Dendrobium, a plant of the Orchid subfamily, is a precious Chinese medicinal material. In China, it was once sold at a sky-high price for a while. It is worth a hundred times as much as Cordyceps, because of its anti-aging ingredients. But because it has anti-aging properties.
It can be cultivated artificially, so it is impossible to have the price of Cordyceps sinensis that cannot be cultivated artificially. Later, precisely because it can be cultivated artificially, the price did not remain at a high level for long.
However, Jiang Li believed that the dendrobium-like plant in front of him could not be dendrobium. Limak would not make such a fuss about dendrobium, which is abundant on the earth. It is only not found on the earth, and it is rare in the Loma Federation.
He would only remind Jiang Li of things with unique ingredients.
"Golden heart orchid, also known as purple heart orchid, belongs to the family Orchidaceae. Its juice has a strong hallucinogenic effect. It can be applied externally or taken internally. It has side effects. It is indeed a good thing. This is available in the Loma Star Federation.
It is classified as a special rare resource because its cultivation cost is extremely high and its growth conditions are very harsh. Captain, you have a good assistant, I am envious of it." As soon as Jiang Li's hand came closer, Wa Huang Xiushi picked up one
Zhu looked at it and then reported the name.
Jiang Li was surprised at first, and then relieved. He was an elite child of the largest family in the Federation, and the family's focus on training. Not to mention that today's education and learning methods can make it possible to learn an entire subject in a few days.
If you put it into your mind, being knowledgeable and talented has long been a common phenomenon in the Star Loma Federation. With his strong family background, it would be very easy to give Wahuang Xiushi an assistant who is no worse than a Limak II type.
With such an assistant and the powerful memory of Bowen, how could he not recognize this thing?
Can a hallucinogenic effect without side effects qualify as a special scarce resource? Obviously it is not enough. Anything that can be labeled as a "resource" must be related to social development or the key to the development of science and technology.
Things, and they are indispensable things. What things are plants but are indispensable to the Star Loma Federation today? Then it is very likely that there are only "medicines"! And it is everyone, at least the vast majority of people.
Everything you can use![
It cannot be food. Even if it is food, anything less will have no impact on anyone. Therefore, it cannot be said to be a resource. For example, on the earth, food can be said to be a resource, but it only refers to one kind.
Grains, such as rice, are rarely considered resources, because in addition to rice, there are also wheat, corn, etc.
However, Mark is here.
Sure enough, just a few seconds after Jiang Li's mind was spinning, Limak gave his deconstructed answer: "Boss, don't listen to his nonsense. It is true that this is the Golden Heart Orchid, but it grows in
Near the environment full of dark energy, there is a mutant golden-heart orchid. With this thing in hand, it can be used to extract the cell stimulant that must be used in the Type III living water being developed by the federation. The old men at the federal academy of sciences are stuck looking for it.
You can't get such a powerful stimulant with no side effects. It's developed, it's really developed now, boss." Limak was full of excitement.
"Golden Heart Mao Lan?" Lin Zhiyang and the others also came up at this time, and Lin Yuyao also received what Jiang Li said, saying that Shi fungus is one of the daily sources of vitamins for people with black hair, and it cannot be used anymore.
After picking it, he stopped his work of modifying the manipulator and went outside. When he saw the golden-hearted orchid in Jiang Li's hand, he screamed in surprise.
"How about it? I didn't expect it. We have this here too." Jiang Li chuckled. Before he spoke, he saw the wink that Wa Huang Xiushi gave him, and he immediately suppressed the word "resources" in his stomach without vomiting.
come out.
"It's unexpected, but since there are so many luminous stones here, it's not surprising that golden-heart orchids appear. This is an important component of type two living water. It's not easy to cultivate it." Lin Yu sighed.
He said, "I didn't expect it to grow so easily here. And our family, every time we cultivate one, we don't know how much resources it costs. This is something that even the second-type living water has never been able to do."
The main reason for mass production.”
