Chapter 203: Valuable knowledge inheritance, the progress of auxiliary professions is gratifying
"That's a lot of rice! With so many of us, we may not be able to eat it all this year, right?"
"Old Li, don't be fooled by the fact that the millet in these rice fields is growing so well. The harvest must be good, but if it weren't for the various other crops, we would also have to start harvesting. The one million acres of rice here is really not enough to feed the hundreds of thousands of people here."
"What are you afraid of? Aren't there millions of cattle and sheep?"
"And we have so many chickens, ducks and geese in our large farms. Are you afraid that there will be nothing to eat? You will die of overeating!"
"Yes, yes! Recently, the navy soldiers have not continued to go out to fight. With nothing to do, they asked the logistics department to let the craftsmen camp weave a large number of large fish nets. They go to the river to fish all day long. Every day, they catch at least hundreds of thousands of kilograms of various fish!"
"Isn't it? My family is now allocated at least a few kilograms of fish almost every day, and there is also meat from livestock and poultry. We can't eat it all, we can't eat it all!"
"My current life is just like a dream. I never thought that I would have no worries about food and clothing in this life."
"Thanks to the commander-in-chief, we have such a good life. Thinking back to the days when we had no food to eat, my heart is filled with tears."
"No matter what, I will make my wife give birth to another big fat boy this year. Anyway, we can afford it now!"...
Today is the official start of this year's agricultural "double harvest" period set by the Logistics Department.
There is already a huge crowd of people around the endless rice fields surrounding Daling Lake.
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians, including the elderly, children, women and children, came to the scene without exception.
Everyone was standing in the fields, the place was crowded and bustling.
This is a great day that concerns everyone's job, and no one is indifferent.
Among the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians of the Fuxing Army here, more than 99% of them have experienced various miserable experiences and have had enough of the hard days of having no food to eat. They are extremely excited about the crop harvest in which the whole nation participates.
They were talking excitedly with their faces flushed, and their words were full of gratitude to the commander-in-chief Li Dingguo.
If Li Dingguo had not taken them in, at least half of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians here would have died of starvation, disease, freezing, etc.
It is impossible for most of them to live to this day and live the good life they have never experienced before.
The agricultural double harvest period set by the Logistics Department should last for seven days.
Within these seven days, not only do we have to seize the time to harvest, dry and store all the millions of acres of rice fields here, but we also need to re-plant the large number of newly cultivated seedlings in the paddy fields that will be plowed later.
It can be said that the task is heavy.
But this is actually not difficult for the 800,000 to 900,000 soldiers and civilians.
It can even be said to be easy!
Because the craftsmen camp of over 10,000 people had already made various farm tools for harvesting and drying rice, and built enough large warehouses and threshing floors.
There is no shortage of manpower, tools, venues, or warehouses.
On average, each person has less than two acres of land and seven days to complete the harvesting and storage of grain, plowing the fields, and transplanting rice seedlings. It is really easy.
These working people of this era not only have extensive experience in farm work, but are also truly hardworking and able to endure hardships.
This small amount of work can be completed in two or three days if the process is not a bit complicated.
What's more, the Logistics Department has set a time limit of seven days.
After the completion of this national agricultural double harvest work, the second round of land reclamation and planting will begin immediately.
The task set by the military this time is to reclaim three million acres of wheat fields for growing wheat.
In this era, white flour buns, dumplings, noodles and other pasta are the staple foods that most people love.
After these three million acres of wheat are harvested, the Fuxing Army will be able to achieve self-sufficiency in food.
Therefore, this year's tasks are still quite heavy.
Moreover, as the busy farming season ends this year, a large number of large farms will be built around each new base in the four directions centered on Linghu Lake.
Different from all other forces, even when it comes to farming, the momentum Li Dingguo has created is very huge.
In particular, he adopted a large-scale farming planting and breeding model. The scene of nearly one million people working together now looks breathtaking and spectacular!
The Fuxing Army now has no shortage of oxen and horses for use, nor of various vehicles for transportation. With the full efforts of the logistics department, a vigorous round of harvesting and planting of crops began in full swing.
There were shouts and neighs of people, mixed with the naughty children, who were running around in excitement, attracting waves of scolding and shouting from the adults.
The laughter that rang out everywhere formed an incomparably beautiful picture in the fields of golden rice...
……
As before, all the soldiers and civilians of the Fuxing Army were engaged in large-scale farming and land reclamation activities, but Li Dingguo did not participate.
It's not just that he disdains to use such superficial work to win people's hearts, but also because he has more important things to do.
"Duh!"
In the backyard of the Fuxing Army headquarters building, in a special workshop, Li Dingguo was refining a very special magic weapon. This special magic weapon was an alchemy furnace.
In the past half month, Xiao Douya had nothing to do and suddenly developed a strong interest in alchemy.
It turned out that this girl possessed the innate attributes of gold and fire. Under Li Dingguo's patient instruction, she easily condensed her innate true fire talisman in her own sea of consciousness.
Xiao Douya often came to watch Li Dingguo making elixirs and refining equipment, and listened to him explain his various experiences and tricks in making elixirs and refining equipment.
She had a great talent in this area and easily learned a lot of basic Five Elements arrays, integrating Professor Li Dingguo's relevant knowledge.
Except for the fact that she did not conduct any actual practice, she basically mastered the knowledge reserve of a junior alchemist, weapon refiner, and formation master.
