Chapter XXXVII
"Congratulations to the Captain for officially entering the Horde Stage and receiving the corresponding Inspiration rewards.
"Data restructuring is in progress.
"The captain has been distributed: flax seeds (from the Star Song Civilization) and cultivation manual, please check it out."
Lu Ning noticed that this time the manufacturing station did not have a hint about the manufacturing time, but an additional hint of inspiration.
It seems that this is what was described in the previous route, and after entering the Horde Phase, he will be rewarded with material every time he receives the corresponding inspiration.
Instead of counting by time, as before.
The new way of computing is both good and bad.
The upper limit has become higher, and the lower limit has also become lower.
Lu Ning didn't really care about this change, and his eyes fell on the flax seeds that had been dropped.
Flax, an agricultural crop with a long history and still widely used today, is also the first natural plant fiber discovered and used by humans.
It is versatile and has significant advantages.
And most importantly......
This would solve his problem of catching fish!
Flax fiber is a very useful plant fiber that can be made into fishing line, twisted into hemp rope and woven into a net!
As for this "from the Star Song Civilization"......
According to the ghost, this civilization likes to make some improvements to plant varieties, so it is very compatible with the growth of different environments, and it is suitable for cultivating wasteland on unknown planets.
But because of this, there will probably be a gap between this flax seed and Lu Ning's cognition.
In the animal skin manual, rows of fly-headed small blocks are densely packed and sprinkled with a large article, listing countless possible problems and countermeasures for seeds in the growing environment.
Lu Ning was sleepy.
The next day, Lu Ning opened up a new field dedicated to growing the flax.
The manufacturing station delivered him a package in animal skin, containing a total of 24 seeds.
Lu Ning read the manual, prepared in his heart, and planned to fight a tough battle and fight these flax crops to the end.
But despite this, the process of planting flax made Lu Ning almost break his defense.
For example, watering must be timed and quantitative, not a little more, not a little less, and must be on call 24 hours a day.
The same is true for fertilization.
Each plant must be spaced far enough apart from each other, otherwise they will compete with each other for nutrients.
But not too far away, because in the future crops will need to pollinate and tangle between branches.
This distance also needs to be constantly tested......
And that's just a small part of the beginning.
There are many other things that cannot be said.
And the most outrageous thing is that the manual also requires him to have sufficient "communication" with these plants every day......
Communication!
What a group of plants still need to socialize?!
Lu Ning had to squat in the flax field every day, chatting with each plant one by one, not complaining, not impatient, and saying something happy and happy, preferably to give them sincere praise......
The results were good, of course, and the seeds were pumped at an astonishing rate, growing into seedlings in just five days.
But what is the price to pay for this result......
It's just that not only Lu Ning himself was almost driven crazy, but the whole cake also seems to be a little suspicious of beasts.
It sees Lu Ning getting up before dawn every morning recently, getting dressed and going out. So one day, driven by curiosity, the flatbread also came.
Then I saw a scene that made it quite frightening and incomprehensible:
Lu Ning came to the flax field with a bitter gourd face all the way, and then instantly smiled like changing his face, gave a thumbs up to these plants one by one, and praised with a greasy face:
"You're awesome, you've grown 0.1 centimetre taller again."
As for whether it really grew by 0.1 centimeter...... Of course Lu Ning didn't know, anyway, all these things needed was an atmosphere, Lu Ning was the cheerleader, and it didn't matter what he shouted.
It's okay to talk to these plants about stand-up comedy, maybe the effect is better.
It's a pity that Lu Ning won't.
He watered the flax seedlings after an embarrassing blow, and then yawned and went back to sleep.
Leave the flatbread in place and stare at the flax seedlings.
Flatbread cautiously walked to a seedling and walked around the seedling several times, very incomprehensible to the other party's existence.
What kind of beast is this?
Why does the human boss want to talk to it?
Can it also sell cute?