It is indeed a resource. Type II living water is something that everyone must drink, and a quota system has always been implemented. Of course, this quota system is only for small families and ordinary people. For a big family like them
, or you should have as much as you want, otherwise Xuanyuan could be so generous and give Jiang Li a box at once?
"Oh, its cultivation requires the use of luminous stone?" Luminous stone is a relatively scarce resource in this universe, but it is not a special-grade resource. However, it was once a special-grade resource. Later, because of the discovery of how to obtain antimatter,
The luminous stone has been relegated to the position of a Grade A scarce resource. Of course, the Golden Heart Orchid cultivated with Grade A scarce resources can only be a special grade scarce resource.
"Yes, the growth environment of golden heart orchid cannot be separated from light, especially the light that overflows after the luminous stone accumulates energy. This kind of light cannot be simulated artificially at present, although we have already
I have mastered all the spectrum of this kind of light." Lin Yuyao nodded, squatted down, and looked at Jinxin Maolan carefully, a little reluctant to leave, "It's a pity, if it was more convenient to get here from the Federation.
How nice it would be.”
Jiang Li probably knows what Lin Yuyao means. If travel is convenient, then the production of Golden Heart "Mao" orchids can be greatly increased, and the production of type II living water will not be restricted. But now, Golden Heart "Mao"
Orchid has become a good thing that can only be seen but not eaten. From the information Limak gave him, we can know that the juice of golden-hearted orchid is highly volatile. If it is tanned
The dried golden orchids have almost no value at all. What the second-type living water needs to extract is its fresh juice.
Since it needs to be fresh and the juice must not evaporate easily, the transportation cost will be much higher than that of dried food. Such a high cost is already higher than that on the Loma Star.
The cost of cultivation has no value, so Lin Yuyao feels regretful.
Unfortunately, after a while, Lin Yuyao went back again. The robot hand was not changed, but the several kilograms of stone fungi still needed to be washed, so they could only wash them by hand. Lin Yuyao, who also liked to eat, was very conscious.
Now he has to go back and help Feng Ling deal with it. Who asked him to take over the task of modifying the robot hand.
"Tsk, tsk. I didn't expect that the second-type living water would use this. It needs luminous stones to cultivate. No wonder the supply is always in short supply. It's a pity, it's a pity." Ji Liaofei started shaking his head again, pity that there is so much luminous stone.
If the luminous stone in this new Heizi galaxy is not filled with dark energy, he will still be willing to pick up the pickaxe and dig it out. Of course, there is no luminous stone without dark energy.
Stone will not show "properties" similar to "liquid". It is just stone.
When it comes to bringing some dark energy into this universe, with the size of this universe, not to mention bringing the entire New Black Star, it means bringing ten thousand times more volume back to this universe, and with the size of this universe,
Compared with the huge volume, this thing is like a drop of water flowing into the ocean, and it will not destroy the balance of dark energy and dark matter in the universe at all.
But between this universe and the "Colorful" universe, it will definitely destroy the balance. No one has done any research on whether a unit of dark energy can cause disturbances and cause a new cosmic explosion. It still needs to be counted.
In units of trillions? No one dares to take this risk. If you want to do an experiment, you must do it under well-prepared conditions. With the current conditions of the Galaxy Action Team, they simply don’t dare to do this experiment.
But it inspired Jiang Li. Since there is luminous stone on this new black star, it will be much easier to plant purple fungus than in the Tu base. Purple fungus is also a plant that likes shade. When Jiang Li discovered it
At that time, it was growing in the bushes on Canglan Star, and the light was blocked by the bushes. Therefore, on New Black Zi Star, we only need to introduce the light from the ground through ordinary mirrors in the cave near the water source.
Underground, and then supplemented with the light emitted by luminous stones, they can be planted in large quantities, which can also bring a supplement of vegetables to the Heizi people on the new Heizi planet.
Relatively speaking, planting purple fungus in Xinheizixing is much simpler and easier than in the "Tu" base. The environment here ensures that there will not be so many pests and diseases, and the energy spent on manual care is higher than in "Tu".
