Chapter 578 The Lottery Is over, the Strategic Significance of Sweet Potatoes 【Subscribe】【5K】

The weight of the super magic energy core is not large, because of the energy utilization, it has a large load, and it is indeed a good power source!

But if you compare the magic core with the internal combustion engine in the earth, it can only be said that both have their own characteristics.

Zong Shen stared blankly at the movement of the Earthshaker's chariot, and suddenly lost his mind.

As long as men are very interested in this armored vehicle.

This kind of situation is like in the earth, whether it is a one or two-year-old baby or a fifty or sixty-year-old uncle, as long as he sees the excavator construction, he will not be able to move his legs, and he has to look twice.

The love for machinery is rooted in the blood of every man.

More or less, thicker or lighter, there will always be some influence.

Zong Shen retracted his gaze, because Buckron Ironhand seemed to have good driving skills, and the Earthshaker chariot was very stable under his control.

Being able to get started so quickly shows that in addition to being a senior engineer, this guy is also an excellent goblin driver.

Mariel had rushed back from the living area, and Zong Shen returned his attention to [points exchange].

Looking at it like this, I am afraid it will be difficult for him to spend the remaining points in this round of [Points Exchange].

But it doesn't matter, anyway, by noon the day after tomorrow, this round of challenges should be completely over, and there will be an opportunity to exchange at that time.

There should be some changes in the options available for redemption at that time.

As for the [Points Draw], these ten consecutive draws have actually made Zong Shen feel satisfied.

Before that, he spent at most 20,000 to 30,000 points in the [Points Draw].

This time he came directly to a lottery for the whole family bucket.

He was so arrogant that he didn't even bother to look at the items he had drawn. The change in mentality alone could explain everything.

Zong Shen once again selected ten consecutive draws for the 1000-point draw.

After deducting 9,000 points, the exclusive lottery roulette began to spin slowly.

after a few seconds. The roulette stopped, representing the completion of the 1,000-point draw.

As the roulette stopped, the roulette in front of him still turned into a subtitle and appeared in front of him.

To be honest, the way the subtitles show the results is not as shocking as the actual presentation.

But the advantage lies in the convenience and simplicity. For Zong Shen, who is like a woolly gambling dog, it is simply better. After all, he only cares about the result, not the drawing process.

Extracting results quickly can improve the speed of extraction, while the consumption of fuzzy integral.

It's over before you know it.

【Successful extraction】

【Improvement Technology of Armored City Wall (Orange) × 1】

【Medium Dhow (Purple) × 1】

[IV generation magic cannon (purple) × 1]

【Intermediate Skill Experience Book (Blue) × 1】

【Ordinary experience beads (white.) × 1】

【Bitter gray beans (gray.) × 1】

【Craft rye beer (green) × 1】

【Taunting stake (purple)×1】

【Seed of Paralyzing Vine (Blue) × 1】

【Rotten brown bread (gray) × 1】

The above are all the rewards drawn from the 1000-point point gear.

In the first few rounds of challenges, Zong Shen's lottery draw was a single draw, so the difference in the reward quality of each point tier did not seem to be obvious.

But when he drew ten consecutive draws for each point rank, the contrast in the quality of the rewards became obvious.

The quality of rewards that can be drawn from the high-points gear is indeed much higher than that of the low-points gear.

But on the whole, the prizes drawn from the 1,000-point tier this time are still worthwhile for Zong Shen.

Especially since he also drew an orange reward item.

Including several purple-level bonus items.

Of course, in the point lottery of this grade, the number of gray, white, green, blue and other reward items has also increased a lot.

Correspondingly, Zong Shen paid a lot less points.

All in all, this round is still not a loss for him.

It was also at this time that Zong Shen discovered another thing.

That is the lottery for points redemption, which is generally very cost-effective.

But the price is high.

This cost-effective may not necessarily apply to other lords.

This is especially the case when it comes to lords with a base of billions.

Most lords may not be willing to spend even 500 points on the lottery.

For them, at this stage, they will mainly choose to exchange some resources, materials, props, defense towers, potions, food and the like.

These things are more in line with the development needs of most lords.

The concept of "points", placed in online games on earth, is equivalent to "valuable tokens" obtained from activities. For ordinary lords, every point is very precious.

They simply don't have any extra points to spend in the [Points Draw] to give it a try.

As for those lords who can afford the lottery, most of them are those who have relatively rich points in their hands. Of course, it is not ruled out that there are a small number of dog lords who do not have many points, but they also try to gamble. a handful.

In the case of only gamble, no one can guarantee what he will get.

Something with a gambling nature like a lottery actually has a fault tolerance rate.

If you have a large balance of points, you don't have to put your money on it to gamble.

You can even play a wave of ten consecutive draws in luxury.

The properties represented by these two situations are completely different.

Zong Shen's "blood earning" is based on his spending a lot of points and drawing many times in a row.

The reasoning is the same as talking about toxicity without dose and talking about power without equivalence.

Putting aside the number of draws and the total amount of consumption points to talk about the harvest, in fact, it's all a hooligan.

