“Come, learn from me. First, use the plowshare to turn the soil, then put the seeds in.”
“The spacing is 30 centimeters, each corn plant should be 20 centimeters apart, and fertilizer should be applied every 10 days. Understand?”
A few days later.
Outside of Constantinople, in the designated agricultural area, Ning Hai and Ping Hai were teaching the little Yellow Chickens how to farm.
The two sisters bent over, one hand holding seeds, the other holding tools, demonstrating and explaining as they went.
If any uninformed onlookers saw this scene, they would only exclaim: "I woke up suddenly, someone is teaching chickens to farm?!"
A group of Manchu were gathered around the two sisters, looking at them with a cute expression.
“……”
"Do you understand?"
After finishing a demonstration, Ning Hai asked the Yellow Chicken.
"Jī!"
The Yellow Chicken nodded.
"You try it."
Ning Hai handed the Yellow Chicken a handful of seeds.
The Manchu pretended to think for a few seconds, then swallowed the seeds whole.
Dang——
"Jī!"
Ning Hai gave it a rap on the head.
"I didn't tell you to eat!!! Learn to farm with me!!!"
She pulled out a small dried fish from her pocket.
"Farm, get fish to eat, steal seeds, get beaten, understand?"
"Jī?"
After several beatings, the Yellow Chicken roughly understood the cause and effect of these events.
Every time it ate seeds, it got punched, and every time it put seeds in the ground, it got a small dried fish.
The Manchu's intelligence wasn't very high, but their instinct to seek profit and avoid harm made them start learning to dig the ground with their claws, and even use tools to plow.
"Is this Pavlov's dog? Conditioned reflex training?!"
The surrounding shipgirls were bewildered.
They felt that the two sisters' teaching methods seemed very advanced, because previously in the port area, no one had ever thought that these silly and cute Yellow Chickens could farm.
"Hmm..."
Ping Hai looked at Ning Hai training the Yellow Chickens like she was training dogs, and hugged her arms, lost in thought.
"Manual labor is still too slow. Otherwise, we should find Ming Shi to build some plows or something, so that the Manchu can drive them themselves?"
Thinking about the future where the Yellow Chickens would be driving tractors and harvesting crops in a vast plain, the future style of the port seemed to be quite unique.
...
On the other side.
While Ning Hai and Ping Hai were busy training the Yellow Chickens.
Lu Chen opened the overview interface for the first time in a while, wanting to see how his residence was developing.
【Civilization Overview】
【Civilization Type: Technology Civilization】
【Technological Level: Pre-Space Age】
【Members: 331】
【Species: Human, Shipgirl】
【Domain: 5220 square kilometers】
From the time he was thrown here, it had only been less than two months, and he was already running into the Pre-Space Age.
-- Or rather, the Magic Age.
The technology of Azur Lane is difficult to strictly call "technology".
It seems that starting naked isn't too bad, as long as you have a good neighbor.
More than 300 members, probably just himself + Shipgirls + the number of Brits, the Manchu were considered pets and not counted.
The domain of more than 5,000 square kilometers should be the newly built naval base of the Vanguard Fleet, as well as a surrounding stretch of sea.
Cities on land have not yet begun to be built, otherwise the area would be even larger.
Of course, the fastest progress is in technological level.
Relying on the support of the Azur Lane world, it has directly crossed the Bronze Age, the Steam Age, the Electrical Age, etc., and entered the Pre-Space Age.
The Space Age is just one step away.
As for whether there are more advanced civilizations above it, it is unknown.
"Huh?"
He suddenly noticed that there was a new icon for a bestiary under the Species tab.
"There's a bestiary too?"
Lu Chen was curious.
He clicked on the "Shipgirl" bestiary.
【Azur Lane Shipgirl】
Born from Mind Cubes, a species that exists between artificial intelligence and magical creatures.
With ocean adaptability, they are skilled in naval warfare, most of them belong to the Lawful Good alignment, and they can effectively utilize various equipment from the tech side.
"Interesting."
The bestiary is equivalent to giving himself a prompt, allowing him to easily understand the characteristics of other species.
Shipgirls like to stay at sea, and their combat strength mostly comes from their ship outfits. Replacing them with more advanced weapons can increase their strength, they are creatures belonging to the tech side.
Lawful Good, it is easy to understand.
Shipgirls are generally very innocent, even though some like Akagi, Taihou, and Ron in the Sakura Empire and Iron Blood are just a bit bad-tempered, they are not considered evil.
"Are there any other creatures?"
Lu Chen noticed that many other bestiaries were grayed out, not yet collected.
"Elves, Heroic Spirits, Valkyries, Herrschers, Magical Girls, Cat Girls, Dragon Girls, Kivotos Superhumans..."
"Your bestiary has a lot of species in it?!"
【Collecting a certain number of species can unlock special rewards.】
【Please work hard to develop your civilization, expand your empire's domain, and enrich species diversity~】
The system's light voice sounded.
“……”
"Is this like a Wife Pokemon?"
...
"Wait."
Looking at the statistics panel, Lu Chen suddenly remembered something.
The initial mission.
Recruit 20 people and establish a civilization.
He has a residence and people.
There are at least hundreds of people here, even excluding the Brits and the Manchu, the Vanguard Fleet has 30 shipgirls.
Why hasn't the mission been completed?
Don't shipgirls count? Then this mission can't be done.
"Hey? Hello? Is there a bug in the calculation?"
He immediately asked.
【Confirming】
The mechanical voice sounded.
【Mission Objective 1, recruit 20 companions in your residence, completed.】
【Mission Objective 2, establish a civilization, incomplete.】
"What do you mean?"
Lu Chen was puzzled.
【Your current residence lacks distinctiveness compared to other civilizations.】
【Please upgrade your colony to a formal civilization.】
