Pineapple, sugar cane, radish, beets, rice...... Now it is the last planting season of the year, especially the multi-cropping rice brought from Jia43, and the normal harvest can meet the annual consumption of 20,000 barbarians based on the current cultivated area of the island.

The war between the rabbits and the barbarians has only just begun. The former was hunted and killed by the latter, and it was made into rabbit jerky when it couldn't be eaten for a while. Rabbits have a strong reproductive capacity, and although the island has lost more than half of its green space, the remaining forest still supports the rabbits' needs. Unfortunately, the barbarians soon discovered this secret, and they surrounded the forest in order to quickly reduce the huge rabbit herd. By the time the seeds were planted on the newly cultivated land and the second wave of rain began to irrigate naturally, the rabbits finally lost their absolute dominance over Jeju Island and were forced to give way to these outsiders who were full of food concepts.

The snakes have been slain, the lions have long since disappeared, and the last cheetah has been the result of the search team last week, and in addition to this, there are all kinds of different types of birds, their meat is delicious, and their eggs are delicious...... (People who want to be crooked face the wall)

As long as you are willing to eat, sooner or later the world will have to bow down and kowtow before your tongue and teeth.

In the eyes of the northern barbarians, the greatest meaning of survival is for food.

The southern part of Jeju Fortress is designated as a construction area for a port and dock. There is a very nice shore deep water area, and with a little construction, it is a good harbor. The dock is located on the east side, which is easy to get stones and easy to build the slipway.

Thanks to the use of paper, all captains, including Zhengjiang, were required to write their logbooks on time. In Rock City, four training courses for sailors and senior seafarers have been held. The educational model was simple, divided into shipping and cultural courses, with the former being taught by experienced veteran sailors and current captains, and the latter being conducted by priests. Tianhao never wanted these barbarians to learn how advanced scientific and cultural knowledge they had, but they had to be able to write their own names and be able to write down their experiences and experiences at sea for posterity.

According to the size and practical use, there are three types of large sea vessels currently manufactured by the Rock City Dockyard. The first is the same cargo ship as the "Viper", with a large space in the interior, a strong hull, and a deadweight (non-displacement) of about one and a half thousand tons.

The second type is fishing boats. Modeled after the Great Viper, the Barbarian craftsmen reduced the mainmast of a ship without altering the base keel, freeing up more space on board for fishing equipment such as trawls, cast nets, pulley improvised cranes, long poles, and whaling guns...... With a deadweight of about 1,000 tons, these brigs can even sail long distances across the sea regardless of high-intensity storms, making them true distant-water fishing vessels.

The third type is the warship, which has not been created in real objects at the moment, but is just a design lying on paper. On the one hand, Tianhao has higher requirements for warships, and he believes that he can accumulate experience by manufacturing a large number of civilian ships, and the future warship technology can be directly upgraded to ironclad ships. It was to imitate the practice of Western countries in the Age of Discovery, and a layer of steel plates was covered on the surface of large three-masted warships, which could have a good bulletproof effect.

With Jeju Island as a starting point, the new marine fishing grounds are full of hope. Although the current situation is far from the near-depletion of resources in the coastal fisheries of the civilized era, in the long run, distant-water fishing is the trend of the future and must be prepared.

Curved teeth demarcated a military-specific test area on the island. Thanks to Tianhao's experience beyond the times, Quya began to develop granular black powder on the basis of powdered gunpowder. The research and development process of all-steel cast artillery and muskets is satisfactory, and the main focus is on firing solid projectiles, and the second research item is chain projectiles.

Rifling is a great achievement in the history of firearms development. The advanced information that Tianhao handed over to the curved teeth just reached this level. In fact, when I first saw these materials, the curved teeth could not understand the propulsive balance between rifling and the high-speed rotation of the projectile. Tianhao did not require him to make results within the specified time, anyway, it is just an enlightening data reserve, and the specific extent can only be seen step by step.

During this time, Tianhao would take some time out every day to visit Bonnard who was lying in the hospital bed.

