Extraordinary Voyage Chapter 728: Equisetum and the fuse
Time passed in a hurry, and it was mid-March in the blink of an eye.
As a typical plateau mountain climate, the Elbert Mountains, with an average elevation of 3,000 meters and full of folds and large and small mountains, are still sluggish even in this season of growth and vegetation is sparse.
However.
Under the cover of its ugly appearance, this mountainous area, together with the "Broken Star Sea Coastal Area", constitutes one of the largest gold distribution belts in the northern part of the mainland. The size of the area is only ascertained by the Hilius. There are more than a dozen gold mines.
Shoo! call out! call out!
With the flowing clouds in the sky, three pretty figures descend from the sky and lightly fall in front of a bunch of yellow-green herbaceous plants in a certain valley that are somewhat incompatible with here.
They have links like bamboo, but they are less than one centimeter in diameter, with a yellow egg-shaped sac on the top, swaying gently in the mountains.
"An Qi, in the current Gaofuling environment of the New World, these modified horsetail grasses grow really fast. The seeds just sown a month and a half ago are already close to a meter tall."
The beautiful girl with long chestnut hair and a pair of amber eyes beckoned gently, and a stalk of grass on the ground broke from the root and fell into her hand.
Crack!
Folding the grass stem into two sections, the three girls all put their heads together and saw the golden layer on the hollow tubular inner wall. Whether he is rich or poor, his eyes can't help but shine.
"Let’s take a look at the actual output?"
An Qi nodded to sisters Clarissa and Leonara. Although she hadn’t been short of money since she became a student of Aiwen, except for eating bran from wild vegetables for a few years as a child, she saw this. This scene is still a little excited.
With a move in my heart, under the control of [Activating Aura], all horsetail grass stems in a square area of 50 meters long and wide flew up and fell in front of them at the same time.
"Let me come!"
The twin sister Leonara volunteered, waved to call out a magic book with dense scales on the cover, and reached out and tapped on the cover.
Teng——
In an instant, a bright yellow flame rose in the air, surrounding a large pile of horsetail grasses, burning fiercely.
As long as you see that the magic book and Angel’s "Silver Ring" are very similar in appearance, you will know that this is a dragon skin magic book, which is obviously given to the twin sisters by Aiwen as a "relative" The meeting ceremony.
It is a waste of two senior level official wizards that they cannot achieve the required Tier 3 combat effectiveness because they do not have krypton gold. These two magic books have also become the most valuable witchcraft props in their hands, and they will take them out to practice them from time to time.
Soon.
In just a few minutes, a large amount of gray-white plant ash fluttered into the mountains with the wind.
After cooling down, a little golden light under the sun slowly fell into Leonara's white and tender palm. It was a...golden bead the size of an adult's thumb!
The three girls passed each other admiring the golden bead that still had the flame's remaining warmth, and couldn't help but cheer for joy:
"About 150 grams, this research project is a success!"
In the first floor of the [Clock Tower], Ivan had seen the organic mechanical biome created by the author of "The Combination of Race and Life and Death: The Pink Book of Life Artists".
The kind of vegetation that is located at the foundation of the magical ecosystem and can directly absorb metal elements from the soil to supply the entire steel jungle ecosystem, gave him a huge inspiration.
That is-"Bioaccumulation Effect"!
In fact, it is not just an extraordinary species, many ordinary plants in nature, in addition to relying on roots to absorb various nutrients from the soil, such as: nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other elements.
Some like to absorb a small amount of copper, and some like to absorb a small amount of zinc... This feature that can absorb trace substances from the external environment into the body and concentrate is called "bioconcentration effect".
The simplest application of "bioconcentration effect" is to help mortals find various minerals more easily. For example, zinc mines can often be found in places where Plantago Seed is flourishing, tantalum mines may be found in areas where alfalfa is dense, iron mines are found in areas where mugwort clusters...
In addition, by using the "bioconcentration effect", a more miraculous technology-biometallurgy can also be realized.
Using the characteristics of plants that can gradually concentrate metals with a small concentration in the soil or the ocean in the body, the metal concentration can be increased dozens of times or even thousands of times, and then extracted from the plant.
Through collecting data, manual sampling and testing plus certain inferences, Ivan found that about ninety-nine percent of the gold on this planet is in the core, and the average content of gold in the crust is almost one hundred millionths. , The content in sea water is about one-hundredths of a billionths.
A long time ago.
Due to hundreds of millions of years or even billions of years of crustal movement and geological changes, small gold elements have been enriched into mineable gold deposits, and finally there is gold that participates in the circulation of commodities in human society.
Generally, the grade of gold in gold mines with industrial mining value is 2-3 g/ton, rich ore is 5-50 g/ton, and extra-rich ore is 50-500 g/ton.
There are a lot of barren mineral veins with no mining value, even in ordinary soil there are traces of gold, just like the valley where the three Angels and the others are located.
150 grams of gold were produced in the 2500 square meters of land, and the harvest is enough to surprise people.
