"Hmm," Ning Yi looked at the terrain map in his mental vision and subconsciously glanced at the bewildered Uha beside him.

Huo Yuhao's topographical map was much more detailed than Wuha's map, and he even marked some areas with mineral distribution.

Perhaps it was good luck for Ning Yi and the others, or perhaps it was because they were currently located in the middle of the continent, but not far from the Uha tribe, Huo Yuhao marked an open-pit coal mine. At the same time, in a barren mountain ten kilometers away from the open-pit coal mine, an iron ore pit was also marked. In addition, there was a suspected oil field fifty kilometers north of the Uha tribe. However, since that area seemed to be within the territory of the Behemoth United Tribe, Huo Yuhao did not take a closer look.

Oil, a black, viscous liquid. Ning Yi only knew that Chen Fu called it petroleum. Like coal, it could be burned and its heat energy could be converted into soul power.

Yes, just as the Sun and Moon Empire could convert solar energy into soul power, the Starry Sky Empire no longer needed to boil water. This energy conversion was already possible when Chen Fu's second-generation Ark Core was created. The third-generation Ark Core eliminated the conversion process, directly converting matter into energy. That's why the Starry Sky Empire so desperately craves resources.

At this moment, Ning Yi had only one thought in his mind: a perfect start!

At the same time, his gaze toward Uha became even more benevolent. He hadn't expected that he would find a job for her so soon after landing, which would also greatly boost the employment rate of the Uha tribe.

So he said to Uha, “Chief Uha, we plan to build a factory here, and your people will work for us in exchange for our abundant resources, such as these. Take a look.”

As Ning Yi spoke, he took out a stripped-down version of a basic battle soul device from his storage soul tool and handed it to Uha, telling him to take it with him.

Sufficient desire is needed to stimulate productivity. For example, Ning Yi may not seem to have anything that the Uha tribe can consume right now, but he can create it.

So when Wuha received the War Soul Device containing a basic language pack and a basic shopping mall inside the Dawn Ship, Ning Yi bid farewell to Wuha and headed to the Dawn Army Camp that had already been set up.

"Chief Wuha, what's wrong with you?"

After Ning Yi walked away, the Kunlun people nearby saw that Wu Ha was wearing something that looked like glasses, just like those celestial beings, and stood there stunned. They couldn't help but go up to ask him about it with some concern.

"This thing is like a god!"

Startled awake by his subordinates, Uha finally came to his senses. Inside the Battle Soul Instrument's shopping mall, he saw a vast array of exquisite goods, from small items like food and clothing to large items like fine armor, soul-guided weapons, and even vehicles that could fly using soul power!

All of these require an internal currency called Star Points, which are used by those who call themselves Star People, to exchange for them.

Meanwhile, through the Battle Soul Device, Uha also learned that these points could only be obtained by working for the Star Warriors.

Furthermore, through the Battle Soul Device, he also understood the meaning of working, labor, and salary.

And so, when he came to his senses, the way he looked at his clansmen around him immediately changed.

As someone who understood the meaning of labor and could command his subordinates, he awakened in a certain sense.

Uha believed that his people were the property of his tribe, so if they worked for Xingdou, the wages they received would also be the property of his tribe. As the chief of the tribe, he naturally had the right to distribute these assets.

In this way, Uha can buy all the magical items in the Battle Soul Device in a short period of time and try them out.

So, wearing the rudimentary battle spirit device that was not suitable for daily wear, he ordered all his people to gather in the open space in the center of the tribe. If he wanted to make money while sitting down, he needed to make his people understand the meaning of "working". Only in this way could he make his people work clearly and not cause him trouble.

Uha: You guys! Get to work harder! Me! Get a bigger truck soon!

Unaware that the Battle Soul Device he casually gave away had inexplicably awakened Uha's slave owner consciousness, Ning Yi was holding a meeting with Ju Zi and other members of the leadership team in the main tent of the newly built temporary Dawn Army camp.

“The distances there aren’t very far. With the help of the flying soul tool, we can even set up a simple artificial coal mine and iron mine before tonight. At the same time, while these Kunlun natives are heading there, we can build the roads first,” a construction team leader said to Ning Yi.

A distance of 10 to 20 kilometers is considered very short for a Soul Master.

However, Orange, who had shed her innocent image and regained her resolute and heroic spirit, did not agree with the construction team leader's suggestion: "I think we should give these natives a sense of participation. For example, we can go to the mining area with the natives and at the same time build a smooth road along the way that can be temporarily used by animal power. In this way, when we arrive at the mining area, these natives will have adapted to mining for us, and the road will be completed. When they start transporting ore, we will have time to build the smelting plant."

"I agree with Sister Orange's plan!" Ning Tian, ​​who was next to Orange, was the first to raise his hand in support.

“Yes, I was in too much of a rush.” The construction team leader, who was used to rushing to meet deadlines and deadlines, scratched his head somewhat awkwardly and did not continue to assert his point of view.

