Online Game: Island War

In the dwarf tribe in the Weibulls forest, Lei Jiu had a pleasant discovery.

While being pleasantly surprised, he also gained a lot of doubts.

Surprisingly, there are two trees that are not valued by the forest dwarves, one is the mulberry tree, and the other is the rubber tree.

Mulberry is a tree species widely distributed in middle temperate and warm temperate regions. The reason why Lei Jiu cares about it is because of a kind of insect - silkworm!

In fact, the silkworm is not the point, but the silk it spits out is the point.

Mulberry silk, ancient Chinese silk was born because of it. (There are also silk fabrics made of other types such as tussah silk, but the proportion is not large, please don't be serious)

How can there be no silkworms when there are mulberries?

After discovering the mulberry trees, Lei Jiu walked around dozens of mulberry trees for a long time, and asked Nicotine to bless him with flying thaumaturgy, and searched carefully in the crown of the trees. Finally, his hard work paid off. Silkworm eggs the size of sesame seeds.

Satisfied with picking off one of the mulberry leaves with silkworm eggs, Lei Jiu told Holstein to pay more attention to the insects that hatched from this insect egg in the future, and if they encountered their natural enemies, drive them away quickly. Don't let these little things go extinct.

As for mulberry trees, planting and transplanting will start next year to expand the coverage area.

The reason why Lei Jiu is so happy is because he heard from Shen Baiye that there is no shortage of cotton, linen, goose down, wool, fur and other products in Laya Continent, but there seems to be no silk products there.

Silk and satin, none at all!

Before that, Lei Jiu was a little bit regretful that the lack of silk was a huge loss to the clothing culture of the game world.

Now, Lei Jiu just wants to say, what's missing is good!

As for the rubber tree, that was the source of his doubts.

As far as he knew, this thing seemed to be native to the tropical rainforest, and later it was widely planted in the subtropics.

But I have never heard that it can grow in temperate zones!

Not even in warm temperate climates.

Of course, doubts belong to doubts, you should be happy or you should be happy. As for the reason for the emergence of the rubber tree is a mutation or some other reason, who cares!

Anyway, having a rubber tree means that he has natural rubber.

What can be done with natural rubber?

That's it!

Not to mention anything else, since I have rain boots, I am no longer afraid of wet shoes when I go out and work in rainy days.

With rubber, there are tires, and the emergence of tires is the real revolution in transportation efficiency.

In addition, such as elastic bands, rubber tubes, triangle belts, rubber gloves, and various sealing and shockproof rubber parts, the application range of natural rubber is quite wide.

There are rubber trees on the Laya continent, but due to the growth environment and various harsh natural conditions, the amount of natural rubber obtained by humans every year is not large, so the price has remained high.

Hey!

Unexpectedly, in this forest dwarf tribe that he didn't pay much attention to, there were two surprises for him.

In a good mood, Lei Jiu decided that the labor reform work of nearly 9,000 dwarves can be delayed for more than a month.

Of course, there was another reason for his decision.

Because this month,

He must first integrate the island where the firewood is located.

In addition, some houses need to be built nearby the coal mine, which is used for the dwarves' labor transformation.

Although these houses don’t need to be too particular, and they are all made of earth kangs, but after all, they have to provide housing for nearly 9,000 people, and the workload is not small. It still takes a certain amount of time to complete.

So Holstein's tears of gratitude, someone who is now accepting it with peace of mind, is well deserved. The favor this time was actually a compromise he made when he was not fully prepared.

Holstein didn't know this, however, so his gratitude was genuine.

And a guy who is so thick-skinned that his defense is completely invincible, his frank attitude is also sincere. At the same time, he has to be astonished. It is too dangerous for this world.

Lei Jiu's next instruction is naturally to let the forest dwarves open a warehouse to release food and help the mountain dwarves like refugees!

When he saw the amount of food allocated to the mountain dwarves by the island owner, Thuringia's loyalty suddenly jumped by nearly 10 points. It can be seen that the extent of his ecstasy at that time can only be expressed in this way.

Not long after, Edgar arrived, but according to Lei Jiu's arrangement, he went to the mountain dwarf tribe first.

When they saw the skinny fellows, they burst into tears, clamoring to make those nasty forest scumbags look good!

Lei Jiu blinked after learning about it, not knowing what to say.

Call others forest scorpions, then what are you? Is it mountainous?

In the end, Edgar's idea of ​​making the forest scorpion look good didn't come true. It was because Holstein, a good old man, had a low enough and sincere enough attitude that he couldn't get angry at all!

He felt that if he had an attack in this situation, he would be bullying an honest person!

And Thuringen also said something on the side. He didn't have a bad impression of Holstein. He hoped that Lei Jiu would not kill the forest dwarves earlier, and this was part of the reason.

In addition, during this trip, I learned that the real villain is actually Austerlitz, and Holstein has always opposed the confrontation between the two races. Thuringia's impression of him is even better.

As for Edgar wanting to beat up Austerlitz, Lei Jiu didn't stop him, but just said, "Torturing a high-ranking prisoner once, next year's task quota needs to add an epic-level armor!"

After mentally weighing for a long time, Edgar gave up angrily.

It's not that he can't complete the extra task quota, as long as the recent difficulties are overcome, and the raw materials are sufficient, it won't take him more than two and a half months to forge an epic armor!

Next year, his original task amount is 4 pieces of epic equipment, 2 weapons and 2 armors. The forging time of weapons is shorter, and he can complete 4 pieces of epic equipment in less than 8 months.

But if he adds an epic armor, he will only have one and a half months to study various ores and how to break through the legendary level.

How can this work!

Don't say that you just can't vent your anger, even if you make him suffer, he has to endure it. There is only a little research time left, and he must not shorten it.

"You can change the research direction first, and study how to improve the forging efficiency of epic equipment! As long as you make progress in this area, won't you have more research time?"

Facing Lei Jiu's pointing, Edgar slapped his head suddenly, "That's right! The island master is smarter!"

Lei Jiu smiled and nodded, the owner of this island is of course smart!

If you can complete the task in half a year, and encounter something like this again, you may feel that it is not unacceptable to sacrifice a month or two and add another task in exchange for a clear mind.

Exploiting the labor force of your subordinates is also skillful, especially after they are happily exploited, thank you!
