The sun hangs in the sky like a fireball, while the rolling heat wave is raging in the desert. This is the most difficult time for people in the desert, because the weather is too hot, and no one will do it unless necessary. Like to go out.
At this time of year, people in the desert will hide in their tents, which often have only one roof and the surrounding felt is removed, so that they can feel cooler.
But this year is different. The people here in the desert today are very different from every year. This year, the people in the desert are all wearing robes, covering their whole bodies, with only two eyes exposed, and they are standing They looked into the distance from the village gate, and those who didn't know thought there was something wrong with them. Only they themselves knew that they were looking at the pastures and bottle trees outside the village gate.
The bottle tree has been planted for so long, and has changed from a mutated plant to an ordinary plant, but its function is still there. It can be said that it is the driest time in the desert. Even here in their oasis, a lot of pasture will be eaten alive. Roasted to death, let alone the place outside the oasis before.
And they are now nervous about the grass they planted. The condition of the grass is really making them nervous. If the grass cannot survive this period of time, it means that Zhao Hai's plan to transform the desert has failed. That would be a huge blow to the people in the desert.
Therefore, since the arrival of the dry season, people in each village have done almost nothing else. What they like to do most is to see how the grass they planted is doing.
Zhao Hai and the others have already calculated it. The pasture can be safe during the driest period in the desert. It will not be until about two months before the next rainy season. These pastures will naturally die. Of course , before the grass dies, people in the desert can cut the grass and store it.
But after the dry season, it will take nearly six months to reach the rainy season of the next year. If the pasture cannot survive the dry season, then there is no need to mention improving the desert.
Fortunately, Zhao Hai's research was really successful. They came to this conclusion after repeated experiments, so even in the driest time, although the forage looked a little wilted, it was Still alive and well. Even still very green.
Time is passing little by little. The hottest season in the desert has slowly passed, and the weather is cooler than before. This is also the time when people in the desert are more active. But today in the desert But there is one more thing for people to do. That is to herd sheep.
Zhao Hai has long said that the pastures he has researched are not afraid of sheep eating them. Sheep can eat the pastures and the pastures will continue to grow. And they will grow very quickly and basically will not affect the pastures. People in the desert are now taking the second step, grazing sheep on those pastures to see if there is any impact on those pastures.
Time passed little by little, and in the blink of an eye, more than nine months had passed since the days when people planted the grass. At this time, the grass was slowly turning yellow, and it was time to harvest the grass.
.
The people in the desert immediately started to move and began to harvest all the forage. Everyone had a smile on their face. Although it has not yet been ten months, all the forage has reached the level before Zhao Hai
As for the effect, they didn't care about those few days. They were saying that harvesting forage would take a while and they couldn't wait until ten months to do it.
Therefore, after the forage is harvested, it will be chopped into grass blocks and then stored until it can be easily used to raise livestock in the future. Everyone has a smile on their face, and they are full of hope for their new life.
In addition to forage, they are also very concerned about bottle trees. When harvesting forage, some people will climb up to the bottle tree to see if there is no water in the bottle tree. If there is no water in the bottle tree, then
This means that the bottle tree cannot survive the next two months, so they have to think of a way, either add a little water to the bottle tree, or sprinkle a little water on the roots of the bottle tree, and make sure that the bottle tree
The tree can survive until the rainy season.
But when they really went to see the situation in the bottle tree, they were relieved. There was still a lot of water in the bottle tree. After the dry season, at least one-fifth of the water in the bottle tree was left.
It is enough for him to use it until the rainy season. It can be said that this is definitely a good thing. It means that Zhao Hai's experiment with bottle trees was also successful.
The entire desert fell into a state of ecstasy. People from all the big villages in the desert sent people to take the lambs to the old man's village and sent the lambs to Zhao Hai.
These lambs are all lambs that are less than a year old. These lambs all grew up eating the forage that Zhao Hai and the others have researched. Now that Zhao Hai has successfully researched the forage, he has also successfully researched the bottle tree. Starting today,
, here in the desert, we only need to work hard to expand the area of the oasis every year, and we can change the environment here. All the people in the ten villages decided to send some lambs to Zhao Hai and others, so that Zhao Hai and the others could taste them with their own mouths.
Taste it and see what the mutton raised on their pasture tastes like.
Zhao Hai and the others are very busy this year, especially during the rainy season. They will go to other small villages and plant some bottle trees there. After the rainy season, they start to observe the various effects of bottle trees and pasture.
data to see if they achieve their expected results.
