Chapter 197: Planning

The scorpion is back.

The terrorists arrived at the neighboring station occupied by the terrorists and drove away one by one, leaving only a few soldiers to guard the station. Humans have nearly 5,000 mercenaries stationed at the 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 shortages is even more acute. Although food can be transported from the camp to solve this problem. However, most people's backpack space is too small, and they still stay in the original five-compartment space!

What can I hold in a five-compartment backpack?

I'm afraid there's not a lot of room for all the ingredients!

Zhang Tong upgraded his backpack to only 20 squares several times!

Department stores have treasure chests for sale, but there are restrictions on the chests that can be purchased and cannot be taken on the train for long-distance transportation.

Players travel to and from the station in large quantities, and the travel costs will be very high. The mercenary group is not capable of sustaining it for a long time. Sustaining consumption at the station through camp supplies is not a long-term plan. If humanity wants to gain a foothold, it must solve the problem of food on the spot.

Zhang Tong briefly introduced the situation in the Xueguang Plain: "You can get some food by hunting, but the Xueguang Plain will regularly break out with blood tides. There won't be many ordinary monsters, but boss-level monsters are widely distributed, and ordinary mercenaries are vulnerable to danger, so they can't rely on hunting for food. ”

The main mercenary commander fell into deep thought.

Wu Feng suggested, "Why don't you let the mercenaries solve the problem of travel expenses and food by themselves? After the mercenaries finish eating their food, can't they go back and buy it themselves? There is no need to reimburse the public expenses for these expenses!"

"It costs 20 gold coins to travel and 40 gold coins to return," Huang said. Ordinary mercenaries themselves had little money to spare, and the cost of travel and food was paid for by themselves. I'm afraid that few mercenaries are willing to risk staying in the Lotus Plains. There are too few people at the station to guarantee safety!"

"Yes, it is not feasible to make mercenaries pay, and it will consume a lot of human wealth, and it is not feasible to transport food!" Zhang Tong interjected, "I do have several long-term and short-term solutions to solve the food problem. ”

"Oh, what's the president's plan?"

Zhang Tong pointed to the map with his sword and said, "There are no more than three short-term methods: hunting, transporting, and plundering. There were no monsters nearby, so we could go further afield and deliver enough food from the camp to hunt. As for plunder... There are many scavenger colonies nearby, so we can manage to get some food!"

After listening to Zhang Tong's proposal, Huang Jianye's eyes narrowed slightly: "Robbing waste pickers is a way to kill two birds with one stone. Not only does it clear nearby troubles, but it also hides in resources to hide from scavengers. Scavengers are robbers and treasure hunters themselves. They live by plundering. They had food in their hands, and tools such as trucks and cannons were all necessary materials. ”

"So what's the long-term approach?"

"Hunting, transporting and plundering will certainly not work in the long run. But there are two ways to solve it! The first is to fold the goblins and let the goblins help humans cultivate the land. The second is to buy from special channels. There is a place called "Black Market" on the Lotus Plain. Hosted by businessmen from the outside world. We can buy some food on a regular basis. ”

As for the news of the goblin's cultivation ability and the black market, Zhang Tong told everyone without reservation. Everyone was amazed. Elda's success on her own was unexpected. Ordinary soil that is moistened for a few days on the spiritual land is spiritual soil. The dozens of spiritual realms of Camp Dawn need to generate a lot of spiritual soil.

As long as there are enough goblins to cultivate the land, food is not a problem at all, and it also increases the speed of human resources.

What exciting news!

Zhang Tong didn't know much about the black market, only that participating in the black market would face huge risks. According to the 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's been a long time since the last time the market was opened, and I'm sure it will open in the near future.

Zhang Tong prepared a large sum of 20,000 gold coins, and just waited for the black market to open to see what was happening.

As for the goblins, it has been transferred to the bloodlight station one by one.

Zhang Tong came back from the camp and brought some samples of spiritual soil for the old goblin to examine.

The old goblin shouted excitedly, "This... This soil ......".

Zhang Tong frowned and said, "Is there something wrong with Turing?"

The old goblin shook his head: "No... No... I've just never seen such a high quality shrine!"

Zhang Tong thought: "What is the quality of spiritual soil?"

The fairy elder replied, "The longer the spirit soil stays in the spirit soil and the longer it is moistened by the spirit veins, the better the quality will be. Only stay for 3-7 days, the excavated spiritual soil belongs to the inferior spiritual soil, one month is the medium spiritual soil, and the three months are high-grade spiritual soil. More than half a year's spiritual soil can be said to be of the best quality. The spiritual soil provided by adults is the best soil!"

Before Camp Dawn was established, Lingmai may have existed. Tian Ling's soil, I don't know how long it was wet, the goblin was right.

"How long will this Earth last?"

"The goblins believe that the newly built Spirit Clan will not degrade within three months!"

Zhang Tong calculated that during the golden age, goblins could grow an acre of land. Among the goblins brought back by Zhang Tong, the elderly and children accounted for the majority. Only 60 people supply 1 acre, about 5 acres. The area is already huge.

