Chapter 270: Come on, the goddess statue cannot grow anything.
Excuse me? This may be the most ridiculous thing Alice has ever heard in her life. Excuse me? There is no such habit at the bottom of the sea. I have heard that the empty people on the White Sand Island have this habit. The so-called empty people refer to people who live in the air.
humans in.
The world under the sea is more about robbing, killing, and enslaving.
Alice just touched it with the determination to die. These seaweeds are the staple food of dozens of people in their tribe. If they are stolen or eaten, all of them will starve to death.
This kind of thing has happened many times. The algae fields that once covered the entire seabed are now only a few dozen. Before she was born, the tribe was said to have tens of thousands of people, but now there are only a few dozen lonely people left.
The soldier was left with her only seedling.
In the past, she was full of fighting spirit, thinking that she would be able to protect the algae field, but now it seems that the most she can do is chase away the sea fish that are stealing food, and she doesn't even have the ability to fight back when she encounters an empty person.
What she didn't know was that not all empty people were this perverted.
As for the habit of compensation, there is no such thing in the underwater world, and more people are captured and eaten. For example, those snake fish and fish monsters that breed sea monsters will trap their lone tribesmen.
She was stunned, but Ange was not. He asked again: "What do you want?"
Alice bravely said: "You took away our entire family's food rations, and you have to pay for what we eat."
Ange reached out and took out a bag of grain, handed it to Alice and asked: "How many people are there in the whole family?"
As soon as the dry grain bag was taken out, it was filled with water, and there were strings of small bubbles. Alice opened a small hole in confusion, and the plump grains floated up.
Alice's eyes widened, she covered the small hole, and said in disbelief: "Will you compensate us for these?"
Ange nodded.
Alice showed a struggling look on her face, and after a long while she suddenly gritted her teeth and said, "Follow me."
She turned around and swam far away. After swimming for a while, Alice was worried that Kongman wouldn't be able to keep up. When she looked back, she saw Ange slowly following her, with bubbling bubbling behind him, and he didn't seem to be struggling at all.
It turns out that some empty humans can swim? Can they also breathe in water? The bubbles behind Ange after Alice are caused by breathing.
Seeing that Ange could keep up, Alice quickly accelerated and soon swam out of the seaweed field area and came to a seabed reef area. The area was like a naked boulder on the seabed, with holes on the surface.
Cave, like a huge open-pore volcanic stone.
Alice found a hole and swam into it.
Ange followed, swam through a narrow passage, and his head popped out of the water with a splash.
This is a closed space, because there is air in the space, and water cannot enter, forming a space with air, just like a bottle with the mouth of the bottle pressed downward into the water.
Alice couldn't wait to open the grain bag, picked up the soaked and plump grains inside, and took a big bite.
"Hey...it hasn't been cooked yet..." Nigris wanted to say something, but as soon as he said it, his voice became smaller and smaller, because it realized that there is no way to cook things under the sea. Even if it did, this female sea-woman would still
Gotta chew it alive.
Fortunately, Alice had good teeth. She chewed it slowly for a while, and her eyes became brighter and brighter. Finally, she swallowed the shell and germ together, and said excitedly: "It really tastes like food, and it tastes like energy."
It's not the taste of energy, but the taste of starch, the taste of 'sugar'. Of course, starch has high calories, and calories represent energy. She is not wrong.
"Really compensate us with food?" Alice was excited and excited. Food is much more valuable than the seaweed she grows, and it can even save lives in her tribe.
Why is this happening? Because rice has high energy.
The seabed is dark and lacks photosynthesis. The starch content in seaweed is very small. Most of it is water, plant fiber and protein. It is absolutely first-class for weight loss.
If the tauren aunt eats seaweed every day, the fat rings on her body will definitely disappear quickly.
But the problem is that the seabed is cold, the density of the water is high, and swimming consumes a lot of energy. It requires high-calorie carbohydrate foods, protein and plant fiber to keep hunger at bay.
The tribe of Hairen regards fatness as beauty, and Alice's tall figure makes her an ugly girl in the tribe. She either doesn't want to gain weight, or she just doesn't have high-calorie food to eat, so she is starving and thin.
The most caloric thing on the seabed is the subcutaneous fat of those marine creatures. In the past, the tribes of Hai people would hunt some marine creatures to eat. There were quite a lot of fat people at that time.
But now, as the number dwindles, they can only grow some seaweed on the seabed to eat.
Of course, she herself did not understand the reasons for this. These were all deduced by Negris later.
Anyway, Hairen are extremely short of sugar, so their eyes light up when they see the rice.
When there is a long-term lack of sugar, there will be many symptoms of hypoglycemia. For example, many of her people have hypoglycemia, and they can easily faint during strenuous activities.
