Chapter Eighty-Three: Nether Traffic
The growth frequency of bamboo is very high, basically one bamboo can grow from one bamboo to dozens of very high bamboo in one or two days.
It doesn't matter where these bamboos are planted, they can grow anyway, as long as there is soil under their feet and water around them, they will grow very tall.
And he will also spread bamboo shoots, wherever he can grow.
But Fang Yuan is not mainly for these bamboos, although it is important to make scaffolding, but in the jungle biome, in addition to being able to make scaffolding, bamboo has one more thing - pandas!
That's right, in the Bamboo Forest of the Jungle biome, there's a chance to spawn a brand new animal, Roll!
Although this animal, like most other animals, is not very helpful to the development of the MC world, but Fang Yuan is a pure Chinese, how can he not have an obsession with this animal?
He once searched for seven or eight jungle biomes, and when he finally caught a panda, the feeling was beyond words!
Fang Yuan directly started laying the platform here, in addition to planting bamboo, the cocoa beans they gave before could actually be planted in the jungle biome, because of the merchants, there was no shortage of saplings on this empty island, whether it was a jungle sapling or a Jin Hehuan sapling, there were reserves.
And cocoa beans are a plant that must grow on jungle saplings, it will absorb the nutrients of jungle saplings, so as to grow slowly, in some modules, cocoa beans are the raw materials for making coffee, of course, he doesn't have these mods now, so now the biggest use of cocoa beans is actually to make cookies, it doesn't seem to be impossible?
Fang Yuan just planted cocoa beans in the spirit of an MC player, after all, all the materials needed to be reserved, and it would be very painful if he had to start planting again when he needed it for the second time.
As we all know, every MC player is a hamster, not only the nature of a hamster but also the inside of a hamster, and will hoard all useful and useless things.
So he didn't plant much, he just placed seven or eight four-meter-high jungle stakes, each spaced two squares apart in a row, and then dropped the first cocoa bean on the far left.
In the future, when these cocoa beans are ripe, they can be directly knocked out and turned into new seeds, and then planted again, until these 8 32 jungle trees, a total of 128 sides, are almost full.
If it matures at one time, it will be able to harvest about 512 seeds, leaving 128 seeds to use, and the materials that can be used to make cookies at a time will be 384, which is still calculated by the most basic calculation.
Cocoa beans are not plants that grow on the ground, so they can't put bone meal like other plants, but bamboo can, so Fang Yuan doesn't need to wait for the bamboo to grow, but can directly release the bone meal very simply, so that the bamboo grows in this instant.
Unlike sugar cane, which can only grow 4 blocks tall, these bamboos quickly rose from the ground and became dozens of blocks tall under the influence of bone meal.
He only needed to lightly plane underneath, and the bamboo, which was originally quite tall, suddenly scattered from the air, turned into dozens of bamboo cubes and fell to the ground, and he planted them all in place, and then continued to sprinkle bone meal.
Fortunately, the bone meal that fell was not worth anything at all, no matter which monster farming tower it was, the bones were piled up into a mountain, and after all the four groups of bones brought by Fang Yuan were consumed, he also harvested seven or eight groups of bamboo and a bamboo forest planted all over the ground.
"When I make buildings in the future, I finally don't have to worry about falling down!" Fang Yuan sighed with emotion, and then he was going to make the cactus that was planted automatically, as well as the sugarcane machine that was automatically planted and collected.
But to make these automatic machines, he needs redstone, and redstone is far away, and he has to run to the Witch Tower, and it takes an hour to go back and forth to the Witch Tower, and he has a headache and doesn't want to run.
"Shhh...... Let's do nether traffic first! Fang Yuan shook his head, everything was inseparable from traffic and action, and the ice cube collection system he had made before was suddenly useful.
Of course, this is not enough, he needs a huge amount of ice, such an ice collection system, giving so many thousands of ice cubes every time is like a joke, so he called the person in charge of the area, and asked those who have nothing to do or whose work is not very important for the time being, all run to collect ice cubes for him.
The way to collect ice cubes is very simple, as mentioned before, in a cold area, after all the ground is filled with infinite water, as soon as the water starts to freeze, the other areas will freeze one after another.
The infinite water will be transformed into ice floe after floe, all of which can be collected with precision tools and turned into vehicles for future transportation in the Nether.
If it was just like that, the ice cubes they collected would be enough, but Fang Yuan wasn't going to use ordinary ice cubes, he wanted to use blue ice.
Blue ice is a variant of ice cubes that spawn directly in some areas during the Overworld, but this is not the Overworld, so it can be troublesome.
Keep in mind that normal ice can easily turn into water next to flames, while ice floes are a bit better, but in previous versions, ice floes could not be automatically generated, until version 1.13 onwards, 9 pieces of ice could be used to craft an ice floe.
Blue ice, on the other hand, needs to be synthesized with 9 ice floes, which means that looking at the 5,000 ice cubes in the warehouse, there are actually less than 70 blue ice left after being made into hell traffic, which is naturally far from enough for those who have shortened it by 8 times and traveled hundreds of kilometers.
This requires the collective efforts of a large number of people, who need to place an extremely high amount of infinite water at a certain height in the mountain or ice field terrain, and then use it to harvest ice.
In the past, it was necessary to place a block of water, even if it was a whole surface, all the corners needed to be laid out to be able to slowly take shape, but now it is not needed!
With kelp, they just need to make a huge pool, then simply spread a layer of water on top of the pool to let the water flow down the center of the pool, and then spread a layer of kelp at the bottom of the pool and wait for the kelp to grow.
When the kelp grows up, it will turn all the flowing water in the entire pool into infinite water source blocks, which will continue to condense into ice cubes in the surrounding environment, and the ice cubes will be constantly dug up by the people next to them.
