Chapter 32: Sugar
The search for the zombie wyvern found nothing, which is a normal thing, because Jiayi has already left the small world, and it does not have the specific location where Jiayi left, there is only a general direction, and it is strange to be able to find it.
Only the orcs were shivering, and the zombie wyverns patrolled around every day, and they didn't even dare to go out, and there was no food replenishment for several days, signaling that when they had enough food some time ago, although most of the hunting and gathering had been reduced, it had not completely stopped, and there was still a little reserve.
But this reserve is also rapidly depleted under the huge population of the orcs, and the range of zombie wyverns leaving for patrol every day is getting wider and wider, and they are close to the place where the orcs are hiding and then leaving, and a few days have passed, and when the orcs are about to venture out again to collect food, Kaichi has returned.
Because of the difficult environment faced by the orcs, Jiayi brought back a lot of food this time, he borrowed a storage box, and moved it over at one time, almost enough food for the orcs to barely eat for half a year, and also brought a lot of crypt mushrooms.
Crypt mushrooms are a kind of food often eaten by cavemen and dwarves underground, grow quickly, can grow to half a human height, and do not need sunlight, although they are not particularly hungry, and the taste is far less delicious than ordinary mushrooms, but it is enough to satisfy hunger, with Jiayi's support this time, orcs can at least develop for another half a year with peace of mind.
The orcs also told him about the zombie wyvern, but although Kaichi became a little more careful, he didn't particularly care, he thought that the zombie wyvern was looking for the bad luck of the vampire. After all, vampires often go to the land of the undead to sweep away, and it is very rare for the undead to endure for so long without coming out to take revenge.
After handing over the food to the orcs, Kaichi quickly returned to the teleportation array and returned to Moshacher. And after he left, the zombie wyvern quickly came to the neighborhood.
He unscrupulously swayed his coercion, announcing his existence to the surroundings, although his eyes were two holes, he seemed to be able to see the brilliance inside, and his spiritual power scanned the surrounding land over and over again.
But he soon turned from excitement to doubt, and as he slowly expanded his range, he turned into anger, and he raised his head and let out a heavy roar, then he took a sharp breath, lowered his head and stretched his neck, and the death breath was like a waterfall, pouring down into the mountain below him.
He spewed down the breath of death over and over again, and the plants on the hill quickly withered, decayed, and turned into a cloud of fly ash, and even the hill was covered with a terrible white color. But even if he turned a few nearby mountains into a dime, he still didn't find anything.
The zombie wyvern fell to the ground, stretched out his claws, and a phalanx appeared in his hand, and he fiddled with the phalange, but there was no reaction at all: "I've been deceived, there's nothing here." ”
What he holds in his hand is the phalanx of the undead monarch, if there is a spatial gap here, then there will definitely be a reaction, but deep underground that he can't see, a teleportation array is flickering in the underground cavern with a faint light, but all the spatial fluctuations are blocked by the magic array, and it can't be transmitted at all.
The small world is too closed, and the undead monarch, though powerful, lacks an understanding of magic, let alone a zombie dragon.
Jia left early in the morning, not even knowing that someone was chasing her for her tracks.
......
Temperatures are starting to cool down in Moshacher, and the island's sugar beets are starting to harvest time.
Sweet Island has abundant rain and lush sunshine, which is not the best place to grow sugar beets in the first place, sugar beets love cold, and the north is the best place to grow. The Cyber Collar is also suitable, as it is located in the south, but because of the Hengduan Mountains, the rain is scarce, and the four seasons are clearly different, which is also conducive to the growth of sugar beets.
But fortunately, there is magic, Keener's improvement of sugar beets is very successful, at least the beets growing on Sweet Island are very lush, each plant is very fat, the leaves on the ground are almost half a human height, and the underground rhizomes are also half exposed on the ground, each one is almost the thickness of a small winter melon.
"Master Keener, I didn't expect the beets to grow so well on Sweet Island, and thanks to your efforts, otherwise it would not have been so successful. ”
The workers hired by Kaichi were harvesting sugar beets in the fields, and although they didn't quite understand why Kaichi planted so many vegetables, they were happy to see a good harvest.
"This is not only due to me," said Keener, "thanks to the guano that Miss Gary found as fertilizer, without an adequate supply of fertilizer, these beets would not have grown so well." ”
Jia nodded a little, and was also very surprised that Donna and Ou Lei were able to buy a large amount of guano as fertilizer, guano is a sought-after commodity in the market, almost monopolized by the big plantation owners around Moshacher, it is not easy to buy, unless you go to a place far away from Moshacher, but the transportation cost is too high, and the gains outweigh the losses.
"The Great Druisneby has been working on fertilizers, which are synthesized artificially and are much easier to obtain without having to find islands that contain guano," he says. I don't know what the result will be now, but if it has already been produced, we can buy some of it. ”
He believes that it is not difficult for Sneby to come up with a suitable fertilizer, but whether it can be produced in large quantities and the price cannot be too high, which is the most difficult.
Jiayi believes that as long as Snappy really produces fertilizer, it is not a problem for him to want to buy some. Speaking of which, Sneby's research on chemical fertilizers and hybrid rice is still Jiayi's idea.
Coming back from the field, they passed through the tea workshop and came to the sugar factory, the sugar factory has already arrived with a batch of sugar beets, which is being cleaned and cut and squeezed by sugar, the beets are cleaned by hand, the top leaves are cut off and put into the sugar pressing machine, the machine will automatically cut the beets into thin strips, and then extract the sugar through water immersion, and the remaining dregs will be pressed again to squeeze all the sugar, and these sugar water will be filtered, faded, and finally evaporated and crystallized, and finally become white sugar.
Pure white sugar.
They came to the final evaporation room, waiting for the birth of the first batch of white sugar, Jiayi couldn't wait, and used the magic circle to accelerate the evaporation of water, so that the sugar crystallized more quickly, and the final sugar had two ways to crystallize, one would keep stirring to let the solution flow, and the result was white sugar, the crystal was smaller, and there was a solution that was static, and rock sugar would be formed.
Soon, the first batch of sugar came out with Jiayi's active intervention, and the workers brought two plates of sugar on wooden plates, one of which seemed to be piled with a layer of snow, and the other seemed to be a piece of crystal stacked on the plate.
It looks so pure and clean, Jiayi has an activated carbon purification array, which can filter impurities and adsorb color, and get the purest white sugar, just like making salt in the past.
