Chapter 748: On the Possibility of Farming in the Abyss
The intelligence of the Abyss Demon is far higher than Adil imagined.
After coming to the abyss, Adier conducted many experiments in his spare time and tested all aspects of the devil.
What surprised Adil was that in terms of intelligence alone, demons were not only very good, but also surpassed many races he knew.
At least compared to ordinary humans, demons have much higher intelligence.
Although it cannot be compared with races such as elves, there is a reason for that.
The lifespan of the elves as a race is very long, and it often takes decades to go from childhood to adulthood. For some elves with ancient bloodline, it may take hundreds of years to complete this process.
And hundreds of years have passed, even if the innate wisdom is not very good, just relying on the passage of time, one's own wisdom and ability will be gradually improved.
At least compared to humans who mature in just one or twenty years, elves are slightly more intelligent.
The intelligence of abyss demons is much higher than that of humans, and generally can be compared with elves.
This result surprised Adier.
He originally thought that even if the intelligence of a chaotic creature like the Abyss Demon was not bad, it would not be much stronger.
But now it seems that chaos itself is just nature and has nothing to do with the intelligence of living beings.
Just like the IQs of some crazy people are often very high.
Nature and wisdom are relatively separate entities and cannot be generalized.
The intelligence of the Abyss Demon is also shown before our eyes.
Just like the castle in front of me.
When building this castle, Adil did not interfere too much in the whole process. He only handed over some of the drawings and information to the demons and let them study it on their own.
As a result, they actually researched it.
When a large piece of architectural drawings and information were placed in front of Adil, Adil's expression was very wonderful.
But he was surprised. To a certain extent, the demon's performance also made Adir very interested in activating the demon's labor force.
A highly intelligent workforce is a very precious thing.
In the wizarding world, highly intelligent races and slaves were often the favorites of many wizards.
As long as they are used properly, in the hands of a wizard, they can exert great value.
For Adil, these abyss demons are undoubtedly very high-quality assistant candidates.
On the one hand, they are very intelligent.
After eliminating their chaotic nature, as long as you find a way to let them work there honestly, the power they can exert will be enough to surprise you.
Of course, there are many races with strong intelligence, at least the elves in Adil themselves are very good.
But compared to the elven clan where Adil was born, the Abyss Demons have another biggest advantage.
cheap!
Yes, compared to elves, abyss demons are very cheap.
Even if we consider it as short, it will take at least fifty or sixty years for an elf to reach adulthood.
In this regard, the advantages of humans are even more obvious. It only takes them ten or twenty years to grow to maturity, which is less than half of that of the elves.
But compared to the demon clan, they are nothing.
What is the growth cycle of the Abyss Demon?
Less than a year.
It only takes less than a year for a demon to hatch from the initial demon worm to the mature little demon stage.
To be precise, it is even far lower than this value.
The reason is simple.
The growth of demons is not like that of elves, and races such as humans generally need time to slowly settle, let themselves mature slowly, and breed successfully.
Their growth is based on bloody killings. As long as they continue to kill and plunder power from other demons to mature their own soul fragments, they can quickly enter the maturity stage.
The growth and development periods that ordinary life requires are simply not needed for them.
The simplest example is Adier himself.
How long did it take for him to grow from the original demon insect to now?
One year? Half a year?
Not just two or three months.
In just two or three months, Adil grew from a newly born demon insect to a mature demon over two meters tall.
If this were applied to humans, they would probably be regarded as freaks.
In ancient times, people would have been soaked in pig cages and set on fire.
But in the abyss, this situation is very common.
As mentioned in the previous examples, demons are more idealistic creatures than materialistic ones.
Their initial existence is a fragment of soul derived from other lives, and their subsequent growth only requires the continuous development and growth of this fragment of soul.
As for their own body, it is not that important to them. As long as the growth of their soul can keep up, they can follow up quickly without becoming their own shortcoming.
For Adier, this characteristic of them has become their greatest advantage.
