Chapter 51
comes to an end. With the cooperation of the Velvet Dreamweaver Spider and the news that the eighth-level ferocious beast was probably sealed in the secret realm, Dr. Xiamu immediately sent Ying Lan, the space beast master, into the depths of the cave to repair it with space power. The stalactite pillars were covered with cracks and were barely kept from being broken by being wrapped in spider webs.
With the efforts of her and the Mirror Cat, the cracks on the stalactite pillars slowly healed, and the shrinking speed of the space cracks at the entrance to the secret realm was also suppressed. Everything seemed to be back under control.
It's just that Ying Lan's own strength is slightly lower. With her physical strength and energy as a fourth-level beast master, space repair requires a huge energy expenditure. She has to take a break after half an hour, and the repair progress is a bit slow.
At Dr. Natsuki's reminder, Russell also asked the Velvet Dreamweaver a question:
What happened to the space turbulence in the Black Dew Forest at the beginning of the year? Was it caused by the sealed monster impacting the seal?
However, the Dreamweaver Spider insisted that the monsters in the seal had not made any major changes for the time being, and that the spatial turbulence was coming from the Black Dew Forest, affecting the stability of the secret realm from the outside.
Upon hearing the news, Meng Yuanfeng, whose main responsibility was city defense, turned black.
I was happy these days, thinking that I could develop a small secret realm that would be beneficial to the development of Senluo City. Unexpectedly, I learned about the sealed monster from the secret realm's guardian beast.
Immediately afterwards, the Dream Weaver Spider, who was directly affected by the space turbulence, said that the source of the turbulence was definitely not the seal in the secret realm... You must know that what
can set off space turbulence is either the spatial attribute of a certain area. A huge change occurred, or the violent energy collision of high-level beasts fighting to the death disrupted the surrounding space.
No matter which one it is, it is a threat to surrounding cities that cannot be ignored.
After the space turbulence occurred at the beginning of the year, the Longquan City Alliance Headquarters organized a large-scale search, but no useful results were found. In the end, most investigators believed that the turbulence may be caused by the collapse of the inner space of the secret realm.
But now, this conclusion has been overturned, and the two dangers are superimposed. They must re-evaluate the safety level of the Black Dew Forest.
The Alliance has been exploring the Black Dew Forest for decades, and has built a testing ground and some breeding and breeding bases in the outer areas. How come it suddenly became a high-risk zone... This made Meng Yuanfeng very depressed
.
In response to these circumstances, Dr. Xia Mu and Deputy Commander Meng Yuanfeng contacted the garrison in the city and brought in a lot of supplies. It seemed that they were going to build a temporary camp near the secret realm of the "Dreamweaver's Nest".
According to the emergency response plan, they planned to lay some basic defenses and information networks at the entrance to the secret realm.
Because no one can guarantee that space turbulence will not happen again, let alone whether the monsters sealed in the secret realm will really break out by then.
In case of any accident, even if these fortifications cannot stop the ferocious beasts that break through the seal, they can still send the news back to Senluo City in time and coordinate with other surrounding cities to carry out joint defense in the shortest possible time.
However, the Beast Control Alliance is a large-scale organization. Whether it is finalizing major matters or applying for assistance, there are many procedures to go through. It cannot be completed overnight by just a few middle-level managers from second-tier cities.
In the past few days, they were very busy, but Russell had no time to stay in the wild.
After accompanying Ying Lan into the secret realm a few more times, and after the Velvet Dreamweaver completely let down its guard and even took the initiative to disperse some of its silk to cooperate with the repair work, Russell bid farewell to Dr. Xiamu and returned to Senluo City in an armored vehicle.
There are three second-level cities near the Black Dew Forest, as well as countless small towns. Together, there may be tens of thousands of professional beast masters that can be dispatched.
The high-level pet beasts in the forest might go crazy and threaten the city. It was not his turn as a third-level beastmaster to worry about.
Besides, a threat is a threat, but it is still far from a real "disaster".
Meng Yuanfeng and the others paid so much attention to this, and considered more about the traffic of commercial routes between cities, as well as the safety of scattered farms and villages in the surrounding areas. The possibility of the ferocious beasts actually invading the main urban area was actually slim.
After being away from home for a few days, Russell is most concerned about the growth progress of Ayou and Daodao Mantis.
After receiving clear orders from the beastmaster, the pet beasts that have been contracted can also simply cooperate with the commands of others. Knowing that it is not his turn to take action during the exploration of the secret realm, Russell left both pet beasts behind before leaving. In the store.
