With a thought, Xia Ruofei returned to the Archean Realm in a flash.
Xia Ruofei's return trip only took two to three minutes, but more than an hour passed in the Archean Realm.
Although Xia Qing didn't know why Xia Ruofei had suddenly left, he still dutifully spread out the two thousand plus cordyceps on the plastic sheet.
After the cordyceps were harvested, they still needed to be dried and turned into hay. Only then would they be the final product.
The moment Xia Ruofei entered the space, he said, "Xia Qing, your next job is to harvest the cordyceps in the cordyceps garden. As long as you have the time, go and dig up the cordyceps. Harvest all the cordyceps as soon as possible!"
Two mu of land didn't seem big, but Xia Ruofei knew that it would take a lot of time to harvest all the cordyceps after experiencing it firsthand today.
This was because this was a meticulous job. He couldn't be too hasty, or he might damage the cordyceps' skin and cause damage.
Even though the cordyceps grew in shallow areas under the surface, even if Xia Qing became more and more proficient in his work and could work 24/7, it would probably take a month or two to complete the harvest.
"Yes, Master!" Xia Qing had never hesitated to carry out Xia Ruofei's orders. "These cordyceps are already drying. I'll go and continue digging."
Xia Ruofei pondered for a moment before saying, "Wait a moment."
He scanned the area with his mental power and soon found some gauze and iron wires in a corner of the Archean Realm. These were leftovers from the construction of the Caterpillar Fungus nursery. Xia Ruofei had casually stored them in his spatial ring.
Xia Ruofei waved his hand, and these things flew over out of thin air and floated in front of Xia Ruofei.
"Let's go!" Xia Ruofei said.
Then, with a thought, he disappeared from the Archean Realm with Xia Qing and the nets, wires, and buckles. A moment later, they appeared beside the Mountain Sea Realm's Cordyceps nursery.
Xia Ruofei's idea was very simple. He wanted to build a small area next to the Cordyceps nursery for the bats and moths to live temporarily.
Because Xia Qing would come over to collect the caterpillar fungus at any time, Xia Ruofei couldn't come in every time to help isolate the bats and moths. Xia Qing's control of space was very limited, so this matter had to be done by Xia Ruofei himself.
In addition, the next step was to expand the area of the nursery for Cordyceps.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei decided to use a gauze net to enclose a small area near the nursery for the bats and moths to live there temporarily.
When the next step was to expand the nursery area, this area would also be included.
In that case, it didn't matter even if the bats and moths laid eggs in this' isolated area 'during this period of time.
Xia Ruofei and Xia Qing worked together and quickly established an isolated area about five to six square meters that was completely covered by the gauze net.
Xia Ruofei lifted one of the gauze nets in the isolated area, then used the invisible power of space to transfer all the bats and moths in the Cordyceps nursery to the isolated area. Finally, he attached the gauze net with Velcro.
"It's done." Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Xia Qing, it's been hard on you during this period of time. After you're done with your other daily tasks, come and collect the Cordyceps! Dig out all the Cordyceps as soon as possible! "
"Yes, Master!" Xia Qing said without hesitation. Then, he went into the Cordyceps nursery and started working without saying a word.
Xia Ruofei stood outside and said to Xia Qing through the gauze net, "By the way, pay attention to the time. After the Cordyceps in the Archean Realm are done drying, remember to inform me immediately!"
"Yes, Master!" Xia Qing stood up and said respectfully.
"Okay, then you go do your work! I'll go out first! "
When Xia Ruofei returned to the outside world, it was already completely dark outside. He had spent almost the entire day in the space.
Fortunately, the company's operations were as usual during this period of time. Feng Jing had also gone to Hong Kong in advance, so it was a relatively idle period for him.
His phone on the table did not ring. The Ring-Tu space definitely blocked mobile phone signals, so when Xia Ruofei entered the space, he usually did not bring his phone with him. However, he would separate a small wisp of his mental strength. This way, if someone accidentally broke in or his phone vibrated, he would be able to detect it immediately.
His phone really did not ring today. There were only one or two WeChat notifications. Xia Ruofei was busy digging the Cordyceps and ignored them.
After returning to the bedroom, Xia Ruofei picked up his phone and looked at it. One was from Ling Qingxue, and the other was from Feng Jing.
