Chapter 257 Prepare to Move
Raven 12345 patiently explained to Hao Ren some matters needing attention regarding the race's great migration. Many things were new to a rookie like him, and the elves themselves might have overlooked them, which surprised Hao Ren. In his mind, Raven 12345 had always been a carefree and unreliable person, but now her serious instructions were like a different person. He subtly expressed his curiosity, and Raven 12345 chuckled, "Aha, I'm usually a bit easygoing, but I don't drop the ball on my job—I can't let the races under my rule die in a silly accident, can I?"
Hao Ren listened carefully to the goddess sister's instructions, noting down the details that could easily lead to casualties. He realized that it was necessary to inform Raven 12345 in advance: many details were unheard of, and if no one reminded him, he probably wouldn't have thought that there were so many things to pay attention to when moving an entire race.
"...Pay attention to large-scale plagues caused by foreign pathogens. Let them first establish an inspection and quarantine environment. With their technical level, they should be able to quickly complete adaptive modifications, and you can submit requests for assistance in this regard to other inspectors; pay attention to solar halo syndrome, which is a disease that many carbon-based creatures are prone to after transferring from one star system to another because they are not adapted to the radiation of the new star. Even if there are subtle differences in the atmosphere and star intensity, it is unbearable for many mortal creatures. Discuss with their technicians how to deal with it; pay attention to chronic diseases caused by changes in gravity and geomagnetic environment. It usually isn't rapidly fatal, but it will produce a large number of physically weak and physiologically defective individuals in about one or two generations; remind them to establish a new technological development model as soon as possible to prevent excessive technological discontinuity; let them first restore normal ecological coexistence activities such as agriculture, which is a quick way to integrate into the new environment..."
Raven 12345's suggestions were carefully recorded. After listing them, there were more than a hundred items. Some of them could be found in the inspector's manual, but many were things that no one would have thought of, obviously experience she had accumulated from her long observation of mortal races. Hao Ren felt that the most meaningful thing today was finally seeing the goddess sister's non-silly side—so she can do serious things after all...
"Alright, that's all about the great migration. I can only tell you the precautions. The specific operations are up to you and the technical experts among those elves," Raven 12345 changed the subject later. "Actually, I also want to confirm some things with you."
Hao Ren was stunned: "Ah? Go ahead."
"Regarding the 'Tenant Life Consumption Reimbursement Application' you recently submitted, I just don't understand it," Raven 12345 sounded quite confused. "I can understand reimbursing food, clothing, housing, and transportation, but why are there six chairs in the list? Does that husky often destroy furniture?"
Hao Ren felt a little guilty: "...Once I didn't pay attention to the kid, and Dou Dou bit off one leg of all the chairs overnight..."
"Uh, then what's the matter with your cat's medical expenses? Theoretically, this is not reimbursed..."
"Dou Dou beat up Gun," Hao Ren's forehead was sweating. "Of course, it's okay if this is not reimbursed, I just wrote it down casually."
"Okay, this will also be reimbursed for you, then what about the microwave oven?"
"Becky slashed it with a knife..." Hao Ren felt that he couldn't go on. He himself knew that there were a lot of magical things on the reimbursement application he submitted. Others would never have imagined how these things could become daily necessities for tenants, but only he himself understood what kind of creatures he was raising in his house—he still had two bottles of sunscreen specially purchased for Vivian's bats that he hadn't reported, because he felt that that item was already insane enough.
Raven 12345 was silent for a long time before speaking: "Okay, it's all reimbursed for you, I suddenly feel that you are not easy either..."
The communication was cut off, and Hao Ren lay on the table and let out a long sigh, deeply agreeing with Raven 12345's last sentence. Then he ran to the window and looked at the city, and easily found Lily's figure: a three-story-high white husky was as eye-catching as it could be in this gray city. She was now busy helping the locals clear the rubble of buildings, wearing a bunch of sturdy ropes and dragging building waste weighing dozens of tons to an open space for stacking recyclables. After the city collapsed, it was impossible to use large equipment such as aerial tractors or anti-gravity pads in many places, and it could only rely on primitive manpower and ground machinery. Lily's trip really helped the locals a lot. At the same time, you could also see Vivian's active figure: the bat swarm in the air carrying brick and tile debris should be her.
