Chapter 19 Planting Lotus (2)

() Zhang Tie was overjoyed when he heard that flaming red lotuses could be planted in the Castle of Black Iron. In any case, having one more hole card and one more resource in his hand is a great thing for him. good thing.

Zhang Tie suddenly thought of another question, "How long does it take for the flaming red lotus to mature after planting?"

"The growth cycle of silicon-based plants is very long. It usually takes more than 60 years for a flaming red lotus seed to bloom and bear fruit, and then ripen the fruit!"

Hearing this answer, Zhang Tie's smile froze on his face, but Heller didn't finish his sentence.

"However, if you are willing to put a lot of spiritual energy into this plant, you can greatly speed up its growth cycle, and it can mature within half a year at the earliest. With the current supply level of spiritual energy in Black Iron Fortress, it will Putting all the spiritual energy into a lotus seed of a flaming red lotus, it can mature in about two years!"

Zhang Tie thought for a while. The aura value of the Black Iron Fortress seemed to have the effect of accelerating the growth of plants. He did not expect that this effect of aura value was also effective for the flame red lotus.

"Can we now use the space and terrain transformation functions of the Black Iron Fortress to create an underground environment suitable for the growth of the flame red lotus?"

"Yes, the basic energy reserves accumulated by Lord Fortress when he was in Qianlong Island can still support a small-scale space and terrain creation of the crypt layer!"

Hearing such an answer, Zhang Tie did not wait for a second, and directly called up the management panel of Black Iron Castle in the laboratory, and clicked the "Space and Terrain Creation" button in the menu bar of the panel Finally, three familiar sub-category menus suddenly appeared in front of Zhang Tie.

- surface layer options

- Crypt Layer Options

- underwater layer option

Zhang Tie directly clicked on the Crypt layer option, and in an instant, a three-dimensional image including the underground section of the Black Iron Fort appeared in front of Zhang Tie.

After owning the Black Iron Fort, Zhang Tie saw the whole picture of the underground world of the Black Iron Fort for the first time.

The entire Black Iron Fort, in this three-dimensional image, is completely a cube. The depth and thickness of the Black Iron Fort's underground is almost 800 meters deep, which is exactly the same as the surface area of ​​the Black Iron Fort in terms of length and width.

A little different is the 300-acre freshwater lake that Heller added to the original area of ​​the Black Iron Fort.

In this holographic three-dimensional graphic including the underground structure of the Black Iron Fortress, Zhang Tie saw the depth of the soil layer and rock layer below the freshwater lake, which was only tens of meters deep, compared with other places in the "original" version of the Black Iron Fortress. In general, the thickness of the ground floor of the newly added land area is very thin.

"What's going on here? Why is the thickness of the underground layer here different from other places?" Zhang Tie asked Heller.

"This is the default thickness of the soil and the underground layer when using the space and terrain creation functions of the surface layer of the Black Iron Castle. If the thickness here is the same as other places, you probably haven't saved enough energy yet. Reserve!" Heller explained, "For creatures living on the surface, a too thick underground layer is meaningless, it is purely a waste of basic energy reserves!"

"If I need the underground layer under this lake to be deeper, can it be the same as other places?"

"Master Castle Master, you can try it. As long as you have enough energy reserves, there is no limit to the expansion of the entire Black Iron Castle, whether it is the expansion of the surface area or the extension of the underground layer. If your basic energy is sufficient, you will let the entire Black Iron Castle It’s not a problem if the thickness of the underground layer in any part of the Iron Fortress extends over one million kilometers, and the space and terrain structure of the entire Black Iron Fortress are like a blank sheet of paper to you at any time!”

Zhang Tie nodded, and secretly sighed in his heart. With this function alone, the Black Iron Fort's demand for basic energy reserves is almost endless. Even if he has the ability to suck up all the sea water in a sea, the Black Iron Fort It can also easily consume those basic energy completely. It seems that increasing the basic energy reserve is really a long-term task, and one cannot relax at all.

Looking at the underground of the Black Iron Fortress, Zhang Tie didn't talk nonsense, and directly projected the cave landforms of part of the underground floor of the Dragon Cave on the island that he still had in his mind and the environment he imagined planting flaming red lotuses to that place. On the three-dimensional hologram, after several adjustments and considerations about the current basic energy reserves of the Black Iron Fortress, a rough image of the crypt layer appeared on the three-dimensional hologram.

The entrance to the crypt layer is located in the middle of the Black Iron Fortress on the south side, only a hundred meters away from where Zhang Tie is now. It is located in a pine forest. Shanbao, a cave that extends downward in a spiral shape like a staircase goes deep into the ground to a depth of 100 meters.

At the end of the cave, Zhang Tie opened up an underground karst cave space half the size of a football field. On the ground of the space, there are two irregularly shaped magma lakes the size of a basketball court. The magma-filled gully connects the magma lake.

