Chapter 150: Ironwood quality thorns

Views:

As far as the current stage is concerned.

The workshops and shops in Huahua Town, except for the original few freedmen who set up shops, the rest basically have to be opened by Liszt—there are not many freedmen anyway, Liszt doesn’t mind, he monopolizes all of Huahua Town The industry, this place is his own territory.

He said to build a workshop, and the workshop will be built.

It's just that Gao Ertai has doubts: "My lord, the soap making workshop can be handed over to Bunier, the brewing workshop has Frank, Berdin, Huntra, and there are many coopers in the cooper shop... The peanut processing workshop, what is that for?" , who needs to hand it over to?"

"It is to simply process the harvested peanuts. They can be boiled together with the shells, fried and sold again. They can be sold separately or made into peanut butter. Maybe some peanuts with unique tastes can be developed. In short, ordinary peanuts , made into delicious peanuts. Just like making ordinary bread into pineapple buns."

"Who is going to make delicious peanuts?"

"Among the bought serfs, didn't some of them have served as cooks in other castles? My castle doesn't need so many cooks for the time being, so let these people study how to make delicious peanuts... Remember, Gao Ertai consultant."

"Please tell me."

"The agricultural products produced in Huahua Town are very low in price and do not have the value of trading. But after our initial processing, it can be sold at a good price, and we can even buy agricultural products from outside for processing. I hope that flowers The town can become a processing center for agricultural products."

Words like "primary processing" do not exist in Snake Wen.

Liszt can use serpentine to combine a vocabulary with similar meaning, and then explain it a little bit.

Gao Ertai could understand: "This is the same as Tulip Castle, which rarely sells whole potion tulips, but makes potion tulips into finished potions, and then sells them to outsiders, right?"

"You got it right."

"Then I'll arrange it now."

Galtai left, and Liszt also left the castle soon.

He hurried to the bushes of thorns and cordyceps to look for the fast-growing wood thorns. Standing in the bushes, looking around, except for this piece of thorny bushes, there is only a bare slope in the distance. In the thorn bushes, the fast-growing poisonous thorns and the fast-growing thorny thorns were artificially separated, each occupying a large area.

"My lord!"

The two insect guards guarding the thorny Cordyceps rushed forward to meet him. He was a serf on a dairy farm. Because of his strong body, he was selected by Roma as a pest guard and got a part-time job with a good salary.

Liszt asked: "Have you found any unusual thorns while guarding this bush?"

He specifically asked Rom to tell the insect guards here to pay more attention to the growth of thorns, and report any special thorns they found immediately.

The team member hesitated for a moment: "My lord, I don't know if those are unusual thorns."

"Oh, what's going on?"

"There was a field of thorns, and they became... thick."

"Very stout? Take me to see."

The insect guards quickly brought Liszt to a thick thorn.

The thorns here are just ordinary thorns in terms of color and spikes, but each thorn is about twice as thick as ordinary thorns. This is obviously different, and the insect guards don't know if it's unusual, let alone report it, it's just stupid.

certainly.

Commoners do have limited IQs, and Liszt expressed his understanding, saying, "Cut off this thorn tree."

The insect guards have no iron equipment, only relatively cheap bone weapons.

They hastily drew out their bone knives, and slashed at the thorns. Thorns, a small shrub, are not difficult to cut down, and they are still young thorns. The insect guards were full of confidence, thinking that they could cut off the thorns with a single knife, and they showed bravery in front of the lord.

However, what was embarrassing was that the bone knife slashed on the thorny tree trunk, made a crisp "bang", and was bounced off, leaving only a very shallow mark.

"Forehead."

The two insect guards were a little panicked, and they swung their bone knives again, chopping vigorously. But every time I cut on the thorny trunk, I could only leave a shallow mark. After more than a dozen consecutive cuts, I couldn't cut a thumb-wide crack. Instead, it was their bone knives, the blades of which had collapsed.

It was about to break.

"Stop, Thomas, hand them my knight sword and let them cut with it." Liszt's eyes lit up, and he probably understood the nature of the mutation of the fast-growing wood thorn.

Take the knight sword.

The insect guards continued to cut down, but they still couldn't cut it off quickly. Fortunately, the knight sword was made of fine steel, which was very hard. Relying on constant slashing and grinding bit by bit, he finally cut off the thick and thin thorns on his wrist. Then cut off the thin branches and chop them into a bare thorny pole.

Panting heavily, handed it to Liszt.

Holding the thorn pole in his hand, Liszt could feel the weight of this wooden pole.

"It's heavy, very strong, and has a very hard texture. If I'm not mistaken, its woody variation is likely to be in the direction of 'iron wood'."

Ironwood, as the name suggests, is wood as hard as steel, and many woods on the earth are called ironwood. Iron birch, clam wood, and nanmu are harder than steel, sinking in water, insects and ants do not grow, and even nails cannot be driven in. Many ships, vehicles, special buildings, and even aerospace parts use iron wood as a material.

The current fast-growing wood thorns are not up to the standard of iron wood.

But its "fast-growing" feature determines its value. Even if it does not meet the iron wood standard, it is still a good wood that far surpasses ordinary wood, better than steel.

"According to this quality, the fast-growing wood thorns are like steel that can grow by itself!"

Ironwood quality trees are not absent in Thorn Ridge, such as rock wood and stone wood. But the number is very small, the growth is slow, and it takes hundreds of years to become useful, and one tree is cut down.

Fast-growing wood thorns can become useful in a short time, and the value is so great that Liszt himself finds it unimaginable.

"The previous poisonous and thorn mutations are incomparable with the current iron wood! This is the treasure among the thorns, my thorn worm, good job, I will give you an extra meal tonight. Eat!" This is the chain task reward of the thorn worm, and it is only affected by the thorn and cordyceps that there is such a mutation.

He felt more and more that there was a chance of success for the thorn worm to evolve into a thorn elf.

"I made a decision!"

The mood was agitated, and the thought could no longer be restrained: "Plant all the 180 mu of bushes directly affected by the thorns and Cordyceps thorns!"

Ordinary fast-growing thorns, fast-growing poisonous thorns, and fast-growing thorny thorns can either be transplanted to other places or cut off directly.

They shouldn't take the influence of Cordyceps brambles.

Li Longma galloped.

Back to the castle like the wind.

Immediately, he planned to call in Isaiah, who was newly appointed as a political officer, to re-plan the thorny and cordyceps bushes. However, after being blown by the wind and his mind calmed down, he immediately thought of a key question: "The thorn worm is still accumulating the power of evolution, and the chain of missions is not over yet. There should be room for the fast-growing thorn to mutate."

Now that ordinary fast-growing thorns are cut off, it is difficult to produce new mutations.

"No, you can't cut down ordinary fast-growing thorns. Ironwood can wait, don't worry. The most important thing now is to let the thorn bugs continue to develop and let the fast-growing thorns continue to mutate... However, the name of the fast-growing wood thorns has to be changed. , let’s call it the fast-growing iron thorn!”
