Chapter 983: Earth Elemental Plane (12)

Scholar.

This is a division of labor that rarely appears among insects, even among vertebrates and mammals, and only intelligent beings have the surplus productivity to feed such a group of idle people.

What we want to see is a colony of ants with scientific research capabilities, even though they are far less intelligent than beasts.

In order to ensure their survival and fecundity, Leo also deliberately modified some ant eggs that have not yet hatched, and the ants hatched from these eggs can inherit the mantle of these ant scholars, and more importantly, they have the ability to reproduce - whether the descendants of the ant colony can have the ability to reproduce depends on the choice of the queen, what Leo has to do is to let the queen ant who has become smart hatch a certain amount of "scholar's eggs", and combine with the previous generation of scholars to give birth to an appropriate amount of scholar's eggs, to ensure that the scholar class will not disappear, nor will it be overextended.

Next, it still depends on how they develop, as for observation, I didn't think about it when I laid out the sheep village, but now we also have a plan - in the future, Ricardo and Tyrannosaurus rex, or people from the Sainsian school, can accept regular observation tasks.

The changes in these objects of observation may not be very fast, and even on the evolutionary path designed by Leo, we may not be able to see them when we reach the realm of gods...... Therefore, these experiments should be left to the subordinates and future generations.

This can be regarded as the seed of science that Leo has in mind.

After finishing the arrangement, we returned to the ground and headed in the direction of Gaia.

Along the way, I also met three good Rock Queens, one of whom was much stronger than Sharon Stone, but they all refused to follow us.

I didn't plan to bring a few back, as long as there was a representative of each element in the half-plane, however, Leo's obsession with the harem has been haunting, and I have no objection. It's just that we both took the approach of giving each other enough freedom of choice, and as a result, we were rejected without exception.

"Maybe it's ......your appearance," Leo resented, "if you change to a human or an elf or something, the effect shouldn't be so bad." ”

"Well," I said indifferently, "you talk about racial equality, but you're the one who discriminates the most." ”

"Hey," Leo smiled, "allowing everyone to have a different aesthetic is also the first part of equality." ”

"I won't be disguised, so I'm afraid it's even more inappropriate to be an animal, right?" I say.

"Forget it, there are not many in the harem," Leo said a crooked reason, "The main thing is that he has personality and strength." ”

"Go back and educate yourself," I said, "and it's a question of whether you can keep Sharon Stone, but she's sure she won't stay long." ”

"Two years is enough." Leo was confident.

Back near the pit, I felt the temperature around me rise a lot before I got close, and the flames and smoke flew into the air, and the scene was spectacular.

When I got closer, I saw that there was already a stack of non-standard cube ingots on the edge of the pit, mainly iron and copper ingots, and a small amount of other metals.

When he saw me, Ricardo reported the specific figures: "At present, 150,000 tons of crude iron and 60,000 tons of blister copper, as well as 30,000 mixed metals, and a small amount of rare earths, are estimated to be about 250,000 tons......

"About one million tons of raw ore, after rough refining, only 250,000 tons, this is simply poor ore......," Leo sighed, "I still think that at least more than 500,000 tons can be refined!" ”

"It's an added bonus," I said, "you see, the Tyrannosaurus rex got a workout, and Sharon Stone understands how the team ......works together."

The Empress of Rock was holding up a piece of ore ingots that had been slowly cooled after rough refining and carrying it to the edge of the pit, it seemed that she liked this thing very much, and she didn't care if her snow-white marble body was dirty and broken, and she was completely unworthy of the name "Empress".

The average Rock Empress, even if she doesn't like to live in groups, will have a few subordinates, but she doesn't seem to like this shelf very much, probably because she has been communicating with Gaia for a long time and is alienated from other earth elemental creatures.

"You're back so soon?" The Empress of the Rocks happily walked over and said, "We're still half way away from it!" ”

"Actually, you don't have to work so hard," I said, "we have enough men to do these things, and everyone has their own things to do, and if they are used in unnecessary places, it is actually a waste." ”

"But the problem is, now I don't have anything else to do, it's a waste!" The Empress of the Rock said, "It's better to move your body than to fight." ”

"Okay!" I had to say, "I hope you'll be happy when we reach our half-plane, because we have so much to do." ”

"I'm looking forward to it too!" The Empress of the Rock said, "Ricardo says that your half-plane has made a lot of things that the main plane does not have, and I would love to go and see it right away!" ”

"You'll see, you might even be a part of it." I say.

