Chapter 121 Iron Dog Transport
Just after the earth cultivators here were ready, Emperor Shi Tian flew over in person, without any nonsense, and directly raised his hand and waved.
The next moment, a huge door of light appeared out of thin air in the woods, three zhang wide and nine zhang high, and behind the door frame was a pitch-black world.
Then, Emperor Shi Tian directly ordered: "Start acting!"
"Yes!" an earth monk immediately agreed, and then he picked up the earth spirit bead in his hand with both hands and began to perform the earth control technique.
Under his control, the earth slowly heaved, and the earth on the surface began to surge, enveloping the roots of the fruit tree and the entire fruit tree, and automatically flowing towards the portal.
One fruit tree after another was transported by a large cloud of dirt, but it did not block the portal.
Because on the other side of the portal, there is also an earth monk answering it.
Whenever a fruit tree was carried in by the dirt, he immediately took over the control, allowing the dirt to flow to the side of the fruit tree, making way for the space behind the portal to facilitate the transportation of the fruit tree.
The fruit trees that had been put aside were immediately taken over by the cave people who had been waiting for a long time, and they lifted the fruit trees with all their hands, put them on a four-wheeled cart, and carried them to a short distance.
A large pit had already been dug and covered with fertile soil, and when the fruit trees arrived, a dozen cavemen rushed to plant it here.
After planting, they did not forget to water it with the water they brought to prevent the trees from dying.
Each cave man monk can transport a dozen fruit trees, and then he will run out of mana and have to stop to eat and rest.
But they were soon replaced by other earth-based monks, so the work did not stop.
In this way, the monks in the caves on both sides of the portal had to work hard, and in just one hour, two or three hundred fruit trees were transplanted.
Although the monks on both sides were very tired, everyone was still full of satisfaction when they saw that there were two or three hundred more huge fruit trees that radiated brilliance in the dark world.
However, the fact that the fruit trees have been planted does not mean that the matter is over, in fact, the real trouble has just begun.
Because in this damn new world, there really isn't much water, not only the surface water, but even the moisture in the air is extremely scarce.
So this is a very embarrassing thing, plants need water to grow, especially fruit trees, without water, they will definitely dry up.
However, although Yaslian had built some source altars that consumed mana to obtain Sister Qing's water source, she had to face a very embarrassing problem.
That is, the water content in the air is too low, so that the clear water will evaporate quickly as soon as it appears.
The altar built by Yaslian looks like a pool of water, which can produce about 100 square meters of water every day, and it needs to consume 500 magic points.
The consumption of mana is good to say, the key is that only 30 squares of water can be used at most, and the other 70 squares have evaporated into the air.
And these fruit trees need to absorb hundreds of kilograms of water every day to survive, and counting the efficiency of evaporation and land absorption, at least 500 kilograms of water must be handed over to him to ensure their survival.
More than 200 trees means that more than 100 tons of water are consumed every day.
Yaslian had provided enough for the altar of the source, but how could she transport the water under the tree?
Ditching irrigation is not a thought of before the water has flowed through it, and it will surely seep into the parched land.
Therefore, it is necessary to use manpower to pour buckets by bucket, and transport 500 kilograms of water with the small body of the cave people, which is definitely an extremely physically demanding thing.
Eventually, Emperor Shakti even had to set up some four-wheeled carts here to help carry water, and hundreds of cave people waited on him to barely keep the trees alive.
By the time the thousands of trees have arrived, the number of cave people waiting for them will reach more than 500, and just thinking about it will give him a headache.
However, Emperor Shi Tian actually understood in his heart that the current difficulties were only temporary.
Because the moisture in the air will definitely continue to increase, although it will also spread to the surrounding area, but as long as the supply of clean water is guaranteed, then at least in this area can ensure the moisture content of the air.
As long as the moisture content of the surrounding air is maintained to a certain level, the evaporation of the water will not be so high, and it may even rain.
In order to ensure that enough evaporated water is provided, Emperor Shi Tian also deliberately chose a place where several special source altars were built, and these altars gushed out seawater, and the amount of water was extremely large, adding up to tens of thousands of tons every day.
Emperor Shakti didn't care how they flowed, anyway, he built the altars a little higher, and let them pour water into the surrounding land.
Only a few days later, Emperor Shakti came back and was shocked to find that a thick layer of salt had been laid on the ground near the altar.
