Survive through the ancient apocalypse

Ye Mingze originally planned to transplant the crystal plants in the seawater pool into impermeable water tanks, flower pots and other utensils, so there are many ready-made things at home.It's just that he didn't expect to harvest an extra batch of crystal plants, and the number of transplanted utensils was not enough.We can only make do with planting in large wooden barrels first.

Adhering to the principle of protecting important materials, it is natural to adopt the most convenient principle of proximity.Prior to this, Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi had remodeled the study room adjacent to their bedroom, and it happened to come in handy at this time.

We learned from Killer Whale No. [-] that these marine crystal plants do not have a strong demand for light, and some do not even need light.

The window of the study room was not specially enlarged, only some furnishings inside were removed.There is a desk and a low couch next to the window, and a three-fold screen separates this corner from other places, forming a world of its own.

The rest of the place is used to place crystal plants, everything from wooden barrels to large water tanks.Ye Mingze didn't care about other things, the only requirement was that it should be watertight and strong, so as not to cause cracks or something unsightly if he didn't pay attention.

After all, it is a sea-born crystal plant, and it is naturally seawater that relies on it.When Ye Mingze was still staying with the whales, Jiang Jingzhi sent his men to the beach to fetch sand and sea water.It's easy to do things with many people, and it doesn't take much time, and it's all done.

Jiang Jingzhi himself is a person with wood-type supernatural powers. For some reason, he did not pretend to be someone else, and instilled wood-type supernatural powers into Jingzhi himself.He had cast abilities on the greenhouse crops before, but now only [-] to [-]% of them have recovered.

When the ability is not very sufficient, Jiang Jingzhi can only reduce the amount of ability cast for each crystal plant.After Jing Zhi was nourished by the wood-type supernatural power, he changed his sluggish look just now, and immediately became energetic, with verdant branches and leaves, giving people a thriving scene.

The people with water abilities were not idle either. They purified the seawater and sediment one by one, and then Ye Zewu and his son took over.The crystal plants are first planted in the sand, and then filled with treated seawater.The process is very simple, but everyone is very cautious.After all, these are goods in short supply, and planting the good and the bad will have a great impact on the Ye family, and no one dares to be cautious.

In fact, there is no need to be so nervous.Crystal plants grow in seawater, and the water temperature is much higher than the air temperature, so they will wilt when they come out of the water.After Jiang Jingzhi injected wood-type supernatural powers, Jingzhi has already returned to its original state, and its vitality is even more vigorous. If there is no major trouble, there is no need for any accidents to happen to Jingzhi in a short period of time. There is no need for everyone to be so cautious.

Even so, Ye Mingze didn't say much, it is enough for everyone to have this kind of heart, there is no need to criticize them for such a solemn attitude.

The work of transplanting Jingzhi is easy to say, and when everything is done, the whole morning will pass.

Unlike other crops, marine crystal plants can grow normally in low temperature environments, as long as the indoor temperature keeps the seawater from freezing.After all, the utensils carrying them are not large in size and cannot be compared with the ocean.If the surface of water tanks and barrels freezes, the air content in the seawater will be insufficient, which will be unfavorable for the growth of crystal plants.

Therefore, the wall of the study will be burned every once in a while, and the temperature is not high, as long as the seawater does not freeze.

Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi took a nap after lunch.After the two of them finished their lunch break, the energy spent in the morning was immediately replenished by the afternoon nap, and they became energetic again.

Jiahui Jiayao is about to turn one year old, the two little guys have a tendency to talk recently, they are very talkative*, as long as someone is near them, they will express something.The adults were not too annoying, the two babbled, which brought a lot of joy to the elders.

In today's world, it is a very happy thing to hear the laughter of children, and no one is willing to refuse their closeness.

Jiahui Jiayao grew up and became more lively.When they are awake, at least two adults are needed to watch them.None of the Jiang family thought they were annoying.Li Zhen and Li Xue had a lot of free time, now that the weather is not so cold, they often come and rush out the door, and spend half the time every day with Lin Xiujiahui and Jiayao.Children, all yearn for excitement, and the more people there are, the more exciting it will be.

As the temperature gradually rose, Ye Mingze and Lin Wenjue both had things to do.The children were taken care of by Jiang's three mothers and daughters most of the time, and their dedicated servants assisted them.Jiang and the others looked at the child while they were busy with the matter at hand, and they were very happy.