At this moment, Ning Yi interrupted them and said, "Friends, this is nothing more than the difference between working one more day and one less day. What I'm hesitating about now is the wages for these natives. Since they provide the lowest level of physical labor, their wages only need to be kept in balance with their standard of living, which is easy to solve."

Higher pay naturally leads to higher living costs, but Ning Yi's concern is: "Is it necessary to strictly enforce labor laws on these natives?"

They are currently in a semi-disconnected state with the Stars, so many decisions made by the Dawn Ship lack ideological guidance, making it easy for them to slip up.

"This is indeed a problem. If everyone is treated the same, given their lack of national consciousness and legal awareness, it feels like they're at a disadvantage." Orange also found this issue somewhat troublesome. To be honest, they didn't want these natives to have the same welfare as them, but they were conflicted because of the terrifying control that [Azure] had over order back in Star Dou.

"How about... old... captain!" Ning Tian, ​​who almost committed a foul, immediately changed his mind as Ning Yi frowned.

"Aren't the subjects of the Starry Sky Law the citizens of Starry Sky?"

"..." Ning Yi paused for a moment after being reminded, then said with some reluctance, "Then let's go with the lowest one! The basic hourly wage is 20, eight hours a day, six days a week, and the rest will be based on performance!"

This Star Points can be considered as an hourly wage of 20 yuan.

Chapter 215: Dawn Ship: What bad luck, we got robbed by the natives! [Please subscribe]

The normal working hours for Xingdou people are usually six to eight hours, with five days on and two days off. Because these people are very efficient with the help of soul tools, and with the blessing of battle soul devices, they are mostly engaged in industries with high added value. Therefore, Ning Yi felt somewhat reluctant to provide these natives with what he considered the worst labor compensation.

A basic salary of 160 Star Dou Points per day is barely enough for a decent meal with friends in their Star Dou realm. Compared to the average daily salary of 700-800 Star Dou Points for the Dawn Ship crew, it's extremely low. Furthermore, the only difference between most Star Dou people and these natives is a Battle Soul Device. As long as they possess a certain level of moral character, Star Dou people wearing Battle Soul Devices with access to a knowledge base don't need to attend school. Because whatever they see, a wealth of information will appear before their eyes under the Battle Soul Device's vision.

Only when these people work in different fields and become proficient, and begin to spontaneously learn the advanced knowledge inside the Battle Soul Device, will the Heavenly Dao Spirit Network gradually grant them higher privileges.

The spiritual power of the Douluo Realm, combined with the Battle Soul Device, greatly increased the lower limit of individual knowledge reserves for Star Dou people.

The reason Chen Fu always says that the Douluo people are a civilization with a very high potential ceiling is that the spiritual power of this world, which is like a "panacea", is the fastest way to transmit information in Chen Fu's understanding.

If we look at the development of a civilization from a macro perspective, then the upper limit of this civilization's development is the contradiction between the total amount of knowledge that the civilization is rapidly developing and the slow information transmission of the brain.

Simply put, when the human brain's rate of receiving knowledge falls short of its rate of generating knowledge, then that civilization can be declared to have reached the end of its development.

The Douluo Continent is a world particularly suitable for a "technological nuclear explosion" because the technological development achievements and basic knowledge of Star Dou can be obtained instantly through the coordination of mental power by the Battle Soul Device, allowing Star Dou people to access Chen Fu's "treasure trove of knowledge".

However, due to the influence of individual heroism and authoritarianism over thousands of years, development here has not gone on the right track. Take Tang San, for example, who is also a wandering soul from the outside world. He spent his entire life trying to establish a comprehensive hegemony, making him a lifelong practitioner of elitism.

After Ning Yi and the others finalized the treatment for these Kunlun natives, time quickly passed. Wuha also explained to his people what working and labor meant, and whether the chieftain naturally had the right and obligation to take away most of their property.

"You..." The next morning, in the open space of the Uha tribe, the Dawn crew was selecting able-bodied young men to follow them to explore the road when Uha mysteriously ran over, saying he wanted to discuss something with Ning Yi.

What Wuha wanted to say was nothing more than a contract system, where Xingdou would give money to Wuha, who would then distribute it and manage the Kunlun people themselves.

Ning Yi was greatly shocked by this and looked at Wuha with a strange expression.

He never expected that this thick-browed, big-eyed fellow would betray his people, who had weathered so many storms with him, so quickly.

At the same time, he secretly warned himself that he must be extremely cautious when distributing Battle Soul Devices in the future.

He was unaware of the dangers of being in such a smart environment until now, when he discovered that the Battle Soul Device he had given away for the sake of communication and management had transformed this seemingly innocent, primitive communist economic leader into a villainous creature that needed to be hung on a streetlamp overnight.

"Okay."

Ultimately, after careful consideration, Ning Yi agreed to Wuha's "self-management" plan.

He concluded by adding, "If possible, you can recruit more people to join your team, and we will still pay you according to the standard price."

Upon hearing this, Uha's dark eyes, almost indistinguishable from black, immediately lit up, and he thanked him profusely, saying, "Okay!"

So he immediately went to discuss some matters with his trusted clansmen.

