At this time, Zifeng is also preparing to cooperate with Laura. He had to prepare several large empty rooms in the castle to be used as an oil production plant. He had to rearrange the mine to raise blue-eyed rabbits. He must also go with Merlin to see if there is a Water of Warcraft in the mountains and lakes.
Zifeng had not taken any action before because he had no money in his hands. Although he got more than 1,000 gold coins from Garan, if he does not have a stable source of income, the gold coins will be spent sooner or later. Therefore, Zifeng did not dare to touch gold coins before reaching an agreement with Laura.
Now he has formed an alliance with Laura, and the first money will be credited within three days. Although it is small, it is still a stable source of income. He believes that their income will increase in the future. Therefore, what was not prepared before should be prepared now.
When they returned to Zifeng Iron Mountain Castle, it was already afternoon. The slaves are not idle now. A large part of them are still repairing the castle. Female slaves still planted fruit trees and alfalfa in the mountains. Iron Mountain is huge. It is impossible for her to plant all the crops in a short time. As I said, even if all the crops are planted, she can't let them go. The weeds should grow, she had to remove the weeds. After Zifeng returned, he immediately arranged for someone to clean the room. There are still many large rooms in the castle outside the castle. Those rooms were originally the warehouses of the castle, but when they were left uninhabited for a long time, they were abandoned. They can now be used as oil production plants.
I don’t know if I’m not ready, but this kind of preparation only made Zifeng realize that he thinks things are too simple and thinks that as long as the oil press is ready, it can produce fruit oil.
However, he didn't realize that he still had a lot to lose until he was ready. First, they need a place to clean the oil. The fruit after squeezing oil must be washed first before being squeezed. Otherwise, there will be fruit hairs on the oil skin in the fruit oil, which will affect the quality of the fruit oil.
Secondly, they need to continuously put oil into the oil press, which requires manpower and tools. The manpower is good enough, it can be said that Zifeng can replace it with undead creatures, but this tool needs to be prepared separately. Although he has a lot of biological materials in his hands, this oil extraction tool has not yet come out.
Third, they still need to prepare tools, whether it is a wooden barrel or an iron box, so they cannot take out any oil, so they must pour the oil on the ground. In addition, one thousand pounds of oil a day is not a small amount, and there are many barrels to prepare.
Now Zifeng has no carpenter, no one can make wooden barrels, and the cost of iron barrels is too high. The money in Zifeng's hands is not enough to buy a lot of iron barrels, so he can only use some wooden barrels first.
As a result, Zifeng found that the money in his hands was really not enough, even if he wanted to develop faster.
Zifeng now has no choice but to wait until the hydraulic machine arrives, then go to Casa City to see how much the barrel is worth, and then prepare to buy some barrels.
Zifeng regrets a bit now. He shouldn't buy a hydraulic machine first. It's best to save the money to buy other things. What he should do now is to save some blue-eyed rabbits first, and then ask Laura to find him a buyer. After all, this is equivalent to an unprofitable transaction for Zifeng.
Although there will be no large-scale hydraulic press here due to financial problems, the rooms still need to be cleaned up. When hydraulic presses arrive, there must always be a place to install them.
This allowed the slaves to clean the room. Zifeng and Merlin left the castle and went directly to the lake in the mountains. There are no fish in the lake in the mountains, which may be due to the effects of toxins during the animal tides, but this does not rule out why the lake may have a powerful water system of Warcraft. If there is a monster water system, the fish they cast are equivalent to feeding the monster. To be on the safe side, Zifeng decided to ask Meilin to check the lake in the mountain to determine if there were any Warcrafts there.
Green and Meg followed closely, and if a powerful water system beast was found in mountains and lakes, they could also help deal with it. Although Melinda had checked it once before, it was more careful this time. At the same time, she is also checking the direction of the water flow. After all, if she did not check the direction of the water flow in this mountain and lake, many fish would run away.
Fortunately, there is really no Warcraft water system in the lake. The current does not seem to be very rapid, and there are no creatures in the water. It seems that the beasts and undead in the swamp are too toxic, so there is no life in the lake in the mountains.
Zifeng still felt uneasy, so he sent an undead creature into the lake and left the source of the lake. Unfortunately, there is no way to find the source of the lake. The strange thing is that Zifeng has an inlet on the right hand side and an outlet on the left hand side of Zifeng. Both the inlet and the outlet are mines dug by dwarves, but both openings are intact.
The news from the undead was that the water outlet and water inlet were blocked by something, and they could not pass. This surprised Zifeng, he hurried into space to turn on the screen to see what was underwater.
Zifeng was taken aback by the underwater situation. Although no big fish or magic hat can be seen in the lake, it does not look empty at all. There are many aquatic plants in the water. Most importantly, Zifeng actually saw the corals in the water.
This is what surprised Zifeng. He didn't understand why there were coral-like things on the bottom of the lake. He remembers that coral-like things usually live in the sea. How can there be such a thing at the bottom?
However, it is a pity that he is too far from the water outlet and the water inlet. He couldn't see what was blocking the water outlet and water inlet.
Zifeng had to call back the undead creature that was sent into the water, and then gave him the evil spirit stick, and asked him to take the evil spirit stick to the gate.
In fact, Zifeng has no answer in his heart. Corals are likely to block the entrance and exit of the gate. If this is the case, he doesn't need to worry about anything, just fish in the lake.
Merlin followed Zifeng and looked at the screen. The undead quickly reached the inlet of the lake. The water inlet of this lake is very large, more than 10 meters in height and 20 meters in width. However, the water inlet was completely blocked by a fake coral. It is blue and looks like blue crystals in the water. very beautiful.
As soon as Merlin saw this, he nodded and said, "This is a crystal hornworm. Yes, only this kind of thing can escape my investigation and survive in this place."
Zifeng looked at Mei Lin in confusion, and said, "Grandma Mei Lin, what is a crystal hornworm?"
