Chapter 160 No.11

PS: Continue to combine the two chapters into one, hehe. (=w=) I hope you will continue to support me.

==========
"Big Chief, the breeding season is almost over."

"What? This is..."

"It's been going on for 30 days."

"what?"

Quack opened his sleepy eyes and looked at Lingxue standing in front of him, then turned his head to look at the walls of the temple and house that had been built in front of him.A group of flying-wing quack apes are flying carefully to cover the roof with tiles one by one at this time, while the quack apes who were pulled by Lingxue are now surrounded outside curiously, they just didn't get the order They formed a small group of people chatting.

"It's only 30 days. I remember that the estrus period of animals lasts for a spring?"

"I don't know the animal estrus period you mentioned, but since I can remember, the longest our breeding period is no more than forty days, and the shortest seems to be about 20 days." Looking at Quack in front of her, Lingxue still couldn't understand this. Quack, who was a little old and dull from time to time, connected with the once strong chief: "What's wrong with me?"

Lingxue's mind had already been discovered by Quack. Although the body was weakened, Quack's mental strength was still there.Opening his mouth, Quack, who wanted to say something, finally smiled depressedly, and then sat back down again.

Gradually, the illusory body of consciousness began to slowly emerge above Gaga's head.

Seeing this scene, a cunning flashed in Lingxue's eyes.

After witnessing the scene of the appearance of the dead soul, and comparing the illusory scene of the appearance of the flying-wing quack apes, their worries about the possible influence of quack's aging completely disappeared, because they finally realized that the big boss, or the dream god and Quack difference.

However, what followed was that they were uncomfortable with the aging of the components and the slow reaction speed. Therefore, all the flying-wing quack apes began to choose to report work when the illusion appeared, and quack himself became Gotta relax.

"Meow, you are still young and popular."

Looking at Lingxue again with his empty eyes, seeing the other party who couldn't restrain his complacency, Kong Huan shook his head helplessly.

"By the way, Lingxue." I looked at the quack apes who were watching in a blink of an eye. Although the quack apes were egg-born and wearing clothes, it might not be easy to distinguish if they were humans, but the difference between the tentacles on the back of the head and the Gaga can still clearly distinguish the other party's gender through various movements and expressions: "Why are there all men here? Where are the female apes?"

"Well, because I haven't confirmed which ones will be pregnant, I have arranged for the female apes to rest in their own houses temporarily, and usually only do some light work such as leather making and mud making." It's not that you said that pregnant individuals need to be pregnant. It is well protected and cannot do heavy work. As a result, the lair is basically half of the heavy labor.Lingxue was discussing in her heart.

"After more than ten days, after the pregnant individuals are confirmed, we can arrange for them to go to the calcium carbide mine."

"No need!" Hearing this, Kong Huan suddenly remembered what he had learned about the last time he went to the calcium carbide mine. Although the casualties caused by the four-winged pterosaur were not large, Quack didn't deal with the four-winged pterosaur problem in order to give the quack apes some motivation.

But having said that, for quack apes with a small team size, the four-winged pterosaur is still a great threat, especially now that the combat power of pregnant individuals during the breeding period will be weakened. If the team goes to the calcium carbide mine, I am afraid that they will have to send Xiangyi quack ape protection.

"This time, the pregnant individual should not go to the calcium carbide mine." After thinking about it, Kong Huan still felt that there was no need to go to the calcium carbide mine. Not only this lair, but also other double-scythe lairs and hell lairs need to be notified. As for the calcium carbide problem...

Looking up to the north, he fantasized about something he had left unused for a long time - calcium carbide tree.

"If the calcium carbide tree can grow on ordinary land, even if the calcium carbide content of the seeds produced is a little lower, the calcium carbide problem of the quack apes can be greatly alleviated. Moreover," turning his head to look at the foot of the mountain, it is obvious that there is a turning point The small piece of ground with traces of soil, the illusory expression hesitated for a moment, but still made a decision: "Although there is a problem of desecrating the dead, it is only for me, for the species, let them play the role of the dead without consciousness. Great effect."

"If calcium carbide trees can only be planted in calcium carbide mines or cemeteries, they can also be planted in this cemetery. After the construction of the road from Gaga Mountain to the calcium carbide mine is completed, calcium carbide can also be regularly transported to the calcium carbide mine as fertilizer. a highly feasible solution.”

