After successfully growing food in the greenhouse.

The senior leaders of the Snow Tribe canceled the plan to invade the south, and instead vigorously developed their own productivity and launched a production movement.

Zhou Ming became the general person in charge of the agricultural department, fully guiding the agricultural development of the Snow tribe.

There are tens of billions of strong men from the Snow Clan for Zhou Ming to call upon.

In addition, in order to refine enough light-transmitting glass, the two elders of the Snow Clan, Wulu and Kamen, also became Zhou Ming's subordinates, helping to refine the glass every day.

Even the Ice and Snow Saint herself went into battle, raising tens of millions of tons of sand and stones with a wave of her hand. When they landed, they turned into millions of pieces of glass...

This shows that the Ice and Snow Saint attaches great importance to agricultural work.

In addition, under the snow, there are many places buried with a kind of black ore, which can burn and generate heat. Its properties are similar to coal. The reserves are very large, which can fully meet the heating needs of greenhouses. The logging team does not have to risk being patrolled by humans. To avoid the risk of being killed by the team, they went south to cut down a large number of trees.

“Trees can’t grow above the snowy areas, so how can there be coal underground?”

This question came to Zhou Ming's mind.

You must know that the geological activities of Lingyuan Continent are not very active and do not have the conditions to form coal. For example, Wancheng Kingdom and Dongyuan Kingdom have not discovered the existence of coal mines in these two countries, which means that most of the trees have not yet entered the ground. Deep down, it has been decomposed by microorganisms.

This proves that coal mines are unlikely to exist elsewhere.

There are a large number of coal mines in snowy areas. What does this mean?

This illustrates at least two issues.

One, tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of years ago, this place was still very warm and there were a lot of cold-resistant trees. Later, due to the cold climate, ice and snow raged, and all the trees withered.

Second, due to the cover of ice and snow, ancient plants were incompletely decomposed by anaerobic microorganisms under the thick snow and turned into coal. This made the snowy area the only place in the entire continent where large amounts of coal resources could be buried. area.

This is a big deal!

With so much coal resources, the Snow Tribe can be said to have wings to take off. They will no longer be troubled by energy problems and can develop rapidly in any field.

"The sun is getting colder and the snow is moving south...I don't feel it obviously."

The Snow Saint was very surprised and a little excited about Zhou Ming's conclusion, but she didn't quite agree with it.

She has lived for millions of years, and in her impression the snowy area has always been this big, with no obvious southward movement, the twelve suns have not changed much, and the light has not weakened.

"Then it's probably related to the carbon dioxide in the air."

"In ancient times, there were sparse human settlements and widespread plants, which absorbed a large amount of carbon dioxide, causing the concentration of carbon dioxide to decrease, the temperature to drop, and the snow areas to move southward."

"After the snow is covered, the ice and snow reflect a large amount of sunlight, the heat received by the surface is reduced, the temperature drops again, and the snow continues to move southward..."

"In this way, there are a lot of coal resources above the snowy area."

Zhou Ming thought for a while and came to a conclusion that might be closer to the answer.

Because in the real world of the Earth, during the ice age, the sea areas near the equator even froze. This was due to the decrease in solar activity, but the Earth itself was not without any problems.

"What is carbon dioxide?"

The Snow Saint asked again. The human man in front of her always used new words one after another when talking to her, which aroused her strong curiosity.

"This is a substance in the air. It is also the main product released after coal is burned. It has a certain insulation effect and can also promote plant growth..."

Zhou Ming explained, and the Ice and Snow Saint nodded repeatedly, suddenly enlightened.

Zhou Ming, who discovered that there was a large amount of coal resources stored under the snow, had a new plan for the future development of the Snow Tribe.

The Snow tribe does not need to invade the human world or occupy the land in warm zones.

The Snowy Land is the place given by God to the Snow Tribe people to rise up.

First, the large amount of ice and snow materials in the snowy areas can open up countless "light-concentrating ice valleys" and build countless greenhouses.

Second, with a large amount of coal resources, we can promote industrialization in the snowy areas, set up large factories, and produce all the industrial products we need.

Three, after the industrial and agricultural foundations have been laid, it is not impossible to develop education for all, promote spiritual practice for all, and build a "Wancheng Kingdom" in the snowy land.

Finally, we will implement the "Psychic Industrial Revolution" to achieve a comprehensive transformation, and a snow empire on ice will be successfully created!

Zhou Ming made an estimate: It will take about 100 years to complete.

One hundred years is not a very long time for Zhou Ming.

but……

He came to the Snowy Region this time not to help the Snow Clan people build a "Snow Clan Empire", but to achieve a breakthrough in cultivation.

How is it possible to farm a field for a hundred years?

Now that the Snow Clan has become stronger, what are the obvious benefits to him?

After all, he is an outsider, a foreigner, and cannot fully integrate into the Snow Clan.

It is enough for him to help the Snow Clan escape from a relatively embarrassing living situation.

After the Snow Clan's feeding problem is solved, he will not use all his wisdom on other problems.

As for whether the Snow Clan will continue to go south and invade the human world, he will not stop it in his heart.

…

Five years later.

The vigorous agricultural production activities of the Snow Tribe have basically come to an end.

