Struggle in the Steam Age

After completing the basic agreement, Lawrence immediately took out a bottle of Frans sparkling wine presented by those people on the island when he left Vieques last time, filling everyone present with a glass, and then everyone raised it together. The wine glasses cheered for the birth of the new industry.

Because now everyone knows that in the current situation, the Roka fish people are responsible for the cultivation of the most important raw materials, and humans are in charge of another key production technology model that allows everyone to cooperate with each other, interdependence and obtain profits together. . In this way, the entire industry can be sustained for a long time.

"By the way, I have a suggestion." Lawrence said after everyone toasted. "We can give this thing a new name. A name like algin is too common. At least it is not suitable as a trade name. And I I feel that the discovery of this new material is just the beginning. I believe we will discover countless similar materials in the future."

"To be precise, this should be the first time we humans have discovered this type of non-supernatural material." Nora floating in the air said seriously.

"In fact, similar extraordinary materials are not few, but due to the cost issue, there is no way to use them on a large scale. Our new material just fills the gap, so a loud name is very necessary."

"Yes, a loud name does help the sale of these products." Miller nodded in approval. Everyone knows the importance of advertising in this business society, even scholars like Miller. exception. "But what is a better name for this kind of thing?"

"I think we can call all this type of plastic, which means that it has a strong plasticity material." After thinking about it, Lawrence used the existing words plasticity and material to take a part of the roots this time. New words, then explained. "As for this plastic, I think it can be called Miller plastic."

"This is really—" Miller immediately showed an expression of excitement after hearing what Lawrence said, and even lost consciousness for a moment. Because he didn't expect that Lawrence, the actual controller of the island, would be willing to grant himself this supreme glory in his opinion, but soon he reacted and declined such a naming.

The reason for the refusal is also very simple. Miller believes that it is only good luck that he can make such research results. This achievement should be mainly attributed to the complete set of scientific research systems on the island, and he has also obtained a plastic patent. The profits generated are sufficient as compensation. So in the end, he proposed to name this new material as New Sauer Plastics.

The plastics industry, a new industry, obviously has a bright future. Therefore, under the organization of Lawrence, the leisure Roka fish people soon planted these new Sauer plastics on the coasts that humans cannot use. Seaweed, this is a very good job for fish people.

After all, after arriving on the island, all the work of the fish people started around rebuilding their habitat. Fortunately, for the people of Lorca, it is not difficult to build a suitable area for living, especially after obtaining a large amount of materials and tools provided by the island, the labor efficiency is greatly increased. So it took only a short time for the Lorca to complete the settlement.

But in this way, the Roka fish people are now in a kind of confusion. Because although there are many places where humans need to hire them, at most they will only hire 1/5 of the idle population. However, it will take some time to start work on various plant cultivation and aquatic animal breeding.

It should be understood that the Lorca fish people used to hunt and gather for a living. Although there have been some attempts at planting and breeding, they were only small-scale activities of various tribes and did not expand on a large scale. It's just that they concealed this when they notified Lawrence about this matter before, and they didn't tell Lawrence about it until a period of time on the island.

Green Face later told Lawrence that they did this because they didn't know what Lawrence was at the beginning, so they chose to lie in this regard to avoid Lawrence driving them away or rejecting them.

But later they discovered that Lawrence was not the kind of cruel human lord, and the overall atmosphere on the island was also very harmonious. So this told Lawrence their truth.

However, this has also brought some troubles to Lawrence. The biggest problem is that it is still difficult to convert small-scale planting and breeding into large-scale intensive operation. Therefore, they need a certain amount of time to complete the conversion work in this regard. During this time, the materials they lacked were naturally made up by the island.

This also means that in one or two quarters, this group of Loka fish people may always need human support to be able to survive, because they cannot be unrestrained in order to maintain the sustainable development of the surrounding environment. The hunting or gathering is as large as before.

In addition, the previous large-scale slaughter of Sahua fish also led to a very small proportion of young and middle-aged males among the Roka fish people who are still alive. Therefore, they naturally do not have enough people to complete such risky businesses as those fishing boats go to far sea fishing or offshore seabed exploration.

Because according to tradition, only male Roka fish will go out hunting and carry out dangerous exploration work, while female Roka fish people are mainly responsible for the same important gathering work and the production of important items such as weapons, clothing, and potions. . In this way, those female Loka murlocs who lack experience in field activities are naturally not suitable for being invested in important exploratory work.

In this way, a large number of female Loka murlocs will naturally become unemployed, and the resources on the island are consumed in vain, but the contribution that cannot be matched is a very bad thing for both receiving and providing funding. Therefore, Green Face communicated to Lawrence many times because of such things, hoping to help them find enough jobs.

This is why Miller was able to hire a large number of Loka murlocs to help him collect specimens in the sea. In addition, Loka murlocs also took over various underwater tasks, similar to checking kelp and seaweed. The planting of fish and the fish in the cage, or the inspection of the underwater parts of the docks, dams and other projects.

However, these tasks obviously do not require too much manpower and lack longevity. So when the Lawrence agreement planted this kind of seaweed that can make new Sauer plastics, people reacted very positively. After all, the job of planting this seaweed is not very heavy, and those female Roca can also accomplish this kind of work.

And it's different from the edible seaweed they had hoped to grow before~www.ltnovel.com~ These seaweeds are much simpler to grow. According to the research of the priests of the Agricultural Church, when planting, it is enough to choose the right place and pay attention to controlling the number of certain crustaceans that like to feed on this seaweed. It does not require much field management.

These seaweeds will mature within two or three months after planting, and then people can pick from these giant seaweeds that look like small trees two to three meters high under water every month. 1/10 offshoot.

The lifespan of each giant seaweed is generally five or six years, but after three years, these early yields will decrease. At that time, you will need to remove a whole seaweed and plant a new one.

According to the priests of the Agricultural Church, this large seaweed can not only provide the raw materials for the new Sauer plastics, but also improve the surrounding seabeds that seem somewhat desolate.

When these seaweeds settle in, more plankton and smaller aquatic plants and algae will grow with the help of these giant seaweeds, which will further attract a variety of animals.

In other words, planting such giant algae can not only obtain the raw materials needed on the island, but also make the entire sea area more vibrant, which is a kind of embodiment of circular agriculture.
