Chapter 495: Connection and Mission

Sky Island, the expanded integrated breeding port.

This breeding port, which was originally used to feed cloud-dwelling creatures, was expanded into a special air port with multiple dock-like berths after its purpose was determined, but the berths are not used to berth airships... but to accommodate cloud whales.

"Get ready, docking!"

The heavy armor rotates to fix the cloud whale on a platform similar to a berth. The hanging metal frame fixes the cloud whale with the closing of the hydraulic device, providing a stable temporary platform for the harvester... No one wants to slip and fall from a height of several thousand meters in the middle of work.

The cloud whale reluctantly blew out a breath of hot air, sweeping across the surrounding steel frames, blowing up a piece of dust that fell on the ground and rolled in the air.

The whale herders responsible for blood extraction and feeding had already taken protective measures and avoided the direction of the vent. A dissatisfied blast from the cloud whale was enough to blow an ordinary person standing in front three or four meters away.

They are also herders, but they herd the whales wandering in the clouds and feed them the delicious grass grown in the territory.

Large pieces of green grass pressed into grass blocks were sent to the cloud whale by long ropes with the sound of the steam engine turning. The grass blocks with a lot of other products added were used to soothe the cloud whale's spirit.

They found that adding an appropriate amount of sugar and plant processing residues to the grass blocks could significantly make the cloud whale's mood more stable than usual... This does not require many resources.

They are all worthless residues obtained from the sugar factory, and not so clean food for humans... The cloud whale's stomach does not care so much, as long as it can be eaten.

These big guys can eat directly from the vine forest piece by piece, no matter what is left in it, they will be stuffed into their stomachs together, including "protein snacks".

When the cloud whale swallowed a modified grass block, the breathing rate dropped significantly, and even the rhythmic fins stopped.

The whale herder waved his hand and communicated to start the next step.

"Okay, we can start drawing blood."

The metal needle tip installed on the mechanical device, which is as thick as a normal person's finger, moves slowly with the movements of the whale herders, and moves with the blood transfusion hose connected behind it.

The cloud whale's body is covered with an extremely thick rock protective layer. The thick rock is the key to its survival in the sky island world full of dangerous creatures. The rock epidermis and the subcutaneous fat buffer layer can even withstand the direct hit of anti-armor guns.

The whale herders in the territory will use the impact drill to dig out a fist-sized space on the outside of the vein in advance to accommodate the blood drawing needle, and mark this position.

Then, they only need to find this area and slowly insert the long needle along the soft area that has been dug.

For a 40-meter-long cloud whale, this finger-thick long needle is like a human being bitten by an ant.

As long as you swim over, you can get the carefully selected fresh and juicy grass cubes... and you just need to let those little guys move the needle on your body to draw blood.

"Is this guy bigger than before...?"

A whale herder looked at the faint purple light spots flowing out of the hose and flowing quickly. This was the product of the complex biological reaction of the floating stone swallowed by the cloud whale in its body.

The two strong hearts of the cloud whale will pump its own blood into a special blood storage container through the inserted hose. After the whale herder collects it, he will add a special anticoagulant to maintain the normal flow of the cloud whale's blood.

The anticoagulant can be directly extracted from the ghost vine. This extremely special parasitic vine will secrete anticoagulants to make the blood of the cloud whale coagulate and heal at the wound.

"Well, the cultivation method of this plant is very interesting. I will ask the tree people to see if it can be improved... As for the cultivation method, maybe we can try..."

Li Yan climbed onto the back of the cloud whale and looked at the ghost vines that had been harvested once, leaving only the basic roots for growth.

Tree people are experts in botany, and special plants such as ghost vines are also within the scope of their expertise... They are much more efficient in quantity than the elf lady who fights alone.

And he thought that he couldn't eat for free, so he had to do something to make himself look less redundant and lazy... Lords like Li Yan and Fang Ai didn't have the heavy management pressure like Ji Lin.

Treemen basically didn't need to be managed, and the scale of the town formed by elves and dragons was too small to require energy.

Ji Lin and his men were worried every day when they saw the territory that had exceeded the 100,000 mark.

"We can use a special type of water storage vine, but we just need to improve it a little, so that it can be changed from water storage to blood storage... Then let you plants... uh, ghost vines, parasitize on water storage plants..."

A special plant, of course, requires a special planting plan.

As for where the water storage vine came from, of course it was the seed sample he brought back from the vine island, and he didn't expect that it could be used here so soon.

"The vines of the ghost vine can penetrate the skin of the cloud whale, and naturally it can penetrate the vines by induction... In this way, the planting cost of the ghost vine will be reduced to about 50% of the current level"

Li Yan cleared his throat and began to narrate the plan that his hero unit helped him make to the dean who was standing by to receive him.

"Ah... I'm listening..."

The dean yawned and touched his short hair which he had just combed but still had some curls at the ends.

Changheng was responsible for the management of the Sky Island area, Alicia and Zhong were responsible for the management of the territory, and Chongshan was responsible for running the site and working on the front line.

Wubber was running around every day for the police and population security issues of the territory, and the elf lady Forna... was basically nowhere to be found.

And the lord, the lord had not returned to his loyal territory, and was still controlling the return of the sky island in the border airspace.

In the end, he was the only one who was still on half-time and still free.

So he was gloriously given the job of selecting a site on the sky island and establishing a new joint technology research institute.

By the way, entertain a certain tree lord who had already arrived in the territory, well, entertain the new lord in the free time of site selection.

If Ji Lin hadn't promised him, the new joint technology research institute would not let him take on research and organizational work...

The dean looked at the reverse technology research and development work ordered by Ji Lin, and felt that when his lord came back, he would have to start his 797 overtime life again.

The arrival of the rune computer array significantly reduced his work pressure... There are always countless research projects.

It doesn't matter, he came here by himself, all for the sake of contributing to the territory.

Just hold on until another scientific research supervisor is in place.

Hold on firmly, there will be a way

According to Ji Lin's current territory development progress, he will soon be able to unlock the scientific research supervisor stage.

Then he will be free!

Let the new guy feel the work pressure of this territory!

The dean's task was originally only to teach and educate people, and scientific research was not his strong point.
