Chapter 123 Frost Giant Pasture Plan
Building a new settlement on the frozen plains is not an easy task.
In other words, under Ivan's design, the job that was originally done by setting up a few tents became very complicated.
The permafrost plain is not a biological forbidden zone. A special plant grows on this snowy plain that is frozen all year round, a tundra plant called blue frost moss.
It is these plants that feed the angora rabbits on the frozen plains, which are the main food for the northern winter wolves.
There are also some northern creatures that like to lick moss and are frequent visitors around these blue mosses.
Alvin's plan is to use magic to build an extra-large circular area on the north side of East Zone 1 of the Haze Forest.
Most settlements will be built on frozen plains, where tundra plants and crops that can grow on frozen soil will be grown as food for livestock and frost giants.
A small half of the area will be within the Gray Haze Forest. This part will be a communication area for druids and frost giants, as well as an isolation zone to prevent species invasion.
Taking into account the possible population growth of the frost giants, the settlement would have to produce at least five million pounds of food each year.
Based on this level of demand, Senna suggested transplanting a plant that also loves cold weather as the staple food for the frost giants.
"Lettuce? Did I hear you right? High-yield lettuce?"
"It's northern lettuce! Northern lettuce!
If the seeds of this plant could be modified to adapt to frozen soil environments, the yield of these crops would not be lower than the annual yield of yams!
If we can use our soilless planting technology, the yield per acre can even exceed 50,000 pounds!"
Ivan was stunned by what Senna said. Lettuce is considered a high-yield crop... I have never heard of it before...
However, Alvin was very clear about the abilities of this farming girl.
Now that we have taken care of the staple food, the next step is to graze the animals.
It is not difficult to feed a group of rabbits relying solely on blue moss, a low-yielding native plant.
If one wants to feed the Frost Giants, or even achieve Evan's idea that the production of the pastures will feed back the needs of the Druid settlements, it is basically unrealistic to rely on the meat output of rabbits.
But if the lettuce yield is really that high, then some of the scraps that the frost giants don't eat could be used as livestock feed.
With human intervention, this area can become self-sufficient.
Thinking of this, Alvin went straight to Hejia and Soi who were strolling around the base.
"The meat that the frost giants like to eat?
Does Bai Long count?"
"Well...if you want to raise them on a large scale, it's best to use some large herbivorous animals."
It seems like you guys really treat Bai Long as your food reserve, right?
After silently complaining a few words in his heart, Soi on the opposite side gave his own answer.
"I remember there were a lot of northern yaks on the tundra plains. They tasted pretty good."
"Northern Yak? That's a good choice."
……
The gray haze forest has now left the coldest time of the year.
Although the snow has not started to melt yet, there has been basically no snowfall.
The members of the Druid Station began to get busy again.
Under the arrangement of Xiling and Philohil, who were getting better and better, Senna brought the newly joined orcs and elves to sow the second batch of seeds in the ecological field.
This batch of seeds was not improved by Alvin's magic, but was bred using previously harvested crops.
It is worth mentioning that during this process, more than a dozen elves and orcs sensed the power of nature and became new druids.
The growth of these newcomers made the veteran druids extremely jealous.
The promotion speed of these little guys is much faster than they were back then——
After all, the natural cycles displayed in ecological fields are much easier to observe than in wild environments.
So whenever the veteran druids have time, they run to the ecological field to watch.
This made Rillifen, who used to like staying by the fields, feel that it was too lively, so the old skeleton had to change his permanent location to the top of the city wall.
"It is really unexpected that an orc god can awaken the duties of a druid."
The old skeleton whispered to the orc girl Luna next to him.
"Your Highness Rillifan, this is the idea given by that perverted human, Ivan.
It allows me to experience the ecological cycle and nature through agriculture.”
"Oh? I didn't expect little Nolihuys could influence the mind of a god."
A big head appeared above the two of them.
This twenty-foot-high wall could only barely reach Alduin's chest.
“Old fellow, the last time we met was when I had just come down from the astral realm;
I didn't expect that in nearly ten thousand years, you haven't changed at all, and you still dress so flashily."
The old skeleton, who was always harsh with his words, looked at the frost giant whose lifespan far exceeded that of ordinary people and spoke very rudely.
“And is this… the King of Ice Elemental?
Did you bring him down with you?"
[Good day... former lord of the forest... may your mighty power shine upon the earth once again...]
"Hey, Onseth, I don't want to do that thankless job again."
Looking at these old monsters who were extremely difficult to deal with, Morgan, the genuine god hiding in Luna's consciousness, tried his best to reduce his presence.
If Rillifane gave her the feeling that he was completely unfathomable, then this frost giant named Alduin was like a tall mountain that could easily press her down and rub her against the ground.
As for the consciousness hiding in his armor, although he could not feel any power, but from listening to their conversation, it was definitely not someone that was easy to deal with.
[Hmm... there is another god here... whose power is much weaker than Auril...]
“Ahaha, this is Morgan, the orc god.
A clever little fellow.”
The old skeleton introduced his new friends to these two old acquaintances with whom he had no idea what connection he had before.
"Good day, my ancient predecessors. I am the goddess of agriculture of the orcs..."
"Oh wow? A new god from the Fourth Age?
Don't be afraid, little one, we are not bad people."
"Alduin, your words are not convincing at all..."
【Seconded……】
Morgan's nervousness eased a lot as he watched the three old guys sabotaging each other.
She had finally found an opportunity to expand her job responsibilities, but she didn't want to be targeted by this mysterious boss right from the start.
"Don't worry about us old guys. Tell us the story of that little guy, Nolihues."
"Nolly Hughes? Ah, that pervert, Ivan, right?
I don't know much.
Where should I start... well... let's start with the time he kissed the statue of my friend..."
Several mysterious big men pricked up their ears, listening to some perverted gossip story with great interest.
