Restart the Disaster of Another World

Before dawn the next day, Jing Yao had a simple breakfast and then escorted Wen Qun back to the Wen family. He carried a water bottle on his back and a backpack full of tools behind him. After getting ready, he embarked on this adventure.

All the way to the mountains, at first in the outer area, originally this should be a place where small animals frequently appear, but now there is almost no trace of them. Perhaps it is because the climate change is too rapid, causing many animals to leave because they cannot adapt to the environment, or they have already left quietly. After about half an hour of trekking, Jing Yao finally began to find some wild boar feces and other clues left by large prey.

The sun was rising, the morning light was faint, and the forest was quiet. There was no trace of human beings here, and the weeds grew wildly, and the height was higher than people's knees.

“Hiss, hiss—”

Suddenly, a slight sound was heard, and Jing Yao retreated quickly. He saw a green snake coming out of the grass, slithering flexibly, and then quickly got into the grass on the other side.

Jing Yao waited for a while and continued to move forward after confirming that it was safe. However, after walking a few steps, he encountered a group of monkeys again. They squeaked and happily swung the vines in their hands, passing over his head. At the same time, something fell down with a crackling sound, hitting Jing Yao right in front of him.

squeak-

squeak-

The monkeys' calls were full of energy and joy. Jing Yao looked up and found that several monkeys were dancing in front of him, as if expressing some kind of excitement.

Jing Yao felt a little relieved, at least these animals survived successfully. It was a pity that the fruits in the mountains were greatly reduced. If there were any extra, maybe he could look for the legendary monkey wine.

After a while, the group of monkeys passed by like a wave and quickly disappeared from Jing Yao's sight.

Jing Yao concentrated his energy, unleashed his powerful mental power, and carefully searched around for potential prey. At the same time, he also activated his unique plant-based abilities, hoping to find some rare medicinal herbs.

As we went deeper into the mountains, the surroundings became unusually quiet, with no other noticeable movement except for the occasional flapping of wings and the crisp chirping of birds returning to their nests. This wonderful atmosphere actually gave people an illusion of peace and tranquility.

Jing Yao traveled to many places. When it was late at night, he would just find a tree to climb up and sleep. He was not afraid of snakes or insects. He would kill any that dared to come.

However, his steps were not aimless. Not long after, he finally found what he had been looking for - the leaves of the camphor tree.

"Finally found it!" Jing Yao nodded with joy on his face, then looked around carefully. After making sure that the surrounding environment was safe, he started picking.

The leaf in front of him was long and narrow, with a protruding leaf bone in the middle and strip-shaped structures on both sides. It was exactly what Jing Yao had been dreaming of. Just put such a leaf on your head to effectively block the rain.

I saw that he moved skillfully and quickly, using his strength skillfully to gently break the leaf along the veins of the leaf.

The leaves of Cinnamomum camphora have an excellent effect in masking human odor, and the smell they emit is quite disgusting to most wild animals.

Although its name contains the word "fragrant", it actually has a slightly pungent smell, which is even more unbearable for wild animals whose sense of smell is far superior to that of humans.

He collected all the fruits from several large trees and dug up several small trees, preparing to take them back for transplanting.

It is already noon, which is faster than Jing Yao expected. He can return home tomorrow.

Jing Yao hunted two pheasants and picked some wild fruits, then walked to a stream in the forest, preparing to have lunch there.

He took out cooking utensils from the space, poured water into the chicken, scalded the skin, removed the hair, applied a little salt, and then stuffed the chicken's belly with spices and mushrooms freshly picked from the forest.

It is then wrapped in banana leaves, sealed with mud blocks on the outside, and thrown into a fire pit to bake. It only takes one incense stick of time to enjoy the delicious food.

While waiting for the chicken to be cooked, Jing Yao also looked around and saw only a few traces of animals left behind, but no sign of them.

After the meal, Jing Yao dug a hole to bury the leftovers and unburned branches, and then headed into the mountains.

He carried a few trees in a bamboo basket and went to collect firewood and mushrooms.

