Necromancer: Becoming a God from a Lord

Chapter 256: Natural Treasure House in the Wasteland

Egno, who worked in the Territory Medical Hospital, squeezed out a "scientific research funding" from Harvey some time ago, and then happily led his research partner Chris and a hundred seconded from military commander Pierce. The soldiers of the North Army rode out on the magic carriage that was driving lightning and went out to collect folk songs.

The main purpose of this trip was Egno’s “supplement sampling” plan for magical plants for the territorial potion plantation. The plantation has been put into operation for almost half a year, in addition to introducing a large number of common southern regions. In addition to the planting of magic potion plants, some newly discovered magic plants near the territory have also determined the characteristics and practical methods of medicine through experiments, and have been included in the plantation for artificial cultivation.

After the Harvest Festival, Harvey took time to let Egnot inspect the general situation of the plantation, believing that the magical plant species in the garden are still too single. In addition to cultivating a large number of rubber fruits with a wide range of uses, only winter A few types of frost flowers, hawk-beaked wood, human-faced grass, dog-headed thorn potatoes, etc. have been widely planted.

These are the raw materials needed for the Territory Medical Hospital to develop magic vaccines in large quantities. Magic plants can only be cultivated and grown in the special temperature difference and land environment of the northern wasteland. This is why Harvey insists on exporting only finished plague potions to the Federation. , and the reason why the chemical formula cannot be directly sold - the raw materials used for the chemical configuration cannot be obtained in the southern border, only he is the source of raw materials located in the northern border wasteland.

Considering that a magical creature with a specialty of the North that was accidentally discovered before - the snake-headed leech, played a very important role in the medical development of the territory. Even the medical alchemy beasts that are now popular at the civil level use this. It is transformed from the soul of a giant leech with a disgusting and smooth appearance. Harvey believes that it is necessary to go out regularly for sampling and collection.

The vast wasteland north of the Shenji Mountains is essentially a huge natural treasure house that humans cannot stand on.

...

Egno and Chris did not disappoint Harvey. Although they had been hanging out for nearly two weeks, the sampling harvests brought back were extremely rich.

In addition to some edible non-magical wild crops, there are three new magical plants that are very interesting to Harvey.

"These ordinary wild fruit and vegetables samples can be directly catalyzed with magic and handed over to the Ministry of Agriculture for cultivation and research. Whether mass production and planting can be achieved still needs to be left to time to verify..." Egno held a thick list of samples and ordered a list of samples Harvey reports.

One of these reed-like plants that have not been temporarily named but look very thick on the outside was discovered by the sampling team near a dry salt lake more than 200 miles away. They can actually squeeze out salt-rich from their thick stems. The rich juice really made Harvey feel incredible.

Isn’t this the super salty version of sugar cane?

There are no natural well salt veins near Harvey's pioneering territory. The large amount of salt needed by the people on a daily basis is imported from the southern border by real money and silver. The Longshi Chamber of Commerce has several super-large sea salt mines in Faros, the country of Thousand Sails, although it is necessary. It was shipped thousands of miles away, but the price was relatively fair.

But since the outbreak of the plague in St. Valen, the Dragon Stone Chamber of Commerce has requested a suspension of transactions, and needs to wait for the epidemic to ease before the transportation of bulk goods is resumed. Other luxury goods such as sugar, wine, silk, and tobacco have no effect. However, if salt, which is related to people's livelihood issues, is not replenished for a long time, it will inevitably greatly affect the quality of life of the people in the territory.

Reiner also thought of a way to use alchemy camel beasts to transport some salt-brine crystals from a natural saline-alkali land far away outside the territory, but the journey is too far and the transportation cycle is long. It also requires always guard against the harassment of the surrounding evil orc tribes, and the mining and production efficiency are both. Very low.

Moreover, most people in the territory who are used to eating fine sea salt are not short of money. They have long been in a semi-well-off state and are more willing to spend more money to buy sea salt that is already in short supply. For this kind of natural mineral that is slightly bitter Salt sneered.

From simple to extravagant, from extravagant to simple to do...

"Are you sure this salty... sugarcane can really squeeze a large amount of salt-rich slurry, and purify a large amount of salt crystals that do not contain impurities?" Harvey was pinching a small piece of plant stem, a little unsure of it. .

Although he had seen spherical oil-pressed olives and also known sweet wild fruits that could extract rubber, it was the first time he had seen plants produce salt.

"Sir, it's true. We have repeatedly verified that although the magic power contained in this stout reed plant is extremely weak, it can squeeze out rich salt juice, which is safe and non-toxic and has pure ingredients..." Egg Noo replied firmly.

Chris also came over and agreed, "Besides, they are very simple to plant. They only need to cut off some of the stems and insert them into the soil at will. They will soon take root and sprout, and they will rise a lot in three or five days. Pick the soil and plant it even on the sandy land of the river beach!”

Harvey nodded and ordered, "Then let the Ministry of Agriculture allocate a piece of river beach and use it as a test field to plant a batch, and then make plans."

After saying that, he turned to look at the few weird plants that were carefully placed on the laboratory bench and isolated with a glass cover. He asked, "In addition to ordinary wild crop plants, I heard that you have also found several very strange species. Magical plants?”

Egno and Chris immediately became excited. They held Harvey and came to the experimental table, and began to introduce enthusiastically - this was the most important harvest of their sampling this time, in addition to the salty sugarcane.

Chris carefully picked up a crystal clear bean-shaped wild fruit with his metal arm, and explained happily: "This is a magical fruit that has never been discovered in alchemy and alchemy. Its characteristics are very unique - the fruit juice extracted from it can change color at will, whether it is the azure blue of the sky or the dark green of the dense forest, or even the brown and black of the soil... Sir, we have discovered a new magic dye!"

Harvey stared at Chris's movements, watching him crush the fruit in his hand, and the transparent juice in it stained his originally silver-white metal palm, but soon the stained part immediately changed in the sunlight, and as he brought his palm closer to a piece of dark black cloth, his palm quickly changed to the same color.

A term for equipment that often appeared in various modern war games in his previous life quickly flashed through Harvey's mind - optical camouflage!

This is not a magic dye at all! No, it should be said that its function should not only be used to dye textiles, but it is more suitable for military use - whether it is the camouflage uniforms of soldiers, or the concealed exterior coatings of weapons and military vehicles.

No mistake, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!

"How long does this dyeing and color change effect last? Is it permanent?" Harvey asked impatiently.

Egno had already prepared the answer and smiled and said: "It is similar to the characteristics of rubber fruit. If it is not soaked in strong salt water for bleaching, it can almost maintain this color change state. We tried to use it to infect an ordinary cotton coat, and then let the soldiers wear it in the woods for experiments. As a result, it perfectly simulated the various mottled colors of tree trunks, soil, and bushes. Although the soldier was standing only a few dozen meters away from us, it looked as if he was invisible on the spot and difficult to be found!"
