Teyvat: The road to becoming a god begins in the desert

In the continent of Teyvat.

Elemental power is not ethereal, invisible and intangible.

Through artificial technology, it is possible to synthesize crystals of this element.

However, active elemental crystals like this are still extremely rare, and the difficulty of refining them is not ordinary.

This is also the main reason why the Benefit of Abundance is so powerful.

“The recipe comes second.”

"Grass element particles are the key."

Rhodes shook his head and gave up the idea of ​​researching the formula of Bountiful Bounty.

This is simply not something that can be replicated by one's own strength.

Concentrated elemental crystals.

This kind of thing is a technical secret that must be firmly controlled by the country no matter where it is placed, not to mention that the elemental crystal of Xumi is so unique.

Rhodes had serious doubts.

This elemental crystallization in Fengwo's Eri probably also used the power of the Grass God.

This is even more impossible to reproduce.

"Forget it, just use the ready-made ones."

Putting away the bounty, Rhodes took out a small notebook and wrote a lot of words densely in words that had never appeared on the continent of Teyvat.

Do not misunderstand.

Not a diary.

Who is a serious person who keeps a diary?

Rhodes wrote about the things that will be used in the planting experiment tomorrow, as well as the specific experimental steps.

Chapter 19 Rhodes’ true thoughts

Farming in the desert.

This is no easy task.

Even in Aru Village, which has water and land and is called a treasure land flowing with gold by other desert people, the food output here is only enough for the villagers to fill their stomachs.

Moreover, a lot of the food in Aru Village must be used as food reserves to prepare for food shortages in the event of natural disasters.

This necessitated the purchase of some low-priced grain from the Order House every year to fill the vacancy.

And after this period of observation.

Rhodes also discovered a problem.

That is, Aru Village does not raise livestock.

Including the crocodiles that the tribal people in the desert area like to keep, they don't keep them either.

to this end.

Rhodes went to ask Attia and the others.

The answer I received was that there was no money to do it.

Whether raising herbivorous livestock or carnivorous crocodiles, this requires a large investment.

All income in Aru Village is used to maintain the livelihood of the villagers.

It is true that there is considerable profit potential from raising livestock and crocodiles, but just this initial investment is not something that Aru Village, which follows the rules, can afford.

about this point.

Rhodes could only say one regret.

Conservative thinking harms itself.

Yes, that’s old school thinking.

The old people in Aru Village, like the desert people, are extremely hostile to people in the rainforest area.

Before Candice became the guardian, the entire Aru Village was an extremely closed and traditional desert village, guarding its own three-acre of land and living the same life year after year.

It wasn't until a few years ago that Candice officially took over the shield and spear that symbolized the Guardian.

She secretly planned with the village chief, Uncle Anpu, and successfully introduced rainforest traders to Aru Village, and within a few years, she built Aru Village into a trading center in the desert.

It was also the first transaction.

The retired old guardians of the village angrily surrounded Uncle Anpu and Candice's home, demanding that they drive the merchants in the rainforest area out of Aru Village.

The result was that Candice used personal force to silence these people.

"The big fist is the last word."

"It's like this no matter where you go."

Every time he thought about this, Rhodes couldn't help but laugh.

The development of Aru Village is obvious to all, and all of this is inseparable from this tough-minded guardian.

However, although the business aspect has been relaxed.

But Aru Village can only rely on business to make a living, and this kind of business also attaches great importance to the face of Xumi City.

Even an outsider like Rhodes can see it.

The current glory of Aru Village is all based on the fact that the Ecclesiastical Council allowed them to do business with the rainforest area.

If the village continues to have no sideline development as it does now, the hidden dangers will still be very great based on the attitude of the Order towards the desert people.

From this point of view.

Aru Village is not even as good as the desert tribe Tanit.

When it comes to hostility to the rainforest area, the tribal people are no worse than Aru Village.

Other desert tribes.

If they don't rob the merchants, it's a sign of respect. It's just a dream to expect them to do serious business.

Only the Tanit tribe is an alternative.

After the elder named Babel came to power, they started trading with the Rainforest District, and chose the Adventurer's Guild, which the Church of the Lords had no control over, as their main trading partner.

that's it.

Relying on business, smuggling, hunting, robbery, and real desert cultivation, they suddenly became the top tribe in the desert area, and they also attached themselves to a number of small tribes who did not have enough to eat.

Although Rhodes hated the Tanit tribe deeply.

He also had to admit something.

That is Babel of the Tanit tribe. She can definitely be called a true hero. Both in terms of vision and means, she far surpasses the leaders of other forces in the desert area.

To put it bluntly.

Candice still needs to take care of the opinions of the elders in the village, but Babel has no scruples and even wants to kill all those old people to facilitate her rise to power.

This is also the reason why Rhodes has always clearly hated the Tanit tribe but was unable to take revenge.