His recovery was very good, and there was no strong rejection that Tianhao feared most and caused the collapse of the internal system. Bonnard has a good appetite and is especially fond of bread and omelettes with a bowl of hot fish soup.

The spore implantation had a decisive effect on Bonnard's brain, and he began to tell Tianhao more about the southern part of the continent.

We don't have as much stuff there as you have. Well, probably because you are giants and we are short, the cup in which you drink water is equivalent to our bowl, and your bowl is equivalent to our basin. Your women...... Forget it, let's change the subject, although women are the common focus of interest for all men, especially the face and figure, but the giantess ...... They just can't associate me with all sorts of beautiful adjectives.

Your horses, as well as your pigs, are much larger than ours. Let's talk about horses, I've never seen such a tall animal, and our horses are at least a quarter smaller than that, and pigs and cows, which are pretty much the same.

It's no secret.

"Old Mama" said that most of the animals in this world are made by computers. The impact of an asteroid on Earth has led to a long period of high-concentration radiation, and the difference in size between the northern barbarians and the southern whites stems from the genetic project of the civilization era. Humans have long planned to leave a large number of closed sperm (harmony) sub-banks, which, together with the species genes, automatically generate new destroyed species in the relatively "clean" low-radiation zone environment after the cataclysm.

This is how humans are born, and pigs, horses, cows and sheep are no exception. Today, the reason why the contrast between similar species in the north and south of the continent is so strong is because of the Suolongguan.

"We have always had a legend that the Dragon Pass is a door to keep the demons out, and from there there is hell to the north. There are giants there, who use us as food, who like to screw off their heads to drink fresh blood, and who cut down whole trees, sharpen them, and go through our mouths, all the way through our buttocks, and roast them over the fire like meat skewers. ”

"Many years ago, the Holy Lord issued an oracle forbidding people to cross the Lock Dragon Pass and go to the north. But there are those who do not believe it, especially the blasphemers who have turned their backs on the Holy Lord, who have crossed the blockade and barriers to the north and have not been heard from since. ”

"The Gospel of the Divine Oracle says that all the giants of the north are devils."

The difference in the size of the same species in different regions made Tianhao feel indescribable shock from Bonnard's words.

He had always thought that the animals in the north and south of the continent were like this, with huge sizes that surpassed the era of civilization. Bighorn deer, fanged pigs, maned bears, black howling wolves...... But now listening to the meaning of Bonnard's words, it is obvious that he was wrong.

The Dragon Lock Pass is a door to keep the demons in the way.

Does this phrase have a double meaning?

With this as a line, are there two worlds?

Purely in terms of animal size, it seems to be right.

But from a biological point of view, this makes no sense at all.

Animals are not plants, they move, they climb mountains, they cross plains, they are instinctively driven to move to new food sources. Divide a whole connected continent into two parts, unless it is an impassable mountain, an unfathomable moat, or a threat of death that animals cannot approach.

Like Australia, where marsupials grew in civilized times, the vast sea cut off the possibility of their reproduction to other lands.

For the first time after coming to this barbaric era, Tianhao felt that he should go to Suolong Pass to see what was going on there.

After the implantation of the spores, Bonnard's face was not guarded at all, and from the depths of his eyes he released the fanaticism of the worshippers, and he thought deeply: "Master, there is something that I think is very strange. ”

Tianhao withdrew his thoughts from the distance and glanced at the short white follower: "Say it! ”

"Your potatoes and corn here smell weird. I ate some steamed cornbread and mashed potatoes mixed with fish, and it felt very bitter and not as delicious as ours. ”

Cornmeal is mixed with a small amount of flour and kneaded into fist-sized balls, which are pressed out of the hollow holes from the bottom, which is the standard practice of wowotou. The reason for this is that the cornmeal is heavy, and it takes a lot of fire to steam the whole whole, and the hollow kneading method can save fuel; Then there is the lack of food a long time ago, although the nest head is small, but it looks big, and the poor people will comfort themselves when they eat it, "I ate two big nests today", which belongs to the typical practice of self-deception and air coaxing belly when there is a shortage of food.

