I was reborn after playing a good hand badly

The ashes she burned during this pest control operation were collected by various parties. Su Mo originally thought that they might be needed for some experiments, but it turned out to be related to planting.

Now that I think about it, Xia Country had obtained the Zerg ashes many years ago, and must have conducted similar experiments long ago and knew the use of the ashes, otherwise it would not be so active.

When the first insect plague hit Xia Country, there were only four mother nests.

Before they had the chance to grow and develop, they were burned to ashes by Su Mo. By that time, the ashes must have entered various experimental groups.

However, since this function of the Zerg Ashes has been known for a long time, why hasn't the Xia Kingdom found an opportunity to use fire attacks in all these years?

The ashes obtained by the four mother nests back then were not many. It was more than enough for experiments, but it was definitely not enough to use after getting the results.

Why didn't they create an opportunity to burn it themselves?

Although if Xia Guo wanted to attack the Zerg with fire, the weapons it used would definitely not be as well controlled as Su Mo's fireball technique, there was still room for maneuver.

Most of the buildings in the ruins of the city have been destroyed by the Zerg and are no longer usable. It probably wouldn't matter if a place like that was affected by the fire, right?

But the result was no.

Su Mo knew that Xia Country was not incapable of burning the Zerg, so why not?

Now, both the association and the military are collecting ashes on a large scale, and it has also encouraged hunting teams across the country to actively collect them. The ashes hidden in every corner that have not been collected are the targets of the hunting teams.

Less than half a year has passed since the pest control operation began, and the association and the military have reaped great rewards from this resource.

They clearly need this resource.

Su Mo thought of Wu Shun who had been selling food ingredients for many years. It was said that his company had always been the best in Xia Country and had supplied a lot of goods to various official departments.

However, Wu Shun had no Zerg ashes to use.

I don’t understand, so Su Mo doesn’t worry about it anymore. He will just ask directly when he has time.

Anyway, now there is another person who is collecting Zerg ashes, Su Mo.

Before learning that ashes could be used as fertilizer, Su Mo did not get involved in this matter. At most, he collected some insect corpses and stored them as food reserves for the reptile cubs.

Now that she knew its purpose, she started to take action.

The small tower in this life has consumed a lot of secret realms, and its energy is replenished quickly. The fields in the space have been expanded several times and can now be described as vast, very big!

Although the fields that are actually used are only the part around the central area and the small experimental area at the foot of the mountain where the reptiles live, less than one percent of the space fields are used in total.

But even though the fields are empty, fertilizing them cannot be delayed.

The ashes collected by Su Mo were spread out on the fields. She wanted to fertilize all the fields in the space, and after completion, she had to save some for backup.

After all, after the pest control operation is over, there will be no more Zerg on the blue planet, and it will be difficult to purchase such good fertilizers at that time.

Su Mo has now started his second experiment.

She wanted to verify whether Zerg Ashes could also optimize the growth of spiritual fruits and vegetables.

If there really is one, then she could consider choosing another hill in the space, isolating it and specifically raising a few mother nests.

Su Mo was not in a hurry until the experimental results came out.

After all, there are still most places on Blue Star that Su Mo has not visited, and there are many mother nests.

During this period, the big black ball gave birth in the space very smoothly. It stayed alone, and after a few days of gestation, it successfully laid 392 insect eggs.

Each insect egg is plump and shiny. Although there are more eggs, the quality is not inferior to the last batch.

After the big black ball was sent back to the space, although Su Mo did not go in to accompany it, he also often paid attention to the situation.

She knew about the birth of Big Black Ball the moment it was over, and after it was over, Su Mo immediately sent medicine to help Big Black Ball recover.

Although it can recover quickly on its own, the big black ball feels the care of its owner and wants to stay close to its owner again.

Su Mo: "..."

Compared with Su Mo and the big black ball, Baibai doesn't stand out.

Because of Bai Bai's own training progress and experience needs, she controls the frequency of her going out to fight by herself. Su Mo does not interfere. Fierce beasts like the Winged Wolves have their own training methods. She knows nothing about it, and Su Mo will not give her random instructions under the banner of doing good for her.