At this time, in the smoke and red fire at the bottom of the pit, it was almost impossible to see the figure of the Tyrannosaurus rex, but it could be seen that there was not much ore left.

More than half an hour later, the smelting was over, and about 260,000 tons of ingots were placed on the flat ground at the edge of the pit, and the square bricks more than five meters high covered the area of almost a football field.

After all this, the Tyrannosaurus rex used up most of its energy, however, because it was a slow "cryo" release, it was not too tired, but it also fell asleep on my shoulder.

Finally, we were ready to leave.

The Queen of the Rocks was very excited and looked forward to dressing herself up - only to see that the stones on the surface of her body crumbled into powder and fell, and then "grew" a layer of white and flawless new skin, and her whole body was completely renewed.

I directly opened the scroll back to the farm, and when I returned to the farm, I ran to the Crazy Warehouse in the Houshan Industrial Zone, and teamed up with Ricardo to build a five-meter-high and wide gate.

At the same time, I asked half of the centaurs to come over.

As soon as the portal opened, more than sixty centaurs began to carry the ingots.

Of course, their brute force alone would not work, and I asked Vincent to make twelve hard carts on the fly.

As soon as the Empress of the Rocks arrived, she looked around curiously, and I arranged for Xi Piyu to be her guide, but she did not agree, so she followed us and watched.

Vincent welcomed the new members, and then went back to work overtime, and the centaurs didn't have any superfluous actions - they had worked in the Mage Tower for many years, and they knew many rules, but they also naturally formed a concept that they considered themselves inferior, although now I let them learn to write with money, and they can't change it for the time being.

The more than 200,000 tons alone were enough for them to work for a while, so I arranged things and took the Empress of the Rock to visit the farm plane.

"It's a little small here," I said, "and I myself haven't been to the Lord Plane for a long time. ”

"Why?" The Rock Empress asked.

"This brings us to the Mage Tower to which I belong, Santas...... "I began to explain my own general story.

We talked as we walked, visited the factory under construction, and unconsciously walked to the source of the fire.

"I see......," the Rock Empress nodded sympathetically, "You've been through so much, and the disputes between you Lord Plane races are really complicated, so I'll have to be careful after I go out." ”

"If you go out, you're going to have to make a disguise," I said, "or, hire a human...... Of course, I can provide you with some teleportation scrolls that you should use when you're in danger. ”

"Then I'll thank you in advance." Said the Queen of the Rocks.

"By the way......" I looked at the entrance of the fire source and said, "There are two places on our farm plane that you can't step into at will, one is the fire source here, and the other is the water source, which are both energy sources to ensure the operation of the plane, and we will also build a earth source as your territory, and no one else is allowed to set foot on it." ”

"Huh?" The Rock Empress was a little surprised, "So, am I going to stay in there forever?" ”

"You don't have to," I said, "you just take care of maintaining the energy output, go back every once in a while, and go anywhere else, and when the two years are up, you can get out of here." ”

The Empress of the Rocks was relieved and said, "That's good, I'll go and see somewhere else......"

We circled to the water source and showed her the whale bones, and she was clearly more interested in the phantoms in the sky.

"By the way," I said, "you're interested in the main plane, I can ask Sipiyu to change the phantom of the sky for you at regular intervals, so that you can also see the scenery of the main plane......"

"Really? That's great! The eyes were the Queen's excitement.

"Thank you, it's like tricking a young girl into entering the shipping organization......," Leo said.

"I promised to leave after two years," I said, "you want to leave people forever, you do ......"

"Ahaha, wouldn't it be nice to tell her that the outside world isn't that exciting? When she's tired of the ...... outside," Leo said.

"How long will it take for her to get tired of it?" I said, "She's been on the elemental plane for hundreds of years, and she won't get tired of being on the main plane for a hundred and eighty years, right?" ”

"Who knows?" Leo said.

"Looks like you've got an idea," I said, "Tell me about it." ”

"Secrecy for now." Leo said.

At this time, Xi Piyu suddenly said, "Ricardo, Lena Sur wants to see you. ”
