Driven out of my home in the apocalypse, I built a fortress in return.

Chapter 448 Collecting Beast Excrement!

"I'll explain what I do next. If we use preservatives, this canned fruit can be preserved for at least six months, or even a year in Shenzhen..."

Upon hearing this, all the women gasped, finding it hard to believe that something could be so magical.

"Actually, this is already very good. 7-15 days is a long time!"

After lunch, the women all went to take a nap.

Although, given their physical condition, they could go several days without rest without any problems.

However, Xiao Yu reminded them that they must maintain their human habits.

Otherwise, as their strength grows, humanity will abandon all its habits.

Sooner or later, they will abandon the most basic human emotions and desires. What kind of human would they be then?

Most of the fantasy novels Xiao Yu read in his previous life were like this.

Those super-strong individuals, having witnessed the vicissitudes of life, have taken everything in stride.

The separations of life and death, the love and affection between mortals, are utterly insignificant to them.

For the sake of cultivation, some even abandon their wives and children, and forsake all love and affection?

This was something Xiao Yu found hard to accept.

Since you don't care about anything anymore, you have no emotions or desires.

Then why do you still want to live?

Why bother cultivating immortality? Is it just for the sake of survival?

In any case, Xiao Yu couldn't understand it at all.

After the meal, only Honglian remained by Xiao Yu's side.

The two took a walk in the courtyard of the city lord's mansion.

"Lord of the City!" At this moment, Chenlong arrived with his wife, Xiaoyu.

What do you need me for?

Lady Honglian sent a telepathic message, asking him to come to the City Lord's Mansion when he goes hunting in the afternoon.

"I have something to entrust to you, and it's very important," Xiao Yu said earnestly.

"Please give your orders, Lord City Lord!" Chen Long immediately stood at attention and said with a serious expression.

Xiao Yu waved his hand and said, "Go collect the dung of the ferocious beasts."

"Collecting the excrement of ferocious beasts?" Not only was Chenlong puzzled, but Honglian and Xiaoyu were also completely bewildered.

Chenlong hesitated for a moment before asking, "Lord City Lord, may I ask why? I should at least tell the brothers."

After all, they are soldiers.

Although obeying orders is one's duty.

But they went to collect feces.

Even without a reason, the city lord's prestige will be affected.

“After Longcheng was expanded, the newly transported soil became too sandy.”

Xiao Yu was always very easygoing and tolerant towards his subordinates, as long as they were capable of working, treating them like friends. So, he patiently explained, "The dung of ferocious beasts can nourish the land and make the soil more nutritious, so that good crops can grow."

"Oh, I see."

Upon hearing this, the group suddenly realized what was happening.

Honglian and Xiaoyu both frequently visit the planting area.

They also know that manure can help plants grow better.

After all, this was agricultural knowledge that Xiao Yu had taught him before.

The sewage system in Longcheng now leads to a septic tank, which is used to produce fertilizer.

Previously, Longcheng's arable land area was not very large.

The soil there is quite good, so it doesn't need much fertilizer.

But now, a large amount of soil that is severely sandy has suddenly been added.

The original small septic tanks were obviously not enough.

After all, the number of people currently living in Dragon City, including those in the outer city, is only three or four thousand.

"Rest assured, Lord City Lord, I will definitely handle it well," Chenlong nodded and assured him.

He had seen it before in the wilderness: where there was a lot of plant droppings, trees grew vigorously.

Therefore, I roughly understand the reason behind it.

After Chenlong left, Xiaoyu said, "Lord City Lord, the person you requested has been recruited."

In the morning, as soon as Xiaoyu received Honglian's message, she immediately went to recruit people.

First, they posted recruitment ads in the commercial street, and then transferred a group of people from other departments.

There are some wealthy people still living in Longcheng.

However, the cost of living in Longcheng is indeed a bit high, and there are too many things to do there.

Therefore, although these people did not directly join Dragon City.

But if you want to live in Dragon City, you have to find a way to make money.

Those with strong abilities would go out with the city defense army to hunt ferocious beasts.

But for those with less ability, staying in Longcheng to find a job is naturally the best option.

However, if these people want to join Dragon City, that's a different story.

"In that case, let's go," Xiao Yu said calmly.

There are just too many places in Longcheng that need rubber.

For example, bicycles and canned goods require rubber for mass production.

A moment later, the group arrived at the rubber factory.

"Lord City Lord!" There were already more than a dozen people waiting at the factory gate, and they immediately bowed.

Xiao Yu nodded and led everyone inside.

Then, he used his ability to move the rubber from the city lord's mansion over.

"The process of making rubber is not difficult. I will demonstrate it once, and you can write down the steps."

"Yes, Lord City Lord!"

Upon hearing Xiao Yu's words, everyone immediately nodded.

The person in charge of the rubber factory that Xiaoyu found was a middle-aged man, who immediately took notes.

This person, like the other department heads, was formerly from Maple Leaf Tribe and Divine Weapon City.

After all, both forces had been following Xiao Yu for a relatively long time.

Xiao Yu is constantly improving, and everyone else is also learning and growing.

Over the past few months, some people have already grown up.

"The first step is to harvest the rubber. If you don't understand something, ask someone else."

The people who used to harvest rubber in the rubber plantations were also rubber workers, and they didn't have to pay for the harvesting process.

"The second step is to clean the impurities from the rubber. Now follow me. Each of you will have a strainer and a clean crystal bucket..." As Xiao Yu spoke, he conjured more than a dozen crystal buckets.

He took a large colander with a diameter of 30cm and attached it to the mouth of a crystal bucket.

Then, pour the rubber from the crystal bucket in front of you into a strainer.

A large amount of milky white rubber liquid flowed rapidly into the crystal bucket below.

After the entire bucket of rubber was poured out, some impurities were left in the strainer.

"Okay." Upon seeing this, the middle-aged man immediately took out his notebook and wrote it down.

Then, he led a group of workers, each with a large strainer, to begin filtering the rubber slurry.

During this process, everyone also discovered that there were many rice-grain-sized particles in the rubber liquid.

It needs to be filtered several times to remove all these particles.

Everyone remembered that filtering the rubber several times was necessary to produce higher quality rubber.

"The third step is to stir it thoroughly until it solidifies completely..."

After filtering, Xiao Yu picked up a wooden stick about half his height, poked it into a crystal bucket filled with rubber, and stirred it vigorously.

The middle-aged man took notes again and led his men to do the same.

Soon, after everyone had been stirring for several minutes...

Thick, lumpy substances gradually appeared in the rubber inside the crystal bucket.

Until it could no longer be stirred, and the entire rubber solidified.
