Imagine the world

Chapter 114 Journey to the West

Hua Zhenxing refined a portion of Xumai Gum and put it away. This thing is actually edible, and it is much more effective for monks than the so-called Bigu Pills.

He picked up the wooden magpie with a long stick and continued to move forward to the next sampling point set up by the R&D department. He continued to release the wooden magpie to collect various data and observe changes along the way.

Along the way, he discovered several mutated dragon beans one after another, and thanks to the proficient refining techniques, they were all processed into Xumaijiao.Mutant dragon beans are rare, and the timing of harvesting them that coincides with their meeting is also rare.

The system says that the probability of mutant dragon beans appearing is one in ten thousand in a suitable natural wild environment.The meandering river valley inside the barbed wire fence is about [-] kilometers long and [-] kilometers wide. In such a large area, how many bean seeds have been sown by the industry, and how many seeds have germinated and grown?There should be several million plants, so there are at least a few hundred mutated dragon beans.

This thing is too troublesome to find, and it is difficult to detect when it is entangled in the wild vegetation. Hua Zhenxing basically found it through the low-altitude flight observation of the wood magpie.He didn't stop too much because of this, and he didn't deliberately search for it. He just refined a batch of Xumai glue along the way and kneaded it into ten pills.

From the beach to the foot of the mountain, the straight-line distance is about 50 kilometers, and the walking distance along the planned winding river is more than [-] kilometers.Hua Zhenxing stopped occasionally, even at night to maintain this rhythm, which took about two days.

The landscape of the river valley is quite different from the same period last year. Not only are there three more wetlands, but there are also nine farms. The wild land is also full of water and grass, and even the climate has become much cooler.

This is Hua Zhenxing's own territory. He walked through it once during the heavy rainy season, and now he walked again during the harvest season, witnessing the miraculous changes with his own eyes.

The "Chunrong Pill Refining Task" actually reminded him that he had discovered two kinds of raw materials, namely golden festival flower and autumn medicine; sand bead and summer medicine.The reason why I didn't find it last time was probably because the season was wrong and it hadn't grown yet. Although I found it this time, Hua Zhenxing didn't pick and refine it. Either it hasn't come yet, or the right time has passed.

In addition, Hua Zhenxing also discovered a very important plant. Although it is not the raw material for refining Chunrong Pill, it may be used to brew beer, which is equivalent to hops.Its leaves are like mulberry, and it is a kind of humulus vine. Hua Zhenxing named it Humulus hops.

Ordinary hops are not suitable for growing in the climate of Port Fiso, but Humulus hops have a similar effect, but how did Hua Zhenxing know?

Old man Yang is not only a foodie, but also a drinker.This time, the second part of the project was engaged in a winery and wanted to try to brew liquor. Old man Yang provided pit mud with biological activity and a batch of old base wine for original blending. Even Hua Zhenxing was surprised.

Old man Yang once thought about producing his own craft beer. He got all the raw materials, including hops, but later he canceled the plan because it was too troublesome.To ensure a stable taste and quality, it is necessary to import a set of craft brewing equipment.

Even if the output of such a set of equipment is not high, old man Yang and Hua Zhenxing will definitely not be able to drink it, and there will not be enough room in the grocery store, unless they find a place to open a big restaurant.

I just want to have a sip of beer, and I can't let the beer make me tired, so I go around the set of craft brewing equipment every day, turning my house into a beer workshop.

Hua Zhenxing has not practiced in vain for a while, refining gold, origami airplanes, cutting wood magpies, and processing a simplified version of Qiantui Dan... After discovering the mutant dragon bean and refining Xumai glue by himself, his ability to distinguish physical properties has improved again. A new level.

After mastering the method of refining the spiritual consciousness, he should have worked hard on the level of physical property discrimination, but the system gave him a task, or Ke Fuzi gave him a task through the system, and in the end he devoted his energy to refining gold .

But today Hua Zhenxing is thinking about another question. If there is no system, or the system has not released the "Chunrong Pill Refining Task", wouldn't he be able to develop Chunrong Pill by himself?

If you want to refine Chunrong Pill, you must first learn how to refine medicine. The Dongguo monks used to have a proper term for this called Waidanshu, and the old men didn't teach him specifically.Without the corresponding cultivation and experience accumulation, it is impossible to teach, and it is just empty talk if you try to teach, and you will go astray if you don't do it well.

Isn't there such a story, a certain person determined to make alchemy, read alchemy books all over, and finally became a great medicine, took it, and the story ended.

