Chapter 686 Fairy Food Plan
Falling Moon Territory, the sea area near Rhode Island.
A tattered garbage ship was swaying on the sea.
Because it was close to the garbage island, the sea here was covered with oil spots of various colors.
Black oil, corpse water, juice left by rotting food, sewage from various factories, alchemical waste liquid discharged by the Mage Tower, and the elements of the periodic table, fire, water, wind, ice, thunder, dark light, all circulated endlessly in the sea, filling the sea with an unbearable sour smell.
However, the captain of the garbage ship, Wally, did not wear a mask, but stood at the bow, facing the sea breeze, with an intoxicated expression on his face.
"This smell is the smell of wealth and glory, the smell of a brilliant future.
Shashasha, so fragrant, so fragrant!"
Wally's eyes were red, revealing his big yellow teeth, and he opened his mouth to breathe violently.
When Qi Ge first came to the garbage island, he told Wally, the only boatman on the garbage island, that as long as he could adapt to the stench of the garbage island and smell the fragrance from the stench, he would accept Wally as his subordinate.
This kind of difficult request was impossible to complete, but Wally had already been desperate, and he had to bite the bullet no matter how difficult the request was.
Facts have proved that the potential of organisms is unlimited.
Wally actually adapted to the smell of the garbage island after fainting dozens of times.
Qi Ge was also a little amused when he heard the news.
He secretly admired that this Wally was a tough guy.
At this point, Qi Ge took Wally in, but he did not let Wally contact his core circle, but only asked Wolfs to send a few men to connect with Wally.
So, Wally's shabby garbage boat was replaced by a luxury giant cruise ship, and his identity changed from a boatman to [Minister of Health of Falling Moon Territory].
This position comes with a magician tower, and the salary is three times the average salary of Falling Moon Territory, and it is guaranteed to be profitable regardless of drought or flood, and there are some rights to recruit and allocate cleaning staff.
This step to heaven made Wally very happy.
He specially found someone to customize a statue of Xingfeng for worship. He would kneel down and worship every morning and before going to bed to express his loyalty.
Qi Ge also made many arrangements around Rhodes Island through Wally.
"Sniff!"
Wally sniffed and smelled the familiar fishy smell from the sea breeze. He immediately looked at the sea and blew the conch in his hand.
"Woo~~~"
The melodious conch sounded, and soon a large row of black bubbles emerged from the sea.
"Splash!"
The bubbles burst, and a group of fishmen with green skin riding black slimes emerged from the sea.
"Wow!" The red-skinned fishman in the lead raised his harpoon to Wally and uttered a non-standard Asian common language.
"Where is the thing?"
Wally clapped his hands excitedly and shouted:
"Old fisherman, I will send you the things you want right away."
Wally blew a whistle, and the goblins on the garbage ship threw down a large row of well-packaged packages one after another.
At the command of the red-skinned fishman, the fishmen and slimes surrounded the garbage ship and dragged all the materials wrapped tightly in waterproof cloth into the water.
"Jiligua~ Very good!"
The red-skinned fishman nodded, threw the harpoon in his hand, and accurately inserted it into the deck under Wally's feet.
"This is for the eggs, for next month."
Wally took the list on the harpoon, read it carefully, and shouted loudly:
"No problem, I will deliver it as soon as possible."
"Gugua~"
The fishman brought the slime back to the bottom of the sea. Wally breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had once again perfectly completed the task assigned to him by Master Xingfeng.
He took a deep breath of the stench on the sea surface and shouted intoxicatedly:
"Return home!"
...
...
"So, this Wally actually did a good job?"
Not far away, Qi Ge stood on the sea, looking at Rhodes beside him with a complicated expression.
Rhode scratched his dirty hat and said with emotion:
"Yeah, I never thought he would have such a terrifying work enthusiasm.
He always delivers the materials we apply for within a week, and the quality and quantity are guaranteed, and there has never been a problem.
In the Fallen Moon Territory, the goblins you sent to monitor him also said that he never revealed any relevant information to you on any occasion.
