Chapter 24: Defeat the Beetle
Since the eggs had not yet hatched, the beetle monsters needed to stay behind, and only more than 60 beetle monsters were left, and less than 10 remained. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
This time, Lin Xiao didn't stop the beetle monster from leaving, he wanted to intercept it, but he needed to pay a big price.
But that doesn't mean he won't do anything, and when all the beetles pass through the insect star, Lin Xiao directly sent heavy troops to guard it, and placed the city guarding crossbow that had just been made there.
The size of the spatial rift is limited, and it can only accommodate 1 beetle to pass through, so it is still easy to defend with such a lineup.
Plugging the cracks in the space, he didn't plan to let go of the beetle's lair, and directly sent troops to attack.
This time, he didn't give the beetle a chance, and dug a lot of traps from the beetle's lair.
The effect of the horse pit last time was good, but he didn't pay too much attention to it, and after learning this lesson, he spared no effort to dig vigorously.
Luring the beetle out first, the catapult takes the lead in attacking, stuning the two beetlemen.
The traps on the road caused a lot of trouble for the remaining beetles, whose bodies were already large, and they still had to be hit no matter how careful they were.
Even if they don't get hurt, it greatly affects their speed, and during this time, the shortbowmen have released several showers of arrows.
The Crossbowman reloads slowly, but fires two waves, killing 3 Beetlemonsters.
In the end, there were only 4 beetles that were able to rush over, and they suffered a lot of injuries.
The sword and shield soldiers and pikemen, who had been waiting for a long time, all rushed forward, and slaughtered the remaining four beetles while injuring a dozen people.
After solving the beetle monster, Lin Xiaocai entered the beetle's lair, and did not see the small mound of dirt like the ant monster inside.
This made him a little strange, and according to his guess, the beetles were hatching.
After his search was fruitless, he directly opened God's perspective and instantly discovered the location of the beetle's eggs.
It turns out that the beetle monster buried its eggs in the ground, so it's no wonder that it can't be found.
Someone was sent to dig up the eggs of the beetle monster, and after counting, there were more than 2,000 in total, which was only one circle larger than the eggs of the ant monster, and the number made Lin Xiao a little disappointed.
When he took it and converted it into energy points, the disappointment in his mood was suddenly swept away.
The energy of 1 beetle monster egg actually has 20 points, and more than 2,000 pieces is 40,000 points of energy, which is 30,000 more than last time!
There is also a bit of a fly in the ointment, nearly 50 of which have just hatched, and the larvae are wandering around.
Lin Xiao could see that these larvae had the imprint of this planet on their bodies, and they were also very close to him.
But for the soldiers and workers, that is the enemy, and from time to time they attack.
Lin Xiao didn't have any intimacy with this kind of insect that was very fierce when he was born, but he also had the idea of taming.
However, after discovering that they wanted to eat meat, they attacked their own soldiers, and they could only guide themselves, not give orders, and this thought disappeared.
Maybe a long time of domestication can tame this kind of insect, but Lin Xiao doesn't have the time or the material resources.
Although the beetle monster was powerful, it was not enough for him to give up the clone, and the beetle monster could not do it just by obeying orders.
These beetle monsters, Lin Xiao did not release them, this planet did not have anything to eat them, and directly ordered all of them to be killed and converted into energy points.
As he guessed, the eggs contain high energy, but the larvae contain very low energy, the same as the adult worm.
After dealing with the beetle monster larvae, the soldiers on the other side of the spatial rift came with the news that the beetle monster that had gone to forage for food had returned.
Lin Xiao didn't stay, and hurriedly went to check the situation.
The situation on the scene was fairly stable, and as it could only pass through a beetle, it was besieged by the soldiers as soon as it emerged.
The effect of the crossbow is outstanding, one arrow directly into the beetle's body, cut its internal organs, and if you are lucky, you can kill a beetle monster with two arrows.
At the same time, after Chocolate attacked the beetle monster several times to no avail, he finally discovered that the beetle's weakness was the gap in their carapace, and attacking there could easily inflict huge damage on it.
Knowing that it is weak, melee soldiers are much more relaxed against the beetle.
However, during this time, there was also an accident, when a large beetle monster was attacked and fled back with a badly injured body.
Then the beetle stopped sending them to death, but only for a while, the beetle monster still couldn't hold on, and their eggs were here.
After a period of time, the beetle monster suffered heavy casualties, and the number was less than 20, and then it stopped sending them to death again.
Lin Xiao did not take it lightly, ordered the soldiers to be stationed here, and by the way, gave the order to build a barracks nearby.
DirectionLeaving here, he returned to the colonial warship and began to clone workers, who are currently the primary productive force of construction, and most of the things need to rely on workers.
After this enrichment, he also waved his hand and issued an order to clone 2,000 workers, and it took 3 days to use up 10,000 energy points.
The wait was worth it, the addition of 2,000 workers greatly shortened the world of town construction, and the four walls could be completed in just another month.
The farmland has also increased from 500 to 3,000 acres, and the number of clones is only more than 3,000, so there is no need for so much food.
But Lin Xiao currently wants to make wine and distill alcohol, and he must produce more grain, and when he was genetically recombined, he learned that red fruits are afraid of cold and cannot be planted in winter.
The current season should be the end of spring, and it is also essential to stock up on grain, knowing that the population of the town will only increase, and the more food the better.
In fact......
This has nothing to do with the population, because Lin Xiao found that the red fruit was also ground into flour, so he gave this order.
Flour grinding needs to rely on grinding discs, but you can't always ask someone to grind it, which is very labor-intensive, and in ancient times, livestock were used to grind.
Lin Xiao didn't have livestock, but he could still use the windmill mill and waterwheel mill.
At present, no river has been found, and the only source of the river is still the insect star, which is not strong enough and dangerous, so I can only give up.
The windmill became Lin Xiao's choice, and the wind in Xiaozhou often winded, and the wind was not very strong, nor was it very bad, and it was also suitable for building a windmill.
At Lin Xiao's request, the windmill was built quickly, and after a month, several large windmills were built.
The bakery was built, and Lin Xiao originally wanted to build a noodle house, but the workers couldn't make noodles, and it just so happened that he couldn't either.
He didn't give up trying to make noodles, but found that he could only rub out one by one, like noodles with tumors, and there was no salt, so he vomited directly after cooking and ate them, and finally had to put them on hold.
The bread made by the workers was not very good, like the coarse white bread of antiquity, which was hard.
Some of the white bread was as hard as a piece of wood, and it was not an exaggeration to use it as a weapon.
The reason for this phenomenon is that these workers have not fermented......
Lin Xiao had a black line and directly taught the workers how to ferment with koji, but they still often made mistakes, and there were not many breads baked perfectly.
Even if it is not baked, this fermented white bread tastes much better than the unfermented bread, and there is not much koji, and this bread is still relatively rare.
Lin Xiao didn't force the workers to bake the best bread at the moment, and it was enough to bake enough bread for himself every day.
These hard white breads and semi-soft white bread were sold directly in the store, and the demand was in short supply for a while.