Thinking of this, it seems that it is not difficult for Kong Huan to discover the calcium carbide problem.

Looking at Lingxue who was still worried about the calcium carbide issue, Kong Huan smiled.She is a good leader, but limited by her knowledge, she can only be regarded as a small nest leader now: "I already have a solution to the calcium carbide problem, so you don't have to worry about it. After confirming the pregnant individual, you They should be placed in houses for apprentice priests, I believe that the temple will have been built by then, and the priests will all move to live in the temple.”

"Really? That's good." Having complete trust in Oneiroi, Lingxue immediately dispelled her worries after receiving an affirmative answer, and began to report the next step: "Then Oneiroi, how do you arrange these quack apes?"

Hearing Lingxue's question, Kong Huan looked behind him at the temple that should have been completed in the past two days.

"Now the first phase of the houses has been built, and the temple is about to be completed, and the first batch of dozens of little guys will be divided into teams next year, um... so, let everyone have a good rest during this time, building the house has worked hard. "

"Spring is the breeding season for animals, so don't go hunting for now. By the way, how many days can I eat the stored food?"

Facing Quack's question, Lingxue, a part-time warehouse manager in her team, just thought for a while before answering immediately: "According to the current way of eating meat soup, even if you don't hunt and only collect vegetarian food, it should be enough." We have enough food for about ten days."

"Ten days?" Received Lingxue's affirmative answer, Quack rubbed his chin, dissatisfied with the statistic: "Ten days is still a little less, it seems that it is no longer enough to rely on hunting and gathering wild vegetables, as expected, agriculture or animal husbandry should be Is it on the agenda?"

"By the way, where's the salt?" Gaga, who was tired of drinking blood directly, had spent two days searching by the river and the top of the mountain, and finally found it by the big river about two kilometers away from Gaga Mountain. A small natural salt pan was discovered.

Although the quality of the salt in the salt pan is not as good as refined salt, Quack, whose memory has been blurred for a long time, still appreciates the taste of the salt, and the Quack team also began to go there regularly to get salt.

Especially after the appearance of pottery, broth has become a daily staple food, and broth with salt is of course popular with everyone and has become an indispensable thing for everyone to eat.

"Salt? That's all according to the Oneiroi's previous instructions. Take it every ten days, so the amount is like this. Because I went to get it five days ago, there are still five to seven days left."

"Oh, I forgot about that." Gathering his mind for a while, Kong Huan thought about it for a while, then turned his head to look at the location of the calcium carbide mine.

After weighing it up, Kong Huan still told Lingxue about the next step. This is also Kong Huan's recognition of Lingxue as the leader: "After the three lair priests return to their nests, they will speed up the transformation of each lair, and wait for more than 20 My day, it should be when summer just started, and the renovation should be a little smoother. By then, I plan to start building the road from here to the calcium carbide mine, but it’s just an ordinary dirt road, and the stone road will be considered later.”

After comparing the distance between the calcium carbide mine and Gaga Mountain, the straight line is about ten kilometers away. Lingxue thought about it and was still a little worried: "Oneiroi, when the road to Gaga Mountain was built, the laying of stone slabs and the It rained, and it took the six teams nearly ten days, and the stone road was only about 310 meters according to the meter ruler made by the big boss. Now, the road from Gaga Mountain to the calcium carbide mine needs to spend time……"

"This is necessary, Lingxue." Regarding the issue of the road, Kong Huan was very firm.

Communication promotes development, and roads promote communication. To make its own civilization progress steadily and rapidly, what Konghuan has to do is to cultivate the self-improvement ability of the species society; development of civilization.

"Lingxue, you are the leader. You can't just focus on the hundreds of quack apes in Gaga Mountain. You need to be farther away and bigger." Having said this, Kong Huan stopped and pointed to the dozen or so thatched-roofed stone houses around him.

"There are a lot of quack apes in Gaga Mountain, don't you think?" After a pause, Kong Huan asked Lingxue a question, saw the other party think about it, and finally nodded to confirm, Kong Huan's expression did not change, but continued: "Including the priests, 220 ones, it seems like a lot. But...do you know how many of our kind there are in this world?"