There are much fewer bases in the "Picture". Look at these children, even green silk moss is their collection object, and you will know how rare vegetables are on New Black Star.
"Let's go, I'll take you to pick better things." Jiang Li patted the leader. After seeing so many people coming up, the child stood aside a little restrained, twirling his fingers with each other.
head.
"Sir, are you talking about the bottom of the Great Rift Valley? There is no good stuff there. We all know what we can pick." The child didn't believe it. Why would the adults in the Great Rift Valley encourage them to come down and take risks when they are ten years old?
Just because the area where things grow is exactly where children like them can reach. If you go deeper, nothing will grow.[
"I'm not talking about the Great Rift Valley, but on this spaceship, we have planted a lot of things." Almost all the available corners on the battleship have been used to grow purple fungus. It can be said that purple fungus is very popular in many places.
To a large extent, it has reduced a lot of the burden of air conditioning on old ships. Planting plants on warships can be said to kill two birds with one stone. It solves the problem of fresh vegetables and the problem of breathing gas.
"Yes, we can actually raise sheep!" Jiang Li slapped his head and realized that sheep excrement and urine can be used as fertilizer, and purple fungus or some other ornamental plants can grow faster.
Herbs that are fast and can be used as feed for sheep can solve the feed problem. This is a small cycle.
To put it simply, a small carbon cycle system, a small ecosystem, was established in the battleship. Jiang Li remembered a closed space experiment led by the United States more than 20 years ago, in which a large number of plants were planted.
It is isolated from the outside world and does not exchange any materials with the outside world, such as air, water, etc., everything is supported by this artificially built small ecosystem. It can be said to be independent of the earth's large ecosystem and has been connected to the earth.
ecosystem.
It was an experiment to prepare for the future when humans land on other planets and develop and build human living bases. Jiang Li didn’t know how many years that experiment had been conducted, but it should have been successful. People on earth can do it, and that experiment
The space is smaller than the internal space of current battleships, and a battleship with super artificial intelligence like Lao Chuan can do it even more.
The only thing that needs to be solved is the pressure resistance of animals during the acceleration of the spacecraft. Battleships do not have that luxury and can be equipped with a large light bath equipment, but there are still medical equipment similar to light baths, but the effect is far less than that of light baths.
So strong, for the Galaxy Action Team who have already undergone light bathing, it can only be effective as a means of auxiliary recovery when their limbs are injured. But for Heizi people and animals who have not experienced light bathing
.It still has a certain effect.
If it weren't for the limited energy, Jiang Li would like all Heizi people to receive this treatment. It would be impossible to improve the stress resistance of more than ten or twenty grams, but it would be no problem to increase the stress resistance by three or four grams. Moreover, animals
The ability to withstand pressure is stronger than that of humans. People who have not undergone photobath transformation can withstand the pressure of 30 to 40 g in an instant without dying. As for animals, they should be able to withstand 40 to 50 g in an instant, right?
During the courtship period, the instantaneous momentum when sheep fight with each other and hit their horns is really tens of g. If humans had hit like that, they would have died long ago, but the sheep were just like that.
Even if you really need to accelerate for a long time, it doesn't matter. As long as you protect a pair and stuff them into the freezer, you don't need to worry about the rest.
Just do it if you think of it. People cannot breed inbreeding, but for sheep that are raised to be killed and eaten, there is no need to consider this issue. Even if there are only two sheep, one male and one female, a large group can be bred. When Jiang was a child,
When I helped my family herd sheep, I saw with my own eyes the sight of a male sheep from the same litter lying on top of his sister or elder sister. For sheep, there is no ethical statement. Everything is driven by instinct.
"You're not going to say that the dozen or so goats you brought are all rams or ewes, are you?" Jiang Li poked at Wa Huang Xiushi, deliberately falling half a step behind and slowing down.