Seeing Uha walk away, Orange, who was behind Ning Yi, asked him curiously, "Captain, does this count as involving population?"

“That doesn’t count.” Ning Yi immediately interrupted her and reminded her meaningfully, “The Star Combat Technique only governs the Star Combat People.”

"Oh, okay." Orange pouted somewhat sullenly, then glanced at Uha, who was gesturing wildly at the beautiful blue sky for his people, with a slightly pitying look, before saying nothing more.

Soon, Ning Tian and Ju Zi selected a thousand able-bodied men from the Wuha tribe and, along with their thousand-strong pioneering team, began to expand the road from the temporary stronghold to the mine, escorted by a hundred-man wolf rider brigade.

Various construction tools were constantly being used by these Star Pioneer Technicians using their spatial soul guides. To the astonishment of the natives, they were cutting through mountains and building bridges over rivers at an incredibly fast pace. Meanwhile, the young and strong natives, under the command of some of the technicians, were clearing away rubble and debris behind the area. At the same time, they were training the thousand native laborers with the help of Uha's chosen confidants.

Meanwhile, as Ning Tian and his team of over two thousand people were exploring the road ahead, Ning Yi was arranging for the remaining technical staff of the exploration team to prepare for the construction of a deep-water port.

Then, a large number of spatial storage boxes were continuously unloaded from the Dawn ship not far away. Under the mental projection of the ship's onboard spiritual life form [Dawn], the port design blueprints were instantly projected into a three-dimensional form using spiritual energy onto the location selected by the Star Dou technical staff. The remaining technical staff then assembled the various port modules that had already been built by Star Dou in the order programmed in the Battle Soul Device. At the same time, some people were specifically responsible for embedding and connecting the links.

Thanks to the cutting-edge technology of the space soul tool, the Dawn ship has a large number of space storage boxes. The port buildings that need to be matched with the warship were successfully built in Star Dou Dawn Port, and then disassembled into modules so that they can be directly taken out and assembled when needed.

Meanwhile, the Dawn ship also has a large reserve of food, key minerals, and key large-scale precision machinery. Ning Yi's idea was not wrong. If Gu Yuena really accidentally destroyed this ship, Chen Fu could really use the Silver Dragon King to build the Silver Dragon Ship.

Busy times always fly by. The Dawnship's crew spent a day building a brand-new, large port in the center of this excellent harbor near the Uha tribe. Meanwhile, Ning Tian's group had long since disappeared from the Dawnship's sight. It wasn't until evening that a wolf rider returned to report that a paved road had been laid near the coal mine, and they were preparing to set up camp. The mine would be built starting tomorrow.

Paving ten kilometers of road a day, that's pretty fast, right? What a load of rubbish!

The Demon Eye Tree King, the road-paving king of Xingdou, can pave 50 kilometers of roads in a single day!

As soon as this guy stands on the road, all the trees and bushes along the way automatically separate and the soil hardens. The road hardening construction team behind him has to drive their flying soul guides to chase after the progress of the Demon Eye Tree King and desperately catch up!

And so, the crew of the Dawn Ship established a temporary base on the first day after arriving on the Kunlun Continent, a port on the second day, a coal yard on the third day, and an iron ore mine on the fourth day.

until

"Nick! Nick! Look! A big ship! A big ship!"

After a day and night of travel, Laya, Nick, and their group of Kunlun children from nearby tribes finally crossed the last mountain. As soon as they reached the summit, the little girl Laya immediately grabbed Nick's hand and shouted loudly! At the same time, her friends around her all opened their mouths wide, dumbfounded, too shocked to speak.

They stood high on the mountain, about five or six kilometers from the coast, but the steel structures moored in the harbor suddenly and forcefully entered their vision and the world.

From their perspective, the people of the Uha tribe were like ants in front of that super-sized ship, completely unimaginable.

"That's definitely the biggest ship I've ever seen in my life!"

Raya was still shouting loudly, while Nick, who was the most mature person there and was shocked by the huge Dawnship, quickly came to his senses.

He then noticed that people from other tribes, large and small, on the surrounding mountains were also staring in shock at the giant ship on the distant ocean. He also saw a man who seemed to be the chief of the Uha tribe leading a large group of people from other tribes toward another part of the mountains. Some curious people also temporarily followed the strong Kunlun man, who welcomed them all with a happy expression.

'Wow, what a huge ship!' Nick thought to himself. Just as he was about to ask if anyone nearby knew if he could go into the Uha tribe for a closer look, he suddenly heard a piercing horn sound from the sky behind him!

sieve!

Nick, with his keen sense of danger, turned around abruptly and saw a conspicuous little fireball suddenly appear in the originally azure sky!

“That’s an arrow.” Nick, with his keen eyesight, was about to speak in confusion when he was interrupted by a tremendous roar, like a giant beast awakening!

hum! ! !

The powerful shockwave stirred up the seawater, and the earth seemed to tremble as well!

When Nick turned around in horror, his legs went weak and he collapsed to his knees. He saw the steel behemoth awaken!