The emergence of the "Chunrong Pill Refining System" was meant to teach Huazhenxing the knowledge of refining medicine.But the system will not replace Hua Zhenxing to find and refine medicinal materials, and Hua Zhenxing has to do everything by himself.

The basis of refining medicine is not necessarily the method of spiritual refining. These tasks may be replaced by industrial methods, and more importantly, the identification of physical properties and the refining of spiritual effects.If you have mastered these two technologies, then you can not be limited to the prompts of the system.

For example, Hua Zhenxing discovered such a humulus plant in the wild, the physical properties of its bulbs are very similar to the frozen hop products that Old Man Yang got from nowhere, and he thought that it might be used to brew beer.

There are beers sold in grocery stores, all of which are imported from abroad. There are more cans and fewer bottles. The reason for this is because of transportation costs.Bottles are much heavier than cans, and the same capacity is much more expensive to ship to Fiso.

The consumption of beer is usually much larger than that of liquor, especially in a place with a hot climate like Port Fiso. When the living standard improves in the future, the demand for beer will be even greater.

If it is produced in another place, especially if it needs to be imported from overseas, then its transportation cost will be far greater than the production cost, and almost most of the selling price is freight.

Therefore, it is a product that is most suitable for localization. Even if it is invested by a large overseas group, it must achieve localized production to be able to compete in the market. The most common strategy is to acquire local brands.

In Port Fiso, there are no local brands at all, and there has never been any beer produced by itself.This plant named Humulus by Hua Zhenxing can grow in large patches in the Beisuo River Basin after the transformation, and its physical properties are very close to hops.

As for whether it can replace hops as the raw material for brewing beer, and whether it can use local crops such as cassava to brew beer, Huazhenxing is not sure, and the research and development department needs to make trials.

Huazhenxing just collected some samples and put them in the backpack, and planned to talk to the R&D department to see if a project could be established.

Walking through the farms and fields with abundant water and grass, Huazhenxing also met many people, many of whom were employees of the first project of Huanxiang Industry. Almost all of them knew him and greeted him one after another.

Most of the backbone members of the new alliance come from the original straw sandal gang, and most of the straw sandal gang know Hua Zhenxing.In their view, this young man is the heir whom the three directors focus on training.

What happened to Feng Zibin, everyone didn't know, where did such a wealthy overseas come out?Therefore, many legends have been born.

For example, the three old men once saved Feng Zibin's life and provided Feng Zibin with a lot of help. Therefore, after making a fortune, Feng Zibin returned to Feisuo Port to establish Huanxiang Industry, just to repay.This is not a rumor, because Feng Zibin himself made similar remarks when he visited the headquarters last time.

Huazhenhang also met a lot of local people, some of them are residents of Kelin District, and some of them don’t live in Kelin District, but accepted the employment of Huanxiang Industrial, and ran here to take care of the fields or pick crops in exchange for payment .

Many of them did not know Hua Zhenxing, and when they saw other people greeting the child warmly, they asked their companion Hua Zhenxing's identity one after another.Someone introduced privately that this young man was a good friend of Shire's boss since he was a child. Now Shire has become the biggest boss in Feisuo Port, and Hua Zhenxing has become an important person who must not be offended.

If there are people from the Sea God Clan here, you may have a different impression of Xiaohua. He is the big man behind the scenes of the New Alliance and Huanxiang Industry. He possesses mysterious skills and is a close partner with their high priest Manman. It's just amazing!

There are not many Seagod people here now, they either go back to work at the International Dock, or go to the saltworks in charge of the second construction project.

The business crisis encountered by the International Terminal some time ago has improved recently. The main reason is that due to the resumption of construction aid projects and the development of many projects of Huanxiang Industry, a large amount of construction materials need to be transferred through the International Terminal.

The Sea God tribe is not here, but there are still many Dongguo construction aid workers here, who are rushing to build bridges during the small dry season between the two rainy seasons.

The construction aid workers from Dongguo felt another kind of familiar and cordial feeling when they saw Hua Zhenxing.This child grew up in Port Fiso, and he has been friends with the leader, Lao Lei. He often comes to deliver things and is welcomed and loved by everyone.

Now the elders of this child's family have developed and become high-level executives of Huanxiang Industry.It was Xiaohua who made the match in the middle, and Dongdian No. [-] Company took over many projects of Huanxiang Industrial.It is said that it was also Xiaohua's suggestion, and Huanxiang Industry also gave them an additional construction allowance.

