The attempt was quite simple and crude, and the four advanced witch doctors decided to take the cave wolves a little further south to test the reaction of the two higher salamander species to such actions.

If it is on alert, it may prove the existence of a 'territorial identity'.

And by constantly changing the distance, by observing the tolerance of the higher salamanders in the process, we can explore the possible conflict tipping points between them.

Of course, the premise of this plan is the movement of the cave wolf;

But at the same time, it is impossible to really release the Cave Wolf and let the guy go forward and backward on his own, and the Cave Wolf must be guaranteed to be imprisoned at all times during this time.

It's not a guy who can be obedient and obedient, the reason why it's so 'well-behaved' now is purely because of the mother tree's ability to be imprisoned, and the accumulation of quantity has produced qualitative changes, so that it is unable to break free, and even unable to wake up on its own.

And this kind of imprison method is actually far beyond the level of the witch doctors' own combat power.

Therefore, once the cave wolf is released, it is difficult to guarantee that it will be imprisoned again, and there are too many possible variables to worry about.

Having said that, there are many inconveniences in moving the mother tree to ensure that it is always in prison.

First, the various embryos in the mother tree will interrupt some of the nutrient supply;

Among them, the demonic beasts that are being cultivated are not enough, and the loss is also lost, except that it will make the trolls feel distressed, it is not a big deal;

However, if there is any loss of the thousand elven embryos that are being conceived, it will really be beyond regret.

second, combat risk;

There will be a battle with the volcanic salamanders, and if the mother tree is on the battlefield in person, not only the monsters and elf embryos may be affected by the battle;

The laboratories in the mother tree, the remains of the Heroic Spirits, various spells and scientific data, government encrypted documents and historical files, germ cells and somatic cell dormancy rooms in the backbone, and dormancy warehouses and other supporting facilities may all be covered by the flames of war.

These things are second only to the 'human' population as important a treasure to the Republic, and no troll would want to see a loss in this regard.

third, the difficulty of operation;

By now, the mother tree had actually become a veritable behemoth, and it would be a super-complex project for the witch doctors to move it south, not to mention pulling out the massive root system that spread into the ground.

In addition, because I didn't think about moving it again when I planned it, I didn't hesitate to build a series of new city buildings such as the memorial square, the college area, the government area, and the residential area around the mother tree.

At the current size of the mother tree, if it were to be moved out of the city, it would inevitably cause great damage to the newly built urban area.

Considering these three difficulties, there must be a suitable alternative in order to truly carry out the witch doctors' tentative plans.

There are several solutions to this, but most of them have to make trade-offs in terms of time, destruction of urban areas, loss of resources, etc....

First, there are only three years left in the cultivation period of this group of elves, and they can wait for this time to pass before starting to act;

Second, the elves are actually developed enough to be born as 'young children' rather than 'teenagers', and they can be forcibly born before acting;

Wait a minute....

The first one takes too long, and the second one has too many uncertainties..... None of them reduced the risk to the rest of the mother tree and the massive destruction that would occur in urban areas, so most of them were denied.

In this way, the only feasible solution has emerged.....

That is, to recreate a single-function cage, extract enough fluid medium for the cave wolf to be used in the short term, retain it in the mother tree, and transfer it to this temporary 'new home', so as to achieve the purpose.

After the plan was finalized, more detailed planning began.....

Because the witch doctors, even the four advanced ones such as Nesta, are actually quite a large, if not endless, gap between them and high-level magical beasts such as the Cave Wolf in terms of individual strength;

In the face of such high-level magical beasts, they rely more on tactical means derived from wisdom and achieved through the diversity of spells.

Now, the witch doctors do have far more tools than they did against the cave wolves;

However, how to transform all these tools into the ability to play a real role in action requires a breakthrough in their application.

Therefore, the 'external force' factor in this is particularly important.

For example, the stronger the cage itself, the less difficult it is to catch higher salamanders in the future.

So when planning for this, the witch doctors added many, many ideas.....

