Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 779: Training and a Diamond as Big as a Football

After Chu Xiangqian lamented that this group of giant apes might become a truly intelligent race in the future, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Fortunately, if you think about it carefully, unless there is a large-scale, irresistible natural disaster in the real world that causes large-scale global extinction.

Otherwise, based on the number of human populations and the level of civilization.

Even if the giant apes become a truly intelligent species, it would take at least one or two hundred years for their population to increase rapidly from 40 or so to tens of thousands.

After all, using gorillas as an example, it takes 10 to 12 years to reach maturity.

It will be even more difficult to pose a threat to humans, or even basically zero.

Moreover, once discovered by humans, these giant apes will never form large groups. Most of them will be kept in captivity, or even their population size will be strictly controlled.

Even if they could gain recognition from humans in the future and be treated equally as intelligent races, it might be three to five hundred years later.

At the same time, there is a slight equality, and there is a 99% probability that it is just talk.

It is not known whether Chu Xiangqian can live that long for three to five hundred years, so naturally he will treat these giant apes in whatever manner is beneficial to him.

As for letting the giant apes run free in Middle-earth, Chu Xiangqian was 100% sure that it would take a longer time for the giant apes to develop.

Once they lost the protection of Stromgarde, these great apes either fled away from the elves, dwarves, orcs, or humans.

Otherwise, there is a high probability that they will be recruited by the elves or dwarves and become vassals of the two races.

Or become a new tribe of orcs.

If you enter the human territory of Middle-earth, you will definitely become the target of hunting.

After all, there is still a big gap between the giant ape that has not been upgraded and the well-equipped dwarf.

If we were to fight the elves, we would definitely lose even more miserably.

The elves' bows and arrows alone were enough to cause heavy casualties before the giant ape even got close.

Once the elite elf team uses the kite-flying tactic, it is not difficult to wipe them out without any injuries.

Thinking of this, Chu Xiangqian immediately no longer cared about how the giant ape would develop in the future.

Anyway, there are dragons in Middle-earth, so not many people would care if a group of giant apes appeared.

And as long as he didn't die, he could bring the elite of the giant ape tribe into the novice village and forcibly recapture it.

We can even learn from the ancient dynasties of China. Once the population of a vassal becomes large, they will conscript them into the army and fight in large numbers.

There is never a shortage of enemies in Middle-earth. The orcs and orcs alone are enough to make Chu Xiangqian think only about how to expand his army for many years, instead of thinking about how to limit the development of the giant apes.

He even hoped that the population of giant apes would grow from forty or so to several hundred in a short period of time.

As for the deaths, how to comfort them after the war is actually easier.

Land will be given, but the quantity will be limited.

Once the population of giant apes increases, they themselves might actively respond to the war, hoping to obtain food and other daily necessities through military exploits.
-
Chu Xiangqian made a few leaps and easily covered a distance of more than 20 meters and arrived at the island in the middle of the lake. When more than 20 adult giant apes saw Chu Xiangqian, they immediately stood up and prostrated themselves on the ground, showing their submission.

As for the dozen or so little giant apes, because they were not taken as pets by Chu Xiangqian, they looked at Chu Xiangqian with some fear on their faces.

However, the adults were all crawling on the ground, and no matter how frightened the little giant ape was, he knew what he should do.

In addition to the tigers that had just been refreshed on the island in the middle of the lake, there were also some half-grown giant apes that were practicing fighting.

The other little giant apes all knelt on the ground, but occasionally a few of them would curiously look up and secretly glance at Chu Xiangqian.

Chu Xiangqian was very satisfied with the giant apes' reaction. He held them up and said a few words, motioning them to stand up.

Then I joined in watching the game.

It’s no wonder that these half-grown giant apes are quite powerful.

At least Chu Xiangqian believed that even for dwarves, it would be difficult to defeat these young giant apes with bare hands without armor and weapons.

Although the tiger had obviously been taught a lesson by an adult giant ape before entering the Novice Village, even though the tiger was injured, it was basically just being played with by several half-grown giant apes.

If a tiger puts a young giant ape in danger, the adult giant apes standing nearby will pounce on it and knock the tiger away.

And although the agility of adult giant apes is not very high, the half-grown giant apes, while lacking in strength, are actually more agile.

By rolling and dodging, you can always avoid the tiger's attack.

Once a tiger attacks a small ape, the other small apes will attack and harass the tiger from behind.

Chu Xiangqian only watched for a minute or two and knew that this tiger must have been fooled many times by the giant apes.

