Chapter 304: You guys can figure this out?

Lu Yao entered the dimension and saw a simple compass-shaped dashboard on the right.

In the center of the dashboard was a cluster of green dots with several names squeezed together: [Unnamed Fragmented World], [Cloud Temple], [Ghost Realm], [Bamboo Reed Kingdom], and [Toastmaker's Banquet Bird].

The green group that serves as the axis is the ring-shaped world group surrounding the vortex world.

There is only one needle on the dial, pointing to the northeast.

In other words, Longxu is on this route.

Ever since switching to the Vortex World, Lu Yao's biggest worry has been the lack of a map. He can only wander aimlessly in the crawling area, and what he encounters depends entirely on luck.

Since setting out on the journey, his only achievement was the capture of two divine kingdoms, which allowed him to test out various ideas.

Now that we know the approximate location of Longxu, we have a relatively clear coordinate for starting the voyage. As long as we sail along this direction, we will find the channel world connecting Longxu.

These channel worlds are either vassals of the dragon clan in the reptile zone, or some gods who are on good terms with the dragon clan.

Due to the deterrent power of the dragon clan, the channel world is usually a relatively safe area, like small harbors in the reptile zone, maintaining a relatively stable environment.

Lu Yao made two plans.

If the channel world is intact, we can still enter Longxiu. It would be natural to let Cancong and Dark Sun Dragon under my command to visit, and there would also be a chance to make a deal.

If the channel world has been destroyed, the channel world itself is also a kingdom of God - a rotten ship still has three nails, and you can go there to collect the scraps. There are still many omnipotent stones in the gravel world like the Banquet Bird, not to mention the former kingdom of God.

Now that the development of Yanke Bird is coming to an end, it is time to find the next project for the Wujiwang team.

After sorting out the pros and cons, Lu Yao set sail and turned, pointing the Vortex World directly towards the nearest Longxu Channel World.

In the crawling area, each world moves very slowly and it will take a while to reach the destination.

Lu Yao didn't want to waste faith to speed up, so he left it alone for now.

He switched back to the Yao clan's world and first solved some troubles that had accumulated in the world over the years.

…

For quite some time, Lu Yao has been focusing on the external circulation of civilization, which does not mean that the internal circulation is going smoothly. It's just that the internal foundation is relatively solid, so there is no fundamental problem.

The Yao clan had a long-term hidden danger that lasted for many years.

The number of new population is small.

After two era updates, the population of the Yao tribe doubled. However, the population base of the Yao tribe was very small at the beginning, resulting in the total number of Yao tribe members still being less than 500,000.

Lu Yao took this very seriously.

Logically speaking, the Yao people now have no shortage of food, and they have a certain guarantee of meat, eggs and milk. The urban environment in which they live is also constantly improving. Why can't the fertility rate be raised?

He used the [Wishing Star] to read about the living conditions of the pixel people, asked a group of apostles, and looked through various data and descriptions in the background of the world... Only then did he begin to understand the reasons behind it.

Two factors.

One is the environmental impact.

The Yao Clan has only just entered the second era. The first era was relatively comfortable, but in the second era, poisons increased, extreme climates became more frequent, and natural disasters occurred frequently. In addition, the number of extraordinary creatures continued to grow, which increased the death rate of the Yao Clan to a certain extent.

The second is human selection.

The overall development of the Yao clan changed after the appearance of magic potions and ghost armor. It was no longer along the path of refinement from farming and animal husbandry to urban handicrafts.

At the fork in the road of civilization, the Yao clan entered the field of extraordinary technology. This path had no precedent and also brought about a series of unpredictable subsequent developments.

First of all, the number of extraordinary humans in the Yao clan increased, which led to more intermarriages between ordinary people and extraordinary people, and it was more difficult for extraordinary people to reproduce than ordinary people.

In addition, the Yao people are now accustomed to using magic potions to treat diseases and use magic potions as tools. However, the history of magic potions is too short and the side effects are difficult to assess. The Yao people are under certain physiological pressure and influence.

The fertility rate dropped.

All we can say is that there are both objective reasons and subjective choices.

Lu Yao’s solution is to encourage childbirth and introduce immigration.

The strategy of encouraging childbirth has produced good results in several wealthy cities, especially Yancheng and Wudacheng, which offered high incentives and attracted a lot of population from other cities.

In general, it does have a certain effect.

The introduction of immigrants includes both internal and external parts.

Internal immigrants mainly refer to the mountain people, islanders and indigenous people scattered around the Yao world. For various reasons, they did not settle in the Yao cities.

Currently, the only foreign immigrants recruited are workers from the Ghost Realm and Zhulu Kingdom, who are temporarily settled in the Sand City so that this group of people can participate in the construction of the Sand City and gradually become residents of the Yao clan city.

These strategies all have visible positive effects, but further population growth will take time.

In the simulator, the pixel figures look like mass-produced NPCs, but underneath these pixel images are lives from a lower dimension.

Life has its own choices.

