On January 15, 997, Neil headed north to the ruins of Yeqi City with 50 cavalry, 150 demonless men, and supplies equivalent to a medium-sized barbarian camp.
Neil's team shoulders the important task of exploring the ruins and gathering other barbarian tribes. For this reason, Lant saw him off specially before leaving. Lant not only sent him to the gate of the camp, but also rode on fire to see Neil's team as they arrived in Koh. Ernico Pass.
"Sir, at the speed of fire, we will reach the ruins of Yeqi City in a while," Neil joked with Lant. Yeqi City is more than 100 kilometers north of the mountain pass, and Lant can indeed reach it in one day.
"It's okay. I'll see you off again. You guys have had a harder journey than me." There was obvious frustration and helplessness in Lant's words.
"Is it because of those fish?" Neil guessed.
"Yeah", Rant, who was riding on the fire, nodded and didn't want to mention a word. It is true that Lant sent Neil to relax because the fish farming was not going well. To be more precise, Lant's fish farming was relatively successful, but the magic fish farming could not see the dawn of success so far.
It is said that Lant purchased at least 8 containers of fish fry. These fry were hatched from the eggs of the monster fish and sold together after they grew to a certain size. The ordinary nobles bought these fry to feed larger ornamental monster fish.
And Lant hopes to use the cage concept of his hometown to dig fish ponds in the land to continuously raise the small fry, and finally grow into pools of magic fish, providing the basic source of magic beast meat for the demon supporters in the territory.
His idea is very simple. First, build a closed fish farm. A number of standard-sized fish ponds are dug in the fish farm. The fish in the container are first placed in a low-temperature pool with a cooling function, and then entered into a nursery pond to grow to 5-10 cm. After the small fish, put them in the third adult fish pond.
The function of the low-temperature pool is to slow down the growth rate of the fry, because too many fry were purchased, and Rand was also afraid that investing too many fry at one time would be too risky.
There are ventilation, heating, life, etc. arrays in the nursery pond. These arrays can allow the fry to grow to larvae of more than 5 cm in 7-9 days. The nursery pond is about 12 square meters and will contain 600 to 1,200 fish. Tail fry.
There are already 10 adult fish ponds, each with life, heating, ventilation, etc. arrays. After each pond is completed, young fish of different densities will be put in for experiments. According to the experience of the previous life, these fish can be grown as soon as possible. It can be eaten when it grows to about 1 pound in two or three months.
What Lant hopes is to feed the magic fish fry with magic grains, so that these fish will become level 0 monster fish in about 80 days, which can not only provide meat, but also provide a source of magic.
Lant's initial plan went relatively smoothly, with more than 1,000 fry becoming juveniles first. However, Lant never imagined that these fish were all descendants of Monster fish. When they grew to 10 centimeters, they developed territorial awareness and attacks that only Monster fish can have. sex.
Since the first batch of juvenile fish from the nursery pond entered several adult fish ponds 6 days ago, these characteristics have been reflected. As long as there are more than two juvenile fish in each pond, they will attack each other almost overnight until only one is left. .
In the only control pond, because there is no magic grain feed, the young fish are relatively calm. However, if fed ordinary feed, the probability of the young fish becoming a magic fish is basically 0.
For several days in a row, young fish have been attacking each other. Almost all of Lant's thousands of young fish were killed and only single digits were left, which made Lant very depressed.
Lant wanted to use fish baskets or cages to limit the activities of the young fish, but he had little success. Lant regarded breeding exploration as scientific research in his previous life, constantly looking for key variables that affect young fish, but progress was stagnant, and because after each young fish fight, Lant needed to change the water in the fish pond and check the array again, so It also delayed Wendy's arrangement of taking the earth fairies to the Galloping Horse Baron to smooth the road.
"Sir, let me tell you, these fry are originally used as food for other fish. Why don't you send people to catch some small swordfish, raise them in the pond, and then feed them with young fish. The pond is empty anyway. "Neal had an idea.
Lant felt that Neil's words were not unreasonable. The number of swordfish that had become World of Warcraft was not that many, but there were many that had not broken through, and it was easy to catch them.
The key is that after several failures, he hopes to put his energy and resources into some directions that are more suitable for him.
After walking around, Xinlan returned to the territory, sent Wendy out, and asked her to take the earth fairies to smooth the road from Lot to Galloping Horse Barony. He also gave the canine teeth a task to let them catch swordfish. In this way I feel better.
In fact, since Lant returned to the territory, not only fish were raised, but also long-haired sheep, black-scaled horses, pack animals, grouse, gray goose, mallards, wild boars, guinea pigs and other animals were raised in the camp, or There are more or less problems. Every day, Lant is trying to figure out how to solve these problems using the ideas of his previous life combined with the magic of this world, and carry out large-scale breeding of all species that can be raised.
However, only when I got started with Rand did I realize the old saying: If you have a millionaire, you don’t count those with hooves. All kinds of farmed animals will have various problems in winter, especially insufficient feed and poor animal resistance, which may cause plague.
Even with the presence of Kai Yin, the priest of life, it can only suppress the plague, and all breeding activities can only wait for the arrival of spring.
. . Since the development of the breeding industry has encountered a bottleneck, Lant has focused on swordsmanship and riding skills. In the past few days, he has begun to compete with several intermediate knights in swordsmanship, frequently exchanging blows, and venting his anger at the unfavorable development of the industry.
In a specially compacted open space, swords and swords clashed and grudges clashed. Lant would practice here for several hours every morning.
In the extraordinary markets of Maned Wolf City and Longtai City, Rant bought some fighting spirit potions. Each bottle of these potions can replenish Rand's fighting spirit by 50%. The price ranges from 5 to 7 gold coins. Compared with direct krypton crystals, it is more cost-effective. A lot.
"Did he mistake the vindictive potion for broth? It tastes like free money." Lant's training in the morning would also attract Huck and Ryan to come and watch. His money-burning training made Huck, who was always frugal and house-keeping, look at the meat. pain.
"This is already much better." Rohr on the other side has experienced Lant's krypton crystal training, and naturally feels that it is normal.
"I think he usually trains too little. The occasional surprise training cannot effectively improve his swordsmanship." Lant heard the conversation between the two clearly, and he also knew that training is a daily matter, and it would not be possible if it were not accumulated over time. The effect, but when Lant was eating and chatting with Dugan, he heard the Blue Dragon family's point of view, that is, the training of fighting spirit is far more important than the training of swordsmanship.
In powerful swordsmanship, it is difficult to fight against the level gap. In fact, the level is directly related to the use of fighting spirit. The more powerful the knight, not only the more full the fighting spirit, but also the more skillful the use of fighting spirit.
