Wolf King

From the outside, the building complex of the Snow Wolf Tribe is astonishing in scale, not like a tribe on the grassland; when entering it, the eyes of the five snow elves, including the two wounded lying on the sled and unable to move, all stared round... Why is the painting style so wrong? !

People who like to plan things properly, plan clearly and then use their hands and feet are more or less obsessive-compulsive. Xiao Yun's obsessive-compulsive disorder is reflected in the construction of the tribe, that is, ignoring the so-called geometric aesthetics and making the living area the greenhouse area and the industrial area. The buildings are all planned to a standard standard, and all the houses have to be lined up, just like pacesetters - when he started to burn cement in the temporary earthen kiln, he had to line up in a row, it's conceivable...

There is absolutely no market for Xiao Yun’s aesthetic feeling of scattered, disorderly, bright, and irregular. His aesthetics are always minimalist and pragmatic: concise, refreshing, neat, and regular. Everything should be arranged in rows. Irregularity is equal to hot eyes!

After finishing the work, when picking up the farm tools, they must be neatly lined up with the same side facing outwards and the handles aligned!

Hmm... In Xiao Yun's eyes, this kind of arrangement of buildings that is full of coolness is quite anti-social in the eyes of the snow elves who pay attention to the elegant layout-such a square arrangement of houses is not good for living. Will it be depressing?Is this a place of residence or a military camp?The tents in the military camp are not so rigid!

The strong impact of the difference in aesthetics caused the group of snow elves to ignore the architectural skills of the snow wolf clan for a while...

The wounded were moved into the warm prefab room, and the furnishing with the traces of the green dragon finally made the snow elves who had been raped breath a sigh of relief. The carpet on the floor was simple and elegant, and the arabesque pattern was barely enough for the eyes of the elves. , the tables and chairs full of original flavor can be regarded as a rough beauty, and the white animal-shaped ornaments on the window sill are also qualified to enter the study of the snow elves——

Sergeant Selena was stunned for a moment, turned around suddenly and bowed her head, her hair was hanging on the window sill, her mouth was wide open, and her chin dropped... This, what kind of material is this ornament?How can it be so transparent, white, round and smooth? !

Xiao Yun supported Qingyan to lie down, turned around and saw three snow elves surrounded by the window sill, and turned to look at Balk unexpectedly: "You put the porcelain out?"

It stands to reason that Balk doesn't need to come to the mobile home, but this guy insists that he is not taken seriously as a wounded person, and he will squeeze in no matter what.When Xiao Yun asked, this guy immediately forgot the previous depression like a child, and proudly said: "Of course my works by Balk should be placed in a conspicuous place...Ah Yun, let Balu build a bookshelf, copper-plated That's good, didn't you earn a lot of copper coins?"

"Where do we get books that can be placed? We built a bookshelf just to show off to you?" Xiao Yun said angrily.

After hearing what they said, Selina reached out to hold the palm-sized white wolf ornament, and leaned over with a surprised face: "This is... a work made by Lord Balk?"

"Uh……"

"That's right, it's me." Balk raised his chin, his eyes and brows were filled with pride, "The unique white porcelain ornament, modeled after a big river, is elegant, arrogant and pure, even more perfect than the wolf of the snow wolf clan..."

"You can make Dahe's human figure and blow it up." Xiao Yun said with a blank expression.

Balk turned his face away and looked at the ceiling.

"In terms of shape, this ornament is not outstanding." Sergeant Serena played with the small white wolf porcelain, "But I have never seen this kind of material, Lord Balk has such a talent, It’s really eye-opening.”

Balk didn't answer this time, his chin pouted, and he rolled his eyes at the female soldier in disgust... You don't understand aesthetics, Master Balk doesn't care about you!

Xiao Yun originally planned to use the porcelain trade to gain a wave of favor with the snow elves. Seeing that Selena praised the material of the porcelain, he immediately took the elves to visit the tribal porcelain warehouse...

"At present, our tribe's relatively mature technology is to process porcelain into tableware, such as plates, bowls, saucers, cups, larger vases, pots, etc., limited by technology, and we can't make it yet." He took it out and handed it to the three of them. Xiao Yun introduced it very modestly... This is not a deception. It takes time and effort to make a large piece, and the scrap rate is high, so there is not so much manpower to waste.

