Monster Hunter: Farm Story Begins with Pokémon

Chapter 338 New Farm Equipment! (5.2k, supplemented on 4.27th)
After breakfast, Bai Zhen was in a good mood.

Last night he was still thinking about how to get Shuiyun to wear the clothes he had chosen.

Now Shuiyun finally agreed.

After breakfast, Bai Zhen took the dishes to the kitchen and prepared to wash them.

At this time, Shui Yun suddenly asked Bai Zhen with some curiosity: "Bai Zhen, I remember you said there are six lords on the island, right?" (The foreshadowing is in Chapter 46)
"Yes, six lords."

Shui Yun counted on her fingers in surprise: "Oliva in the southern forest area of ​​the island, Madam Hua Jie in the central plain area, Father Ao, General Pu Dao, and the Styracosaurus in the ice cave under the volcano in the north. There are only five lords here. Where is the sixth lord you mentioned?"

"Didn't I tell you?" Bai Zhen looked at Shui Yun strangely.

Shui Yun nodded slightly with certainty. Bai Zhen mentioned the six lords, but did not mention who the sixth lord was.

Bai Zhen scratched his head and explained, "Actually, I haven't really seen the sixth lord myself. I heard from the Pokémon on the island that about thirty years ago, there lived a white Galar-shaped Moltres with reddish-pink flames in the volcano on the north side of the island."

"Galar form of Moltres?"

Bai Zhen knew that there was no way to explain it to Shui Yun just by talking.

Bai Zhen took out his Rotom phone, searched for some photos online, and then showed Shui Yun the photo of the normal Moltres and the Galar form Moltres that he had taken in a flash.

In its normal form, Moltres is bright yellow with beautiful orange flames burning on its body.

The Galar form of Moltres is completely black, with pink flames burning on its crown, tail feathers, and the lower ends of its wings, making it look even more evil than the ordinary Moltres.

Shui Yun asked curiously, "Does Pokémon here also have the concept of subspecies?"

"Of course there are. Some Pokémon have different forms in different regions."

Shuiyun nodded to show that she understood.

But she still had one question, which was why the flames of the Galar region appeared on the islands of the Padia region.

She asked her own question.

Bai Zhen explained: "You should know the definition of subspecies in your world, right?"

"Of course I know. The first monster form discovered is designated as the original species, and the monster forms discovered later are designated as subspecies. As long as the original species is confirmed, the forms discovered later can be designated as subspecies."

This principle can be simply illustrated with the Hell Wolf Dragon.

The Thunder Wolf Dragon and the Hell Wolf Dragon are monsters with the same genes. There is no very obvious difference in their combat capabilities. The two are just different in form and at different times of discovery.

If Yanhuo Village discovered the Hell Wolf Dragon first, then the Hell Wolf Dragon would be identified as the original species. If the Thunder Wolf Dragon was discovered later, the people of Yanhuo Village would call the Thunder Wolf Dragon a subspecies of the Hell Wolf Dragon.

In the Monster Hunter world where information is transmitted slowly, this difference between villages is particularly obvious.

People in different villages have different names for certain subspecies and original species.

"Yes, the same principle applies to the Pokémon world. The researchers discovered Moltres first and entered it into the Pokédex, so it became the original species. The Galar form of Moltres that was discovered later became something like a subspecies. Also, because the researchers first discovered this form of Moltres in the Galar region, it was given the name Galar form."

Shui Yun guessed: "So it's possible to find different forms of Pokémon in the same area?"

"No, the regional divisions of this world are still very obvious. For example, the Alola region's Meowth is almost never seen in other regions. But Moltres is special. This Pokémon has a migratory habit, just like Shaymin. Pokémon of this species can be found all over the world."

Bai Zhen gave Shui Yun a detailed explanation of the different forms of Pokémon.

Back to the sixth lord on the island, Bai Zhen said: "Speaking of the sixth lord, the Galar region is not far from the Padia region, and it can be considered a neighboring region. It is not surprising that the Galar form of Moltres appears here. According to the Pokémon on the island, thirty years ago, the Galar form of Moltres once lived on the island for two or three years, and then left and never came back."

