Cthulhu Gonfalon

The weather in early spring is still cold, the ice and snow on the ground have not completely melted, and the cold wind that always blows seems to have penetrating power. It can penetrate into the body through thick clothes like steel needles, so people will squat from time to time. .

But now it is the season of the golden vine planting, the farmers wrap themselves as thick as possible, then wave their hoes to dig up the frozen soil, and put the golden vine seeds soaked in the water containing the magic water into the small pits. . There is no need to cover the soil above, because the golden vine sprouts most need sunlight, and everything else is second.

If the climate is relatively warm, this work can be done even for children. However, the northwestern region is different. The soil in the early spring has a little bit of thawing. It is not as hard as a stone in winter, but it is still quite strong. It is often necessary for a person with insufficient strength to plan a shallow pit to put the golden vine seeds into it. The farmers were so busy and sweaty that they couldn’t grow much in an hour.

Fortunately, in the entire growth process of the golden vine, the most difficult thing is to plant. It is a very powerful plant in itself. The ability to adapt to the environment is extraordinary. After planting it, it sprouts. Then, just remember to add magic energy to it every day, you can grow steady and don't worry.

Ordinary crops need to be turned, fertilized, watered, weeded, and caught. These golden vines are basically useless. Its strong roots are able to penetrate the frozen soil, extract enough nutrients and water, the sun can give it enough nutrients, and there is no weeds or pests in the ash forest. If it is not necessary to artificially supplement the magical energy, you can even learn from the farmers in many places. After the seeds are sown, they will not be completely ignored.

However, Jinteng also has huge shortcomings. The first is low yield. The yield of this plant is really low. One acre can only receive about 60 kilograms. The second is that the growth process requires magic energy supply, so ordinary people can't plant it alone. Finally, the taste is very good. Oops, it's worse than the rough rye, it smells like a rustling, and it's awkward. Except for some special dishes, only the real poor will take it as a staple food.

In fact, merchants buy Jinteng, mainly through the magic array to refine it, to obtain the magic essence of sunlight energy. As for the residue after refining, at least it can be used as animal feed. Pigs and cattle are not picky eaters.

Yan Xiong looked at the busy farmers and shook his head.

Jinteng is not a suitable crop, even if it is planted rye is much better than it.

Rye is a common crop in cold regions. Although it requires more manpower than Jinteng, it is much better than Jintuan in both production and taste. If the farmer is attentive, the land is fertile, and the climate is not bad, it is quite common for an acre of land to receive a hundred pounds. If you use rye to grind it into flour, you can make it into a famous coarse wheat cake. If you add some white flour, you can make bread. Not only do poor people like to eat it, but even ordinary middle-class people can also be used as staple food.

Just... If you want to grow rye, the requirements for soil are much higher than Jinteng. Doesn't it mean that there is a difference in the degree of fertility or the ability to resist cold, mainly because the ability of rye to resist negative energy pollution is much weaker than that of the golden vine, and the growth cycle and the golden vine do not completely overlap, so even if you want to mix Kind is not possible.

Throughout the northwestern region, as well as the southern rye town, the soil is less polluted by negative energy and can grow rye.

It is precisely because of this that rye town has become a granary in the northwest region, agriculture and trade developed, and prospered to be able to support elite troops.

Yuxiong hopes that the town of Huishi can develop, so naturally it is necessary to start with agriculture, so that the people in this town can at least be self-sufficient in food - even if it can't, it is not a bad thing to produce more food.

However, the prolific production of grain means that more farmland should be opened up, which means that the scale of the purification circle should be increased.

The Purification Array is a divine power system that must operate on the system of the gods' beliefs. The population of the city of Huishui determines the level of faith it can provide, and the degree of belief determines the size and number of temples it can supply. If there is not enough temple support, the gods placed in the center of the purification circle are nothing more than some furnishings.

This is a problem with chicken or egg first. For those who open up the village, the church that controls the entire village can promote the deepening of faith through coercion, in other words, increase the belief output rate of people. But such a society is not what Yuxiong wants. He really does not feel that there is any progress in a society that even the freedom of thought cannot allow.

So he can only change his mind.