Maybe since it was refreshed at 12 o'clock last night, it has been used as a practice opponent by the giant apes to train the fighting ability of the half-grown giant ape.

Otherwise, these little giant apes would not be able to cooperate so skillfully.

Chu Xiangqian was not only secretly happy in his heart, he also wished that the little giant ape would have the ability to fight against the tiger on the island in the middle of the lake.

Otherwise, the tigers that appear every day will cause casualties to the giant ape tribe.

Another four or five minutes later, several little giant apes worked together to knock down the tiger and firmly controlled it. Chu Xiangqian couldn't help but applaud in praise.

Then he had an idea and took out a barrel of dwarven beer from his storage compartment and threw it to the four adult giant apes.

He indicated that the reward should be given to the half-grown young giant apes.

Few people like alcohol when they drink it for the first time.

But after drinking more often, many people do like the feeling of being tipsy or drunk.

Otherwise there wouldn’t be so many alcoholics in this world.

Chu stepped forward, reached out and grabbed the restrained tiger's neck and twisted it hard.

With a snap, the tiger instantly turned into experience and a corpse.

Then the barrel of beer became the target of competition among four adult giant apes and four young giant apes.

After drinking, the eight giant apes still looked at Chu Xiangqian eagerly, which made Chu Xiangqian laugh and scold them.

It’s clear at a glance that all the giant apes will be alcoholics in the future.

But this is a good thing for Chu Xiangqian. Not only can the wine serve as a reward, but it can also help him recover the gold coins rewarded for their military achievements from them.

To put it bluntly, wine has always been a luxury item since its discovery to its spontaneous brewing.

After all, luxury goods make basically no contribution to the development of ethnic groups.
-
After throwing another barrel of beer to the eight giant apes, Chu Xiangqian finally turned his attention to the dead tiger.

In the past, Chu Xiangqian would place some iron cages on the island in the middle of the lake to imprison the black tigers, blue tigers or white tigers that would be refreshed at the end of each month.

Unfortunately, after a few years, not many people are interested in buying these mutant tigers. Of course, Chu Xiangqian doesn't want to sell too many of these mutants. After all, white tigers are rare, and the probability of tigers mutating into black tigers or blue tigers is even smaller.

This is different from horse racing. There are already large populations of purebred horses and Arabian horses, and even if there are fewer Arabian horses, there are still thousands of them in the world.

So every few years, when a champion horse appears, the outside world will only think that Chu Xiangqian has good vision, rather than suspecting that he has the ability to specifically breed mutant tigers.

After Chu Xiangqian held four auctions, many people felt that there must be ethnic groups in those Central Asian countries that were unknown to the outside world.

Even the Red Polar Bear, I heard, had been counting the population and number of Arabian horses in its own member states since the year before last.

You know what, I found quite a few.

After the third Arabian horse was auctioned for $80 each, Red Polar Bear began to release a set of data to the public.

According to them, there are at least two thousand purebred Arabian horses in the polar bear territory.

There are more than 1 hybrid descendants of the Arabian horse.

Chu Xiangqian scoffed at the data, saying that some data were just for listening.

Moreover, genetic technology has only appeared for a few years in this era. If you just look at the appearance, some mixed-blood descendants of the Arabian horse look no different from purebred Arabian horses.

But if you say there are hundreds of purebred Arabian horses, Chu Xiangqian still believes it.

Of course, even if there really were 2 horses, the impact on Chu Xiangqian would actually be very small.

This is the effect of branding.

Moreover, Europe and the United States have always boycotted and slandered anything related to the red polar bear.

Even if it is a pure polar bear horse, it will definitely be said to be of impure bloodline.

Just like the polar bear, the number, output and quality of Siberian diamond mines are no worse than those of South African diamonds, but they cannot be sold at a good price worldwide.

To put it bluntly, the right to speak is in the hands of Europe and the United States. At the same time, suppressing Soviet diamonds is also to maintain the prices and brands of European and American diamonds.

When it comes to interests, of course, the Black Soviet Union Diamond is at stake.
-
After using the gathering technique to separate the tiger into tiger skin, tiger bones, tiger whip and tiger meat, Chu Xiangqian rode on Red Hare and started to kill monsters with 22 adult giant apes, two hunting dogs, tits and martens.

With 22 free fighters, the monster spawning speed is increased several times.

Moreover, even with 22 more giant apes, the amount of experience Chu Xiangqian gained did not decrease. Now, killing monsters for him was no different from going on a picnic.

By the way, various materials were also collected.