She only provided help where Baibai needed it. For example, when Baibai was trying to reach the peak of foundation building, Su Mo provided a batch of cold pond silverfish as an aid. This not only satisfied Baibai's appetite, but the efficacy of the cold pond silverfish also helped Baibai reach the peak of foundation building smoothly.

This was also due to Bai Bai's previous retreat, which allowed her to upgrade continuously in a short period of time. Now she just had to wait for the opportunity to form a pill.

Anyway, Su Mo has already handed the Dust-Reducing Pill to Bai Bai.

Apart from occasionally coming out to fight the Zerg, Baibai spends most of his time in the space, consolidating his foundation-building realm and waiting for the formation of the elixir.

The only thing that made Su Mo depressed was that Yuan Qi had been in seclusion for almost half a year. Yes, since Su Mo started the pest control operation, Yuan Qi had gone into seclusion in the Teaching Tower, and there had been no news until now.

No one knew what he was researching, but Su Mo didn't reply to any of the messages he sent to the other party.

Except for the practice room where Yuan Qi was in seclusion, the teaching tower was now very lively.

Su Mo went back halfway and completed the contracts for the second batch of classrooms.

This time she did not take the initiative to send the notice, but because Xia Guo had already learned about the various functions of the Teaching Tower and organized leading talents from all aspects to apply for jobs at the college.

With Su Mo's permission, Xu Li recruited a group of new professional teachers through the college's recruitment process.

Knowing that the other party was coming for the Teaching Tower, Su Mo went back and contracted another group.

They wanted to use the function of the teaching tower to do their own things, and Su Mo didn't mind as long as they didn't refuse to teach on campus.

Anyway, all the courses and experiments they conduct in the tower will be recorded by the tower spirit.

These teachers are leaders in their professional fields. The corresponding courses they offer after joining the company are all elective courses, and any interested students can choose them on their own.

Xu Li and other college leaders were initially worried that these people would become passive and lazy due to impure motives and would neglect the teaching responsibilities that teachers should be responsible for.

But it didn't happen.

If you want to use the functions of the teaching tower, you need to spend spirit stones everywhere. If you don't teach seriously, you won't be able to sell the course if the students don't like it.

Where do the spirit stones come from? Should I ask the authorities for them?

It is already good enough that the authorities can send them in, and naturally there will be no unlimited investment. After all, although Xia Country has a lot of official resources, there are more aspects that need to be taken care of.

So what Xu Li and the others were worried about did not happen. Whether they were old employees or new employees, everyone was very dedicated in teaching.

At least you can't let your courses go unnoticed and unsold.

······

Country N.

Su Mo has been in Country N for four days, and she has already cleaned out the mother nest in the country.

Big Black Ball, who gave birth more than a month ago and had a good rest, has now returned to the team and is continuing her journey.

On the reptile mountain in the space, nearly 400 insect eggs have hatched. They are now enjoying the food prepared by Su Mo and are growing rapidly.

Sitting in the living room on the flying boat deck, Su Mo took a rest for a while.

Baibai and I are drinking juice.

"Momo, are you going back?" Baibai asked.

Sometimes she would go to the reptile hill to take a look in the space, and she was very clear about the condition of the reptile cubs. This batch of cubs had grown to the state that Su Mo delivered last time, so she asked this question.

"Almost. We have finished dealing with the border area around Xia Country. It won't cause any trouble if we go back." Su Mo replied.

She started from Country S, which borders the northeast corner of Xia Country, and swept all the way to Country N outside Yunnei Province, and indeed completed a circle.

All the major cities under the management of the United Alliance were in action.

Hunting teams joined the pest control operation one after another, making the atmosphere that had been dead for several years lively again.

"Then next time we go out, we'll have to go somewhere farther." Bai Bai held the straight cup that was half the length of her body and took a big sip of the juice with fruit pulp.

"The association gave me advice and asked me to go to Country H and Country R first."

"It is said that there are no survivors over there, and most areas are still filled with poisonous gas. Tsk." Su Mo indifferently recounted the information provided by the association.

She traveled through many countries on this trip and found survivors hiding in corners. She ignored these people and just reported them truthfully.