The gold content of natural horsetail grass is as high as 6 parts per 100,000, and the variety after Aiwen's transformation is stronger.
With extremely dense roots, it can grow a root system with a total length of more than 600 kilometers in 10 square meters of land with a depth of 130 meters, sweeping away the fine gold in this area.
And as a perennial herb, as long as the heterogeneous horsetail grass is not harvested, it can continue to grow, and even theoretically can become a golden grass with a purity of more than 20%.
You don't need to invest any manpower, just plant a seed and harvest after a while. It's a cash cow in disguise!
In addition.
Now every piece of "experimental field" is monitored in real time by the [Mind Network] under the control of Bass to ensure that no one else accidentally steals the wealth belonging to the principality.
This is also one of Ivan’s most minded money-making projects outside of the production return plan hosted by Hawkins.
Because the sacrifice value required by [Libra Balanced Sword] is not the value of the property itself to Aiwen, but the value reflected in social exchange and circulation.
For example, for a good-quality man-made gemstone, Ivan uses only one silver bull with the production cost of "Gem Shell". Supplying it to the "Gem School" through the Nymph channel can exchange six golden lions, and the same quality natural The gems are worth at least ten golden lions.
So in the eyes of [Libra Balance Sacred Sword], it is six golden lions.
If 10,000 pieces of similar gemstones are put into the market at a time, although the quality remains unchanged, but the "gemology school" with only 500 or 600 people can not digest it in a short time, then the value will immediately appear because of oversupply Plummet.
Far not as strong as gold and silver, which are "almost" non-renewable hard currencies.
With this vast territory and horsetail grass, even if the [Libra Balance Sword] cannot be turned into a conventional weapon, it won't be as timid as it used to be.
Shoot when it's time to do it.
Visit the field test of three girls through [Mind Network].
Slap——!
Ivan snapped his fingers with a smile.
This project, my king...cough, Galliotte voted for it!
......
On the source continent at this time.
There is still half a month before the deadline for the redemption. Under the hype of the "ultimatum" by the Falitis intelligence personnel, the public opinion in Hilius has long been surging like boiling water.
Even Philip II, who was a totalitarian, didn't care about the so-called public opinion at all, but the turmoil that also gradually appeared in the navy and the army made him no longer able to stand on the sidelines.
Can only suppress the anger of Falettis in his heart, and while urgently allocating part of the ransom to stabilize the Falettis envoy, he began to exert extreme pressure on the Frisia region.
Of course, as an imperial emperor, I still have to face it. It is impossible to say that it is to raise the ransom for the soldiers after the defeat. It is nominally in the unity of faith, instead of the "fire sect" to collect the cost of building churches and idols, and it can barely be regarded as oneself. Surrounded by a fig leaf.
However, compared with the gold masters and the "Churches of Wealth" who are lavishly making money, the so-called Eternal Fire and the "Sect of Fire" are simply the other extreme.
Regardless of the name, the decree issued by Philip II more than half a month ago, after a period of gestation, finally detonated the fuse that the Frisians had accumulated for a long time!
Just today.
Boom--!
In the center of Antwerp, the first "eternal fire" idols were dragged down by horses, and the crowd swarmed them to pieces.
"Trash here! I don't need the eternal fire that will only increase taxes!"
"To overthrow the tyrant, we want freedom, we want rights, and we want normal business activities!"
"Frisia belongs to the Frisian people!"
"..."
Tens of thousands of handicraftsmen, urban civilians, peasants, and some small merchants who are rare in the old territory of Sirius, held up sticks and shouted slogans, destroying all traces of "eternal fire" in their sight .
In the entire Kingdom of Frisia, at least 12 of the 17 provinces have been involved in this torrent. Suddenly, this land even had a wave of wind and rain.
"Damn heresy, dare to rebel against the grace of the true God?!"
High in the sky, in a realm that mortals can't see at all.
An angel with flaming red wings and a stone-carved head towering over a crater-like gap was full of anger, and his mood was exactly the same as the boiling magma in his brain.
This is the "Lava Angel" Suter under the command of "Eternal Fire", and the former owner of [Holy Sword Levotine].
Just like when the church of the goddess of the Kingdom of Ilya was destroyed on a large scale~IndoMTL.com~ the holy angels came personally, the "eternal fire" will certainly not sit idly by after the gods in the world are destroyed.
Just as he wanted to do something, he suddenly turned and looked behind him.
A dark figure stood quietly there.
A face with black wings without facial features and a blank face. On each wing, there are three red eyes blinking at him constantly. The condensed horror, killing, and death surround him, turning into a thick black cloud.
"Lava Angel" has a solemn face, and slowly utters a name:
"'Angel of Killing' Shariye?"
But the murderous angel with a terrifying and curious look didn't respond to his intentions, stepping to one side, bending deeply like a loyal knight welcoming his king.
Behind him, with the sound of gold coins colliding, a bit of brilliant golden light suddenly filled Suter's vision.
"That is...!!!"