"How many?"

Gaga is very satisfied with Lingxue's cooperation. Since she gave Lingxue a high evaluation of her performance during this period, Kong Huan is going to train her to a higher level of power, and vision is the premise of all this .

"Seventy-four thousand three hundred and thirty one."

Looking at the main task of the fourth-level brain that was still going on, a trace of complexity flashed through Kong Huan's mind.If it is for the consideration of species, it seems too little for a planet.But if you are considering your own mission, the number that is still slowly growing seems to be a little too much.

"Trouble."

[Number of species: 74431 (Quack ape); Number of control guidelines: 1307 (Quack ape); Ratio: 2% (Quack ape). 】

"It has become at least 2%." Kong Huan laughed at himself, probably the most irresponsible main consciousness.

"There are... so many!" But Lingxue was obviously shocked by this number.

Although Lingxue also knew that it was impossible, once he imagined that when all the quack apes gathered together, the mountains and plains would be filled with quack apes...

"The road from Gaga Mountain to the calcium carbide mine may be repaired in a short time."

"..." Is your resentment against this path so great?
But it's good to be scared, if Lingxue doesn't respond to this number, then Kong Huan will be depressed, and at this time Lingxue is immediately drawn to the association by this number, which makes Kong Huan sigh that he is still a good seedling, this child has a bright future ,Ok.

"Okay, this is all in the future. What you need to know now is that the rocky dirt road must be built, and it will be built within this year." Waving his hand and pointing to the distance, Kong Huan looked very energetic at this moment, quite pointing the country. territory.

"And after that, there are double stone dirt roads from the double scythe lair to the calcium carbide mine, and the ghost stone dirt road from the Hell Territory to the calcium carbide mine, etc. In short, you have to remember that we need to connect all the same kind with roads, and use roads to Promote exchanges, spread civilization with roads, rule this continent with roads...well."

Speaking of this, Kong Huan felt that he was a little emotional, imagining that the isolated world was connected by roads, and a gleam of brilliance flowed through the ghost of Kong Huan: "This is the first step to rule the double moon star!"

And Lingxue below has been shocked by the illusory blueprint, or the brain is short-circuited, because the amount of information in Lingxue's brain is still unable to understand the meaning and scale of ruling a planet. It is more effective around the calcium carbide mine (tea...).

"Well, the bird was excited just now, let's get back to the topic."

A drop of cold sweat rolled down Lingxue's forehead. It seemed that you were always digressing, but whoever called the other party a big boss, and I admired him again.

"So, this road is basically the main goal of the four major nests of calcium carbide mines this year."

"Because of my body, my body basically stayed in the temple, and even if I died, it would be buried under the temple. As for the specific details of the road construction, we will talk about it later, and this road is not the lair of Gaga Mountain Do it alone, and the calcium carbide mine lair will also contribute, so you don't have to worry too much." Looking at Gaga's body leaning against the wall not far away, Kong Huan muttered a little depressed: "If you do it now The few bodies that can use the editing space are fine, I heard from 8051 that those bodies seem to be immortal."

Looking at the warm sun that is three poles above the sun, the climate that has just entered spring is slightly cool and not hot, which is a good time for the so-called spring sleep, but it is a pity that Kong Huan has no blessing to endure it. No, his body must be sleeping all the time, so it is the consciousness of Unreal Blessed to endure.

"Anything else?"

"Yeah," Lingxue shook her head after looking at the work notes she had made from her studies, "Not for the time being."

"Then you can go to your own business, and it's time to further solve the calcium carbide problem."

After looking at the shrine where only tiles and "decoration" were left, Kong Huan walked towards Chu Qin and other Gaga team members who had begun to relax.

……

"Tree, tree, where are you, we are all looking for you..."

"Chu Zheng, did you find it there?"

"No."

"Hey, why can't I find it? Oneiroi means a tree with white seeds."

"Yeah... Hey, Chu Xia? Did you find it there?"

"I don't have any here either. These flowers are so beautiful."

"Forget it, there doesn't seem to be any here, let's continue to the north." Kong Huan looked at the surrounding woods, and called the Quack team to follow.

