Chapter 1153: The Impact of Retreat
The process of making the furnace body is somewhat similar to the technique of making lacquerware.
Fine lacquerware needs to be painted layer by layer, air-dried, re-painted, and then air-dried......
Lin Zeng's ability doomed him to choose this clumsy method to make the furnace body of the seed refining furnace.
Layer by layer, various materials are smeared on the silver wire skeleton of the Ding furnace, and those hollowed out places gradually become smooth and full.
The coating inside reaches more than 500 layers.
In these more than 500 layers, there are ordinary metal raw materials, as well as precious special materials.
If there were no continuous refining of those tripod runes mixed in the middle of the coating, these more than 500 layers of raw materials would probably magnify this volleyball-sized tripod furnace more than twice.
However, when Lin Zeng had smeared all the raw materials, the volume of the final furnace not only did not increase, but shrank to one-third of the volume.
At this time, the seed refining furnace really shows its style.
The body is round, like a purple-gold pearl that has been coated thousands of times, and it seems to glow charmingly even in the breeding space where there is no sunlight.
The Ding furnace has five legs, standing firmly in Lin Zeng's palm, which makes people can't help but want to touch and play.
To tell the truth, Lin Zeng's seed refining furnace, purely from the appearance of it, is much more beautiful than the simple seed refining furnace that Lin Zeng obtained the breeding space.
However, if you really compare the functions of the two, the Ding furnace in Lin Zeng's hand can probably only be named an embroidered pillow.
But if you consider it purely from Lin Zeng's own level, this Ding Furnace has been quite successful so far.
On the wall of the hearth, there is a complex pattern slightly smaller than Lin Zeng's palm, and in the pattern, there seems to be a small fish swimming briskly. This is the rune pattern of the furnace door of the refining furnace, and when the effect of the rune pattern is completely released, a furnace door that can put various materials is formed.
Not only can you see that there are runes on the furnace wall, but in the invisible places inside the Ding furnace, there are at least more than two hundred rune patterns at this time, which are playing a role, waiting for them to complete the refining of the Ding furnace, Lin Zengping's first hand-made Ding furnace in his life can be regarded as completed.
At this time, Lin Zeng looked at the time again and found that he had been in retreat for more than a month.
He did not stop, as is customary, to check the situation of the old five-needle pine tree.
After more than a month of refining, the five-needle pine tree is now less than 80 centimeters tall, and the whole branch and leaf condition is better, and the verdant pine needles have become smaller, which does not reduce its vigorous state in the slightest.
It will take some time for this core plant to be cultivated.
Especially in the later stages, the longer it takes.
It may take only a month to go from more than three meters to 80 centimeters, but from 80 centimeters to 10 centimeters, it can take months, and even up to a year and a half if you are unlucky.
After inspecting the condition of the old five-needle pine tree, Lin Zeng continued to work on other facilities in the inheritance space.
For example, seed storage, rune practice boards, data display tables, etc.
However, compared to the production of the furnace, the processing of these facilities is much simpler.
Lin Zeng was making these facilities while waiting for the core plant and seed refining furnace to be completed.
Once all of this is done, it's time for the final critical step.
Bring them together.
——
——
Lin Zeng's underground life is compact and busy, and even three meals a day, eating and sleeping cannot be guaranteed, just to complete the production of the inheritance space in the shortest possible time and be promoted to breeder.
And the outside world, because of his retreat, has lived a life of frugality.
Suddenly one day, the entrants of the secret realm suddenly discovered that the seeds in the secret realm began to be available in limited quantities again.
What bad news.
The seeds of the secret plant have now become a source of wealth for many people.
The dwindling supply of seeds is tantamount to a bear market in stocks for those who make a living, and the drought for farmers is not good news.
But on the other hand, the growers who had hoarded a lot of seeds before this time took advantage of the soaring price of seeds during this time period and made a lot of money from the crystal source body.
The supply of seeds has decreased, and the impact is greater on new growers.
Families who already have a certain number of secret plants at home still enjoy the benefits brought by secret plants.
The decrease in the supply of secret plants, in some ways, not only did not reduce the influence of secret plants in society, but because of the tight supply and demand, the price of plant seeds soared, so that more and more people hope to make a profit.
There are also some growers, tempted by high prices that exceed their original purchase price three or four times, to sell the secret plants they grow at home to others.
In this form, it has promoted the popularity of secret plants.
This time, the restriction on the exchange of seeds in the secret realm did not have a big impact on the large seed suppliers.
The previous supply crises have given them a sense of crisis.
The major forces such as the Heterodu Company, the Northern Military Department, the Southeast Military Department, and the Huaguo Mining Group have secretly stockpiled a certain amount of secret realm plant seeds.
Judging from their operations, the limited supply of seeds will not last too long.
It can be as short as two or three weeks, as long as two or three months, and it will soon be back again.
After entering the underground life, Lin Zeng rarely gave special care to Xeno.
Therefore, Xenomorph also needs to face the tight seed supply during this period like everyone else.
On the company's sales website, the supply of each seed is greatly reduced, and it is an unthinkable task to buy seeds from it.
The expansion of mangrove reefs has slowed down, and attention has been focused on the construction of existing islands.
However, Xenodu City Farm is the least affected, because most of the plant products required by Xenocity City Farm are supplied by the plant base, and in three or five months, it can still ensure the supply of food to customers.
Among the people who live on secret plants, some people have a greater influence.
Hu Anguo was originally a left-behind old man living in the countryside, over 60 years old, and also went out to work in his early years, but after his health failed, he could only return to his hometown with his wife.
The economy of his village is not remote, but it is also not prosperous, and there are no special industries. He relied on growing sweet potatoes, corn, and eggplants, and earned an extra two or three thousand yuan a year.
Last year, his son, who was working in Haishi, returned home and arranged a job for him, helping people grow vegetables and some weird plants.
Hu Anguo is a lifelong old farmer.
He realized that helping others grow something was actually more profitable than growing vegetables himself.
For the first time, I planted five plants in the yard that looked a bit like wormwood.
This plant is not at all difficult to grow, and with frequent fertilization, frequent watering, and pruning of leaves, they will produce small colorful flowers and bear small beads of the same color.
I don't know why, not long after these grasses were gone, his country yard where mosquitoes flew everywhere turned out to have fewer insects than the city buildings he had stayed in before.
When the fruit is ripe, the people who hired them to plant it will come and harvest it.
Hu Anguo didn't expect that the person who went to his yard to pick up the small colored beads turned out to be a foreigner wearing a hood, a big beard, and speaking Mandarin.
Doesn't this person look exactly like those Middle Eastern Arab kings or something mentioned in the news network?
Look at the big gemstone ring on his finger, could it be real?
