Jia Zhengjin set it for himself that except for the most basic three-piece set of axe, manuscript, and shovel, no other resources were allowed to be used, and all materials must be obtained locally.
At the same time, you can’t use spells when hunting, that would be boring!
In fact, without using magic, with his current physical fitness, he can easily catch the bird before it reacts.
Sure enough, he found an unknown bird jumping in the dead grass at the edge of the desert looking for lizards or insects. It only took Jia Zhengjin two seconds to rush forward and slap it to death.
[System] You get 1 piece of bird meat!
[System] You get 8 feathers!
[System] You got 1 bird egg!
[System] You have obtained corn seeds!
After collecting it, what I got was corn seeds. What the hell?
A little disappointed, I quickly looked around for traces of other birds, and soon found another one, so I rushed over to kill it.
[System] You got 1 piece of bird meat!
[System] You get 12 feathers!
【System】Get poplar seeds!
Sure enough, the tree species had a high probability of falling. Jia Zhengjin happily patrolled the surrounding area and hunted again.
A total of 8 birds were hunted, contributing corn seeds, peanut seeds, willow seeds, poplar seeds and a coconut tree seed.
Quickly go back to the house and plant willow seeds, poplar seeds and coconut trees slightly apart.
The seeds immediately turn into saplings, and the system tree species can grow into a big tree in just two or three days. If there is water for irrigation or fertilization, the speed will be faster.
Corn and peanuts need to be planted in farmland. Unlike tree species, which can be planted casually, they can be kept first. When these trees grow up, the wood can be cut down to make a hoe and the farmland can be reclaimed.
In the next few days, Jia Zhengjin worked hard to transform the terrain, and the results were good. He had successfully converted the land within ten meters around the house from sand to soil.
The three trees have all grown up. After cutting them down, a large amount of wood and seeds were obtained, and they were planted in a forest area next to them. The terrain looked much better than the bare terrain before.
Coupled with the tree species obtained from hunting every day, there will be a continuous supply of wood in the future and the green belt will become larger and larger.
As for farmland, since there is no water source yet, it cannot be cultivated hastily. Crops cannot grow without water, so groundwater needs to be found first.
Jia Zhengjin is serious about mining, but so far he has only found rock layers and not any ores, so he needs to continue searching.
Anyway, I built a stone matchbox room first, which is larger than the previous mud house.
Move the workbench and furnace to the mud house, transforming it into a workshop.
Then make a wooden bed at the workbench, and place the wooden table in the stone house as a new resting place.
The next step is to mine day and night, replace the terrain, and search for underground water resources.
Around the seventh day, the underground mine had been dug quite deep, and he finally discovered underground water and some scattered metal ores.
Now that there is water, wood, and abundant underground resources, work is even easier.
Smelt iron ore in the furnace, obtain iron ingots, and craft an iron bucket at the workbench. Ladle a bucket of groundwater up there, dig a pool next to the house and pour it into it.
When water enters the pool, it immediately begins to flow to the side. When there is only one block, it will not move and will not disappear. But when there are many square spaces, the water blocks will flow and spread to the side.
Scooping up the water in the next grid does not affect the existence of the water block in the first grid. If you pour it in again, it will become the second water block, and it will spread faster.
This is the infinite water bug. As long as you have patience, a bucket of water can turn into an ocean.
It was much more convenient to have water. Jia Zhengjin directly built a hoe, opened up farmland next to the pond, planted the crop seeds obtained from hunting these days, and watered them all.
Water the forest along the way to speed up the growth of saplings.
The next step is to wait for them to mature, harvest more seeds and other resources, and continue to expand the scope little by little.
Very few people come to this side of the desert. After so many days, except for the woman riding a camel whom I met on the first day, no one has appeared since.
This is good news for Jia Zhengjin, at least he won't be disturbed.
He still digs sand and buries mud every day, transforms the terrain, cuts down trees, and harvests crops to expand forest and farmland. Such boring work makes him feel particularly fulfilled.
Nuwa came here almost every day to check on the situation, stayed with Jia Zhengjin while he was working, talked about what he had seen every day, and then left silently.
By the twentieth day, the desert terrain had been invaded thousands of meters, and the border areas were planted with lush trees.
The ponds became larger and the farmland became wider.
Of course, the underground mines have also been dug deeper and wider below.
The entrance to the mine has been built by Jia Zhengjin like a warehouse. If you don't go in, you won't be able to find the passage leading underground.
Digging sand, burying mud, and continuing to be busy under the scorching sun.
"Ding ding ding ding~" the clear ringtone rang in my ears again, and the woman who appeared on the first day appeared again riding a camel, this time walking towards the desert.
When she saw the originally empty junction, there were three houses (earth studio, stone lounge and mine basement), pools, farmland and groves, and even some plants that could not be planted in such an environment.
The coconut trees, and Jia Zhengjin, who was still digging with a shovel, showed expressions of wonder.
Passing by here twenty days ago, she thought there was something wrong with the man who said he wanted to turn the desert into an oasis. But when she came back twenty days later, green actually appeared on the desolate land, and it was impossible to appear in such a place.
of trees and crops.
This is simply not something ordinary people can do!
The woman curiously rode a camel to the woods, stood under the shade of the tree and looked at Jia Zhengjin.
Jia Zhengjin turned around and looked at her.
"Fairy?" the woman asked curiously.
Jia Zhengjin looked at her face and found that her expression was completely different from the first day he saw her. It seemed that there was a thick black air shrouding her. There were also some divination techniques in the Thirty-Six Methods of Tiangang: "This girl,
I see you have a dark look on your face, I’m afraid the road ahead is dangerous! I advise you to turn back and don’t go forward!”
The woman smiled slightly: "I was ordered by my master to hunt down sand ghosts. Of course it's dangerous! I don't know what your name is?"
"What if you know, so what if you don't know?" Jia Zhengjin lowered his head and continued digging, "Girl, you'd better go back!"
"It's hard to disobey your master's orders!" the woman said, "Although that sand ghost is difficult to deal with, I am fully prepared and will definitely be able to take it down! Why don't I ask you for advice when I return!"
After saying that, she continued on the road on her camel and slowly disappeared from Jia Zhengjin's sight.
Watching the woman's back disappear into the desert horizon, Jia Zhengjin shook his head and continued working.