Now that the construction of the temple has begun to finish, and because the breeding season is over and the quack apes have been liberated from hard work, most of the flying quack apes don't need to participate in building houses.

Therefore, except for a few priests who continued to stay at the temple site to experience life, Kong Huan handed over the rest to Lingxue Lingyun for coordination and handling, and then personally led the Gaga team and began to search for the calcium carbide tree along the road in memory. .

But because I discarded the seeds along the way last time, it is very hard to find them now, and I don't know if any have grown.

As for the calcium carbide seeds that were carried on the other members of Gaga's team back then, thinking of this, Kong Huan felt the corners of his mouth twitch: "These guys actually used the seeds as snacks on the road and got rid of them."

Looking at the dense forest, Kong Huan curled his lips depressedly, why is it so dense, and he had to find a tree by himself but couldn't find it.

"found it!"

"Ah Lie!" A voice suddenly came from the front, choking Kong Huan for a while.

But there was no complaint about it, Kong Huan's eyes lit up, and after a while, he saw a silver-white but slightly dry seed wrapped in Chudian's tentacles, and handed it to Kong Huan.

"Yes, it seems like this!" Excited, it seems that calcium carbide trees can really grow on ordinary land, but since they cannot be touched, in order to confirm the illusion, they can only circle around the seeds and use their mental power to carefully explore the specific conditions of the seeds.

"Chu Dian, discharge the seeds!" This is the best test method, because calcium carbide can attract and conduct current, and if it is calcium carbide seeds, it should conduct weak electricity.

Although he was a bit puzzled by the command of the empty illusion, Chu Dian immediately released an electric current at the seed.

With the support of the energy core, Xiangyi Quackape's electric power has reached the level of directly carbonizing the meat. If this seed is an ordinary plant, it will probably be directly carbonized. If it is touched a little, there will be no dust left. .But if it is a seed containing calcium carbide, it is likely that only the carbonized part will be formed, and the calcium carbide will condense under the strong electric attraction.

"Yes, this is it, where is it!" Under the strong current, the surface of the seed was completely carbonized.

Chudian's tentacles trembled naturally, the outer ashes drifted away with the wind, and a group of irregularly shaped calcium carbide particles condensed inside appeared like this.

The slightly silvery particles indicated that there should be some other ingredients besides calcium carbide, but Kong Huan didn't mind, because Kong Huan didn't feel any toxic hazard from it.

"It's better to use the seeds directly to absorb more easily. After coagulation, the absorption effect is at most better than using calcium carbide ore directly."

"Take me there quickly!" There was a reason for Kong Huan to be so excited. The existence of the calcium carbide tree in the original northern lair had been confirmed, but the existence on the outer common land had not been confirmed.

If it can be confirmed, even if there are not a few calcium carbide trees in ordinary land, Kong Huan can transplant a large number of branches from the northern nest, and use the ability of plants to cultivate a large number of calcium carbide trees to supply future species gathering places.

And in this way, the calcium carbide tree may become the first plant actively propagated and cultivated by animals.

In the illusory ore hunter ability, no calcium carbide mine was found in the entire Phantom Spirit Territory, and only the cemetery in the northern lair was regarded as a calcium carbide accumulation point.

If calcium carbide trees do not grow in the above places, it at least shows that calcium carbide trees can survive on ordinary land.

The previous seed looked a bit dry, which made Kong Huan a little worried. Could it be that calcium carbide seeds on ordinary land are so malnourished?

"Oneiroi, it's here."

"..."

"right here?"

Kong Huan felt that he had been tricked. This is a flat land, and there is not even a half-meter-high grass. Although there are still a few dry calcium carbide tree seeds on the ground, it is impossible for calcium carbide trees to grow.

"It was moved here by animals or something." Unacceptable, an idea suddenly popped up in Kong Huan's mind: "If this is the case, then there should be calcium carbide trees around."

"Find it for me! Look around here."

For Chu Dianneng's careful discovery of the calcium carbide seeds that fell on the ground, Kong Huan approvingly comforted the other party's spirit: "Chu Dianneng did a good job, but we need to find a tree with white seeds. A tree grown from seeds that can condense calcium carbide under electricity."

