Weasels bite sick ducks! Coincidentally, at this juncture, the Second Goblin Empire suddenly threw over a large number of human refugees from the main continent, which was tantamount to giving Luo Zhengdao a dilemma, whether to continue the war operation or stop and solve the problem first, the nascent Kingdom of Light definitely did not have the ability to meet these two options at the same time.

It is true that the goblins are not very clever in this trick, and the rapidly growing population will sooner or later be transformed into the productivity and soldiers of the opponent, and there is a great danger of lifting a stone to shoot themselves in the foot, but it seems that this small measure is worth it for the goblins to create a few years of peace when they are faced with multiple crises and superimposed respite. At least in the foreseeable future, it will be difficult for Luo Zhengdao, who is moving forward with a heavy load, to grow into a strong competitor at the level of a great power, and the tactic of exchanging population for time is theoretically completely feasible.

Deeply feeling the unhappiness of being controlled by others, Luo Zhengdao couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh at this moment, and said sadly:

"Alas, it seems that to solve the food problem, we still have to promote seaweed farms!"

To say that as a kind of emergency ration and adjust the daily diet taste of non-staple food, seaweed is basically qualified, in the warm shallow sea waters with abundant sunlight to plant seaweed, which is also Luo Zhengdao has been committed to improving the promotion of production technology, by the professional institutions to breed new varieties of seaweed, the yield and quality are much better than the natural native varieties. Especially in the perennially warm waters such as the Sea of Stars, the potential for seaweed farms to increase production is huge, and the prospects of this project are very natural and logical to the discerning person.

In spite of the abundance of seaweed, Zola Hegel's face darkened a little more at the mention of the subject, and he swallowed his saliva and complained:

"Well, that seaweed food is sticky and slippery, it's really hard to eat, it's worse than pig food."

Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao, who was also not used to eating this kind of food, couldn't help but smile bitterly, raised his hand and pointed to the black crowd below and said:

"No matter how unpalatable the seaweed is, it's better than watching them starve to death!"

In the old world, there was a drug named 666 with a number, which is said to be because researchers conducted a total of 666 tests to find out the correct formula, and later someone came out to refute the rumor that this story was purely fabricated by some civil warriors, and it was roughly the same as the apple that smashed Newton. Anyway, the story is right, scientific research is a process of trial and error in the face of mistakes, and if you don't try to accept mistakes, you will never find the right place.

On the dark path of scientific groping, there are always tens or hundreds of times more opportunities to make mistakes than to discover the only right path, and those who refuse to waste stupid efforts to constantly eliminate mistakes are not qualified to talk about what is right, because opportunists do not deserve success

"陛xià! 陛xià! We have good news for you. ”

It is common sense that when the tide rises, when he was a pirate earl earlier, Luo Zhengdao's financial resources could support two mage advisors at most. In the past two years, his status and title have risen from earl to regent to king, not to mention, his men and territory have also continued to expand. Those low-level mages who had not learned anything in the arcane realm were happy to find a generous patron to fund their further studies, and the total number of arcanists who came to Luo Zhengdao in the future had already exceeded the double-digit mark. Except for the four Arcanists who stayed on Wake Reef to ensure the normal operation of the Mage Tower, the remaining seven mage advisors all moved to Qiongzhou with Luo Zhengdao.

Seeing a few mage advisors who were in a hurry to show their skills to him, Luo Zhengdao did not show any impatient negative feelings, he stood up with a smile, greeted and said:

"Ladies and gentlemen, please be seated! What happened? ”

"Your Majesty, we have cultivated the kind of intestinal algae you formulated in the real yàn room, this is the latest sample, are you satisfied with it?"

In the fresh state, it is dark green intestinal algae, which has been boiled to show an unsightly brownish yellow, although it smells no special with his nose, Luo Zhengdao still has a strict resistance to this high-risk activity of Shennong tasting herbs, he is not afraid of poisoning or anything, but purely worried about losing his appetite. What is the taste of these things grown in the seaweed farm, during the difficult years when Wake Reef was besieged by the goblin fleet, in order to show that he shared the weal and woe with his subordinates, he used to insist on eating seaweed and grass every day, and the conclusion was that this thing is called proper dark cuisine! Without mastering the proper cooking technique, it can only be said that seaweed is stronger than swill, and it can fill your belly without spitting it out if you eat it, but if you want to talk about how delicious it is, you really think too much about it.

Embarrassed for a moment, Luo Zhengdao quickly thought that he was no longer what he used to be, so he smiled and beckoned the boatswain to protect himself from the disaster, and said:

"Zola, I just had lunch, I don't have much appetite right now, you can try it!"

If you look at the food standards of the dark region from the perspective of the old world, it is definitely a darker place than John Bull's ancestral dark cooking skills, and Zora Hegel, who was born in the city-state of Drow, has always liked food and wine, which does not mean that he can't eat those strange foods.

