Chapter 52 Territorial Situation
In addition to these alchemy devices, there are several improvised and giant alchemy pot stoves.
These things have a simple structure, a heated magic array below, and an ordinary giant cauldron on top.
They weren't prepared for cooking, but to make the most of the salt pit found in the mines, specifically for burning salt.
With these cauldrons, you can get more than one ton of edible salt every day on average.
Not only did it fully satisfy the use of thousands of troops, but there was also a lot left, which could be used to make cured meat.
The small fleet led by Long Pao Ji returned with a full load every time, and only a small part of the large amount of meat was eaten, and the rest was pickled and kept as a food reserve.
In fact, if you can eat it all, but for the sake of long-term planning, it is better to use moss to satisfy the cave people, and a little meat is enough to satisfy them.
The leftover cured meat can be stored for a long time and can be used as military rations for emergencies.
In fact, if he could, Emperor Shi Tian would like to fill the territory of Danmaku Ji with all kinds of alchemy equipment, so that a large industrial area could be formed.
But alas, this is obviously not going to happen.
Because alchemy equipment also needs energy, energy is magic.
Each alchemy device requires a lot of mana, consuming hundreds, or even thousands, every day.
More than 20 alchemy equipment add up, and it almost consumes more than 20,000 magic points every day.
Although the mana pool in the territory of the barrage Ji has nearly 100,000 or so mana points, that is the total reserve, and the number of recoveries per day is only about 20,000, and the average amount of mana recovered per hour is 800 to 1,000 points.
The specific amount of recovery is related to the mana concentration of the territory.
Mana is a bit like a tide, sometimes more and sometimes less, although the difference is not big, but it is reflected in the recovery of the mana pool, it is still obvious.
Through this incident, Emperor Shi Tian also began to pay attention to the collection of magic power, and for this reason, he did not hesitate to increase the cultivation of magic moss.
He planned to plant as much magic moss as he could in the idle land of the three realms, so that he could gain a huge amount of magic power and expand his industrial production at that time.
Emperor Shi Tian understood that in the divine realm, magic is energy, and energy is everything, production, and fighting are inseparable, so the more the better.
As for the storage and utilization of magic power, Emperor Shi Tian also has a little bit of a spectrum, and has already begun to prepare.
In addition to the energy problem of magic, there is also the problem of talent that drags down the industrialization process of Emperor Shitian.
Alchemy equipment is not available to everyone, as it requires mental power and a certain level of proficiency to control it.
Proficiency can be trained, but mental talent can only be determined by luck.
Generally speaking, in addition to the obvious talents on the record, humans have three hidden talents, which are mental talents, IQ, and elemental affinity.
If you have all three of these talents, then congratulations, you are qualified to become one in a million people, the Master of the Magician, referred to as the Master of the Law.
But the requirements of the Dharma Master are too high, and the vast majority of people cannot reach this level.
However, the requirements for other professions are relatively low.
For example, if you only have spiritual power, then congratulations, you can become a priest of a certain god, as long as your spiritual power can communicate with the god you believe in, then you can practice holy power and release divine magic through prayer.
And if you only have elemental affinity, then you have more options, shamans who can communicate with ancestral souls, and warlocks who specialize in using the power of bloodlines, all require a single elemental affinity to be enough to take office.
In general, depending on the race, the probability of these three hidden talents appearing is also different, most have one or two talents, and there are still too few and too few of all three talents.
Emperor Shi Tian has three subhuman races here, and after some selection and testing, it turned out that the person with a relatively high spiritual talent turned out to be a goblin.
After testing everyone, the barrage Ji barely found the lucky ones who could control these alchemy equipment and had a certain mental talent.
Among them, half of them are goblins, thirty percent are kobolds, and only two percent of the cave people are pitiful!
Finally, there is the territory of the Dragon Cannon Queen, which is also thriving.
3,000 cave people and 500 goblins are the support of the dragon cannon queen, and this number is still expanding rapidly.
Among the cave people, there are about 1,000 craftsmen, who are responsible for the production and maintenance of small boats, as well as various other supplies.
Another 2,000 were warriors, half of whom were used for hunting and the other half were responsible for training.
They alternate with each other, taking turns to use the boats, which maximizes the efficiency of the use of the boats, so to speak, people do not stop boats, either hunting or on the way to hunting.
Arguably, the Cavemen warriors here are the most warlike, and almost every one of them has been through a hundred battles.
Of course, it is impossible to fight without death, and despite the protection of the dragon cannon and the advantage of firepower, there are still a lot of casualties in the face of the strange swamp.
On average, more than 10 people died every day, and at most more than 200 people died in one day.
