Today's Pandan Mountain is as busy in autumn as it is in spring.
In addition to the fact that the force food in the Longcypress and Molan territories are maturing one after another and need to be harvested and dried in time, the task of harvesting ordinary plant fruits is even more arduous.
General plant harvesting work is divided into three major items.
The first major item is that fresh and dried fruits are harvested and refined into ant honey when they are ripe, and then stored in categories.
The second major item is the selection and breeding of high-quality seeds.
All kinds of ordinary fruit trees planted in Pandan Mountain are over 20 years old. The slowest-growing green torreya, thick torreya, and torreya trees all entered the fruit-rich period a few years ago, and now they have also entered the iterative optimization period. .
When a fruit tree enters the fruit-rich period, it is necessary to examine the tree vigor, fruit yield, and fruit quality. Those that are not ideal will be eliminated.
High-quality fruit trees with good vigor, high yield and high-quality fruits are retained. We continue to observe and select particularly outstanding fruit trees as "plant trees". Every year, we collect the best fruit trees from the best-growing branches. of fruits, select the plumpest seeds and save them.
The selected seeds are used to cultivate new seedlings. After multiple rounds of elimination, the best seedlings are selected to replace the pits of eliminated fruit trees.
Zerg breeding and optimization of planting is a long cycle of optimization and elimination.
Pandan Mountain is now gradually entering a virtuous cycle, and aging trees will have to be eliminated in a few years.
Such work will not yield results in ten or twenty years; it will definitely yield results in one hundred or two hundred years; in those large tribes, after one thousand or two thousand years of optimization, it will inevitably A large number of high-quality cultivated tree species can be cultivated.
In the autumn of Pandan Mountain, there is a third special task, which is the collection of seeds of plants through hybridization and grafting.
This is a clever method given by Ye Xiang's God-given Seed. It is a way to cultivate high-quality new plants, stimulate the laws of nature to send God's gifts, and obtain God-given seeds.
It seems to be effective, but it seems to have no effect...
Chestnut Bean, Green Flower Cold Orchid, and Snow Orchid, these three God-given seeds seem to meet the conditions of the law and are born from the God of nature.
However, Juniper focuses on the hybridization and grafting of two major types of fruit trees, grapes and kiwis, and has also created many new varieties that grow robustly, but it has failed to trigger the divine gift.
……
Autumn is busy.
This year, the first batch of black and yellow fruits from the god-sent seeds are about to mature.
Juniper simply placed his working place on a hill with black and yellow roots.
Yinbai will form a soldier ant formation, led by mountain master-level specialized soldier ants, and take large, medium, small, and large soldier ants to the tree to harvest, sort them into categories, and send them to Juniper.
Juniper cypress directs worker ants and blue ants to perform four tasks at the same time: searching for God-given seeds, refining ant honey, selecting ordinary seeds, and screening hybrid seeds.
Among all the command ants, Juniper is the most similar to Dragon Cypress and has a very powerful ability to handle complex affairs.
The giant cypress leads a large group of soldier ants to guard around the black and yellow god-given seeds and guard the fruits on the tree.
"Giant cypress! My frog!"
Heihuang, who had been quiet for a while, suddenly sent out intense mental thoughts.
“Oh——”
Jujube, who was busy checking the seeds of Juniperus, responded. He had no choice but to run to the pool under the hill to check the situation.
The spiritual power born from the evolved mountain master level can communicate with the god-given seed of Longbai Ant King. This is the most painful thing about ant life.
Dealing with Nanqian and Black and Yellow is simply more troublesome for ants than fighting termites.
The black and yellow main vines meet the blue water energy field.
Black and yellow also imitate the blue, raising fish and frogs...
But it doesn't understand these at all, and it can't direct the ant colony to work.
Black and yellow command Jucypress to help...
Giant cypresses can eat fish and frogs, but raising fish and frogs is not.
The frogs kept in the pond always run away...
"Black and yellow. The autumn is getting colder, and the frogs are looking for places to dig holes to hibernate."
Giant Cypress He commanded the soldier ants, caught the escaped frog, and reasoned with him sincerely.
“I know!”
Heihuang is also a reasonable tree, saying: "Giant cypress, you let them dig holes in my territory to hibernate."
Ju cypress: "..."
Ju cypress: "Counting the time, the king will return to the mountain soon. The king must know what to do."
"Really?"
Heihuang: "Longbai is back!"
< br>
Jubai: "Huh?"
Heihuang: "Longbai is back."
"Oh——"
Jubai shook his tentacles and didn't pay much attention. , immersed himself in helping Jue Bai, but realized something was wrong, and looked up at the sky.
The Dominion Throne flew into the territory of Xianglan Mountain and fell rapidly from high altitude towards the azure god-given seed at an angle.
——The king has returned to the mountain!
Jucypress and Juniper gave instructions to the ant colony, simply packed up and took inventory, and ran towards the Zhanlan Reservoir in unison.
Before I ran down the hill, I saw the throne of control flying low in the sky again, following the black and yellow main vines.
“Longbai Ant King!”
