At this moment, Zhang Tie had just come out of the water. He was wet and looked a little embarrassed, but he was in good spirits. In the first round with the tenth-level strong warrior named Dawson on Demon Snake Island, he won, humiliated the guy, and escaped from under the guy's nose, so of course he had reason to be happy. This is not a battle skill, but a victory of spirit and will.
Dawson didn't say that he was level ten, but judging from his movements in dodging crossbows and his movement when escaping, they were almost the same as the bastard from the Zhen family who chased him in the Dragon Cave on the island. Zhang Tie can judge his level at this point.
As expected, Demon Snake Island sent a tenth-level master to kill him, which made Zhang Tie feel pressured and a wildfire in his heart completely burned. This Dawson was The first stepping stone on the road to becoming a strong person.
"Have the seeds of sea buckthorn started to catalyze?" Zhang Tie asked Heller.
"The first batch of 400 seeds has already begun to be catalyzed according to different investment plans. The first results will be known within three weeks at the fastest. If the seeds of evolved and mutated sea buckthorn trees appear, they can be used later. The way to increase the spiritual energy value is to make the seed grow quickly, bear fruit, and then obtain a large number of mutated and evolved sea buckthorn tree species!" Heller said calmly, "The spiritual energy value and basic energy reserve of the Black Iron Castle are okay. Support, but the daily increase in merit points is a bit slow now. The main source of merit points now is the release of animals arranged by the castle owner on Qianlong Island. Such releases can provide Black Iron Castle with 50 to 70 merit points every day. value."
Zhang Tie thought about it for a moment and remembered that because he had to generate the Flower of Life on the Aurora, he only had more than 500 merit points left. Now that he has to complete the catalysis of so many seabuckthorn tree seeds at once, it is estimated that those merit points are not enough. In addition, the accumulation over the past few days has been done.
"Just wait a few more days, and there may be a batch of meritorious deeds credited to the account!" Zhang Tie said with some uncertainty.
"Maybe?" Heller looked at Zhang Tie doubtfully, not interested in such uncertain things.
Zhang Tie scratched his head, "This is the agreement I made with others last year. If nothing happens, a batch of earthworms released may be worth the merit in a few days!"
Heller was relieved…
If Hannah's family will still abide by the agreement they made with them before leaving Brape, then probably in the recent period, Hannah's family will begin to retake the village of Chevri and its surrounding villages. The earthworms have been released. After a year of recuperation, the number of earthworms that were originally used for feed has returned to the previous level, and they should be ready for release.
But he has been away from Brape for such a long time, and he was forced to leave in the name of a wanted criminal. With no contact for such a long time, will Hannah's family still fulfill their previous agreement with him? At one point, Zhang Tie was not sure.
Although he is not in Brape now, the ability to control those yeasts given to him by the Fruit of Creation can still make the beer brewed by Hannah no longer the same as when Hannah won the Beer Queen of Brape Mouthfeel and flavour.
Zhang Tie didn't know how Hannah's family's life was now after winning the title of Beer Queen, and how much it had changed from before. If Hannah's family didn't fulfill their agreement with him, he could completely let Hannah's family live again. He became the same as before as revenge, but Zhang Tie didn't want to take this last step. At the beginning, Hannah's family was pretty good to him, and Hannah also brought him a lot of happiness. If Hannah's family really didn't fulfill the obligations between them, Whatever the agreed upon plan was, forget it, that's all it was for everyone, and Zhang Tie didn't want to see the woman he had a good relationship with end up with nothing.
You can think of other ways to calculate merit points depending on the opportunity. Zhang Tie doesn't believe that such a vast ice and snow wasteland won't even give him the chance to do good deeds. The worst he can do is return to the Ewendalla Islands and be regarded as a lunatic and a lunatic in the eyes of others. Just find a fishing area and do another big release for tens of thousands of gold coins.
"Speaking of earthworms, I have some good news to tell you, the Lord of the Castle. The earthworms in the Black Iron Castle have completed a collective mutation and evolution. A new earthworm species has just been born in the Black Iron Castle. Waiting for The castle owner named it!" Heller smiled.
