Forty Millenniums of Cultivation Chapter 2347: The lifeblood of underground!
"What is your eyes Ah?"
Li Yao was seen by Li Jialing as full head, and the monk Zhang Er was puzzled. "Why did I read the meaning of" caring "from your eyes, what happened!"
"Nothing."
Li Jialing has his eyes narrowed and solemnly said, "I just hope that Brother Yao knows that no matter what kind of Great Dao I ultimately choose, and no matter what kind of person I will become, I will never forget that you are me Yes ... Dear, in my heart, your weight is even heavier than Your Majesty the Empress. I really treat you as a big brother. I hope you have been peaceful, uh, and healthy. "
"Is it?"
Li Yao felt the sincerity of Li Jialing and grinned, "I really treat you as a younger brother. In short, younger brother, do n’t be fooled by the female devil of Long Yangjun. Do n’t encounter some small darkness and difficulties. Drilled the horns of the horns, in short, let's go step by step, save the world and what can be put first, first learn how to draw the sword to help, see the brave for the **** to help the weak and what is also very good, in short, Brother Yao has confidence in you One day you will realize the essence of cultivation Great Dao and become more powerful cultivator than Brother Yao! "
"Maybe."
Li Jialing said, "I still have to walk more, see more, think more, and then choose the final path. Only then can I run on my Great Dao without looking back!"
The two said, unconsciously, they reached the deepest part of the town.
This is a rock wall that is hundreds of meters high, but it is full of honeycomb-like caves. The diameter of each hole is about 3-5 meters. The fence is woven outside with vines, and the inside is "humming. "the sound of.
Countless underground people carried a lot of moss, vines and mushrooms on their shoulders, and even a bucket of finely crushed ore, and fish penetrated into the cave. It can be seen that the weight pressed on them is extremely heavy, which weighs on their bones. Suddenly bursting out, showing his blue muscles, his expression was gritty and painful.
Sometimes, the people deep in the cave emptied the moss and vines, and came out with a bucket of odorous manure. The burden was finally reduced. The original ugly face appeared the usual numbness.
Li Yao and Li Jialing are VIPs here. The underground people did not prevent them from entering the cave. They did n’t even dare to make eye contact. They lowered their heads and walked past them in a hurry.
When the two entered a cave at random, they saw dozens of rock bugs being raised.
Rock insects are really not like bugs, they are more like chubby pigs, only slightly slender, the length can reach 3-4 meters, and the diameter is also about two meters, like an oval-shaped big meat ball.
It is more appropriate to call them "rock dolphins" than to call them "rock worms".
Li Yao do n’t know if the rock worms originally had feet or claws, at least they ca n’t see any organs for action now, maybe they are all covered by overlapping fat.
This is a kind of Spirit Beast which is extremely slow in action, like a sloth, curled up like a statue in the depths of the cave. Li Yao doubts that they even have the ability to forage for themselves.
The "humming" sounds were not their calls, but the breathing sounds from the vents above their heads. These stupid and lazy Spirit Beast were too lazy to make a half sound. .
The underground people chopped a lot of moss, vines and mushrooms, plus the finely ground ore mixed together, stirred evenly, and put it into the feed trough, a few rock worms slowly gathered around, The cruciform gap was split on the "head" that could not see the eyes, spraying intricate white silk threads, wrapping the food into snow-white **** and rolling into the cruciform gap, which was considered to complete an eating action.
While the rock worms were eating, the underground people bypassed them, went deep into the cave to collect their dark green feces, and scraped every corner carefully, without letting a trace pass.
There are also some underground people, holding long-handled brushes, scrubbing **** rock insects, Li Yao initially thought it was to be cleaned and slaughtered to eat, but a closer look was wrong, it was originally underground Give Rockworm a relaxing massage!
It can be seen that rock bugs are almost the only means of production for all Residents in the 10084 area. Their feeding and care of rock bugs is really extremely painful.
Li Jialing told Li Yao that Rock Worm is an Star Ocean Empire Era 10,000 years ago. It is a very good edible Spirit Beast after a lot of gene modulation. The earliest research has been carried out even during the Fiend Beast Empire period, which is good at biochemical technology.
Rock worms can devour up to tens of thousands of the most coarse-grained food ingredients, including ores containing large amounts of trace elements, which are converted into large amounts of fat and protein. In the harshest environment, they supply the energy necessary for Human Race to survive.
Rock bugs are all treasures. It combines some special spider and silkworm genes to wrap food threads. It is also a good textile raw material, and it peels off the skin once a year. It can also make leather clothing that is both light and warm.
Also, the excrement of rock insects hardly needs to be refined, and is a natural fertilizer, suitable for the nourishment of most plants and even mushrooms and mosses. It can make wild plants domesticated by Human Race into crops with skyrocketing production.