"I see."

Shui Yun finally resolved the doubts in her heart.

Bai Zhen muttered: "Come to think of it, one of the six heroes that Riko and the others found was a Galar-formed Moltres. I've never seen that Pokémon before, and I don't know if I'll have a chance to fight Moltres in the future."

As one of the six heroes of the ancient adventurer Lucius, the level of the Moltres is probably around eighty or ninety.

"Please ask for it later, there should be a chance."

Shui Yun looked at Taile Bagos, who had been lazily lying on Bai Zhen's head and greedily absorbing energy since yesterday.

Tailebagos has a close relationship with the six heroes. If Tailebagos comes forward, it would just be a simple competition and no one would refuse.

"I'll ask them again when Riko and the others arrive on the 23rd."

It was already 9 o'clock in the morning when Bai Zhen and Shui Yun finished cleaning the kitchen.

Just as I finished the work at hand, Shuiyun's cell phone rang.

Shui Yun glanced at who had sent the message and whispered, "The equipment I ordered yesterday has arrived."

"The equipment you bought yesterday for 320 million?"

"Yes, my sister and I went shopping in Niangguang City yesterday, and finally selected a product that can increase farm efficiency based on the current needs of the island."

Bai Zhen was curious about what Shui Yun bought that cost 320 million.

Bai Zhen and Shui Yun arrived at the dock.

After asking the deliveryman to help unload the goods, Bai Zhen looked at the two large square boxes covered with waterproof cloth, which were five meters long, wide and high. The boxes were almost three times as tall as him.

"What is this?" Bai Zhen asked Shui Yun puzzledly.

Shui Yun said mysteriously, "You will know what it is in a moment. Please move one of the large square boxes to the top floor of the villa."

This large square box weighs eight or nine tons, and most people would have to use a crane to get this thing to the roof without the power of Pokémon.

But Bai Zhen was able to use his own strength to move the large square box directly to the third floor of the villa.

Bai Zhen entered a true and super-charged state, then carried the big iron box with both hands, jumped ten meters high, and arrived at the third floor of the villa.

The third-floor top floor has a warehouse, an infinity pool, and a bar counter.

Shuiyun has been cleaning the top floor regularly for a long time, and it is very clean.

Bai Zhen found an open space and put down the large square box.

After removing all the outer packaging, Bai Zhen was finally able to see the true appearance of the big box.

This is a large iron box that is glowing with a black glow. The metal on the box is a special metal that does not rust in the rain, does not melt in fire, and is not affected by lightning.

The six sides of this big iron box are extremely smooth and look like a big iron lump.

"What exactly is this?"

Shui Yun did not explain, she first took out her Rotom phone.

Shuiyun opened a software that had been downloaded in advance. After searching for the signal, the big iron block and Shuiyun's mobile phone were connected.

Shuiyun clicks to start.

Bah~!

The big block of iron looked like the cutting-edge technology in a science fiction movie, with blue lines appearing on its smooth surface.

The upper part of the large iron block opened to both sides, and the platform stored inside extended out from the box, revealing a row of drones inside.

Bai Zhen looked at these drones in surprise. These drones were about ten centimeters long and wide. Bai Zhen counted carefully in the entire large iron box and found that there were a total of 30 small drones stored.

“Is this a drone?”

Shui Yun said: "To be precise, it is a magnetically levitated silent drone. The flying power of this drone is magnetic levitation, not propellers, so it makes almost no sound when flying."

Shuiyun took out her mobile phone and controlled a drone.

The hollow circular wings on the four corners of the drone flashed with light blue light. The drone was just as Shui Yun said, it made no sound when flying. If you listened carefully, you could only hear the very subtle sound of the device running. If you had to compare this sound, it would probably be the sound of a mosquito flying.

The drone is silver-white all over and looks very technological.

Bai Zhen poked the drone in the air. The drone was flying very steadily. Just poking it did not cause any impact on the flight of the drone.