There was nothing important. Ling Qingxue was just casually chatting. When she saw that Xia Ruofei was ignoring her, she sent a pouting emoji. Feng Jing, on the other hand, gave a simple report on her work in Hong Kong for the past two days.
Xia Ruofei replied to both of them on WeChat and found an excuse to explain.
After chatting with Ling Qingxue for a while on WeChat, he felt his stomach rumbling. He hadn't eaten much today and had only drunk some water from the Space Spirit Pool. Even with his extraordinary physique, he still felt his stomach rumbling.
So he said goodbye to Ling Qingxue, got up and went downstairs. He opened the fridge and rummaged through it.
It was already past eight o 'clock in the evening. Xia Ruofei was too lazy to cook. He found some dumplings and cooked them to fill his stomach.
These dumplings were not frozen dumplings bought from the supermarket. Xia Ruofei specially asked Cao Tieshu's wife to make them for him. He put them in the fridge so that when he was too lazy to cook, he could quickly get something to eat.
The filling of the dumplings was filled with Taoyuan vegetables, so after being cooked and bitten, the fragrant taste immediately wafted out, whetting Xia Ruofei's appetite.
He ate the whole bowl of dumplings in big mouthfuls. There were at least 20 to 30 dumplings. Only then did he feel full.
After solving the problem of dinner, Xia Ruofei was not in a hurry to go upstairs. Instead, he took out a special cigarette without any logo and lit it up. Then, he walked to the courtyard to take a walk to digest the food.
Xia Ruofei walked around the farm for a while. Then he returned to the yard of the villa and sat down on the stone bench in the yard. He sighed secretly as he smoked.
Ever since he got Xia Qing, the puppet, Xia Ruofei felt that he had a lot less to worry about. Xia Qing's work ability was unquestionable. He was originally created to help manage the space.
But today, Xia Ruofei felt that having one Xia Qing was far from enough.
If he encountered such a complicated job, no matter how capable Xia Qing was, he was only one person!
"If only there were a few more puppets like Xia Qing …" Xia Ruofei looked at the stars in the sky and said to himself.
He could imagine that if there were a hundred puppets in the space, everything would be done quickly.
Not to mention a hundred puppets like Xia Qing, even if there were three to five more, the efficiency would increase by several times.
However, Xia Ruofei was only thinking about it. At least for now, it was simply impossible to realize.
Xia Qing, the only puppet, was left behind by the original owner of the space. All he did was inscribe the core runes and activate Xia Qing so that he could recognize him as his master.
As for making a puppet with his own hands, it was impossible for Xia Ruofei to do it.
A puppet of Xia Qing's level was far beyond the pinnacle of technology in the outside world. At least, Xia Ruofei had never seen an intelligent robot developed by an organization that could be as realistic as Xia Qing.
Not only in appearance, but Xia Qing's body was made of an unknown material. Even Xia Ruofei couldn't tell the difference between it and a real person.
In addition, the most important thing was that Xia Qing had a certain degree of independent thinking ability. He could communicate with Xia Ruofei like a normal human. This was a level that the artificial intelligence in the world today was far from being able to reach.
Xia Ruofei shook his head with a wry smile. He knew that he was being a bit extravagant.
However, he suddenly thought of another possibility. Perhaps it was the only possibility that he could create a puppet himself. That was the treasure in the mysterious cave in the Mountain Sea Territory that had yet to be unsealed.
Xia Ruofei had obtained immeasurable benefits just by obtaining the "Human" word jade talisman.
There was also the "Earth" word jade talisman, the "Heaven" word jade talisman, and a small jade box in the last light sphere. Since it was placed behind the "Heaven" word jade talisman, it must be even more precious.
If there was a glimmer of hope to obtain the method to create a puppet, then this glimmer of hope must be in the two jade talismans and the jade box.
However, Xia Ruofei would try it every once in a while. He was still some distance away from breaking the light membrane of the "Earth" word jade talisman, so he didn't dare to think about the "Heaven" word jade talisman and the jade box.
Moreover, even if he did obtain the method to create a puppet, Xia Ruofei estimated that the conditions to create it would be very harsh. Perhaps the materials would be very difficult to collect, or the method might have extremely high cultivation requirements.
In short, Xia Ruofei didn't believe that such a high-level puppet could be easily created.
