Chapter 87 Shanbei Reservoir (please subscribe)
(PS: I was careless last night, I’m sorry to all the book friends. There are 11 chapters on the shelves, and today’s update is chapter 12)
***
The ants are so powerful that it took more than twenty days to dig out a large pond where Molan's divine Gorgon seeds could take root.
On the hillside, a reservoir with a side length of about 6 meters has also been dug.
Several water diversion canals were dug horizontally, and the water would be filled with water only after two or three spring rains.
The number of special chemical worker ants has reached 300.
In the ant nest, newly cultivated large and medium-sized worker ants are born one after another.
Longbai and Juniper began to direct the ant colony to dig at the mouth of the valley. They first dug a ditch to redirect the river, and then dug deeper. They needed to dig out a ditch of more than 50 meters in length and 8 meters in width. The dam foundation with a depth of 2 to 3 meters requires a huge amount of work.
The wood cut down last year to clear up land for planting silver cypress has been used, and it is also used to build embankments. The quantity is definitely not enough.
Long Bai took the time to search around the mountain, cut the main trunk sieve tubes, and killed a batch of trees first, and then dried them in the sun in the summer. Then they could be cut down and transported directly.
Building a dike also requires the most important material: stones
If you don't hunt in spring, the juniper can't be idle either.
Are soldier ants capable of collecting stones?
Long Bai summoned Juniper and its 150 specialized soldier ants, 30 large soldier ants, and 30 medium-sized soldier ants.
In front of Long Cypress, various samples of large stones, small stones, gray-white, earthy yellow, dark brown, etc. are arranged in rows.
Juniper formed a group of soldier ants. A small group of 10 came forward one by one to learn how to identify them.
Long Bai kept repeating the signal: [Go to the mountains and forests to collect these stones and bring them back. No matter the size or shape, bring back those that can be moved]
A small team of 10 , after a brief training, Juniper rushed into the forest to look for it.
The soldier ants set off one after another, and soon came back one after another.
Juniper kept shaking its tentacles, ordered the soldier ants to pile up the stones brought back, and then set off into the forest in a small group of 10 to continue searching.
The worker ants and soldier ants cultivated by the Dominion Throne are obviously much more spiritual. Most of the soldier ants were able to return with the stones in their mouths correctly. Only a few were stupid and ran back with the prey. However, they found that the ant king asked for stones instead of food. They quickly threw them away, picked up a piece of soil from the ground, and pretended He was not discovered and slipped through.
Soldier ants have stronger obedience and discipline. They repeated it twice without making any mistakes.
There are a lot of large and small gravels in the mountains, and soldier ants can take on part of the stone collection work.
……
There is endless work to do, and time flies by.
It’s that time of year again when flowers bloom all over the mountains and traveling merchants arrive.
Long Bai calculated the time, packed his things, took Mo Lan and set off in a hurry.
The goods sold to the caravan this year are still simple, 60 azure seeds and 200 pandan seeds.
“Do you want to tell Bai Wei about the dragon cypress, the god-given seed of gorgon fruit?”
"Don't tell Bai Wei yet! Let's tell Luo Ji first next year. Moreover, we can't tell them that there are two trees. My idea is that Mo Lan, your God-given Gorgon seed is circulating in Yunji Continent, and my God-given Gorgon seed is circulating in Yunji Continent. The Gorgon seeds produced by the seeds are sold to the caravans."
"Oh——"
Mo Lan: "So, for ghost fans, red foxes, white rice, and mountain persimmons, they are also good. Just tell a gorgon fruit seed."
Long Bai: "Smart!"
Mo Lan: "If you don't tell Bai Wei, will we still borrow money from it this year?"
Long Bai: "Borrow."
Mo Lan: "Do you want to borrow money to buy a metal can?"
Long Bai: "That's not worth it. I mainly buy Force food."
Mo Lan thought for two seconds and said: "We already have enough trading capital, a rich variety of goods, and enough food for our evolution and growth. Why do we need to borrow money to buy it? We have to pay interest."
Dragon Bar: "Borrow an appropriate amount and enrich the categories of goods. In addition, it is also necessary to properly allocate force food to juniper, juniper, and giant cypress, at least to ensure that they can complete one age every year. Evolution. Conditions permitting, it is best to evolve in two stages each year.”
"Oh~ right!"