In order to avoid letting the cat out of the bag after being drunk, he has quit drinking after more than ten years of alcohol addiction. His self-discipline is shocking."
Wolfs, wearing a protective mask, added:
"Lord, I have investigated Wally's background. He once served as a general of a mage unit, at the level of a squadron leader, and was in charge of three teams of ten people. He can be regarded as having held power. .
He and his two brothers were stationed at the border customs near Krulod, and accumulated a considerable fortune by smuggling and selling mane dogs, gnolls, and orcs from the sea.
But his eldest and second brothers died because of their failed power struggles with others, and he was demoted to the Fallen Moon Territory as the captain of the city guard.
Before, while serving as the captain, he invested in a merchant guild, hoping to accumulate wealth to avenge his two brothers.
But later, his son participated in a gambling game, owed 260,000 gold coins and chose to commit suicide because he was unable to repay, and his wife jumped into the sea with him.
The destruction of his family was a great blow to him, and he never recovered from it, and therefore lost his job as the captain of the city guard.
His merchant guild was left unattended, and he went bankrupt because he had to pay off his son's gambling debts.
After a series of blows, he finally became the only garbage boatman in Rhode Island.
With his level, it is not impossible to find out how high your status is in Brakada, Lord.
He should know very well that to you, his enemies who were once out of reach are just little ants that can be dealt with easily.
People who have lost everything will naturally cherish it if they find the opportunity to gain everything again.
My lord, although Wally is just a small character with no immediate needs, I think he is cruel enough to others and himself, and he also knows how to seize opportunities and distinguish the priorities, so he is quite useful. "
Qige nodded and said:
"Since you think it can be used, then go ahead and use it. He will leave it to you from now on."
"Yes, sir." Wolfs nodded happily.
As Qi Ge walked towards the depths of the garbage island, he asked Koroko and Rhodes who were following him:
"Hey, now that we are here, you two should stop showing off.
Tell me, what did you find? He was mysterious along the way and refused to say anything. "
"Hehe!" "Haha!" Ke Ruoke and Rhodes looked at each other and smiled.
Ke Ruoke shook his robe and said excitedly: "Lord Qi Ge, we discovered the reason why goblins are not good at growing crops!"
"Ahem!"
Rhodes coughed and said loudly:
"Lord, Koroko and I have been struggling with the problem of how to make the goblins self-sufficient in food.
We believe that if we want to solve this problem, we must start from the root of the problem.
According to our comparative research, goblins are not good at growing plants because we goblins absorb the characteristics of negative emotions. "
Ke Ruoke added: "Lord, you may not believe it, but plants also have negative emotions!
This negative emotion comes from plants being dissatisfied with their living conditions.
It's so dark inside the seeds, I have to germinate and get out quickly.
Why is the grass growing so tall around me and why am I so short?
Why isn't it raining yet? I want to drink water. When it rains, I will drink it to my heart's content.
Other plants have bloomed, but why haven’t I bloomed yet? I want to bloom, and I want my pollen to stick to the pistils of other flowers and stick them all!
It is these negative emotions that make plants grow faster. "
Rhodes continued: "We, the fairies, will absorb this negative emotion, which means we will absorb the power of plant growth and development.
The plants that have absorbed our negative emotions lie flat and don't want to do anything.
Fertile soil? Is the environment suitable? Whatever you want, what does love have to do with you, what does it have to do with me?
That's probably it. "
“Therefore, it is difficult for the seeds planted by our fairies to germinate, and the plants near our fairies grow particularly slowly.
So whatever we goblins sow will die, and the crops will not survive at all. "
"Each plant has a different dependence on negative emotions. Trees and herbal plants are relatively less dependent on negative emotions as a driving force for growth.
However, most of the staple foods in the Yasha world, such as potatoes, barley, and rice, require negative emotions.
So it’s not that we fairies can’t grow anything. In theory, we can still find suitable crops if we search carefully. "
Having said this, Keruoke added seriously:
“However, different levels of dependence do not mean no dependence at all.
Even if we find suitable crops, the yield will still be reduced because we fairies absorb negative emotions.