There is no way around it, and as you go deeper into the swamp, you will encounter more and more dangers and strange events!
That time, more than 200 people died, because they strayed into a strange insect nest.
It was a kind of grasshopper that jumped up, only an inch long, jumped on the skin, and burrowed into it to suck blood.
These creatures usually hide beneath the surface of the water without making a sound, and when a living creature passes over the water, they will suddenly attack at the same time.
The number of these guys should be said to be in the millions, and suddenly jumping up is like a layer of dark clouds, unable to dodge, unable to escape.
More than 200 cave warriors lasted less than ten seconds before they were all sucked into human dry.
The dragon cannon Ji herself was almost lost, but fortunately, the bronze dragon rescued her.
And after suffering such a big loss, Long Pao Ji had no choice but to hold his breath and escape.
Guns are powerful, but can they be used against small insects that are only an inch long?
The bronze dragon certainly has dragon breath, but his life level is too low to squirt a few breaths at all.
In the face of the overwhelming locusts, a few mouthfuls of dragon breath are not enough for people to stuff their teeth.
Therefore, even if Long Pao Ji is unwilling, he can only run away, and he doesn't even have the courage to stay and fight with others.
And after such a thing, Long Pao Ji also became a lot more cautious, and there was no such a big casualty accident in the future.
However, sporadic casualties are still unavoidable, mainly because the marshes are too diverse and dangerous.
For example, there is a small snake that spews venom, hidden in the grass, completely invisible, and when you pass by, a mouthful of venom spews out, with the poor constitution of the cave people, it is really who gets stained and who dies.
This kind of creature has brought hundreds of casualties to the dragon cannon after that, but so far, there is still no way to avoid it, at most it is to stay away from the grass to avoid danger.
However, in the swamp, there is a lot of grass, and many times it is unavoidable, and casualties are inevitable.
Therefore, don't look at the swamp is the place where Emperor Shi Tian currently harvests the most law coins, but in fact, he has paid a lot of sacrifices.
Normally, the swamp is not a good place to gather resources, and other students will definitely not look down on it, and even hide when they see it.
But Emperor Shi Tian had no choice, who told him that there was such a place in the three territories that could harvest law coins for a long time?
However, the swamps are dangerous, but they also have a lot of resources.
Because the swamp has water, the silt is rich in nutrients, and the aquatic plants are luxuriant, providing more food than the meadow.
In particular, this inaccessible marshland is rich in products.
Hundreds of small boats go out, and they can come back in about ten hours, and each time they can return with a full load.
In addition to cave people, goblins are also busy, in addition to cooking for everyone, they are also responsible for handling meat, cutting, washing, cooking, pickling, all of which are their jobs.
At this time, I have to say how perverted Emperor Shitian's ability is.
The goblin race, although the brain belongs to the relatively intelligent one, but at the beginning, it was a blank slate.
Trying to teach them how to handle food in a complex way doesn't happen overnight.
If you change the lord and just train these guys to work, you don't know how much time, energy and manpower it will take, and at least you will have to train them for a year or two before you can achieve initial results.
But when it comes to Emperor Shitian, as long as he finds the corresponding skills from the fire of wisdom and copies them, he can immediately teach these goblins, and each skill is guaranteed to be master-level.
For example, peeling, without certain skills and long-term training, there is absolutely no way to peel off the whole skin.
And after these goblins were instilled with memories and skills by Emperor Shitian, they could completely peel off the skin of their prey without wasting anything.
And the cured meat is also very good, neatly cut, fat and thin, no more or no less salt smeared, after air drying, the color is gorgeous, with a faint fragrance.
Emperor Shi Tiandi and they all tasted a few pieces, and the taste was very good.
This kind of cured meat is a craft that has been mastered for decades, and Emperor Shi Tiandi only used a moment of effort to train the goblin who didn't know anything into a master.
Maybe this ability has not improved its own combat power, but in terms of territory construction, it can really only be described as going against the sky.
And this is just the beginning, as the territory expands, more and more craftsmen will be needed.
For example, clothmakers who weave cloth, but also tailors who make clothes, tanners, blacksmiths, goldsmiths and silversmiths, and even midwives.
These skilled people don't usually see anything, but they are essential at critical moments.
The larger the territory and the larger the population, the higher the demand for artisans from all walks of life.
If it weren't for the ability of Emperor Shitian's Wisdom Fire, then Emperor Shitian wouldn't dare to imagine that with his own three waste troops, where would he get so many craftsmen to come out?
If they only rely on their own cultivation, Emperor Shi Tian and they probably won't need to do anything else for a few years, and it is not enough to teach these fools a lesson.
