Chapter 22 Mo Lan's Proposal
A special chemical worker ant walked out with a bamboo tube for humidifying the incubation room in its jaws.
Under Long Bai's guidance, Mo Lan picked up the kettle with her claws and poured the hot water into the bamboo tube.
"Mo Lan, try it!"
Long Bai greeted and reminded: "Be careful, it's hot."
"Wow! Wow! Wow!"
"Hot water!"
"It's amazing!"
"Long Bai, you know too much!"
Mo Lan buried her head and tried to lick it, and there was another long series of cheers and exclamations.
"Longbai, what else? What other functions do you have?"
"The other way is to turn water into ice cubes. The method is similar. You need to make water first, and then press the button with the snowflake pattern."
Long Bai guides.
Mo Lan poured out the hot water, closed the lid, re-injected the force to create water, pressed the button, and continued to inject the force.
Open it again.
Inside the pot is a whole block of ice. When the pot is turned over, round ice cubes about 1 cm thick fall out.
"When making water, the blue halo at the mouth of the pot indicates the amount of water being made. One circle of halo means the pot is full, half circle of halo means the pot is half full, and so on..."
Long Bai explained in detail, paused, and asked: "Mo Lan, where did you find this 'ice and fire kettle'? Did you find the starship wreckage?"
"No..."
Mo Lan picked up the kettle filled with ice cubes and looked at it curiously, and said: "This time I did not go straight south against the divine barrier, but searched in a zigzag line. Then I found a big river. I was curious about where the river came from, so I
Flying against the river bank, I noticed something shining in the fallen grass on the river beach. I went up to check it out, and then dug it out."
Long Bai: "..."
Those were probably single pieces scattered from the starship that fell to the ground from the sky.
Thousands of years have passed, and the normal situation should be that it should be buried deep underground.
Maybe it’s because the empty pot is so light that it rarely sinks into the ground.
Molan must have been blessed by the God of Nature, so she can always find good things.
"Long Bai, you should also try the hot water."
Mo Lan happily drank the hot water in the bamboo tube, picked up the ice and fire kettle, and poured a bamboo tube into Long Bai.
Long Bai took a sip and said leisurely: "This pot has other wonderful uses. Mo Lan, use your brain to think about it."
Mo Lan: "If it's cold in winter, drink hot water. If it's hot in summer, drink ice water."
"This..."
Long Bai: "This is a basic usage that you can think of with your tentacles. It's not a magic trick. Think about it with your brain."
Mo Lan: "I've thought about it, but I can't think of it. Long Bai, just tell me."
"Okay~"
Long Bai sorted out his words and said: "There are not many kettles made from ice and fire. Back then, backpacks in several warehouses were found, with the number exceeding 10,000, and each backpack was equipped with such a kettle."
"Some clever insects quickly figured out how to make a kettle from ice and fire, and then spread it quickly, attracting powerful and wealthy insect kings and lords to rush to buy it. After that, they were passed down from generation to generation.
To this day, most of them are still controlled by the insect king and lords."
"As time goes by, things become more and more valuable. I am reluctant to use them casually. I am afraid that they will be damaged if they are used too many times. I only take them out and use them when entertaining distinguished guests."
"If it's hot summer, just chop up all kinds of delicious fruits and put them in, add a little honey, and freeze them. The ice cubes will be cool, sweet and delicious to eat."
"Luo Quinoa was cooked for me once, and I will never forget the taste."
"If it is spring, autumn, or cold winter, make hot water and add a few tea leaves or dried flowers that can retain the aroma. It will also taste delicious."
Long Bai said: "Once insects become rich, they begin to care about the taste of food and pay attention to dignity."
Mo Lan digested and understood for a while, then asked: "Long Bai, are we considered rich insects?"
Long Bai: "Being rich means having Force food to eat every day. There is too much Force food to eat, so sell it and exchange it for raw stones and store it in the treasury, so the inventory is full."
"Oh——"
Mo Lan: "Then we are very poor now?"
