Ark Journey

"'Sarkaz Swearwords', how much did you put in there?"

"A lot, I can't count, but it's full anyway."

"Okay. By the way, you know more than me. From now on, if you think you can do something, just do it. You don't need to come to me."

"You really trust me, Hedley. But if that's the case, I won't let you down."

After the chat, they said goodbye and waited for Xue Zhi to leave. Ines suddenly poked her head out of the tent and asked, "Are you done chatting?"

Hedley carried the heavy box, and then handed the papers in his hand to Inès: "Ah, it's done, you can take a look at these, Xue Zhi is really a talent, thanks to W for bringing him back, otherwise we really don't know how to deal with some things."

Inès rolled her eyes at Hedley, then noticed the thing in his hand: "I'm naked, can't you come in and show me again? It's full of red gold?"

"Yes, I exchanged it for a piece of Pure Originium. This is only a small part."

“That’s really a profit.”

If both parties feel that they have gained, it is called a win-win situation.

Out of politeness, Xue Zhi did not use mental detection, otherwise, knowing that Inès was here, he would definitely tease Hedley. Besides, it was really hard to tell anything from Hedley's weather-beaten old face.

Back in the tent, W gave Xue Zhi another little surprise.

"Xue Zhi, take a look and see if you want this thing."

Some white, almost spherical crystals lay in W's palm. This was the urea that Xue Zhi asked her to try to make before she left. She didn't expect that she could make it so quickly.

"Yes, that's it."

After receiving these treasures, Xue Zhi breathed a sigh of relief. If she could make this, the problem of fertilizer industry would be easily solved. Then she could find a craftsman who knew how to engrave Originium to make it into a convenient spellcasting unit and then connect it to the Originium energy output equipment to realize mass production.

Although he can come up with a lot of things, being able to produce independently is the long-term approach.

Seeing Xue Zhi so happy, W stepped forward, hugged his neck, and kissed the corner of his lips: "Since I did so well, shouldn't you reward me?"

Xue Zhi was somewhat surprised at her quick recovery: "Now?"

Pulling his hand and pressing it on himself, W showed his usual smile: "Of course, don't look at me like that, I'm not such a fragile person, and Her Highness Theresa must want me to live a good life instead of being depressed every day."

Xue Zhi suddenly felt that kind of spiritual mutual feeling was also very good. Now he could feel W's joyful and happy state. At least he didn't have to worry about this girl trying hard to deceive him.

Xue Zhi, who understood her burning thoughts, exerted a little force on her hands, "As you wish, W."

......

It was not until late at night that the two finished their work, but Xue Zhi had not forgotten to dig the canal.

W, with a blush on his face, still enjoying the afterglow, looked at Xue Zhi who suddenly stood up, not knowing what he was going to do: "Xue Zhi?"

He leaned over and kissed her swollen red lips. Xue Zhi, who was still full of energy, smiled and said, "I'll go out and do some work. Have a good rest."

After a simple wash, Xue Zhi walked out of the tent and stretched herself facing the moon in the sky. W's body was really wonderful, but she would not be happy if she indulged in it.

"Work, work."

As he was muttering, Xue Zhi's body suddenly floated up, and then flew in the direction of the river in his memory.

About 5 kilometers away, a not-so-small river appeared below, and at this moment many animals were drinking water by the river.

Xue Zhi landed quietly, and after choosing a position, he began to work.

A large amount of magic power surged into the staff, and the earth element began to guide the soil along the river to disappear in large pieces, but no sound was made during the process. These huge amounts of matter seemed to have been deleted from this world.

Floating in the air, Xue Zhi moved forward quickly along with the expanded river channel, looking at the increasing number of mud, clay, and gravel blocks in the warehouse and rubbing her chin: "These things are also useful. Keep them for now and see where to put them later."

His portable warehouse was very large, so it was not difficult to store the earth for the five-kilometer canal.

Under the moonlight, an inconspicuous line seemed to extend slowly but was actually fast across the earth, and Xue Zhi, bathed in the moonlight, was like a painter painting.

Early in the morning, W, who had a good sleep, came out of the tent, and a gentle mist was brought to her face by the wind.

After sighing, she realized something was wrong: "It's really comfortable, no, why is there such a strong vapor in this place?"

Walking in the direction where the water vapor came from, W met many people who were as curious as she was.

Then, they saw a wide river that suddenly appeared at the edge of the settlement. The water was clear and flowing slowly. People with good eyesight could see several scaly beasts swimming near the river bank on both sides of the river.

