449, royal jelly, flower essence
Levi and Alice arrive at the underground hive.
The underground hive is where the flower-picking bees live and brew honey and extract the essence of flowers.
The door was guarded by a few sturdy battle bees.
Several battle bees are all third-order high-level demonic beasts.
When an ordinary person approaches, they will be attacked by the battle bee as soon as possible.
Under Alice's leadership, Levi was able to safely enter the underground hive and not be attacked by the battle bees.
Levi looked around and asked, "These are all built after you came?" ”
Alice shook her head and said, "No, I just subdued the queen bees of this hive before I could order the flower bees to help me do things." ”
"This underground hive has been around for a long time."
Levi asked curiously, "That hive must have more than a few hundred flower-picking bees, right?" ”
Alice glanced at Levi and said, "There are only a few hundred flower-picking bees that can purify the essence of a hundred flowers, and there are at least tens of thousands of bees that are not considered Warcraft." ”
"Oh, I see." Levi nodded.
Not all bees in an underground hive are magical beasts.
Of the tens of thousands of bees, only a few hundred flower-picking bees have grown to the first and second order, and even more flower-picking bees are not even zero-order demonic beasts.
At best, they are more toxic bees.
But it is also very dangerous for ordinary people.
So, not many people dared to approach this underground hive until Alice subdued the queen bee of this underground hive.
As soon as Levi walked into the underground hive, a swarm of flower-picking bees noticed Levi's scent and buzzed with an alarm.
Attract a number of battle bee guards to surround Levi and Alice.
Because Alice was there, the Battle Bee didn't attack directly, just surrounded the two.
Otherwise, the battle bee will directly launch the drive.
Alice appeases the battle bees and the flower bees, and takes Levi through the underground hive to the deepest part of the mountain, where honey and flower essence are produced.
Levi also met the queen bee here.
White and tender, like a giant flesh worm, not like a bee at all.
When the queen bee saw Alice, she made a purring sound and wanted to squirm over to rub Alice.
Alice gently soothes the excited queen bee as she points to the pink droplets that are dripping from the rocks next to her.
"That's the essence of a hundred flowers, and I don't know exactly how it's made."
"The flower bees collect the flowers and hide them in the grotto above, and after a while, the flowers will turn into the essence of a hundred flowers and drip down."
"In addition to being used as a material for the sacrificial ritual of the Hundred Flowers God, the Hundred Flowers Essence is also an important resource for the advancement of the queen bee, the flower-picking bee, and the battle bee."
Hearing this, Levi nodded, and said, "I'll go up and have a look." ”
Alice communicates with the queen bee, who spits out a blob of golden, gooey mass.
Alice reached out and caught it, then handed it to Levi.
"Eat it, and the bees in the underground hive won't be hostile to you."
When Levi saw that this thing was spit out of the queen's mouth, he immediately felt extremely twisted.
"Ah......h Is it okay not to eat? "Levi didn't want to eat it.
Alice smiled and said, "This thing can't be eaten by others if they want to, this is a top-grade royal jelly specially for queen bees to eat, and it also has great benefits for the body after eating, and it can also improve mana." ”
Hearing this, Levi hesitated for a moment and glanced at the white queen.
With a ruthless heart, he grabbed the top royal jelly like jelly in Alice's hand and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Well, it's delicious."
The taste is exceptionally mellow and sweet, even if you stuff it into your mouth, you won't feel sweet and bitter.
That sweetness is just right.
Alice said, "After eating royal jelly, you have the scent of a queen bee, and all the bees in the underground hive will treat you like a queen bee." ”
Levi nodded, "Well, okay, then I'll go up." ”
He walked alone towards the cave where the flowers were stored.
When the surrounding bees saw him, they fell to the ground and bowed their heads in submission.
Levi glanced at the bees around him, revealing a look of surprise, he didn't expect royal jelly to work so well.
It's surprisingly good.
Even if it was a third-order battle bee, when he saw Li Wei, he instinctively stopped and bowed his head.
Bees identify themselves by smell.
Levi has the scent of a queen bee, and for other bees, that's the queen.
All the way unimpeded.
Levi went to the cave where the flowers were stored, and saw the few dozen remaining flower-picking bees busily carrying the flowers into the cave.
The busy flower bee ignored Levi's arrival.
They are given more advanced orders and do not need to salute the queen bee when they work.
Serious work is their task.
Levi walked into the cave and found a strange smell in the cave.
It's a bit like the smell of rotting flowers, but it feels a little fragrant, not pure rotten.
He unleashed his psychic power to perceive the situation inside the cave.
Soon, Levi found the source of the taste.
Flowers at the bottom of the cave that are gradually decaying.
He found that the flower bees would spill some transparent liquid after dropping the flowers in the cave.
It is this liquid that allows the flowers to ferment and produce the first flower essence, which is then filtered through the infiltration of the rock formations and gradually condensed into the pink flower essence in the queen bee cave.
"Isn't this the production of flower essence through microbial fermentation?"
"So, the essence of a hundred flowers is wine?"
Levi shook his head, feeling that he couldn't use his previous thinking to deduce the laws of the other world.
Potflower extract is produced by microbial fermentation.
Knowing this principle, Levi collected microorganisms and flowers in a transparent liquid for experiments.
In reality, he didn't have that much time to experiment.
Levi goes straight into the dream world.
By simulating the birth process of the essence of a hundred flowers, Levi soon confirmed his guess.
After more than 10 simulations, Levi found the most suitable temperature, proportion, and filtration method.
Levi exits the dream and returns to the queen bee's cave with some clear liquid and flowers.
Alice saw that Levi was back, and she said: "It doesn't matter if there is no way, I have discussed with the queen bee, and it is barely enough to consume some flower essence and give birth to a batch of zero-order flower picking bees." ”
Levi shook his head and said, "No, I've found a better solution." ”
"I have a way to increase the yield of flower essence, and more than 20 flower-picking bees are enough."
Allowing the flower bees to produce flower extract through natural fermentation is a very slow and inefficient process.
Levi had already found the most suitable conditions for production in his dreams.
Through human intervention, the production efficiency of Baihua Essence can be greatly improved.
Increase efficiency by tens or even hundreds.
It is enough to have two dozen flower bees in charge of collecting flowers.
If you collect flowers, humans can do it, but you can't hire some workers to help.
Alice looked at him in amazement when she heard Levi so confident.
"Do you really have a way?"
