Chapter 869: Dead and Vital
The lord attaches great importance to the Underworld Farm, and Nimbas is well aware of this.
After he showed Qi Ge around the experimental field, he said to Qi Ge who came to check the progress of the construction:
"The high-quality varieties of high-yield plants such as golden pumpkin, frosted cabbage, horsetail lettuce , and sandwich lettuce are all ready.
My army of [Golden Pumpkin Skeletons] has also been transformed and is just waiting for the construction of the Underworld Farm to be completed.
The first wave of planting experiments. We still plan to plant the [Golden Pumpkin] which has excellent [Growth Speed], [Survival Difficulty] and [Yield].
You only need to take half of this first batch of [Golden Pumpkins] out, and that will be enough to convince other forces. The remaining half can be left for me to continue transforming the [Golden Pumpkin Skeleton]. "
[Golden Pumpkin Skeleton] is the advanced version of [Pumpkin Skeleton Farmer].
They were all golden in color, and the skulls on their heads had completely replaced the skulls, becoming one with their bodies.
The planting efficiency of [Golden Pumpkin Skeleton] is more than twice that of [Pumpkin Skeleton Farmer], and the crops that can be planted are no longer limited to pumpkins, everything can be planted.
With just a little training, the [Golden Pumpkin Skeleton] can play the role equivalent to a [Level 1, Stage 1 Peasant].
For the Undead, [Golden Pumpkin Skeleton] is an unprecedented breakthrough.
But to the farmer soldiers of other races who are good at planting, the [Golden Pumpkin Skeleton] is just a confused novice.
Of course, it’s not Nimbas’ fault that there are no more [Farmer-type Undead].
He had few opportunities to concentrate on studying the [Farmer-type Undead Army] in the God's Chosen City.
Every time he conducted research, he would be delayed by urgent tasks that Qi Ge suddenly assigned to him.
"That's all we can do."
Qi Ge nodded helplessly and then asked:
"Nimbas, what about the river channel? How is the excavation of the river channel going?"
“My Lord, the cages of thirty million cavemen and undead are being dug day and night.
We adopted a method of starting work on multiple lines simultaneously, dividing the city's rivers into more than six million line segments and excavating them simultaneously, so as to maximize the efficiency of manpower utilization and shorten the construction period.
If the intelligence from Avili is correct, the Avili River will be fully accessible in the evening of three days later."
"Three days later..."
Qi Ge nodded deeply and said, "Nimbas, don't blame me for asking so many questions.
It's not that I don't trust you , it's just that the Underworld Farm is a major plan for the entire Yasa world and must be carefully considered.
The first phase of the test field is particularly important and nothing must go wrong.
Nimbas, you are in charge.
If you encounter any problems during the construction of the Netherworld Farm, you must inform me immediately and never hide anything."
Hearing the hidden meaning of Qi Ge's words, the soul fire in Nimbas' eyes flickered. He said in a deep voice:
“My Lord, don’t worry.
Although building the [Underworld Farm] is a huge project, most of the work is simple repetitive labor and does not require help from other intelligent undead. I can control billions of undead and coordinate the overall situation by myself.
Naturally, there won’t be any dirty things like corruption.”
Qi Ge tapped his thigh with his fingers. He knew in his heart that only with the blueprints would [Underworld Farm] be truly on the right track.
Otherwise, a slight geological change such as an earthquake would destroy the [Pseudo Underworld Farm] that everyone had worked so hard to build.
Qi Ge sighed helplessly:
“In the final analysis, it’s because I haven’t figured out the architectural drawings for the Netherworld Farm. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be so troublesome for you to build it.
If you hold on a little longer, Mr. Agaid's helpers will be here soon.
After several months, our team of architects gathers together again. This time there is no Holy Dragon copy. Who can stop us?
We will definitely find the blueprint for the [Underworld Farm]!"
When Qi Ge said this, Nimbas suddenly looked moved and smiled:
"My Lord, the heavenly group you mentioned has arrived."
Nimbas pointed behind Seven Pigeons, and Seven Pigeons turned around to look.
The thick dark sky was torn apart by the sunlight, and a gorgeous armed airship broke through the clouds and was slowly descending.
The ignorant entangled around the armed airship, flying up and down, desperately looking for loopholes and trying to get in.
However, the magic shield of the armed airship was too tight, so they could only watch and sigh in despair.
Soon, under the guidance of Nimbas, the armed airship landed in front of the Seven Pigeons.
