Chapter 430 Spell Strengthening
"Can you not trouble Lady Flora?" Gothe had a gentle smile on his face. Looking at the little Flora, he suddenly felt challenged and his competitive spirit was aroused. He immediately flew forward and stroked one of the blood crystal wheat.
"Awakening from dormancy, rusty iron, barren and fertile." The next moment, Flora let go of her hand and spit out three nouns from her mouth.
This is the secret of blood crystal wheat cultivation that has troubled the world for a long time and that the Holy Empire has firmly grasped in its hands.
After asking in detail, Gothe finally knew all the details.
To be honest, both the name of Blood Crystal Wheat and its appearance and function are very misleading. People immediately think of blood, such as blood watering and so on.
Even Gothe thought so.
Hong the Holy Empire, there are more or less rumors spreading that blood crystal wheat needs to be planted in the red soil flowing with blood.
This has caused countless people who want to steal the seeds to frantically try to water the blood crystal wheat with various kinds of blood.
Or you can look for a variety of red land similar to volcanic rocks to grow blood crystal wheat.
The ending is naturally a failure.
But the fact is that the method of growing blood crystal wheat has nothing to do with blood, and it has nothing to do with the so-called red soil.
The reason why it is red all over is because it can synthesize a substance similar to "heme" after it matures, causing its own color to change.
What it really needs for its cultivation and growth is a high concentration of "iron" element.
Blood crystal wheat needs soil rich in iron to grow and mature normally.
It is not difficult to achieve iron-rich soil.
Just bury rusty iron filings or even iron ore into the soil.
The iron element released during the rusting process of ironware will be absorbed by the blood crystal wheat seeds.
The cost of growing blood crystal wheat is much lower than imagined.
Gothe didn't think about this before Flora said it, but after Flora said it, Gothe couldn't help but slap his brain.
Hyperreplenishing blood, in many cases, is not just iron supplementation!
It’s too reasonable.
Gothe even suspected that whether it was the name Blood Crystal Wheat or the secret of blood crystal wheat cultivation spread within the Holy Empire, there was a high probability that it was a smoke bomb deliberately released by the Holy Empire, just to confuse those seed thieves.
As for dormancy awakening, it refers to the fact that Blood Crystal Wheat itself has the characteristic of dormancy.
This characteristic allows it to be stored for a longer period of time.
But it also means that the blood crystal wheat must be soaked in acidic liquid for at least three hours before planting in order to release this dormant state.
Without this step, it would be impossible to germinate the blood crystal wheat seeds directly by sowing them.
The last word "barren and fertile" is more "abstract".
In a rough summary, blood crystal wheat can only grow on barren land, and blood crystal wheat cannot be grown on fertile land.
Of course, this is just a superficial appearance. The fundamental reason is that various plants have grown on fertile land.
They will leave corresponding traces in the land during their growth. Even if you eradicate all these plants, it will take a long time for these traces to disappear completely.
Blood Crystal Wheat is like a picky young master who simply will not accept these lands that leave traces of other plants.
On barren land, there is often no grass growing. On the contrary, there are no traces of the growth of other plants. As long as it can meet the conditions of iron and some basic nutrients, it can thrive.
Such a personality has led to the emergence of the strange phenomenon of barrenness and fertilization.
Without Flora's extremely domineering talent, who would have thought that blood crystal wheat would be planted in the wasteland.
Those seed thieves must all be eager to provide the best conditions for blood crystal wheat, but such behavior is completely opposite to the correct method of growing blood crystal wheat.
With such three levels of protection and three levels of unexpectedness, it is no wonder that the Holy Empire has not banned the trading and circulation of blood crystal wheat. However, after so many years, there has never been a second family growing blood crystal wheat.
"It's not difficult to achieve..::.:" After listening to what Flora said, Gothe's eyes gradually brightened.
"To wake up from dormancy, only acidic liquid is needed. This is too simple. Whether it is the gastric juice of animals or the whey separated from fermented dairy products, they are all acidic liquids with strong acidity and fast effects..."
"And Phoenix is close to a volcano, so that's really not possible. There is sulfide-acidic water underground in the volcanic area."
The first point is not difficult to solve.
The second point is the same.
There are iron mines around Phoenix, and under the more primitive living conditions, there were a lot of rusty iron tools in each tribe.
The third point.::::
The northern tundra permafrost is known to be barren. Except for a small amount of moss and lichen, there is basically no green at all.
Looking for barren land in the north is equivalent to looking for water in the sea.
"Immediately carry out cross-breeding of blood crystal wheat and cold-resistant wheat, and strive to breed the second northwest barley variety as soon as possible." Gothe went through it in his mind, and after confirming that there was no problem, he immediately clasped his fists to Flora and solemnly said: "It depends on Lady Flora. 」
"Thank you for your hard work, Flora. If the No. 2 northwest barley variety is cultivated, the people of Phoenix will respect Flora even more." Sunaifa, who had been "cold" throughout the whole process, suddenly interjected at this time.
The same solemn face, the same hands clasped in fists.
“!” Flora, who was still a little careless at first, looked serious.
This feeling that everyone is eagerly anticipating every word she says and carrying a heavy burden on their shoulders...：：
"Let's rely on Lady Flora!" Her tone unconsciously raised a notch, and the joy in it could not be hidden.
