Scorpion is back.
The Terrors arrived at a nearby station occupied by the Terrors, and left one after another in cars, leaving only some soldiers to guard the station. Humanity has nearly five thousand mercenaries stationed at the Bloodlight Station, which can fully guarantee the safety of the station.
The increase in the number of soldiers is a good thing, but the problem of food shortage has become more serious. Although it can be solved by transferring food from the camp. It’s just that most people’s backpack space is too small, and it’s still stuck at the original 5 spaces!
What can I put in a five-compartment backpack
I’m afraid it won’t be able to contain all the ingredients!
Zhang Mu has upgraded his backpack several times and it only has 20 slots!
Department stores sell storage treasure boxes, but the purchased storage treasure boxes are restricted and cannot be taken on trains for long-distance transportation.
Players travel to and from the station in large numbers, and the cost of travel will be extremely high, and the mercenary group cannot afford it for a long time. After all, maintaining the consumption of the Blood Light Station through camp supply is not a long-term solution. If the human race wants to gain a foothold, they must solve the food problem on the spot.
Zhang Mu briefly described the situation in the Blood Light Plain: "You can get some food by hunting, but blood waves will break out in the Blood Light Plain every once in a while. There won't be many ordinary monsters left, but boss-level monsters are widely distributed, and ordinary servants Soldiers are prone to danger, so they cannot rely on hunting to obtain food."
The leaders of the major mercenary groups fell into deep thought.
Wu Feng suggested: "Why not let the mercenaries solve the travel expenses and food problems on their own? After the mercenaries finish eating, can't they just go back and buy it themselves? There is no need to reimburse these expenses at public expense!"
Huang Jianye said: "The ride costs 20 gold coins, and the round trip costs 40 gold coins. Ordinary mercenaries themselves don't have much spare money. They pay for their own travel expenses and food. I'm afraid not many mercenaries are willing to risk staying in the Bloody Plains. The number of people at the station Without it, safety cannot be guaranteed!”
"Yes, asking mercenaries to pay will still consume a lot of human wealth. Transporting food will not work!" Zhang Mu interrupted and said: "I do have a few long-term and short-term solutions that may solve the food problem. . ”
"Oh, what good advice does the president have?"
Zhang Mu pointed at the map with his sword and said: "There are only three short-term methods, hunting, transporting, and plundering. If there are no monsters nearby, you can go further to hunt for insufficient food, and then transport it from the camp. As for plundering, ...There are many scavenger settlements nearby, so we can get some food at least!"
After hearing Zhang Mu's suggestion, Huang Jianye narrowed his eyes slightly: "Robbing scavengers is a way to kill two birds with one stone. It can not only clear up nearby troubles, but also hide resources from scavengers. Scavengers themselves are bandits and treasure hunters. Those who live by plundering have food in their hands, as well as tools such as trucks and artillery, which are all needed materials.”
"Then what's the long-term solution?"
"From a long-term perspective, of course hunting, transporting, and plundering won't work. But there are two ways to solve it! The first is to gather the goblins and let the goblins help the humans farm. The second is to use special channels. To buy, there is a place called the 'Black Market' on the Bloody Plains, which is hosted by businessmen from the outside world. We can buy some food regularly."
Zhang Mu told everyone about Goblin planting skills and the news about the black market without reservation. Everyone was amazed. They didn't expect that Lingtian could be made by himself. It was really unexpected. Ordinary soil moistened in the spiritual land for several days becomes spiritual soil. There are dozens of spiritual fields in Shuguang Camp, so how much spiritual soil must be produced!
As long as there are enough goblins farming, food is not a problem at all, and it can also increase the speed of human resources production!
What an exciting news!
Zhang Mu doesn't know much about the black market. He only knows that participating in the black market will face great risks. According to Goblin's description, the opening hours of the black market are irregular, ranging from more than half a month to five or six days. It has been a long time since the last time the market opened. I believe it will open soon.
Zhang Mu prepared a huge sum of 20,000 gold coins, just waiting for the black market to open and went to see what happened.
As for the goblins, they have been gradually transferred to the Blood Light Station.
Zhang Mu came back from the camp, took some samples of spiritual soil, and gave them to the Goblin elders for inspection.
The Goblin elder shouted excitedly: "This... this soil...".
Zhang Mu frowned and said, "Is there something wrong with the spiritual soil?"
The elder Goblin shook his head: "No... no... I've just never seen such high-quality spiritual soil!"
Zhang Mu was puzzled: "What is the quality of the spiritual soil?"
The elder Goblin replied: "The longer the spiritual soil is in the spiritual land and the longer it is nourished by the spiritual veins, the better the quality. If the spiritual soil is dug out after only staying for 3-7 days, it is considered inferior spiritual soil. One month is a medium-grade spiritual soil, three months is a high-grade spiritual soil, and spiritual soil that lasts for more than half a year is considered top-grade. The spiritual soil provided by your Excellency is the top-grade soil!"
Spiritual veins may have existed before Dawn Camp was established, and the soil in the spiritual field has been moistened for who knows how long. Goblin is right.
“How long will this soil last?”
"Goblin is confident that the newly created spiritual field will not degrade for three months!"
Zhang Mu calculated that 30 prime goblins could cultivate one acre of land. Most of the goblins captured by Zhang Mu were old people and children. They could only serve 60 people per acre, which was about 5 acres. This area was already very large.
