Chapter 60 The Unbearable Pain of the Traveler
Chapter 60 The unbearable pain of the time traveler
Death destroys everything
Grass.
Although the short composition was written by Ictor when he was extremely angry, he did not dare to cut corners on the key magical functions.
For this life decline, its main targets are these weeds.
Of course, since Ictor was the secondary target of attack, even if Sasha said nice things to him, he would still inevitably have diarrhea after a while.
This price is considered light.
After the spell was cast, other people in the territory also rushed over in a hurry.
The sound of the spell being cast this time startled everyone, and with the magic circle as the center, the vegetation around the entire castle began to wither on a large scale.
However, Ictor said that everything was under control, and the humans and ratmen in the territory only experienced slight discomfort afterwards.
The magic resistance of animals is already higher than that of most plants, not to mention it is not the main target.
"Did you see those withered weeds? Find a way to take some time before the end of each training session to pick up the dead plants. How long does it take to complete?"
Under the attack of withering life, the slightly fragile weeds were turned into powder, but there were still many tenacious vitality left behind.
Genil thought for a while, pointed to the withered weeds on the ground and said.
So Ictor planned to gather some idle people in the territory the next day, including Aris, Sasha, and several knight attendants, and prepare to explore the forest together.
However, just the night before departure, due to the backlash of dark magic, Ictor had to endure the poor toilet system of the medieval castle.
"Well, please let me try this, clan leader."
This majestic mountain range is also the origin of many rivers, and abundant glacial meltwater transports countless amounts of fresh water at all times.
In layman's terms, this is a pit suspended in the sky. The bottom is completely transparent, and feces will fall directly from the air to the ground outside the castle.
But if you want to cultivate a good field, this is not enough.
At this point, the passage methods of the world's barriers were developed on a large scale, and frontline territories were established one after another on possible thoroughfares.
Unfortunately, there is too much water in the Fanfuna River.
Genil took the order and left, and after solving the fertilizer problem, the next thing Ictor had to do was to turn the abandoned fields into farmland.
This thing is the main food crop in the frontline territory. According to Ictor's knowledge, this thing should be called "water wheat" more appropriately.
Few people can reach the southern continent through this mountain range. Even the large-scale migration of native races to the south was after the defeat of the north and they had to find a way.
The first thing that needs to be solved is the problem of seed production, but before that, Iket needs to make the fields really become fields, instead of the fields they are now.
Therefore, this water intake plan can only be shelved.
Ictor could see this movement just by standing on the tower of the castle. Wherever he looked, there were many places that could be called small waterfalls.
After some statistics, the only losses in the territory were some wild vegetables picked in the canteen and a few oranges brought out by Iket.
But that doesn’t mean that water wheat can always be soaked in deep water. Soaking in water is just to drown weeds and increase the yield per acre. Water wheat that has been soaked in deep water for a long time will still die.
There is the famous equatorial snow peak Mount Kilimanjaro on Blue Star, and behind the Windsor Territory, the Kabulon Mountains that divide the north and south of the continent were actually known as the World Barrier.
The current state of these plants is a bit like being burned by fire, leaving a large amount of inorganic salts and organic matter, and also solving the problem of weeding.
No toilet paper.
In addition, there is also the term "well water".
The first thing that needs to be solved is water supply.
Seeing Ictor's approval, Genil nodded his head, picked a weed and pulled it up easily.
There may be no problem in normal times, but once it starts to rain, the territory lacks dikes, the river water flows back, and there is no time to drain, so how can we talk about water supply?
Moreover, without dams, the water level of the river is generally lower than the farmland on both sides, making it unsuitable for early development.
The crop that Iket wants to grow is a localized "wheat".
Moreover, according to Ickert's visual inspection, the terrain near the mountains is also slightly elevated, which is more convenient for him to build water conservancy facilities.
But in this way, the two major water sources for mankind, surface water and underground water, have been excluded.
Iket's method of retting fertilizer is anaerobic retting. In the process of anaerobic retting, the main force that decomposes plant corpses is anaerobic bacteria. The humus obtained through anaerobic fermentation is more completely decomposed and has a higher nutritional value.
Water wheat is a crop that is very suitable for survival in tropical rainforests with rainy weather throughout the year.
"It's simple. You find some farmland close to the water source, fill it with water, pile up the weeds and cover them tightly with mud. Note that the water level must cover the mud pile. That's all."
Not only that, due to the accidental "life activation" in the previous rounds, even the remaining grass seeds in the field were eliminated.
When it heard that there was coriander to eat, the coriander jumped with joy and neighed happily.
But the land that needs irrigation in the territory is two thousand acres!
Two thousand acres, each well can only irrigate 30 acres at most, so he can't dig dozens of wells.
For this problem, the simplest way is to divert water directly from the Fanfuna River, which has sufficient water volume and fast speed.
The current condition of the farmland in the territory can be said to be very good.
As for those weeds, they either withered or turned into ashes, and their death was quite tragic.
Water wheat is just like rice. Once the roots are submerged in water, some of the rhizome cells will be forcibly necrotic, causing them to form tracheae connected to the water surface.
Moreover, he also faced the most intolerable thing for most time travellers.
He had already had this idea. If he wanted to grow water wheat, the three most important problems that needed to be solved were water supply, water level maintenance, and drainage.
"Okay, let's go."
"Yesyes, clan leader, I will do it."
"Master, everyone is ready."
Picking up the indescribable sponge ball, Iket realized that something must be put on the agenda as soon as possible.
After so many days of bad weather in the territory, Iket's beloved horse Xiangcai was also very happy to go out. As soon as this good horse was called, he took the initiative to put the equipment on his back and couldn't wait.
Early the next morning.
"Hey, good girl, don't worry, I will plant coriander for you to eat when the time comes."
The answer is heaven.
He immediately called Genil and gave the Love Education Camp a new task.
Therefore, this plan was rejected by him.
"Of course, in addition to these things, the rat man's feces and the vegetable stalks left over from the canteen can be put inside, as long as it is sealed properly."
This is exactly what he wanted. The water source is abundant, it is not easily affected by the rainy season, the construction difficulty is low, and the construction risk is not high.
Xiangcai is a very smart horse. Iket usually lets her out to find grass on her own. When needed, she only needs to whistle and Xiangcai will come immediately from a distance.
Angry magic does not cause pollution. According to Ickert's research, dark magic can be regarded as a reverse mechanism of ordinary magic.
"Clan leader, it should be enough to let the slave rats work at this level for three days, but what should we do after collecting them?"
The castle itself is not far from the mountains, the woods are not deep, and the presence of the undead has reduced the range of activities of dangerous monsters.
So where to find water?
Judging from the condition of the roots, most of the roots of these weeds have lost water and will break as soon as they are pulled out.
And it won't get worms.
Aris stepped forward, and behind him, several knights and attendants sat behind the guys who could ride horses, carrying swords, guns, bows and arrows.
Also accompanying him was the old carpenter from the territory, which Ictor had specially ordered.
"Then let's set off. Let's go find something and go hunting to improve our food."
With Ictor's strength, there was nothing to worry about during this trip. He rode on Coriander, let Sasha sit behind him and hold on tight, and led the team towards the woods on horseback.