Zhang Tie was stunned for a moment when he heard the news, and then he was overjoyed. It has been almost a year since the earthworms, bees, Yuanneng aura yeast, potatoes, corn and other species in the Black Iron Castle completed the work of re-evolution. He completely handed it over to Heller. Just when he was about to forget about it, he didn't expect that a new species was born in the Black Iron Castle. Although Zhang Tie has not figured out how these earthworms can help him yet, Zhang Tie's mood is filled with sunshine at the thought of eating another fruit of creation and controlling a brand new species.
Zhang Tie was about to open the control panel of Black Iron Castle to check, but was stopped by Heller.
Heller pointed at Zhang Tie's clothes that were still dripping with water at this moment, "It's not too late, Lord Lord, to change your clothes first and then check!"
Zhang Tie smiled and followed Heller's suggestion. We have arrived at the Black Iron Castle anyway, and there will be plenty of time later. What's the rush at this time
Later, Zhang Tie took a shower in the Black Iron Castle, then changed into clean clothes. He sat down on the chair in the room feeling refreshed and comfortable, and then opened the Black Iron Castle. Fort's Organism and Community Management Panel, under the Animal Management Program under Carbon-based Organism and Community Management, found information on what Heller calls the new earthworm species.
Three-dimensional holograms of two kinds of earthworms suddenly appeared in front of Zhang Tie...
The difference between the two earthworms can be seen just from their appearance.
The individual colors of ordinary earthworms before the mutation are red and reddish brown, which are also the colors of most earthworms. However, the body color of the mutated earthworm is based on the red and reddish brown, and its head and tail have two more colors. Circle black ring.
In terms of size, the mutated earthworms are much larger than the non-mutated ones.
Under this three-dimensional hologram, there is still a comparison of the differences in chromosomes and DNA of the two earthworms. Zhang Tie felt that he could not understand these things anyway, so he simply skipped to the end and directly looked at the new characteristics of this mutated earthworm. .
—The black-ringed earthworm is a brand-new earthworm species that has completed a mutation and evolution. This earthworm has stronger environmental adaptability than ordinary earthworms. Its survival time under light conditions is 31 times longer than that of ordinary earthworms. Its adaptability to the highest and lowest temperatures is plus or minus 4 degrees higher than that of ordinary earthworms. At the same time, , this earthworm is more adaptable to various soils and soil textures, and has a higher ability to enrich and improve soil activity.
- The earthworm's feces contains nitrogen 2.75, phosphorus 1.96, potassium 0.37, organic matter 35.4, and contains 23 kinds of amino acids, rich earthworm enzymes, and more than 10,000 beneficial microorganisms per gram of earthworm manure - while in aging and barren soil There are just over a hundred. Its earthworm enzyme can kill a variety of viruses, harmful bacteria and a large number of special substances that inhibit plant growth in the soil.
"Please Lord Lord, please name this new kind of earthworm!" Seeing that Zhang Tie had finished reading the introduction, Heller said from the side.
"Let's call it Earthworm No. 1!" Zhang Tie thought for a while and used a lazy name method to give this new earthworm a name.
Heller just nodded to the name Zhang Tie chose for the earthworm. He was not dissatisfied. But judging from Zhang Tie's expression, Heller felt that Zhang Tie probably hadn't fully understood the significance of the existence of this kind of earthworm.
"Does the Lord of the Castle know the true function of these earthworms?"
"Isn't it fertilizing the fields and improving the soil?" Zhang Tie asked strangely.
"That's true, but does this function have any significance to the Lord of the Fortress?"
"What does it mean to me?" Zhang Tie seemed to suddenly think of something.
"That's right, Lord Lord, have you thought of it?" Heller said with a smile.
"Could it be that... they can make the land completely unnecessary for cultivation!" Zhang Tie was shocked.
"Yes, in the future, as long as the Lord of the Castle is willing, as long as there are such earthworms, all farmland can be sown in turn without plowing. On a piece of land of 10,000 square meters, there are only 900,000 of these earthworms. Living in the soil, their cultivation effect on the land can exceed the labor results of 4 skilled farmers who work hard for 8 hours a day to cultivate the land. Not only that, the feces produced by these 900,000 earthworms every year is equivalent to that. More than 140 tons of high-grade organic fertilizers are added to 10,000 square meters of land every year!"
