Creating a Different World - Chapter 2326
[Chapter 2326: The Woman Riding a Camel]
Jia Zhengjin set himself a goal, that is, except for the most basic axe, draft, and shovel, no other resources can be used, and all materials must be collected locally.
At the same time, magic cannot be used when hunting, that would be boring!
In fact, without magic, with his current physical fitness, he can easily catch the bird before it reacts.
Sure enough, he found an unknown bird jumping in the dead grass at the edge of the desert looking for lizards or insects. Jia Zhengjin rushed to the front in just two seconds and slapped it to death.
[System] You get 1 bird meat!
[System] You get 8 feathers!
[System] You get 1 bird egg!
[System] You get corn seeds!
After collecting, what I got was corn seeds, what the hell?
A little disappointed, I quickly looked for traces of other birds around, and soon found another one, and rushed over to hunt it.
[System] You get 1 bird meat!
[System] You get 12 feathers!
[System] Get poplar seeds!
As expected, the probability of tree species dropping is very high. Jia Zhengjin happily inspected the surroundings and hunted again.
A total of 8 birds were hunted, contributing corn seeds, peanut seeds, willow seeds, poplar seeds and a coconut tree species.
Hurry back to the vicinity of the house and plant the willow seeds, poplar seeds and coconut trees slightly apart.
The seeds immediately turned into saplings. System tree species can grow into big trees in just two or three days. If there is water irrigation or fertilization, the speed will be faster.
Corn and peanuts need to be planted in farmland, unlike tree species that can be planted casually. Keep them first. When these trees grow up, cut them down to get wood to make a hoe and reclaim farmland.
In the next few days, Jia Zhengjin worked hard to transform the terrain, and the results were good. He had successfully transformed the land within a dozen meters around the house from sand to soil.
The three trees have grown up. After cutting them down, a large amount of wood and seeds were obtained. A forest area was divided next to them for planting, which is much better than the bare terrain before.
In addition to the tree species obtained from hunting every day, it is guaranteed that there will be a steady supply of wood in the future, and the green belt will become larger and larger.
As for farmland, since there is no water source, it cannot be reclaimed rashly. Crops without water will not grow well, so groundwater must be found first.
Jia Zhengjin is very serious about mining, but so far he has only found rock layers and has not found any ore, so he needs to continue searching.
Anyway, he first built a stone matchbox room, which is larger than the previous mud house.
The workbench and furnace were placed in the mud house to transform it into a workshop.
Then he made a wooden bed and a wooden table on the workbench and placed them in the stone house as a new resting place.
The next step is to mine day and night, change the terrain, and look for groundwater resources.
Around the seventh day, the underground mine had been dug to a considerable depth, and he finally found groundwater, as well as some scattered metal mines.
Now there is water, wood, and abundant underground resources, so the work is even simpler.
Smelt iron ore in the furnace, get iron ingots, and then synthesize iron buckets on the workbench, scoop a bucket of groundwater up, and dig a pool next to the house to pour it in.
The water enters the pool and immediately begins to flow to the side. When there is only one grid, it will not move or disappear. But when there are many empty blocks, because the water blocks will flow, they will spread to the side.
Scooping up the water in the adjacent grid does not affect the existence of the first grid water block. Pour it in again and it will become the second water block, and it will spread faster.
This is the infinite water bug. As long as you have patience, a bucket of water can become an ocean. It is
much more convenient to have water. Jia Zhengjin directly made a hoe, reclaimed farmland beside the pool, and then planted the crop seeds obtained from hunting these days, and watered them all.
By the way, water the forest as well to accelerate the growth of the seedlings.
The next step is to wait for them to mature, and get more seeds and other resources after harvesting, and expand the scope little by little.
Few people come to this side of the desert. After so many days, no one has appeared except the camel-riding woman he met on the first day.
This is good news for Jia Zhengjin, at least he will not be disturbed.
He still digs sand and buries mud every day to transform the terrain. Cutting down trees, harvesting crops, and expanding forests and farmland, such boring work, makes him feel particularly fulfilled.
Nuwa came to check on the situation almost every day. When Jia Zhengjin was working, she would accompany him and talk about what she saw and heard every day, and then she would leave quietly.
This continued until the twentieth day. The desert terrain had been penetrated for thousands of meters, and trees were planted in the border areas, making it lush and green.
The pool became larger and the farmland became wider.
Of course, the underground mine was also dug deeper and wider underneath.
The entrance to the mine had been built by Jia Zhengjin into a warehouse-like room. If you didn’t go in, you really wouldn’t be able to find the passage leading underground.
Digging sand and burying mud, continuing to be busy under the scorching sun.
“Ding-clang, ding-clang~” The crisp bell sounded again in my ears. The woman who appeared on the first day appeared again on a camel, this time walking towards the desert.
When she saw that the originally empty junction had three houses (mud studio, stone lounge and mine basement), pools, farmland and groves, and even some coconut trees that could not be planted in such an environment, as well as Jia Zhengjin who was still digging with a shovel, she was amazed.
Passing by here 20 days ago, she thought that the man who said he wanted to turn the desert into an oasis was mentally ill. As a result, when she came back 20 days later, there was actually green on the desolate land, and it was tree species and crops that could not appear in such a place.
This is not something that ordinary people can do!
The woman rode a camel to the woods curiously, stood under the shade of the tree and looked at Jia Zhengjin.
Jia Zhengjin turned around and looked at her.
“God?” The woman asked curiously.
Jia Zhengjin looked at her face and found that her complexion was completely different from the first day he saw her. It was as if she was shrouded in a thick black aura. There were also some divination techniques in the Thirty-Six Methods of Tiangang: “My lady, I see that you have a black aura on your face. I’m afraid the road ahead is dangerous! I advise you to turn back and don’t go forward!”
The woman smiled slightly: “I am ordered by my master to hunt the sand ghost. Of course it is dangerous! May I know your name?”
“What if I know it, and what if I don’t know it?” Jia Zhengjin lowered his head and continued to dig a hole, “Girl, you should go back!”
“It is difficult to disobey the master’s order!” The woman said, “Although the sand ghost is difficult to deal with, I am well prepared and will be able to take it down! Why don’t I ask you for advice when I return!”
After that, she rode her camel and continued on the road, slowly disappearing from Jia Zhengjin’s sight.
Watching the woman’s back disappear on the desert horizon, Jia Zhengjin shook his head and continued to work.