Ayou continued to eat and drink, accumulating energy for evolution and practicing her floating ability.
Daodao Mantis was picked up and dropped off by Lu Yinning, and he continued to practice Mantis Boxing hard.
I don’t know if they have made much progress after not seeing each other for a few days~
However, before returning to the Insect Controlling House, Russell must first go to the Senluo Beast Controlling Research Institute, where there is a batch of rare materials prepared for him by Dr. Natsuki. , is the reward that the main personnel in this exploration process deserve.
With the pass issued by Dr. Xia Mu himself, Russell came to the innermost storage room on the third floor of the institute without any hindrance. Researcher Li Moran had received the news in advance that he was coming to collect his reward and was waiting at the door early.
"Russell, these are the cultivation materials selected by Dr. Xia Mu, as well as some internal information, you should be able to use them." After a few brief greetings, Li Moran took out a sealed box the size of a suitcase from the safe.
"Thank you."
Looking at Li Moran who was focusing on checking the items in the box with a list in his hand, Russell said his sincere thanks.
When he was just an ordinary little boss who went to the Fossil Museum to collect the Styx genus, Li Moran did not put on airs. He not only received her patiently, but also offered to help apply for subsidy projects. Now that Russell is very close to her immediate boss, Li Moran is still neither humble nor overbearing, and has never been arrogant
. He did not take the initiative to inquire about the relationship between the two.
Russell always felt very comfortable getting along with such people.
I wonder if it will be possible to recruit the two Li Moran sisters as R&D personnel when the scale of the Royal Insect House expands further and develops a product research and development department... It may be difficult, after all, the Senluo Royal Insect Research Institute is a senior-level staff with staff
. How can a unit, a small business of my own, compare?
However, if we cooperate more with Dr. Natsuki and ask him to send researchers to help from time to time, it is still possible.
While Russell was thinking about things, Li Moran had quickly finished counting the physical rewards. She closed the sealed box again, and then took out a stack of contracts from the filing cabinet next to her.
"There is also this contract, which the doctor asked me to draw up. Take a look at it and sign it if you have no objections."
After saying that, Li Moran handed the contract to Russell, with the words "Forest Land Contract Contract" clearly written on it. A big character.
After taking the contract and reading it quickly, he roughly understood Dr. Natsuki's intention.
The first half of the contract is indeed related to forestland contracting, which includes that the forestland is located near Fenglin Road, has a wide area, the contract period is unlimited, the rent is free, and only some basic environmental management fees need to be paid, etc.
Looking at the whole article, it can be said that the conditions are very generous, and Russell took advantage of almost every clause.
However, at the end of this contract, a separate confidentiality agreement was attached, which stated that it was forbidden to disclose any information about the official cooperation with the Senluo City Beast Control Alliance. Otherwise, the rewards and subsidies given would be doubled, and the rewards and subsidies may be doubled. Caught and jailed.
From this point of view, the box of rare cultivation materials just now was his reward for helping to obtain information as an external investigator.
And this contract is probably the hush money to ensure that Russell will never reveal the secret information to the outside world.
Fortunately, Russell himself is not a meddlesome person. Even if Dr. Natsuki doesn't point him out in this way, Russell will not go around showing off about exploring the secret realm.
It was almost like picking up a piece of suburban woodland only a few kilometers away from Fenglin Road for nothing, which surprised him.
As the scale of breeding pet animals in the Imperial Insect House expands, food sources are actually an issue that must be considered.
Although pet beasts like giant mulberry silkworms can survive by eating some ordinary mulberry leaves and low-level cultivation materials, and rely on purchasing to solve the food ration problem, the sales are always not as good as those grown at home.
It's not that there will be any quality issues with the feed you buy, it's just that the mass-produced stuff is mostly mediocre, which is not conducive to the refined breeding of pet animals.
Moreover, the queen bee egg has been hatched for some days, and new queen bees will break out of the egg from time to time. If you do not want to use processed ready-made pollen as honey-making material, the honeypot bee colony must also have a piece of land that can safely collect honey. place.
"It looks like we need to hire another gardener or something..."
After coming out of the Senluo Beast Control Research Institute, Russell held the contract in hand and thought about recruiting new employees.
After all, he had to be busy cultivating his main pet beasts, and also had to take care of sifting and sifting energy for other insect-type pet beasts in the store. He really didn't have time to farm anymore.