Looking at Lily dragging a large pile of things and running back and forth excitedly, Hao Ren couldn't help but sigh: "As expected of an ancestral husky, professional sledding..."
Even if these elves were to move, it couldn't be solved in a short time. The normal order of survival on Sunrise Island should be restored as soon as possible, so Hao Ren did not prevent Lily and Vivian from helping the locals with disaster relief. Later, he and Izhaks also ran over to help for a while, exhausting the last of their energy, and then each returned to their room and slept tiredly until noon the next day.
As soon as he got up, Hao Ren heard Hilda and Wim's voices from the hall outside the room. He quickly put on his clothes and ran out, and found that Vivian and Izhaks had woken up earlier than him, and it seemed that they had been chatting with Hilda and her son for a while.
"Good morning, I hope you are used to living here," Hilda stood up and greeted Hao Ren, "The conditions here are not as good as your home."
"Uh, it's actually pretty good," Hao Ren shook his still dizzy head. A whole day of hard work yesterday plus fourteen consecutive hours of hard sleep made him still a little confused, "Hasn't Lily gotten up yet?"
Vivian casually replied: "Went out for a run. It's unrealistic to keep a husky in the room for an hour after sunrise."
Hao Ren oh-ed in a daze, and looked at Hilda and Wim: "If you want to move your entire clan, how big of a meeting do you need to hold?"
Hilda and Wim were stunned at the same time: "Ah?"
"You haven't told them yet?" Hao Ren looked at Vivian, then tapped his head, "Seems like I overslept a bit, give me some ice to sober me up."
Vivian raised her hand and threw a ball of ice on Hao Ren's face: "I told you to go to bed earlier yesterday, but you insisted on working with us. Can you compare your biological clock with a vampire? I haven't told them yet, it's better for you to tell them about this."
Hao Ren really didn't expect Vivian to be so ruthless. He was shocked by this miniature blizzard on the spot, and stared at Hilda, who was still confused, with his eyes wide open, with ice slag on his face and unusually energetic: "I'm awake—gather all your elders and ministers, and if there are any folk representatives, gather them together as well. In short, call everyone who can manage things in your Aerym society. I agreed with my superiors and several partners yesterday and decided to solve the problem of your resource scarcity from the root."
Hilda's eyes slowly widened, and her breathing couldn't help but quicken: "The plan is..."
"I want to confirm one thing first: in order for the Aerym civilization to continue, you can pay any price, right?" Hao Ren raised a finger, "I have already agreed on my side, but I still need to confirm your opinion, otherwise I will just be busy myself."
Wim didn't know enough about this group of mysterious strangers, and subconsciously became nervous when he heard this: "Any price is..."
"Give up everything here, but you can take away technology and basic equipment, and the whole clan will go to a resource-rich but ecologically primitive place to reclaim wasteland—in the initial stage of reclamation, your technology may regress by more than a hundred years, and some people may die from infectious diseases and environmental changes. You need a huge social price to rebuild the basic industry and production chain, but you will get what you dream of: abundant resources, a close enough Proxima Centauri and intra-system planets, real sky and land."
Izhaks couldn't help but touch Hao Ren's arm: "Why do I think your way of speaking is similar to those compatriots in my hometown who specialize in bewitching people?"
Hao Ren chuckled: "Have you heard of Amway?"
Izhaks: "..."
"Throw them in your hometown, and teaching them how many anti-fraud guides is not enough."
At this time, Wim hadn't reacted yet, but Hilda had already guessed the truth: "You said you want to give us..."
"It is indeed not easy to find a suitable ecological planet in a short time," Hao Ren smiled and looked at Hilda, "But coincidentally, I suddenly remembered that I have a good planet in my hand, and I also know a long-distance runner who can pull me a fleet that is enough to immigrate ten billion people..."
Hilda and Wim's expressions were like this o-o!!
They probably have never heard of such a generous thing in their lives!
