Chapter 1069: Molting
Fengyun decided to move the colony and send them to the next valley to settle down, and he did so, but instead of moving all the honey, he left some behind. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The reason why Fengyun left some bees behind is also very simple, he found that using the cold spring water of Shuang Leng to grow various crops, whether it is rainbow rice or ugly fruit, as long as it is pollinated by bees, there will be a good harvest.
Previously, pollinating crops was basically artificial, using the power of the totem, driving the air, blowing pollen off the flowers, and then restricting their area of activity, allowing them to move within the range of the crop, for a period of time, even if the pollination was completed.
The effect of this is not bad, and they have not thought about changing it.
This time, the situation changed, because at first, Fengyun did not decide to move the bees, mainly because he was worried that they would be disturbed by moving them as soon as they were attracted by the queen bee, and he was especially afraid that they would have a stress reaction.
Fengyun decided to wait a while, but during this time, the cultivation of the water from the Shuangcold Spring has not stopped.
It's in the bee's nature to collect pollen, so when they spot the crops planted near the twin cold springs blooming, they fly over to collect pollen.
The warriors of the Huojiao tribe naturally discovered this situation, and they wanted to drive them away for a while, but they were stopped by Fengyun.
He intervened to stop it, not because he thought that the crops would be better after being pollinated by the bees, but because he wanted to harvest better nectar.
Fengyun knows very well that the quality of the pollen collected by bees has a direct impact on the quality of the final nectar.
The crops planted on the edge of the man-made twin cold springs are not ordinary crops, the quality of their pollen is absolutely unknown, and the nectar made from them may have special functions.
The result was a surprise to Fengyun, after bee pollination, not only the final harvest was higher than that of artificial pollination, but also the quality was much better.
After assessing, the output has increased by at least 30%.
Thirty percent is already a considerable proportion, plus the improvement of quality, it is conservatively estimated that compared with artificial pollination and bee pollination, the value of the latter is about fifty percent higher than that of the former.
In addition, Fengyun's original purpose of allowing bees to pollinate crops has also been achieved, and it has indeed produced very good quality honey.
Compared to the previous honey, not only does it taste better, but it also has additional value, medicinal value.
Eating these bees, take rainbow rice as an example, the effect that can be achieved is not even worse than the effect of eating rainbow rice directly.
With such good results, it was immediately decided that after that, whenever possible, bees would be used to pollinate the crops.
The so-called conditions permitting mainly refer to the fact that in the case of the low level of operation of the double cold springs, if it is like planting snake scale grass, it is necessary to promote the growth of the double cold springs to the limit, not to mention using bees to pollinate them, even if they are left in the valley.
However, according to Fengyun's experience, as long as the bees are domesticated, there is no big problem in relocating them in the whole box, otherwise before the crossing, the mobile bees he saw would not be able to move their positions as the flowers bloomed.
Fortunately, there was something to do, and Fengyun's attention was diverted, otherwise the time of waiting for the White Snake to come back would have been difficult, because it had been away for quite a long time this time, even reaching a month.
But it can come back, and Fengyun is already satisfied.
When the White Snake returned, Fengyun found that it had grown larger, its body had grown by a full third, and its scales had become denser and more textured.
The White Snake also explained to Fengyun the reason why it left, that it had gone to molt.
It had also thought about staying in the valley to transform, but it couldn't break the old skin that was about to fade, so it had to leave.
Hearing it say this, Fengyun also remembered a situation that the warriors had told him. Before the White Snake left, it did act more agitated, and even made a lot of noise by hitting its head and slapping the rock wall with its tail.
Now that I think about it, the White Snake's move should be to break the skin that is about to be peeled off.
As for why it had been away for so long this time, White Snake also explained.
I don't know why this transformation is so difficult, just shedding the old skin of the whole body is good for several days, making it very tired.
After the molting was completed, it fell into a stupor, and when it woke up, it was worried that everyone would worry about it, so it came back immediately, but it was not expected that so much time had passed.
Fengyun didn't blame the White Snake, but just asked it to make similar moves in the future, and to talk to everyone first.
The White Snake agreed, and assured Fengyun that even if it molted next time, it would not leave, because it had already found something that could break through the old skin.
In order to prove that what he said was true, the white snake opened its mouth and spat out something.
Fengyun immediately looked at what the white snake spit out, and found that it was pointed and thick, like an awl.
Looking closer, Fengyun thought it should be some kind of animal's teeth.
Fengyun took a keen interest in it, because with what he knew about the White Snake, he knew how strong its scaly skin was, even if he used the sword he had obtained, he might not be able to cut it.
The tooth of this unknown creature can help the white snake break through the outer skin, even if the strength of the outer skin to be removed will be reduced, but it will definitely not be too bad, otherwise the white snake will not choose to leave.
Fengyun picked it up, as if he was carrying a large sword, the length was longer than his waist, the tip was down, and he measured it, and it was almost up to his chin.
After Fengyun picked it up, he didn't let its tip touch the ground, it was too sharp, and if he let its tip touch the ground, it would get into it on its own without his exertion.
Of course, this is due to its heavy weight, and when held in his hand, Fengyun feels very heavy, almost reaching the weight of the same volume of gold.
Even so, if you can pierce and sink into the hard rock you touch, you can't do it without enough sharpness.
Fengyun took it to cut things, whether it was stone or whatever, everything it touched was like papier-mâché, and it didn't take much effort on his part to cut them apart easily.
Fengyun became more interested in it, and asked the White Snake where it was found. If there is any excess, he also imagines one.
Its appearance is very regular, straight, there is not much difference between left and right, it is almost symmetrical, and with a little processing, it can be turned into a killing weapon.
