The three of them chatted in the Space. In fact, Merlin and Meg also liked to stay in the Space. After experiencing the calamity of their family's destruction, they liked a carefree place like the Space. The Space was like a paradise.
In addition, Merlin and the others had only recently discovered that when they were in the Space, their magic cultivation speed was much faster than outside. This was something that Meg discovered first.
Meg was only a 6th Rank Mage, so she still had a lot of room for improvement. Therefore, when she was in the Space, she would also cultivate magic. But because she was too busy when she first entered the Space, she didn't have time to cultivate. Later on, although she felt that her cultivation speed was faster than before, she didn't take it to heart.
It wasn't until she left the Space and started cultivating that she felt the gap. Therefore, she took it to heart and told Merlin about it.
Merlin rarely cultivated now because she was already an 8th Rank Great Mage. Moreover, she had reached a bottleneck. Even if she wanted to cultivate, she wouldn't be able to break through that bottleneck in a short period of time. At her level, if she wanted to increase her strength, she didn't just rely on the accumulation of mana. More importantly, she needed an opportunity, an epiphany. In addition, she was too busy right now, so she couldn't cultivate in peace. Therefore, Merlin hadn't deliberately cultivated magic for a long time. Naturally, she didn't discover the difference in the Space.
When Merlin heard Meg's words, she felt very strange. Therefore, she experimented and found that the speed of recovering mana in the Space was much faster than outside. At present, it was half as fast as outside.
Merlin also told this to Zhao Hai, but Zhao Hai also didn't understand what was going on. However, he discovered that Merlin and the others' cultivation in the Space didn't have much of an effect on the Space. Therefore, he didn't care about it. In any case, Merlin and the others' improvement in strength was also beneficial to him.
After chatting for a while, the crops outside began to mature. The first to mature wasn't the radishes, but the peas. Peas took 18 hours to mature. Zhao Hai didn't expect that the peas would mature before the radishes. However, he still put the peas away. Not only could the peas be eaten, they could also be used as seeds. However, Zhao Hai wasn't prepared to plant them right now.
After harvesting the peas, there were two acres of empty land. Zhao Hai didn't do anything else and directly planted the two magic peach seeds. This thing was too useful. The sooner he harvested it, the better. He didn't want to plant it when he needed to use it.
There was only one magic peach planted on one acre of land, which made the space seem a lot more spacious. Zhao Hai also tried it. He took out some corn seeds and wanted to plant them on that acre of land, but they couldn't be planted at all.
Although there was no way to plant things on it, people could walk on it. However, Zhao Hai and the others were afraid that walking on the ground would affect the growth of the magic peach, so they would rather walk around it.
Two hours after planting the magic peaches, the radishes ripened. This time, because the radishes had been planted, it took a full twenty hours to ripen. But the harvest made Zhao happy. The radishes had eighty kilograms of seeds in one acre of land, which was about one hundred and sixty pounds. In two acres of land, he had harvested three hundred and twenty pounds of radish seeds.
After harvesting 320 kilograms of seeds, Zhao Hai immediately planted the radishes on the two acres of land. He wanted to see how many seeds were needed to plant these two kilograms of radishes.
As a result, after planting the two acres of land, Zhao Hai couldn't help but smile when he saw the amount of seeds used. These two acres of land only used 4 kilograms of seeds. He now had more than 300 kilograms of radish seeds in his hand. It seemed that he wouldn't have to worry about seeds for a long time in the future.
After another two hours, the pumpkins matured. Zhao Hai stored the pumpkins in the two acres of land into the warehouse and planted the radishes. The last one to mature was the cucumber. The cucumber matured for 28 hours. This made Zhao Hai directly put the cucumber on the list of things to plant.
During this time, Zhao Hai harvested a season of oil fruit. After planting the radishes in the cucumber field, Zhao Hai finally felt relieved.
After calculating, Zhao Hai now had 150 gold coins in the Space. He had 2 acres of cucumbers, 2 acres of peas, 2 acres of pumpkins, 2 acres of cauliflower, 2 acres of cabbage, 2 acres of eggplant, 2 acres of wheat, 15 crops of oil fruit, 28 crops of corn, and 8 acres of radishes.
These things weren't a small amount. One must know that cabbage, eggplant, and pumpkins were all famous for their high yield. Needless to say, oil fruit trees and corn were the most abundant in Zhao Hai's warehouse. 300 oil fruit trees could harvest 450,000 kilograms of oil fruit, and 10,000 kilograms of corn could be harvested in one season. These two things were the most abundant in the Space.
Needless to say, Zhao Hai wasn't going to directly use corn as fodder. Corn could be made into food, but in order to make it into food, it needed further processing. Although they had the mill, Zhao Hai didn't want to process it immediately.
