Online Game: Island War

Before the land dried up, Huanghuang Island ushered in the autumn harvest.

First, they experienced squalls, torrential rains, floods, and then several months of water shortage. Even though the vitality of the food plants in the game world was tenacious, the output was cut by more than half.

This year's autumn harvest, the island's average grain yield per mu is only 43% of last year's.

Taking a look at the current soil conditions and the degree of water loss, Lei Jiu decided to stop sowing in autumn this year in combination with the system's warnings.

In the current situation, even if the seeds are sown, it is just a waste of seeds.

Of course, this is not the case in all places. The selected artificial rainfall areas can be sown normally.

In this autumn harvest, not all grains have been severely reduced. Breadfruit, the grain that grows on trees, has been relatively less affected.

Moreover, the main factor for the reduction in production is neither the previous flood nor the subsequent water shortage.

It was the hurricane before the rainstorm that directly killed one-third of the fruit.

Among the several artificial rainfall areas selected by Lei Jiu, one of them is concentrated in the breadfruit tree planting area.

The only unsatisfactory thing is that the yield per mu of breadfruit is a little lower than that of corn and other grains.

Of course, this is not the main reason why it has not been widely promoted by Lei Jiu. After all, breadfruit tastes very good and has higher nutritional value.

The reason why he does not take the initiative to promote it is that even if it is planted on a large scale, there will not be spiritual planting in proportion to the planting area as in other staple food producing areas.

The taste and nutritional value of breadfruit is higher than that of ordinary grains, but it is far worse than that of Lingzhi.

Although Huanghuang Island now has a vast area of ​​arable land, the output of spiritual plants is considerable.

But the total number of legions has also increased considerably, and Lei Jiu's goal is to allow all legions to eat Lingmi Lingmi throughout the year, so the supply of Lingzhi is still tight.

Occasionally, some leftovers are conquered and put on the market, which immediately triggers a frenzied rush by the islanders.

Lingzhi was put into the military supplies by Lei Jiu,

One of the purposes is to stimulate the enthusiasm of the islanders to join the army.

Eating the best food and earning the highest salary, so as long as the qualifications meet the standards for enlistment, almost no one will refuse to be recruited by the army.

Another purpose, of course, is that this kind of high-nutrition food can accelerate the growth of soldiers. With the super-grade sea beast meat sent by Xiang Liu and the others from time to time, the combat power of each legion has increased so rapidly in recent years.

Those who joined the army earlier and whose upper limit of combat power is less than 80 have basically reached their peak state.

 …

"Master Island Master!" One morning, butler Li Fu woke up Lei Jiu who hadn't woken up yet.

"Hmm~! Li Fu, what happened so early?" With sleepy eyes, Lei Jiu spoke dreamily.

"Master Xiangliu, they saved several deep-sea races from the mouth of a super-rank sea beast. According to them, they belong to the water spirit boy race, and they are rare races engaged in agricultural production in the ocean!

Master Xiangliu knows that the island owner has been worrying about food recently, and hopes that he can go there as soon as possible!

These water spirit boys seem to be in a hurry, Master Xiangliu and the others can't force them to stay for too long! "

Water Spirit Boy? Agriculture in the sea?

Will there be agriculture in the sea?

How can agriculture be developed when the sun cannot even penetrate into the deep sea? Without photosynthesis to form plant sugar, how can it grow as food?

After hastily washing and sorting out, Lei Jiu flew directly to Dragon City.

He planned to go to Crowley first and ask him to drive him to Huangzhou City.

Although his current physical strength is much stronger than before, Huangzhou City is 490 kilometers away from Huangxiao City. If he is allowed to fly by himself, the possibility of being exhausted and paralyzed halfway is very high.

As for the crystal car railway from Huangxiao City to Huangzhou City, there will only be 5 pairs of relative departures every day, with an average of every two hours.

Looking at the current time, the first shift should have just left, Lei Jiu couldn't wait for two hours.

It took half an hour to fly to Dragon City, and another hour later, Crowley drove Lei Jiu to Huangzhou City.

At the dock, Lei Jiu saw the water spirit boy that Xiang Liu had mentioned.

The water spirit boy has a roughly human appearance, well, it is indeed roughly correct.

Their height is about 1 meter, their bodies are flatter than humans, with gills on both sides of their faces, and their eyes can hardly see anything, but they can sense the infrared spectrum region, which can be used as very blurry night vision devices.

In addition, the muscular system of their bodies is not well developed.

All of the above should be formed to adapt to the living environment of the deep sea.

Although the opponent's appearance is rather weird, Lei Jiu's expression is very calm.

After 510 years of gaming career, he has a high acceptance of creatures that look like monsters, and he will no longer make a fuss about it, so he appears quite calm and calm.

"See the human lord of Huanghuang Island, thank you for your subordinates who extended a helping hand to us!"

Lei Jiu waved his hand, was polite, then changed the topic, and began to inquire about how the water spirit boy clan grows food in the deep sea, and whether the food grown can be eaten by humans.

In this regard, the other party is very willing to answer.

The plant planted by the Shuilingtong family is called Volcanic Rice.

It needs to be planted near an active submarine volcano, relying on the geothermal energy emitted from time to time to obtain growth energy, and at the same time, the solidified volcanic rocks also have the nutrients they need for growth.

Of course, the condensed volcanic rock naturally cannot grow volcanic rice. After all, its solidity is very high, and the seeds of volcanic rice cannot take root and germinate at all.

At this time, it was the turn of the Shui Lingtong clan. They needed to smash the volcanic rocks piece by piece, and then plant the seeds of volcanic rice into them.

The growth of volcanic rice is not carried out by photosynthesis, but by using volcanic rock nutrients and seawater to absorb heat through dark-toned tough leaves to carry out a series of chemical transformations, and finally grow.

As long as a suitable area is found, the yield of this kind of volcanic rice is quite high, so the water spirit boy clan is one of the few small and medium ethnic groups that can eat non-fish food.

Those big families in the sea have channels to trade grain with the Raya Continent, even if they don't know how to grow it, they still have food to eat.

After some exchange, Lei Jiu got some volcanic rice from the other party, and immediately ate a few grains raw, without feeling any side effects, and ordered his subordinates to take it for cooking, and then continued to chat and gather information.

The physical condition of the Shui Lingtong clan determines that they are good at farming, but they are not good at fighting.

Otherwise, as the young patriarch of a large tribe of the Water Spirit Boy Clan, he would not have been almost killed by ordinary super-level sea beasts. The safety of their tribe is usually defended by some symbiotic creatures called crab snail lions.

As protected persons, they need to provide the crab snail lion with a certain amount of special minerals on a regular basis. This mineral is relatively rare in the sea, but it is needed by the crab snail lion's body.

The patriarch of Shui Lingtong was going to a powerful ocean clan to exchange for that kind of minerals this time, and he didn't want to be attacked by a crazy sea beast on the way.

After listening, Lei Jiu was overjoyed. The minerals mentioned by the other party are relatively rare in the seabed, and there are not many on Huanghuang Island, but they are not rare in Laya Continent. He can obtain them by issuing long-term missions to adventurers. .

And in the hands of the other party, there are a lot of edible food...