Ye Mingze had time to watch carefully after all the marine crystal plants were planted properly.The light in the study was very weak. Fortunately, Ye Mingze, as a fifth-level sentinel, had strong eyesight and a wide field of vision.He looked at it closely under the not-so-bright light, and in his eyes, Jing Zhi was not too subtle, but not too different.

Among the thirty or so crystal plants, only five were used for the promotion of sentinel guides, and the others were used for the promotion of abilities.

Compared with the first time, this ratio has been much higher.Among the dozen or so crystal plants before, only one could raise the rank of Sentinel Guide, but this time there are five, far exceeding Ye Mingze's expectation.

I don't know why there are so few crystal plants for Sentinel Guide to upgrade.Logically speaking, the number of supernatural beings is only one-fifth of that of the sentinel guides, and the number of crystal plants that should be used for supernatural beings to advance is even smaller. Whoever imagined it, turned out to be the opposite.

There were too many incomprehensible phenomena, Ye Mingze didn't bother to think about the established facts, his thoughts flashed by, and then he turned to other things.

Ye Mingze remembered that the marine crystal plants obtained last time and the two terrestrial crystal plants dug into the mountains last year both had only first-grade crystal fruits, but this time they got different.Some of them belonged to the same species as the marine crystal plants from last time, and they looked like they came out of the same mold, but the crystal fruit growing on them surprised him.

In the same crystal plant, first-level and second-level crystal fruits are growing at the same time, and some even have third-level crystal fruits.The only thing in common is that they are not mature.

Since this happened to Haisheng Jingzhi, it makes no sense that Lusheng Jingzhi is a special case.Although the crystal plants are different, the crystal fruits are very similar, they are all transparent fruits with their own attributes, no matter in terms of color, size or shape, they are very similar.

So why did the water system and wood system crystal plants raised by the Ye family only grow one-level crystal fruit?If the reason is not clear, Ye Mingze feels that the loss will be huge.

The crystal fruit is as if nailed to the tree when it is immature, and it is difficult to make it out of the mother plant. Once it is mature, it can be picked without too much effort.This is exactly what the Ye family did. After taking these two crystal plants home from the mountain, they picked the mature crystal fruits and gave them to the corresponding supernatural beings who were at the peak of the first level.The effect of the crystal fruit is better than that of the magic crystal, and the amount of consumption is relatively small.

Because the two crystal plants are well taken care of by Jiang Jingzhi, a batch of mature crystal fruits can be harvested every few months, and the time varies.According to Jiang Jingzhi's conclusion, the different maturity times should be related to the total amount of wood-type abilities absorbed.Jiang Jingzhi didn't notice it at first, and he didn't notice the difference until the second crop of crystal fruit was harvested.

Under the same environment and under the care of the same person, the ripening time of the crystal fruit is different.Not only that, there is still a big difference between water-type crystal plants and wood-type crystal plants.Jiang Jingzhi is a wood-type power user. It seems that the wood-type crystal fruit favors him more. With the same wood-type power, the maturity period of the wood-type crystal fruit is obviously shorter than that of the water-type crystal fruit.

In view of this, after discussions between Jiang Jingzhi and Ye Mingze, they all believed that wood-type supernatural powers are effective for all crystal plants, but they are more compatible with wood-type crystal plants.In order to prove this conclusion, Jiang Jingzhi moved the water-type crystal plant to the greenhouse, where it was taken care of by wood-type and water-type supernatural beings.

The result was exactly as Ye Mingze and the others had imagined, with the participation of water-type supernatural beings, the growth speed of water-type crystal fruit and wood-type crystal fruit would go hand-in-hand, even if the overall absorbed energy was equivalent.

The Ye family only has wood and water superpowers. They not only need to take care of the greenhouse crops, but also purify the drinking water. Recently, they also need to participate in the purification of the fields. The growth rate is maintained at the level of one ripening every three or four months.

When these two terrestrial crystal plants were first dug back to Ye's house, the crystal fruit was ripe, and then they stayed in Ye's house for more than half a year, during which they matured twice, and were taken each time when they were just ripe.Jingguo is different from magic crystals. In addition to being used for upgrading, magic crystals can only be used to restore abilities. After taking Jingguo, in addition to the function of upgrading abilities, it can also increase abilities while restoring abilities. The upper limit of the ability content of the capable person.