First, the witch doctors intend to give it the ability to move itself;

Second, the witch doctors intend to maximize their strength;

Third, the cage needs to be highly fire-resistant;

Fourth, the volume and weight should be limited to a reasonable range;

Fifth, higher energy efficiency;

Sixth, the agility attribute that breaks through the limitations of plants;

Seventh, it has the ability to produce high-efficiency diastatic toxins;

and the eighth, ninth, and tenth.....

This is undoubtedly a rather 'arrogant' idea, and its significance is not only limited to the captivity and movement of cave wolves, but also the pursuit of combat adaptability and captivity when dealing with higher volcanic salamanders in the future.

Some of these conditions can be achieved by the existing technologies of the Ministry, such as 'stabilizing toxin production', 'giving mobility', 'fire resistance', 'high strength', 'weight limiting', and so on.

But even among these achievable requirements, many of them cannot coexist with each other, or there are upper limits, such as 'strength' and 'weight limit', 'growth rate' and 'intensity', etc....

On the other hand, it is simply necessary to start from scratch, such as 'energy efficiency', 'agility', and so on.

However, how can a country's research plan be described as 'arrogant', and whether or not all of these requirements can be achieved in the end, the progress that can be made in the process alone is worth the Witch Doctor's charge towards the goal.

~~~~

Judging from the actual situation of the large, medium and small tribes in the tribal period, the probability of the Black Forest troll race giving birth to a spellcaster will be roughly 1000 to 1 in the natural state;

That is, out of about 10,000 trolls, there may be ten natural spellcasters.

And now, the total number of troll mouths in the republic has reached 63,000+, of which the number of spellcasters is 93....

Some of them were directly transformed from the witch doctors who existed in the tribes and tribes of the past;

The other part is the result of cultivation from scratch during the dental period and after the establishment of the Republic.

Therefore, it is obvious that the emergence and full popularity of meditation methods have effectively lowered the talent threshold limit for trolls to become spellcasters, so that the ratio of population to spellcasters has dropped to about 700 to about 1.

The increase in the number of witch doctors, as well as the establishment and continuous growth of a clear world view and research methods, have made these spellcasters, who have escaped from mystery and ignorance, further become boosters of civilization and technological progress.

As a result, the development of the entire ethnic group is leaping forward at a speed visible to the naked eye.

However, the number of existing casters is still stretched thin for the Republic;

The emergence of a large project that needs to be carried out together means that a large number of witch doctors will have to put aside their research and support a new project that may be urgently needed in the short term, but will not necessarily be more valuable than their own research in the medium to long term.

For example, the 'prison' design may be one such project.....

However, this seems to be something that cannot be solved now, so the witch doctors who were dispatched showed their understanding and obeyed the deployment.

It was with this mindset that another research project of unknown duration began to be executed......

~~~~~

Because many of the requirements were too difficult to implement, the study took much longer than expected.

During this period, however, the development of other aspects of the republic did not come to a standstill, and remarkable achievements were made in all aspects.

The first thing to say is that the thousand elf embryos have finally completed their gestation, and the elven boys and girls, who are half male and half female, have been arranged to enter the special 'language and common sense class' for them at this time, as the basis for official enrollment.

According to the level of intelligence they have shown, this stage of learning does not last long, and the elves can enter the first grade of the Central School to receive formal education after about half a year of age.

After observing the first batch of 'results', Nesta, who found that there was no problem, waved his hand and immediately started the cultivation of the second batch of 1,000 tree embryos.

However, this time, the supplier of germ cells was replaced and matched according to a random pattern before being put into the vacant culture chamber.

After the accumulation of the previous batch of cultivation stages, with the support of the various data obtained, the breeding time of the second batch of elf embryos has been compressed to ten years, and has reached the time extreme value that cannot be broken in the short term.

On the other hand, the 'Inner North City' within the northern gap was also completed during this period, and the 1,500 middle-aged trolls who had come to the new city and participated in the construction of the new city with their own hands had now begun their official production activities.