A race with a very short maturity period, a huge supply, and extremely high intelligence is right in front of you. What else are you dissatisfied with?
As for the so-called chaotic nature, this is only a trivial disadvantage.
There is no confusion between elves and humans, but is it a good deal?
Because of the above-mentioned characteristics of the devil, Adil started his own plan.
His plan is none other than projects developed to target various characteristics of demons.
For example, forming a group of demon warriors to become the strength of his subordinates, or transforming the flesh and soul of demons, and trying to do some experiments that could not be done in the past.
There are also attempts to implant witchcraft templates into the flesh and blood of demons so that they can gain the power of spells.
If he could accomplish all these projects, Adil's power would definitely expand immediately.
In fact, just now, Adil's men are no longer weak.
In just two or three months, he had pulled together a strong team and occupied a territory in this abyss.
Although this territory is said to be a place where birds don't poop, it is still their own territory after all.
Anyway, it is worth looking forward to.
"The next target..."
Sitting on his desk, Adier took away the thick pile of information on it, revealing the bottom drawing.
The drawing is light yellow and seems to be made of a unique kind of paper. It has something written on it, roughly writing the name of the project directly.
"On the recycling and reuse of abyssal land..."
A simple and easy-to-understand term is farming.
It's just farming in the abyss.
If the idea of farming in the abyss were spoken out, people would probably laugh at it.
A large group of knowledgeable and well-educated mages would pat Adil on the head with books and tell him what an unrealistic idea this was.
But after doing his own research, Adier found that this was still feasible.
In a normal world, the reason why plants can grow on the ground depends on the various elements contained in the soil and the energy provided by sunlight.
The same exists in these abyss. Even because of years of fighting and never being cultivated, the land in the abyss is much more fertile than the land in other places.
As for the source of energy, it is a bit difficult, but alternatives can be found.
The reason why most areas in the abyss have no plants growing is mainly because of the influence of the power of the abyss.
The power of the abyss is chaotic and violent, and is everywhere in the abyss world, permeating the entire world.
Under the ground of the abyss world, there is also a huge power of the abyss, which is entrenched in this place and cannot be eliminated at all.
With the influence of this power of the abyss, ordinary crops cannot survive in the abyss. They will be killed directly by the chaotic power of the abyss, leaving no room for them.
This is why there are no plants in the abyss.
As for normal evolution, allowing plants to survive in the abyss world is simply an unfeasible measure.
The evolution of life must also pay attention to the basic laws.
Even if you want to evolve, you must at least have a prototype.
And considering the terrifying power of the abyss in the current abyss world, any foreign life will be completely killed when it enters here, so there is no room for evolution.
When Adil's other clone Yasuo first came to the abyss world, he only stayed there for a moment before he couldn't hold on any longer. He had to use the power of the origin of the world to protect himself in order to prevent himself from being eroded.
Even Adil's clone is like this, how can ordinary creatures adapt to it?
Therefore, under normal circumstances, it is indeed impossible for other life to appear in the abyss.
Adil thought about this for a long time, and finally decided to focus his breakthrough on the devil.
Demons are the natives of the abyss. If there is any creature in this world that has the strongest adaptability to the abyss, it must be the demon.
Then there is another question.
No matter how you say it, the devil is still alive. How do you bury it in the ground and make it grow out regularly?
This is a big problem, but in front of him, Adil also has some ideas.
"It may be possible to fuse the demon's flesh and blood cells with the cells of some extraordinary plants to extract the bloodline patterns of both parties..."
Adier was very interested, studying these alone there.
In the entire material world, if it were in other fields, Adil might not dare to say anything.
But when it comes to the bloodline field, even if Adier dares not claim to be the first, he is at least among the best.
After all, he originally made his fortune by refining blood.
Later on, the Secret Book of Blood also helped him a lot.
At this moment it's just a matter of returning to the old business.
And just when Adier was in high spirits and focused on farming, a strange team also appeared outside the territory he occupied.
