Chapter 199 The New Oasis Conjecture (1600 months)
Shen Cong worked all morning, flooding the jujube forest, and finally harvested the spoils.
By this time it was already three o'clock in the morning and it was noon.
Steamed fish fillets, stir-fried prawns, steamed hairy crabs, this lunch is particularly hearty. In fact, it can be even more hearty. There are many kinds of evolved fish washed down from the lake, all of which can be used for cooking, such as river mussels, old turtles, snails, etc. etc., many types of dish-type evolved fish.
While eating the delicious food, Shen Cong was also thinking.
"If we divide it from the distance of Huoshan Oasis, Quanjiao County already belongs to the further barren zone. But the free activity here is quite rich, almost equivalent to that of Hefei... Could it be that there is an oasis nearby that radiates here? Become another rich belt?"
That world-destroying meteor shower obviously brought not just one meteorite fragment, but many meteorite fragments.
If it was really meteorite fragments that created the oasis, then the Huoshan Oasis would not be the only oasis.
"The strange thing is that even though this is a fertile zone, there are too many evolved beasts in number and variety. Especially the Huanglishu Reservoir on the mountain is full of all kinds of evolved fish. This number and density is far higher than that of Dongpu Reservoir and Dafang Reservoir. More. It has also mutated into a large evolved fish like the nerd fish.”
In the Dongpu Reservoir and Dafangying Reservoir next to Xinhefei, the fish caught are all ordinary evolved fish, and the number and variety are far less than in the small lake below Huanglishu Reservoir.
"The environmental conditions in the fertile zone...the dense species of evolved beasts..." Shen Cong felt that this place was a little different, but there was no way of knowing why it was different.
After lunch, dessert was served.
Take fresh jujubes into your mouth and enjoy the enhanced and wonderful taste.
"It's very sweet, very crisp, and the activity is normal 'living', and there is no possibility of planting. The strengthening effect is medium, very mild, almost the same as Wenwen sand pears, let's call it Wenwen jujube." I tasted the newly picked Wenzhou jujube. Zao, Shen Cong soon felt the familiar feeling of enhanced physical fitness.
This made him very satisfied. His decision to leave New Hefei was correct. Staying in the camp was just delaying his evolution.
"With the power of sixteen oxen, after eating this batch of mild jujubes, plus the exchange of King Kong, I may have to reach the power of seventeen oxen in 2.2 hours."
"Very good, that's it, continue to look for opportunities for evolution."
I ate more than twenty mild jujubes.
Take a nap and continue working.
All the active cores of the evolved beasts at the foot of the mountain must be harvested, all the chili peppers must be picked up, and some daisies must be picked to dry and make tea. The lakes on the mountain must also be cleaned.
"Maybe we have to camp here tonight."
…
Because there are so many types of evolved fish, and it is impossible to tell which fish has mutated, Shen Cong decided that from now on, there will no longer be special names for the weak evolved beasts.
Everything starts with "mutation". For example, a lobster with a purple-black shell that he was harvesting was directly named "mutated lobster", and then he simply recorded the photo and grade.
Only powerful evolved beasts will continue to be named by Shen Cong alone.
That stupid fish that was still as fierce as a tiger in the mud was named "tiger fish" by him.
Sometimes Shen Cong also thinks that naming is actually meaningless, because the mutation gap between individual evolutionary beasts is very large. The same species may mutate, and there will be huge differences. For example, violent great ape groups, violent great ape kings and Ordinary violent great apes have very different body shapes.
Moreover, basically, the evolved beasts that appeared in Shen Cong's "Doomsday Diary" are all dead... It is very likely that there will never be another identical evolved beast in the world.
He shook his head: "Keep naming them, always give them some trace of their existence."
After collecting the active cores, Shen Cong began to collect the foreign spicy insects. The foreign spicy insects were very threatening. If Shen Cong hadn't used the terrain to attract floods, it would have been difficult to eliminate this group of fist-sized mutant bugs.
Therefore chili got its own name.
"Let's call them spicy eyes. The two fake eyes look really disgusting and ruin my image as a sugar baby." When Shen Cong came up with the name, he thought of the old TV series "Flowers" from seven or eight years ago that he had just watched a while ago. "Thousand Bones", in which there is a character called Sugar Baby, who is transformed from a bug.
The eye-irritating food is only corrosive to the activity contained in the object and can be contained in a plastic basin.
Its poisonous parts are body fluids and active core burrs.
The burrs are easy to deal with. You can just use chopsticks to hold the spicy eyes and roll them on the wooden board. All the burrs will fall off. Then, with a slight shake, they will fall into the jar.
As for how to extract body fluids, it is also very simple. Prick the striped skin in the middle of its body, and there will be a pipe inside. The pipe is full of corrosive body fluids - Shen Cong named this green corrosive venom "pepper water". ", a very tasteless name, he himself admitted it.
The whole ground is full of thorny eyes, at least thousands of them.
Shen Cong spent an entire afternoon to deal with less than a thousand of them, and collected a full 30 liters of chili pepper water and a convenient bag of burrs.
There are still more than 2,000 burning eyes that have not been treated.
"We'll deal with it tomorrow. It's night now and it's not safe outside." Although his vision at night is not much different from that during the day, the habit of staying up at night and coming out during the day still made Shen Cong decide to arrange field work during the day as much as possible. When you are in your best mental state.
At night, I either work in the car or rest.
…
Night falls.
In the Donkey Kong carriage, more than a dozen honey bees returned to their hives after collecting pollen for a day. The honey bees worked with amazing efficiency. The collected pollen filled more than thirty hives. These hives were directly controlled by Shen Cong. They were brought back from the original hive and pieced together to serve as the home of this small colony.
Shen Cong saw how honey bees make honey.
There are three types of products produced by Honeybee. The most valuable is royal jelly, followed by Honeybee, and bee pollen.
It collects nectar and pollen. The pollen is brought back with the hairs on its body, placed in the pollen room, and mixed with nectar and saliva to make bee pollen. The nectar is spit out from the mouth, and bees have honey sacs in their bodies to hold nectar. , the yield is slightly less than pollen, and only fills seven hives.
After fermentation and brewing of nectar from one hive, a small bottle of honey treasure can be brewed.
In other words, this small group of more than a dozen honey bees, apart from their own consumption, can barely produce several bottles of honey bees and bags of bee pollen for Shen Cong every day.
"But there is no royal jelly produced...the queen bee still needs me to feed her with royal jelly. This is not a good sign. I will go back and starve the queen to see if the honey bees secrete royal jelly and feed the queen bee."
Eating mild jujube and drinking honey.
I looked at the bright blue and white night scene in the sky and found every familiar star. The whole day and night passed like this.
Before going to bed, Shen Cong held his laptop and began to update the "Apocalypse Diary" for the last time, writing down today's gains and today's doubts.
Why is the environment for evolved animals here at Huanglishu Reservoir better than the fertile zone where New Hefei is located?