After the corn was processed, the rice bran could be used as fodder. If the radish leaves were added, and the oil fruit was processed into oil and oil residues, the oil residues could also be used as fodder. In this way, he might not need to turn the corn into fodder. Instead, the rice bran and oil residues would be enough to feed the magic beasts in the Space.
Although there weren't any magic beasts in the Space right now, there would be soon. 300 blue-eyed rabbits wasn't a small number. He remembered that when he played the game, ordinary rabbits would consume a bit of food every two hours. In other words, a rabbit could consume a pound of radish leaves in two hours. Such consumption wasn't small.
The blue-eyed rabbits in the Ark Continent were similar to the rabbits on Earth. However, the movements in the Ark Continent were much more vigorous than those on Earth. Therefore, Zhao Hai didn't know how much food the blue-eyed rabbits needed every hour. He would have to wait until Green came back to find out.
However, the radish leaves he had collected were a lot, enough to support him for a while. Currently, the people in Iron Mountain Castle were planting alfalfa. As long as they finished planting the alfalfa, Zhao Hai could let them process corn. This way, they would have fodder to use.
After they finished their trade with Laura, they would have iron. Zhao Hai could then buy some oil extraction machines. When the time comes, they could extract oil from the oil fruit. With the oil residues, they would have fodder.
Zhao Hai wasn't prepared to raise too many animals in the Space. First, there was the issue of fodder. Second, he wanted to leave some space to catch more animals to raise. In any case, he could see that leveling up in the Space was different from when he was playing the game. In the game, you only needed to farm and raise animals to level up. However, in the Space, the chances of leveling up by farming were very low. It was far inferior to bringing plants from the continent to level up in the Space. Thinking about it, the Space was similar. Therefore, Zhao Hai wasn't prepared to raise too many animals to level up in the Space. That would be too slow.
After dealing with the matters in the Space, Zhao Hai was bored. He looked at the screen in the Space and kept going back and forth between the two transmission points. Needless to say, the castle was still very busy. The male slaves were now repairing the walls, while the female slaves were arranged by Blockhead to plant alfalfa. Zhao Hai was very satisfied with Blockhead's arrangement.
Iron Mountain Castle didn't have a magic formation to protect it, so its defensive ability was very limited. Even if it was repaired, it would only look good. Therefore, Zhao Hai didn't need to worry and could slowly repair it.
On the other hand, planting alfalfa was even more tiring. Alfalfa itself was very easy to grow. If you don't take care of it, you can just throw the seeds into the ground. As long as it wasn't eaten by birds, it would grow on its own. Naturally, Blockhead's alfalfa wasn't that simple. However, it wasn't that complicated. They just needed to dig a small hole in the ground and throw the seeds in. After that, they would bury the hole and water it. However, the weeds on the mountain had to be removed, otherwise they would compete with the alfalfa.
After the weeds were removed, they naturally couldn't be wasted. Chrysanthemum and the others used the weeds to weave straw mats. In addition to the straw mats, Chrysanthemum and the others didn't stop their research on the straw boats. Although they had Blockhead now, the weeds were still wasted. Moreover, the straw mats that they made wouldn't be able to be bought. Almost all the commoners outside knew how to weave straw mats, while the nobles didn't know how to use straw mats. Therefore, after making enough straw mats, Chrysanthemum and the others stopped and began to research the straw boats.
However, this still needed to be done step by step. Right now, Chrysanthemum and the others were mainly planting alfalfa. Although growing alfalfa was very simple, they still planted a lot. Alfalfa seeds were very small. Originally, Green and the others bought alfalfa seeds in order to improve the soil in the Iron Mountain. Therefore, they had a lot of alfalfa seeds, enough for them to plant the entire Iron Mountain. Weaving straw mats and researching the straw boats could only be done in their free time.
Seeing that there wasn't anything happening in the castle, Zhao Hai didn't pay attention to it. Instead, he contacted Drunk and the others. Drunk and the others had already entered the Carrion Swamp. However, they were only moving around the periphery of the swamp. Moreover, they didn't encounter any powerful magic beasts or undead.
Although Zhao Hai was able to communicate with Drunk and the others through the Space, because he hadn't been there before, he didn't set up a transmission point. Therefore, he didn't know where Drunk and the others were. Drunk and the others were fine.
They also listened to Zhao Hai. This time, they entered the Carrion Swamp with the main purpose of exploring. They weren't in a hurry to go inside. The periphery of the Carrion Swamp didn't have any powerful magic beasts or undead. With their strength, they should be able to deal with them.
Seeing that they were fine, Zhao Hai felt relieved. Then he switched the image on the monitor to Stony Mountain.
Only Seventh and Third Zhao were in charge of Stony Mountain. Nothing had happened. The undead were still mining stones. Everything was very calm.
Zhao Hai's finger was bored as he swiped on the touch screen below the remote control. His eyes were looking at the monitor, but his mind was thinking about Green. At this time, something on the monitor attracted Zhao Hai's attention.
