105. Silkworm
As the winter vacation entered its second month, Su Liu was finally freed from his heavy workload and was able to explore the infected area with Bi Yanmian and others in broad daylight.
A group of people gathered together again to explore a remote and desolate planet.
With the presence of seniors, Su Liu can clear his mind and focus on picking without worrying about his life being threatened.
Fei Yali asked, "I heard you were looking for ancient silkworms?"
Su Liu nodded: "I want to make a Persian carpet. Do I need mulberry silk?"
Siegfried, who was walking in front, turned around and asked, "What are silkworms?"
"A plump, white insect that can make cocoons and spin silk. It's very valuable," Su Liu explained. "In Earth's time, people fed silkworms with mulberry leaves, but now even the mulberry trees are extinct."
Bai Zhou lazily said, "I don't understand it, but it feels very advanced."
Luden said, "Someone in this area has seen the strange beast you described, but are you sure you can complete the purification?"
Although Su Liu has never raised silkworms, he is very familiar with the morphological characteristics of silkworms.
"As long as we can meet him, there will be absolutely no problem."
Some people in the team have enhanced vision and perspective skills, and can see the situation within a radius of dozens of miles.
After searching for a whole day, traces of the mutant silkworms were finally found.
Looking at the giant silkworm beast that was bigger than the entire mountain, Su Liu exclaimed, "If it spins a cocoon, how much silk can it produce?"
"But can we still spin silk without purifying it?" Fei Yali asked.
Su Liu didn't know what was going on, but at the moment this silkworm had no chance of making a cocoon.
As for the other small mutant silkworms, let the seniors help kill them first, and then she will go deep into the nest to investigate.
After a fierce battle, the silkworm beast was destroyed, and Siegfried cut open its heart with a knife to take out the crystal core.
The huge silkworm beast was not purified, so its body still maintained the size of a mountain after death. Because its insides were torn to pieces by the psychics, its skin was slowly collapsing and shrinking.
Inside its body is the nest of the entire race.
Several people have to take away the valuables in the nest before it collapses, every second counts.
After entering, Su Liu covered his mouth with emotion when he saw the cocoons full of blood hanging like fruits.
Persian rugs, you can't escape.
Time was running out, so she purified each cocoon and sent them into the storage robot.
Luden and others killed all the small silkworms and took away some of the large and small crystal nuclei.
Near the silkworm beast, there were many huge mulberry trees that blocked out the sky and the sun, which were all purified and recycled by Su Liu.
After doing all this, it was already dark.
After setting up camp on the spot, Siegfried and Bi Yanmian patrolled while the others counted today's spoils in the tent.
"More than 500 crystal cores, not even enough for the fare." Fei Yali was disappointed. "This place is a Level III infected area. There should be areas more suitable for hunting."
She looked at Ruden after she finished speaking, and Ruden shook his head.
"It's not that simple. The Star Show Competition will be held next semester, and all the military academies in the empire are organizing their participants to hunt and improve their strength. The place you mentioned has already been claimed by other academies. If we go there, we'll be snatching food from the tiger's mouth."
After all, they came here privately and were weak in numbers. How could they compete with the entire academy?
Su Liu asked, "Why doesn't our academy organize a collective exploration?"
Bai Zhou said, "I don't have any money."
Su Liu was speechless all of a sudden.
That's right, if the school wants to pay for students to form hunting teams, Principal Yan Yi will have to sell even his underwear.
But this time, only Su Liu gained something, while the others returned empty-handed.
Su Liu didn't want to miss the opportunity and asked, "What about going to other infected areas?"
Ruden said, "It's the same elsewhere. We applied too late and didn't have enough authority. Other colleges applied directly under the university's name, at least six months in advance, and they have huge financial support."
Military students throughout the empire were hunting beasts, so there weren't many suitable places for a few people to explore.
After hesitating for a long time, Su Liu still shamelessly contacted Huo Jie.
Huo Jie just gave me a coordinate without any other explanation.
A few hours later, the airship headed to the coordinates.
Beta Star in the Pegasus system is very suitable for students to practice.
As soon as they landed, swarms of alien species swarmed over.
Bi Yanmian and his companions went crazy killing people, and the corpses quickly piled up like a hill.
Su Liu was picking up crystal cores, splitting animal materials, and purifying the valuable captured exotic animals and plants.
This exploration took several days, and the airship's warehouse was filled with all kinds of harvests.
As soon as I returned, Shu Delai called me via video.
"Are you back? We can't do without you here. There's a problem with the durian planting technology."
Su Liu was stroking the tender white silkworms on the mulberry leaves and said, "I should have written it in detail. If there are still problems with the planting, I will check the soil, water quality, climate and other aspects one by one."
Shu Delai's attention was drawn to the silkworms, and his eyes flashed: "Could it be that what you have in your hand is a silkworm?"
"Wow, you're worthy of being the Chairman. You're truly knowledgeable." Su Liu turned the screen, showing Shu Delai a large pile of purified silk cocoons behind him. "I can start reeling silk when I get back. With so many cocoons, I should be able to get a lot of real silk."
Shudelai was deeply impressed.
How is it that this student always manages to find things that others cannot see the value of and then maximize their utilization?
She even found the silkworm, a creature that only existed in ancient legends.
Fortunately, such people were born in the empire and are firmly controlled by the military.
"I will immediately send people to collect information about mulberry silkworms, and let the purifiers and planters master it systematically as soon as possible, and then help you reel silk." What does reeling silk mean?
Su Liu did not refuse his kindness. Although he was willing to learn the technology, she did need manpower.
The airship returned to Sky City first, and Su Liu also went back to school.
Yan Ziyan is collecting wool, and Si Mingye is also helping.
"I heard you were going to weave a Persian carpet, so I volunteered to join in." Si Mingye was curious about Su Liu's knowledge system: "Could you be a robot left behind by ancient humans, with all the knowledge about past Earth civilizations stored in your brain?"
Su Liu took a large bag of cashmere from Yan Ziyan and said solemnly, "You've discovered all this. Now, it's time to kill them and silence them."
Simingye choked, "I'm not a child, you can't scare me."
Yan Ziyan interrupted, "I asked my grandfather what the Persian carpet heirloom looked like, and he sent me a video."
Three heads gathered together to watch.
In the video, the Persian carpet can be said to be extremely gorgeous.
Simingye said: "Magnificent."
Su Liu said, "It's full of brilliance."
Yan Ziyan said: "It's priceless."
This was all nonsense. Simingye cleared his throat and asked, "They should also use gold and silver thread for edging. How do you get these materials?"
So, how do we get to this point?
Simingye simply couldn't imagine something he hadn't seen before.
Su Liu said, "Traditional gold thread is made with gold foil, and the process is very complicated. It requires beating the paper, making the powder, backing the gold, fumigating the gold, cutting the gold, twisting the thread, etc. However, the modern process is much simpler, especially..."
"Wait a minute," Si Mingye interrupted and asked seriously, "Excuse me, what is gold foil?"
