The plan of the second-generation juicer was finalized, and Xiao Ran repeated the inspection several times, and finally determined that this is the easiest way that can be designed at present.

What is needed is a piece of bamboo, a fulcrum, a water pipe, a lever, a stone scoop, and a scoop.

At present, the difficult work is that the water pipes need to be cleaned, and the bamboo and the fulcrum supporting the bamboo are second. Although these two things used to be done in half a day for Xiao Ran, as a human being, but now this matter may take days, or even months, for the worker ants.

At that time, these three sections of sugarcane will probably be the most dry cane!" Xiao Ran thought to himself.

However, everything has to have a beginning, and cleaning the water pipes has become the first job at present.

The worker ants are not accustomed to water, and Xiao Ran thought of asking the grandmaster for help, because the grandmaster is not only larger, but also has a lot of strength with his claws, and can also use dragon fists and dragon guns, so the grandmaster is the most suitable choice for mantises.

After listening to Xiao Ran's request, the Grandmaster rejected Xiao Ran. No matter how much Xiao Ran pleaded, the Grandmaster just didn't want to. The Grandmaster said that the water's edge is a taboo for praying mantises, and only dying praying mantis will choose to go to the pool.

Xiao Ran had no choice but to ask the four Shi brothers for help, and promised that after the juicer was completed, the Shi brothers would become the first saint in history to taste sugar. The Shi brothers got such a promise and agreed to Xiao Ran.

After the efforts of the Shi brothers, the leaves blocking the water pipes at the mouth of the mountain spring were all cleaned up.

Xiao Ran was waiting early at the end of the water pipe in the sea buckthorn wasteland.

Mutter......

Gollum......

There was a sound from the water pipe. After a while, a stream of rusty water spewed out, and it was as muddy as mud.

The water flowed for a long time before it gradually turned from turbid to clear. This problem was solved. But the bamboo needed later, with the fulcrum, is far more difficult than cleaning up dead leaves.

At this moment, Jiulixiang suddenly rushed to the sea buckthorn wasteland out of breath.

"Prime Minister, Boss! There is a new enemy situation in the Shangxuan Empire. The tentacles of Jiulixiang trembled a little.

"Don't rush, speak slowly. Xiao Ran said.

"Prime Minister Boss, it turns out that these days the Xuan Empire has been ambushing under the persimmon tree, they are very hidden, and our scout ants have not found their traces until now. So, today I specially found Porco Rosso, and inquired about the details of the Shangxuan Empire with Porco Rosso, and unexpectedly got a thread ant from Porco Rosso that I could contact and was still in the Upper Xuan Empire. After that, I personally took two scout ants, and went around the cliff for three more hours, bypassing the persimmon tree, and found the line ants according to the information provided by Rossock, Prime Minister, do you know what the line ants say?"

"Say what?"

"The line ant said that the royalist faction of the Shangxuan Empire gave a death order to recapture the thatchberry, and they analyzed that we must have some purpose when we passed under the persimmon tree......" Jiulixiang paused, as if he wanted to stop the trembling of the tentacles.

"Purpose?"

"Yes," Jiulixiang continued, "although they have analyzed that we have a purpose, they don't know what that purpose is, so the soldiers of the Shangxuan Empire have been lying in ambush around the persimmon tree. Jiuli Xiang said.

"Then why don't these soldier ants directly attack the Sea Buckthorn Wasteland?" Xiao Ran asked.

"That's what I asked the Ant," Jiulixiang replied, "The Ant said that because the Shangxuan Empire had not detected how many troops there were in the Seabuckthorn Wasteland, it didn't dare to attack rashly, and just ambushed the main force of the Shangxuan Empire around the persimmon tree. Waiting for us to pass the persimmon tree again, they attacked. ”

"How many ants are there in their main force?" Xiao Ran asked again.

"Their main part has 500 soldier ants. The soldiers who fought in the persimmon tree last time were only a small part of the strength of the Shangxuan Empire, because that time they were chasing Porco Rosso in several ways, so what we encountered was only one of them. Jiulixiang replied.

Oh...... So that's it...... It turns out that there has been an ambush under the persimmon tree, no wonder the wizard divination said that it is not advisable to go to the peanut field...... But this Shangxuan Empire has 500 soldiers and ants, if they directly attack the Seabuckthorn Wasteland, even if the rattan pepper can defeat a hundred, it is not the opponent of the Shangxuan Empire at all.

Jiulixiang said again: "In addition to these, we have also obtained an important piece of information. ”

"What information?"

"Because the Shangxuan Empire doesn't know the specific strength of the Seabuckthorn Wasteland, they will recently send a messenger to the Seabuckthorn Wasteland to find out the truth. Jiuli Xiang said.

"Okay, got it, do you have any other information?" Xiao Ran asked.

"No, Prime Minister. Jiulixiang replied.

"Alright, then you go scouting. By the way, the intelligence work of the Artemisia Empire should not be stopped. Xiao Ran commanded.

"Yes!"

With that, Jiulixiang turned around and left.

"Wait!"

Xiao Ran suddenly stopped Jiulixiang.

But the words that can be received are not by listening, but by seeing, Jiulixiang has already turned her body, so this time Xiaoran's words Jiulixiang can't hear it at all.

Xiao Ran hurriedly ran to the front of Jiuli Xiang and said in a mustache: "Wait!"

After listening to this, Jiulixiang stopped and asked, "Prime Minister, is there anything else?"

"I want to ask, there are also scout ants in the Shangxuan Empire?" Xiao Ran asked.

"Yes, the Shangxuan Empire also has it. Jiulixiang replied.

"Then why didn't they detect the specific strength of the Sea Buckthorn Zerg United Nations?"

"This ......" Jiulixiang thought for a moment and replied, "Our ant cells are very loyal to the country, and I have done counter-reconnaissance work in the Sea Buckthorn Wasteland. ”

"Hmm. Go for it!"

Xiao Ran listened to it and was very satisfied, this Jiuli Xiang was fully qualified for the work of the reconnaissance sentry, and he didn't have to do it himself.

With this information, Xiao Ran carefully analyzed the current situation. Although the winter grain reserve is sufficient for the time being, if more ants or other Zerg members are added, the winter grain reserve is likely to be insufficient.

If you don't defeat the Shangxuan Empire, finding peanuts becomes an impossible thing. But the 500 soldiers and ants of the Shangxuan Empire, with 36 spear ants in the Sea Buckthorn Wasteland plus 8 soldiers and ants of rattan pepper and red pig, there are more than 40 troops in total, how can they defeat in the face of more than ten times the strength of their own.

It seems that for the time being, the production of salt peanuts can only rely on the divination of sorcerers. Wait for the sorcerer's divination to reach the right day, and then set out immediately.

At present, taking advantage of these gaps, we have to hurry up and finish the juicer.

Oh!

It is necessary to make the Shangxuan Empire think that the Seabuckthorn Wasteland is an impenetrable defense, so that they do not dare to attack rashly.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ran decided to convene a summit meeting of the Sea Buckthorn Zerg United Nations to discuss a good strategy to deal with the Shangxuan Empire.