With the sufficient supply of agricultural machinery and construction machinery, a large area of concentrated fields and various factories have been completed near the city.

The new city is positioned as the backing of the wartime northern plateau and the hub between the Black Forest and the plateau during the war, so it will inevitably have a broad space for development in the future.

In addition, there have been a number of crucial technological breakthroughs in farming....

Several elements that have a benign effect on all aspects of the growth of crops have been discovered in the past few years.

Knowing the importance of food, Nesta has set aside a limited number of witch doctors to conduct further research on them from phenomenon to essence, and finally achieved clear results.

The witch doctors and the apprentices in charge of the experimental fields not only determined the specific properties of these elements, but also extracted them through some of the 'tasteful' plants.

These elements were named 'chemical fertilizer for soil', or 'chemical fertilizer' for short, and after the apprentices developed their special fertilization tools and fine fertilization methods for different crops, they were officially supplied to large and small farms and farms, once again increasing the already large and small grain output per acre.

However, the model of extracting these elements from non-arable soil and transferring them to arable land is in fact an overdraft of future developable arable land.

As a result, the non-soil extraction 'mining' scheme was included in the government's plan, and the corresponding veins were found according to the chemical and physical laws that the witch doctors had previously discovered when they discovered them.

Considering the lack of troll mouths, and the fact that the witch doctors could no longer spare more energy to develop specialized mining plants (the previous root extraction method could only be used in the soil), the ruling government decided to use the horn hoofs first....

Some of these veins are in the form of lakes and were discovered in the northern plateau, and their mining was entrusted to the horned hoof;

Taking into account a number of other factors, the Republic decided to import it as the main trade material for both sides, rather than persecuting the horned hoofs in the form of 'tribute'.

After thorough negotiations, the Hornhoofed Alliance, which had long been burdened with a heavy burden financially, happily took up the task and began mining under the guidance of the troll engineer.

Some of the veins were found in the Black Forest, but because they were mainly 'rocky solid deposits', the mining process required the use of construction vehicles that only trolls could run, so the hornhoe species lost jobs....

However, the headquarters actually wants the hornhoofs to get this job opportunity, but the difference in strength between the two sides is too large, and the existing engineering vehicles are designed for trolls, and although the hornhoofs can barely make them move, the strength required for mining is not what they can provide.

Therefore, the ruling government once again placed a research order with the Machinery Research Institute, hoping that they could design a series of horn hoof engineering vehicles as soon as possible....

Of course, if the engineering vehicle is designed according to the power attributes of the horn hoof, the work efficiency is absolutely miserable;

But considering that the hornhoe has recovered to a population of 100,000, the ruling government really does not want to waste this extra labor.

Therefore, under this plan, although these minerals will be supplied in the short term by troll mining and land acquisition, they will become an important income-generating project for horned hoofs in the medium term.

As for what the further future holds, it's hard to say yet.....

There is also a chemical fertilizer element, which is an important component of the atmosphere, and the method of obtaining them is more special;

First, it is obtained directly in the laboratory;

Although the purity of the product obtained by this method is high, it is very difficult to extract, so it is only used for scientific research now.

second, the previous plant extraction program;

Unlike other chemical fertilizers, the process of obtaining this element is actually mineralization and precipitation of atmospheric components, and does not harm the corresponding fertility of the land where the plants are planted.

Therefore, for the extraction of this element, the 'traditional' plant scheme was temporarily retained and no alternatives were found.

In addition to agriculture, urban construction has also achieved some good results in the past few years when the witch doctors have been immersed in research;

First of all, the middle-aged trolls who have migrated to the headquarters have been resettled, and the ruling government has specially distributed relocation compensation, resettlement funds, food subsidies, and so on.

But the distribution of money is not an end in itself, but a way to circulate money and thus increase the economic vitality of the republic.

Trolls will use the money to buy food, clothes, services, and even build houses.