Selena, Ed, and Xiu passed it on with amazed faces, Sergeant Selina gave Xiu a wink, and Xiu said wittily first: "Ah Yun, do you also trade this kind of tableware? ?”

Sergeant Selina didn't speak because she was worried that Ayun's offer was too high and she wouldn't be able to bargain.

Xiao Yun smiled purely: "Of course, our tribe can't use so much. In fact, we traded a batch to the forest elves last year. The forest elves were very generous. They exchanged sun cloths of equal weight with us and gave us We have a lot of fruit."

Xiu Yi trembled and almost lost his grip on the white porcelain cup, Sergeant Serena staggered even more...

The snow elves exchanged glances, and there was only one thought in their minds: Those green skins are so wicked!Cheeky enough!

Xiao Yun pretended not to notice their gaffe, and tilted his head and said, "Do you like these tableware? Will the Snow Elves trade with us?"

"Ahem, um!" Sergeant Selina seriously... pushed Xiu aside, "Ah Yun, we are indeed very interested, but the snow elves don't produce suncloth, what do you want to exchange, gold? "

"This...we don't intend to exchange porcelain for gold." Xiao Yun smiled honestly, Sergeant Selina's heart tightened, and she heard the cub say, "If possible, I would like to exchange some of your armor inners. Paint on top of it, okay? A little less."

This time it was Selena who was surprised: "Do you want to exchange for magic iron ore powder?"

A bright light flashed in Xiao Yun's eyes, and sure enough... the name of aluminum silicate in this world has been changed to a more localized name.

The temperature on the grassland is indeed too low. Even in spring, summer and autumn, the temperature difference between day and night is more than ten degrees, not to mention winter. If you want to take root on the grassland to farm and make a fortune, you must develop insulation materials.

The first thing that entered Xiao Yun's thinking was soft porcelain, which is inseparable from the home decoration industry.

Soft porcelain is the most economical and affordable type of insulation material. Inorganic materials such as waste soil from urban construction, cement waste, porcelain slag, and stone powder can all be the main raw materials for soft porcelain. However... the processing procedures are too demanding, and Balk After so long, experiments have been done again and again, the processing technology of soft porcelain can only be limited to the laboratory, and there is no way to mass-produce at all-the progress of science and technology requires the advancement of technology trees, and the overall industrial level is not as good as that. One step, if you can't do it, you can't do it.

The "development" of soft porcelain was put on hold, and Xiao Yun turned his attention to aluminum silicate... Then, he encountered the same problem as soft porcelain: there is no industrial support, and its processing can only be completed in the laboratory. mass production.

The melting of the electric arc furnace relies on Balk's material mimicry magic to form, and the process of filtering, washing, drying, and jet crushing also requires Balkron's manual operation. If you want to implement these steps in the industrial manufacturing of energy production, it is difficult...

Under unimaginable circumstances, Xiao Yun could only plan on paper the ceramic tile production plan to be carried out next year. Of course, this thing cannot replace soft porcelain, but it can be useful to some extent...

After getting in touch with Ai De and Xiu, Xiao Yun had a new idea. At the beginning, he took the risk to keep the two snow elves for friendship. The most important reason was that he found the snow elves There is a layer of aluminum on the inner coating of the armor.

The raw materials of aluminum silicate are not uncommon. Andalusite, kyanite, and sillimanite, which are common in metamorphic rocks, are all aluminum silicate. The difficulty lies in the processing technology. Since we cannot produce it ourselves, we now have the opportunity to purchase it from outside. Xiao Yun naturally had to give it a try.

"I don't know if it's called this name, but this one looks good to me, can I change it?" Xiao Yun pretended to be very worried and asked.

The snow elves meet again...

"Of course...it can be exchanged." Sergeant Selena's eyes wandered, her voice was a little dry, "Then...following the forest elves' trading model, I will exchange porcelain with the same weight with you? Magic mineral powder... Processing is much more difficult than sun cloth..."

Ed and Xiu looked at their superiors with great admiration, yes sergeant, very courageous!

"That would be great!" Xiao Yun nodded happily, "Thank you for willing to trade with us, I want to tell the two patriarchs the good news!"

Then he ran out happily...

