Chapter XVI Maps and Newspapers

When the system reaches the third level, a production-type building appears, which is the beast camp, which is a place for the production of beasts. One million tons of wood and two million tons of stone are needed, which is a very small amount of resources at present.

The first-level beast camp can also produce two types of troops, namely war horses and cattle. Each horse needed eight tons of grain and two tons of metal, and each ox needed two tons of grain. Corresponding to the Terran troops, the production limit of war horses is one million, and the production limit of cattle is five million.

After the beast camp was built, Zheng Feng called it to start production, and now it has produced 20,000 war horses and 100,000 cattle, which is slower than the current barracks, and the production rate of the beast camp at the first level is also 1,000 per day.

Corresponding to the beast troops, there is also an additional kind of beast pen in the house, each of which requires twenty tons of wood and fifty tons of stone, which is about fifty square meters, and each beast pen can live eight war horses. As for the cows, at the back of the house, there is a long wooden board that can be pulled apart, and this wooden board is supported to form a cowshed.

Since the construction of the beast camp, coupled with the doubling of the output of the barracks, most of the attendants have gone to summon housing, and there are not many remaining attendants responsible for detecting mineral deposits, so since the last two gold and silver mines were mined, no new gold and silver mines have been found in the past few months.

With cattle, Zheng Feng also began to call some people to carry out normal farming. In addition to the 200 square kilometers of high-speed land, the remaining 1,000 square kilometers of sorted land have been reclaimed into arable land this time. A total of 10,000 people with 5,000 cattle became professional farmers from then on.

Speaking of these cows, Zheng Feng also asked the demon butler to cut a piece of beef and try to make a steak, but the result was unexpectedly unpalatable. But this is normal, these cattle need two tons of grain to produce, and their own weight is three hundred kilograms, which can be recycled into 1.5 tons of grain. The strength of such meat can only be regarded as average, and it is about the same as that of ordinary cattle.

However, the strength of these cattle is significantly greater than that of ordinary cattle, and they are also very durable, whether they are plowing the field or transporting stones, they can continue to work for a long time. Then the working ability becomes stronger, and it is normal for the meat to become unpalatable, which can be understood as adding the edible function of the cow to the working ability.

In addition to these cattle that were sent to plough the fields, the rest of the cattle followed the minfu to do the transportation work, which made the minfu collect resources a little faster. At this time, in addition to the 20,000 people who were engaged in farming, there were still nearly 800,000 people who were engaged in the great cause of exploiting resources.

After the third-level heroes all came out, Zheng Feng and all the heroes in the station held a small banquet, on the one hand, to celebrate the birth of new heroes, and on the other hand, to celebrate Zheng Feng's safe first year in this other world. Yes, time flies, and Zheng Feng has been in the other world for a year before he knows it.

There is another commemorative significance on this day of the banquet, and Zheng Feng did not mention it to everyone. That is, this day is also the death day of the original little Keith, and the unlucky little guy suffered bad luck on this day last year. And on the day of his death, only Zheng Feng will come to pay tribute, no one in this world knows that the original little Keith is no longer there, and his identity will continue by Zheng Feng.

In this world, no one knows that the current Zheng Feng is not the original little Keith, including the two famous generals who were sent to search for Keith's relics earlier, they only know that they are looking for lost items. If you want to talk about the insider, it is only the Gu who lives in Zheng Feng's wrist, but how can Gu Gu tell others, so poor little Keith is the only one who will go to pay tribute to him.

After the celebration, the heroes began their own missions, and Zheng Feng began to continue his leisurely life. Every day, I enjoy the flowers, play cards, and use my own simple fishing rod to go fishing. This dull day lasted for another three months, and finally there was a slight change, and this change was that the two lobbyists who had gone out to find out the news returned. The two had been out for more than half a year, and finally returned to the station this winter.

Zheng Feng was very happy to see these two lobbyists come back, earlier, he also needed to command the soldiers to collect the corpses of the monsters, since the famous generals came out, the matter of leading the troops was all handed over to them, Zheng Feng had been idle for a long time.

