Chapter 434 Scientific Expedition Mission

Seeing the real blue sea and blue sky, they felt like they were back home.

On the sparkling sea, agile triangular "fish" appeared from time to time, shaking their tails and jumping out of the water, as if racing with the submarine. In fact, it was the water flow formed by the rotation of the submarine propeller that frightened these things and made them jump out.

Well, strictly speaking, these creatures should not be considered fish. According to the results of biological anatomy, their structure is completely different from that of fish. They don't even have a spine in the middle, but use some high-strength meridians like ligaments to maintain the shape of their bodies.

In order to adapt to the marine environment, the whole body of these creatures is still streamlined, with well-developed muscles, and they look very much like "fish". This is a kind of convergent evolution.

There are also various sponge-like fat creatures sinking to the bottom of the water. They are a kind of mollusk, golden yellow, and look a bit like sea cucumbers. Some foodie soldiers even want to catch a few to eat.

However, this place is still too far from the coastline, and there are relatively few aerial creatures.

"A natural fishing ground, with so many alien creatures, what's so delicious about sea sponges... Fish full of lean meat is more delicious, and there's no need to worry about fish bones... Isn't it protein after cooking, no matter whether it's an alien product?" Zhao Yao thought simply and roughly.

Of course, they couldn't really catch fish to eat without the consent of experts.

Several soldiers looked into the distance above the submarine, talking and laughing.

"Okay, everyone take this anti-allergic pill first, try to expose your skin and contact the alien atmosphere. Don't be too afraid, at most there will be some allergic reactions."

A biologist shouted from the submarine: "Don't worry, we are superhumans, our immune system is far superior to ordinary people, and ordinary microorganisms in the air will not be affected."

"... The immune system needs a gradual process, first skin contact, then breathing the atmosphere here, and finally eating food! It will probably take a week to adapt!"

Zhao Yao and other soldiers were stunned for a moment, and then took off their gloves with excitement.

They couldn't wait!

It's been a long time since I felt the atmosphere of a planet. Just by touching the skin, these people also burst into an unparalleled sense of freshness.

It was quite cold outside. Because it was close to the Antarctic Circle, the temperature was only about minus six degrees. The splashes of water from the high-speed movement of the submarine flew to the hands, which was a bit icy.

The air pressure of this planet was only slightly higher than that of the earth. Even ordinary people could easily adapt to it, let alone superhumans.

Moreover, the oxygen content of Auriga 2 was higher than that of the earth. When humans came here, they could only be intoxicated by oxygen, not lack of oxygen.

"Stupid! You can't breathe yet!" Zhao Yao saw a soldier taking off his helmet and knocked on his helmet several times.

There were a total of ten soldiers and more than twenty scientists who carried out this mission.

They wanted to capture a few Auriga natives, study the specific biological structure, and obtain more information about this civilization.

A quarter of an hour later, the submarine also absorbed a lot of alien atmosphere, sank again, and headed towards the coastline at high speed.

The country closest to the Antarctic base is called "Sisanna". This country is not particularly large, and its military strength is not strong. Because of the recent energy problems, it is still in a state of political chaos, which is most suitable for the infiltration of new human civilization.

What's more, everyone looks similar. With the current technology, it is still very easy for humans to make trouble.

During the energy crisis, "Yufu 2" experienced large-scale wars and the ice age brought by the nuclear winter, and its population has been greatly reduced.

The high cost of living after the redevelopment has further reduced the desire of ordinary people to reproduce multiple offspring.

Therefore, the population of the entire planet has only 1.08 billion so far, which is in a stable development situation, and the natural growth rate is very low.

Compared with 86% of the earth's land, such a population is not particularly large, and it can be regarded as a vast land with sparse population.

Well, compared with the new human civilization, this population can be said to be extremely large... It's just that the quality is not enough, and the gap between the rich and the poor is very large.

An expert looked at the satellite map and said with emotion: "Cities with other sustainable energy sources such as geothermal energy, hydropower, tidal energy, etc., are of course more affluent, and housing prices in these areas are also particularly high. Super hydropower stations like the Three Gorges Dam and Itaipu Dam can easily support the huge electricity consumption of a city."