The Xia country officials said that they are now focusing on the pest control operation and have no time and energy to consider other things. Their attitude is very clear.

However, differences arose within the United Alliance.

Some people believe that those poor people were a step slow at the beginning and were unable to join the main force. They have been struggling to survive in the wild for all these years. It is pitiful enough that they can survive. A rescue team should be sent to take them back to the big city for resettlement and assistance.

But most people disagree.

Think about it, how did people survive such harsh conditions in the wild? How did they do it? Surrounded by Zerg, with no supplies or food, how did they survive?

Compared with those who have food and drink, it is indeed pitiful.

But when officials from various countries chose to flee, they called on everyone to follow.

Are the current survivors in the wild those who were left behind because they were not notified, or those who did not dare to follow the main group in the long-distance migration?

But no matter what the reason is, it is now difficult for them to integrate into normal society.

They are unwilling to bring them back if they become a destabilizing factor, but they also have no objection to sending some supplies out regularly for humanitarian aid.

Bai Bai: "Then you will definitely follow the route arranged by the association?"

"Well, it doesn't matter to me where we go first or later." Su Mo had decided on the direction of his next actions.

"Then when are we going back? We've finished our work in Country N, right?"

"Tomorrow." Su Mo put down the empty cup.

After the 392 cubs were handed over to the military, more than half of the order was completed and it would be completed soon.

The moon, twenty kilometers outside the main gate of Laurel City.

In an area that originally had no plans, a temporary base has now been established.

There are transport trucks constantly going back and forth between here and Laurel City. The trucks are carrying construction materials, which are piled up in an orderly manner. It is obvious that they are going to build a fixed stronghold here.

Why do this suddenly?

Turning his gaze to the largest room in the temporary base, the nearly ten-meter-high entrance to the secret realm was enclosed inside!

This is a secret passage that has recently appeared.

"Minister Deng, why did you come here in person?" The association employee who was guarding the temporary base walked quickly to the loading and unloading truck.

There are several employees guarding here. Their task is not only to guard the secret passage, but also to send news from here to the Laurel City branch several times a day.

Logically speaking, branch director Deng Ye doesn't need to come in person.

But he came along with the transport vehicles, and the guarding employees all came over to find out what was going on.

"Let's go in first." Deng Ye said as he walked and led the way into the temporary base.

Inside the lobby of the temporary base.

"It's been five days since the third rescue team went in, and there's still no news from the secret realm." A guarding employee reported truthfully.

"Yeah." Deng Ye, who had already taken off his protective suit, looked at the tall entrance in front of him.

This new passage has already swallowed up more than 300 people.

No one has come out yet, and they know nothing about the situation on the other side of the passage, which makes Deng Ye very anxious.

The association has not encountered such a situation for many years.

Deng Ye, the director of the Laurel City branch, cannot escape blame. Under his management, he failed to detect the psychic fluctuations in advance, which led to the opening of this secret realm and its being witnessed by many passers-by.

This passage has been around for almost two months.

Because the location was very close to Laurel City and the association had not isolated the area with abnormal psychic fluctuations in advance, many people witnessed the entire process of the entrance opening.

This can be said to be a very rare opportunity.

The association has a clear rule: any secret realm discovered must be reported to the association, but the first person to discover a new secret realm has the right to explore it first for three days (the three-day priority is just a rule; if it is discovered privately, this will not be a problem. It is just an explanation for those who submit the secret realm).

Now that it has been publicly discovered, even if it only lasts for three days, it is the first opportunity to explore a completely new secret realm.

Needless to say, it is free. This is the most primitive state of the secret realm, and it is also the easiest time to get good things.

Deng Ye, who rushed over, had already ordered people to isolate the place, and only the first group of people present could enter the isolation area.

He said to the crowd gathered outside the entrance, "Please calm down and don't just think about the benefits. A new secret realm that hasn't been inspected is very dangerous. Why not wait for the association to send someone in first? After thoroughly inspecting it, they can determine the difficulty level of the secret realm and then decide whether to enter it?"

"Everyone has one free exploration opportunity. We will record this so you can use it later."

Everyone was talking about it.
