The demon ecosystem represented by the third demon gate on the east line has the greatest impact not on the crystal biome.
The threat still comes from an old friend - the imp.
According to the description of officers and soldiers of the 301st Battalion, in the demon world, there are crystal groups living in the area, and there are little devils... There are very few places without them.
Divided by habitat, on the Devil's side, the local crystal biome's habitat area accounts for about 30%. The biggest contributors here are the crystal crypt poachers and crystal giants, and the rest do not add up to 10%. The proportion of little devil habitat in this area is estimated to be only 15%.
15% is not a very low number. In fact, based on habitat alone, little devils account for less than 20% in most ecological groups.
The problem is that Imps are too diffuse.
If ten thousand crystal crypt poachers were placed in the penal colony, even if the behavior of the indigenous people in the penal colony was not taken into account, they would become one hundred thousand in a seven-year cycle.
And the number of 10,000 little devils will increase to more than 100 million in seven years in an environment without natural enemies!
!
Although it is impossible for the little devil to have no natural enemies, its actual population expansion rate is faster than the theoretical value of all demons except wild dogs. This is the main reason why the little devil has not been able to be eliminated since the North Gate was opened.
Judging from the collected historical data, the reason for the demise of the little devils seems to be only related to the natural magic power concentration. Under the current magic power concentration that is more than ten times that before the disaster, their problems cannot be completely solved.
Of course, regardless of whether the threat comes from the little devil or not, there is only one method the Phoenix Kingdom can use: to provide a large number of support weapons to the local people in the exile.
There are differences in the environment between the East District and the South District.
There are many small countries on the scale of the Phoenix Kingdom in the Eastern District. Many of them are not officially established as a country, but are actually controlled by a single lord.
This is a problem left over from history, and its root is in Fatna. Their focus is on the surrounding areas. Just like their own family was beaten as soon as they made a name for themselves. It is too far away and limited by transportation capacity. It is a bit out of reach, so they can only verbally Or send a few powerful individuals to shock them.
Looking at the bright side, after many years of power evolution after the disaster, most of the floating islands in the Eastern District belong to a single force. At least the control over a single floating island is much stronger than that of the scattered lords in the Southern District. This is a favorable factor for resisting the demons. .
After the third demon gate was opened, without waiting for anyone to urge it, envoys from several surrounding floating islands came to the kingdom and purchased guns through diplomatic channels.
There is no lake here, so each family will be given an initial allocation of 3,000 pieces for use, and those who have no money to pay will be credited with mines.
Low-priced ore is incompatible with air transportation. Most ore cannot even cover the mileage fee for air transportation, and every kilometer transported is lost per kilometer.
However, due to the different currency base of the Phoenix Kingdom, the statistical model is also very different from overseas. The kingdom only calculates the cost based on resource consumption. The so-called mileage fee for magic-based gliding aircraft is just a matter of accounting in public resources as long as it is not outsourced. .
It’s just that the labor costs involved cannot be balanced, and the price has to be paid by market behavior. The distance of 800 kilometers is a bit far, and the mine still requires certain value attributes.
For example, coal cannot be used at all, but coal tar can be used. Iron ore does not have an iron content of more than 70% and is not considered. There are still many ores that need to be initially processed to slightly increase the proportion of active ingredients.
Here again we talk about regional differences.
The lords in the Southern District were all scattered one by one. Facing the torrent of industrialization promoted by the kingdom, they had no resistance and could only let the merchants follow suit, forming some low-end supporting capabilities.
In the Eastern District, the resistance from traditional forces is stronger and the production base is even worse. Not to mention rough refining of ores, it would be good to be able to complete mineral washing and screening.
As a result, fewer types of minerals can be included in the air transport list in the East Region.
The categories of this round of firearms credits are concentrated in coal/wood tar, finished copper and tin products, nickel-containing peridotite, etc. Among them, finished copper and tin products are black goods according to the standards in the Kingdom, and the parts for industrial applications have to be sent to Rainbow Metal for purification. , part of which is released to decoration manufacturers.
Half a month after the guns were shipped, envoys were sent to the floating island where the incident occurred, with coordinates 1 and 7 according to the floating island calibration method.
This time, I want to talk about the dried meat trade.
The sudden surplus of dried meat could be guessed with the soles of my feet where it came from, but the Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not report it and directly rejected it.
Wang Qi did not say anything after receiving the report. He did not mention the arms embargo and did not issue a protest document.
Whether demon meat can be eaten and whether it should be eaten can be said to be a long-standing issue in the penal colony.
Under the name of the demon clan, there are beasts and intelligent species, and there are even some biological groups that are difficult to accurately classify. The commonality is that meat has the risk of genetic mutagenesis. It may be thought that the subtle differences in the basic particles of this universe lead to the stability of everyone's genes. It will be slightly worse.
The place of exile is not the main world. Everyone is already mixed-blood, and it is okay to mutate a little bit more. They will not be hunted down just because they have extra horns or arms, so as long as they are not mentally ill, there is not much burden on eating demons.
Judging from the future food risks brought about by the expected cooling of the temperature, there must be many people in the exile areas who need the meat provided by the demons to survive the Three Realms War.
Even if your own family refuses to enter, the other party can still find a buyer. To condemn it will not help matters.
When it comes to food, Wang Qi also thinks of the peanut seeds that were scattered half a year ago, and asks for information on the relevant entrusting companies.
The first focus is on wild adaptability. One of the three varieties that were released at that time became very scarce and is expected to die out naturally in a few years.
The remaining two are okay.
One of them has increased from the 86-day cycle of the rooftop experiment to about 100 days. There are certain differences in different environments based on the height and viability of local weeds.
The remaining one is similar, the cycle from growth to flower growth is 95 days, and the average number recorded in the wild second generation is 97 days.
The cycle is not considered short, it can be considered as a wild experiment.
The second point is the local people’s awareness of the edible peanuts.
The situation in this area is poor. When you see the hired company tossing around in the weeds, some people will secretly follow and dig out a few plants. It seems that there is no automatic publicity.
Find someone to take the initiative?
Still not very good. As an experimental site, the peanuts released at that time had a total initial weight of only a few hundred kilograms after excluding the failed parts. After two rounds of natural breeding, the remaining peanuts in the field should be less than 200 tons, which corresponds to In the suburbs of a single city, it may only weigh more than thirty tons. The quantity is not enough. Once publicity starts, no matter how strong their wild abilities are, they can only barely maintain their existing scale.
The next stage will still focus on replanting.
Based on replanting 1 ton per day, one cycle every 100 days, and 30 times the seed yield, after deducting the losses caused by animals and people, we should be able to ensure that there are 60,000 to 80,000 tons in the field.
As long as this amount is not dug out at once, it will not be a big problem to feed 200,000 people as staple food for a long time. It can actually solve the food price conflict for a population of one million and promote an increase in the basic price of overseas labor.
The specific effect cannot be determined by calculation. It must be tried on the spot.
This time, using the outpost tree as a carrier, we can directly produce plantable peanuts based on the final data. The yield is more guaranteed than that of the herbal experimental body.
The production capacity is temporarily set at two tons per day, and a few more floating islands can be planted. A single city can hire a few locals to sow seeds.