Gaode is also extremely assured of her abilities.
Although she is clear and ignorant, in the field she is good at, her reliability is unmatched.
"Ms. Flora is responsible for cultivating the No. 2 northwest barley species. On your side, you are going to start preparing to build a new farm specifically for planting the No. 2 northwest barley species." Gothe turned around and spoke to Sunaifa again.
For highly developed agriculture, zoning is a very basic but necessary thing.
It is also said that Blood Crystal Wheat also has the buff "Barren Growth and Fertility".
"Let's call the new farm Flora's Fertile Farm." Gothe looked at the excited little man and said with a smile.
"Flora's Fertile Farm?" Upon hearing her name, Flora immediately raised her long pointed ears alertly.
I really admire it. 」
This is half sincere and half "fun".
“No one can reach it~~” Flora once again hit the point.
Jinhui Farm, which is used to grow the No. 1 barley variety in northwest China, has cultivated 600,000 acres of land a month and a half ago.
While Gothe left the northern border, Sunaifa stopped the expansion of Jinhui Farm and devoted himself to planting all the reclaimed land with the No. 1 northwest barley species.
Northwest barley No. 1 seed is originally ripe in April. Thanks to Flora's efforts, the yield per mu has stabilized at 180 kilograms and is on the way to 200 kilograms per mu.
As long as all 600,000 acres of land are planted with Northwest barley No. 1 variety, the average daily output can reach 900,000 kilograms.
This output is enough to supply 1.5 million people.
As for Flora Fertile Farm, the first phase goal set by Gaode is only 100,000 acres for the time being.
This was not a difficult task for Phoenix, who already had experience in constructing Jinhui Farm, so he quickly skipped the topic after it was determined.
"My king, I have sold northwest barley No. 1 to the Frostwolf clan in large quantities according to what you said at the beginning." Sunaifa reported another situation.
"Did they realize something was wrong?" Gothe asked.
Although the northern border is backward, it does not mean that the people in the northern border have low IQs. He does not dare to look down on these people.
"No, their only reaction is that they think the price is too expensive, and they keep negotiating with us, asking us to lower the price when they purchase in large quantities." Sunaifa pursed his lips slightly.
Although their idea is to use the No. 1 northwest barley species to suppress the Frostwolf clan, they hope that the proportion of the No. 1 northwest barley species in the Frostwolf clan’s food will be as high as possible.
But in order not to arouse the suspicion and alertness of the Frostwolf clan, Sunaifa set extremely high conditions for the sale of the No. 1 barley species in the northwest.
First of all, the quantity is limited, and it is impossible to sell as much as the other party wants. Another point is that the price is not low, and only "Ice Marrow" is accepted for purchase.
This was naturally very uncomfortable for the Frostwolf clan, but it also made them never doubt Phoenix's true purpose of selling grain, and focused all their attention on bargaining.
People are like this. They tend to be suspicious of things that are too cost-effective. When it comes to expensive things, they only care about the price.
Gao De couldn't help but smile when he heard this, "Stay with them for a while, and then lower the price to them appropriately."
hip According to the current situation, within a few years, they can rely on food control to take down the Frostwolf clan without a single blow.
"Although Winter's Hammer is also buying Northwest Barley No. 1 from us, their dependence on Northwest Barley No. 1 will definitely not be as high as the Frostwolf Clan. It is impossible to win Winter's Hammer with this alone."
"There is no rush. We must first capture the Frostwolf Clan and break the current three-legged confrontation." Gothe waved his hand and said casually.
In fact, with the current development speed of Phoenix, in just ten years, the three-legged situation will naturally break down and become one super player with multiple powers.
Of course, if the Frostwolf Clan and Winter's Hammer can be conquered before this, Phoenix's development speed will definitely be able to reach a higher level, but if there is really no other way, there is no need to force it.
Still the same sentence:
Development is the last word.
I have only been away for a month and a half, but for Phoenix, which is changing with each passing day, there are already many problems and directions that require Gaode's advice and decisions.
Especially in the administrative system, education and Phoenix construction.
Because they are all new things introduced by Gothe based on the experience and knowledge of previous lives, not to mention Sunaifa, even Aisha, who has some experience in "governing", is confused in many aspects and needs Goode to clear up her doubts.
Therefore, the meeting between the three of them lasted from dusk until the moonlight soaked through the window.
Walking out of the city hall, Gaode turned around and walked to the place where the hunters of the tribe raised earth-line creatures.
The last time he left the North, he ordered the restart of the mission to capture earth-line creatures.
It has been a month and a half now, and it is harvest time.
Of course, it’s still the same problem. The first-order earth-line creatures that are common around Phoenix have already been harvested, and there are really not many fish that have slipped through the net.
In addition, if Gothe wants to obtain a complete origin point, he needs a full seven creatures of the same type.
So, after the "Blood Hand Beast Slaughter" was over, Gaode's first-level origin point only increased from 3 points to 6 points.
This time he didn't save anything.
With the promotion of leveling up and the awakening of expertise, what should you do with your roots?
Although it is not sure whether the added spells will have an impact on the strength of the awakened expertise.
But it is better to kill by mistake than to miss. Before promotion, you must try your best to do your best.
6 points and one level of origin, the three rare spells that have just been mastered, must be the highest priority, so click on them all first.
