It is difficult to go wrong with short-term logical judgments based on multiple evidences. The robbers separated a group of people and took them more than ten kilometers away. They said this was the location beside a dense forest and swamp.

In the previous Q&A stage, the hunters said that there was only a small stream that often broke off next to their camp, which was a typical mountain feature.

This does not mean that there are no creeks on the flat land, but if the nearby creeks on the flat land will stop flowing, the main source of water should be well water, which can at least ensure a continuous supply. In addition, in seasons with heavy rainfall, the turbidity of the well water will be certain.

lower.

Li Xiang had nothing to do on the way, so he drew the terrain he saw from the air. It was basically certain that their camp was one of the two mountains, about 7 kilometers and 9 kilometers away from the designated point.

Extrapolating from the distance also proves Wang Qi's judgment that the harvest work should be handed over to women and children to save strong labor.

Anyway, there was nothing to use this group of people, so they didn't need to pay too much attention to it no matter what they considered. Wang Qi asked the Eight King Kongs to throw some dead wood and stones to confirm the general boundaries of the swamp, then directly planted the trees and added a special effect.

Wang Qi and Li Xiang both learned a lot of special-effect spells. Most of these spells lacked practical effects, and many of them were created to assist mages in showing off their results.

The saplings with special effects are developing rapidly and will emit a ball of colorful light when they branch.

The high-speed development will cover up the fact of the "special effect spell" and make people think it is a divine spell. After all, it is difficult for real species, even magic plants, to reach the development speed of the sacred tree saplings.

Outsiders exclaimed repeatedly when they saw it, but everyone inside was very calm.

The main feature of this version is "camouflage", but it also needs to remain functional.

The disguise Wang Qi chose was the banyan tree.

The term "one tree becomes a forest" refers to the banyan tree, which is a killer plant with two killing modes.

The first is strangulation. The parasitic form in the larval stage will climb up the tree trunk like a vine and climb to a position with light on the crown. Once photosynthesis begins, strangulation will start. The larval growth process will directly strangle the larvae.

host.

The second type is forest growth. The aerial roots growing from the branches develop into new tree trunks, bypassing the low growth stage and directly obtaining the support of the new crown and grabbing a larger lighting area.

This development pattern that directly robs light from above makes it difficult for any other large or small trees below the banyan tree to survive, and the existing trees will die and decay sooner or later.

The same development steps are followed at the site, except that the rooting and deflation are faster, and the lateral spread begins before the main body becomes arborized.

The state of the ground has little to do with the banyan tree.

Drawing on the development experience of the giant sacred tree, this tree also has an aquatic root system, which directly uses humus and mineral nutrients in the water body.

From the perspective of a survivor, its underwater root system will purify the swamp and kill all the aquatic plants in the root coverage area sooner or later. From an environmental perspective, it is obviously an environmental killer.

There are three types of outputs.

One is water purification, which will be directly surrounded by wooden circles in the underwater part to form a purification pool; the second is syrup, which is the modified sugar product of the outpost tree. The specific gravity of sugar and water can reach more than 50%.

It no longer directly produces sugar water; the third type is a nut with a structure similar to that of walnuts, but it is peanut-flavored, because Wang Qi does not know the source of the characteristic flavor of walnuts, and has not tried "small-scale limited variation". It may be

He recalled that walnuts may not have any characteristic flavor at all.

The product is basically the same as the adjusted outpost tree, except that the tree shape has been changed to make it more ordinary.

The ordinary shape of the tree does not mean low productivity. In the banyan tree mode, if it is fully developed by connecting the artifact seeds, the total lighting area will actually be larger than that of the outpost tree. When the nutrients below are sufficient, it can support hundreds of people in continuous operations.

There is no trust between the two parties now, and the other party has not explained how many people there are. Naturally, they do not plan to develop to that level. It is enough to hang their lives for more than a hundred people.

Wang Qi also thought about whether to make some changes, such as not producing sugar but mainly producing starchy fruits... that is, potatoes growing on trees.

This option was naturally eliminated because for plants, sugar production is directly from photosynthesis, and starch production requires an additional processing step.

If the plant itself makes the reserve, sugar will affect the osmotic pressure and it is difficult to reach a high concentration in the living body. It is not as good as starch to store the total amount, which can be used for external supply. There is no need to bother and consume more fertilizer, just put the sugar directly in the plant.

The special organ nodes are divided into secrets to recover some of the water and that's it.

As for starchy nuts, they have a large proportion of vegetable oil and their caloric density is no lower than that of sugar after drying. They are also good portable foods, and the oil can be squeezed for other uses.

Speaking of nuts, a lot of experiments have been done on the Wangting tree and many outpost trees, and many versions have been produced.

Wang Qi's personal favorite is Yandao's version - fresh salty nuts.

Solaris saplings have a certain tolerance to salt-alkali, but they do not need sodium ions to participate in their growth. In addition to the salt crystals precipitated from the bark, it is natural to think of storing excess salt directly in the fruit. After a little drying, no need

With any additional processing, the taste is similar to salt-baked pistachios, but larger.

Except for individual types due to regional characteristics, nuts in other regions differ in three major aspects: starch ratio, taste, and oil ratio.

The walnut-shaped nuts used in the tree in front of me are specialized in oil and are mainly used for storage and oil extraction. Those sold directly to the civilian market tend to have better taste. For example, chestnut-shaped nuts sell best.

After planting the tree, he watched it for a while with a group of people who had never seen the world. They didn't notice the unexpected situation that affected the development. Wang Qi was already annoyed by mosquitoes, so he asked Akeem to lead someone to guard the tree, and he and the others went far away.

Find a place to camp where there are few mosquitoes.

The swamp area is a "miasma" area, and the mosquitoes here are not counted in groups, but just swipe a mosquito net anywhere and you can make a insect cake!

Hiss...should we simply suggest that these people eat bugs?

...Forget it, unlike fishing nets, which can be made by hand using local materials, this thing cannot be made by hand without gauze. If the mesh is slightly larger, it will not be enough to pancake. In addition, it is unethical to give this kind of advice, in case it is not made.

One malaria outbreak and this group of people was gone.

We have to set up camp here. Magic has a special mosquito repellent spell... all mages learn it when they have nothing to do. Wang Qi and Li Xiang are just beginners and haven't had time to dabble in such weird things.

If they want to prevent mosquitoes, they must either use magic shields directly, or they can only use conventional methods.

The magic shield that blocks mosquitoes is too outrageous. Even Li Xiang cannot maintain a large area of ​​​​shield by himself.

Still smokey and reliable.

I found a piece of flat land far away from the water body, burned the grass, and waited until the fire was extinguished and the insects were almost gone. The wet floor was also a little dry. I let the Eight King Kongs step on it to compact the plant ash and soil before setting up the tent.

Therefore, magicians are not omnipotent. For a camping job like this, all spells must be used. It would take at least four or five spells to do it. How many years would it take to learn it?