A long metal staircase descended from the armed airship. Aged was the first to come down, followed by architects!
The [Legendary Architect] Golden Elf [Vianney] who participated in the construction of the mythical building [Golden Dragon Cliff Top].
The necromancer Nagus, a legendary architect, was the one who built the mythical building Ghost Tomb in the capital of Diya, which could recruit Blood Dragons.
Magic element [Monell], [Architect], [Magic Officer], dual-class [Legend], and a capable general of [Elemental City].
The ogre [Sereg] is a legendary architect of the stronghold force. He is particularly good at the construction of logistical buildings. He is the junior brother of Agaide, the uncle of Qige, and the youngest disciple of the great master Credel.
The four of them are all legendary architects who entered the Holy Dragon Echo with Qi Ge and Aged last time, members of the Architecture Team, and Qi Ge’s strongholds.
The four of them, plus Qi Ge and Aged, all the legendary architects in the entire Yasha world were present.
Recently, Vianne has confirmed that her teacher has fallen into historical echoes.
Thus, in the vast world of Yasha, there were only six legendary architects left, divided into nine major forces, not one more, not one less.
A tower, a stronghold, an elemental city, a fortress, a cemetery, and a neutral place.
The Fortress, Castle and Hell do not have their own legendary architects.
Of course, the six of Qi Ge have long transcended the constraints of power. Although they still have power identities on the surface, their respective forces have no binding force on them.
"Xingfeng! Or is it more appropriate to call you Qige?"
Wei Anni smiled and played with her long golden hair, saying with some envy:
“The last time we met, you were still a very immature kid, but now you’ve reached Legendary level and even conquered Echo of the Holy Dragon!
I knew that short-lived species had great potential, but I didn't expect your potential to be this great.
Aged was right, he really did accept a monster as his apprentice."
The undead flame in Nagus's eyes flickered, and he said seriously:
The Echo of the Holy Dragon has been a hurdle that all architects cannot overcome since the day the profession of architect was born.
You conquered Echo of the Holy Dragon, and we architects all owe you a favor.
Monell's cloak shook twice, and his magnetic voice came out from inside:
“Last time, all of us tried to enter the Holy Dragon Echo together but failed, but you succeeded by yourself.
Qige, you are amazing, really amazing."
[Serig] smiled innocently:
"We've already heard from Senior Brother on the way about the specific situation. He wants to help you research the [Underworld Farm], right?
[Underworld Farm Project] is a great thing that will benefit the entire Yasa world.
We will definitely do our best to help you.”
"Thank you all for your help, elders!"
Qi Ge bowed sincerely to everyone, then turned to Agaide and said softly:
"Teacher! Where is the Grandmaster?"
"Here it is."
Aged smiled and nodded to Qi Ge, then took out a Rubik's Cube with a very strange appearance from his arms.
He held the Rubik's Cube in both hands and shouted respectfully:
"Please teacher show up."
Buzz~
The Rubik's Cube slowly started up, and the shadow of Kredel appeared next to Aged.
Everyone, including the seven pigeons, bowed respectfully to Credel.
There is no god of architecture in the Yasa world yet.
As a demigod-level architect who has reached the pinnacle of his craft, Credel has long stood at the pinnacle of architects, and this is the respect he deserves.
Kredel is the killer weapon that Qi Ge is confident that he can produce the blueprint of [Underworld Farm].
"Everyone, please get up. There's no need to be so polite."
Credel first smiled and nodded to Qi Ge, then looked around and carefully checked the surrounding situation.
"Very good. Since everyone is already here, let's start the discussion directly. Qi Ge, please introduce your conception of the [Underworld Farm] and the current specific situation of the [Underworld Farm] to everyone."
"Yes, Grandmaster."
Qi Ge raised his head, sorted out his thoughts, and started from the beginning:
“The black soil, air, and water of the cemetery all contain a large amount of dead energy.
The undead do not need to consume food, they can survive as long as they have enough undead death energy.
The death energy of the undead is the exclusive food of the undead.
For living beings in a narrow sense, the undead are the dead.
But for the creatures of order in a broad sense, the undead are undoubtedly the living.
So I guessed that there should be a kind of energy in the dead air of the undead that can provide energy for the orderly creatures. I call it [source energy].
However, due to some impurities, ordered creatures other than the Undead are unable to absorb this energy.
The Underworld Farm is essentially a means of filtering out the dead energy of the undead.