So Rod and I finally came to a conclusion after a long discussion. "
Rhodes and Koroko said at the same time:
“Since we fairies are naturally incompatible with planting, then we won’t do it.
The way to obtain stable food does not necessarily have to rely on plants. The slime balls produced by the slime garbage food processing plant underground on our garbage island are also a stable way to obtain food.
Even if we can’t grow food, we can still cultivate it.
Or, to go one step further, produce food in a more "fairy" way. "
Ke Ruoke and Rhodes said in unison:
“Since slimes can produce food by consuming garbage, plants can absorb the food produced by the Yasha world.
Then why can't we fairies do it?
We fairies can also find ways to synthesize non-food into food to achieve self-sufficiency in food.
Yes, the way out for our fairies in the future is the food synthesis factory! "
"Food synthesis factory?!"
Seven Pigeons were shocked:
"If you have any ideas, please tell me in detail."
Ke Ruoke said excitedly:
"Sir, this is what we think.
Now the food output of our God's Choice City's Hades Farm is very high, but after all, Hades Farm relies on terrain and consumes a lot of resources.
Only Diya has the underworld, only Erathia has the white stone, only Avili has the Pegasus spring, and only Bracada has the Iron Man Factory.
To create a large number of Hades farms, not only the cost is high, but also the cooperation of the four major forces is required, which is not universal.
Likewise, Rhode Island’s approach to producing food from waste is not universal.
Slime balls are good food, but not every faction has so much garbage to feed slimes.
At the same time, the food production efficiency of slime is still too low.
The entire Bracada, and most of the south, could support a Rhode Island.
Therefore, we must find a more efficient way. ”
Rhodes cleared his throat and said:
“I have studied the mechanism of slime consuming garbage to make slime balls a long time ago.
There are three processing tools in the body of slime. The first processing tool dissolves the garbage they eat into a mixed liquid, and then separates the part that can be absorbed and utilized by themselves from the part that cannot be absorbed and utilized.
The second processing tool is divided into two parts, one absorbs the digestible part, and the other reclassifies the mixed liquid of the inabsorbable part and excludes the toxic part.
The third processing tool will convert the dissolved part into the slime balls we eat.
Coincidentally, the part that the slime under our Rhodes Island can absorb is exactly the part that we cannot absorb.
And the part that they cannot absorb can be used as our food.
According to my experiment, the part in the second processing tool, that is, the liquid dissolving liquid, is still inedible, and most of it is composed of metal minerals.
But when it comes to the third part, the dissolving liquid processed by the slime becomes edible.
Therefore, as long as we figure out the working principles of the second and third parts and imitate the corresponding factories, we may be able to restore the slime ball production factory. "
Qi Ge looked at Rhodes with appreciation and was about to applaud, but heard Rhodes continue:
"This is just one route.
Another route is to imitate food crops.
Wheat and potatoes can transform the energy of Yasha into resources, why can't we fairies do the same?
For a long time, no one living in the world of Yasha, including us fairies, has realized a problem.
Why can some things be eaten and some things not be eaten?
We always take it for granted that anything that the Yasha Mother Goddess has given a food mark can be eaten, and we have never thought about the principle behind it.
Now the Lord and Brother Ke Ruoke have awakened me.
Since no one understands, let me do it.
I am willing to start a complete study of food, unravel the mystery of food properties, analyze the underlying principles of food crops through our own power, and replicate its transformation process. "
Rod said excitedly:
"Lord, I believe this must be a great research that can change the whole of Asia!"
"Very good!! I believe it too." Qi Ge finally found a chance to applaud.
He clapped his hands vigorously and said:
"Use easily available resources to quickly synthesize hard-to-obtain food in the form of factories, so that the survival problem of the troops disappears.
The upper limit of food production efficiency will determine the upper limit of the number of troops in the entire Asia world. The increase in the base number of troops in the Asia world will naturally give birth to more high-level troops and heroes.
When you succeed, not only the goblins, but also the creatures of the entire Asia world will benefit from it.
