Chapter 573 Incubation (additional update for accumulated 600 monthly tickets)
With the completion of the brick-burning factory, Zhou Xu immediately summoned all the confirmed brick-burning workers and asked them to prepare to start work.
During the construction of the brick-burning factory, they have confirmed the raw materials here and performed some preliminary processing of the raw materials.
Now that the brick-burning factory is completed, they can start work immediately.
Closing the document in front of him, Zhou Xu, whose work had come to an end for the time being, couldn't help but slump on the metal seat of the temple.
"It's so hot."
The season has reached midsummer now, and it is actually quite cool inside the temple. It is even hotter outside, but this still cannot change the fact that Zhou Xu is smoking hot at the moment.
There was no need for him to say anything during this period. The attendant next to him quickly poured him a cup of herbal tea and handed it over.
"Your Majesty, drink tea."
Taking the tea cup, Zhou Xu drank it all in one gulp. This summer, he really relied on herbal tea to survive.
After coming to the tropical rainforest, I discovered the leaves of many plants, improved and upgraded the herbal tea formula, and added new ingredients such as mint leaves to make the taste more refreshing.
After drinking the herbal tea, Zhou Xu regained his energy and devoted himself to the work in front of him.
At this moment, Bo Levin rushed over with a happy face.
After this period of time, Bo Levin has lost a lot of weight, and even his movements have become more agile. Now he can trot all the way.
“Your Majesty, the eggs in the sacred incubation pool have begun to hatch.”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xu's eyes suddenly lit up.
“Let’s go and have a look.”
Early before, he had asked Bollevin about when the eggs in the sacred incubation pool would hatch.
Bolewen estimated the time and told him that the earliest batch should be this month.
However, due to the passage of time, this matter was temporarily forgotten by Zhou Xu.
Now that he got the exact news, Zhou Xu didn't hesitate and immediately set off for the sacred incubation pool!
As he walked out of the hall, needless to say, four elf knights led by Silk immediately followed him.
Apparently they have also finished their vacation and returned to work, and now they have become knights of their king's personal guard.
The main task is basically to follow their king every step of the way and ensure the safety of their king.
During this period, the attendant followed him, stealing glances from time to time.
At first, he was still wondering why their king suddenly sent out a personal army.
Looking at their king striding in front, followed by four elf knights, he is really majestic!
But fortunately, it’s their king who has a face that doesn’t look out of place even among a group of elves. If he were an ordinary human man, how could he eat like an elf knight? Follow behind as a guard?
While the attendants were thinking wildly, Zhou Xu and the others had already arrived at the side hall with the sacred incubation pool.
Zhou Xu, who has been here before, is familiar with the place.
I don’t know if it’s because of the special effects of the Sacred Incubation Pool, but even in the middle of summer, there is no peculiar smell caused by the excessive heat.
At the same time, Zhou Xu was also very lucky. When he walked in, he happened to see a small beast stretching out his hand from the broken eggshell within his sight range.
With a simple tearing action, the eggshell wrapping its body was quickly broken, and then a lizard man the size of a baby crawled out and fell into the pool.
This scene made Zhou Xu’s heart skip a beat.
“Doesn’t it matter?”
"Your Majesty, please rest assured that for newborn lizardmen, soaking in the water of this sacred incubation pool can improve their physical fitness and allow them to adapt to the outside environment faster."
said. At this point, Bollevin's voice stopped.
"They only have this one chance in their life, and they won't have to take another chance in the future if they want to."
"..." In any case, just know that they are fine.
Looking around, there are already many newly hatched lizardmen soaking in it. They do not look in pain, but rather feel a sense of comfort.
"Approximately how many can be hatched in this wave?"
"There should be four to five hundred."
Bolewen estimated a number. .
Under this premise, Zhou Xu undoubtedly has new questions surrounding these lizard-man babies.
"Then what are the next arrangements for these children? Will their parents come to take them back? But the question is how can their parents tell them apart?"
Faced with this question, Boleven shook his head.
“No need, they will be fed uniformly next.”
Zhou Xu was stunned when he heard this.
Probably sensing Zhou Xu’s doubts, Bo Levin made a ‘please’ gesture.
"Your Majesty, please come with me."
As he spoke, Bo Levin led them out of the side hall and to another location.
Different from the previous incubation room, as soon as he opened the room here, he smelled an obvious smell. The smell made him feel a little uncomfortable. His instinct was telling him that there was probably nothing good inside. thing.
This was indeed the case. The next second, the sight that greeted his eyes made him feel obviously uncomfortable.
What I saw in that house were large and densely packed flesh worms!
"Ah, don't tell me they eat these?"
Although this is a question, Zhou Xu undoubtedly already knows the answer in his heart at this moment.
“Yes.”
Bolaeven nodded.
"To be precise, they eat the white ones, which are very clean and rich in nutrients. The ones next to them that have turned yellow or even black are overgrown, and the surface of the body has hardened and grown long. Out of the carapace ”
"..."
In fact, aside from the physical discomfort, Zhou Xu did not doubt Bo Levin's words.
Those fat white meat bugs, if you pinch their heads, the protein is probably not six times that of beef.
To put it bluntly, he also ate bugs and mice for a long time when he first traveled through time.
What he didn’t expect was that on the lizard people’s side, these turned out to be ‘baby food’.
According to Zhou Xu's idea, the newborn baby should be breastfeeding.
But then he thought about it and realized that the lizard people did not seem to be mammals.
Those lizard-man babies have probably completed their most basic growth and development when they were still in the eggs.
So after hatching and adapting to the environment, they can start eating immediately.
External factors aside, from the perspective of nutritional value alone, these white meat worms are probably impeccable high-protein nutritious food.
In addition, some insects have always been part of the lizard people's food to supplement the nutrients their bodies need...
