The super-grade magic energy core has a small weight, but due to its energy utilization, it has a large load. It is indeed a good power source!
But if we compare the magic core with the internal combustion engine in the earth, we can only say that both have their own characteristics.
Zong Shen stared blankly at the movement of the Earthshaker's chariot, and suddenly became distracted.
Only men will be very interested in this kind of armored vehicle.
This situation is just like when we were in the earth. Whether it is a baby of one or two years old or an uncle in his fifties or sixties, as long as he sees the excavator working, he will not be able to move his legs, and he will have to look at it twice.
The love for machinery is rooted in every man's blood.
More or less, thick or light, there will always be some impact.
Zong Shen withdrew his gaze, because that guy Buckron Ironhand seemed to have good driving skills, and the Earthshaker chariot was very stable under its control.
Being able to get started so quickly shows that this guy is not only a senior engineer, but also an excellent goblin pilot.
Mariel had already rushed back from the living area, and Zong Shen turned his attention back to [Points Exchange].
Looking at this, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to spend all the remaining points in this round of [Points Exchange].
But it doesn’t matter. Anyway, by noon the day after tomorrow, this round of challenges will be completely over, and there will be an opportunity to redeem it.
There should be some changes in the redemption options at that time.
As for the [Points Lottery], these ten consecutive draws have actually made Zong Shen feel satisfied.
Before this, he had only spent a maximum of 20,000 to 30,000 points in the [Point Lottery].
This time he directly came to draw a family bucket.
He was so arrogant that he didn't even bother to check the items he drew. Just such a change in mentality can actually explain everything.
Zong Shen once again chose the 1000-point lottery draw for ten draws in a row.
After deducting 9,000 points, the exclusive lottery wheel began to spin slowly.
After a few seconds, the roulette wheel stopped, indicating that the draw for the 1,000-point level was completed.
As the roulette wheel stopped, the roulette wheel in front of him still turned into subtitles and appeared in front of him.
To be honest, the way the subtitles display the results is not as shocking as the physical display.
But it is convenient and simple. It is perfect for a gambler like Zong Shen. After all, he only cares about the results and does not care about the extraction process.
Extracting results quickly can increase the speed of extraction and reduce the consumption of fuzzy integrals.
It makes people finish it without even realizing it.
[Extraction successful]
[Armored city wall improvement technology (orange) x1]
[Medium-sized sloop (purple) x1]
[4th Generation Magic Cannon (Purple) x1]
[Intermediate Skills Experience Book (Blue) x1]
[Ordinary experience beads (white.) x1]
[Bitter gray beans (grey.) x1]
[Craft brewed rye beer (green) x1]
[Taunting wooden stake (purple) x1]
[Paralyzing Vine Seed (Blue) x1]
[Rotten black bread (grey) x1]
The above are all the rewards drawn from the 1000 point tier.
In the first few rounds of challenges, Zong Shenwan’s lottery was a single draw, so the difference in the quality of rewards for each point level did not seem obvious.
But after he made a wave of ten consecutive draws for each point level, the contrast in the quality of the rewards became obvious.
The quality of rewards that can be drawn from high-point tiers is indeed much higher than that from low-point tiers.
But on the whole, the prizes drawn at the 1,000-point level this time are still worthwhile for Zong Shen.
Especially since he also drew an orange bonus item.
Includes several purple level bonus items.
Of course, in this level of points lottery, the number of gray, white, green, and blue reward items has also increased a lot.
Correspondingly, the points paid by Zong Shen were also much less.
All in all, this round is still not a loss for him.
It was also at this time that Zong Shen discovered something else.
That's the lottery for redeeming points, which is generally very cost-effective.
But the price is also high.
This good deal may not apply to other lords.
This is especially true for lords with a base number of several billion.
Most lords may not be willing to spend even 500 points on a lottery.
For them, at this stage, they mainly choose to exchange some resources, materials, props, defense towers, potions, food, etc.
These things are more in line with the development needs of most lords.
The concept of "points" in online games on Earth is equivalent to "valuable tokens" obtained by doing activities. For ordinary lords, every point is very precious.
They simply don’t have any extra points to spend in the [Points Lottery].
As for those lords who can afford the lottery, most of them are those with relatively rich points. Of course, it is not ruled out that there are a small number of dog gambling lords who do not have many points, but they also try to gamble.
A handful.
When he can only take a gamble, no one can guarantee what he will gain.
Something with a gambling nature like a lottery actually has a margin for error.
If you have a large points balance, you don’t have to risk your fortune to gamble.
You can even have the luxury of playing a wave of ten draws.
The properties represented by these two situations are completely different.
Zong Shen's "blood profit" is based on his spending a lot of points and drawing many times in a row.
The principle is the same as discussing toxicity without regard to dose, and discussing power without regard to equivalent quantity.
Putting aside the number of draws and the total amount of consumption points to talk about gains, it is actually just a hooliganism.
While Zong Shen was thinking in his mind, he closed the draw results for the 1,000-point level with a thought.
There is still a ten-consecutive draw discount for the lowest tier of 500 points.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After the discount, ten consecutive draws only cost 4,500 points.