Rod, I unconditionally approve your and Ke Ruoke's research plan, and am willing to provide unlimited gold coins and all resources as support. "
Rod said excitedly:
"That's great! Lord, I now need a wizard tower that can study plants and slimes.
The alchemy laboratory left by the sages is good, but most of the equipment there is in the direction of mechanical research.
I only need a few dozen research equipment such as an inner-viewing magic mirror, an elemental light wave instrument, a streaming witch pot, a high-speed freezing cave, a rupture furnace, a rocking recliner, a slippery slide, a high-altitude falling hot air balloon, etc. to start my research! "
Qi Ge: ...
Wait, wait, there is a problem! There is a real problem!
I can understand the things in front, but what are the recliners and slides in the back used for?
Rod, you are not using the name of research to satisfy your unspeakable personal desires, are you?
Don't think I don't know!
I know how many beast-eared girls, snake girls, and succubus girls my teacher Agaide applied to Bracada in the name of researching military buildings.
Qi Ge looked at Rhodes' clear eyes and sighed in his heart.
Damn, Rhodes is a fairy. Forget it, just give him whatever he wants.
The research process of fairies is not something we normal creatures can understand.
It is very reasonable for him to come up with a mass-energy formula when he was sliding down the slide.
Qi Ge coughed and said, "No problem, most of the equipment you mentioned is produced by Bracada, I should be able to get them all.
When the time comes, you can make a list for me so that I don't miss it. "
"Long live the lord! "
Rod cheered, and Ke Ruoke also cheered.
Qi Ge waved to Wolfs and said:
"Wolfs, come with me, I have something to ask you."
...
...
When Qi Ge walked a little further away, Ke Ruoke came to Rod and asked quietly:
"Hey, hey, hey, can you really do the experiments you want?"
Rod spread his hands: "I don't know.
There are some books related to biological research in the garbage. I saw a name that I thought was awesome and asked the Lord for one."
"Huh? !" Ke Ruoke was shocked: "Then you are not lying to the Lord!"
"It's not a lie.
Brother Ke Ruoke, think about the name. We can get some results with such awesome things. What if we can do it? !
The Lord is not short of gold coins anyway."
"That's right." Ke Ruoke touched her chin: "No, I still have to talk to the lord.
The lord is kind to us, and he will satisfy our requests, but we can't hide it from him like this.
Rhodes, let's tell the truth, the lord will not blame us. "
"Ha..." Rhodes tilted his head, thought for a while, and said:
"That's true. Okay, let's go find the lord together in a moment."
"Yeah! This is right! This is my good brother."
Ke Ruoke patted Rhodes on the shoulder and was very satisfied with Rhodes.
…
Wolfs walked beside Qi Ge, feeling a little uneasy.
He was afraid that Qi Ge would blame himself if he did something bad.
Qige glanced at Wolfs several times and asked uncertainly:
"Wolfs, if I remember correctly, your full name is Wolfs Alama.
Is Alama the name of your ancestor? "
Wolfs didn't know why Qi Ge suddenly mentioned this. He hesitated and chose to tell the truth:
"Yes, Lord Lord, our ancestor's name is Alama."
"What about the race of your ancestors? Mage or elf?"
Wolfs blinked and said: "I really don't know this. Our family tree records that our ancestors were real scum.
Our grandmother's family is a long-established aristocracy in the Falling Moon Territory. Our grandmother is the only daughter and the head of the family, and her ancestors were married into the family.
Later, he deceived our grandmother, took a large sum of money from her, and ran away.
However, he still had a clear conscience and left some powerful sea wizards to our grandmother so that our grandmother would not end up on the streets.
But I think the ancestors of Alama were not elves.
My father, my grandfather's lineage, and several of my deceased uncles and great-uncles all followed my grandmother, and their arms were all sea wizards. "
"Is this really the same name?"
While Qi Ge was thinking, Wolfs whispered:
"Lord, are you interested in my ancestor? I remember that my uncle who immigrated to the underground city had a diary left by his grandmother at his home. There are many records about his ancestors in it."
Qi Ge:! ! !
