Zhao Hai nervously looked at the Bottle Tree in front of him. This Bottle Tree was already the seventh generation. Zhao Hai wanted to communicate with it so that he could understand the Bottle Tree better.
Fortunately, this Bottle Tree was stimulated by natural energy. Therefore, it was very smart and was able to communicate with Zhao Hai. Therefore, Zhao Hai didn't find it difficult to communicate with it.
This Bottle Tree was the best one that Zhao Hai and the others could cultivate. Not only could it absorb water very quickly, but the amount of water it absorbed was also a lot more than before. Naturally, the most important thing was that the Bottle Tree could release water to change the surrounding soil.
While Zhao Hai was chatting with the Bottle Tree, he wanted to know more about its functions. Now that he had a basic understanding of it, the Bottle Tree had already met his requirements.
After communicating with the Bottle Tree for a while, Zhao Hai turned to the others and said, "Everyone, I have good news for you. We succeeded!"
Upon hearing Zhao Hai, everyone cheered. This news was very good for them. Their hard work in the past few months wasn't in vain.
Zhao Hai looked at everyone, then he smiled faintly and said, "Alright, don't be too happy. Although this tree is the most qualified tree that we have cultivated so far, its drought resistance still doesn't meet our requirements. At the same time, it needs to keep up with the other trees." Zhao Hai looked at everyone and smiled faintly.
Everyone nodded. Zhao Hai looked at the crowd and chuckled. "Everyone, what kind of environment is the desert? I think everyone has seen it. What we want to do is for the present and for the future. Therefore, we must do it well. If we can really turn the desert into a grassland, then our children will benefit from it. Today, in order to celebrate the success of our research, we must eat a big meal. Let's go back."
Everyone cheered again. To be honest, they couldn't eat or drink well in the desert. They also couldn't sleep well. Moreover, everyone was busy with their research. Because of this, a lot of people became thinner than before. Each and every one of them looked like they were tanned.
This was especially true for the Hu Family. They have been in the desert for a year now. During this time, the amount of vegetables that they could eat was limited. At most, they could only eat sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes were similar to the sweet potatoes on Earth. They didn't taste very good, but they were the only vegetables that they could eat.
In the desert, every inch of land was very precious. People wouldn't waste even a little bit of land. Except for some land that wasn't suitable for farming and was left as pastures, the rest of the land was almost all planted with grains. There was very little land used for growing vegetables. It could be said that there was almost no land.
This was something that couldn't be helped. In the Great Desert, there was definitely less land and more people. In that limited land, it wasn't easy to feed so many people.
Naturally, in this year, a lot of things happened. The trade caravan between the desert and the Saber Spirit Country was finally opened. This trade caravan was moving along the edge of the grassland. There were very few prairie tribes there. Moreover, the grassland was very chaotic, making it even more deserted.
Opening this trade route was very difficult. The first time they went to the Saber Spirit Country, it went very smoothly. But when they came back, they were attacked by the prairie tribes. They were almost completely wiped out. Later on, they explored other trade routes and chose a lot of places before finally choosing this one.
Now that this trade route had been settled, all kinds of good things from the desert flowed into the Saber Spirit Country, and from there, they flowed to the entire Soul World. All kinds of living materials from the Saber Spirit Country also flowed into the desert, improving the living standards of the villages in the desert. However, there was still a problem, the vegetables in the desert were still very little. There was no other way, the vegetables from the Saber Spirit Country couldn't be transported to the desert, and the desert itself almost didn't grow vegetables.
But now, the people in the desert could eat vegetables. For the people in the desert, this was definitely good news. This also reduced the chances of the people in the desert getting sick.
In this year, the people of the Ten Great Strongholds didn't stop their reconnaissance of the Tiger Spirit Country. This was because the trade route was opened. Otherwise, the people of the Ten Great Strongholds would have already attacked the Tiger Spirit Country. They wouldn't have waited until now.
Using a year's time to conduct reconnaissance was almost unimaginable for the desert bandits. But this time, they really did it.
The people of the Ten Great Strongholds Alliance not only carried out reconnaissance of the Tiger Spirit Country, they also trained the desert bandits to fight in the mountains. It can be said that this year was a very busy year for the Ten Great Strongholds.
This year, Zhao and the others didn't do anything else. Everyone was immersed in crazy experiments. Every day, they only slept for about three hours. Those who had long beards didn't have time to take care of their hair. In their eyes, there was only data, only experiments. This crazy behavior even scared the old people in the old man's village. Zhao and the others didn't have time to take care of their hair.