Shui Yun said: "It is said that the technology used by this drone is the same as the suspension technology of the Rotom phone, and it can withstand force 8 winds."

A force 8 wind can break thin branches of trees, making it difficult for people to move forward.

It is amazing that a drone with a diameter of about ten centimeters can do this.

Bai Zhen asked again: "What is the use of this drone?"

"Very useful. The simplest thing is that it can detect the situation around the island."

Shui Yun used her mobile phone to control the drone and turned on the camera. Shui Yun handed the phone in her hand to Bai Zhen to see.

The camera mounted on this drone is very high definition. Although it cannot see pores clearly, it is about the same level as what the human eye can see.

The drone's camera was aimed at Bai Zhen, and a blue light quickly swept across Bai Zhen from top to bottom. Then, a warning sign "Unregistered Person" appeared on the phone screen.

Shui Yun introduced: "With this function, as long as the drone's patrol path is set, it can detect whether there are other people on the island who have quietly landed on the island. With the help of Pokémon and lords, it can completely prevent intruders like Pokémon Hunter J from landing on the island."

“This is really useful.”

Just this one function makes Bai Zhen feel very useful.

However, this drone is obviously not that simple, otherwise Shuiyun and Huoya would not have spent 300 million to buy these two large square boxes.

Shui Yun continued to introduce: "Patrol can only be regarded as an auxiliary capability of this drone. The most important thing about this drone is that it is equipped with an analysis module for scanning the status of plants and animals. It can scan and analyze the growth of plants, and can also check the health status of Pokémon and other information.

Relying on this analysis module, the maturity time and growth conditions of various plants in the farm, such as whether the seedlings are growing well, whether there are any diseases or pests, etc., will be sent directly to the mobile terminal in the form of data.

In this way, the situation of the entire farm can be seen at a glance, which can save the time of the Felynx for reporting, and can also reduce the occurrence of a decrease in per-acre yield or direct death of crops due to experience differences among the Felynx.

The situation of ranches, orchards, and fisheries is the same, and they can all rely on this analysis module to analyze and integrate data, which greatly improves our own work efficiency and that of the Felynx.

In addition, the drone's mother box also has a sensor system that can monitor real-time environmental data such as light, wind speed, temperature, and rainfall. Combined with the drone's scanning and analysis module, it can fully achieve the best intelligent monitoring. "

As soon as Bai Zhen heard it, he felt that this drone was really suitable for the current farm.

Currently, the number of Felynx on the farm has increased from 180 to 215, of which 35 are temporary workers.

The total area of ​​the farm, ranch, orchard and fishery is about 500 acres.

If we take into account the tenfold increase in the universal tool, the output of these 500 acres is roughly equivalent to the output of 5000 acres of land.

Today, Richen Farm can support three Yanhuo villages just by relying on farmland.

Although it is still a long way from Bai Zhen’s plan of 10,000 acres, the current farm is quite large.

For so many farmlands, the Felynes are currently responsible for growing crops on two acres of land, with each cat being responsible.

With more farmland and more Felynx, all kinds of problems will easily arise.

For example, the Felynx usually grow the crops they are responsible for according to the planting experience taught by Bai Zhen, and it is difficult for Bai Zhen to teach all the experience of growing these crops to the Felynx at once.

This also leads to some Felyns not knowing what to do when encountering emergencies, or when plants have some adverse reactions, these Felyns fail to find the problem due to lack of experience, causing the crops to wither and die directly.

Especially now that the quality of crops is getting higher and higher, and the growth rate of crops has increased tenfold.

These two reasons will make the difficulty of crop planting soar, and will greatly shorten the adjustment and reaction time of the Felynes.

For example, it normally takes about 5 days for Lv.150 strawberries to mature from planting to fruiting, but with the help of the universal tool and the heavy steel draft horse plowing skill, the strawberries can mature in 12 days.

Originally, when strawberries were diseased, the Felynx had about ten days to half a month to react and respond. However, with the help of the universal tool, they only had one day to react.