"How could it be? There used to be only three pairs, but now there are more than a dozen. We even ate a few on the way, what do you think?" Wahuang Xiushi smiled, and followed half a step behind to slow down, waiting until Lin Zhiyang
After they were far away, they lowered their voices and said to Jiang Li, "Actually, our family also knows the formula of type 2 living water, but we don't produce it, so we asked you not to tell it."
Jiang Li nodded, and after a little thought he understood the plan of the Wahuang family. As the largest family, it is the focus of everyone's attention. No matter what they do, there will be those small families and ordinary people watching. If they still have a monopoly
If you buy something or participate in a monopoly, you will not be recognized to the greatest extent. It may be triggered by some trivial matter, which will put the Wahuang family into an unpleasant situation under siege by public opinion.
Therefore, the best way is not to participate in the monopoly of those important resources and not to give anyone an excuse or excuse to attack. Not participating in the monopoly of important resources does not mean that they have no other ways to maintain their strength. Jiang Li is deeply aware of this.
Experienced.
Let’s just talk about salt. In any society, any country, or even any planet or civilization, it is an extremely common thing. It costs more than one yuan per catty. Is it cheap enough? So cheap that no one will notice it, but
Who would have thought that table salt contains high profits? The price of a pound of salt is not high, but the advantage is that everyone cannot live without it. From birth to death, everyone needs salt, even if they press bricks
Experts say that each person consumes five grams per day, which is close to two kilograms per year. The salt consumed in a lifetime is nearly 150 kilograms. Plus the salt used elsewhere, everyone consumes at least one in their lifetime.
Two hundred kilograms.
Two kilograms per person per year, how much is 1.3 billion people? 2.6 billion kilograms! Even if the profit per kilogram is only 0.5 yuan (actually more than that, the profit of one kilogram of salt is at least one yuan), that is a steady stream of ten kilograms per year.
A huge profit of 300 million yuan. This profit cannot be affected by the economic depression! You don’t have to eat big fish and meat, you don’t have to eat vegetables, you don’t have to buy clothes, you don’t have to have a house or a car, but you can have a lack of salt.
No? No!
Therefore, the salt industry will be monopolized. Originally, sea salt can be eaten directly after being dried, but it has also been labeled as "poisonous" industrial salt! Private sales of salt are not allowed. Why do you have to add iodization? You are not allowed to sell it privately.
In the current transportation and logistics environment, it was easy to obtain salt privately, so iodization was used as a threshold.
Even in coastal areas where there is no iodine deficiency, those who do not need to consume iodized salt still sell iodized salt. For some people, what does it matter to them if people consume too much iodine? What they are looking at is money!
(The consequences of excessive iodine are more serious than iodine deficiency. Therefore, it is strongly recommended for book friends in coastal areas that if you often eat seafood, it is best to stir-fry the salt used in cooking at high temperatures.)
This is a huge hidden wealth that guarantees harvests despite droughts and floods. Most people will not notice it. The Wahuang family should control resources similar to this. It is not obvious and has hidden high profits, which makes the Wahuang family able to be like this.
Sitting firmly on the top spot of the largest family for many years has also prevented the public from paying too much attention to them. This is a very successful strategy.
It is even possible that the Lin Chang family's formula was deliberately told to them by the Wahuang family in a secret way. As the saying goes, if the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them. If the trees in the entire forest are tall, then it will be so
If one tree is taller than the others, it is also very safe.
After thinking about this, Jiang Li's heart suddenly became hot. If Huaxia had not migrated to Huaxia Planet, and if Jiang Li was not his current identity, then he would not think about it and would not dare to think about mastering it.
A certain resource, but now that he has figured out the attitude of the Wahuang family, Jiang Li's inner ambition has swelled. If he can master this variant of the Golden Heart Maolan, then he will not be in Luoma.
The Star Federation has nothing left, so I can only live on some points from my position.
In China, he was very rich, but when it came to the Star Loma Federation, it was not enough to look at, and it could not even be considered wealth! (To be continued...)