Shocked, W thought of Xue Zhi's words: "'Sarkaz swear words', could this be what Xue Zhi was talking about last night?"

On the way back, W saw Xue Zhi who was also walking back, but he was coming from another direction.

He traveled a long way to find a tail for the canal.

Xue Zhi, who also noticed W, came over and asked, "How do you feel?"

“Did you dig this out?”

"Of course, I had planned to spend more than a few nights, but I found that I was efficient enough to finish it in one night."

"...I'm beginning to doubt whether you are a researcher. This kind of power is too abnormal."

"maybe."

Chapter 65: Prelude to Large-Scale Soil Improvement

Xue Zhi no longer cared about concealing his identity, because it was difficult to conceal it. As time went by, his strength became stronger and stronger. It was impossible for an ordinary researcher to reach this level. Moreover, the high-intensity work all night did not make him feel tired or depleted of magic power. He was becoming less and less human.

Outside the tent, W rubbed his hands and said to Xue Zhi, "You've worked all night, take a break, I'll get you something to eat."

Xue Zhi was also curious about what W could cook for him: "Okay."

I have to say, although W only knows how to cook potatoes, the potatoes she bakes taste pretty good.

After dinner, Xue Zhi rushed to the town police station to look for Ross, who knew some farming knowledge.

Ross was pulled out from training: "Deputy Captain, you're looking for me?"

After greeting the captain in charge of training, Xue Zhi took him away: "Well, stop the training here and follow me."

Next to the farmland where the crops were not growing well, Xue Zhi explained her method of improving the soil, and Ross listened quietly.

"how do you feel?"

Ross agreed with Xue Zhi's agricultural knowledge: "It's not a big problem. If the deputy captain can provide the village with food for half a year to a year, then we can break up the crops we are growing now and the next crop and turn them into green manure."

Then he added: "But we may not have so many people right now. They are all exploring around, and I heard that there is some discovery somewhere."

Xue Zhi stroked her chin and thought about the solution: "Manpower is indeed a big problem."

He could do all this work by himself, but he didn't intend to do so. Digging a river was enough work, and these people had to support themselves.

Soon, Xue Zhi thought of what to do: "Go to the clinic to help, and then sell some medicine for treating mineral sickness, so that the villagers can take care of their land themselves."

Then he looked at Ross and smiled: "Brother, didn't you say you wanted to take a break and farm? Here's your chance."

Ross nodded, squatted down and grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground: "Yeah, I don't really want to participate in the battle. I'll just spend the rest of my life with the land."

Leaving Ross in the fields, Xue Zhi ran to the clinic opened by the mercenary group. There were a lot of people there.

The clinic was the fastest system to be built. All the doctors in the mercenary group were moved here. Although these people were only good at treating simple illnesses, it was better than nothing for the people in the village.

Seeing Xue Zhi, several doctors greeted her:

"Deputy Captain, why are you here?"

These people respected Xue Zhi the most, and they admired his extraordinary medical skills.

Xue Zhi expressed her idea to them, and they all agreed. This was because there were many elderly people with chronic diseases and disabilities that they could not handle, and if Xue Zhi could come and cure them it would save them some trouble.

So, Doctor Xue Zhi came back to see patients, and the clinic, which had been delayed for a few minutes, reopened.

The waiting patients were a little curious when they saw the new doctor. The old man who had met Xue Zhi once limped over.

"Young man, are you still a doctor?"

"Yes, old man, you can call me Xue Zhi. Let me show you."

The old man waved his hand and said, "Don't bother. My leg has been lame for several years. Just give me some painkillers for the rainy days."

Xue Zhi lit up her hands: "My Originium skills are very special. As long as there is no congenital problem, it can be cured."

"Really?"

"Don't worry, I swear on the honor of Captain Hedley."

"It's not that serious. Let's give it a try."

Xue Zhi brought up Hedley's name, and it seemed to be somewhat useful.

There was a flash of light, and amidst the crackling sound of bones being reshaped, the old Sarkaz man, who was sweating profusely from the pain, let out a long sigh of relief. However, he was also a tough guy and did not even cry out.

After standing up and taking two steps, the old man who had been limping was now able to walk briskly.

"Hey, it really works, but it hurts a bit."

Xue Zhi smiled and took out a test tube from the shelf next to her: "I'm not kidding you, this is a drug to suppress mineralogy. Everyone gets one, please take it."

