"We're going to run out of meat the day after tomorrow!"

The lightning started with a clear righteousness, and threw the difficulties directly to his beloved master. He is in charge of production, and the supply of people's livelihood is also within his purview.

At a time when the country was not dying, Primorsky had a large strategic reserve of meat. But after several years, it was finally consumed.

In these years, there is no way to raise pigs and chickens, because these beasts will also absorb aura, and some will suddenly become dangerous monsters. Lightning had tried to raise chickens in the city for meat, but after several Luhua chickens had become good and worked together to kill all the workers on the farm with iron feathers, Lightning gave up on this impractical attempt.

Without meat to eat, this is a disaster that does not seem urgent, but it is extremely demoralizing in the city. The supply of meat on the coast has been tight for a long time, and it has become more difficult since the Holocene Society blocked the exchange of goods here.

In recent months, canned meat could only be supplied to cultivators, and only half of it was for ordinary soldiers. As for the more civilians, they have not known the taste of meat for months. Now that even the last reserve has been depleted, Lightning hopes that Master can do something.

For example, the more immortal trees that can grow pork and beef on the branches, the better.

"There is no such thing. ”

Sun Xiang flatly refused.

How could there be such a thing in the Xuanmen inheritance? Everyone is a cultivator, and the demand for ordinary food is almost none. Eating the food of these mortals will also consume the true yuan to expel the filthy qi in it, and the gains will not outweigh the losses at all.

And how could there be such a large population in the last era? When the cultivators were in the lower realm to provide relief to the victims, at most a few meaty and non-poisonous monsters would be slaughtered and thrown at the entrance of the town, and the famine in one area would almost be resolved.

Coastal City has a population of 10 million, and there were not so many people in the whole world before! How many monsters do you have to kill to fill this bottomless pit? It is not so exaggerated to raise ten gluttons at home.

"How else is this solved. ”

Thinking left and right There is no good way, so Sun Xiang asked Lightning, how other cities solve the problem of meat supply, and the stones of its mountains can attack jade. If other city lords don't care about this kind of thing at all, then Sun Xiang will also be as good as a stream. But if there is meat to eat in other cities, then Sun Xiang will not agree.

"Let's show our talents, there's no such thing as a good way. Lightning had already prepared, took out a tablet and flipped through the records, "There are many city lords who call on the people under their rule to eat fasting and recite Buddha, and vigorously promote that this may awaken to cultivators. ”

"The New World Society has set up some farms and sells the meat to the cities, but the price is quite expensive. They sent a large number of cultivators to be stationed in the breeding farm, and once the demonized beasts appeared, they were exterminated on the spot. But we don't have that many people for the time being. ”

"There's a small town called Thousand Kicks here, which probably has what we need. Lightning pulled up a picture from the tablet and handed it to Master.

Sun Xiang took it and looked at it, it was a very fat mushroom.

"The specialty of Qianjiao there is this kind of spiritual grass called meat mushroom, and the output is huge. And the taste is no different from mutton, which can be used as a substitute for meat. But for some reason, both in us and in the surrounding cities, the introduction of planting has ended in failure. ”

Lightning said regretfully.

"This is Lishui Zhi. Sun Xiang finally remembered what the spirit grass in the photo was.

It is recorded that this thing can indeed be eaten as meat. The reason why he didn't have any impression was because this thing was really useless in cultivation, so the record was just a passing touch.

"It's normal that you can't grow it, Lishui Zhi has a total root, and it's hard to find. If you don't bring the roots back, they won't grow. ”

Sun Xiang approved of this plan and decided to go and find it himself. However, this will not solve the urgent need, and it is better to get a batch of meat to supply it immediately.

"Is there plenty of rice in the city?" asked Sun Xiang.

"It's abundant, because the fields are ripe in January, so we even have a surplus to make wine. "Food supplies are Lightning's most reassuring aspect.

Sun Xiang's plan was to discuss with Professor Xu whether he could synthesize artificial meat from plant protein. Although the taste is a little worse, it is also an emergency solution in the end. Lightning also thinks it's a good idea.

Now that he had finished his report, he turned around and left, and he needed to keep an eye on the forge shop. The most important thing now is to get the soldiers armed as quickly as possible. Otherwise, any project will be stuck by human hands.

"Lightning. Sun Xiang stopped him, his voice slightly tired.

"Master?" Lightning looked at him puzzled.

As Sun Xiang's eldest disciple, Lightning wanted to accompany the master more. But now he is so busy that his feet can't touch the ground, and the master and apprentice haven't talked properly in the past few days.

"Wait until the situation in the coastal area stabilizes. Sun Xiang said, "Let's go and get Liji and Hazan back." ”

"Yes!"

The lightning smiled very brightly, and the haze in his heart was swept away.

As Sun Xiang's most loyal disciple, he has been guarding Yu Xiaoyue according to orders for several years. But what Lightning cares about the most, apart from Master, is Liki and Hazan. has been with him for decades, and he has long regarded his younger sister and younger brother as a family. Liji's negative departure was a wound in his heart that could not be healed.

The master and apprentice acted separately, and Sun Xiang found Xu Yongzhi, who was busy in the Xuanke Academy, and his good daughter Xu Yishan was also on the side. A group of white coats were busy assembling a core machine, which seemed to be the one that was skillfully welded in front, but the whole machine was already several times larger.

"This is the Plasma Beam Core. Xu Yishan proudly showed off, "Super powerful!"

But Sun Da came to them to solve the process of artificial meat, which must have nothing to do with plasma.

Professor Xu was embarrassed, and now the topics of the Academy of Metasciences are all related to high energy. The "shallow" and "boring" technology of converting plant protein into artificial meat is not on the researchers' list, and he suggested that Sun Xiang recruit some food processing technicians among the city's civilians.

"You say, recruit workers who used to make spicy noodles. Xu Yongzhi smiled, "Artificial meat and spicy strips are similar things. ”

At this time, You Qiao finally took off the headphones and figured out Sun Xiang's purpose.

"Are you looking for meat?" she said, "I know where to find ready-made pork, but you're going to have to work a little hard." ”

After the demon clan was integrated by the Ten Thousand Demon Venerable, it was rare for the demon clan to devour each other again. In fact, many demon clans also need food, so they also have a demon general who is responsible for logistics and supply.

This is a wild boar spirit, and His Holiness gave him the name of the Fanged King, and gave him the power to command the pigs of the world. The Fanged King controls millions of pigs, but these pigs are not fighting power, but food for the demon herd.

"The Fanged King is a real pig teammate!" the former demon general You Qiao gave a pertinent evaluation, "He has low strength, is greedy for life and is afraid of death, he is lazy to eat, and he stinks to death." You can snatch it from him, and no demon will stand up for him. ”
