Chapter 223 Sky Island Development (Updated)

"This is yours, this is yours..."

The young soldier counted the gray-white balls that were kneaded into balls in his hands. This kind of semi-gel block is made from steamed and sterilized scraps left over from food processing in the territory. It is composed of scraps of meat scraps, vegetable roots and food gel. Food for the scout hunting spiders.

It is guaranteed to be nutritious and not difficult to make. The main ingredients are leftovers after meals are cooked in the canteen.

The first management problem of Sky Island did not come from the residents or soldiers, but from these fifteen hundred hunting spiders. In order to cope with the special situation that might arise on the empty island, Ji Lin ordered the ranch to produce scout hunting spiders. By the time he ordered the ranch to stop breeding scout hunting spiders, the number of these little creatures had increased to 1,500.

Their combat effectiveness is not strong, and it is no problem for the light armored infantry of the third era to kill five of them by themselves.

Too many!

He can run fast and survive at the same time.

No wonder those lords in the previous life liked to use this little thing as a reconnaissance vanguard.

"Hey! Don't run."

A scout hunting spider, one size larger than the other hunting spiders, picked up a piece of gel mixture and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The young soldier sighed. He also wanted to touch the hunting spider that was larger than other hunting spiders. The chitinous carapace covered by these scout hunting spiders is covered with fine hairs and feels soft to the touch.

They don't need to count the number of hunting spiders. Ji Lin only needs to take a look at the recall list to see if there are any new death hunting spiders.

If they don't die, they will always return to camp.

The young soldier, carrying a musket on his back, stood next to the wooden frame filled with gel food balls and continued to distribute food to the remaining hunting spiders that had not yet eaten.

He saw several large scout hunting spiders coming to him for food, looking at him eagerly, and then after getting the food, they picked up the food and ran away without giving him a chance to touch them.

Why do I feel like there are a lot more big scout hunting spiders here than before.

Taking care of these 1,500 scout hunting spiders is really a troublesome thing. They need to excrete and eat. Although the hunting spider's residence allows them to concentrate their excrement in one place, cleaning it up is also quite troublesome.

The excrement in the entire outpost was accumulating under this situation. After Chang Heng reported this problem, he immediately received a reply from Ji Lin, who showed Chang Heng the compost site.

'compost'

‘Area: 2 acres’

‘Produce organic fertilizer, additional +20% biomass decomposition speed. ’

‘Organic fertilizer is made by decomposing various organic wastes over a long period of time’

'Well...you can get cheap fertilizer this way...but don't live near this thing...'

compost.

Using organic waste as the main raw material, it is composted and fermented on-site into fertilizer that can be supplied to the newly established farmland on the floating island.

It is also a cheap and effective fertilizer that they have access to.

Due to the rapid increase in population in the territory, these large-scale compost plants, which cover an area of ​​up to two acres and are approximately 60 meters long and 20 meters wide, are also being deployed on a large scale. Relying on public toilets for composting is slow and can be used when the population is small, but when the population increases, specialized facilities are extremely needed to carry out the work.

During the composting process, organic matter is converted into humus, and the temperature can continuously reach 70°C to completely kill bacteria, insect eggs, and weed seeds. Once composting is complete, the compost pile will no longer smell and will have an almost earthy smell.

The composting site of the empty island is located downwind of the edge of the empty island, side by side from the residential area.

Outside the wooden walls of the outpost, a large number of different types of plants are planted chaotically, like a newly built botanical garden that has not been taken care of in any way. Different plants are separated by fences. The agricultural team that came from the territory first complained about the roughness of the army officers.

Then, under the guidance of the elf lady and the adventurers who knew the characteristics of plants, they began to try to plant different magical plants separately.

Although these agricultural groups have only taken care of ordinary plants, their own understanding and knowledge of plants are enough to make them qualified to take care of special plants - there is no way to take care of special plants if they are not qualified. There are no druids and botanists in the territory. this profession.

Use the farmer to hold it up first!

In this way, in a hurry, the territory began the initial cultivation of its first batch of special crops.

The progress of scientific research on special botany is also progressing slowly in their work.

At this time, Ji Lin had not yet remembered that there was Li Yan, the treant lord and a true botany expert, who could be consulted on planting methods.

Mine.

This place not only produces floating stones, but also stone mines and various magical materials that are extremely rare in production.

A stone several times harder than other stones was exposed during the continuous mining work of the miners. The sharp iron pickaxe could not damage this special dark gray stone in the slightest, and even with all its strength, only a shallow mark was left. It showed its sharp corners so tenaciously in the stone mine. When the miners excavated the hard stones on the outside, they only saw the lower part spread out like a rhombus.

It would take quite some time to completely dig it out of the rock formation.

The miners communicated and reported information.