The Snow Fairy silently watched him go away, and Qiqi heaved a sigh of relief.

"This kind of thing is really... so embarrassing." Sergeant Selina blushed, and raised her hand to wipe the sweat. "Fortunately, there are forest elves in front of us, otherwise it would be too embarrassing."

"Yes, sergeant, we are at least more sincere than the forest elves." Ed stroked the white and elegant porcelain plate with a happy face, "The exchanged white porcelain tableware can be given priority by our army, sergeant, I remember the logistics inventory There are still several thousand catties of magic iron ore powder."

"What are you thinking, it must be handed in." Selina gave him a white look, "It's not bad that our legion can keep two achievements."

Ed and Xiu Qiqi lamented...

Xiao Yun went out for a stroll, said a few words to the grassroots patriarch who was busy working in the earthworm shed, and then turned back happily...

If you think about it, it’s not a lot of money. This business is very profitable, and you can make a lot of money if you move it to the earth-a ton of aluminum scrap costs thousands of dollars!

Of course, the processing technology in this world is relatively lax, and the quality of the finished product is not as good as the waste on the earth, but it is still bloody money!There are so many inferior aluminum silicates, the inner layer of the greenhouses in the tribe can be coated, and when the temperature is low, there is no need to worry about the crops being damaged due to the low temperature in the shed. It is really beautiful!

When he came back to receive the snow elves, Xiao Yun’s smile was so sincere that he couldn’t be more sincere. First, he used five hand-made, colored Q-version flower essence ornaments as sugar-coated shells, and it was also a food treat, with various snow wolf characteristics. Snacks were opened, and when the snow elves were full, they were taken to visit the production labor of the Snow Wolf Tribe—this step is the most important and must not be omitted!

When the forest elves came, Xiao Yun took them to visit!

Of course, this is not to show off wealth, but to let the elves intuitively feel the determination of the Snow Wolf tribe to produce and get rich... Our tribe's energy is spent on production, we are obedient people like lambs, and we have nothing at all ambition!

Hmm... It hurts my self-esteem to say it so bluntly, but this juncture is really not the time to save face-you are living in a settlement like the Tiger Clan, and a large number of adults and soldiers gather together. What do you want to do? ?

The Tauren's kind of saints bother the Tiger Clan, can the Elf Clan treat the Tiger Clan?You snowwolves also want to take the route of the tigers living together and dominating. Let's use our knees to guess, can the elves sit and watch you grow like a normal person?

At present, there are about 1000 people living in the tribe. This number is not as good as an elf village. Maybe the elves don't like it for the time being, but what about after you gather 5000 people? What about after 1 people? What about after [-] people?

Instead of waiting until other people start to doubt you, then come back and beat your chest, stamp your feet with tears in your eyes, and say, "I still believe in love... Cough cough, it's better not to let the melon fields grow, and don't give the soil for doubts to breed. The so-called details determine success or failure, and a good fighter has no great achievements." , it is used in this place—otherwise, why did Xiao Yun take the initiative to lower the price and sell all the products produced by himself as cabbage?Among other things, doesn't he know that porcelain can be priced out of the sky?

In the final analysis, apart from accumulating precious metals for the tribe through trading, Xiao Yun also had to form an established impression on the elves that "the Snow Wolf tribe values ​​stable production and loves peaceful transactions"... Qualified producers and merchants would not like to fight Shasha, no matter how many people the Snow Wolf Clan gathers for production, they are not the same as the Tiger Clan.

It is worthless to say such words lightly, and it must be shown with practical actions for others to see...that is, the famous life guidance theory: do and say again.

"...You can think of using glass instead of a roof for lighting. No wonder you can get a lot of fresh vegetables in this weather."

In the vegetable greenhouse, Sergeant Selena looked up at the roof made of steel frames and glass panels in amazement for a long time, and said with admiration: "In this way, you don't have to worry about the crops being crushed by heavy snow or freezing. But how do you keep the temperature in the shed?"

Xiao Yun smiled and patted the thick wall: "A mezzanine is left inside the wall, and there is a flue made of bricks around the ground. The hot air from burning black stones can pass through the mezzanine of the wall and the ground to raise the temperature... Our Snow Wolf Clan is a demon-forbidden race, and we have no way to use magic circles to keep the temperature constant, so we have to resort to this stupid method."