But this time, the results were really good. First, the improvement of the Bottle Tree was successful. Then, the improvement of the Baobab Tree was also very successful. The Baobab Tree was now very different from the one that Zhao Hai had seen before. The Baobab Tree now had less branches and leaves, but it had more Baobab Fruits. However, the size of the Baobab Fruits was also smaller.
Next was the pasture grass. The pasture grass in the desert was different from the pasture grass in the prairie. The pasture grass in the prairie was very tall, some of them could even grow up to a meter tall. However, the pasture grass in the desert wasn't that tall. At most, it was 30 to 40 centimeters tall.
Moreover, the growth rate of these grasses was very fast. During the rainy season, these grasses would grow in the shortest time possible. After the rainy season, these grasses would be green for a few months, and they would even bear seeds.
It can be said that the results of Zhao Hai's research were very gratifying. At this time, all the strongholds in the desert treated the Old Man Strongholds as a treasure. There was no need for the Ten Great Strongholds to give an order, nobody would attack the Old Man Strongholds. They were all consciously protecting the Old Man Strongholds.
At this time, the Old Man Strongholds didn't lack supplies. But even so, it wasn't easy to eat a good meal. And the so-called good food here was at most the mutton.
Grass sheep was already a good thing in the desert. There weren't a lot of grasslands in the desert, so there weren't many places to raise sheep. Therefore, eating fresh mutton wasn't an easy thing to do.
Naturally, there were times when people in the desert could eat meat, and that was when they went to the prairie to rob. When these people went to the prairie to rob, they would look for food in the prairie. Not to mention other things, the cattle and sheep that came back would be brought to the desert. Then they would be slaughtered and made into jerky. This would be enough for them to eat for a long time.
The food that Zhao Hai and the others ate today was mutton. In the desert, this was already a good thing. Although the taste of the mutton was still the same, everyone was very happy to eat it.
After eating, everyone immediately went to rest. This year had been very tiring for them. Everyone slept for three days and three nights. Naturally, this didn't include Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai woke up the next day. He knew that this wasn't the time to completely relax, but he didn't object to it.
When Zhao Hai saw that everyone was sleeping soundly, he didn't wake them up. Instead, he began to organize the information. This time, they had a lot of things to experiment with. There was a lot of information that needed to be organized. Moreover, this information would be sent to the Hu Clan in the future.
This information wasn't easy to organize. Only Zhao Hai, who was in charge of the situation, was able to organize this information. If it was someone else, they wouldn't be able to do it.
In the past two days, the stronghold had been very quiet. Hu Ding and the others were sleeping soundly. Therefore, only a few people were active in the stronghold. The elders couldn't help Zhao Hai and the others, so they consciously did what they could. They were still farming, and most of it was food. There was no other way. The memory of the lack of food and clothing was deeply engraved in their minds. Therefore, even if they didn't lack food, they still planted a lot of food. Zhao Hai didn't care about them. The desert's environment was like this. In the desert, aside from the rainy season, no matter how much food you store, you don't need to worry about it going bad. This was because the desert was too dry.
There was no harm in storing food. During the day, Zhao Hai organized the information. Yesterday, Zhao Hai planned to rest. These days, he was very tired. However, his natural energy was much more profound than others. Moreover, his body was also much better than others. Therefore, after sleeping for a day, he was completely recovered. But now, he wasn't as busy as before. Therefore, Zhao Hai didn't need to work as hard as before. He planned to have a good sleep.
It didn't take long for Zhao to open his eyes. His eyes flashed with a cold light. He just felt that a small team had sneaked into the old man's stronghold. This group of people was dressed differently. They were all wearing black clothes, and their cooperation was very tacit. Of course, the most important thing was that they didn't have any soul objects on their heads. Zhao felt a chill run down his spine.
Upon seeing this situation, Zhao Hai immediately thought that these people might be the Tiger Soul Country's hunting team. When Zhao Hai was ambushed by the Tiger Soul Country, he saw these people without any soul objects. They used artifacts to hide their souls. Now that these people appeared again, Zhao Hai naturally thought of the Tiger Soul Country.
However, after confirming their identity, Zhao Hai was puzzled. He didn't know why the other party came here. Wasn't this too strange? If the Wolf Soul Country came to deal with him, then he wouldn't be surprised. The Wolf Soul Country's people wanted him dead. But why did the Tiger Soul Country send people?