Usually, when the problem is discovered on the same day and you are still thinking about what to do, when you wake up the next day, all the strawberries you are responsible for have died.

This situation is not rare, but very common. The higher the grade of the crop, the more delicate it is.

In addition to these problems, there are also things like the Felyne cats need to report on the condition of the farmland every two days, and Shuiyun needs to take the time to record these reports.

Now with this drone, Shuiyun no longer needs to listen to the reports from the cats. She can get all the accurate data on the farm by just opening the background, which saves at least three or four hours a day.

Moreover, direct and unified information management can also effectively increase the survival rate of high-grade crops, and even adjust farmland conditions through various data and effectively increase per-acre yield.

Bai Zhen couldn't help but sigh: "Isn't the function of this drone too powerful?"

Shuiyun explained: "This drone and mother box were originally sold to those field rangers. The rangers can use this drone to protect the Pokémon, forests and fruit trees in their jurisdiction. They can also prevent criminals such as Pokémon hunters from catching Pokémon in the protected area through drone patrols. After learning about this product, my sister and I felt that this drone and mother box were very suitable for our farm, so we spent a lot of money to purchase them."

"This is indeed very suitable. By the way, do you have the parameters of this drone?"

"Of course." Shui Yun handed the instruction manual to Bai Zhen.

Bai Zhen simply opened it and took a look. As the cutting-edge technology in the Pokémon world, the performance of this drone was naturally much better than the consumer-grade drones of his previous life.

Maximum ascent speed: 15 m/s

Maximum descent speed: 18 m/s

Maximum horizontal flight speed (no wind near sea level) - 40 m/s (144 km/h)
Maximum take-off altitude: 8000 meters

Maximum cruising range: 300 km
Maximum wind speed: 20 m/s (level 8 gale)
Working environment temperature - -30℃ to 60℃

The maximum controllable radius of the drone is 80 kilometers.
This data is astonishing.

The maximum range is 300 kilometers. If the analysis module and other functions are turned on throughout the journey, it can probably fly about kilometers.

"It's really amazing that a drone that is only ten centimeters long and wide can achieve this data." Bai Zhen couldn't help but sigh again at the powerful technology of the Pokémon world.

"The data is dazzling, and the price is also very high. This mother box plus 30 drones cost a total of 160 million Alliance Coins per set. Each drone costs 5 Alliance Coins."

Bai Zhen said disapprovingly: "If this drone is placed in Yanhuo Village, it will be sold for 500,000 or 600,000 yuan. There will be people who want it, right?"

"The technology is not at the same level. For hunters, this silent drone will be very useful during hunting. As long as you sell it, there will definitely be people willing to buy it."

Shui Yun nodded as a matter of course. If she had never been to the Pokémon world, and Bai Zhen showed her this drone, she would probably have guessed that the price could be in the millions.

But in the world of Pokémon, where a normal drone costs only two to three thousand Alliance Coins, a price of fifty thousand is really a bit high.

Of course, given the function and quality, the high price is understandable.

Shui Yun said: "By the way, this mother box can accommodate up to 200 drones and control 200 drones."

"One mother box can hold 200 aircraft. Two mother boxes can hold a total of 400 aircraft. Now there are only 60 aircraft. It means that it will take 340 more aircraft to fill the two mother boxes, a total of 1700 million alliance coins?"

"That's right. There are still many places where you need to spend money. If you want to realize the Ten Thousand Acres Plan, it is definitely not enough to rely on Felyne. You also need to buy a lot of high-tech to help you manage it."

Shui Yun looked at Bai Zhen dimly.

Bai Zhen easily understood what Shui Yun meant from her eyes.

That look was asking him whether he would continue to spend money recklessly in the future.

If he spends 10 to buy a set of clothes today, it would be equivalent to missing out on two drones.

Bai Zhen chuckled and said to Shui Yun, "I know I was wrong! I'll leave it to you from now on."

"I'll do everything I can to help you."

Seeing that Bai Zhen had a good attitude, Shui Yun stopped making things difficult for him.