Sergeant Selena couldn't help touching the wall, nodded and said, "Although this is the case, this method of heat preservation is not necessarily stupid, at least the consumption is much lower than that of the constant temperature circle."

When Xiao Yun heard this, he raised his opinion of this female warrior again in his heart. You must know that Hai Lin had laughed at this kind of greenhouse for not being decent enough—most people would not buy enough suncloth before exchanging porcelain for it. It's half fruit running to live, the gods are decent!

Sergeant Selena finished praising the vulgar but practical greenhouse, turned her head to look at the vegetables in the shed for a while, and hesitated before speaking: "If my curiosity will touch the secrets of your tribe, I apologize and take back my words... ...Will the temperature raised by burning the black stone be good for the growth of the crops? The crops in your greenhouse seem to be much more lush than the crops under the constant temperature circle in the royal city."

Xiao Yun smiled honestly, and immediately...brought the Snow Elves to the breeding area of ​​the grassroots patriarch.

The grassroots patriarch came out and looked at the elves curiously. After listening to Xiao Yun's introduction, he warmly invited them to take a look inside; It made Selena's three scalps numb, and she dared to step in.

Xiao Yun calmly grabbed a handful of soil from the breeding bed, and showed the fat earthworms in the soil (feed) to the elves: "Half of the soil in the greenhouse is earthworm manure, which is an additional product obtained by raising earthworms. Vermicompost is a good decomposed organic fertilizer, which can promote the growth and development of crops. To obtain a sufficient amount of vermicompost, a large scale of breeding is required. The feed for breeding earthworms is... How many manpower and working hours are required for the feed... ...how many people need to take care of the earthworm bed in a greenhouse...the feed is added every few days...moisturizing, cleaning...shoveling manure...separating the worm cocoons... blah blah blah..."

The whole set of earthworm farming theory knocked the Snow Fairy dizzy, and Xiao Yun excitedly pulled the Snow Fairy to the composting area in the west of the greenhouse area.

"To raise earthworms, you need to use decomposed bait. It needs to be fermented for more than 30 days in summer and more than [-] days in winter. The material must be fully mature, free of peculiar smell, and black in color... In addition to being used for earthworm breeding, it is also used for crop fertilization. Here How is the compost in the plant, how is the compost over there, how much base fertilizer is added during the planting period of the crops, how much topdressing fertilizer is added at which stage of the growth period..."

After finishing talking about fertilizers, I dragged the snow elf with a suspicious face back to the vegetable greenhouse, squatted down and pointed to the crops in the ridge to explain further...

Xiao Yun's voice would be overwhelming if he explained all the details of the cultivation of all the crops in the tribe, so he only focused on explaining the basic fertilizer and top dressing of some of the crops, seed selection, breeding and planting, deep plowing for a long time to cut roots or separate seedlings, growth and development. When it is not good, increase the experience of topdressing or increasing seedlings, etc., weeding and pest control are not expanded...

But just these were enough to break down the three snow elf fighters with determination. When Xiao Yun stopped to take a breath, Selena grabbed his hand and said with tears in her eyes, "I, I already understand, Thank you, Ayun, there is no need to explain in such detail!"

Xiao Yun smiled honestly: "We snow werewolves don't have any decent knowledge, and it's very difficult to survive on the grasslands, so we can only put all our energy into farming, so that we can maintain our lives... adult clansmen One person has to eat three or four servings of human food, so it’s impossible if you don’t work hard!"

Selena let out a sigh of relief: "It can be seen that you really worked very hard."

"There are not many things to do in winter, except for the shed, which is the pigs, sheep and cattle we raise in captivity. Our tribe also has some experience in captivity." Xiao Yun smiled innocently, waved his hand, and strode towards the livestock area... …

The Snow Elves followed in fear...

From piglet castration and separation, sow production and postpartum care, pig pen disinfection to Balk electrolytic disinfection water, from ewe mating stalls, moving pregnant ewes to the greenhouse for fetal production, to alfalfa forage and acorn feeding—— The three snow elves followed Xiao Yun with numb faces and went deep into the delivery rooms of the livestock area. They saw the snow wolf cubs and adult cats who came to take care of the livestock in the windy and snowy days. I don't want to hear it, but it's a new posture that the magic sound can't resist...