When the two lobbyists went out, they brought with them some skins of ordinary animals and some crushed ore of gold and silver, which they sold to pay for their travel. Although these things are not too valuable, they are enough for just ordinary travel.

The two lobbyists are back now, and they didn't come back empty-handed, they brought back a lot of things. And among these bits and pieces of travel souvenirs, there are two things that are very important, one is a map of the world, and the other is a few newspapers.

Yes, there are newspapers in this world, which is very unexpected. Although this is just a few pieces of paper, it represents that this world is indeed not simply ancient, such as Zheng Feng's previous life, newspapers are also things that only existed in the industrial age, and there was no such thing in the feudal era.

Newspapers themselves need to have papermaking and printing, which is very common, and ancient people would also use letterpress printing to print books. But books were very rare items in ancient times, because the cultural popularity of that era was very small, and the vast majority of people were illiterate.

And now, since there are newspapers in this world, first of all, the people who know words in this world must account for a certain proportion, otherwise there is no value in publishing newspapers. Then, there is the timeliness of the newspaper, and the content of the newspaper cannot be the content of a long time ago, and if it happens for too long, the degree of attention will be greatly reduced.

This means that there are methods in this world that can quickly transmit information, and Zheng Feng immediately thought of magic. Although this world does not have a scientific and technological civilization similar to the earth, there is a very highly developed magical civilization, which Gu Gu has already told Zheng Feng.

Looking at the newspaper in his hand, Zheng Feng thought to himself, it seems that the war in this world really can't be fought casually, the news is transmitted so quickly, once it attracts attention, maybe there will be some trouble.

And this newspaper only costs 20 yuan, although it is still a bit expensive compared to the newspaper in Zheng Feng's previous life, but in this era, it should be considered very cheap. The hard currency of this world is also gold and silver, one tael of gold is equal to fifty taels of silver, and one tael of silver can be exchanged for eight hundred cents.

In this world, when it is not a disaster year, the average rice is about four yuan a catty, and ordinary meat is about twenty yuan a catty. In other words, a newspaper is the price of a pound of meat, and people with a slightly better life can afford it.

After staring at the newspaper for a while, Zheng Feng took the maps that were brought back by the lobbyists. Although these are just ordinary civilian maps, they are still very useful for Zheng Feng now, at least he finally knows his position in this world now.

This world is a little larger than the earth in Zheng Feng's previous life, the total area of the sphere is about twice that of the earth, the total area of the land accounts for thirty percent of the sphere, and the rest is the ocean.

These land areas are mainly four continents, one is relatively large, three are relatively small, and Zheng Feng's current location is in the southeast corner of this relatively large continent. Across the sea, further east is another continent. To the west of this continent, there is also a continent, and these three continents are where all kinds of creatures live. In the northern part of the map, there is still a remaining continent, but this continent is completely in a state of ice field, just like the Antarctic continent in Zheng Feng's previous life, and it is estimated that not many creatures will live there.

Although the total area of this world is larger than that of the earth, this world is also 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. In other words, the rotation speed of this world is faster than that of the earth, so it has the same rotation period. But the gravitational pull of this world is a little greater than that of the earth, which just cancels out the high centrifugal force.

In this way, living in this world, the gravity and atmospheric pressure that people can feel are basically the same as those of the earth. However, if you want to leave the surface of this planet, you need a greater First Cosmic Speed than Earth.

To put it mildly, there is only one leap day every five years in this world. In other words, the orbital period of this world is a little shorter than that of the earth. The world's calendar is different in different countries, but there is also a common calendar of the world that can be used as a reference. It's just that the first day of the first month of this common reference calendar is the fourth day of February of the calendar used by Zheng Feng, that is, the day of the beginning of spring.

Like the earth, most parts of this world are places that are not suitable for human life, however, unlike the earth, these places that are not suitable for human life are inhabited by various magical beasts. Therefore, in this world, those lands that are not suitable for human existence generally do not belong to the territory of those human countries, unlike on the earth, no matter whether a place is inhabited or not, it must be included in the territory of a certain country.