Although Zhang Tie has never been a farmer or planted much land, the education model that emphasized survival ability in the school when he was in Black Flame City made him very clear about what farming is like. It can be said that, at least since the Great Cataclysm, For a long time, plowing, an important agricultural activity, has been closely related to planting and agriculture. The most widely circulated saying may be remembered by everyone - no plowing, no harvest. From this we can see the status of farming in agriculture. This agricultural activity is almost the most energy-consuming and money-consuming thing in all rural areas. And now, Heller said, as long as there are such earthworms, All farmland and land can be farmed without tillage.
"No need to be surprised. In fact, long before the catastrophe, the more advanced and closer to nature agricultural model implemented by some countries and regions among humans had already discovered the role of earthworms, and many regions had promulgated "Agricultural Exemption" "Farming Method" is to use the method of placing earthworms in the soil on a large scale to replace human and mechanical farming. This saves a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, improves the quality of the soil, and can continuously purify toxic and harmful substances in the soil. !”
"Then why wasn't this method widely promoted at that time?"
"There are many reasons. In addition to the fact that this method was not known to more people at the time, the most important reason was the obstruction of powerful selfish interest groups entrenched in the traditional agricultural model! Traditional agriculture at that time was a low-level , eager for quick success and instant benefits, and the practice of separating farmland and crops from their connection with the natural world. This model can make some people make a lot of money. All those who can make a fortune from this naturally do not want their financial path to be cut off by a small The earthworms blocked it!"
Zhang Tie understood that people's greed, selfishness and arrogance make many people think that they are more powerful than the Creator. In order to cultivate and fertilize, people have invented many machines, but they don't know that the most powerful machine is just this humble one. of earthworms.
From this point of view, Earthworm No. 1 is indeed of great use, but the number of these earthworms is still relatively small now. If you want them to exert great value, the number required is very considerable, such as the Black Iron Castle. It is a large place. If you want to turn this land into a fertile farm forever, according to Heller's calculations, you need to put at least 6 million No. 1 earthworms here.
Fortunately, earthworms reproduce quickly.
After solving the earthworm matter, Zhang Tie came under the small tree.
On the small tree, in addition to the second Iron-Toothed Hyena Seven Power Fruit that Zhang Tie had been waiting for for a long time, there was indeed a lentil-like fruit of creation.
—The fruit of creation is ripe. How to use it? Eat it directly after picking it. Note that the fruit cannot be taken away from the Black Iron Castle. Twelve hours after picking, the energy and vitality in the fruit will gradually be lost.
-All creations have infinite causes and conditions, because you, Earthworm No. 1, appeared in this world for the first time. They were created by you, so they belong to you. You are the father and god of this created thing. This The fruit of creation will give you the strongest control over this earthworm species in the world from now on. This control is based on the material existence laws of Earthworm No. 1. Your will and command are the meaning of their existence.
Looking at the fruit of creation, Zhang Tie picked it with a pious mood. Before eating the fruit of creation, Zhang Tie touched the trunk of the small tree and said to the small tree seriously. In one sentence, "Thank you, I wouldn't be where I am today without you. Please believe that I won't let this magical fruit you bear go to waste!"
The leaves of the small tree were rustling, which seemed to be a response to Zhang Tie.
After Zhang Tie ate it, the magical fruit quickly became a magical instinct in Zhang Tie's consciousness. Zhang Tie didn't even have to count it deliberately. He just wanted to know everything about these earthworms. He knew it—there were a total of 185,919 earthworms No. 1 in the Black Iron Castle at this moment.
Earthworms like the Black Iron Castle very much, especially the soil near the Chaos Pool, which is like their holy land to these earthworms.
Breed, breed vigorously. From now on, your biggest task is to try to increase the number of your brand new species - this is the first order Zhang Tie gave to those earthworms.
After giving this order, Zhang Tie took off the Qiliguo, which looked like a small handicraft with iron-toothed hyenas. He sat under the small tree and put the Qiliguo into his mouth...