Zong Shen was thinking about it in his heart, and at the same time, the result of the 1000-point point draw was closed.

There are still ten consecutive draws for the lowest tier of 500 points left.

After the discount, the ten consecutive draws only need 4500 points.

The price of points can no longer make any waves in Zong Shen's heart.

I still remember that when someone else played the 500-point lottery, it required repeated consideration and calculation.

It's really different today, thirty days in the east of the river and thirty days in the west, don't deceive the poor!

After the ten consecutive draws of 500 points, Zong Shen will reconsider the use of the remaining points.

He first opened the storage compartment and took a look.

It is confirmed that the rewards he has drawn these times are all lying in the empty space of the storage compartment. Fortunately, he often upgrades [Item Management], so that his storage compartment reaches more than 100. Otherwise, it is really loaded. Not so many belongings.

The explosion of resources and props is probably one of the troubles of the boss, it is simply painful and happy.

After confirming that the reward items were safe, Zong Shen chose to reopen the [Points Draw] option, and directly selected the 500-points stall for ten consecutive draws!

The original trumpet roulette appeared, still in the state of ten hands, and the roulette started to spin.

Zong Shen yawned lazily.

The expensive stalls have been smoked, and now there is no sense of expectation.

In addition, the price paid is small, and I don't care so much in my heart.

Anyway, it's just 4,500 points!

The roulette wheel stopped quickly, the ten pointers flickered slightly, and the entire roulette wheel was decomposed into light particles, which were quickly reorganized into subtitles of the drawn items.

【Successful extraction】

【Second-Order Wolf Cavalry Recruitment Volume×1】

[Protective suede helmet (blue) × 1]

【Smoked horse meat jerky (white) × 1】

【Seed of the Wild (Blue) × 1】

【Rotten fisheye (gray) × 1】

[Token of the Hidden Desert (Unknown) × 1]

[Nord Advanced Book (Blue) × 1]

【Fresh sweet potato vine (white) × 1】

【Broken cast iron key (gray) × 1】

[Construction drawing of the fourth-order deep salt well (purple) × 1]

With the emergence of the subtitle prompt, all the items that Zong Shen drew in the 500-points stall were automatically stored in the storage compartment.

In the point draw of this grade, most of the reward items are of the grade below blue.

However, his luck was not bad. Not only did he draw an unknown item, but he also drew a fourth-order rare architectural blueprint.

As for the other items, it is also good.

[Nord Advanced Book (Blue)], just enough to meet the requirements of Nord soldiers from the second rank to the third rank.

Tie Zhu happens to be the second-order Nord shadow scout, and using this advanced book can make him a third-order scout.

And the [Fresh Sweet Potato Vine (White)], although the rank is only white, has a great effect as well. This thing can be planted to cultivate high-yield sweet potato crops!

After this period of observation, he found no trace of sweet potatoes in Bosbang.

The food crops in the state city are mainly wheat, and some potatoes are also grown.

But compared with sweet and glutinous sweet potatoes, potatoes are slightly inferior.

In addition to being a staple food, sweet potatoes can also be used to make sugar and starch.

It is an excellent grain crop, suitable for territorial cultivation.

Zong Shen immediately closed the [Points Draw], immersed himself in the storage compartment, and quickly found the green sweet potato vine.

This thing is easy to survive, even if it is cut into several sections and then planted, it can survive in large quantities with a little water, as long as you make sure that there are enough buds on the planted vine sections.

This is especially true in summer and autumn when there is plenty of rain.

The cold winter and spring are not suitable for sweet potato planting.

These are all common sense, sweet potatoes are a good baby!

With a flip of his hand, he took out the sweet potato vine that was about eighty centimeters in length.

Staring at the vine, looking at its properties.

【Fresh sweet potato vine (white)】

[Quality: Ordinary]

[Sweet potato vines with good activity can be planted and cultivated]

(The miscellaneous grain crop spread from the southeastern islands of the mainland 863 years ago, because of the impact of the environment, it has a higher yield and survival rate than the earth's sweet potato, and is an important ration for the island deserters. In the south and west of the mainland , There is a small amount of planting in the eastern region, and there is no trace of it in the northern region)

Sure enough, it was the sweet potato vine he thought it was!

Unexpectedly, there are also in this endless continent!

And in the background notes of the Raiders, this thing originated from most of the islands off the southeast coast.

This situation reminded him that Huaxia's sweet potatoes were brought back from Southeast Asia.

He grabbed the tender sweet potato vine, and his mood improved inexplicably.

The small vine in his hand made him feel a little bit of excitement.

I can't hide it, the farming instinct in my bloodline has finally awakened!

Such a joyous mood reminded him of when he recruited Colby.

Zong Shen turned around with a smile on his face, and beckoned to Salome Lin Yu, a high-level agronomist standing behind him.

"Salome Linyu, do you know what crop this is?"

Zong Shen waved the sweet potato vine in his hand, which made him unconsciously take a few steps forward.

The nature druid's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the sweet potato vine, his eyes slowly swept across every leaf and vein, and his face showed a thoughtful look.

After being silent for half a minute, he frowned.

