Although it was already night, everyone was still in good spirits.

Everyone didn't want to sleep.

One after another, the salt fruits grew and were picked by everyone, and these salt fruits grew about the same size, and they were very neat.

The first salt fruit has been opened, the skin of the salt fruit is very thin, the juice is also full of salt, of course, the same is true in the flesh, everyone used a small pot to boil the juice dry, forming pure white salt crystals, but the weight is less than half of the fruit.

A salt fruit weighs about four catties, so it can be concluded that each salt fruit can produce two catties of pure salt.

That's a remarkable amount.

The most important thing is that the growth rate of salt fruit trees is very fast, on average, they can produce one salt fruit per hour, and 24 hours a day, which can produce almost 50 catties of salt, which is 1,500 catties of salt a month.

Compared with modern technology, such a yield is definitely incomparable, but in ancient times, this kind of salt production is definitely high, and the way is very simple, as long as the salt fruit tree is planted in the sea, the manpower and material resources required are almost none.

Liu Dalu deliberately went into the water, observed under the water for a while, and then came to a conclusion that when the salt fruit tree absorbs the seawater, it will purify the seawater by the way, if the sea water does not circulate, with the ability of the salt fruit tree, I believe that the seawater in the nearby area will soon be purified into fresh water, but if the sea water becomes fresh water, the salt fruit tree will not be able to grow.

"In the future, salt fruit trees must be planted in places where the seawater conversion speed is fast, otherwise if the surrounding seawater is depleted, the yield will be reduced, which must be noted."

Although he was frightened for a long time, the outcome was quite good, the salt fruit tree had already met his requirements, and when the salt fruit tree slowly grew up, the wider the root system covered, the yield would be further increased, so to speak, the potential of the salt fruit tree was still quite high.

This way of plant salt production can be summed up as stable, efficient and simple, and Liu Dalu expressed his satisfaction with this.

By the early hours of the morning, everyone couldn't stay up anymore and went to sleep.

The Dragon King waited until after twelve o'clock, when the faith points were refreshed, and he used another savage growth on the salt fruit tree, which grew to nine meters high, and the root enveloping range expanded to a radius of eighteen meters and a diameter of thirty-six meters.

With this expansion, the production speed of salt fruit has increased again, from the first hour to 45 minutes.

"Wait for a day today, and use the magic again tomorrow, it should be able to increase the output speed of the salt fruit a little more, and then you can let the salt fruit tree grow naturally."

..........

The Dragon King woke up smelling the smell of meat.

Yesterday, because the beginning was not going well, everyone was not in the mood to eat, just hastily solved a meal, now the salt has been made, everyone is in a better mood, and they can finally have a good meal.

You must know that many people are obsessed with coconut crabs, but unfortunately the seaside is too far away from Tiejiabao, and it is not easy to come once, but since you are here, you have to eat a big meal.

Therefore, everyone's breakfast is a roasted coconut crab meal, and they don't feel tired of panicking.

Seeing the Dragon King wake up, Tie Ling hurriedly brought the coconut meat to the Dragon King's mouth, which was all crab meat picked out of the crab shell, and each piece was carefully cooked by Wang Yong.

Liu Dalu nodded to Tie Ling, and turned his head to look at the salt fruit tree: "You've already produced so many fruits?" ”

From last night to now, seven or eight more fruits have grown on the salt fruit tree, and everyone did not rush to pick them this time, so let the fruit be on the tree.

"Dragon King, this salt fruit tree is growing too fast." Tie Ling smiled from ear to ear, "In the blink of an eye, it's a salt fruit." ”

"And this salt is refined salt, much better than the salt we used to eat, I heard that only those high-ranking officials can eat this kind of salt."

"The salt is so white, and there's no sand."

"How can I say that today's crab meat is better than last time, it turns out that the salt is better."

"When we get the salt back, everyone will be happy."

The old man of the dragon king was speechless, but he also expressed his understanding, salt is really a luxury in this era, the price is higher than food, and ordinary people don't know what is mixed with the salt they eat.

A seabird flew in from afar and landed on a salt-fruit tree, ready to rest.

Someone rushed out, shouting and throwing stones, startling the seabirds away: "There are too many birds, I feel that I have to leave a few people here to take care of them in the future, so as not to let the birds peck at the fruit." ”

"Hmm." Tie Yong swallowed the crab meat in his mouth and said, "I think we should build a few wooden houses around here, and some people will live here in the future." ”

"Resident? You can come in turns, stay here for a few days, pick a batch of salt fruits, and wait for the second group of people to come, and the first group of people will take the salt fruits back to Tiejiabao. ”

"The Dragon King's method is good, so let's start repairing the wooden house today?"

"Fix it, I slept with a sore back yesterday, fix it early, and I can be more comfortable staying here in the future."

"Yes, fix it, fix it quickly."

After breakfast, everyone began to act, the dragon king naturally did not participate, and Tie Ling did not need to, she had to guard the salt fruit tree and drive away the seabirds that flew over from time to time.

Liu Dalu also had nothing to do, and he was also with Tie Ling, looking at the salt fruit tree.

"Dragon King, look, what's there? Fish? Tie Ling pointed to the distance and suddenly asked.

Liu Dalu took a look: "That's a shark, when the shark swims across the sea, the fins will look like this, the shark is a very powerful fish in the sea, the size is very large, but it usually does not come to the beach." ”

"Dragon King, are there a lot of big fish in the sea?"

"Well, the sea is much larger than the land, so there are a lot of big fish, and the biggest ones are bigger than elephants."

"Elephants? So how do you catch them? ”

"You can only take a boat, but the current small boat can't do it, you have to have a big boat, but even if it's a big ship, it can't reach the depths of the seabed, maybe you can build a city on the bottom of the sea in the future, and then you can."

"Is there a city under the sea?"

"No, but you can build your own, and you can live at the bottom of the sea in the future."

Living under the sea? Tie Ling thought about it, but he couldn't think of the concept of living in the sea.

The Dragon King became interested, "Now the Dragon King Palace in Daqing Mountain is not a real Dragon King Palace at all, and the Dragon King Palace can be built on the bottom of the sea in the future, and when a real Sea Dragon King commands a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals, haha, that's interesting." ”

"It turns out that the place where the Sea Dragon King lives is the Dragon King's Palace? That's where the gods live. ”

"Well, after it is built, everyone will go to live together, there are many treasures in the sea."

Originally, Liu Dalu hadn't thought about building a city in the sea, but since it was all said, the Dragon King decided to come down, and when there were more believers in the future, he must build a big city on the bottom of the sea and become a real Dragon King Palace.