Mo Lan skipped the topic and reminded: "The spider silk bag is not enough."
Long Bai: "Please ask for more."
< br>Mo Lan: "Then you ask Bai Wei for 10!"
Long Bai: "..." Mo Lan smiled happily, thought for a while, and said as if chatting with nothing:
"Long Bai, there is a question that I have never been able to figure out... You see, we only have four trading partners: Ghost Fan, Red Fox, White Rice, and Mountain Persimmon. The force food we earn is enough for both of us. It has grown and evolved. There are millions and tens of millions of Zerg warriors in the Wanzu Continent. Why is Bai Wei so poor in such a rich place?"
Long Bai thought for a moment, considered his words, and said. : "There are many reasons. I will only tell you the two core points."
"First of all, the flame spider merchants are divided into five tribes, namely the round purple flame spider, the phantom flame spider, and the purple flame spider. Spiders, Watase Flame Spiders, White-legged Flame Spiders, there are many Zerg tribes in Wanzu Continent, but we are only exposed to the Watase Flame Spider tribe. Merchants pursue profits. When a place is rich, a large number of traveling merchants will immediately flock to it. If a tribe is rich, there will definitely be many caravans who want to enter it and get a share of the profits. However, the one who can finally obtain stable trading rights will be. Those large caravans with strength, and more caravans without strength, can only go to places where the insect population is sparse and the force is poor."
Mo Lan asked: "Bai Wei is... the kind of traveling trader who can only go to barren areas and trade with poor Zerg warriors?"
Long Bai: "Absolutely. It partners with Luo Li. , and sometimes trade with Luo Li's customers."
Mo Lan asked: "What about the second reason?"
Long Baidao. : "Over there in the Ten Thousand Tribes Continent, various tribes live together, and there are also interactions between tribes. Between the same tribes and the same tribes, and between tribes and tribes, they can trade with each other and exchange what they have. The Zerg warriors in the Ten Thousand Tribes Continent are facing the Flame Spider. The reliance on traveling merchants is much lower than that of Yunji Continent. Each Zerg warrior needs to find relatively little force food to sell and buy from caravans every year.”
It’s not difficult to understand~ Mo Lan: “That’s it! ”
…
…
…
Bai Wei jumped in line and followed closely behind the Zeqi Spider King into the flat square under the hill.
The Zeqi Spider King finds a good position, spits out the life seed, and takes root on the ground.
Bai Wei quickly moved her position and spit out the life seed.
"Zeqi Spider King, can I go trade?"
This time, Bai Wei learned the lesson and didn't run in a hurry. She asked the Zeqi Spider King first.
"Bai Wei, don't be impatient..."
The Zeqi Spider King paused for a while and said slowly:
"Last year, I heard Luo Li complain that the little ant king named Long Bai was getting more and more cunning. I think it is necessary to tell you the details of the travel business transaction in detail."
" No need. Luo Li told me a hundred and one times before coming here."
Bai Wei turned around and left.
Wander to the foot of the hill, speed up the hill, and run to the grove where the trade was done the year before.
“Molan!”
"Little Dragon Cypress?"
"Wow, that's the force food produced by your 'Azure God-Given Seed'? Blue seeds? What type of strengthening effect?"
After all, at the mountain master level, Bai Wei was able to detect the contents of the bag Mo Lan was carrying through the flame spider's special induction of the spider silk bag from a long distance away.
"The quantity is a bit small."
Bai Wei muttered, and before waiting for Long Bai's reply, he asked again: "Last year's fruits were ripe? Then your azure god-given seeds should bloom. Are you ready? How many flowers did you bloom this time and how many fruits did you bear?”
Long Bai was speechless and choked for a while, and then replied methodically: "The blue god-given seeds produce extremely delicious berries, which are different from any other fruit on the land. The pulp was eaten by Mo Lan and me. , there are only 60 blue seeds left. "
"The strengthening effect is consistent with the previous guess, which is the strengthening of the comprehensive water element ability."
"It has not bloomed in early summer." br>
Long Bai finished speaking.
Mo Lan helpfully added: "Long Bai is now an intermediate ant king, but Zhan Lanzi's force content and quality are already equivalent to high-level! A super-grade god-given seed from the ocean!"
< br>
Bai Wei: "!!!"
Excellent!
Finally it’s my turn to get rich!
Bai Wei was ecstatic and said: "Quick! Let me see!"