Standing in front of the piggy pen and watching Xiao Yun mention a piglet that had just been castrated and explain the details of the castration operation with gestures, Sergeant Serena showed a suspicious expression——who am I, where am I, Why am I standing here listening to someone tell me how to cut a piggy's balls cleanly? !

Ed and Xiu, the two male elves, turned pale and shivered, wishing they could get hurt and lie down with Yarlin and the others.

After visiting the animal husbandry area, the next step is the industrial area of ​​the gray dwarves, the woolen mill that also operates in winter, the cement factory, the embankment by the river, the artificially dug water channel, and the two bridges built with prefabricated cement blocks. ……etc.

These latter visits were much better experience than those in the shed area and animal husbandry area. After going around in a circle, without Xiao Yun saying it himself, Sergeant Selena had doubts about whether their manpower could support so many kinds of work.

"Manpower is really not enough. In fact, the fields opened up by our tribe before today's autumn are only these two fields on both sides of the river. The newly opened wasteland above was dug up in autumn, waiting for the snow to melt before sowing A group of people stood on the stone arch bridge, Xiao Yun pointed to the land on both sides of the river to the north, "Our tribe wants to open up fields from this river and the south bank of the river we dug, and cultivate a lot of food, so that everyone can grow We are not afraid of starvation. If we want to accomplish this goal, we can’t rely on our original manpower alone, so we found the Li tribe and several other tribes, and discussed with them that we can farm together..."

Xiao Yun turned his face, with a simple smile full of hope: "We will open up the fields and open up wasteland to a place close to the river of the earth, then we can move some of the population there and build a water-blocking village on the upper reaches of the river of the earth." so that we don’t have to worry about floods coming to our homes. I heard from elders of other tribes that the southwestern part of the grassland will be washed away by floods every ten or twenty years. Their cattle and sheep, this is terrible. If we can do a good job in water conservancy work to prevent floods in advance, wouldn’t we be afraid of water? After we repaired the dam of this tributary and dug an additional river channel, it will not be flooded However, the dams of the river of the earth may be more difficult to repair, and the river channel may not be easy to dig, but I think it can be done if many people work together."

The upper reaches of the River of the Earth is located in the northwest section. The river channel is between two relatively long mountains. After checking upstream, Xiao Yun had such a thought in his mind.

Ed and Xiu looked at him in shock. Although they knew that this cub was unusual, they were still shocked when they heard Xiao Yun say such bold words.

Sergeant Selena was shocked by Xiao Yunyun's aura that was revealed lightly, and her standing posture, which was a little relaxed before, couldn't help but straighten up.She suddenly understood why this weird snow wolf tribe regarded an immature cub as an important core figure, and the patriarchs safely handed over the heavy responsibility of foreign transactions to him, because now she also quite appreciates this A cub like no other.

"The ancestors of the snow elves have worked hard for more than 300 years to transform the Samar Snow Mountain into a livable homeland. Does the snow werewolf have such determination?" Sergeant Selina said seriously.

Xiao Yun smiled, pretending not to understand the deep meaning of Selina's words, and said calmly: "As long as there is a way to make everyone in the tribe live better, we will always try it. At first we only had More than 30 people worked together, and then it became more than 100 people, and then there were almost 600 people. So many people came together to transform our home. Although we don’t know how long it will take to see the results, but now we at least turn this branch into a Become a 'friend' who won't just destroy our homeland."

Sergeant Selena couldn't help laughing, paused, let go of the laugh, patted Xiao Yun's shoulder hard, and said with a big laugh: "The two big rivers on the grassland have diverted their course the most times in the past thousand years. River, if one day the river of the earth becomes a friend of your snow wolf clan, then you who first proposed this method will definitely become a hero on the grassland."

Xiao Yun followed suit with a smirk, comparing himself to scissorhands in his heart... It is worthwhile for him to chant and fight, and the snow elves are fine~

This performance is not considered a deception. Chinese people have never lacked the courage and determination to move mountains and fill seas since ancient times. Since Xiao Yun, who has a Chinese soul in his bones, stands on this land and becomes a member of the grassland people, then of course he I have the confidence to spread this fighting spirit to other prairie people—there is no such thing as a perfect utopia, the nest I built is my home!