The word "wowotou" is not in the dictionary of white Southerners, and Bonnard can only interpret it as a kind of "cornbread" steamed in a drawer pot.

"Bitter?" Tianhao repeated the word, subconsciously frowning.

People who have undergone spore implantation surgery and have not experienced rejection will not keep secrets in front of them, let alone flatter and pretend to be secrets and exaggerate.

Since Bonnard said this, he must have a point.

"Corn is supposed to be sweet, and in our case it can even be used to make syrup, but it's not as sweet as honey. I like to eat potatoes, which are the daily staple food of the common people, and there are many ways to eat them, baked, boiled, and stewed...... There was everything, but I had never eaten a potato with such a special taste. Even if it is boiled with fish soup, it cannot hide the faint bitterness. ”

Bonnard's face was full of honesty.

Tianhao faintly felt that he had grasped something important, but he didn't know what it was for a while.

He pondered for a long time, then called the guard on duty outside the door into the room and ordered a bag of cornmeal and a bag of potato granules.

It's something from the Leono. The exchange of peat for food has become an important trade item between the Rock Collar and the Leon Clan.

At the same time, two women were also summoned, and according to Tianhao's request, they poured out a small amount of cornmeal and potato granules from their pockets, one mixed with water and flour, and the other washed and dried potato granules with warm water, and then brought the basin to the next kitchen...... Soon, the steaming wowotou and fish soup stewed potatoes were placed on the table, and the aroma was overflowing.

Normally, the potato pellets must be soaked in water for a long time until they are completely boiled before they can be simmered, and the fish broth will become very thick, and all the slimy contents will be mixed together. The pot of stew in front of Tianhao was much more refreshing, and he scooped up a piece of potato with a spoon and put it in his mouth, chewing it slowly, feeling that the taste was no different from usual.

It's the same with Wotou.

Bonnard tasted both things, and a cautious expression appeared on his face: "It's still the same taste, it's a little bitter, it's not very tasty." ”

In the hold of the captured "Obsidian", the only grain stored was bread and bacon. For ease of preservation, they hardly have any moisture and are as hard as stone. For a time, Tianhao could not find similar species from the southern white world for comparison.

He tapped Bonnard's shoulder lightly with his fingers, trying to keep his voice as normal as possible: "You rest first, I still have things to deal with." ”

Bonnard bent down and bowed deeply to him.

……

Tianhao didn't delay for a second, he immediately set off with his guards, left the fishing village, and rushed to Rock City.

Broken Tooth ordered the unused cornmeal and potato pellets in the two cloth bags to be sealed, and he arranged for two other guards to carry the uneaten wotou and the pot of stew respectively. The latter could only be contained in a jar, the mouth of the jar was sealed tightly and firmly fastened to the horse's back with a rope. The road was bumpy, and by the time I arrived at Rock City, it was completely cold.

Tianhao led the guards directly to the city prison. He walked quickly, his calm expression concealing his anxiety that he didn't even know what it was. There seemed to be a transparent wall in front of him, and it was only at this moment that he felt a depression in the smooth wall, which could be a mechanism to open the wall, or it could be a little scratch left by the years that had existed for a long time.

It's early in the morning, and it's still early in the morning.

Shi Yong lay on the bed and fell asleep, feeling very bad when he was suddenly woken up from his deep sleep, he rubbed his sleepy eyes, endured the extreme discomfort of his body, leaned sideways, blocked the dazzling light released by the torch with his left hand, glanced at Tianhao standing in front of him with a little annoyance, and coldly sneered: "What, I finally figured it out, I can't wait to kill me now?" ”

He didn't see this time as a gesture of goodwill to pull himself out of bed.

"I thought of something temporarily, the situation is urgent, I'm sorry to disturb your rest." Tianhao's mood became relatively calm, he had calmed down, turned around and motioned to the guards to put the nest head and the jar containing the stew on the table, and said seriously: "I made something to eat, taste it." ”