This vast expanse of land is full of long-cut wood piles. It looks like a group of trees were planted again after the felling. The original wood piles have long been buried deep in the ground and are rotten. Moreover, there are many fallen trees here, forming a mess. However, it is in such an environment that a variety of fungi can grow. If you are lucky enough, you may even find the precious Ganoderma lucidum!

As long as the humidity in the air reaches a certain level, these fungi will grow at an astonishing speed. Sometimes, two crops can grow in one day. In the afternoon, a new crop of fungi will emerge from the place where the fungi were just picked in the morning.

However, the variety of fungi growing here is dazzling, with a variety of colors. Some fungi are highly toxic, while others are non-toxic. For those who are not familiar with it, it is not easy to accurately identify their toxicity.

Normally, it is quite difficult to grow mushrooms under the current weather conditions. But Jing Yao has a special ability, he can make mushrooms grow at will. Before long, the ground is not only covered with various mushrooms, but also with rare treasures such as wood ear and white ear.

Jing Yao used his special ability to make the vines dance in the air like a pair of flexible tentacles. They seemed to have life, quickly shuttling between the trees, collecting all kinds of mountain delicacies in the forest and piling them up into a small hill.

Then, Jing Yao carefully sorted and collected these mountain delicacies and packed them, leaving only a part in the backpack. Looking at his harvest, Jing Yao smiled with satisfaction and then put away his supernatural power.

It was noon when Jing Yao returned home. He thought the house should be empty, but to his surprise, Wen Qun was there. Not only that, he was accompanied by two children. When the twins saw Jing Yao coming home, they were very excited.

Now, the twins have grown up a lot and no longer yell as casually as they did in the past. Instead, they saluted Jing Yao very politely and said in unison: "Hello, second brother-in-law!"

Looking at the well-behaved and sensible twins in front of him, Jing Yao couldn't help but feel a little soft in his heart. Although he was a little disgusted with the two children at first, as time went by, through the careful education of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, he now found that the children were actually very cute.

So he gently touched their heads, then took out some wild fruits he had picked on the mountain and handed them to them, saying, "Wash them before eating."

The twins happily took the wild fruits wrapped in leaves and said thank you in unison: "Thank you, Goff!" Then they ran happily to wash the fruits.

Wen Qun was fetching water in the backyard. When he saw Jing Yao coming back, he quickly brought the water to him and said, "Ayao, drink some water!"

Jing Yao took the water and drank it all, then asked, "Why are you back?"

Wen Qun smiled and said, "You have to come back today."

Jing Yao was dirty, so he didn't hug him, but held his hand and asked, "Have you eaten?"

Wen Qun shook his head gently, and Jing Yao then took out some items from the backpack and handed them to Wen Qun. They were all wild fruits that he liked to eat.

Jing Yao took out all the remaining things. Although the backpack was small, there were quite a lot of things in it. It seemed like he could never take them all out, which made the twins stunned.

After cleaning the mushrooms he picked and brought home, Wen Qun used them to cook a mushroom soup and sprinkled some fresh green onions on them as garnish.

Since there was no meat for lunch, Wen Qun prepared a cold noodle dish. He rolled the noodles himself, and although the thickness was uneven, the cucumber was fresh and crisp, the bean sprouts were juicy, and the seasoning was just right, making the whole dish taste delicious.

Then the whole family sat around the dining table again, with the bowl of sour and spicy cold noodles and the delicious mushroom soup in front of them. The mushrooms of different types and sizes tasted different, but all of them were delicious. Wen Qun and the twins had a great appetite and enjoyed the cold noodles and mushroom soup one bowl after another.

Jing Yao also drank several big bowls of mushroom soup and ate a full bowl of cold noodles. The spiciness made him sweat profusely.

As night fell, the four returned to the Wen family. Jing Yao was once again pulled into the study by Wen Xing. The two seemed a little mysterious, but Wen's mother did not have too many doubts.