If the previous treatment was acceptable, then this potion is not something that ordinary people can take out.

The old man asked, "Does everyone have one?"

Xue Zhi glanced at the people around her and confirmed: "Yes."

Then he stood up and said to everyone in the clinic:

"Everyone, the mercenary group plans to take root here. In order to meet daily food needs and grow various cash crops, we will reclaim land around us in the near future. Today, I am here to treat you and distribute medicines so that everyone in the village can participate in our work and build a common home with us.

If you have this idea, you can go to the field to find a man named Ross after you finish your treatment here. He is waiting for you there. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have this idea. I will be here to see patients in the next few days, and you are welcome to come for treatment as well. ”

After Xue Zhi's speech at the clinic, many people came to him to seek treatment for various diseases and disabilities that had troubled them for many years, thanks to Mr. Benson's publicity.

After Xue Zhi cured his legs and relieved his symptoms of oripathy, he felt like a new man. At this moment, this old man who has been dealing with the land all his life is discussing the specific matters of using green manure with Ross on the ridge of the field.

In the evening, Xue Zhi, who had just finished a day of seeing patients, came to the fields. A large group of farmers with ideas had been discussing for a whole day and were waiting for him to take out the remaining rations to ensure that no one would starve to death so that they could start growing manure to fertilize the fields.

"How's the communication going, Ross?"

"That's absolutely no problem. We have enough manpower."

"Row."

【-twenty four】

Looking at the group of people standing expectantly on the ridge of the field, Xue Zhi didn't keep them in suspense and released four diamond boxes with a wave of her hand.

This is the storage box of his automated farmland. Because the molecular recombination instrument and UU material generator are often idle, he became too lazy to tidy it up after cleaning it up a few times, resulting in it being often full.

"There is enough food in here for us to eat for a year. There are my Originium Techniques on the box. The space inside is larger than the outside. You can come and take a look."

Several farmers opened it and took a few looks, then said that what Xue Zhi said was correct. It was filled with crops such as carrots, potatoes, and wheat. They were of good quality and large in size. One of them even took out a big pumpkin that was wider than a person.

With these foundations, the plan they had been discussing for the entire afternoon could finally be implemented!

Chapter 66: The beginning of change

The group of people were busy until late at night. After getting rid of the burden of mineral disease, the cured Sarkaz elders worked hard in the fields as if they wanted to fully experience the healthy bodies that they had not been accustomed to in all these years.

Several powerful searchlights cast the shadows of these working people on the ridges of the fields.

They are also Sarkaz, one of the most physically powerful races on this land. Even though they are a little older, they have no problem farming.

Xue Zhi also participated in it, but he limited his strength and worked only twice as fast as an ordinary person.

The soil was turned over to ensure air permeability, water was brought in to keep the soil moist, and then some new soil that Xue Zhi had just dug yesterday was spread on it. Then, the grains that had almost grown were chopped up and buried deep in the soil. Finally, a little water was poured on it to help the organic matter rot underground.

The canal dug yesterday is now useful. The convenient water source and large amount of new soil make it possible to improve the soil on a large scale.

Slightly wealthier families who can afford to raise livestock also bury some fermented manure to enhance the effect of green manure.

Xue Zhi touched his chin when he smelled the feces, thinking about asking the mercenaries who were out exploring if they had seen any animals. If so, he could catch them and raise them in the village, or he could lay a few eggs himself. If one family couldn't afford to raise them, everyone could raise them together, and they could both collect the feces and slaughter them for meat.

Then he looked at the bare field in the distance. There were only some tree shadows in the distance. The night wind blew, and a thin layer of sand swirled up with the wind. The idea of planting some trees to prevent wind and sand, and to collect organic matter such as fallen leaves, emerged.

Xue Zhi, who had planned what to do next, glanced at the time on the system panel. He stood in the field and said, "It's already late. Let's go to bed early. We are not in good health and should not work too hard."

His voice was not loud, but with the help of his strength, everyone in the fields could hear it clearly. Moreover, his previous deeds of curing most of the villagers also made those who benefited from him listen to him very much.

The reputation of the nameless village +500, the current level is Revered (Music).

The villagers began to pack up and go back one after another. They looked a little unsatisfied and would probably start again early tomorrow morning.

Old man Benson changed his previous hunched appearance. He walked straight to Xue Zhi with a hoe on his shoulder, then bent down very respectfully.
