He circled around the sacrificial platform, looking up, down, left and right, and finally fixed his gaze on the obelisk on the sacrificial platform.
"Where are my blueprints?! Where are my legendary rifle blueprints? Where are they?! You made the gun, but where are the blueprints?"
Of course, it was impossible for the obelisk to answer his question, and since the light pillar had not seen any movement for a long time, Li Xiao guessed that his drawings...
It should, I guess, I'm afraid...it's gone.
He never expected that the blueprint for the legendary long-barreled rifle was a one-time use, which really made Li Xiao feel miserable.
So, his straight middle finger pointed to the sky again...
…
After hatching three Argentine giant eagles, Li Xiao's domesticated creatures now have three more mouths waiting to be fed. Although they are three young eagles, their food intake is not small. Each eagle can basically eat every meal.
Three or four pieces of raw meat, plus other carnivores such as Tyrannosaurus rex, red-haired giant eagle, etc., creatures like Li Xiao consume a huge amount of food every day. In just two or three days, the raw meat obtained from collecting the corpses of giant eagles and allosaurus has been
It consumed a lot.
When all the food is consumed, Li Xiao can only kill the captive dodos, and when the captive dodos are gone...
Now a serious problem is before him - too many people and too little food.
The solution is also simple, you can start from two aspects: "reduce the number of monks" or "increase the porridge".
"Increasing porridge" is an effective and practical way - the blueprint of the greenhouse building has been unlocked, and Li Xiao is planning to expand the area for growing crops in the central island yard, and then build a greenhouse on the cultivated land to significantly increase crop production.
Of course, no matter how many crops there are, it will not directly solve the problem of feeding carnivores. After all, Velociraptors cannot be allowed to eat corn. The purpose of increasing crop yields is to raise more creatures in captivity that can be used as food, such as dodos and water dragons.
Such herbivores.
Once there are too many creatures in captivity, these creatures will be slaughtered to feed other carnivores.
This forms a complete food supply chain:
Grow crops, feed herbivores, then feed the herbivores to the carnivores, and finally use the feces they produce to grow crops...
A perfect cycle.
In addition, Li Xiao is also preparing to start by "reducing the number of monks."
As Li Xiao's strength continues to improve, Xunduo's domesticated creatures can no longer keep up with Li Xiao's needs.
The person who is most useless to Li Xiao now is undoubtedly Parasaurolophus, who has been with Li Xiao for a long time.
When he first tamed it, Li Xiao regarded it as a mount. Now, Li Xiao has many mounts, and each of them can run faster than Parasaurolophus, which has resulted in it being reduced to a tool for carrying heavy loads.
But the problem is, Li Xiao also has the super heavy load of Diplodocus, so the existence of Parasaurolophus is even more embarrassing.
Secondly, after arriving at the central island, the big-antlered deer that Li Xiao tamed can now be regarded as a dispensable creature.
In addition, there are those velociraptors that Zhou Qingyi tamed and were crippled by Therizinosaurus...
These creatures were already considered a burden to Li Xiao now, so Li Xiao was ready to release them.
Taking off the saddles on their backs one by one, Li Xiao and Zhou Qing led them to the open door.
Opening the tamed animals column on the light screen, Li Xiao and Zhou Qing looked at each other and saw the trace of reluctance in each other's eyes.
Humans are not grass and trees, so they can be ruthless. They already have some feelings for these domesticated animals that have been following them for a long time.
But they both understand that Arkworld is not a world suitable for mothers-in-law. In order to become stronger and for future development, they must do this.
The two pressed their fingers and finally clicked on the "Release" option.
Just like when they were tamed, the implants on their arms emitted light again, shrouding these creatures.
When the light dissipated, the subtle connection between Li Xiao and the domesticated animals was completely severed.
The expressions in the eyes of several creatures when they looked at their former masters also completely changed - it was no longer the familiar obedience before, but returned to the nervousness of a wild creature when dealing with other threats.
As if they were waking up from a big dream, several creatures looked at the yard and then at the vast world outside the yard, and then they all ran towards the door without hesitation.
"Did you see it?" Li Xiao said to Zhou Qing as if talking to himself, "Did you see it? They didn't even look back! What kind of relationship between humans and animals? Fake! It's all just systematic forced brainwashing.
That’s all. So if the domesticated creatures die in the future, don’t be sad, they... are just a group of wild beasts..."
Smiling to himself, Li Xiao turned around and returned to the yard, leaving Zhou Qing alone at the door looking out and waiting for something.
Zhou Qing's waiting was not in vain, because at the moment when the group of released domestic animals were about to leave the sight, Zhou Qing saw them all stop and all turned their attention to the yard.
Those eyes are full of joy for freedom, but if you look closely, you will find that there is still a trace of nostalgia and reluctance in their eyes.
After all, beasts are not vegetation, so how can they be ruthless...
…
After spending a week, Li Xiao successfully doubled the area of cultivated land in the yard, occupying half of the entire yard.
On the cultivated land, rows of transparent greenhouses were built, covering all the crops.
With six slender greenhouses and six main crops, Li Xiao won't have to worry about food for a long time.
As long as the greenhouse building materials are made of quartz, these six greenhouses have completely used up the quartz collected by Li Xiao on the central peak. For this reason, Li Xiao made another trip to the mountain to collect quartz.
With the food problem solved, Li Xiao's eyes turned to the machine tool blueprints unlocked after killing the elite Allosaurus.
To put it simply, the machine tool is an advanced version of the workbench. It can make more complex and advanced items that cannot be made on the workbench.
Making the machine tool requires a workbench, and a large number of metal ingots are needed for the materials. Fortunately, Li Xiao went up the mountain twice, and the metal ingots were no longer a problem, so the machine tool was completed amidst the clanging sound.
When it is placed in the treehouse studio, what strikes the eye is a huge machine that is four meters long, three meters wide and two meters high.
Below the machine tool is a huge base. On the base are several complex and extremely precise mechanical tools - drilling machines, lathes, welders, etc., all of which appear to be fully automatic.
Manual participation is required.
The operation of machine tools requires fuel, and fuel is made by adding animal hides to crude oil. Last time Li Xiao went to the ice field, he still got a lot of crude oil, so he burned some fuel.
Pour the fuel into the oil tank of the machine tool, turn on the machine tool switch, and several warning lights on the machine tool will light up, followed by a rumbling sound.
"Oh, let me go! High-tech!" Li Xiao turned his head and looked at Zhou Qing, with an unconcealable giggle on his face.
Looking at his unexperienced eyes, Zhou Qing rolled his eyes.
"Although this thing is sophisticated, you should have seen many similar ones on the original Earth. They are useless..."
"Hey - you don't understand!" Li Xiao shook his head, "This is the Ark World, and for me, in the beginning, a stone ax was my most sophisticated tool. You have only been in the Ark World for a few short years.
We will enter the electrical age in just a few months, so just have fun..."