The ripening period of the food grown at Tian Ling's camp usually takes 3-7 days. The higher the food, the longer the ripening period. Pseudo Tian Ling's strength is limited, and it is normal to take another 1-2 days to mature. If you grow magical herbs, the cycle will be long. According to the elves, magic herbs consume a large amount of spirit elements. Cultivating herbs in the False Spirit Clan will greatly reduce the lifespan of the field.

For Tian Ling, it is good to grow food in particular, and herbs are not considered for the time being.

Now we should consider the amount of farmland to be built.

A piece of land at Camp Dawn, about the size of a basketball court, is less than half an acre.

If you dig up spiritual soil in the ground and backfill it for reconstruction, the spiritual impulse will take a few days to moisturize. Only in this way can ordinary soil be transformed into spiritual soil and restore the ability to plant. Therefore, the cultivation of the fields affects the production of the camp. It is impossible to transfer 10 acres and 8 acres at once.

Zhang Tong would first build one acre of land, albeit only one acre, to basically meet most of the consumption of hundreds of yellow mercenaries. Solve the problem of yellow food first, and it's not too late for other mercenary groups to take their time!

The location of land reclamation should also be carefully considered.

Zhang Tong is not familiar with Xueguang Plain, so he doesn't trust any place. He finally chose the place where he met the foggy mountain forest. Although the distance is a bit far, there are several armored vehicles and off-road trucks on the Yellow River. It won't take long to drive back and forth.

A 13- or 14-year-old girl approached Zhang Tong: "Brother Wood!"

Zhang Tong was a little surprised: "Xiaoguo, is there something wrong?"

Xiaoguo blushed and said, "The colonel's sister is looking for you." There may be something that needs to be troubled ......"

What can I do for Salix?

Zhang Tong followed Xiaoguo into a stone room. Liu Shuiyan, Sun Lin and Wang Ling were all there. Wang Ling is the same. His emaciated body stood in the corner without saying a word. His long, tousled hair was draped over his body, obscuring half of his face. He played hexagon darts without even raising his head.

Sun Lin was wearing a robe and holding a long stick in his hand, standing aside. When he saw Zhang Tong, he smiled a little stiffly.

Liu Shuiyan stood between the two women. She was more than half a head taller than the two women. She didn't bother to wipe the blood from her leather armor. When Zhang Tong came in, she immediately stood up from her seat: "Wood, romantic mercenaries want to build fields. Please lend me some spiritual soil!"

Liu Shuiyan is Liu Shuiyan. It gets straight to the point and never beats around the bush.

Zhang Tong knew that Liu Shuiyan was a human being, and he didn't feel abrupt or rude. He was just a little embarrassed: "Huangquan is also farming. I'm afraid there isn't much spiritual land. ”

"It's only half an acre. Liu Shuiyan said directly: "How much, you say!"

Half an acre.

It takes digging another whole piece of land!

Zhang Tong believes that Huangquan has 2 fast level 2 Tian Ling and 5 level 1 Tian Ling, of which level 2 Tian Ling grows herbs or high-end food. The first-grade Tian Ling is generally used to grow mushrooms and low-grade foods, such as Gu Ling. Yellow Springs has a very rich food reserve in the camp, not far from a few days of harvest.

Zhang Tong thought for a while, "Okay, I'll send someone." As for money, it won't be so poor. ”

Liu Shuiyan knew that Huangquan was rich and wealthy, and he couldn't make much money in a romantic atmosphere. On the contrary, he looks like a small family. However, getting something for nothing is not Liu Shuiyan's style. She gave Zhang Tong more than 100 second-grade magic tobacco in exchange. Tobacco of the second grade is popular among mercenaries, each worth dozens of gold coins.

Miracle tobacco is effective in relieving mental stress and making people feel relaxed and happy. It is best suited for mercenaries to relieve stress and tension. Tobacco also has analgesic, sedative, and small property increases. It is a good consumer product in combat and in everyday life.

"Okay, then I'm welcome!" Zhang Tong thought of one thing: "By the way, goblin, a lonely wolf mercenary......"

"You asked too late and sold it. Liu Shuiyan said lightly: "10,000 gold coins, sell it to the Dragon Soul Mercenary Group!"

"What?" Zhang Tong hated that iron could not become steel, and said, "Is Ye Qianqiu crazy? I really think goblins are a good thing!"

"A lone wolf doesn't buy land, and he can't build a spiritual realm."

"Goblins are born with gathering skills, and there are at least 50 collectors!"

Zhang Tong couldn't wait to defeat Ye Qianqiu. Zhang Tong divides the goblins into the lone wolf and the romantic moon, because the two regiments are close to yellow, which is a kind of alliance.

Ye Qian Qiu got 10,000 gold coins and even transferred the goblin to his yellow opponent. He didn't want to discuss it with Zhang Tong. When the goods are transported on site, the goblins may be unhappy. It's a game without dignity, but what if something goes wrong...... Humans now expect goblins to have enough food!!

Zhang Tong immediately announced a new regulation for goblins.

Goblins are part of the mercenary guild and cannot be manipulated to beat, scold or betray each other. Goblins are to be cultivated by humans, they need to be paid, the standards are set by the unions, not high or low, food and lodging are in all aspects, all goblins are treated equally... Zhang Tong gave the little goblins unified benefits and treatment, which can also avoid the deception of some aspects of the dragon soul and incite the yellow goblins.
