Chapter 429 Farming Ants (Please subscribe for more updates)
In late winter, Molan Mountain.
The mutated orchids transplanted last year are blooming.
The 30,000 new seedlings cultivated this year began to be transplanted, which lasted for more than 20 days.
…
In the early spring of the new year,
Longbai sends red maples, white rice, white willows and black grapes to the kingdom of purple linden insects.
This guy Heiti is not brave enough, so he arranged to learn combat skills and war command from the Linnan Sacred Tree.
Baifan helped to dig a second large fish farming reservoir on the edge of the purple linden country.
Red maple and white willow help protect the god-given seed of white barberry.
This year, Longbai and Molan are in charge of Xianglan Mountain and are busy at Molan Mountain and Nanjuozao Mountain.
Take care of the God-given seed of the mulberry vine.
Transplanting, replanting and managing spade saplings.
By the way, you can also help take care of the white willow plants.
…
Time flies,
Mid-Autumn Festival.
The first batch of mutant molan seeds are matured, harvested, dried and sent back to Pandan Mountain and handed over to Zhanlan.
…
Late winter.
Zhan Lan began to sow the seeds of mutant ink orchid, and from tens of thousands of seeds, she looked for the seeds that could be mutated again and successfully take root, sprout and grow into seedlings.
At the same time, 50,000 mutant ink orchid seedlings bred through germination technology have initially grown, and Longbai is busy transporting them to the ink orchid mountain.
The cedar leads the ant colony and is responsible for the planting work.
Totaled up, there are really 100,000 plants, covering all the places suitable for planting in Molan Mountain.
By increasing the quantity, you can gain that tiny probability.
…
Half a month later,
The seed cultivation test of the first batch of mutated Molania seedlings was completed.
Unfortunately, all of them had deformed roots or leaf buds and died in the bud stage.
Orchid grass seeds have tiny particles, making it difficult to propagate offspring through seed cultivation.
It's definitely not going to happen in a year or two.
This is a job that requires care and tests your patience.
…
The new spring.
After careful consideration, Longbai arranged for Zhanlan to cultivate another 10,000 spade seedlings using bud culture technology.
Heiti and Bailiu are still staying in the purple linden country this year to receive combat training.
Long Bai personally led the team to clean up some orchards in Bailian Lake, Nan Zizao Mountain and Hanlan Mountain to free up enough land.
Significantly increase the scale of spade cultivation.
At the same time, it is also expected that the spade seedlings can be stimulated to further mutate through different climate and soil environments.
…
In the blink of an eye, it’s another year,
Mid-Autumn Festival.
The second batch of seeds harvested from the mutant mochi orchid.
Dry it and give it to Zhanlan.
…
At the end of winter,
the worker ants of the Azure Organization sow the mutant mochi seeds collected this year.
Half a month later, the cultivation test ended.
Unfortunately, they all still died in the bud stage.
It’s not a big problem,
Now that you are determined to cultivate a God-given Molan plant for Mo Lan, you might as well go all out.
Further expand the scale of cultivation.
Zhanlan continues to use bud culture technology to cultivate another 100,000 mutant ink orchid seedlings, expanding the cultivation scope to Bailian Lake, Nan Suanzao Mountain, and Hanlan Mountain.
If there is no outstanding new species that are enough to trigger the gift of nature, have stable characteristics and can be reproduced by seeds, Longcypress will add more plants year by year, up to the upper limit of 400,000 plants.
…
It’s spring again.
Molan Mountain, the first batch of transplanted spade trees bloomed and bore fruit smoothly.
Starting from this year, there are more things going on.
The insect crew arrangement has been slightly adjusted.
Mo Lan went to the Kingdom of Purple Barberry to guard the seed given by the god of Dian Baibarberry.
After Heiti and Bailiu finished their further studies, they returned to Heilian Lake and took care of both Heilian Lake and Nan Suanzao Mountain.
Long Bai is solely responsible for two places, Molan Mountain and Hanlan Mountain.
…
At the end of summer,
Molan Mountain, the first batch of spade fruits mature.
It is indeed as described by Zhan Lan. Compared with the black peach, the fruit is larger in size than the black emperor peach. The flesh is sweeter and not inferior to the black emperor peach.
The fruit color is also darker, and the ‘Spade’ is well deserved.
Long Bai directed the ant colony to harvest, collected the seeds, dried them in the sun, and sent them back to Pandan Mountain to Zhan Lan.
Zhanlan and Xiangbai are jointly responsible for the cultivation of spade seeds.
…
In early autumn,
the soul-fixing fruit of the Quandong sacred tree is mature and harvested this year. Long Bai counted the time, hurried over, took a look, and hurried back to Molan Mountain.
The third batch of mutant molan seeds are mature.
