Chapter 1578: Unknown and Exploration

It must be said that the first outing was very fruitful.

Chili peppers, rhizomes, and pine resin, each of which is a very precious resource.

Bai Hao stayed in the old camp for a total of three days. Except for the first day when he put the bamboo tube on the pine tree to collect pine resin, he spent the rest of the time collecting chili peppers and rhizomes.

This unknown rhizome is actually not as good as cassava, let alone other conventional foods. It is not only small in size, but also very difficult to grow, but its advantages are also very obvious.

That is, there are a lot of them, and it is also convenient to use, especially in the surrounding area, where the ground is densely covered with rhizomes. If all of them are dug out, there will be at least hundreds of kilograms.

It's a pity that it takes a long time just to dig, and it's impossible for Bai Hao to dig them all back by himself.

Therefore, he spent more time digging chili peppers. There are fewer chili peppers nearby, so he dug them out as much as possible, and dug out about a dozen plants.

The rhizomes also dug about 30 kilograms, but because there was no time to make them into starch, it would be very tiring to carry them back, but there was nothing he could do about it.

On the third night, Bai Hao went to check the collection of pine resin. Each bamboo tube had accumulated about 3 to 5 cm of pine resin. The amount was not much, because the bamboo tube was relatively thin, and all the pine resin added up to less than 1 jin.

Bai Hao had expected this situation. The amount of pine resin that could be collected each time was actually very small, and it was a long-term job.

Because every few days, the cuts on the pine tree would slowly solidify, and then no more pine resin would flow out.

At this time, it was necessary to open a new cut and continue collecting in another place.

Bai Hao collected all the pine resin in all the bamboo tubes, put them in a new bamboo tube, and then tied the bamboo tube used to collect pine resin to the pine tree again, starting a new round of collection.

In the future, he only needs to come here every once in a while and take the collected pine resin back.

Then, on the morning of the fourth day, Bai Hao returned to the new camp with his harvest.

In the past few days, Huang Hai stayed in the shelter, taking care of the crops and reservoirs that Bai Hao had previously done, and he did not leave the camp, always watching nearby.

Now seeing Bai Hao come back, he was very excited, especially seeing the harvest he brought back, which was even more surprising.

Every time a new food is discovered in the wild, it is a blessing, especially the very precious ingredient of pepper, which can bring great help to future life.

On the one hand, this is a very important condiment. After salt, garlic, and shallots, pepper can greatly enrich the recipes of the two.

Secondly, if it is winter, the presence of pepper will make it easier for the two to get through the winter.

After the surprise, the two immediately started to get busy.

Bai Hao is more proficient in crop planting, so he hurriedly started to plant peppers and continued to expand the vegetable garden to an area dedicated to growing peppers.

Huang Hai began to process the rhizomes and made them into starch and collected them.

After all this was done, the most important thing began, which was to use pine resin to make candles, which was also the main purpose of collecting pine resin this time.

In fact, rosin has many uses. It can be eaten as food, used as medicine, and has many other uses.

Unfortunately, Bai Hao didn't know much about it, and he had never eaten it before, so he didn't dare to eat it casually.

Perhaps the two female survivors knew other uses of rosin, but they were too embarrassed to ask. After all, this precious material was not suitable for others to know.

He only knew how to make candles, so he could use it to make candles.

They have discovered that the resources in this world are actually scarce now. They didn't find many useful materials around, whether it was food or materials that could make tools.

Most of the plants in this world are huge, unknown species, and extremely complicated trees and vines.

Perhaps it's not that there are not many useful materials, but that most of the plants are plants they don't know, and they don't know what their specific functions are.

Therefore, many survivors believe that this is an extremely barren land, and there are very few survival materials that can be used.

So if you find a kind that can be used, it will be very valuable.

Even plants like pine trees, which were once very common, are now very rare in this land.

They were lucky to find it, so they naturally couldn't let others know.

In fact, this was specially arranged by Qi Yuan, because when they arrived in the primitive civilization world, they would find that the plants there were all unfamiliar. After all, they were on two completely unfamiliar planets, and there were great differences between animals and plants.

So they not only need to exercise their survival skills, but also their ability to deal with unfamiliar animals and plants, and constantly improve their use and exploration of new things.

This is the most important point.

If they can only use the plants they know and survive with the knowledge they know, they will be unable to move forward on a new planet.

Now, they need to learn to use completely unfamiliar materials.

In order to make them survive better, Qi Yuan still put some plants from their original world in this game world for them to mine and use.

However, most of them are unfamiliar plants, but what many survivors don’t know is that among these completely unfamiliar plants, many plants are extremely valuable.

It’s not just the use value, nor the use value, but these plants can improve their physical fitness to a certain extent, and even let them gradually embark on the road of cultivation.

Because there is some spiritual energy in these plants, they are absolutely beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

It is very likely that they have a serious illness, as long as they find a kind of herb to eat, these diseases will be cured immediately.

It is also possible to find a kind of fruit to eat, and their physical fitness will be greatly improved, and they can easily fight against wild beasts in the wild.

However, most of these magical plants are in areas where few people go. If they are willing to explore and look for them in those dangerous areas, they may still find them, because the number is not small.

But if they just stay in one place steadily and only use the plants they know, then there will never be a big breakthrough.