The atmosphere this time was completely different from the last time. Jing Yao was about to go out, and although Wen's mother did not say it explicitly, she was worried that Wen Qun would have wild thoughts, so she was very concerned about Jing Yao's safety.

Now that Jing Yao has returned safely, everyone is very happy. Wen Qun also smiled happily when playing with the twins.

Wen Xing revealed two pieces of news to Jing Yao: the county government has released a plan for planting high-yield varieties, and each household needs to set aside at least three to five mu of land for planting this high-yield variety. If you want to plant more, you can buy seeds from the government, the price is quite affordable, but each household must ensure that there is three mu of land for planting food.

Such mandatory regulations have puzzled some people, who fear that they will get nothing in return after planting this high-yield crop.

However, the weather is abnormally hot now and rice cannot be planted. It is known that this high-yield grain is not only heat-resistant but also has a high yield, with an output of several thousand kilograms per mu.

People rushed to the government office to buy seeds, and the supply was insufficient for a while. There was no choice but to follow Jing Yao's example and implement a purchase restriction policy. In this way, ordinary people had the opportunity to buy seeds.

Recently, the village has been very lively, and the villagers are busy sowing. Although time is a little tight, as long as the seeds are planted, the fire of hope will be ignited in everyone's hearts.

Secondly, the situation at the border was becoming increasingly severe. In the past, the enemy would come to provoke us every three or five days; now, there were people challenging us at the gate of Pingyang Pass every day, but they did not launch an attack.

However, things were far from being as simple as they seemed, and it was unknown what the enemy was up to. The situation was becoming increasingly critical, and Wen Xing was worried all day, fearing that the enemy would suddenly launch an attack.

Wen Xing sighed and said, "I have written to your elder brother, asking him to come back. But he didn't mention this in his reply. Sigh, the child has grown up and it is really hard to control him!"

Jing Yao knew Wen Yu's personality very well. He would never stand idly by if he saw such a situation. So he could only comfort him with kind words: "Brother always knows the priorities of things and will never take risks."

Wen Xing sighed, "I understand, but I'm still worried! Your mother doesn't know about it, and I dare not show any worry in front of her, so I can only keep it to myself. I can't even find someone to talk to, so now I can only chat with you. When I go out, I have to pretend that nothing happened."

Last time, Jing Yao asked Xiao Ling and others to bring Wen Yu a letter, some food and weapons, and some drawings he drew himself. These drawings depict several advanced war weapons, including several crossbows and several artillery platforms, which will be able to play a huge role in the war. These were all copied from the books in the space. Due to time constraints, he only drew detailed drawings and the materials and steps required for production. As for whether it can be successfully manufactured, he firmly believes that there must be many capable people in the army who will definitely be able to overcome this problem.

The atmosphere in the border general's study was tense and serious.

Wen Yu gently lifted the curtain on the table, revealing the blueprint he had carefully drawn in the past few days. He took a deep breath, then stood straight in the middle of the study. He waited quietly until General Zhao Zhide, Deputy General Li Cheng, and Military Advisor Wang Lang sat down, and then he spoke.

Everyone's eyes were like torches, staring intently at the drawings in Wen Yu's hands, as if there were endless secrets and strategies hidden therein.

Wen Yu cleared his throat, his voice low and firm: "This is the design drawing of the crossbow. Its structure looks simple, but it actually contains mysteries. The bottom is an extremely solid base, and the left and right sides are powerful crossbow arms. The core part connecting the crossbow arms and the base is two sets of exquisite spring groups. This is the uniqueness of this crossbow. Unlike ordinary crossbows, these two spring groups are made of two bundles of tensioned horsehair or leather ropes. The principle is torsion spring. We need to find a few skilled carpenters and make them with all their strength. It will take no more than ten days to complete such a crossbow. Place it on the city wall, and its range can reach 400 meters. It can be said to be a weapon for defending the city and can kill the enemy to the maximum extent."

As he spoke, he pointed to various parts on the blueprint and explained in detail the working principle and advantages of the crossbow. His eyes were full of confidence and enthusiasm, as if he had already seen the crossbow showing its power on the battlefield.
