mianlong Bridge, walked along the Dragon God Avenue, and returned to the entrance of Sanhua Village...

Right here, Bai Xue could see Shu Shan's broad shoulders from afar...

Lord Shushan actually comes to visit at this time.

That's rare. Is there something urgent?

No cat people in the Cat's Claw Islands dared to neglect Shushan. Baixue and Heisong hurriedly got out of the car and rushed to Shushan.

Before them, some cat people had already prepared large portions of fresh food for Shushan as a treat, but Shushan didn't touch the delicacies much.

He sat quietly in front of the ancestral hall, his calm face so peaceful that no one could understand what he was thinking.

"Master Shushan, what is the equator?"

"Wu...Aunt Bai Lan, I don't want to get up..."

"Wow! Master Shushan, why are you here? You scared me without making any noise!"

"Lord Shushan, I have to go back to the Palm Island. My people need me... but I will be back!"

Juanhua is the smartest cat person. At least in Shushan’s heart, she has always been the smartest. It feels like the time when he was answering Juanhua’s questions was just a while ago.

"Ah, I miss them a little bit." Shushan sighed. He recognized the five cat people who first landed on the island, and he was very familiar with them...

Each of them was a student he personally taught, and they did not disappoint Shushan. They made achievements in different fields and were his pride...

When Shushan was suffering from farmland damage, they were the ones who drove away harmful birds and animals for Shushan;

They were the ones who helped Shushan make the thick soup when Shushan was so busy that his leaves were falling off;

When Shushan was worried about his sister's food, they were the ones who shared his worries... Oh no... No, no... Shaking his head gently, Shushan blinked his eyes and wiped away the moisture in his eyes with his eyelids.

He is an adult dragon and should know how to control his emotions. These cat people are all good children. They have worked hard and enjoyed themselves happily. At least in their later years, they can enjoy a peaceful retirement time.

Well, the cat people’s social big house system will spontaneously raise cubs and support the elderly.

This is a remarkable virtue.

That's why Shushan loves cat people.

"Lord Shushan! Good afternoon. Is there anything I can help you with?" Bai Xue looked up and waved to greet him.

"Oh, Bai Xue... You came at the right time. I wanted to ask about the construction of the new fishing boat, and... how is my new colossus going?" Shushan controlled his sadness and smiled gently.

"The new fishing boat is still under construction. The plastic and aluminum alloy planks are still in the testing stage. And your Colossus... hey, please follow me!" Bai Xue took Shushan to a large warehouse in the village.

This is where farm tools are parked.

It is also a garage for repairing farm tools.

A brown-green cube with a side length of about 20 meters stands quietly in the center of the warehouse.

Shushan blinked his eyes, and Baixue made a please gesture, indicating that Shushan could inspect the goods first to see if there were any modifications needed.

Shushan was not ambiguous about this and projected his consciousness into the cube. With the sound of plastic colliding, the cube unfolded, riveted, and assembled, and finally turned into an extremely majestic dragon! The shape was very exaggerated! The paint was also very shiny!

The tall forked dragon horns, the thick shoulders and thighs, the slightly delicate dragon claws on the limbs, and the conspicuous cyan areas all have pearlescent paint... Whether you look at it from the perspective of a dragon or a human, this colossus is so handsome!

"No, is it necessary to design it so exaggeratedly?" Shushan smiled helplessly, feeling that such an exaggerated giant statue did not suit him very well.

"This design is definitely suitable for you. You can ask the cat people around you." Bai Xue said affirmatively.

"Hmm..." Shushan pondered and looked down, and found that the cats all had admiring expressions.

Maybe Bai Xue is right.

Is it more appropriate to appear in this form?

Seeing that Shushan was satisfied with the giant statue, Shirayuki nodded contentedly... However, what Shushan didn't know was that most of the cat-people of Shirayuki's age had experienced his toy era.

This look is a bit exaggerated, but it has been tested by cat people for many years! This is what they think Shushan-sama looked like when he was young!

Well, although Shushan is still very young now.

Forget it, so be it.

The difficulty of creating a plastic giant is no easier than building a new fishing boat. Shushan has also been the contractor for Guangre to build houses, and he knows how annoying it would be to be picky at this time.

"Well... let's do this. It's pretty good if you take a closer look." Shushan put on the new skin, and after confirming that he could move freely, he folded it back into the box form and returned his consciousness to his main body.

After inspecting the box, Shushan asked about Baixue's fishing boats and aquaculture.

Bai Xue’s answer was not very optimistic.

Just like what Shushan said to Heisong back then.

