Chapter Seventy-Two: The Secret of the Black Stone
"Your Highness, this is the Great Elder of our Orc Clan, this is the Second Elder, and this is the Third Elder...... This is the high priest of the Temple of the God of War......." Konstantin was followed by a large group of orcs, and Konstantin introduced them one by one.
"I've seen Your Highness. "Dozens of orcs behind Konstantin each introduced, all saluted respectfully, these orcs have already received the oracle, and it was conveyed by the god of war himself, this is the first time in the history of the Blackstone Wilderness, the rest of the time is generally the divine servant conveys the oracle, after all, although the number of people in the Blackstone Wilderness is very large, but there is no strong guy, so the power of faith is not very much, it is not worth the god of war Lang's divine power, but it is different when Cook comes, so the god of war conveyed the oracle for the first time, so that these orcs were surprised inexplicably, and a few old elders fainted with excitement, of course, these old elders are still very excited。
"Well, I can provide you with as much food as you need, but I need to borrow a piece of your land. "Cook saw these orcs, Cook believed in what is a Datong society, here, the tiger clan will not oppress other weak orcs, but will play a protective role, such a society, Cook has only heard of in legends, is the oldest orc tradition, not like in the plane of freedom, has become the kind of society that has become the law of the jungle.
Of course, this qiē has little to do with Cook, in fact, the free alliance established by Cook is also similar to a society like the orcs, Cook pays attention to the different division of labor, of course, there are still nobles and lows, but the status is not as disparity as other societies.
Of course, even the free alliance established by Cook does not have the fairness and justice of the Jedi, not that the system established by Cook is bad, but that these systems are supervised and implemented by intelligent beings, and in the process of such supervision and implementation, it is inevitable that there will be some bad situations, unless the implementation and supervision are a group of machine people, of course, even machine people will make mistakes, so there is no absolute fairness and justice in this world.
"Your Highness, this is our map of the Blackstone Wilderness, and we will lend it to you if you see it. "The Great Elder is a tortoiseshell man, his body is only a little more than a meter tall, and there are patches of yellow spots on his back and cheeks, just like a nail piece, of course, there is no shell behind the tortoiseshell man, this great elder is more than six hundred years old, he is the oldest person in the entire Black Stone Wilderness, and he is also the most intelligent, this wisdom is not learned, but has experienced a lot of things, so he will naturally know it.
Cook looked at the map given by the Great Elder, and Cook pointed and asked, "Is there anything strange about your Black Stone Wilderness?"
"There is no strange place, there is a dangerous place, in this place of the Black Stone Wilderness, there is a huge bottomless pit, the surrounding stone walls are straight, but the people or beasts that pass by there are easy to fall unconscious, of course, sometimes it will not, so once the coma passes, and then the beast comes, it is very dangerous, of course, if you are lucky, you will also get a lot of food, and the other is the Misty Stone Forest, this Misty Stone Forest is shrouded in white mist most of the time, as long as the creatures that go in have never appeared, and there is a place where the sun rises, there is a group of huge acid ants, once it enters the night, these acid ants will swarm out, attacking our people everywhere ....... The Great Elder pointed out the most dangerous places in the Black Rock Wilderness one by one, and Cook's eyes widened, and there were more than twenty dangerous places that the Great Elder said.
"Okay, for the sake of the god of war, I helped you explore these places, what kind of food do you need, and how much?" Cook was very curious about these places, why, because in these unknown places, there will be a chance to get good things, whether it is a centuries-old magic herb or a magic material.
"Your Highness, His Highness the God of War has sent down an oracle, and you can just give it as a reward. The High Priest replied with a smile.
"Damn. Cook scolded secretly, just like this statement is actually the most testing person, Cook is also distressed when he gives more, and he is a little embarrassed to give less, and people believe in themselves so much.
"Okay, okay, take me to see your food, and what's the time difference here?" Cook was speechless, Cook originally wanted to be lazy and give things directly, but for the sake of the face of the god of war, Cook is ready to give these orcs a way out, what is the way out, that is, it is better to teach people to fish than to teach people to fish, no matter what kind of environment, there is food to store, but the types of food are different, just like rice in the south, wheat and corn in the north, and planting the north, such as the Great Bear Country, that is potatoes, this is the difference in climate.
