Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Salt Fruit Tree (Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation)
Lack of salt?
After hearing Iron Horse's words, Liu Dalu's first reaction was that Iron Horse was teasing him, and there was still a shortage of salt next to the sea? Are you kidding?
But then, Liu Dalu reflected, now is not modern, when buying a bag of salt for two yuan, it is now the Eastern Han Dynasty, and sea salt has not been developed at all, all of which are well salt or rock salt, and it is still in the era of exclusive sales by the government.
In an age like this, the lack of salt is not surprising.
Now Qingping County can be said to be isolated from the world, and the government has also run away, of course, it is impossible for official salt to be transported again, and Tiejiabao can no longer buy salt.
The iron horse looked at the dragon king with a blank eye, hoping that the dragon king could come out with a way, and everything else could be overcome, but the lack of salt was not good, if you didn't eat salt for a long time, you would be weak, which even the ancients knew.
"How long can the current salt last?"
"About ten days."
"Ten days? Let me think. ”
Liu Dalu thought back to the situation on the seaside, he was wondering if there was a suitable place for drying sea salt on the beach, and then he determined that that the sea area was not suitable for drying sea salt, unless the terrain there was transformed on a large scale, but it was definitely too late in time.
If you can't dry sea salt, Liu Dalu also knows a way to make salt, which modern people should also know, that is, boiling seawater, after the sea water is boiled dry, what is left is salt and some sundries, so that after several boiling, you can finally get good salt.
However, Liu Dalu immediately denied this method, because this method is too slow to work, it takes a lot of cauldrons, and it takes a lot of firewood, and the manpower and material resources invested are completely disproportionate compared to the harvest.
If you can't make your own salt, then you have to go outside to buy it, but Liu Dalu still vetoed this method, Tiejiabao plus Qingping County, more than 7,000 people, because of the rumors of monsters, the relationship between other counties and Qingping County is tense, and the road of buying salt is not going to work at all, besides, Liu Dalu wants Qingping County to be self-sufficient, how can he go outside to buy salt every day?
However, in the face of such a predicament, the Dragon King was not panicked at all, and he said to the iron horse: "Don't worry, let me think about it." ”
"Everything is up to the Dragon King."
"Well, it's all with me."
The Dragon King's guarantee is really good, at least Tie Ma is really not panicked, because he believes that the Dragon King must have a way.
........
"Alas, I was going to leave some faith points just in case, but now it seems that I have to use the second creation technique, but it's okay, I'm not sure what the second creation technique is used for, so use it to make salt."
Calling out the system, I habitually glanced at the properties panel.
Ryujin cultivation system

Clicking on the creation page on the fourth page, Liu Dalu pondered for a moment, he was thinking about the keyword group related to salt.
"There is no doubt that modern technology is the fastest way to make salt, but this direction must be passed, the technical level system of modern technology is too huge, just in terms of electricity, the first-level creation technology can never be done, so we can only start from other aspects, excluding modern technology, so how to make salt?"
"Seawater is there, so the most important thing is the method of refining seawater, solar energy? It doesn't seem to work, if you want to dry salt, you must have a field, and it is a huge field, and the coastline does not match. ”
"No, modern processes can also be used, because solar energy can be converted into electricity, so you can use machinery that can convert solar energy into electricity? But it feels too complicated, and the first-level creation technique can't be created, so let's try it first. ”
After combining the keyword groups 'salt', 'solar conversion power machinery', 'refining' and 'large output', Liu Dalu saw it and exploded directly, and the first-level creation technique could not create this kind of machinery at all.
I tried again a few times, adding or removing some keyword groups, but I still didn't find anything, the most important thing is that he didn't know anything about the modern salt making process, and if he did, he could still create items in a fixed and specified way, which should be easier.
So the old man of the dragon king was furious: "Then completely throw away the idea of modern technology, I still don't believe it, I can get out of the glowing grapes, and I can't make an item that can refine salt?" Wow, glowing grapes? ”
Liu Dalu's gaze fell on the grapes of the glowing grapes, which stored a lot of electricity.
Liu Dalu's eyes lit up: "Yes, you can use plants to refine salt, I remember that there are many kinds of plants that can absorb water and store it for the dry summer, what if the water is replaced with salt?" ”
Expanding along this line of thought, Liu Dalu felt more and more that there was a door, "Plants that grow in seawater can absorb seawater, and through some conversion mechanism, seawater is discharged, leaving salt crystals and then growing in the way of fruit?" I'm going, I'm such a genius. ”
After having a clear idea, Liu Dalu experimented, and the test results were completely feasible, Liu Dalu had a feeling that creating plants and creating machines seemed to require fewer faith points.
In the end, Liu Da Ruth chose a plant to use as a carrier.
"Or with grapes? Forget it, don't use grapes, otherwise one makes salt and the other shines, which is easy to confuse, but this plant must be able to bear fruit. ”
There are still many plants around Tiejiabao that can bear fruit, such as peach trees, such as mulberry trees, and a few apricot trees, but Liu Dalu was a little undecided, and in a blink of an eye, he saw a plant growing on the side of the road.
This is a lantern fruit, because the fruit is ripe and shaped like a lantern, so it is called so, the scientific name is sour berry, it is a wild herbaceous plant, it is particularly widely distributed, Liu Dalu still remembers that he went to the countryside to eat it when he was a child, sweet and sour, it is still very delicious.
Liu Dalu looked at it carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became: "There are more fruits, more branches and branches, and smaller plants, so you should have great potential, and that's you." ”
Liu Dalu is going to add the lantern fruit to the keyword group, and now, the keyword group becomes: can only grow in seawater, the fruit is rich in sea salt crystals, the yield is high, the growth rate is fast, the lantern fruit, the seed.
After a while, the information came out, and Liu Dalu found that it only took 1,700 points to create it.
"Looking at the faith points consumed, this lantern fruit is obviously worse than the glowing grapes, and the salt-making effect is probably not very good."
After groaning, Liu Dalu added a little more stuff to it, and added the word 'pole' to 'fast growth rate', which became 'extremely fast growth rate'.
Now, it goes directly to the full value of the first-level creation technique.
"It can only grow in seawater, the fruit is rich in sea salt crystals, the yield is high, the growth rate is extremely fast, the lantern fruit, the seeds, these should be no problem combined."
The Dragon King was a little apprehensive in his heart, he felt that the two times he used the Creation Technique made his heart beat a little faster, and this unknown effect was really a bit exciting.
This is also a fantasy plant, and it must no longer use the name of the lantern fruit, Liu Dalu renamed it: salt fruit, if it can grow very huge in the future, then add a tree in the back, called the salt fruit tree.