The flatbread tried to scream a few times, trying to pounce on the other party with its paws.
A breeze blows, and the flax seedlings shake the buds of the leaves and make a cold sound.
The outstretched claws of the flatbread froze.
, was discovered?
……
After that, time flies, the years shuttle, and the days pass without panic.
On the third day, Lu Ning suddenly figured it out.
In order to be compatible with more unknown environments, the Xingge civilization has written an extremely complex instruction manual, striving to ensure the growth of plants as much as possible.
Just like a programmer, when writing code, you must think of all possible operating environments and problems encountered and write corresponding solutions, even if these problems may not be encountered by the user in a lifetime.
For example, it's like he runs a coffee shop, but you have to consider whether the customer will go to the coffee shop to buy pancakes, try on leather shoes, or come to catch a junior.
But he is here now, and the state of the environment is known and certain to him.
For example, it is a customer who enters a coffee shop with the mentality of going to a coffee shop to buy coffee.
And there is no medium-sized large cup and oversized cup, and the cup in the store is only one model.
So why is it so troublesome?
Lu Ning pondered for a moment.
Can you use the knowledge you already have to change the cultivation method of this batch of plants?
After the baptism of two textbooks, "Irrigation and Planting" and "Alchemy", Lu Ning now has a lot of theoretical knowledge about plants.
He just lacks some practice and experience, but he has ideas.
For example, through alchemy, a new fertilizer can be created, which may change the requirements for fertilization of seedlings.
Or by adapting the soil and ditches of the fields through agricultural knowledge, perhaps the frequency of watering can be changed.
As for talking to plants......
Maybe this work can be tossed to the flatbread?
Lu Ning pondered here, completely unaware that the flatbread over there had been suppressed by flax seedlings.
With this in mind, Lu Ning immediately threw himself into the experiment.
……
On the other side, Ye Rang Qin Ke and Chang Jiang had already arrived at a new camp.
Although the detour took a lot of time, the road behind was easier to walk, so their pace was relatively brisk.
Along the way, the duo had already passed by four camps.
Regrettably, all four camps have been killed.
The owners of three of the camps were fine, apparently frozen to death, and the whole body was preserved, and the two buried them properly.
The owner of the last camp was miserable.
He seems to have survived the blizzard, but still died of disease and starvation.
After his death, his body was gnawed by foraging wild monsters, and he was unrecognizable, and he was not human.
In addition, the weather has warmed up, and a large amount of snow has turned into water, soaking the corpses again......
You think, you think about it, you ......
"Vomit ......"
Chang Jiang, an ordinary person who has lived in modern society since he was a child, has seen this, and he almost vomited it on the spot.
However, Ye Rang Qin Ke was not surprised by this.
There are too many people who have died at the mouth of wild monsters while hunting in the tribe.
It's not uncommon to die worse than this.
Although they have a certain amount of force, as well as metal tools and miracle items given by the temple, they are still unable to resist in the face of some large monsters.
That's why he decided to take a detour when he saw the sight of a large monster before.
It is said that there are even wild monsters that can cause even greater disasters...... He hadn't seen it.
If Lu Ning were here, he would most likely classify that kind of large monster into his own set of "monster difficulty difficulty" grading system.
But Ye Rang, Qin Ke and Chang Jiang naturally didn't have that mood.
After seeing the four camps, Chang Jiang felt quite heavy, and at the same time felt extremely lucky that he could survive.
It's simply eight lifetimes of luck that have been saved up and used up together to be able to stand here well.
But the more this was the case, the more curious he became about the "benefactor" in Ye Rang Qin Ke's mouth.
What kind of capable person can help others after such a natural disaster?
Chang Jiang was entangled here, and over there Ye Rang Qin Ke had already walked in front of the new camp.
It is a camp on the edge of the river, on flat terrain and not far from a bush.
Judging from Ye Rang Qinke's experience, the chances of the people here surviving should be greater.
