Chapter 297 Harvest and Construction
Ji Lin sat on the edge of the cliff and opened his management panel.
Research on local creatures is unlikely to go smoothly, and a little accident is inevitable. At least they have made some small gains in the habits of local creatures.
Or it is a considerable gain. The system has materialized the materials and building bonuses given to them after the cloud whale devoured the whole piece of grass he put down.
The aerial feeding ground can attract whales to gather at the cost of consuming one cubic meter of grass at a time.
‘High-quality grass’
‘An extremely high-quality grass that requires sufficient sunlight and water, but requires arable land/farmland for planting. ’
‘Each feeding consumes one cubic meter of grass. ’
‘Additional effect of the aerial feeding ground: the attraction of large herbivorous floating creatures is increased by an additional 50%, and the settlement rate of wandering fish schools is increased by 10%. ’
‘You know, fresh, juicy and nutritious plants are quite popular everywhere. If you can provide them with enough food, maybe they will consider settling in one place for a long time. ’
Along with the feeding, there are also special feeding additives unlocked.
‘Unlock floating stone additives’
‘We can add floating stone dust to the feeding plants. These shiny things are the elements that this cloud-dwelling creature needs to survive. ’
‘Every ten cubic meters of grass consumes one unit of additional floating stone ore. ’
‘Additional effect of the air feeding field: increase the attraction of all cloud-dwelling creatures by 20%, and increase the settlement rate of wandering fish schools by 20%. ’
‘If you happen to have some extra floating stones on hand...but it may not only attract what you want. ’
Ji Lin glanced at the building constructed by the light flow behind him, which used a larger crane to feed the large creatures in the cloud.
But he didn't know what benefits would be gained by attracting these large cloud-dwelling creatures to settle here. Would they be used for tourists to watch?
Hunting cloud whales can indeed bring significant benefits.
If Ji Lin's resources were not as abundant as they are now and the controlled area was not so large, he would indeed choose to hunt. Hunting a cloud whale may bring him more than a thousand gold coins, and all the materials on it can be decomposed, processed and sold.
But his goal is to control an entire airspace, at least the airspace near this large sky island.
He doesn't want to add any extra trouble to himself. It is enough to ensure the safety of the transportation lines in his control area. If these creatures periodically attack the territory's transport ships.
He has to maintain the cruise fleet and detach a guard fleet at the same time, which is really fatal.
The territory can't spare so much manpower.
The repair work of the floating platform can rely on the assistance given by the system, and they don't have to repair the broken edge stones by themselves. The ground staff can finally breathe a sigh of relief and sit in the chair to watch the light flow from the sky to help them complete the work they should do. The light flow will decompose the damaged parts and then reconstruct them into an intact structure.
Otherwise, just repairing the work damaged by the cloud whale's traction will cost the ground staff their lives.
The driving course for the fishermen was arranged at a height of one meter above the ground-at least they don't have to worry about height fear before the collection platform is repaired.
They will be trained at the airport until they fully master the use of small manned airships.
Another gain is...
They got some fish fry.
Ji Lin recalled the silvery-white young fish they took out from the fist-sized spherical nests. They couldn't learn to fly yet, and they only needed a wooden bowl to hold them all.
It was no problem to take away just a few fish fry. The vine walls of the entire floating island should be covered with such hatcheries.
Then watch them jump around in the bowl.
These fish-like things are jumping around in the air happily. Throwing them into the water will drown these little things.
Ji Lin began to wonder if the system had deducted all the blueprints that were supposed to be given to him, and then threw them to the store for him to buy.
Because he did accidentally discover a brand new blueprint that could be purchased in the blueprint store after obtaining these fish fry.
‘Herbivorous floating fish farm’
‘A closed farm made of a large amount of wood and cloth can prevent the fish from dying due to accidents to the greatest extent, and will not let them leave the farm. ’
‘Materials: 100 units of cloth/glass, 30 units of steel, 600 units of wood. ’
‘An environment without light will make them extremely panic, so remember to provide these little things with sufficient lighting. ’
Cloth, produced by the tailor shop, is the first time he has seen a system building in a territory that needs cloth, a secondary product. Generally speaking, buildings do not need cloth - all the cotton production in the territory is used to make clothes, giving the people in the territory a brand new piece of clothing.
So that they don’t have to wear the same old clothes as before to work in the territory.
Glass, produced by the glass factory, the territory did not build it directly. All the glass in the territory is imported. There is no special glass production line. The labor cost of glass is high, but the help it can provide to the territory is extremely limited. As for external sales, compared with the glass manufacturing level of the Holy City, it is an exaggeration to describe the technology of the territory as garbage.
When they need glass, they choose to purchase it directly from the Holy City. This is the advantage of having a market.
Therefore, Ji Lin had no reserves of cloth, and could only wait until he returned to the territory to specifically order the tailor shop to change its production direction and start producing cloth... or directly purchase a batch of glass or cloth.