This is the result Jiang Jingzhi inadvertently obtained when he harvested the first crystal fruit.That time when he picked it, he accidentally broke the skin of the first-level wood-type crystal fruit, and because he hadn't selected a person to advance, he simply ate it himself.In the past, Jingguo was used to upgrade, so no one discovered this function.After that, Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi gave up the idea of ​​selling the crystal fruit to the villagers, and reserved them for the Ye family to use.

Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi didn't understand the reason for the formation of the second and third grade crystal fruit at the time, just when they were about to give up temporarily and wanted to find the answer carefully later, Jiang Jingzhi frowned, as if remembering something.

"Mingze, let's go to the sea water pool to have a look. Since those crystal plants were planted, at first there were water-type and wood-type power users who cast redundant powers. There is a layer of ice, no one is sent to look after it, and I don't know how Jingzhi is doing now."

"It's been almost half a year. The terrestrial crystal fruit has matured twice, and the crystal fruit in the seawater pool should be ripe and safe." Ye Mingze speculated based on the existing information, "If it weren't for the extra harvest this time, I still want to wait for the temperature to be higher before sending people into the water to transplant them into the water tank. I passed by several times before and didn’t take a closer look. I just glanced at them and saw that they were still alive, so I didn’t add any more. Pay attention, this time you really have to look carefully."

Seawater pools are relatively small and not as hard to freeze as the sea.

No wonder Ye Mingze didn't think about it. The pond is still covered with ice, not too thick. No one broke the ice. If you don't look carefully, you won't be able to see the scene under the water.

Fortunately, the sentinel guide has a mental body, and the killer whale penetrated the ice and sank into the sea under Ye Mingze's signal.Ye Mingze stood on the killer whale, reached the weakest part of the ice in the center of the pool, smashed a spot with a stone, and shared the vision of the spiritual body under the faint light.

The pool is only a dozen meters deep, even if there is insufficient light, it is still enough for Ye Mingze to see Jing Zhi clearly.

It is exactly the same as Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi's guess, most of the crystal fruits are ripe.The difference is that after the first month, there are still a small number of crystal fruits that are not yet ripe.These are not the key points. What Ye Mingze is most concerned about is whether there are crystal fruits with second-level and third-level abilities.

This didn't disappoint him at all. Although the number was very small, at least the second-level supernatural fruit did appear.

After comparing with Lusheng Jingguo, Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi both thought of the crux of the problem. The difference between them is that Lusheng Jingguo was taken care of very well by them, and the first-level ability Jingguo can be used for other purposes as soon as it matures. , but these marine crystal plants are allowed to grow freely, even if the crystal fruit is ripe, no one picks it.

Both of them are not stupid people, and it is easy to think that if their estimation is not wrong, the second-level crystal fruit should be the first-level crystal fruit that has not been picked after it has matured, and after absorbing enough energy, it will be transformed into a second-level crystal fruit in one fell swoop shape, and re-growth and development.By analogy, when the secondary crystal fruit matures, if there is no artificial detachment from the mother plant, and if the energy is sufficient, the secondary crystal fruit can eventually transform into a tertiary crystal fruit.

Judging from the crystal plants obtained this time, the number of third-level crystal fruits is rare, and their growth must absorb a lot of energy.

The seawater pool is not big, and it is not a place with abundant energy. In addition, the crystal plants are concentrated, so the energy that each plant can absorb is naturally less.It's no wonder that after such a long time, there are still some first-level crystal fruits that are not yet ripe.

Things are different in the ocean.Where crystal plants grow naturally, there must be plenty of energy, which can be seen from the two crystal plants that Ye Mingze dug into the mountains.At that time, their growth environment was quite good, which was very suitable for plant growth.In the past, he didn't pay special attention to it, and only thought that Jing Zhi would pick the place, after all, those two places are fertile soil.Now that I think about it again, I'm afraid I have to add the reason of sufficient energy.

Thinking about it now, the crystal fruit is used for the advancement of sentinel guides and supernatural beings, and it contains a lot of energy. It seems that the energy needed for growth is a very normal thing, and it is not beyond people's imagination at all.