As a wood-based magician, a great grandmaster-level apothecary, and a plant cultivator who is proficient in tens of thousands of plants, it shouldn't be very difficult to solve the problem of orcs eating.
"The time difference here is half a year to half a year. Konstantin replied quickly.
"What does half a year mean for half a year?" Cook was confused, what did this Nima mean.
"That is, the day is always the day, which lasts for half a year, and the night is always the night, and it lasts for half a year. Konstantin explained carefully.
"Nima. "Cook finally knows why this place is called the wilderness, on such asteroids, the temperature difference between day and night is very large, because these asteroids do not have huge magma in them, so they are not insulated, and the temperature is extremely high during the day and very low at night.
Temperature is secondary, and what plants need to grow, water, half a year of the day, what kind of water is evaporated, and when the night comes, it will bring a lot of snowfall, yes, the evaporated water vapor meets extremely cold air, snowflakes are the most common, and hail is not nothing.
"I'll take a look first. Cook felt a little headache, yes, this is simply two extreme environments, even if it is an extreme environment, Cook can think of a way, but the two extreme environments are extremely harsh on the growth of plants, such plants are not nothing, but they are not suitable for food at all.
"What a big black stone. Cook saw that his eyes were full of huge black stones.
"Your Highness, don't touch these black stones, because they have an extremely high temperature. Konstantin spoke.
Cook nodded, black is easy to absorb heat, and such a long day, the temperature is naturally extremely high, Cook touched it, it can be said that the temperature of these stones has reached the temperature that can be used to cook food.
However, Cook didn't go far, Cook found a strange phenomenon, that is, the plants growing between the two black stones are a little strange, the strangeness here does not refer to the strange type of plants, but refers to the layout of the plants, according to Cook's understanding, those plants should be far away from the black stone, the temperature of the black stone is higher than the ground, but the result is different, the plants near the black stone grow the most vigorously, including some shrubs.
"Didn't you notice something wrong? Cook asked, pointing to the plants.
"Isn't that right?" The orcs who followed behind them quickly squeezed over when they heard Cook's question, and then looked at them carefully with wide eyes.
Cook was speechless when he saw such a scene, Cook's spiritual power was emanated, and the entire spiritual power slowly penetrated into these black stones, but Cook didn't find anything unusual about these stones, yes, the temperature of this stone was extremely high.
As for the communication plant, ahem, Cook didn't have that ability yet, so Cook asked again: "Is there any plant here that has the longest lifespan, preferably the one that has lived for a thousand years?"
"Your Highness, there is a shrub on the other side of the bottomless pit, which has been stored since I can remember, and has gone through countless years, and as for the year, I do not know. The tortoiseshell elder replied.
Cook asked again, "What about these plants?" Cook asked, pointing to the plants again.
"Most of these plants will freeze to death when darkness comes, and only a few plant roots near the rocks will grow again. Konstantin explained.
"There's something wrong with this black stone. When Cook heard this, he immediately said, yes, Cook felt that there was something wrong with this black stone at the beginning, but the specific problem was over there, and Cook didn't know.
Cook's spiritual power glanced into it again, but this black stone is an ordinary stone, and the ordinary stone contains some metal components in it, but this black stone is a pure stone.
"What's the problem?" Cook kept thinking in his head, looking at the plants and the black stones, Cook always felt that he had discovered something, but he just didn't grasp the clue.
"Plants...... Freeze to death...... The root system grows again, I understand. "Cook suddenly understood, yes.
The closer to the black stone, the more plants, which means that the more people do not freeze to death, so that means that the black market blocks the cold, so what is the source of this black stone, that is, the heat absorbed during the day, and these black stones do not contain any metal components, which is precisely the best way to maintain temperature, because the conductivity of metal is the best in nature, that is to say, the conduction of heat is also the best.
"Haha, there's a way, I need a lot of manpower, a lot of manpower. Cook looked at the black stone in his eyes and had a great idea, to build a huge black city to resist the cold of the night, this black city can be used during the day, and it is a refuge at night, of course, you can also grow some plants in it, collect plants to grow mushrooms.
"And what about the water here?" asked Cook with another question.