Adding some high-sugar food from time to time can alleviate the symptoms, so she said it can save her life.
Ange nodded, found a relatively dry place in the cave, continuously transferred food, and then asked: "How many people do you have?"
"Six...sixty-four." Alice stared dumbfounded at Ange's ability to 'make something out of nothing', and the awe in her heart was even more awe-inspiring: the empty man could actually create food out of thin air...
This misunderstanding lasted for a long time, until Alice earned enough money and bought her first space magic weapon.
After losing enough food, Ange returned to the seaweed field on the seabed and requisitioned part of it.
Alice didn't have any objections at all, and she didn't dare to have any. Anyway, there were only about sixty people left in the tribe now. Planting a few dozen seaweeds would be enough for them to eat. If there were more, they wouldn't be able to take care of them, and they would be eaten by small fish.
of.
Ange inserted seaweeds one by one in the seaweed field, and then stepped on the ground. The seaweeds were quickly stimulated and roots grew.
After the roots grew, Ange cut off the footprints and stopped the halo of rapid death. The growth was too fast and the nutrients of the seaweed could not keep up.
After thinking about it, Ange got some soil from the farm, mixed it with diluted insect ash liquid, kneaded it into balls, and then fired it, and soon it turned into stone balls that looked like clay tiles.
Dig a new hole, fill it with clay balls instead of gravel, and plant seaweed.
The roots of the seaweed entangled themselves with the pottery ball, and then plunged into the mud, growing wildly under the aura of imminent death.
In the original seaweed field, the seaweed grown was up to thirty or forty meters long, but the one planted by Ange quickly grew to over one hundred meters long.
The larger the size, the greater the impact of the water flow. After it grew to more than 100 meters, an undercurrent surged in, and the seaweed was uprooted and floated away.
"You need something heavy to hold the seaweed down," says Negris.
Ange nodded, but where to find heavy things on the submarine plain? Looking around, Ange set his sights on the giant goddess statue.
"Don't be like this, don't be like this, that is the statue of the Goddess of Redemption, not a tool for planting things." Nigris persuaded him repeatedly.
Unfortunately, the persuasion was ineffective, so Ange piled up pottery balls at the base of the statue. This time, the pottery balls were not only filled with insect ash liquid, but also guano, dragon soil, plant ash and the like to ensure a balanced nutrition.
Then a rope was pulled between the legs of the statue to make a climbing net. The seaweed clung to the rope net and the rope was tied to the legs of the statue to disperse the impact of the water flow.
The only drawback is that it's a bit unsightly.
"Zobada, if the people of the Church of Light see you offending their goddess like this, they will definitely launch a holy war against you." Negris scolded angrily.
Ange tilted his head in confusion. Apparently he couldn't understand why it was offensive to use a statue of a god to weigh algae. He used a ring of scales to weigh things, and no one said he was offensive.
A large pile of pottery balls with a diameter of several meters was piled up. Ange only planted one algae tree because he discovered that algae floats in the water and has no weight pressure. As long as it can resist the flow of water, it can grow infinitely thick and infinitely long.
.
The larger a single algae grows, the higher the utilization rate of nutrients. Planting too much will be a waste.
In this way, an algae was stimulated by Ange, growing longer and thicker, extending towards the sea.
This seabed is only about 500 meters deep from the sea surface. If the algae can grow to 500 meters long, it can really rise to the surface.
While he was busy like this, a large number of bubbles suddenly appeared on the large rock in the distance.
Ange swam over and took a look, only to see Alice and her tribe hiding dozens of meters away from the rocks.
"What happened?" Ange swam over and asked.
Alice's tribe was shocked. They were all hiding, but Ange saw through their hiding at a glance. If Ange was the enemy, they had no ability to fight back.
On the contrary, Alice knew Ange's strength and didn't care too much. She answered directly: "The sea is breathing. Every night, it exhales air. There will be strong winds in the rocks. Let's go out and hide and wait for the wind to stop."
Does it happen every day? What is the principle? Does it expand with heat and shrink with cold? It's amazing.
Nigris was surprised by this magical physical phenomenon and didn't think much about it, but soon he discovered that Ange was staring at the bubbling rocks, looking thoughtful.
Nigris couldn't help but look at it a few more times, then thought hard, racked his brains, and finally came to a conclusion: The bubbling reef should not be used to grow things, right?
"What are you thinking about? Can this reef be used to grow things?" Negris asked tentatively.
Ange's weird and weird methods make it a little unconfident. Even if it thinks it can't do it, it has to ask Ange first to avoid being slapped in the face.
Ange shook his head and said, "It's windy here at night."
"Oh? It's windy at night." Nigris raised his head and looked at the dark surroundings, and asked without knowing why, the bottom of the sea was so dark that it was impossible to tell at night.