In order for Xiao Douya to have a magical cauldron to perform the actual operations of alchemy, Li Dingguo searched through all the spiritual ores in the Fuxing Army's inventory and finally gathered together the best spiritual materials to refine a third-level magical cauldron.
Over the past few months, Li Dingguo has thoroughly understood that in today's world, even a top-grade spiritual weapon is only equivalent to a third-grade top-grade magical weapon that he has inherited from the Human Emperor Cauldron.
Including the central magic array on that superior treasure ship, it had only reached the second-level magic array level that he had inherited.
The knowledge of alchemy, weapon refining and formation formations passed down to Li Dingguo by his natal artifact, the Human Emperor Cauldron, far exceeds the relevant knowledge system in the world today.
Those top-grade treasure ships, top-grade treasure ships, spiritual cannons, and spiritual crossbow carts, which were refined using a large amount of top-grade and superior spiritual materials, are only equivalent to some ordinary third-level large magical instruments in the inheritance obtained by Li Dingguo.
The great craftsmen in the world today only engrave some basic five-element magic arrays corresponding to the grade of spiritual weapons on the various levels of spiritual materials that have been smelted and shaped.
This is completely different from the magic weapon of the same level that Li Dingguo refined using his own innate fire and his innate artifact, the Human Emperor Cauldron.
Li Dingguo initially only refined a low-grade magical spear, but its quality surpassed all the low-grade spiritual weapons available today.
There is no doubt that in today's world, much of the knowledge of alchemy, refining, and formations passed down from ancient times has been interrupted or lost.
Compared with the inherited knowledge acquired by Li Dingguo, the great craftsmen in this big world are as far apart as the gap between a toddler and an adult.
There is no way to compare the two.
Li Dingguo even speculated that the treasure ships of various levels that the white barbarians from overseas were using to come to the Ming Dynasty for trade were only slightly more advanced than the treasure ships of the Ming Dynasty.
The various knowledge of alchemy and refining that have been passed down to this day by the great craftsmen of the white Hu people are also just the basics of the ancient mythological era. After countless years of continuous improvement, the current relevant knowledge system has been formed.
Their cultivation system is different from that of the Eastern world, although it is also divided into the body refining realm and the qi refining realm.
In the Western world, the various countries, large and small, established by white barbarians and Arabs practice magic and fighting spirit.
A magician is equivalent to the master craftsman and formation master of the Ming Dynasty and has a high status.
The protective arrays and energy power arrays on their treasure ships and cities belong to the magic array system, which is very different from the Eastern world of the Ming Dynasty where the five elements arrays are the main body.
In a word, the explosive power of fighting spirit is stronger, while the true qi of a warrior is longer and softer, and they each have their own characteristics.
The magic used by Western magicians is almost as powerful as the martial arts techniques and formations used by Eastern warriors, and they both have their own strengths.
Today's weapon refining work is nearing completion. Li Dingguo is concentrating on the Human Emperor Cauldron in front of him, continuously pouring his spiritual thoughts and true energy into it.
About a quarter of an hour later, the ball of liquid in the cauldron, which had been injected with countless magic array runes, was completely refined into a three-legged alchemy furnace with a radius of about ten feet, as the dark yellow light that enveloped it dissipated.
"Duh!"
Li Dingguo exhaled and spoke, and he sent a seal into the Human Emperor Cauldron in front of him. Then, with a thought, the third-level magical instrument cauldron that had just been refined inside the cauldron turned into a stream of light, flew out of the Human Emperor Cauldron, and hovered in the air three feet above the ground in front of Li Dingguo.
"Pfft!"
He took the magic cauldron in one hand, placed it gently on the ground, and sensed it carefully with his spiritual sense.
"Not bad!"
"This is a third-grade magic weapon, which is not inferior to the best spiritual weapon in the world today."
"Even if it is used as a main battle weapon, it is comparable to the pair of top-grade spiritual weapons in Xiao Douya's hands, the Lei Gu Weng Jin Chui."
"This third-level magical alchemy furnace is more effective in increasing a warrior's blood power and true qi than a top-grade spiritual weapon of the same level."
"After this weapon refining experiment, I am confident that I can re-refine that top-grade spiritual weapon, the Ten Thousand Year Cold Iron Bright Silver Spear, and make it my life-long magic weapon."
"This way, you can use it to recognize the master of your life magic weapon. When you are not using it, you can store it in your sea of consciousness to nourish it."
"My natal magic weapon is different from ordinary magic weapons. After obtaining suitable materials in the future, I can continue to refine and upgrade it, and continuously increase its level limit!"
"The relevant knowledge I got from the Human Emperor Cauldron states that every cultivator can only have a maximum of three life instruments in their lifetime."
"I already have the two life artifacts, the Xuanhuang Chaos Bell and the Human Emperor Cauldron. I can only refine one more life artifact. Choosing the re-refined Ten Thousand Year Cold Iron Bright Silver Spear as my life artifact is the best choice at the moment."
After successfully refining a third-grade top-grade magical weapon, the cauldron, today, Li Dingguo was confident that he could refine his own main combat weapon.
The natal magic weapon has many advantages. It can be stored in the sea of god to be nurtured. When not in battle, there is no need to hold it in your hand. It is very convenient to keep and you can go into battle lightly in the future.