“King!”
Junipers and giant cypresses greet each other. I haven’t seen him for half a year, and I am very friendly. I am also eager to know the situation in the purple linden country.
"Longbai Ant King, is everything going well? Is the seed given by the god Bai Barberry growing smoothly?"
Jiunbai asked.
Long Bai said briefly: "Everything is going well, the tree is now more than 30 meters tall."
30 meters? !
Both Juniper and Giant Cypress shivered in fright: So fast?
Long Bai solemnly said: "The effect of composting the corpses of Force life far exceeded expectations."
Ling Chong made a very uncomfortable discovery.
Long Bai issued a stern order: "From now on, the ants that age and die in the kingdom are not allowed to be buried under the plants of destiny."
"I understand."
"I understand. Your Majesty."
Juniper and Jucypress agreed.
Long Bai skipped the topic, raised his paw and pointed at the vines, and asked: "What kind of frog? What about digging holes to hibernate? What kind of trick is Black and Yellow doing?"
Jiun Bai A brief explanation: "Black and yellow are imitating the blue. It also wants to raise small animals, but it cannot command the ant colony and does not know how to build an ecological system."
Ju Bai pointed to the pond not far away and said: "Over there, I helped it catch a few frogs, but they always ran away."
Long Bai: "Uh..."
Long Bai waved his tentacles and said: "Don't spoil it."
Ju Bai: "..."
Ju Bai was stagnant and thought for a while. Said: "The noisy black and yellow ones are quite troublesome."
Long Bai: "Ignore it."
Ju Bai: "Your Majesty, the seeds given by God have their own consciousness. They are rooted in the soil and cannot move. It's quite boring. Black and Yellow and Nanqian always like to use strange things. way to attract our attention."
Jubai: "If you ignore them, I am worried that it will affect healthy growth over time."
"...That's right! >
Long Bai thought seriously and said: "Then when I'm not around, juniper cypress and giant cypress, you should go over and communicate with them."
Junbai: "Okay. But, Longbai Ant King, when can I evolve to the Mountain Lord level?"
Longbai: "There are a lot of God-given seeds that need to be harvested this autumn. I'm busy. It’s over. The harvesting in Fragrant Orchid Mountain should be over. Juniper, please follow me to the Purple Lime Worm Country, where you can sleep and evolve, and then replace the fragrant cedar.”
Junbai said happily: “I understand. , Your Majesty! "
Jubai raised his front legs, pointed to the pool not far away, and asked cautiously: "My Majesty, do you have a way to keep those frogs for the winter? "< br>
Long Bai: “No.”
Long Bai said to Heihuang who had been chattering to him: "In the coming year, sprinkle duckweed and other aquatic plants in the pool, and plant various weeds around the pool to attract insects to come and look for food. Naturally, frogs will follow. , they stayed in the pool."
Long Bai couldn't resist, and then asked: "Is the black, yellow, and blue water energy field good for your growth?"
Black and yellow: "???"
The main vine of black and yellow spreads straight towards the blue reservoir, with lush branches and leaves. No need to ask more, you can see that it has some benefits.
Long Bai ignored it and directed a small soldier ant to climb the tree and pick a grape fruit to taste.
The seeds are small and fleshy.
Not yet ripe, slightly sour.
Juanbai observed Longbai's reaction and asked at the right time: "How is it, Your Majesty?"
Heihuang also asked: "Longbai, is it delicious?"
< br>Long Bai gently touched his tentacles and said: "The taste is okay, the fragrance is very strong, if you expose it to the sun for two more times, the fruit will be ripe and the taste will be very good."
"The quality is acceptable, but the seeds are a little small. If they are sold to the flame spider caravan, they can only sell them for 4 rough stones/piece. The pulp can also be sold for 4 rough stones/piece..."
Heihuang said hurriedly: " Then the question comes... Long Bai, let me test you. One grape seed has 4 rough stones, and one grape seed has 4 seeds. There are 21 in a bunch, and there are 184 bunches in total. So, how many rough stones can be sold in total? "
Long Bai: "..."
You are really boring~
Can this kind of low-level question stump me?
Long Bai: "77,280 rough stones. The flowering and fruiting cycle is 4 years. After excluding the investment of rough stones during the fruit ripening period, the annual income is about 18,000 rough stones..."
"Wrong! Wrong! Wrong!"< br>
Heihuang: "Wrong! I asked about grape seeds! I didn't ask you about the pulp! Long Bai, are you too stupid?"
Long Bai: "..."
< br>Black and yellow: "???"
Long Bai: "Yes. Yes. Yes. You are the only one who is smart."
Long Bai asked: "Heihuang, can you communicate with Zhanlan?"
Heihuang: "Can it be? Yes, but it doesn’t like to talk.”
Wrong!
It’s not that Zhanlan doesn’t like to talk.
It's because you're too mean, Zhan Lan doesn't like talking to you.
Long Bai thought for a while and said: "Next spring, I will arrange for Yinbai to evolve into the mountain master level, black and yellow. I will let Yinbai play with you." (End of Chapter)