Somewhat ashamed, he bowed and said.

"Please forgive me sir."

"There is no such crop in my memory or in the Advanced Agronomy Manual..."

"But I can sense a very strong vitality from it."

Zong Shen smiled slightly, not surprised by this result.

Whether soldiers or technical talents, as long as they are recruited, their origins are different.

Basically from the time period between more than 10,000 years ago and thousands of years ago.

The sweet potato vine of the Endless Continent was a new crop that was spread from the southeastern islands more than 800 years ago.

Affected by various reasons, it has not even been popularized on a large scale in the mainland.

So it's normal that Salome Lin Yu doesn't know what sweet potato vines are.

"It's a high-yielding food crop."

"Cut this cane into several sections, and keep the sprouts and plant them directly."

"You need more watering after planting."

"During the summer, it takes about four to five months to fully mature."

"It produces a lot of tubers and can be eaten steamed or roasted."

"Great satiety and lots of sugar."

"With the blessing of natural magic, its yield can be much higher than that of wheat!"

In his memory, Zong Shen told Salome Lin Yu roughly about the characteristics and conditions of sweet potatoes.

Hearing his eyes light up.

"If what you say is true."

"Then the planting cost and comprehensive benefits of this crop must exceed that of wheat!"

"You...can you show it to me?"

Salome Lin Yu is indeed a senior agronomist, he is very interested in any crops.

Due to the different times, he did not know about sweet potato crops, so now he pays special attention to the sweet potato vines in front of him.

Zong Shen was very satisfied with his request and the response he showed.

He raised his hand and handed the sweet potato vine over.

On the other hand, Salome Lin Yu bowed his body, raised his generous hands, and took it with great care.

In fact, about sweet potatoes, Zong Shen still had some things he didn't tell him.

The sweet potato crop has many advantages and can save thousands of lives in times of famine.

But as a coarse grain, it is still very different from a staple food.

Eating too much sweet potato for a long time will cause abdominal distension and abdominal pain, because sweet potato contains an oxidase, which is easy to produce a large amount of carbon dioxide gas in the human gastrointestinal tract.

It is also the reason why it is easy to fart after eating sweet potatoes.

Secondly, there is too much sugar in sweet potatoes, which can easily cause abdominal discomfort.

Sweet potatoes are high in sugar, and eating too much will stimulate a large amount of gastric acid secretion and feel burning pain.

Stomach acid will also flow back into the esophagus, resulting in acid reflux and vomiting acid water.

The most critical point is the lack of protein and fat and various vitamins in sweet potatoes.

The disadvantage of sweet potatoes is the lack of nutrients, which is why it cannot completely replace the staple food.

The reason why rice and wheat can become staple foods and have a more special status than whole grains is because their nutrition is more comprehensive.

Take rice as an example. It has fat, B vitamins, and proteins such as rice gluten, rice glue, and globulin, not to mention the carbohydrates that are mainly responsible for their functions.

The same is true of wheat, which is more comprehensive and rich in nutrition.

Using wheat and rice germ, wheat bran, chaff, and even oil can be extracted.

This is the most important standard of staple food!

But the above situation still cannot hide the advantages of sweet potatoes. As long as it is planted on a large scale, Zong Shen has a way to deal with it.

In other respects, the knowledge on Earth may not match that of the Endless Continent.

But when it comes to the application of sweet potatoes, the experience of sweet potato processing in the earth is more comprehensive and perfect than that of the endless continent. After all, sweet potatoes have not yet been popularized here.

Sweet potatoes grown in a large area can be made into sugar and sweet potato starch to make sweet potato vermicelli

It can also be dried directly to make sweet and glutinous dried sweet potatoes.

It can also be directly steamed and eaten as a supplement to the main food.

There are many ways to make it, so you don't have to worry about running out of it!

In just a few minutes, Zong Shen thought about its use.

In terms of its practical use, sweet potato is definitely a food crop with great potential.

Although its rank is a white ordinary rank, it is distinguished by the rank system of the Endless Continent.

Nothing can hide its significance for the development of the territory.

When the sweet potatoes are produced in large quantities, Zong Shen can also sell them to other lords.

Definitely a hit.

After all, the Avalon Kingdom is located in the eastern part of the mainland, and it is unlikely that you want to get sweet potatoes.

Just as Zong Shen was thinking happily, Mariel drove the load-bearing mecha from the east into the central area and came directly to Zong Shen.

"Sir, here I come."

"Please let those three technical talents come with me."

Mariel nodded in greeting, and then said swiftly.

At this time, the goblin engineer Buckron Ironhand also drove back with the Earthshaker chariot.

Parked the chariot more than ten meters away from Zong Shen, opened the hatch, and climbed out excitedly.

Clearly, the Earthshaker chariot made him very happy.

"Clap clap clap!"

Zong Shen clapped his hands and motioned everyone to listen to him.

"Cough cough!"

"This is Mariel, the territory's interior officer."

"You can call her Lady Mariel."

"She is in charge of the logistics and internal affairs of the territory."

"Now she will arrange accommodation for you, please follow her to the living area!"
