Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 573 Incubation (additional update if monthly tickets accumulate )

With the completion of the brick-burning factory, Zhou Xu immediately summoned all the confirmed brick-burning workers and asked them to prepare to start work.

During the construction of the brick-burning factory, they have confirmed the raw materials here and performed some preliminary processing of the raw materials.

Now that the brick-burning factory is completed, they can start work immediately.

After closing the document in front of him, Zhou Xu, whose work had come to an end for the time being, couldn't help but slump on the metal seat of the temple.

"So hot."

The season has now reached midsummer, and it is actually quite cool inside the temple. It is even hotter outside, but this still cannot change the fact that Zhou Xu is smoking hot at the moment.

There was no need for him to say anything during this period. The attendant next to him quickly poured him a cup of herbal tea and handed it over.

"Your Majesty, drink tea."

After taking the tea cup, Zhou Xu drank it all in one gulp. This summer, he really relied on herbal tea to survive.

After coming to the tropical rainforest, I discovered the leaves of many plants, improved and upgraded the herbal tea formula, and added new ingredients such as mint leaves to make the taste more refreshing.

After drinking the herbal tea, Zhou Xu regained his energy and devoted himself to the work in front of him.

At this moment, Bo Levin rushed over with a happy face.

After this period of time, Bo Levin lost a lot of weight, and even his movements became more agile. Now he can trot all the way.

"Your Majesty, the eggs in the sacred incubation pool have begun to hatch."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xu's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Go and have a look."

Long before, he had asked Bollevin about when the eggs in the sacred incubation pool would hatch.

Bo Levin estimated the time and told him that the earliest batch should be this month.

However, due to the passage of time, this matter was temporarily forgotten by Zhou Xu.

Now that he got the exact news, Zhou Xu didn't hesitate and immediately set off for the sacred incubation pool!

As he walked out of the hall, needless to say, four elf knights led by Silk immediately followed him.

Apparently they have also finished their vacation and returned to work, and now they have become knights of their king's personal guard.

The main task is basically to follow their king every step of the way and ensure the safety of their king.

During this period, the attendant followed him and took a peek from time to time.

At first, he was still wondering why their king suddenly sent out a personal army.

Now looking at their king striding in front, followed by four elf knights, it is really majestic!

But thanks to their king, who has a face that doesn’t look out of place even among a group of elves. If he were an ordinary human man, how could he let the elf knight follow him as a guard?

While the attendants were thinking wildly, Zhou Xu and the others had already arrived at the side hall with the sacred incubation pool.

Zhou Xu, who had been here before, was familiar with the situation.

I don’t know if it’s because of the special effects of the Sacred Incubation Pool, but even in the middle of summer, there is no peculiar smell caused by the excessive heat.

At the same time, Zhou Xu was also pretty lucky. When he walked in, he happened to see a small beast stretching out its hand from the cracked eggshell within his line of sight.

With a simple tearing action, the eggshell covering its body was quickly broken, and then a lizard man the size of a baby crawled out and fell into the pool.

Zhou Xu's heart skipped a beat when he saw this scene.

"Isn't that okay?"

"Your Majesty, please rest assured. For newborn lizardmen, soaking in the water of this sacred incubation pool can improve their physical fitness and allow them to adapt to the outside environment faster."

Having said this, Bollevin's voice paused.

"They only have this chance in their lifetime, and they won't have to take another chance if they want to."

"..."      In any case, just know that they are fine.

Looking around, there are already many newly hatched lizardmen soaking in it. They do not look in pain, but rather feel a sense of comfort.

"Approximately how many can be hatched in this wave?"

"There should be four to five hundred."

Bolevin estimated a number.

Under this premise, Zhou Xu undoubtedly had new questions in his mind surrounding these lizard-man babies.

"Then what will happen to these children? Will their parents come to take them back? But the question is, how can their parents tell them apart?"

Faced with this question, Bolevin shook his head.

"No need, they will be fed uniformly next."

Zhou Xu was stunned when he heard this.

Probably seeing Zhou Xu's doubts, Bo Levin made a "please" gesture.

"Your Majesty, please come with me."

While talking, Bo Levin led them out of the side hall and to another location.

Different from the previous incubation room, as soon as he opened the room here, he smelled an obvious smell. The smell made him feel a little uncomfortable. His instinct was telling him that there was probably nothing good inside.

This was indeed the case. The next second, the sight that greeted his eyes made him feel obviously uncomfortable.

I saw that what was kept in that house was actually a large and densely packed body of flesh insects!

"Ah, don't tell me they eat these?"

Although this was a question, Zhou Xu undoubtedly knew the answer at this moment.

"Yes."

Bolevin nodded.

"To be precise, they eat the white ones, which are very clean and rich in nutrients. The ones next to them that have turned yellow or even black are overgrown, and the surface of their bodies has hardened and grown carapace."

"..."

In fact, aside from the physical discomfort, Zhou Xu did not doubt Bo Levin's words.

Those chubby white meat bugs, with their heads pinched off, probably don’t have six times the protein of beef.

To put it bluntly, he also ate bugs and mice for quite a while when he first traveled through time.

But what he didn't expect was that on the lizard people's side, these turned out to be 'baby food'.

According to Zhou Xu's idea, the newborn baby should be breastfeeding.

But then he thought about it and realized that the lizard people didn't seem to be mammals.

Those lizardman babies have probably completed their most basic growth and development while still in the egg.

So after hatching and adapting to the environment, they can start eating immediately.

Putting aside external factors, from the perspective of nutritional value alone, these white meat worms are probably impeccable high-protein nutritious food.

In addition, some insects have always been part of the lizard people's food to supplement the nutrients their bodies need...