There was still a lot of water around, but there wasn't a lake or anything like that, because almost all the water had evaporated.
But the effect is still obvious, Emperor Shi Tian can clearly feel that the air in this area is no longer so dry, and there is some moisture in the air.
This range has already affected a radius of several kilometers, and if he is given enough time, the humid air environment will definitely expand.
As for now, Emperor Shi Tian can be regarded as having the first harvest, that is, a large amount of sea salt.
At his command, hundreds of cave people came with several carts, and they would knock down the salt and load it in the carts and transport it back.
Although it is inedible coarse salt, if it is processed more finely, it can be turned into refined salt for everyone's consumption.
With this natural salt drying place, Emperor Shi Tian directly stopped the small salt field in the territory of the barrage Ji.
Now the territory of Danmaku Ji is not only not as barren as the territory of Emperor Shitian, but has become more prosperous.
Not only has the number of kobolds, cave people, and goblin miners increased to more than 5,000, but most importantly, the first batch of Crazy Iron Dogs has finally appeared here, and the number has reached a thousand!
After a careful transformation by Emperor Shitian, the current crazy iron dog has completely dispelled its original ferocity and has become intelligent and diligent.
They generally weigh more than 500 kilograms, and these big guys, who are more than a meter tall, are as strong as calves, but they are much more powerful than calves.
Crazy Iron Dog now takes on the role of a camel beast, not a warrior.
Each crazy iron dog has two large baskets on its back, which contain two or three hundred kilograms of iron ore, and then they can pass at a very fast speed on the iron ore with complex terrain.
They don't need anyone to command them at all, they know where to go.
Once there, these crazy iron dogs don't even need help, they just need to roll over on the iron ore pile, and they can dump all the iron ore in the basket on their backs.
Then they would return to the iron ore with empty baskets, where miners would wait for them to fill their baskets with iron ore.
In fact, the most laborious part of the job of mining iron ore is not the process of mining, but the process of transportation.
This is especially true for Emperor Shitian, the iron ore is all turned out by the earth mages and earth element avengers with the power of magic, and they can be loaded away directly, and there is no need to mine it effortlessly.
But it is precisely because of the use of magical power mining that it leads to a more embarrassing problem, that is, the ground is full of potholes, and there is no road to walk at all.
As a result, even the carts that normally transport ore cannot pass, so they can only rely on manual transportation.
However, the three major arms under Emperor Shi Tian are all waste at the bottom, and their strength is lower than the other.
Even the most capable kobolds can carry up to 20 kilograms of ore per person.
But what is this ore enough for? If you want to get together a ton, you have to carry it 50 times.
The kobold themselves are slow, and they are even slower when they carry heavy ore on their backs, and there is no road, so they can only walk through potholed iron mines, which further reduces their speed.
From the pit to the place where the iron ore is collected, there are two or three kilometers of road, although it doesn't seem like much, but when you meet the three types of soldiers, it is really like a long march, and they can walk you for an hour!
This shows how low the efficiency of these guys is.
Even if there are 5,000 people in this mine, it will not produce many tons of iron ore in a day just by counting on them to transport them.
However, with the Crazy Iron Dog, it is completely different, not only does it have more than ten times the loading capacity of the Kobold, but it is more than twice as fast as the Kobold.
This has increased the overall transportation efficiency of iron ore by dozens of times.
So much so that after a thousand Crazy Iron Dogs are stationed in the iron mine, they no longer need to transport those three waste troops, as long as they are responsible for helping Crazy Iron Dogs load ore in the mine.
The sharp increase in iron ore production has brought a lot of happy troubles to Danmaku.
The first is that the steel-making furnaces in her territory are completely insufficient, even if all the magic power is used to make steel, there is no way to consume so much iron ore.
Therefore, every once in a while, Emperor Shi Tian had to come here in person and use the wine pot to suck the mountain of iron ore into the wine pot cave.
Then these iron ores were sent to two places, one place was the Hualong Pool, don't look at it as just a small pool, but no matter how much iron ore was thrown in, it could not be filled.
Of course, while throwing in iron ore, Danmaku Ji also put a lot of magic water into it, which was used to produce Crazy Iron Dogs.
With sufficient resources, the production efficiency of Hualong Pond has reached a jaw-dropping level.
Anyway, to put it simply, every moment there are crazy iron dogs like puppies coming out of the pool, and then they stand together in an orderly manner, waiting for distribution.