"Real industries are also built on such power stations."

Another biologist followed suit and said: "Solar energy... is far from enough. One square meter of solar energy, assuming its 200W of electrical power, requires more than 1,000 watts to turn on an air conditioner, which requires 5 Square meters of solar panels! This is just one appliance!

Where do so many solar panels come from... And the sunlight hours in a day are different in the morning, noon and evening. Converted to the direct sunlight standard at noon, it is only about 3-4 hours... Well, it's a bit overestimated."

"Let's assume that a family has 10 square meters of solar panels and only uses 8 degrees of electricity a day. This data may not be accurate, but it's about like this. A city that relies only on solar energy must be very short of energy, and even industry cannot develop. It can only rely on farming... agriculture to make a living."

Controlling energy means controlling the core of civilization. Whether in the oil age or the post-oil age, this is the golden rule.

But in the post-oil era, even if technology is more advanced, life is not easy... at least most people's life is not easy. Although they have not witnessed it with their own eyes, people have discussed these things.

Soon, after a day of sailing, the submarine found a small fishing boat 300 kilometers away from the coastline.

These soldiers rubbed their hands one by one, and felt an inexplicable excitement in their hearts.

"Professor, do we have... a way to erase memory now?" Zhao Yao looked at an expert and asked.

"No, you think too much." The expert saw his thoughts and said with a smile: "It is possible to make it stupid or completely erase the memory, but it is not possible to accurately erase the memory of a period of time..."

"So don't think about messing around."

"Is that so..." Zhao Yao thought for a while, "Let's take a gentler approach..."

On the fishing boat, there was a man looking around, named Sha Linduo. A piece of clothing on his body was tilted most of the way, revealing the waxy wheat-colored skin on his shoulders, which was obviously caused by long-term sun exposure.

Small eyes, coupled with a thin face, make this native look capable.

But Shalinduo's mental state was not very good. He was looking at the empty water surface in boredom.

"It's a loss, a big loss, Alei..." The instrument did not find a large number of fish, which made him scratch his hair anxiously. The smell of fish made the pet "cat" on the boat stare straight.

This time he went out to sea, he didn't want to make a fortune, just wanted to get back his investment.

The light blue sea had no novelty for him. In this fishing trip, except for some worthless "lamado", they didn't catch anything valuable.

"It's a loss!"

Shalinduo cursed inwardly, but the inherent superstition of fishermen made him dare not curse the sea, but only himself.

He is a serious "third generation of farmers", a member of the lower class of society.

To put it bluntly, he is a farmer.

Farmers are the most common profession in "Yufu 2 Star", because food is of course the more the better for this society.

Food is not only for food, but also for making... industrial fuel! For example, industrial alcohol and combustible substances such as methane are mostly made from grain.

Yes, without oil and natural gas, industrial alcohol is almost the best and most common fuel. Many chemical products and daily necessities are extracted from grain, which is somewhat similar to the new human civilization.

With this relationship, there is never too much grain, and it is impossible to sell it, and it will be stable at a stable price for a long time. All unemployed vagrants can go out to open up wasteland and farm. Anyway, there are a lot of land. As for machinery and other things, just apply for a loan. As long as there is no natural disaster or man-made disaster, there will be no loss.

And the Shalinduo family, through the efforts of three generations, finally accumulated a small fishing boat. With this small fishing boat, he can get rid of the identity of a farmer... and become a... fisherman!

Or two identities, both farming and fishing.

Don't underestimate such a fishing boat. If calculated in federal currency, it will cost at least two million! This number is enough to make a family worry-free for a lifetime.

A fishing boat gave him a small status among the surrounding farmers, and he also got a more beautiful wife and two smart and lovely children.

However, Shalinduo was not satisfied with his life of farming and fishing, and he did not want his two sons to follow him to fish. He wanted to make more money through hard work!

"At least provide a better school and a better learning environment for my children, so that they can enter the upper class of society. Being a doctor or a lawyer is considered a middle-class person."

"Red envelopes to give to the old village head, and gifts to Mayor Ma... All these cost money. Without money, no one will care about you! You are a skinning ghost!"

Climbing up is not an easy thing, making money is his biggest goal!