However, after entering the orc map, Chu Xiangqian still had to suppress the orc arrow tower with bows and magic.

When the giant ape carries a huge wooden shield and attracts the attacks of the orc archers, casualties are inevitable.

But this mode can be regarded as fighting to support fighting, which can train the giant ape's offensive and defensive capabilities.

As long as it is not killed on the spot, with blood bottles and healing spells, the seriously injured giant ape can be saved.

After suffering losses, the giant apes will be more careful when joining the attack team again. In the future, when they appear on the battlefield, they will not only have more experience but also have a higher survival rate.

Chu Xiangqian believed that in just two or three months, these 22 giant apes would definitely become veterans.

It is normal to become elite after a year or two.

After all, no other army can fight the same life-and-death battles with orcs, wargs, orc lords, temple guards, and fireball-wielding priests that the giant apes do every day.

Wait until Chu Xiangqian uses the flame storm outside the temple to cover the temple archers on the temple wall, and then uses entanglement to trap the priest.

After using healing magic to save several giant apes that were injured because they rushed too fast, the 22 giant apes looked at Chu Xiangqian with even more loyalty and fanaticism.

Moreover, when besieging the orc lord, as the days passed, Chu Xiangqian became more and more adept at commanding the giant apes.

Even some complex tactics can be gradually understood and implemented.
-
After clearing the wild, Chu Xiangqian did not bring the giant ape into the temple.

The giant apes naturally didn't know that there was a valley behind the temple that led to Stromgarde.

Moreover, Chu Xiangqian also ordered these giant apes not to enter the orc map without his orders.

In case you haven't been to the Novice Village for a few days, you can go to the woods of the Novice Village to collect bread, fruits and sprouts by yourself.

After killing the monsters, Chu Xiangqian brought the giant ape back to the Novice Village and took out enough food for them to last for a few days, which he stored in the newly built wooden warehouse on the island in the middle of the lake.

Moreover, Chu Xiangqian tried to build a stable and connected it to the warehouse. As Chu Xiangqian had guessed, the stable could not only automatically refresh clean water and hay.

Even the breadfruit and various fruits stored in the warehouse can be automatically refreshed in each small room every day.

An adult giant ape eats 5 breadfruits and 5 kg of fruit every day, plus 15 kg of young sprouts, which means it eats 50 kg of food every day.

Chu Xiangqian immediately sighed that these guys are really foodies, but think about it, gorillas have to eat 25 to 30 kilograms of plant sprouts, bamboo shoots, banana stems, wild fruits, etc. every day.

Given the weight and height of these giant apes, it is normal for them to eat 50 kilograms.

Of course, the little giant ape's food was halved.

When Chu Xiangqian tried to provide each giant ape with 5 kilograms of shark meat every day, he soon discovered that these giant apes had less demand for plant-based food.

It is also more resistant to hunger and the time spent on eating is also decreasing.

As for hygiene issues, Chu Xiangqian never worried about it and would refresh it at 12 a.m. every day.

Otherwise, if the Novice Village had been home to Chi Tu's family, Da Zhuang and Hong Niu, it would have already become smelly.
-
Time went back to the second day after the giant ape was tamed. After Chu Xiangqian had finished killing the giant apes, he appeared in the temple of the real world with 22 tamed giant apes.

After a few instructions, 22 giant apes entered the volcanic cave below the temple and began looking for those shiny stones.

As for why their master liked these useless things, the giant apes just thought that Chu Xiangqian was just like them, treating these things as childhood toys.

Soon, not far from Chu Xiangqian, who was standing under a mural in the temple, looking for the history of the temple, there were at least hundreds of diamonds, some as big as walnuts.

The largest one was as big as a football, and Chu Xiangqian's heart beat faster when he saw it.

And it is obvious at a glance that this super-giant diamond has been a toy of giant apes for many years, and some of its corners have been worn.

Although diamonds are the hardest objects in nature, basically only diamonds can cause wear and scratches on diamonds.

But over the years, no matter how hard the diamond is, it will inevitably wear out as it rolls around on the rocks.

Chu Xiangqian picked up the diamond, examined it in the sunlight, then quickly sighed and shook his head.

Although the quality of the entire diamond is good, many parts of it do not actually reach gemstone grade.

If you hire someone to polish and split the stone, you can probably end up with several fist-sized top-quality white diamonds.

It will definitely become the largest white diamond ever recorded in the real world.

However, after looking at the other more than one hundred diamonds, there were at least seven or eight diamonds the size of apples. Chu Xiangqian immediately gave up the idea of ​​splitting the diamond.