Jingzhi is much more valuable than magic crystals. Magic crystals are consumables. You have to risk your life to get them if you use one less. However, crystal plants are renewable resources. Once discovered, you can almost imagine the future. harvest.If others knew that the Ye family had so many envied Jingzhi, it would probably not be far from the Ye family's demise.

Except for the crystal plant that was used for the promotion of the sentinel guide, which was strictly kept secret, the rest of the supernatural crystal plant did not take protective measures.Ye Mingze didn't have the talent of a prophet. How could he have thought that the high-level supernatural fruit was transformed from a low-level supernatural fruit?

Fortunately, it is not too late to take preventive measures now. At that time, Da Lala planted marine crystals in seawater ponds. Although the crystals were only first-class, they were still useful in the early stage, and they were probably worthless in the later stage. But Ye Mingze still insisted on not worrying about the few but the unevenness, and he also issued an order not to let the Ye family members leak this news, including the villagers of Yejia Village.

The Ye family is really lucky, even if some villagers come to the Ye family occasionally, they will not go to the Ye family's field for a walk, and the news of the Ye family's Jingzhi has not yet reached the ears of the villagers.

This news was too urgent. After Ye Mingze realized the importance of Jing Zhi, in order to prevent problems before they happened, he sent people to pay attention to the speech and behavior of other villagers, and even issued a ban on the insiders of the Ye family.The Ye family couldn't bear the consequences of the news spreading out, so Ye Mingze had to be strict with him.

Regardless of the fact that the Ye family has a population of more than 10, and its force is strong, it is still incomparable to those forces that have tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people at every turn.To put it bluntly, Ye Mingze is also fortunate that after several years of natural disasters, the entire Daxing Dynasty has suffered a severe reduction in staff, otherwise the Ye family would not be able to stay in Yejia Village so peacefully and develop silently.

When Ye Mingze didn't realize that Jingzhi was so precious, Ye Mingze could still treat Jingzhi as a more important material, but now that he understands its importance, it has become a hot potato instead.It's good that outsiders don't know about it, but once the news leaks out, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Not only Ye Mingze thought so, but Jiang Jingzhi also had the same opinion.After knowing the gains and losses, Jiang Jingzhi moved the water-type crystal plants back to his own house, and selected one of each kind of supernatural powers, and cast their respective elements on the crystal plants of the corresponding attributes at regular intervals. Yes, what was cast was not Formed abilities, but the initial state of forming abilities stored in the body - the elemental form.

Otherwise, you can imagine the scene when the fireball or the earth wall enters the water, and you can't bear to look directly at it.

The more people who know, the less likely it is to keep secrets. People with different abilities don't need to enter the study room to directly contact Jing Zhi.Every time they only need to cast the supernatural elements in the water basin, Zhang Sen* only needs to be responsible for pouring the seawater containing various supernatural elements into the water tank and barrel where the crystal plant of the corresponding attribute is located.

Jiang Jingzhi still took care of the greenhouse crops, no different from before.

Many people in the Ye family know about Jingzhi, but they only know that these Jingzhi can produce first-class crystal fruit, but they don't know the deeper information.Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi knew the seriousness of the matter, and based on the idea that one less person knew more security, they did not make their conclusions public. Of course, the public refers to the Ye family.

Now it has entered late June, and the highest daytime temperature is less than minus five degrees.The hottest months of the year in Yejia Village are July and August, and the temperature in June is a little lower, only three or four degrees lower.From the temperature in June, it can be roughly inferred that the temperature in July and August this year will be the same, and it is estimated that it will not even reach zero.

The temperature is below zero throughout the year, and all Ye Mingze can think of is the concept of the Little Ice Age. It is said that there was such a climate in the Ming Dynasty, but it is far less serious than it is now.

This is the rhythm of burning kang all year round.Now is the time when manpower is needed everywhere, building simple greenhouses, chopping firewood, and cultivating food, it seems that there is a shortage of manpower everywhere.Everyone is so busy that they wish they could all grow tall and six-armed, but wishes are beautiful, and things still need to be completed one by one.

Ye Family Village is busy, at least there is still something to look forward to, very busy.In other places, we can only do our best and obey the destiny, and some smart people can think of a method similar to the greenhouse. After seeing the results, the people in the same village followed suit.People can't be suffocated by urine. There is no good idea in one's own village. It is still feasible to follow in the footsteps of other villages, but the action will be a little slower. It's better than nothing, isn't it?