The maturity cycle of food grown in the camp spiritual field generally takes 3-7 days. The higher the level of food, the longer it takes to mature. The power of Pseudo Spirit Field is limited, and it is normal for it to take an extra 1-2 days to mature. If you grow magic herbs, the cycle will be long. According to Goblin, magic herbs consume a lot of spiritual fields. If herbs are planted in pseudo-spiritual fields, the service life of the fields will be greatly reduced.
As long as the spiritual field is dedicated to growing food, herbs are not considered for the time being.
Now we have to consider the amount of farmland to be created.
The spiritual field in Shuguang Camp is about the size of a basketball court, less than half an acre.
If you dig up the spiritual soil in the field and backfill the soil to rebuild it, it will take about several days of spiritual nourishment before the ordinary soil will transform into spiritual soil and restore the ability to plant. Therefore, field creation will affect the production of the camp. It is impossible to transfer ten or eight acres at a time.
Zhang Mu plans to build an acre of spiritual land first. Although it is only one acre, it can basically meet the consumption of hundreds of Huangquan mercenaries. Let’s solve Huangquan’s food problem first, and let the other mercenary groups take their time!
The location of land cultivation should also be carefully considered.
Zhang Mu was not familiar with the Blood Light Plains and was not sure about any place, so he finally chose the location where it meets the misty mountains and forests. Although the distance is a bit far, there are several armored vehicles and off-road trucks in Huangquan, so it doesn't take too long to drive back and forth.
A girl of thirteen or fourteen years old came to Zhang Mu and said: "Brother Wood!"
Zhang Mu was a little surprised: "Xiaoguo, what's the matter?"
Xiaoguo blushed and said, "Sister, the leader, is looking for you. There may be something that needs trouble..."
What could happen to Liu Shuiyan
Zhang Mu followed Xiao Guo into a stone house. Liu Shuiyan, Sun Lin, and Wang Ling were all there. Wang Ling was the same as before, with a thin body standing silently in the corner, his messy long hair hanging down, covering most of his face, and looking at himself. Gu Zi was playing with a hexagonal dart without even raising his head.
Sun Lin was wearing a robe and standing on the side holding a long staff. When she saw Zhang Mu, she smiled a little cautiously.
Liu Shuiyan stood between the two women. She was more than half a head taller than the two women. She didn't even bother to wipe the blood on her leather armor. When she saw Zhang Mu walking in, she immediately stood up from her seat: "Mu Mu, the Fengyue mercenaries want to build fields. I want to borrow some money." I have some spiritual soil!”
Willow hookah is willow hookah, straight to the point, never beating around the bush.
Zhang Mu knew Liu Shuiyan's personality, so he didn't feel it was abrupt or rude, but he was just a little embarrassed: "Huang Quan is also building fields, and I'm afraid there isn't much spiritual land that can be used."
"Only half an acre." Liu Shuiyan said directly: "How much, you tell me!"
Half an acre.
This would require digging a whole field!
Zhang Mu thinks about it, Huangquan has 2 level 2 spiritual fields and 5 level 1 spiritual fields. Among them, the 2nd level spiritual fields are used to grow herbs or high-end food. The 1st level spiritual fields are generally used to grow mushrooms and low-level ingredients such as spiritual grains. Huangquan The food reserves in the camp are very abundant, and there is still a few days' harvest left.
Zhang Mu thought for a while: "Okay, I will send someone to transport it. Forget about the money, Huang Quan will not be so poor."
Liu Shuiyan knew that Huang Quan was wealthy and that Fengyue could not afford much money, but instead seemed petty. However, it was not Liu Shuiyan's style to take other people's things for free, so she gave Zhang Mu more than 100 portions of level 2 magic tobacco in exchange. Level 2 tobacco is very popular among mercenaries, with each serving worth dozens of gold coins.
Magic tobacco can effectively relieve mental stress and make people feel relaxed and happy. It is most suitable for mercenaries to relieve stress and tension. Tobacco also has analgesic, calming and a small amount of attribute enhancement effects. It is a good consumable regardless of combat or daily life.
"Okay, then I'm welcome!" Zhang Mu thought of something: "By the way, the goblins of the Lone Wolf Mercenary..."
"You asked too late, it has already been sold." Liu Shuiyan said lightly: "10,000 gold coins, sold to the Dragon Soul Mercenary Group!"
"What?" Zhang Mu said with hatred: "Is Ye Qianqiu's brain flooded? He really treats goblins as goods!"
"A lone wolf cannot create a spiritual field without buying a field."
"Goblins are born with gathering skills. After all, they are 50 gatherers!"
Zhang Mu wished he could beat Ye Qianqiu up. Did this guy have nothing in his mind except fighting? Zhang Mu will distribute the goblins to Lone Wolf and Fengyue, because the second group is close to Huang Quan, which can be regarded as an alliance.
For 10,000 gold coins, Ye Qianqiu actually transferred the goblins to Huang Quan's competitor without thinking of discussing it with Zhang Mu. Goblins would probably not be happy if they were being tossed around with goods on the spot. Although this is a race without dignity, what if something goes wrong... Humans now count on goblins to keep their bellies full!
Zhang Mu immediately announced the formulation of a new regulation for goblins.
Goblins are part of the mercenary union and cannot be manipulated to fight or sell each other. Goblins farm land for humans and need to pay wages. The standards are set by the labor union and cannot be high or low. All goblins are treated equally in terms of food and accommodation... Zhang Mu provides uniform benefits and treatment to the goblins, which can also avoid dragons. Some aspects of the soul are causing mischief and instigating goblins to hell.