What Lu Yao needs to do is to provide them with a better environment, which is also the divine rule he has always adhered to. Don't turn the pixel world into a canning factory, only pursuing enough quantity and good data.

In addition to the population problem, there is another pain point.

【Brass furnace dragon】.

The Yao civilization was trying to advance extraordinary technology, so it certainly needed more diverse and abundant high-quality materials.

Lu Yao made a list of materials, which included several candidates for the gift: rubber trees, locust trees, and coconut trees.

Rubber trees can produce latex, which after drying and solidification becomes natural rubber.

The wood quality of Sophora japonica tree is excellent and can be used to make ships, sleepers and vehicles. Its seeds can be used to extract oil and can also secrete resin.

The coconut palm is a high-quality fruit. The coconut meat is edible and the coconut fiber can be made into durable fabrics such as brushed carpets.

Lu Yao is inclined towards rubber trees.

Rubber is a basic industrial material and brass furnace dragons can be used in many ways.

When it comes to needs, you still have to ask the person involved.

"My Lord God, all the gifts you bestow are great gifts..."

Apostle Philus chose his words carefully: "The kind of water-proof, fire-proof, and resilient material you mentioned is actually already available in the Yao Clan."

Lu Yao was puzzled. How could you guys figure this out? "It's [Black Mud]."

The skeleton man explained: "Black mud has excellent waterproof ability. It can be shaped and bonded with just a little heating. After solidification, it will retain a certain degree of flexibility and is reliable and durable. These are the results of many years of experience of the Wuji people."

"When White Castle first designed the [Brass Furnace Dragon], he considered using black mud to partially wrap it, and even built some soft channels to allow artificial dragon blood to circulate."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"But there was one problem that had not been solved at the time, which was how to make the black mud fireproof."

When talking about professional issues, Philles spoke in detail: "Until half a year ago, an engineer named Tieyang in Yancheng finally found a solution."

"He mixed black mud with borax to form a shiny fireproof layer that was also very wear-resistant. This major improvement completely turned black mud into a high-end material that can be widely used. It is not only used for brass furnace dragons, but can also be used in other engineering and castings..."

Lu Yaoren was a little confused.

Why didn’t the simulator remind me of this macho man named Tieyang?

"... Tieyang is now a lifelong scholar in Baibao. He is continuing his research on advanced materials in Baibao. Such outstanding scholars are constantly emerging, and the atmosphere of creation and invention of the Yao clan has never been stronger." Philles said happily.

Lu Yao found Tie Yang in Baibao.

Engineer Tieyang is 72 years old. His detailed experience can only be found in the background. Tieyang started as a blacksmith apprentice and graduated from the engineering college at the age of 37, becoming an engineer.

His personal history is almost completely blank, apparently considered mediocre and not worth recording, except for the one about transforming black mud.

At the age of 72, Tieyang finally made a breakthrough and discovered how to use borax.

The black mud improved by borax has become a high-end substitute for natural rubber. It is a renewable material that has been verified by the Wuji people for many years. Baibao is now urging the prophet Black Forge to produce a large amount of black mud.

Lu Yao gave Tie Yang a point, raising him to LV10, which might extend his lifespan.

"Thank you, God Yao... Thank you... Thank you for your grace." The old engineer was terrified and knelt on the ground, constantly expressing his gratitude for the god's blessings.

Lu Yao sighed.

The internal competition among the Yao clan is now too fierce. Even the invention of boronized black mud is not enough to surpass its peers and trigger the transformation mechanism into heroes and prophets.

Obviously there are other inventors of the same level who have made similar contributions.

Lu Yao suddenly felt a sense of emptiness.

As a god, I can’t even find a place to bestow gifts.

Forget it, I'll give you some coconuts.

He grabbed a green coconut on the table.

Suddenly, Lu Yao thought again that the gift was icing on the cake for the Yao Clan, but Sand City might be a timely help. Yunzhong Temple needed more resources and support.

So Lu Yao put down the coconut and looked at the cactus in the pot on the table.

"Xiao Huo, peel a coconut for me."

"Yes, God."

The cactus stood up from the pot and ran to the kitchen carrying the coconut.

Lu Yao found a pair of chopsticks and picked out the cactus next to the potted plant - it was originally used to camouflage and cover Xiaohuo. He deliberately bought some cacti to put together with Xiaohuo.

The cactus was gifted to the temple in Sand City.

Soon, two cacti grew outside the temple.

The gods bestowed their first blessing on the Sand City, which made the residents of the Sand City, big and small, very excited.

"The grace of God!"

"The gods have blessed Sand City!"

"This is the gift and life given by God Yao, we must protect it well!"

"Cactus, we need to plant a lot of cacti."

"Everyone take action."

Mayor Slemmod's clone began to lead everyone to plant cacti together.

Lu Yao touched his chin.

It's not enough.

In an extreme environment like Yunzhong Temple, ordinary cacti may not be able to withstand it, so they have to be strengthened.

Lu Yao clicked on the golden field and opened the [Tree of Creation].