This point price can no longer make any waves in Zong Shen's heart.
I still remember when he asked someone to play the 500-point lottery draw, which required repeated consideration and calculation.
Today is really different from the past. Thirty days are east of the river and thirty days are west of the river. Don’t deceive Zong to be poor!
After drawing ten consecutive draws at the 500-point level, Zong Shen will reconsider the use of the remaining points.
He first opened the storage compartment and took a look.
It was confirmed that the rewards he had drawn these past few times were all lying in the empty spaces of the storage compartments. Fortunately, he often upgraded [Item Management] and had more than a hundred storage compartments. Otherwise, he would really pretend
There aren't that many belongings left behind.
The exhaustion of resources and props is probably one of the worries of the boss, and it is simply a painful and happy thing.
After confirming that the reward items were in good condition, Zong Shen chose to reopen the [Points Lottery] option and directly selected the 500 points level for ten consecutive draws!
The original small roulette wheel appeared, still with ten hands, and the roulette wheel started spinning.
Zong Shen yawned lazily.
I’ve already tried the more expensive stalls, and now I don’t have much to look forward to.
In addition, the price paid is small, so I don't care so much.
Anyway, it’s only a mere 4,500 points!
The roulette wheel soon stopped, the ten pointers flickered slightly, and the entire roulette wheel decomposed into light particles and quickly reorganized into the subtitles of the items drawn.
[Extraction successful]
[Second-level Wolf Cavalry Recruitment Volume x1]
[Protective suede helmet (blue) x1]
[Smoked horse meat jerky (white) x1]
[Wild Seed (Blue) x1]
[Rancid fish eye (grey) x1]
[Token of Hidden Desert (Unknown) x1]
[Nord Advanced Book (Blue) x1]
[Fresh sweet potato vine (white) x1]
[Broken cast iron key (gray) x1]
[Fourth-level deep salt well construction drawings (purple) x1]
As the subtitle prompt appeared, all the items Zong Shen drew in the 500-point level were automatically stored in the storage compartment.
In the points lottery at this level, most of the reward items are of blue or lower grade.
However, he was quite lucky. Not only did he draw an unknown item, he also drew a fourth-level rare architectural drawing.
As for the other items, they are also good.
[Nord Advancement Book (Blue)] can just meet the requirements for Nord soldiers to upgrade from level 2 to level 3.
Tiezhu happens to be a second-level Nord Shadow Scout. Using this advanced book can make him a third-level scout.
As for the [Living Sweet Potato Vine (White)], although its grade is only white, its effect is not small. This thing can be planted to cultivate high-yielding sweet potato crops!
After this period of observation, he found no trace of sweet potatoes in Bospan.
The food crops under the jurisdiction of Bangcheng are mainly wheat, and some potatoes are also grown.
But compared with sweet and waxy sweet potatoes, potatoes are slightly inferior.
In addition to being used as a staple food, sweet potatoes can also be used to make sugar and starch.
It can be called an excellent cereal crop and is very suitable for planting in the territory.
Zong Shen immediately closed the [Points Lottery], immersed himself in the storage compartment, and quickly found the green sweet potato vine.
This thing is easy to survive. Even if you cut it into several sections and plant them, it can survive in large quantities by pouring some water. Just make sure that there are enough buds on the planted vine sections.
This is especially true in summer and autumn when there is abundant rain.
Winter and spring when temperatures are low are not suitable for sweet potato planting.
This is all common sense, sweet potatoes are a good treasure!
He turned his hand and took out the sweet potato vine that was about 80 centimeters long.
He stared at the vine with his eyes, checking its properties.
【Fresh sweet potato vine (white)】
[Quality: Ordinary]
[Sweet potato vines with acceptable activity can be planted and cultivated]
(A cereal crop spread from the islands in the southeast of the mainland eight hundred and sixty-three years ago. Due to environmental influences, it has a higher yield and survival rate than sweet potatoes on Earth. It is an important ration for island deserters. In the south and west of the mainland,
, there is a small amount of cultivation in the eastern region, but there is no trace of it in the northern region)
It was indeed the sweet potato vine he thought it was!
I didn’t expect it to exist in this endless continent!
And in the background notes of the guide, this thing is native to the islands off most of the southeastern coast.
This situation reminded him that Chinese sweet potatoes were brought back from Southeast Asia.
He grabbed the tender sweet potato vines and felt inexplicably better.
The little vine in his hand actually made him feel a little bit excited.
I can’t hide it anymore, the farming instinct in my blood has finally awakened!
Such joyful mood reminded him of the time when he had recruited Colby.
Zong Shen turned around with a smile on his face and waved to Salome Lin Yu, a senior agronomist standing behind him.
"Salome Linyu, do you know what kind of crop this is?"
Zong Shen waved the sweet potato vine in his hand, which made him take a few steps forward unconsciously.
The natural druid narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the sweet potato vine. His eyes slowly scanned every leaf and vein, with a thoughtful look on his face.
After being silent for half a minute, he frowned.
He bowed with some shame and said.