He smiled and shook his head. He knew that he was thinking too much. These were still very far away for him.
Now, he could only get Xia Qing to do his best to harvest the caterpillar fungus. As for spending more time, there was nothing he could do.
After playing with Little Black, Lightning, and the others in the yard for a while, Xia Ruofei went upstairs to take a shower. When it was about ten at night, Xia Qing took the initiative to contact him with his divine sense.
Xia Ruofei immediately locked the doors and windows and entered the Ring-Tu space.
He had been in the outside world for about two to three hours, which was about three to four days in the Archean realm. The caterpillar fungus had already been dried.
After Xia Ruofei arrived in the space, Xia Qing immediately came forward to welcome him.
"Master! These two thousand plus caterpillar fungus have been processed! "Xia Qing pointed at a plastic container beside him.
Xia Ruofei took a look. The caterpillar fungus had already been neatly placed in the plastic container by Xia Ruofei.
If a timid person, especially a person with trypophobia, saw these thick 'dried worms' with a dark purple grass head on each worm's head, they would probably be scared out of their wits.
However, in Xia Ruofei's eyes, these caterpillar fungus were pleasing to the eye.
He asked, "What's the weight of the finished hay?"
Xia Ruofei knew that Xia Qing had definitely weighed it. There was no need for him to instruct him.
Xia Qing wasn't a machine that followed orders. Most of the time, he would make judgments based on his' database '. This was also the most valuable aspect.
Of course, this was also the important reason why Xia Ruofei felt that he had no hope of creating a puppet himself.
As expected, Xia Qing immediately said respectfully, "Master, these 2,160 caterpillar fungus weigh nearly four kilograms!"
Xia Ruofei quickly did the math in his heart and revealed a hint of joy. "In other words, almost every 1,100 caterpillars weighs a kilogram?"
The caterpillar fungus harvested this time were rather uniform in size. They were basically of about the same size. There were no particularly big or small ones.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei didn't even need to grade them. He only needed a simple division to calculate the result.
Xia Qing nodded and said, "Yes, Master!"
"Very good!" Xia Ruofei was happy from the bottom of his heart.
The last time he planted them, it was about 1,200 caterpillar fungus that weighed a kilogram. That had far exceeded the standard of 1,500 caterpillar fungus that weighed a kilogram.
Xia Ruofei didn't expect that the quality of the caterpillar fungus harvested this time would be even higher than the ones he planted in the experiment.
Back then, the less than 500 grams of caterpillar fungus harvested from the experiment was happily bought by Boss Lin of Qiantang Tong Ren Tang for 350,000 yuan.
In other words, Boss Lin offered 700,000 yuan per kilogram.
Moreover, after Boss Lin returned to Qiantang, he immediately commissioned a professional organization to test the caterpillar fungus that Xia Ruofei sold to him. The results of the test were naturally far beyond their expectations.
For this reason, Boss Lin specially called Xia Ruofei to report the results of the test. Then, he embarrassedly said that 350,000 yuan was a bit too low and insisted on giving Xia Ruofei another 50,000 yuan.
At that time, Xia Ruofei smiled and declined.
That little bit of money was nothing to Xia Ruofei. The caterpillar fungus would be the biggest after it was mass-produced.
However, the fact that Boss Lin was able to offer 800,000 yuan per kilogram also reflected the high quality of the caterpillar fungus.
The caterpillar fungus harvested this time was even better than the one he planted in the experiment. Xia Ruofei estimated that Boss Lin would buy it without hesitation if he offered a million yuan per kilogram.
Thinking of this, Xia Ruofei couldn't help but begin to calculate how much profit he could make if he harvested all the caterpillar fungus in the nursery.
He conservatively estimated that he could harvest about 500,000 caterpillar fungus from these two acres of land.
This batch of caterpillar fungus was more average. After being made into hay, about 1,100 caterpillars weighed a kilogram.
In other words, Xia Ruofei could harvest about 450 kilograms of finished hay in the end.
Even if it was calculated at 800,000 yuan per kilogram, that would be … 360 million yuan!
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but be shocked by this result.
It was just two acres of land. In a few months, other than going to the Naqu production area, he basically didn't pay any other costs. However, he could earn three to four hundred million yuan in profit.
