Chapter 466 New Outpost
(Ahem, the update is a little late!)
With the help of Li Yan's outpost core, the small outpost that can only accommodate 100 people has been rapidly expanded into a standard outpost that can accommodate at least 800 people.
Using a large number of tree houses rooted in giant vines as their temporary residence.
While providing housing for ten people, the tree houses can also use their excess nutrients to produce fruits - a kind of fruit similar to citrus, containing water and trace elements of sugar, which is enough to sustain the daily needs of three people.
If planted on the same day, it can start to bear fruit on the same day, and after a week, it can steadily supply 3 servings of fruit every day.
It's a pity that this is a special building for wood elves and tree people.
The special houses of other races have their own characteristics.
The ratmen have underground residences. These natural excavation engineers can build a network of nests underground that are as dense as towns. The characteristics in their genes make them more tolerant of dark and narrow environments without reducing comfort.
These underground residences do not require too many resources, and at the same time have stronger concealment and security. Slave rats can dig safe underground residences for a large population if they have tools.
The elves have natural houses that can increase the reserve of environmental elements, but they cost more than ordinary houses, and the spells will recover faster in them.
It is conducive to cultivating better spellcasters.
The dwarf craftsmen have houses that can be used as front-line bunkers, which provide excellent defense capabilities and better living environment than ordinary bunkers. They are also experts in underground engineering.
Living in a mixed stone residence is always safer than a wooden house.
Elemental life can find a piece of land to lie down and solidify itself into a special house with defensive capabilities.
Let's get back to the topic.
"Sir, tonight's dinner is mud crabs, and some citrus produced by tree people and tree houses."
In fact, Ji Lin didn't want the tree people to produce food, but Li Yan couldn't help but pat his chest and said to eat more. It is normal for tree people to produce some fruit.
He felt that he had to do something, otherwise he would look like a freeloader and a clinger.
It would be better to let him use the tree people's fortification expertise.
"Yeah."
Ji Lin nodded, looking at Li Yan who was running around among the soldiers with enthusiasm, patting the tree house and boasting about the benefits of the tree house.
It seems that he has not been in contact with normal humans for too long.
He is so suffocated.
More than 30 five-meter-high tree houses have appeared on the originally flat vine platform. The five-meter-high tree trunks are used to prevent the attack of insect units that are too close to the ground, and the smell of the trees can also drive away some insects that approach.
It's a pity that after leaving the outpost core, the time required to build a building will be delayed several times, and the building materials need to be airlifted to the site.
He planned to let Li Yan return to his base with the fleet first, and put down his outpost core on the super-large sky island No. 3...Ji Lin's outpost core has been placed on a small sky island and transformed into a permanent floating fortress.
The base on the super-large sky island needs to manually build a large number of buildings, which wastes a lot of precious time that should have been used to expand the base.
"Let me try the taste of this fruit."
Ji Lin poked a small hole in the green but fluffy orange in his hand with his fingertips, and then easily tore the soft orange skin along the hole.
Twelve translucent orange translucent flesh were exposed, and one of them was taken out and put into his mouth. Ji Lin closed his eyes slightly to feel the sweet juice and soft flesh in his mouth.
It was sweet and not sour.
"Well, this kind of orange tastes good."
While eating the orange, he looked at Li Yan, who was talking to the officers in the distance like an entrepreneur who came to bid.
He was in high spirits and brought his elf/tree man adjutant to introduce the help that the tree man and the bee colony could provide to them.
The worker bees can help this small outpost collect the necessary resources without the soldiers having to risk their lives to mine special forest resources in the jungle. This alone is enough to make him popular among the officers.
Especially, these worker bees will not take a bite of something edible like hunting spiders.
These officers also took notes in their notebooks very seriously.
This was very useful to Li Yan.
What was common sense to him was completely new knowledge that these officers had never come into contact with. They needed to consider how the other army could make the best tactical combination with their own troops.
Ji Lin did not interrupt his thoughts. It was a good thing that Li Yan liked to share information, which represented his trust in himself.
The soldiers were divided into teams, sitting neatly around the campfire on the ground to exchange their experiences with other comrades and evaluate the quality of today's food.
Evaluating the difference in taste between these mud crabs and the sea mud crabs specially raised in the territory...
The sea mud crabs near the ocean have a unique fishy smell of seafood, but the meat tastes smoother and smoother. The sea mud crabs that are harvested when they grow to a certain size are definitely soft and tender.
The common mud crabs living in the vine forest have a unique fresh smell of forests. The crab meat tastes better after being cooked. The crab sticks of these big guys even have to be cut with a knife-one person can't finish a whole one.
Ji Lin looked at the crab stick in his hand, wondering if eating too much of it would give him gout.
Land crabs and sea crabs should be... the same?
I don't know why these vines can grow so big... In the past, he only looked at the giant vines under the sky island from a distance, but he didn't expect that these vines would be thicker and larger once they grew on land than when they were hanging down.
The pipelines that transport nutrients can be directly dug to obtain mucus that can replenish water... It will be better if they are processed a little.
A large number of plants choose to parasitize these giant vines directly after they cannot contact the soil, extracting their nutrients to feed themselves.
Organisms that cannot use giant vines feed on these parasitic plants.
Ji Lin took a bite of crab meat, and he had a headache when he thought that he might have to eat crab meat every day in the future.
He didn't plan to go back with the team, and there was no place in the territory that needed him too much, but it was more important to completely deal with these outsiders.
Ask Li Yan if the tree people can produce more other kinds of fruits.