The number of seeds this year exceeds tens of millions. Harvesting and drying is a big job, and sowing management is even more troublesome.
To this end, Longbai has specially cultivated 2,000 small and micro worker ants in the past three years, specifically for sowing ink orchid seeds.
The seeds are divided into three batches.
Zhanlan and Xiangbai are at the Pandan Mountain Nursery, which is responsible for sowing most of the seeds.
Heiti opened a nursery in Heilian Lake and was responsible for sowing some seeds.
Long Bai also opened a nursery in Molan Mountain and was responsible for sowing some seeds.
…
Sowing in early winter,
half a month later, the results came out on the Longcypress side. As always, all the germinated seeds died in the bud stage.
Long Bai rushed to Black Lotus Lake to check...
Before entering the land of force, Bai Liu flew up to meet him, spinning around the throne of control with joy.
"Long Bai! Long Bai! Good news!"
Long Bai was excited and asked: "Have any Molan seeds survived?"
"No -"
Bai Liu's figure flashed and landed lightly on the top of the throne's backrest. He explained: "Aren't there a lot of Qianshan vetch planted under the orchard? Seeing that spring is coming again, Heiti went to tidy up the orchard in advance. I was bored and followed him in the garden. After taking a walk, I unexpectedly picked up a god-given seed!”
Bai Liu repeated: “Qianshan Wild Pea God-given Seed!”
Long Bai: "..."
Long Bai was speechless for a long time.
I try my best to plant orchids, but nothing comes of them.
Weeds planted randomly, it turned out to be...
Not bad at all.
If there is no mutation, the strengthening effect of the God-given Thousand Mountain Vetch should be the strengthening of the earth element affinity, which is more valuable than the strengthening of the comprehensive ability of the earth element.
Both are herbs, and their yield and quality are comparable to orchid grass.
At the Mountain Lord level, you can probably bring in more than 10,000 raw stone income a year, which is much better than ordinary life types.
Long Bai: "Bai Liu, did you find it?"
Bai Liu: "Yes."
Long Bai: "Then take it and breed it yourself as a god-given seed of life. The income from the output will be divided equally between you and Heiti."
Bai Liu: "!!!"
Bai Liu just wanted to ask about this.
According to the original agreement, Bailiu provided the plot of land, Longbai provided the working ant colonies and high-quality plant seedlings, and Heiti was responsible for cultivating and managing the orchard. In the cooperative operation, the god-given seeds produced belong to Longbai, and the income from the output is equally divided among Longbai, Heiti and Bailiu.
Black Lotus Lake is Bailiu's territory, and the god-given seeds produced in the lake and mountain wilderness still belong to Bailiu.
So, the question arises: How to count vetches?
Now that Long Bai said so...
"Okay!"
"Then I will evolve to the 4th age this year!"
Bai Liu happily promise.
Bailiu has always been poor.
It has been 12 years since it attacked the termite kingdom, and it has only completed two stages of evolution, and was immediately overtaken by Heiti.
Mountain Lord level evolution requires resources that increase significantly with age.
Without the longevity of Bai Bai Guo, Bai Liu would have no hope of even becoming a lord.
Long Bai: "Okay."
Long Bai: "Bai Liu, eat well. I will lend you 100,000 raw stones of God-given food. I will pay you back when you get rich in the future."
Can I get rich too? Bai Liu hesitated for a moment, then happily agreed: "Thank you Long Bai Ant King!"
Long Bai asked: "Where are the ink orchid seeds sown by Heiti? What was the result?"
Bai Liu: "...all dead."
——Okay.
——I knew this was the result.
Long Bai: "I will send Heiti to Nan Suanzao Mountain."
…
Long Bai went back to Xianglan Mountain to ask.
The same result, none of the mutant ink orchid seeds sown by Azure and Cedar could survive past the budding stage.
Then this year, an additional 100,000 plants will be added, increasing the number of mutant ink orchid seedlings to 400,000.
…
In early spring, sow the spade seeds harvested last year.
The results were obtained half a month later.
There are three situations:
The first type is that the seeds do not germinate.
The second type is that the seeds germinate and die in the germination stage.
In the third case, the germinated seeds grow into curled and deformed seedlings.
It seems that the situation seems to be better than the mutated Molan.
Zhan Lan selects deformed seedlings with less serious deformities, collects leaf buds, and tries to grow seedlings using bud culture technology to see if there can be any changes...
The results were soon obtained, and the seedlings cultivated through bud culture technology were all deformed.
Over the years, cedar has also been constantly trying methods such as hybridization and grafting, but failed in various ways.
It seems that the only way to find qualified seedlings is from seeds.
Long Bai was determined to dig up all the apricot trees in the orchards of Hanlan Mountain and Nan Suizao Mountain, and once again expanded the scale of spade cultivation.