Most trolls are willing to buy the most expensive, the most dazzling, the most delicious, the sharpest, and even the house has to be designed and built by an apprentice engineer, and then live in it.

A few trolls are more introverted, and they are satisfied with a decent set for themselves.

A handful of trolls are more conservative, preferring to cut down trees and build houses on their own;

But as long as the houses they built themselves can meet the appearance requirements of the ruling government in terms of regulations, then no one will interfere;

As for whether this house will collapse ....

It doesn't matter, you can't kill the trolls anyway, as long as you pay a compensation for destroying the city's appearance afterwards.

In the past, part of the mining work was outsourced to the horn hoof, in fact, in addition to population reasons, there was also a part of this consideration;

The Hornhoof Alliance will also spend money to buy a lot of output from the Republic's side, so this back and forth is just a matter of turning the left hand into the right hand.

In addition, First Bank has duly launched a low-interest loan business in the Black Forest, providing the funds from the funds to the new residents and the old ones, so that they can have more funds to start new businesses.

Of course, because they only had experience in loan sharking before, normal loans have become a new business with no experience, so there are very complicated review procedures to be carried out at this stage;

The size of the factory to be set up by the applicant, the type of product, etc., must be thoroughly studied by both the bank and the Ministry of Finance before the final decision can be made.

Secondly, the demolition of the old town has been completed, and the former home, which was too unsuitable for tens of thousands of trolls, has been converted into a complete storage area, directly connected to the expanded dock to the north.

The trolls who live in it have moved to the new town, making it more lively.

Thirdly, after several years of growth, the water and sewer pipes have finally completed their self-paving in the new urban area of the headquarters;

From now on, trolls, at least those who live in their own home, will be able to flush toilets in their homes;

And the long-standing profession of 'manure sweeper' has gradually withdrawn from the historical stage within the scope of the department.

But the farms, factories, and other cities on the outskirts of the headquarters should have to wait a few more years for the popularization of water and sewerage, and the water and water seeds produced by the witch doctors are now quietly cultivating in the various fields.

Finally, the scale of the 'community pilot' of the headquarters has become larger and larger with the successive participation of batches of graduates;

Today, there are more than 3,000 people living in a new way.

And many trial laws that are closely related to it have gradually been completed with lessons as a growth ladder, and are waiting for the right time to fully promote them.

In addition, there are also two major breakthroughs in the military field;

First, a soldier in the shape of a 'bed crossbow engineering cart' happened to toss an interesting toy in his spare time, which was then seen by a passing apprentice;

The apprentice then worked on the shape of the shaft and the strings to turn the toy into a fairly practical weapon, and in the form of a 'co-invention', signed his own name and that of the soldier to the military council.

The weapon it made could not exert the full strength of the troll, and it was far inferior to the spear in range and power;

However, its form is considered to be very promising, so it has received some attention.

However, since the witch doctors couldn't spare the energy to study the specialized materials for the time being, the apprentices turned their minds to the bed crossbow and wanted to apply the materials directly to the new weapon.