In addition to bottle trees and pastures, they are also studying baobab trees. In fact, Zhao Hai and the others have been very attentive to the research on baobab trees. Now the baobab trees growing here in the desert are the same as those Zhao Hai has seen.
, the original baobab trees are very different. If baobab trees can be planted on a large scale in the desert, it will indeed solve a large part of the food problem in the desert.
The reason is that baobab trees have greater demand for water than pasture, but they are not as good at improving the desert environment as pasture. Because of this, Zhao Hai and the others did not plant baobab trees when improving the desert environment.
That would only slow down the process of changing the desert environment. Of course, Zhao Hai would not do that. Therefore, baobab trees are still only planted in small quantities in Laoren Village in order to solve the food problem in Laoren Village.
The elderly people here in Laorou Village are getting older and older, and more and more elderly people have lost their labor energy. Although new elderly people are constantly arriving, at the rate of development here in the desert, it may not take long.
, no old people will come to Laoren Village. Then when the old people here can no longer work, these baobab trees will be their source of food.
It has been more than two years since Zhao Hai and the others arrived in the desert. In the past two years, they have not returned to the Blade Soul Kingdom, but their contact with the Blade Soul Kingdom has not been broken. In the past two years or so, the Blade Soul Kingdom has become very important.
After a long time of peace, Dao Baiying had been transferred back to Hengdao City. The struggle between the families of Daohun Kingdom had also become fierce. Of course, the driving force behind this was the royal family. Now the royal family has no control over those big people.
The family is no longer suppressed excessively, but it has achieved a balance, and in this way, except for those big families, few families can become big families, because there is no need for the royal family to make peace, those
The big family suppressed those guys.
This kind of development of the Blade Soul Kingdom is actually quite normal. The royal family suppresses the big families, and those big families control the smaller families below. If they manage it level by level, the entire Blade Soul Kingdom will look more powerful than before.
It's stable.
In addition to these major events at the national level, there is Hu Xianer. Hu Xianer has now graduated from Daohun Kingdom and returned home. Of course, it is not that no one from the Hu family is entering Daojun Pavilion. There are currently five in Daojun Pavilion.
There are more disciples of the Hu family, three men and two women, than before.
The development of the Hu family is still the same as before. The Hu family is also the only big family that the royal family has not suppressed. Of course, this has nothing to do with the development of the Hu family. In the past two years, the Hu family has hardly developed much, only guarding the
In the past, my own property did not increase or decrease, nor did I conflict with the big family, nor did I get too close to the royal family. The Hu family seemed to have been forgotten.
Of course, those big families know the strength of the Hu family, and they will not provoke the Hu family. The royal family has always had a good impression of the Hu family, and the Hu family has always been loyal to the royal family, so the royal family has always taken good care of the Hu family.
.
The Hu family has been able to develop without any ups and downs in the past two years, which is already a remarkable thing. Of course, no small and medium-sized families who are open-minded dare to provoke the Hu family. In the past, those small and medium-sized families still wanted to provoke
A big family, and then take the opportunity to rise to power, because they have royal support behind them.
But it's different now. If they dare to provoke those big families now, those big families will deal with them first, unless there is a big family standing behind you, and you are provoking the rival family of your big family. This way,
No one will care about it. The Hu family has almost no enmity with anyone. Those who have enmity with people have been dealt with by Zhao Hai in the past two years, so now in the Blade Soul Kingdom, no one really dares to provoke the Hu family.
of small and medium-sized families.
Although Zhao Hai has not been in the Blade Soul Kingdom in the past two years, their reputation is still there. Everyone knows that the crazy troll from the Hu family is still alive. If you provoke the Hu family today, you may not be able to tell if you wait for the lunatic to come back.
What happened? If this happens, no one will dare to provoke the Hu family.
Everything is going well in the Blade Soul Kingdom, but not so well in the Wolf Soul Kingdom. In the past two years, a new round of annexation has begun among the tribes on the grassland. Now there are some tribes on the grassland that can compete with the Golden Wolf Tribe.
There are big tribes that are challenging, and as soon as these big tribes appear, they also officially declare that the era when the Golden Wolf Tribe unified the grassland is gone forever, and the grassland may enter a new round of killing, just like
A group of young and strong male wolves appear in the wolf pack. They always want to bite each other, and the one who wins in the end is the wolf king.