At this time, an attendant stepped forward to bring the plate of cooked enteroweed samples and placed them directly in front of the boatswain, while Luo Zhengdao watched his expression change with interest.

With a big grin, Zola Hegel didn't put the seaweed in his mouth to taste it, his nose fanned slightly, and then he broke off a little and put it in his mouth and began to chew slowly. Luo Zhengdao looked at his courage to try new things, and took a look at Zola Hegel's ability, and the good habits of life developed in a treacherous environment allowed the boatswain to survive the harsh environment of the drow elven city-state, which was full of infighting and assassination. His seemingly casual sniffing, as well as the slow chewing that followed, actually contained a lot of experience accumulated in tasting poisons. Living on the territory of the drow elves, if you are the master who stuffs everything into your mouth, you will definitely be dead in less than half a day.

After a while, Zola, who was sure that there was no problem, swallowed the seaweed that he had been chewing for a long time, and commented:

"Well, the taste is rather bad, a bit like a cheap sausage with more flour, tell the chef to remember to add more spices and shellfish next time you cook, you can improve the taste."

Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao nodded with satisfaction, even if it is used as an emergency food for famine relief, taste is also a very important selection condition, and turned his head to several mage advisors and said:

"What is the unit yield of this seaweed?"

"It's slightly lower than other seaweeds, but it's much more edible."

Intestinal algae is the part of macroseaweed that stores nutrients, so the starch content is relatively high, and it is no problem to use it to satisfy hunger.

"The first batch of intestinal algae raised will be used to raise livestock, and after a few months, it will be confirmed that there is no problem with long-term consumption before giving it to humans."

"Yes, His Majesty the King."

There is a joke in the old world that is not funny, a person asked a scientist, saying that since you are engaged in scientific research, you must first use dogs as real yàn to accumulate experience, and directly use humans as guinea pigs, this cliff can't be called scientific research!

Similar to GMOs. No amount of caution could be suspicious of food and other weird things that God knows what side effects will end up eating, and the Spanish colonists who sent smallpox blankets to Native Americans sent congratulatory telegrams. We have always believed in God, if God forgives you, we will definitely not kill you, if God and his old man will not forgive you, then please go to God with peace of mind!

This kind of dangerous goods is not taken to the dog for decades to be rashly promoted, and the emotional food accident is not the rich and powerful family children suffer, your family has a special supply is not in a hurry! Sanlu milk powder ate hundreds of thousands of stone babies, and finally the company cleverly announced bankruptcy auction, directly took the money to repay the bank and the big creditor, and compensated the majority of victims' families when there was no money on the books, I can only say that it is a pity that the aftermath is not resolved, and so on can only be attributed to the problem of the buttocks, no way, the butt decides the head!

Most of those grassroots politicians with similar backgrounds to Luo Zhengdao retain some civilian consciousness, and they do not feel that they are the chosen people and the true lords of life, and they still have a sense of empathy and compassion when dealing with ordinary people. This is both an advantage and a disadvantage, whether it is good or bad, that can only be inferred from the result in reverse

The air pressure in the secret room continued to be low, and Luo Zhengdao was coldly observing the visitor opposite at the moment, secretly figuring out how to send the other party away quickly. Trading with creatures in the lower planes, whether successful or unsuccessful, is a tightrope trick above the abyss, and smart people are better off not playing this dangerous game until the last resort.

"No, Your Royal Highness the Regent, I should now address you as Your Majesty, haven't you made a decision on whether or not you want to sign the deed?"

Hearing the urging of the devil's spokesman, Luo Zhengdao's always straight face couldn't help twitching a few times, and he reluctantly replied:

"Ahh I'm really sorry, I've been busy lately, so I won't say anything superfluous. Your Excellency will not come to the main material world just to urge me, please tell me if you have anything to say! ”

As if to hear the opponent's resistance, the devil's representative said with a smile:

"Haha, I believe that His Majesty the King already knows that the bloody war has begun to spread underground in the main continent."

As soon as this matter was mentioned, Luo Zhengdao immediately straightened his waist, nodded solemnly, and replied:

"Of course, my intelligence network is always useful."

"There is no end in sight to our war with the abyss, and Asmodeus is not willing to give up on this remote battlefield, and His Majesty hopes to have the strong support of his allies."

It's not that he hasn't fought in a ghost place like a bloody war, and the battle is so tragic that death becomes a pure number game, even Luo Zhengdao, who retreated with his whole body, will still have a heart palpitation and a cold sweat when he recalls it. If it weren't for the fact that he had the hole card of the magic card master, and he played the scene of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger well, it is estimated that he would not be able to hold on to the battlefield of the bloody battle for even a month, can this game be played casually?

Immediately, Luo Zhengdao's eyes stared at each other, and he said word by word:

"The cruelty of the bloody war, I have witnessed with my own eyes, if I want to plunge into this shrunken version of the bloody war, what is the reward?"