Breeding is much more difficult than fishing, especially for fish around the archipelago, which are basically species that cannot be farmed. If these fish are forcibly trapped in a small sea area, the casualties will probably be heavy... Therefore, it is impossible to farm bonito and tuna.

This made Shushan a little worried. He now had only one thought, he just wanted to help her store the 'milk powder' before Binghai hatched.

Well, actually, the societies of dragons and cat-people are quite similar, especially the earth dragons. Earth dragons are quite attentive to their related cubs.

"Or... like the Insect Dragon Master, I could raise insects as baby food..." This thought flashed through Shushan's mind, but he quickly put it behind him.

This is not impossible, but large-scale breeding and processing of insects... To be honest, Shushan is not mentally prepared at all. Dragons have a natural aversion to these tiny, gregarious micro-creatures...

Forget it, I'd better build a good relationship with the Kingdom of Amon first. If it doesn't work, I'll find a way to get some investment from humans. I can't let my sister starve.

Speaking of his sister, Shushan thought of Guangre.

He hadn't projected in a while.

I don't know what's going on with Guangre?

. . . . . .

Fish, Wounds, Boundaries:

Fish farming is a very complicated job, especially for those delicious migratory fish species, which have very high requirements for light, water temperature, salinity and bait.

However, the Water Dragon God of Ice and Sea doesn't like to chew bones, so the fish produced in Antarctica are mainly small sardines and herrings.

. . . . . .

Yingyue took off her monocle.

He rubbed his aching eyes.

"Ah, after all, double-lens glasses with frame and ear hooks are better. Single-lens glasses are so annoying!"

This is below the Alchemy City, or rather, 'above'... because the Alchemy City is an upside-down city, a miracle created by the Earth Dragon God.

After the lobbying of diplomat Mariel, the residents of Alchemy City came to their senses and recognized that Alchemy City was an integral part of the Kingdom of Amon and should submit to the kingdom.

Then, Mariel begged Shushan to just release the people, and as for the city... since it could be kept safe hanging in the sky, then just leave it hanging there. This kind of landmark is a good thing to deter neighboring countries!

"Hey! Sister! What are you looking at again?" Lan Yue, carrying a gun on his back, jumped to his sister's side and grabbed her tail!

"I'm looking at an angel..." Yingyue ignored her sister's playfulness, pulled out her big tail, and looked resentful.

"Isn't it just a big statue? What's so good about it?" Lan Yue tilted her head and looked forward.

The holy remains of the angel Amon were placed not far from the Alchemy City. Well, it was just a temporary placement. The capital was busy building the 'God's Sleeping Place'.

"I was wondering...what exactly is magic..."

"Huh? Magic, isn't it just magic..."

"No, what I mean is, what exactly is our world like, why do we have consciousness, where did our ancestors come from, what is the reason for our existence...what is it?" Yingyue looked up at the sky at a forty-five degree angle.

"She looks amazing." Lan Yue didn't understand, but that didn't stop her from thinking her sister was amazing. "Want to go to the pier and get some fish and chips?"

"want."

Chapter 69: The Swarm (Part 2), Adaptive Evolution

The beast-eared tribe, especially the cat-eared tribe, benefited from the favor of the Dragon God and their status rose rapidly.

However, the civilian cat-eared people are still the same. At most, they will walk on the street and will no longer be captured as slaves. As for humans... it is still difficult for them to accept that other species are on an equal footing with themselves.

Most of the cat people who originated from the plateau had experienced brutal human rule and were not very enthusiastic about living in human cities. They all moved back to the cold plateau and developed with the foothill villages as their center.

Well, keeping distance is beneficial to both cat people and humans. There may be a chance to narrow the distance in the future, but that is a matter for the future...

A cat-man currently entering and leaving the kingdom.

There are only 'watchers' escorting the goods.

Well, the cat people on the plateau don’t have a true guardian heritage. Every year, only one or two cat people will choose to go to Tegenqiu Island for further studies. Most snow leopard cat people... don’t like to stay in tropical areas.

Especially Blue Moon and Ying Moon, the two sisters simply cannot accept the climate of Tegenkyu Island!

"One more!" Lan Yue shouted, slamming the table.

"No, two." Yingyue pushed her glasses and said.

In front of them, there were a lot of plates... As a cat-man escorting goods, Lan Yue Ying Yue actually had another identity, that is, the Dragon God Priest...

This identity is equivalent to a watcher in the archipelago, a divine magician in the kingdom, and in other human countries... it is equivalent to a knight with an aristocratic background.
