Chapter Seventy-Two: The Silkworm Moth in the Dragon-Multi-tailed Nylon

"Smack!"

"Lord Chief, why are all the dragon knights recruited this time men? It's not fair!" Maggie said menacingly, pressing her hand on the wooden table, and then said to Green, who was bending over to write.

Obviously, when she was recruited, she said that there were no restrictions on men and women, but all the people who were selected were men, which had to make her a little angry.

"Uh..."Green raised his head a little speechlessly, and his eyes were a white flower's chest, he hurriedly tilted his head to the side, rubbed his forehead and said, "Now there are a lot of giant stone dragons on Tequila Island to help with production and transportation, and these jobs are not very suitable for girls." If you want to work with rocks and mud all day long, I can grant you permission to join the first batch of students. ”

Not only does Maggie like to break the casserole to ask questions, but she never cares about the difference between men and women, and she always comes over every day to pester, which makes him always interrupted from time to time when he is concentrating on drawing.

Could it be that he is usually too dignified? Green couldn't help but touch his chin, and he has only developed so well at the age of thirteen or fourteen, is it possible that people in this world are very precocious?

Hearing that she had to deal with stones and mud, Maggie's expression was slightly hesitant, but she quickly straightened her face and complained, "Lord Chief, you want to perfunctory me again! In addition to the boulder dragon, there must be some other dragons on Dragon Tongue Island, does this also have to be a man? What do you say that women can hold up half the sky, who said that women are not as good as men, I see that what you said is false!

“......”

With a wry smile, Green rolled up the half-drawn blueprint of the Newcomen steam engine on the table, and then said helplessly, "Alright, alright! I promise that as long as you meet the right dragon, you will be given priority to domestication." ”

"Sister Mary!"

Just as Green was having a headache about how to get this girl to leave as soon as possible, Mary walked in from outside, and Maggie, who was still quite unreasonable, immediately restrained a lot, and she could feel that this new beautiful sister had an aura that made people involuntarily awe.

Mary nodded to Maggie first, then took out a piece of paper and put it in front of Green, and said seriously, "Our food is already beyond our means, and if we can't think of a way to replenish it as soon as possible, we will only be hungry in two days." ”

Since the pirates plundered the food and livestock of Tequila Island, when the original inhabitants returned, they had to rely on fishing and hunting to make a living. However, nets made of hemp rope and wool are not only perishable, but also have poor toughness, and must be stopped every two days to dry and repair the damaged areas, so that there is not much food to be obtained every day.

"Didn't the cattle, sheep, and poultry that I bought from other tribes two days ago be delivered? Why is there not enough food?" asked Green, who looked at the paper for a while, with some confusion.

Lately he had left all these things to Mary, and he had been a lazy shopkeeper, so he didn't know much about the specific situation.

"These livestock and poultry are used for breeding, and of course they are not counted as food. And a lot of workers have been recruited recently, and we need to provide food. I don't think it's better to revert the three-meal system to the original two-meal system, and then hurry up and weave more fishing nets......"

"It can't be like this!" Green thought as he stood up, frowning, "if they don't have enough to eat, they won't do their job well?" ”

"Green... Hey, Mary and Maggie are there too!"

Sam walked in with a look of excitement, "The twenty students are also here today, is our Dragon Knight Academy about to officially open?"

"Just hand them over to Jaime! let them help with the construction team first, and then we'll start in earnest. ”

Hearing Green's words, Sam was slightly stunned, but the interest on his face was still undiminished, and he walked over and suppressed his voice and said, "Green, we have observed the weakness of that 'multi-tailed nylon'. ”

"Really?" asked Green, with a smile on his face.

Ever since he and Douglas had fled from the forest that day, he had been thinking about this beautiful dragon, for he had found something very interesting in the transparent filaments he had brought back.

The filaments secreted by this dragon are not only very strong, but also extremely elastic and very wear-resistant. Although it is a little afraid of fire, it does not hide these rare advantages.

This made Green think of "nylon", a synthetic fiber widely used on the earth. When he asked Nebel to make sure that there was no such dragon in the Book of Dragons, he immediately decided to name it "Multi-tailed Nylon".

According to the various uses of nylon, it can be associated, and the prospects of this nylon filament are definitely very broad.

Not only can they be used to weave ropes, cloth, fishing nets, but also to make clothes, backpacks, carpets, cloaks, etc., and they can also be used to create a parachute, something that Green has always wanted to make but couldn't find the right material.

It's just that as a newly discovered dragon, the method of taming multi-tailed nylon still needs to be explored, so Sam has been secretly observing the living habits of this dragon with Neber for the past few days, and then looking for their weaknesses and ways to tame.

"Let's go now?" Greene couldn't help but say.

As long as this multi-tailed nylon is tamed as soon as possible and nylon silk is obtained, the food crisis on Tequila Island will be solved immediately, and the combination of flying dragon + trawl can definitely make earth-shaking changes in the fishing efficiency of the past three days of fishing and two days of drying nets.

"Hehe, not yet. Sam smiled mysteriously and said, "We'll have to wait until the evening to act." ”

****

As the dusk sun gradually sank into the sea, and night began to fall, Green quietly poked his head out of the hidden dense forest, he looked at several bean-sized points of light in an iron cage not far away, and said with some uncertainty, "Is this really possible?"

"Hehe, Xiaolinzi, you can rest assured! There is no problem at all, do you know why those multi-tailed nylons attacked you so fiercely as they were afraid of death?"

"Isn't it because we broke into their spawning grounds?"

"That's just part of the reason. Nebo said mysteriously.

"The eyes of multi-tailed nylon are not easy to use, when flying at night, they need to rely on the kind of antennae on their heads that can sense light to determine the direction, and where there is light, they can also hunt more insects for food, so over the long evolution, the burning fire has become something that they yearn for and fear in their lives. It is only at the last moment of their lives that they will throw themselves into the fire and fulfill their long-cherished wish for many years, and that is also the reason why they have gone out of their way to stop you. ”

"If there was a light source that would allow them to get close to them but not hurt them, they would definitely be ecstatic to approach there. ”