Although huge human and material costs have been incurred, the 50 million "light-concentrating ice valleys" and greenhouses with a total area of ​​nearly 5 billion acres can produce enough grain and vegetables every year to meet the needs of tens of billions of Snow people.

But compared to the vast snowy area, with a Snow tribe population of over 500 billion, it only solves the food problem for 10 billion people, which seems far from enough.

There are still 98% of the Snow people struggling to make ends meet.

In fact, with the mobilization ability of the top leaders of the Snow tribe, it is a quite remarkable achievement to solve the problem of feeding tens of billions of people in five years.

Moreover, the Snow people do not just eat food. All kinds of prey in the snowy areas are their staple food. Food and vegetables account for less than 20% of their daily diet at most.

In other words, these greenhouses can actually meet the needs of the 50 billion Snow people.

With the work efficiency of millions of professional construction teams, the additional 10 million "light-concentrating ice valleys" added every year will be able to meet the needs of 10 billion Snow people every year.

In at most fifty years, the Snow Clan can completely solve the problem of food shortage.

This efficiency, of course, seems relatively low in Zhou Ming's eyes.

But he didn't have a good solution. In the snowy area, the population density of the Snow tribe was too low and it was difficult to gather. Only when the "war horn" was sounded, all the tribes would desperately gather towards the temple and prepare to invade south.

The large-scale agricultural production activities in the past five years have mainly been carried out in the core area of ​​​​the Snow Tribe, including dozens of giant tribes, covering a population of about 10 billion.

In other words, in just five years, Zhou Ming solved the problem of food shortage in the core area.

There is even a large food surplus.

In the past five years, Zhou Ming has also felt deeply uncomfortable in the process of dealing with countless people from the Snow tribe.

irritable.

Extremely irritable.

The character of a Snow Clan man is like gunpowder, it explodes at the drop of a hat.

Even if we organize a work team of about 100 people, the strong men of the Snow tribe in the team will fight every day, and their heads will be broken every day.

If you organize a work team with more than 1,000 people, you will basically not be able to do any work. You will just watch the fights, from morning to night, from small fights between two or three people to group fights, without stopping for a moment.

If a work team with more than 10,000 people is organized, people will die every day. One or two deaths is normal, but seven or eight deaths is not a big deal. Only if dozens or hundreds of people die will someone take action to stop it.

Zhou Ming found this unbelievable, but the senior officials of the Snow Clan who were partnering with him did not take it seriously and took it for granted. Sometimes they even rolled up their sleeves and joined the battlefield.

Zhou Ming stopped him countless times, beat up countless people, killed a few in anger, formulated countless strict rules, and introduced a large number of reward systems, but... none of them worked.

Having a bad temper is not only a genetic problem among the Snow people, but also related to their eating habits. Zhou Ming ate the meat that the Snow people usually eat for a month and found that his temper also started to become grumpy.

It is impossible to ask the Snow people to change their eating habits. This is a tradition they have maintained for hundreds of millions of years.

But without solving the problem of impulsiveness and irritability among the Snow people, the rise of this race will undoubtedly be an illusion.

what to do?

Zhou Ming racked his brains.

Later, something solved his problem.

liquor.

The stronger the drink, the better.

Even as long as the bottle cap is opened and the aroma of wine is released, those snow tribesmen who are fighting will immediately stop when they smell it, sniffing sharply, and their eyes will become greedy.

As long as Zhou Ming asks: "Want to drink?" they will become extremely obedient.

In order to drink, they could control their hot tempers, work hard, and not fight for eight hours in a row.

Wine is so magical?

It is indeed so magical!

Zhou Ming made wine not on a whim, but because there was too much grain accumulated in the granary, and it would easily deteriorate and rot if stored for too long, so he set up a brewery, got some koji, and started brewing.

He would never forget the day when the ale came out of the vat. When he smelled the aroma of the wine, at least hundreds of thousands of Snow people gathered around the brewery, densely packed with longing in their eyes.

As several wine vats were opened, the aroma of wine overflowed. Even the soldiers of the Ice and Snow Legion who were responsible for setting up the defense line could not restrain themselves and turned around and rushed towards the wine vats!

"Boom, boom, boom~"

"Boom, boom, boom~"

In an earthquake-like stampede, the brewery was almost razed to the ground.

As for the hundreds of tanks of wine brewed, they were all eaten up by the Snow Tribe people without even going through the distillation process.

Afterwards, in the extremely messy scene, Zhou Ming saw at least a thousand strong men from the Snow tribe lying on the ground, with peaceful faces, flushed faces, and satisfied smiles on their lips...

Zhou Ming felt strange: "99.99% of the Snow people have never drank alcohol in their lives. How come they have such weak resistance to alcohol? It's even crazy?"

He didn't want to delve into the specific reasons. He had already figured out the lifeblood of the Snow Tribe people and knew how to deal with them.

From then on, Zhou Ming would always bring wine with him when dealing with various affairs of the Snow Clan.

And said a famous saying:

"When dealing with the Snow Tribe people, there is no problem that a bottle of wine cannot solve. If there is, then two bottles."

All the work and reforms launched by Zhou Ming have been successfully promoted!

It can be said that the emergence of wine laid a solid material foundation for the rise of the Snow Clan.