It can be said that in the colonization of the unknown area of Human Race Expeditions, as long as rock insects are carried, the two key problems of "clothing" and "food" will be solved, which in turn lays a solid foundation for the development of agriculture.
It ’s just that too much genetic modification has been made in terms of "omnivorous" and "availability", and the consequence of rock worms desperately growing fat and protein qualitative is that their mobility and predation ability are greatly weakened, which is almost zero. .
This is a life of birth in the laboratory. It is extremely difficult to adapt to the harsh life in the wild under the premise of maintaining the existing traits. It can only be honestly stayed in the breeding room and raised by Human Race.
When designing these underground shelters for Star Ocean Empire ten thousand years ago, there is naturally a set of extremely advanced and sophisticated automated feeding equipment to ensure that this "meat factory" continuously outputs energy products, from the beginning of the rock The worms mate to a box of ready-to-eat meat encapsulated in cans, and the entire process does not require many workers and breeders to manipulate.
However, with the erosion of the years, the old automated feeding equipment has long been depleted of energy, fragmented, and no longer exists, and the original knowledge of feeding rock insects has long been lost. Today ’s underground people can only use the most primitive Ways to feed them.
Since the rock worms can grow so much meat and have a huge amount of food, they cannot go out for food. They all rely on underground people to gather moss, pull off the vines, cut off the mushrooms, dig the ore, and grind and mix. Putting it into the feed trough is very heavy manual work. The 3-5 brawny man worked all day long until he could barely satisfy the appetite of a rock worm.
In order to ensure that Subterranean World can grow so much moss, vines and mushrooms, it is necessary to continuously put rock and insect feces into the stone cracks, and then carefully serve various crops. Subterranean World was not suitable for crop growth. Even the smallest cluster of moss was irrigated by blood and sweat from underground people.
Because the true fully automatic feeding trough has been destroyed for a long time, the rock bugs are not adapted to the environment deep in the cave, so people have to massage them every day and night, forcing them to move up, otherwise the rock bugs will soon Black spots grow out, and the flesh and blood inside are necrotic and you can't eat them.
These jobs accounted for 99% of underground people, 99% of the time, it can be said that the entire 10084 area is around "rock worms".
Li Yao quickly calculated the ratio of the number of rock insects to the number of underground Resident based on the number of stalagmites, stalactites and caves on the rock wall that I just saw, and found that the number of rock insects seems to be relative to the population of the 10084 area. There are too many, even if you kill all the meat, you ca n’t eat so much. If you can raise a few heads, ca n’t people be more relaxed?
Li Jialing shook his head and said that he only knew one thing but not the other. As I said just now, although underground people have worked so hard to feed so many rock bugs, they are usually reluctant to eat large pieces of meat. There can be a small piece every few days The meat is finely chopped and mixed into the meat porridge.
Most rock insects have shed their skins three times, and when they are fully mature, they must be carried to the above town, that is, the "four-digit area" numbered between 1000 and 9999, in exchange for precious energy, for civilian use. Magical Artifact and weapons.
The underground Resident in the 10084 area is not a completely ignorant savage after all, they still retain basic language and culture, and a small number of Magical Artifact and Great Array are still running, and they are eager to know what the world above is like. Materials and fuels must be replaced by rock insects, but various synthetic foods in the world are popular. Rock insects cannot be sold at too high prices. 3-5 head rock insects may not be able to change to a standard Crystal Origin Case.
Even if they clenched their teeth, do n’t need any Magical Artifact and energy, at least one essential material must be purchased in the above town, that is, fresh compressed air, and maintenance of air circulation and filter system components.
The towns of tens of thousands of meters in underground, even with the largest and most efficient ventilation system, continue to introduce fresh air on the ground, it is also a very depressing and dull world, full of various deadly poisonous gases.
Exhaust gas from Human Race once accumulates too much, will also cause everyone to die.
So, underground Resident can waste all Magical Artifact, not even the overhead lighting Glyph Array, and become a ghost in the dark, but it is impossible to discard the air circulation and filtration system.
Once the air circulation and filtration system fails, the super-high compression fresh air should be released in time to gain valuable repair time.
Without air, it is more terrible than without sunlight. It is a real disaster.
The Resident of four-digit cities and towns is the fatal weakness of the underground people of five-digit cities and towns. The lion has a big opening, and the price codes of related Magical Artifact components and compressed air are opened to a very high level. Change to a small can of compressed air.
So, the Residents in the 10084 area are working hard every day to plant and raise, not only what they wear and eat in their mouths, but also vital, the air that they ca n’t live without even one second. !
