Maleria

The Ostrich project was in full development, they had noticed that like land hens, ostriches lay unfertilized eggs every day and each one could lay up to 5 or 6, they also noticed that in the herd there was only 1 male, for what 19 laying ostriches would have.

Ostrich eggs were delicious and could be prepared in many ways, they soon became a delicacy in the village, luckily they were quite large, each egg could easily be eaten by 5 or 6 people, on the other hand, the ostriches were still hostile apparently it would not be easy to tame them.

Luckily there was a litter of fertilized eggs, William had planned to raise them to tame them, from what I hear from Giso, in this world most creatures had a fairly short infant phase of weeks or a few months.

Only the humanoid species would take years to grow, perhaps it was natural selection doing its job, apparently it was a very hostile world where survival was quite complicated for wild species.

As time passed, life in the village improved, William and his brothers quickly gained the trust and respect of the villagers, one day Giso offered William the position of leader, no one in the village objected, after all had provided protection, food, and shelter.

After some time of thinking about it William agreed to be the head of the village, after all they had already decided to make their foothold in this world and it was something they couldn't do alone, so taking the village worked for their plans.

Once the offspring of mountain ostriches were born, Leo was in charge of raising them, Leo was an animal lover, his frustrated dream was to work with animals, for that he would have to study something related to the same at a university, however, he ended up entering in the army.

Leo had already started to write in a digital book all the behavior of the Mountain Ostriches, he was really excited, a new world full of all kinds of fantastic creatures waiting to be studied.

Therefore, he gladly took on the role of surrogate mother for the ostrich hatchlings, apparently they had a childish behavior very much like land hens, and soon Leo had 35 ostrich hatchlings following him up and down, he even had to build a small cabin to sleep with their new adopted children.

At this time the village was dedicated to the extraction of salt, fishing and ostrich farming, William wanted to develop the village in many different fields, for now they followed a kind of tribal system where the chief determined how resources and work were divided of each individual.

It was not the best system, but it was the only one that the citizens knew, William did not plan to stay with this system, but first he had to increase the population of the village and establish a solid economic system, for this he had to develop multiple companies.

Because William and his brothers came from the army, they were used to planning everything in advance, so they had already decided on the direction to take, they first needed to establish a solid and self-sufficient system since they had already secured to some extent food, water and housing, now they had to establish different companies to exploit resources and in turn work with these resources to obtain different goods to improve daily life.

This would also allow you to trade with other towns and cities, by increasing the town's fame it can bring some danger, but it would also attract new villagers which would increase the manpower which would be necessary for future expansion.

For now they had salt as currency and they were already amassing a good amount to travel to another town in search of cattle, as for mining resources for now the drones will continue exploring, but apparently the mountain range was full of wild creatures so that they would have to prepare to start a mining company.

Although there were many edible fruits, they grew on huge trees that were difficult to harvest and take advantage of, a field had already been prepared to start planting different fruit trees, but it would be something in the future.

The only fruit that had caught William's attention was one known as malderia, malderia was a watermelon-like fruit that grew from a bush and there were many all over the plain, these fruits were sweet but poisonous to humans.

Henry had done some chemical tests on many fruits under William's orders, and discovered that these fruits contained cyanide, so if eaten raw they would easily cause the death of a human.

However, removing the cyanide with heat was easy but the fruit would spoil easily, however, if the juice was extracted from the maleria, it was heated to remove the cyanide and dried, sugar could be obtained, in this world the closest thing to the sugar was honey.

Honey was a hard luxury to come by, as bees were terrifying creatures measuring 1 meter long and living in large colonies, few people would dare to mess with a beehive.

Apart from the sugar, the shell of the maleria was made of a strong vegetable fiber, which could be processed and used as sewing thread, therefore, William had prepared an entire field of this fruit, the villagers were confused to see that his boss was planning to plant malerias.

However, when they tasted the sugar they were surprised, they really could get something so wonderful from a poisoned fruit, Giso along with other villagers were appointed to take care of the field of malerias, because the villagers didn't have to worry about food and safety. they faithfully obeyed William so none of them complained, rather they were happy they had tasted sugar and they hoped to be able to harvest a lot of malice so they could taste more sugar again.

Roy was the friendliest of the group and despite his imposing size, he easily won the hearts of the village children, he had noticed the simplicity of the villagers, they were happy to have food and feel safe, none of them had plans or dreams to fulfill, they only survived day to day.

Although it seemed like a quiet and simple life, Roy had lived something similar with his brothers in the orphanage and knew how sad he was, he wanted to change this kind of thinking, he wanted the villagers to have dreams and aspirations.

So he started reading books and telling stories to the children of the village, he also managed to get a projector so they could watch movies and series, but he soon realized that most of the children and villagers could not read or write, and did not understand For nothing the movies and series of the earth.

So he began to give writing and reading lessons, the villagers saw this knowledge as something useless, but Roy did not think so and insisted that at least the children take this type of class, in this way the first public school of this world.

At first, some parents saw the effort as useless, but when they noticed that they could take 6 hours off from their children, it began to seem like a good idea, then when they saw that their children began to improve some behaviors and become a little more obedient, they fully accepted the idea. school idea.

Even many villagers began to attend special courses on weekends to learn to read and write, Roy had the support of all his brothers, they agreed that education was the main pillar of any culture, so some would help teaching certain classes, such as math and basic science.

Roy was planning to train some teenagers to become teachers, so books were specially prepared for them, now it was only a matter of time, so that the school could run efficiently.