After making a simple but fairly convenient cycle, they stopped and went to make another pool, and each block of water in these pools would turn into ice cubes, which would become Fang Yuan's materials for building this empty island in the future.
After instructing these people to start hoarding ice, Fang Yuan came to the Nether Realm and began to do the first part of the Nether Realm Traffic, which was the foundation of the Blue Ice Passage, a long corridor!
First of all, let's explain what Nether traffic means, which means that you need to go from one place to another through the Nether transportation system.
It is because the Nether and the Overworld, although they are both infinitely huge worlds, the Overworld is 8 times larger than the Nether, so if you step out of the Nether by one block, you will be equal to stepping out of the Overworld by 8 blocks.
This is the basis for making nether traffic, and if you don't like moving slowly in the Overworld, you can move through the Nether and connect them through portals to save you time moving between two areas.
Fang Yuan slowly laid this passage, in the future, this passage will not only be a short section, it will involve the entire Nether, it will be a special reference for the connecting space of all the main world, as well as the connecting space of the Nether.
Of course, he only needs to make such a bottom reference, after all the blue ice in the future is made, this passage will be completely sealed, and made into a special area that cannot farm monsters, as for whether the outside world will refresh monsters, it is not their concern.
This fully enclosed passage will become the main transportation route for goods in the future, and if there is no special passage on this road, a track will be erected next to it to transport villagers who can be loaded into minecarts.
Fang Yuan first made a path in the Nether that could probably see the Hell Gate in the distance, and then rearranged a Hell Gate in the Nether, this 8 times distance didn't seem like much, but this was just the Hell Gate built in the field of vision, and it was already close to the Guardian Farm it had built in the farthest place!
You must know that he only ran this road for a few minutes, and the other road took an hour, which is not unpleasant.
Originally, there was still some leg pain, but he came all of a sudden, and continued to build the power of hell transportation, he didn't even need to do the ice barrier first, anyway, that passage was mainly for the transportation of materials in the future, as for people, in this 8:1 world space, it should be enough to simply transport it by rails.
With such a path to cheer him up, he was immediately full of strength and began to continue building the next path, whether it was the slime's monster farming area, the witch tower from different regions, or the jungle wood planting area farther away, all of which had been simply connected by him with a portal.

Roads that seem distant and out of reach in the upper realm, and areas that even require an hour or two of running, can be seen from a high place at a glance.
This area seems to be quite harmonious, with long roads and several portals standing in different areas, corresponding to those areas of the Overworld, which can make the connection between these areas closer and stronger.
Fang Yuan even did a simple test, put a box minecart here, and then transport it to the Overworld, the other party can easily and directly reach the collection area, and spread through the Nether, this mode of transportation is at least several times less time than when they use people in the Overworld.
Even if the characters were to transport people in this way, rather than minecarts, it would greatly reduce the time, not to mention that in the future they wouldn't even need to turn it into a populated area, the entire Nether could be a fully automated no-man's land.
For example, the Hoglins can shoot out all the cooked pork chops stored in the box through the dropper, and then directly through the almost frictional properties of Blue Ice, these objects can be transported to the corresponding area, directly through the portal, and directly in the water flow channel to the upper realm, all the way to the warehouse.
This is probably the easiest and most convenient way to transport, and it can be purely fully automatic, without the need for any other material support.
Fang Yuan thought very well, but the materials needed for this project were still quite terrifying and exaggerated, and he had to continue to accumulate the amount of materials, but first of all, he could make the track project on the basis of this passage, at least make a simple train station in these areas with portals.
This train station is fairly simple, just use a wooden sign to name the area, and then make two rails here, one as a transmitter rail, with a switch that can be snapped at will, and the other as a receiving rail, without any switches, but with a chest that can be used to hold a minecart.
The chest is connected to a dispenser, and whenever someone stands on it, the dispenser launches a minecart and activates a switch on the side, sending the person directly to their destination.
On the other side, of course, the same is true, after taking the railroad track to the end, you will immediately pass through the portal to the platform of the Overworld, and be forcibly stopped by the block on the side.
Once he has a cactus, he can place a cactus next to it and let the minecart be pierced and fall into the hopper below.
Such a simple traffic cycle is made, and they can complete the passage in this cycle safely and securely.
He ran to the ice-making machine again to take a look, and the men had indeed worked hard, and after a layer of water had covered it, the ice on it immediately froze.
After this layer of ice was excavated, the ice cubes below were successfully prepared again, and they soaked in water for almost many years, as if they could not feel the temperature of the ice water, digging layer after layer of ice.
This efficiency is also quite gratifying, the two of them specially collected ice cubes there, and according to Fang Yuan's instructions, they directly synthesized ice floes.
Originally, he wanted to synthesize blue ice directly, but after seeing the production efficiency of the ice cubes, he found that if he really wanted to synthesize blue ice, he wouldn't have to do anything for the next period of time.
He called all the tool people he knew to come and work, and asked them to come and dig up ice, and then synthesize blue ice, maybe they could meet all his needs in half a month, which took too much time.
The biggest need now is to prepare for the next battle to the Terminator world, which is the first need, and the others can be a little later.
But that doesn't mean he has nothing to do right now, and even if the proposed hell traffic is done, things are just beginning.
Remember the Something Out of Nothing mod he got earlier? Things in the world of Terminator are not yet clear, and the group of people in the world of legends are still struggling to survive, and even these people in the Marvel universe are not stupid waiting there.
They are also seeking their own relationships everywhere, making all kinds of preparations, and constantly fighting for future crises.
Fang Yuan also needed to take precautions and prepare more materials.
Now is the time for him to take advantage of this mod!