Second, several siege weapons based on imagination were created and entered the stage of self-experimentation.

~~~~~~

Turning his gaze back to the witch doctors.....

The research has been going on for several years, and of course it is not feasible to do it behind closed doors, and frequent communication and debriefing are necessary during this period;

Technological breakthroughs and progress are happening faster or slower in the cycle of 'research', 'exchange', 'inspiration' and 'research'.

Nesta himself was not idle, in addition to coordinating the overall situation, he also took on some specific projects with several assistants.

At this moment, he is in a separate research room with two partitions of the owner, assisted by two witch doctor assistants and several apprentice assistants, carrying out his part of responsibility.

In the partition on the left hand side of the laboratory, there is a huge organ culture cabin;

Soaked in the culture fluid is a distinct brain structure and strange organs connected to it through a number of complex flesh and blood pipes.

It's a volcanic salamander's brain, and its structure appears to be incomplete, with at least three-quarters of its parts missing from its shape alone.

On the outside of this 'disabled' brain are four outer structures that resemble ribs, but are gathered into spheres in shape;

The sphere is divided into 36 layers, each of which is made up of four thin ribs that form a ring, and gradually tightens the circumference from the middle to the top and bottom.

The left, right, front and back sides of the ring layer are four miniature ridges that stand perpendicular to the rest of the ribs;

At the intersection of the ribs and the miniature ridge, there are fascia and muscles, which seem to fix the various parts of this sphere, and finally merge into a whole bone ball with a certain distance between the layers.

And on each rib, there are fiery red filaments that look like fluff and lines, and if you are familiar with volcanic salamanders and look closely, you can understand that these lines are actually muscle fibers;

These muscle fibers all grow in the same direction on the surface of the bone and finally burrow into the four miniature crests;

With the exception of a very small part along the upper and lower ends, the muscle fibers degenerate most of their psychic synapses, which are more like hoses, acting as the outer membrane of the two inner microscopic tubes;

The two tiny pipes inside are flowing with viscous blood in both directions.

Four miniature spinae converge at the bottom of the sphere to form a bony canal, and at its upper end, in the direction of the stump of the brain, there is a hole that has been opened....

The tail end of the brain stump fixed by the fascial structure in the center of the 'rib ball' is an innumerable number of slender silk threads;

They are encased in a tough membrane that converges into bundles and protrudes into the void in the upper part of the bony canal.

This bony tube extends straight downwards for about ten centimeters, and finally connects with the head of another 'bone ball';

The sound of 'bang' and 'bang' came from the strange organ inside this bone ball, which somewhat indicated that this organ had a part of the function of the heart.

The upper and lower balls are one large and one small, the upper one is about half a meter in diameter, and the lower one has a full six meters in cross-sectional length;

Together with the small bone canal of about 15 centimeters in the middle, it forms a deformed gourd shape.

At this time, there was a witch doctor with three apprentices, constantly doing various adjustments and inspections outside the training cabin;

In the process, the witch doctor's spells almost never stopped, and the apprentices behind him were writing something while using some of the totems they carved for research, doing the auxiliary work they could.

The lab was started by a Nestaben troll, but strangely enough, his own energy doesn't seem to be fully focused on the culture pod, at least not at all;

At this time, he was 'playing' with some metal threads in a single room on the right side of the laboratory, divided by a transparent wall, and even had a dazzling light on his hands from time to time.

Nesta looked a little busy, and there was no high-end equipment in front of him that seemed unclear at first glance like the one next door, just wires, rods, and pieces of metal, which were placed on the table in a disorderly and orderly manner.

Among them, various colored wires are wound into a strange shape by circles, sorted and sorted;

And the constantly flickering light in his hand, if you look closely, you can also see that it is a series of shining arcs, which are making a 'crackling' sound lingering in his palm.

After a moment, the light faded again, and Nesta opened her palm, which was actually holding a metal rod about five centimeters long with a silvery-white hue.

I saw him clinch the metal rod to his fingertips, and then slowly lean it against the other pieces of metal on the eucalyptus, and then gestured left and right above it;

When it was done, it was pressed down again, so that the metal rod was in direct contact with several metal pieces one after another.

Nesta then frowned slightly, shook her head and set the metal rod aside, visibly dissatisfied.

Lately, his main focus has been on the lab on his left, but whenever he has free time, he tosses the metal back and forth in the partition on his right, apparently trying something.

But the effect is not very good, and some of the materials he knew in his previous life have not been harvested in the experiment for a long time.

Just as Nesta was contemplating her brows and trying to recall the memories of her past life, which were not covered by the high memory benefits of this life, there was a sound from the doorway.

'Dongdong Dong'

"Your Excellency the Speaker of the Council~ Can Freya come in? There's a routine report from the warrior lab~"

There was a knock on the door, followed by a crisp, beautiful female voice rarely heard among trolls, second only to Eshara even to Nesta.