Scanning around, this place looks like a small open space, the reason for the vacancy is unknown, and Kong Huan is not interested in understanding the endless mysteries in nature. "I'm just busy enough taking care of my species."

The trees around the clearing are all ordinary tall plants, and there is no calcium carbide tree in the phantom memory.

"Oneiroi, I still haven't found the tree with the kind of seeds you mentioned." Chu Qin said regretfully after summarizing the results of the members.

"Really." Looking up at the setting sun in the west, Kong Huan summed up today's actions: "The appearance of this seed at least proves that calcium carbide trees can survive on ordinary land, otherwise it is still a short distance away from the northern lair. distance, few animals would move seeds so far."

"Well, although we haven't found that kind of tree, the main purpose has been basically confirmed, that is, calcium carbide trees can grow on ordinary land. It's already half-afternoon, everyone try to keep up."

Immediately raising the altitude, Kong Huan accelerated and drifted towards the northern lair: "That's it for today, we will go directly to the northern lair to transplant calcium carbide trees."

……

"Dream God, who are you?"

Looking at the members of Quack's team who were all hugging the branches, Lingxue thought for a while, and she was sure that this was another idea of ​​the Oneiroi, so her curiosity was immediately aroused.

"Lingxue, these are good things. From now on, the demand for calcium carbide in the lair will depend entirely on them." Pointing to the calcium carbide tree branch in Chu Qin's hand beside her, she said vainly and triumphantly.

"Rely on them?" Although she had great trust in Kong Huan, Lingxue looked at the branches covered with soil, which seemed to have something called flowers that appeared in Oneiroi's dream, and she still didn't quite believe that it was nothing but flowers. Trees that can be seen everywhere can solve the problem of calcium carbide in addition to burning firewood.

"You will know in the future." You can know the other party's suspicion without thinking and perception, and under the depression of the empty fantasy, you plan to continue to hang Lingxue's curiosity.

"Hey, for those with strong curiosity, not being able to get an answer is the most painful thing, Quack, we evil bird."

When he first arrived at the northern lair, Kong Huan was very skeptical when he saw these calcium carbide trees with small flowers. If it weren't for the appearance of the calcium carbide trees and the location of the other party in his memory, Kong Huan might think that the calcium carbide trees were extinct.

But soon, Kong Huan discovered his mistake.

"So it's spring now!" Looking at these flowers, such words came out after a long time of emptiness, and the members of Gaga's team on the side almost fell to the ground collectively.

Yes, it is spring now, Kong Huan knew it clearly, but forgot the important factor of the seasonal changes of plants.

So when seeing these flowers, Kong Huan remembered the order he had given to Gaga's team: "Tree with white seeds".

In fact, there is no such thing now, because they are still blooming, and this also made Kong Huan finally know why he couldn't find those calcium carbide trees after searching all afternoon.

It's not that there is nothing, but that the goal was set wrong from the beginning.

"We have an afternoon."

The seven branches were transplanted by Kong Huan to one cemetery, two shrines, and four roads. In the next few days, Kong Huan took the Gaga team back and forth between the northern lair and Ga Ga Mountain. On the way, more than a dozen young calcium carbide trees over three meters high were found.

Therefore, when the temple was finally completed, more than 50 calcium carbide tree seedlings had been planted along the roadside of the entire Gaga Mountain, plus the temple and the cemetery. This is because there are not many calcium carbide tree seedlings in the northern lair.

"These calcium carbide trees can solve our calcium carbide problem? Oneiroi." Looking at the two rows of small trees beside the road, although Lingxue was a little skeptical, she still assigned and managed these small trees full of beautiful flowers according to Oneiroi's order. Tree.

Looking at Lingxue, Kong Huan continued to hang on to the other party's curiosity, while he looked at the newly appeared No. 11 sub-targets [Plant Planting].

"Okay, even if they are fine, then Oneiroi, the next thing I want to talk about is the sacrifice..."

Even?Empty and speechless, but I am used to trees growing by themselves in nature, and now it is really difficult for the quack apes to start planting by themselves.

"Take your time, there is an adaptation process for everything, isn't it?"

Looking up at the majestic temple, listening to the praises of Ling Yun and other priests, the illusory expression produced a trace of confusion.

"The temple, it seems more like a temple?"