"The color of the magma lake is too white, and the temperature of this kind of magma is too high. The temperature of the magma suitable for the growth of the flame red lotus should not exceed 800 degrees Celsius!" Haile, who had been watching from the side, said while skillfully doing the three-dimensional hologram After a bit of manipulation, Zhang Tie saw that he had turned the color of the magma a little redder, and Heller didn't stop until the picture showed a magma temperature of 617 degrees Celsius.

After doing all this, Heller nodded.

——The completeness of the details of the crypt layer created by the castle master is lower than 8. Is the system allowed to use the random law of natural creation to make up for the construction of other missing parts? When the system is activated and the natural law of creation is completed, the castle master can make adjustments manually!

--agree Disagree

Zhang Tie chose to agree.

In just an instant, all the fuzzy details created by the underground space and terrain that appeared on the three-dimensional hologram suddenly became clear and vivid.

——The space of the new crypt layer is opened, and there will be minerals in the crypt layer. Does the castle master need mineral resources to appear in the crypt layer?

--whether!

Can minerals appear? Zhang Tie was taken aback by this option, "Ah, wouldn't it mean that any minerals I want can be generated underground, so if I get a gold mine and a crystal mine here, wouldn't it be a big deal! "

"It's not that simple!" Heller shook his head, "The types of mineral resources that can be provided by the space and terrain creation functions of the Black Iron Fort's crypt are limited to the minerals that have been absorbed and dissolved by the Chaos Pool. The types are not unlimited. The system can generate any minerals you want. Moreover, when generating specific minerals, the system will also consume a large amount of basic energy reserves and a large amount of merit points and aura points. Now black iron With such a small family background, Zhibao can't afford such advanced functions at all."

Zhang Tie tried it, and found that after he chose "Yes", only low-quality pyrite and low-grade crystal ore could be generated in the underground space. Things that were thrown into the Chaos Pool during the trial.

He had just formed a small strip of pyrite underground, and the basic energy reserves, merit points, and aura points of the Black Iron Castle had turned into red negative numbers.

The same is true for choosing to generate low-grade crystal ore. Compared with pyrite, the merit value and aura value required for crystal ore generation is a huge number.

Depend on! Zhang Tie cursed secretly, completely cutting off the unrealistic idea of ​​using the Black Iron Fortress to generate precious mineral resources.

After doing this, Zhang Tie's understanding of the Black Iron Fortress has deepened a bit. Everything he has gained here has a causal relationship. The so-called sowing melons, sowing beans, and beans is probably referring to the Black Iron Fortress. The situation inside.

...

——The creation of the space and terrain of the crypt layer will consume the following resources:

Basic energy reserve - 713698, aura value - 35190, merit value - 4822

——Whether to create?

--whether……

--Yes!

——The creation of the space and terrain of the crypt will start in half a minute and will take 18 seconds. During this period, the Castle Master cannot leave the Black Iron Castle.

——The countdown to the creation of space and terrain in the crypt layer: 30...29...28...27...26...

"I remember that when I created the spring water last time, Black Iron Castle required me to leave here to complete the creation of space and terrain. How can I complete it this time without leaving?" Zhang Tie asked Haile, the last time he created the spring water for him He still remembers the shock. He came in less than half a minute after leaving the Black Iron Castle, and a sweet clear spring appeared, making him wonder if he was dreaming.

"Because the Black Iron Castle and the Castle Master are one, the frequency of energy fluctuations created by the space and terrain here will affect the stability of the Castle Master's mental power. At that time, your mental power was very low. Feeling the creation of space and terrain in the castle will be very dangerous, once your mental power resonates with the energy frequency generated by the creation of space and terrain, it might make your head explode!"

"Won't other people and other creatures?"

"No, this kind of spiritual power resonating with the energy of the Black Iron Castle will only happen to you!"

Zhang Tie understood, and at the same time, he was full of curiosity about how the Black Iron Castle completed the terrain creation. He walked out of the laboratory and looked at the pine forest more than 100 meters south of the laboratory.

...

——The countdown to the creation of space and terrain in the crypt layer: 5... 4... 3... 2... 1.

The entire Black Iron Fort suddenly went dark, and then the colorful clouds and mist surrounding the Black Iron Fort slowly began to light up. In just a few seconds, the dazzling colorful light made Zhang Tie involuntarily close his eyes. He shielded his eyes with one hand.

With his eyes closed, Zhang Tie felt that the entire space of the Black Iron Fortress was filled with light, and that light was omnipresent. His mental power jumped and became irritable in the light, which made his two ears involuntarily appear tinnitus and hallucinations. The feeling of listening.

When Zhang Tie felt that the colorful lights in the Black Iron Fort disappeared and he could open his eyes, the terrain in the pine forest a hundred meters away had changed, and there was an extra ten-meter-high A small hill, where a dark hole has appeared...

...

Today's two updates, I can finally call for a monthly ticket with confidence! RS