They did get extra construction allowances, which was Huazhenhang's proposal, and then Huanxiang Industrial did it, as long as there were workers who participated in Huanxiang Industrial's engineering projects.

Although this amount of money is not much, it is also a pleasant surprise for the construction aid workers. It was not distributed through the engineering headquarters, but directly distributed by Huanxiang Industry to each of them. After registering their personal information, they have cash and some shopping coupons.

Of course, Huazhenxing has other intentions in doing this. For example, it wants these workers to demonstrate consumption, or it bypasses the project engineering department of Dongdian No. [-] Company and directly obtains the personal information and contact information of all construction aid workers. Here Based on the establishment of talent database.

The storage information should be as complete as possible, such as the situation of a person, including family background and education background, how old they are, what technology they are good at, and so on.It is not easy to ask for such information directly, but it can be inquired through side ways such as socializing, dining, and chatting.

As the saying goes, thousands of people have thousands of faces. Sometimes it not only means that a thousand people will have a thousand situations, but also means that the same person will have different impressions in the eyes of a thousand people, such as Hua Zhenxing in the eyes of everyone along the way.

The bridge under construction is more than 30 kilometers away from the estuary of the Beisuo River. After passing through here, the number of people encountered gradually decreases, because it is far away from the urban area of ​​Port Feisuo, and the terrain is gradually rising, and the scenery seems to be restored. The appearance of previous years.

When Hua Zhenxing entered the valley through the agricultural reclamation area that had been isolated by barbed wire, there was no one around.The valley that Huanxiang Industrial bought has a total area of ​​about 150 square kilometers. It is planned to build a dam at the mouth of the valley, and most of the area will be submerged by the reservoir in the future.

There are also orchids growing here, but it is too late to transplant this year, and we can only wait until the heavy rainy season next year.

Chitose orchid has a characteristic, that is, its vitality is particularly tenacious, but it is almost impossible to transplant artificially.The success of transplantation must be under certain conditions, that is, after the heavy rainy season, it has just recovered from a dead state, and this is also the time to harvest immortal cores.

In order to ensure the success rate of the transplantation, Hua Zhenxing also used the Yuan Yang technique.This is a special usage of Nourishing Yuan Technique, to replenish the vitality of the transplanted thousand-year-old orchid, and sometimes the difference between survival and non-survival is actually a little bit.

Although Ruoda's valley area was bought by Huanxiang Industry, Huazhenxing hadn't "inspected" it before, but today it is much more convenient to have a wooden magpie.

He first came to the center of the valley, and then walked outward in a spiral shape several times, stopping from time to time to release the wood magpie, recording various data and checking the situation.

Due to the large drop in the terrain, the airflow here and the temperature and humidity changes in the high altitude are very complicated. There is no water and soil in the steeper slopes.Huanxiang Industrial has scattered the seeds of many crops in the narrow river valley downstream, but not here.

Lei Yunjin is already a consultant and has provided many suggestions from the perspective of Huanxiang Industry.For example, he proposed that Huanxiang Industry needs to invest in two more projects, a cement factory and a glass factory.

The scale of the glass processing plant does not need to be too large, and the technical requirements do not need to be too high. Its raw material is silicon-containing sand, and it can be located closer to the port of Fiso.

In this way, packaging bottles such as Kelin Daqu and various living utensils can be self-produced.If daily-use glassware is imported or transported by external forces, the transportation cost is much higher than the production cost, and the loss is extremely high.

As for the cement plant project, its importance needless to say. If the steel problem cannot be solved in the short term, at least the cement production should be solved first.If the Port of Fiso wants to build infrastructure, the demand for cement is the largest. If all of them rely on imports, the total cost will also be the highest.

This suggestion really touched Huazhenxing's heart. If we want to build a real state in the future, the cement plant must be built first.

Mr. Lei suggested that the cement plant project should be placed not far from the reservoir dam, and the required raw materials should be mined locally, but the heavy oil power plant project can only be put into operation after the completion of the project.

The raw material needed for cement production is mainly limestone. Hua Zhenxing also took the opportunity to select the site for the cement plant during this inspection. He found two suitable places, both outside the valley, on both sides of the planned North Suo River, away from The location of the planned dam is not far away, and there are a lot of limestone in the nearby mountain rocks.

Huazhenxing stayed in the valley for another day and a half, then walked out of the land purchased by Huanxiang Industry, and walked into the mountains in the west.
