The completion of the glass forging means that the construction of the greenhouse can begin, and the completion of the greenhouse will allow the residence to become self-sufficient in food and initially settle down.
In the station at the foot of the Dark Mist Mountains, a new round of construction began.
While Sylutia was concentrating on studying glass craftsmanship, craftsmen and scholars had already built a house for the students to live in. It looked somewhat like an apartment, but the house only had three floors, with four rooms on each floor, and two students lived in each room.
"Three large residential apartment buildings like this can accommodate the current students." After the construction of the first building, the member responsible for the inspection sighed.
The windows, doors, and walls of the house all use Candlekeep School"'s secret craftsmanship, which can effectively resist Distortion" erosion, and the structure of Stability, First Order monsters is extremely difficult to destroy.
After the construction of residential houses was completed, the construction of greenhouse gardens gradually began.
Compared to building a house with stone bricks, the structure of a greenhouse garden is much simpler. It has only one floor. The main body is made of stone pillars and stone bricks to build supports and frames, and then a large area of embedded glass is used to ensure light transmission.
It took about 5 days to complete the construction of the first small greenhouse. Sylutia and a group of Gardener Apprentice began to sow potatoes and watered them with water and Emerald Dew Water.
Another 12 days later, the large greenhouse in the station was completed. Sylutia did not let everyone sow seeds directly this time, but planted a batch of Alfalfa first to increase fertility.
A week later, many apprentices were surprised when they saw the Purple Alfalfa blooming in the garden. The senior Tia in front of them actually cultivated plants containing Aspect Power in a short period of time. Such strength was simply terrifying.
No wonder Tia senior sister was chosen as the team leader, it turns out she has such powerful means."
"With Alfalfa fattening, it will become much easier to grow any kind of plants."
"At first I thought that building a garrison here would most likely fail, but now I feel at ease."
"No wonder the Association chose her to be the leader. She must have valued senior Tia's huge potential in expanding territory."
"This way, we feel a lot more relaxed. At least we don't have to risk our lives to find food in the wild like other stations."
"Ah, do you still need to go to the wild to find food?" Someone was particularly surprised.
"Of course, there is not enough food in the station, and the supplies brought by the supply team are limited, so we have to find it ourselves."
"On the other side of the Dark Mist Mountains is Abyss from the Twilight Sea. There are many monsters, and a small number of them are edible. This is also a source of emergency food."
"Can't it catalyze plants directly?"
"The pollution here is serious. Do you dare to eat catalyzed food? Secondly, catalyzed food can be replenished by ordinary people, but the people stationed here are Transcendent. It is difficult for ordinary food to replenish such consumption."
"I heard that for some countries' royal families, the biggest difficulty in keeping Knight is that they cannot provide high-quality food."
"Based on level three Knight's activity consumption, he would have to eat about nine times ordinary food to meet his training needs. This means that he has to go to the toilet while eating, which is really uncomfortable."
"Therefore, nobles who cannot provide high-quality food will not be able to feed Knight at all, and even if they can, they will leave soon."
"For second-level students, you can eat ordinary food to maintain your physical strength. However, if you encounter fierce battles or use a lot of abilities, ordinary food will be difficult to restore your physical strength."
"The high-quality grain in the Woodland is purchased under direct control, and very little is circulated in the market."
"Before, at Golden Radiance Plain, only senior Tia could produce so many "rare" quality crops. You see that bakery had to buy them even if they borrowed money from colleagues. You will know how rare the raw materials are."
While everyone was talking about food crops, Sylutia was worried about another thing.
"Senior Tia, the firewood in the camp is no longer enough." A student in charge of logistics resource management reported.
"Firewood----" Sylutia looked at the barren land outside the window and didn't know where to find supplies.
There is no coal in this world, and there is no such thing as petroleum. If you want to obtain fuel raw materials, you can generally only use firewood and charcoal.
"Are there ways to obtain these resources in other places around here?" She thought that other stations should also need fuel, but she didn't know how they solved it.
"The frontline checkpoint is located in the canyon passage of the Dark Mist Mountains. There are abundant forest resources there, so there is no shortage of them."
"As for the lookout station on the top of the mountain, although there is little vegetation, they only need to go down the mountain to get a batch. Besides, they don't have many people and they consume it slowly."
"We are located at the foot of the mountain, outside the Dark Mist Mountains, so we don't have to worry about powerful monster attacks, but under the blow of Erosion Wind, basically no plants can survive, let alone the production of trees and firewood."
"I understand." Sylutia nodded and walked back and forth in the room.
Cultivating plants in greenhouses as fuel is of course one of the methods, but this method is too extravagant, and it feels like putting the cart before the horse. They built the station here just to supply the front line. If the precious food is used to burn the fire, it is really——
"Currently, how long will it take for the first batch of potatoes in the greenhouse to mature?" She asked another Gardener Apprentice.
"It will take another two weeks, but the first batch of production will not be large."
"I know." Sylutia nodded.
"However, we still have to use part of it to supply the front lines, and exchange them with them for large amounts of wood, whether it's wood or firewood."
"As for the station, we can only ask everyone to be patient for a while. After this month, when the crops in the large greenhouse mature, there will basically be no shortage of food."
"I will explain it to everyone later." She stood still and asked the students beside her to inform everyone.
At noon, in the temporary restaurant, Sylutia told everyone about the current situation and her decision, hoping that everyone could bear with it for a while.
Although I am a little unhappy about eating less every day, everyone can clearly see the situation in the station and there is no complaint. Moreover, Sylutia has also done a very good job and was able to achieve initial results in the construction of this station in a short period of time.
After making arrangements for the next two weeks, Sylutia decided to take some food and go to the frontline station, not only to inquire about the situation there, but also to get preliminary contacts to facilitate the exchange of supplies in the future.
"While I'm away, matters in the camp will be decided by Rachel, Gran, and Elton, the three of you." These three are the leaders of Knight Attendant, "Scholar Craftsman" Gardener Apprentice, respectively, in the camp.
"No problem."
"Please Tia rest assured."
"I will take care of the greenhouse garden matter." Several people nodded in agreement one by one, and they were also a little excited, with the expectation that each of them would be able to show off their talents without Sylutia.
These guys, Sylutia secretly laughed in his heart. Although they usually look quite mature, they are still young people about the same age as himself, with many ideas and impulses.
"Well, if you have anything to do, please discuss it with everyone and don't be too impatient." After giving instructions again, Sylutia led a carriage team of twelve people and set off.
Among them, the only one in their group is the second-level Knight Attendant, who is all in silver-white armor and riding a war horse. The leader, Sylutia, has a bright war armor. The pure white skirt and silver war armor match, giving him a transcendent elegance and beauty.
"Come on, let's set off."
They escorted the carriage team loaded with food and supplies, leaving the station protected by the city wall, driving into the dark and desolate Black Lion Wilderness, heading towards the depths of the Dark Mist Mountains in the distance.