Long Bai shook his tentacles, noncommittal.
Mo Lan asked: "How much raw stone can a kettle made from ice and fire be worth?"
Long Bai: "The outer coating is gone, so the price will drop. Things are rare and expensive. Although the kettle made of ice and fire is magical and has practical functions, it is so numerous that it is no longer rare, so it cannot be sold at a high price."
Long Bai: "It's probably worth seven or eight thousand rough stones."
"Seven to eight thousand rough stones? The orchid seeds produced by my fruity orchid god-given seed every year are only worth 1,540 rough stones?"
Mo Lan said happily: "That's a lot! If you sell it and replace it with force food..."
"If I sell it and exchange it for force food, the time it takes me to advance from an intermediate warrior to a high-level warrior will be greatly reduced. Long Bai, you can also quickly be promoted to an intermediate ant king."
"After I become a high-level warrior, the fruit orchid god-given seeds will be divided again, and the yield and quality will increase. In addition, as I continue to breed and sow life seeds, the income from ordinary life seeds will also increase. The harvest of my territory will increase significantly every year
."
"The same goes for you, Long Bai. After you are promoted to the intermediate ant king, you can cultivate more and stronger worker ants and soldier ants. If you can breed and sow the blue god-given seeds as soon as possible, the output of your territory will skyrocket."
"There are so many benefits!"
Long Bai: "???"
This is completely inconsistent with Mo Lan's usual behavior.
Long Bai felt incredible when he heard this, and asked curiously: "Mo Lan, are you planning to sell the ice and fire kettle?"
Mo Lan: "I don't plan to..."
Mo Lan suggested: "Long Bai, don't dig the pond yet. Let's search deep into the continent together. We will definitely find another one... If we find it, sell it! Let's share the harvest equally!"
"Uh-"
Long Bai was speechless and choked.
You are such a little elf.
I almost thought you suddenly enlightened, changed your nature, and became smarter.
By saying so much, it turns out that you are encouraging me to go treasure hunting with you.
Long Bai thought about it carefully and found that Mo Lan's proposal was quite good.
First of all, although the special chemical worker ants are big, they are only semi-Force life forms corresponding to the primary ant king level. They are very weak and cannot tolerate cold. They are unable to work in cold and rainy days. If the temperature drops in a few days, they may simply go on strike.
Done.
It's better to be a good king and arrange for them to go back to the ant nest for a vacation.
Secondly, all Force creatures need to rely on the Force environment to survive. Without the Force, they will be exhausted and weak, and may even die in serious cases. On the Cloud Trail Continent, going deep into the Force vacuum, most of them have not been searched. And the Throne of Control
It can store a large amount of force and can assist in replenishing force, which can perfectly solve this problem.
Relying on the throne of control, he and Mo Lan have the ability to explore the depths of Yunji Continent.
Mo Lan was moved when she saw Long Bai, and she reasoned:
"Long Bai, you are already three years old. In two years you will begin to enter old age. You must quickly evolve into an intermediate ant king."
"Also, Long Bai, didn't you say that in the future, when we evolve into advanced warriors, we will no longer be afraid of attacks from the ant kingdom in the Ten Thousand Kingdoms Continent next door? We must seize the time to advance to advanced warriors."
"Also, Long Bai, it's what you said too. Although there is Force near the divine barrier, the abundance is not enough, so it is impossible for a god-given seed to be born. You need a place with abundant Force like the Continent of Ten Thousand Races and the Continent of Ten Thousand Nations.
There is a slim chance. We don’t dare to go to the Ten Thousand Kingdoms Continent. Therefore, we can only search here in the Yunji Continent. When we go out, we are not only looking for the creations of extraterrestrial civilizations, but we can also look for other places like mountain territories that are extremely rich in force along the way.
Place..."
Usually Long Bai talks and Mo Lan listens.
It turns out that Mo Lan can be so nagging, much more ruthless than Long Bai.
"Mo Lan, you are right, there is no urgent need for biogas pools and pools at the moment."