"Please forgive me, my lord."
"There is no such crop in my memory or in the Advanced Agricultural Illustrated Book..."
"But I can sense a very strong vitality from its body."
Zong Shen smiled slightly, not surprised by this result.
Whether they are soldiers or technical talents, as long as they are recruited, their origins are different.
Basically it comes from the period between more than 10,000 years ago and thousands of years ago.
The sweet potato vine in the Endless Continent is a new crop that spread from the southeastern islands more than 800 years ago.
Due to various reasons, it has not even become popular on a large scale in mainland China.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! So it is normal for Salome Linyu not to know what the sweet potato vine is.
"It's a high-yielding food crop."
"Cut this cane into several sections and leave the buds intact for planting directly."
"You need more water after planting."
"In the summer, it takes about four to five months to fully mature."
"It produces a lot of tubers, which can be steamed or roasted."
"It feels full and contains a lot of sugar."
"With the blessing of natural magic, its yield can be much higher than that of wheat!"
Zong Shen briefly told Salome Lin Yu about the characteristics and conditions of sweet potatoes from his memory.
His eyes became bright when he heard it.
"If what you say is true."
"Then the planting cost and comprehensive benefits of this crop must exceed that of wheat!"
"Can you...can you show it to me?"
Salome Linyu is indeed a senior agronomist, he is very interested in any crop.
Due to the different times, he didn't know about sweet potato crops, so now he pays special attention to the sweet potato vines in front of him.
Zong Shen was very satisfied with his request and his response.
He raised his hand and handed over the sweet potato vine.
Salome Linyu bowed, raised her generous hands, and took it very carefully.
In fact, Zong Shen still had some things he didn't tell him about sweet potatoes.
Sweet potatoes are a crop with many advantages and can save thousands of lives during times of famine.
But as a coarse grain, it is still very different from staple food.
Eating too much sweet potatoes for a long time will cause abdominal distension and abdominal pain, because sweet potatoes contain an oxidase that easily produces a large amount of carbon dioxide gas in the human gastrointestinal tract.
This is also the reason why it is easy to fart after eating sweet potatoes.
Secondly, there is too much sugar in sweet potatoes, which can easily cause abdominal discomfort.
Sweet potatoes have a high sugar content. Eating too much will stimulate the secretion of gastric acid and cause burning and pain.
Stomach acid can also flow back into the esophagus, causing acid reflux and vomiting of acidic water.
The most critical point is that sweet potatoes lack protein, fat and various vitamins.
The disadvantage of sweet potatoes is the lack of nutrients, which is why it cannot completely replace staple food.
The reason why rice and wheat can become staple foods and have a more special status than miscellaneous grains is because their nutrition is more comprehensive.
Take rice as an example. It contains fat, B vitamins, and proteins such as rice glutenin, rice gelatin, and globulin, not to mention the carbohydrates that are mainly responsible for its functions.
The same is true for wheat, which is more comprehensive and rich in nutrition.
Using the germ, bran, and husk of wheat and rice, you can even squeeze out oil.
This is the most important standard for staple food!
However, the above situation still cannot conceal the advantages of sweet potatoes. As long as they are grown on a large scale, Zong Shen has many ways to deal with them.
In other aspects, the knowledge on Earth may not match that of Endless Continent.
But when it comes to the use of sweet potatoes, the experience in processing sweet potatoes on Earth is more comprehensive and complete than in the Endless Continent. After all, sweet potatoes are not yet popular here.
Sweet potatoes grown in large areas can be used to make sugar and sweet potato starch to make sweet potato noodles.
It can also be dried directly to make sweet and soft dried sweet potatoes.
It can also be steamed and eaten directly as a supplement to the staple food.
There are many ways to make it, so you don’t have to worry about running out of food!
In just a few minutes, Zong Shen considered its uses.
Judging from its practical uses, sweet potato is definitely a food crop with great potential.
Although its grade is the white ordinary grade, it is distinguished by the grade system of the Endless Continent.
Nothing can conceal its significance to the development of the territory.
When sweet potatoes are produced in large quantities, Zong Shen can sell them to other lords.
It will definitely be a hit.
After all, the Kingdom of Avalon is located in the eastern part of the continent, so there is little chance of getting sweet potatoes.
Just as Zong Shen was thinking happily, Mariel drove the loader mecha from the east into the central area and came directly in front of Zong Shen.
"Sir, I'm here."
"Please let those three technical talents come with me."
Mariel nodded in greeting and then said quickly.
At this time, the goblin engineer Backron Ironhand also drove back in the Earthshaker chariot.
He parked the chariot more than ten meters away from Zong Shen, opened the hatch cover, and climbed out with an excited look on his face.
Obviously, he was very satisfied with this Earthshaker chariot.
"Bah bang bang!"
Zong Shen clapped his hands and motioned for everyone to listen to him.
"Ahem!"
"This is Mariel, the territory's internal affairs officer."
"You can call her Lady Mariel."
"She is in charge of the territory's logistics and internal affairs."
"Now she will arrange a place for you, please follow her to the living area!"