With such a leader, it is conceivable how powerful this tribe is.

Rhodes didn't think that with his current ability, he could kill this tribe as easily as the yellow-haired traveler.

Therefore, before he has absolutely strong personal strength, if he wants to take revenge on the Tanit tribe, he still needs the support of Aru Village.

So how can he win Aru Village's support for him?

The first thing that came to Rhode's mind.

Just farming.

Even though Aru Village is now self-sufficient in the food it produces every year.

In fact, their farming methods are very backward.

The land in the desert area itself is not fertile enough, and they do not know how to rotate farming. The annual harvest is highly dependent on the benefits of fertility.

This is also another major hidden danger in Aru Village.

If the Imperial Academy cuts off its abundant benefits, Aru Village will immediately fall into a food crisis.

Rod is doing it now.

Through this experimental field at home, I first tested out crops suitable for farming in Aru Village, and then figured out how to use the land with serious soil erosion outside the village to expand food production in Aru Village.

Talk about it.

Rhodes had another thing to be thankful for.

Said it before.

Aru Village is a place used by the Order to exile scholars.

Although these scholars were expelled, they still maintained the usual arrogant attitude of the scholars of the Order Academy, and they were completely dismissive of the goodwill released by Aru Village.

Rhodes knew that among these scholars there was a scholar of the Life Theory School.

The so-called Sheng Lun School.

This is a school of thought founded by Xumi god Daci Shuwang himself when Xumi was founded. The earliest sages of the Shenglun School even followed Dacishu King to conduct research on how to cultivate rainforests. His specialized subjects are, Including biology, ecology, medicine and other sub-disciplines.

In simpler terms.

Students of this school are either farming or raising animals.

If the Sheng Lun sect scholar is willing to help Aru Village.

Then the shortcomings of Aru Village, which only relies on the benefits of abundant fertility to plant a few crops over and over again, can be improved long ago.

But he didn't do anything.

Even more infuriating.

Aru Village obviously provided him with good food and drink every day, and also provided him with the best house in the village. However, he moved alone to a barren mountain far away from Aru Village and refused to step into Aru Village. Half step.

This is just cheaper for Rhodes.

He didn't need to think too much, he knew that Candice and Uncle Anpu must also know what the current problems in Aru Village were.

Otherwise, why would you keep trying to show your favor to that scholar of the Bioscientology School every day, only to be rejected all the time?

"call--"

Rhodes, who had been busy all day, wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at the land that had been cultivated in front of him, and said with a smile: "Grow up, grow up quickly, when you are all grown up, my The good days are coming.”

Chapter 20 Farming Life

[On the 7th day after planting, the experimental plot that received the benefit of fertility sprouted. 】

[The first one to sprout was the bald bean, which is growing well. 】

[On the 11th day, all the crops in the experimental field that received the benefit of fertility sprouted, but not a single seed germinated in the experimental field that did not receive the benefit of fertility. 】

[On the 14th day, the experimental field without the benefit of fertility finally sprouted, and the Bald Bean was still the first to sprout. This plant has strong vitality, is not very picky about its growth environment, and its growth cycle is also very short, so it is very suitable. Cash crops in desert areas. 】

[On the 15th day, a sandstorm came. All the test fields that had no fertile benefits were destroyed in this sandstorm. Desiya was right. The soil erosion here is indeed very serious, and the resistance to the sandstorm is almost It's zero, but nothing happened in the other experimental field. I didn't apply anything special. It should be the effect of the bounty of fertility. It's really magical. 】

[On the 16th day, I dug some caragana and came back. Unexpectedly, the name of this thing was the same as that of my previous life. I used this thing to make a wall, which should be able to reduce the damage of sandstorms. 】

[On the 18th day, I asked the farmers in the village for some dry wheat straw that they didn’t want, and tried to make some grass grids. If I remember correctly, it should be a grass grid effect of 1×1 meter in size and 10-20 cm high. most. 】

[On the 28th day, the test seedlings treated with Fertile Fertilizer have bloomed and grown very quickly. They seem to be early maturing species. (Note: Even the sellers of the seeds sold in Aru Village don’t know what kind of crops they are selling. Those Sheng Lun scholars at the Jiaolingyuan are really damned.)]

[On the 30th day, the seeds in the grass squares sprouted faster than before. It seems that caragana and grass squares have good water-fixing abilities. 】

[On the 34th day, the second sandstorm hit. This time, both experimental fields were safe and sound. The stability of the caragana and grass grid was reassuring, but this fertile benefit, no, should be said to be crystallized from the grass element. The ability to fix water and increase fat is really amazing. Can this thing really be made by manpower? 】

Rhodes closed his notebook and looked thoughtfully at the two pieces of land in front of him with completely different growth patterns.

Aru Village is vast and sparsely populated.

The house that Guangdao Rhodes rented came with a piece of flat land that was much larger than the land occupied by the house.