The function of the white stone is to filter the dead air of the undead in the underworld, the function of the iron man is to filter the dead air of the undead in the air, and the function of the barrier [magic spring] water is to filter the dead air of the undead in the water source.
By triple filtering, we can eliminate the things harmful to life in the undead death energy, ensure that the undead death energy in the soil, air and water sources is clean, and then we can clean out clean [source energy].
Food plants have an extremely high absorption and utilization rate of [source energy].
Because of this, netherworld farms can increase food production on a massive scale.”
As Qi Ge spoke, some divine light spots appeared around him.
These divine light spots circled around the seven doves, projecting a picture.
The dark deathly aura of the undead permeated the space, omnipresent in the sky and on the ground.
The white stone turned into soil, the iron man turned into walls, the magic spring neutralized the water source, and they absorbed the death energy of the undead, transformed it into a green light spot, and spit it into the underworld farm.
The plants in the Underworld Farm absorbed these light spots and began to thrive.
The Seven Doves use the rapidly rising and falling sun to represent the fast-forwarding of time.
In the emerald green cabbage field, the tender green leaves of the cabbages rise high, competing to absorb nutrients from the air.
It's amazing how fast they grow.
Green spots of light sank into their roots, and new leaves emerged every day, gradually unfolding. In just a week, lush cabbage bushes were formed.
In the potato field, potato seedlings emerge from the ground, grow rapidly, and have lush stems and leaves.
Their roots are hidden in the soil, constantly absorbing green nutrients from the soil.
As time went by, the potato plants grew larger and formed dense potato vines.
Not far from the potato field is a rice field. The rice seedlings grow in the clear water, each one tall and straight. Their leaves are broad and green, swaying gently in the breeze.
Rice ears gradually take shape, and their golden color sparkles in the sun, giving people a sense of joy of a good harvest.
Finally, there is a pumpkin patch, with pumpkin vines clinging to the supports and spreading out.
Their leaves are large and thick, covering the entire ground. All the green nutrients in the air, water and soil are absorbed by pumpkins.
In just three days, the pumpkins gradually matured and turned into huge fruits.
Except for Aged, the other four legendary architects saw the Underworld Farm for the first time.
As they watched the scenes demonstrated by Qi Ge, they couldn't help but immerse themselves in it, mesmerized.
This beauty of order deeply fascinated them.
“That’s probably the principle.”
Qi Ge collected the images he showed, and the four legends suddenly woke up from their dreams.
"Neutralize the negative energy in the dead air of the undead to filter out the [source energy] that can accelerate the growth of plants..."
Kredel's eyes were burning as he spoke and thought for a long time. He suddenly denied it:
"Qi Ge, based on my understanding of Yasa's energy, your idea must be wrong.
I think the role of the Underworld Farm is not neutralization, but transformation.
If I'm not mistaken, the growth acceleration effect of planting [non-food plants] in the Underworld Farm should not be very good."
When Qi Ge heard this, he was shocked:
"Yes, Grandpa, you are right.
All plants that cannot serve and produce food will not benefit from the Underworld Farm.
There is no way to accelerate the growth of ordinary trees in the Underworld Farm.
If it is a fruit tree, the growth rate of the fruit tree itself will not change much, but the speed at which the fruit tree bears fruit will be much faster.
It seems that territorial farms only benefit from increased food output.
Maintenance, Netherworld Farm is not interested in [non-food plants]. "
"That's right." Kreider said firmly:
The death energy of the undead itself can serve as food for the undead and provide them with energy.
In a sense, the undead death energy itself possesses the attribute of [food].
However, the death energy of the undead cannot be used directly by living beings, and will also be harmful to them. The lifespan of living beings living in the land of the undead for a long time will be greatly reduced.
The function of the Underworld Farm is to reverse the effect of the dead energy of the undead.
The [undead death energy] that could originally only be absorbed by the undead becomes [vital energy] that the undead cannot absorb but can be utilized by living beings.
I guess that [anger] can probably be used directly as food to provide energy to living beings.
However, since most creatures do not have energy-absorbing devices similar to the [Wisp of the Undead], they must collect this energy and convert it into concrete [food] through [plants that can produce food].
The effect of the Underworld Farm in increasing the growth rate of food plants is not [induction] but [transformation].
[Angel] itself is [food], and has the same origin as [food plants], so in terms of rules they are the same thing.
Therefore, [Anger] was directly added to the body of [Food Plants], becoming a part of [Food Plants], making the [Food Plants] take shape more quickly.