The initial idea is naturally to hollow out the ground and cultivate special mushrooms that can absorb negative energy. This method has been used in the Void Mask Playground and it turns out to be effective and reliable. But there is another problem with this approach. If you want to hollow out the ground and plant special mushrooms on a large scale, it is absolutely impossible for mortals to do it. Even experienced veterans can't afford the kind of labor – know that the negative energy concentration in the ground is completely different from the ground!

Progress cannot fall on the sky, nor can it be given by God. If the progress is not made through the efforts of people's own hands, it will not have the value of widespread promotion, and it will not be able to verify the idea of ​​Yuxiong.

So he considered another way of thinking - the reason why the gray forest has such a strong negative energy, the source comes from the ancient **** corpse buried in the depths of the underground. If he manages to take away the corpse of the ancient gods and cooperate with large-scale purification, it may be able to completely remove the negative energy of the entire ash forest, making it an ordinary cold forest.

This is a big project that can be called earth-shattering. It is extremely difficult and the impact will be great. The most important thing is that Yu Xiong has not been able to find out the origin of the ancient **** who died here, which makes him afraid to rush.

After a death, I don’t know how many years passed, and the energy source continues to emit a lot of negative energy, and even the **** of pollution in this vast forest is simply unimaginable. How dangerous is his corpse? How many powerful gods will be provoked by taking it out? What should I do after I take it out? These are big problems.

Xiongxiong has asked Weiye, who has long-sleeved dances, to help him inquire. Weiye is a big-time expert who eats, drinks, and plays. He always appears in various celebrations. He has a good relationship with any kind of gods--the exception of gods like painful plague. . Whether it is with the old-fashioned law-keeping system, or with the fierce and violent evil system, and the chaotic system with strange brains and strange ideas, He can talk. At least three-quarters of the gods in the Pantheon have had a meal with him, and they are really super big players.

Although there has been no progress for the time being, Yuxiong believes that Vijay will be able to find out the ancient gods who died under the ashes forest sooner or later.

When that time, he will call friends and friends to make a big news!

But that day is still far away, maybe it will take 50 years, a hundred years, or maybe it will be longer. With an endless life, he can wait slowly, but people can't wait that long.

So... still have to think of something else...

For more than half a month, Xiongxiong has been wandering around in Huishi Town. He observed the lives of ordinary people, looked at their shortcomings, and wondered how they could make their living standards improve and rack their brains.

If it weren't for him that he had no hair now, perhaps for half a month, he had lost a lot of hair and made his head show the trend of the Mediterranean.

His meditation finally paid off. One day, when he was hiding in the mine and watching the miners working hard, they finally got inspiration.

A few hours later, he found Ferrex and took out a design.

"...It's a big project!" Felix studied the design carefully and praised it.

This is indeed a big project. Xiongxiong plans to excavate four oblique tunnels outside the town of Huishi and plant special mushrooms in the tunnel. The temperature in the ground is high enough to allow special mushrooms to grow, and as the mushroom grows and grows, the concentration of negative energy around it will decrease. At this time, you can dig a deeper tunnel nearby and plant special mushrooms in deeper positions. The magic of the previous special mushroom harvesting, refining the negative energy of the negative energy... This cycle is equivalent to artificially creating a vein with negative energy essence outside the town of Pyrox.

Over time, when the underground veins in this area are deep enough, it can be developed horizontally, and a special mushroom growing area that is criss-crossed in the ground is formed to form a huge “underground mining area”.

On the technical level, this idea is not difficult, it is nothing more than a lot of manpower. However, Jindeng planting does not occupy much manpower. Huihua Town itself has many skilled miners, so it is easy to say.

It’s just that this “artificial vein” investment is relatively large, and it will take a long time from the start of construction to the beginning. If there is not enough financial resources, there is no way to support this plan.

Moreover, even if the artificial veins are successful, the special mushroom containing a large amount of negative energy can be continuously harvested, and the harvesting process is also dangerous, and the special mushrooms obtained are not refined by ordinary people. This in turn requires a fairly high level of magician and ample manpower.

Fortunately... these are not a problem for the city of Pyrotech, which is already in the construction of the magic school.

"This plan is very good. As long as there is sufficient manpower support, the entire ash forest can be transformed into a huge negative energy vein." Felix said, "I think... you really found this piece of black." The death forest glows the way!"

Yan Xiong scratched his head with his tentacles and smiled happily.

Although it has not been able to solve the food problem, but with a reliable source of finance, the renaissance of the town of Hui Shi will certainly be on the right track faster!
