"Rusha."
I didn't want to bother him, but Owen was too desperate to find out where the ball came from in the lizard kid's hand.Hearing this, Rusha turned his head to look at Owen and asked, "Is there anything else?"
Your Lordship. ”"Come here."
Owen hooked his finger at the other.An unknown Rusha walked over, and Owen then raised his hand and pointed at the lizard kid just now."
Rusha, do you know the ball in the kid's hand?"
Rusha looked in the direction Owen was pointing, then turned around and replied with a puzzled expression, "Yes, isn't that just a child's toy, there used to be a lot of children in our village who played bounball." ”"Bouncing balls?"
Owen was stunned.Well, that's just the lizardmen's naming of that ball, it's very graphic, and there's nothing wrong with that."
You mean to say that there are raw materials for making bouncing balls near the villages of your Shensha tribe?""
Yes."
Lu Sha nodded, "And there are many, there is an area on the east bank of the Wenshui River where this raw material can be obtained. ”Hearing this, Owen's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Is the raw material obtained from a kind of tree?"
A cut in the trunk with a knife would cause a milky liquid to flow out, and Rusha looked shocked at hearing such a detailed description."
How do you know?
Have you ever seen us lizardfolk take white milk from a white milk tree?
”White milk tree and white milk?
It's the name of the lizardman again."
I haven't seen it."
Owen shook his head, "I just read about rubber in a book. ”He's using the ancient book as a shield again, and Rusha can't verify whether humans know about it anyway."
Oak ......
Glue?
”Rusha repeated awkwardly."
It's just another way to call it."
Owen explains: "We humans call the white milk tree a rubber tree, the white milk a natural rubber latex, and the elastic solids made from white milk are called natural rubber, such as the ball I just asked you about. ”Is there such a thing?
Viscount Jarvis on the side also heard of such a thing as rubber for the first time, and couldn't help but secretly feel that Owen was young and had a wider range of knowledge than himself."
I see."
Rusha finally figured it out, and then suddenly realized why Owen was asking him this."
Lord, you ask me this, do you want to ......"
"That's right!
Rubber is a very important raw material. ”Owen nodded solemnly, "I need you to collect a large amount of natural rubber latex and transport it over at that time, and I will pay you a reasonable price to buy it." ”Rubber products have a wide range of applications in industry and life.To put it simply, rubber can be made into an eraser that can be used to erase the handwriting left by a pencil on paper.If the trial production is successful, when the Gemini Chamber of Commerce comes to pick up the goods, it can be sold to President Marsha, and it should be sold with a pencil, which should have a good market.In addition to this, rubber can also be made into latex gloves.With this layer of protection, it will be safer to do some chemical experiments in the laboratory in the future.Of course, rubber can be used for much more than that, but can also be used as tires, insulating skins for wires, etc., which can be used later.Just by fantasizing about it in his head, Owen was excited."
Is it such an important raw material?"
Rusha didn't expect Owen to attach so much importance to rubber.It's a very common thing for them."
Understood, I will send someone to tell Keman, and immediately organize someone to cut off the white breasts.""
There's no hurry."
Owen raised his hand to stop: "There is not even a decent road from your village to the border town, and it is quite time-consuming to transport it, and the natural rubber latex may also mildew on the way."
Not only that, but your tapping skills may need to be improved as well. ”"That's right, I'm in a hurry."
After a pause, Lu Sha proposed, "Regarding the road, I think we can open up a simple dirt road by the way when the Shensha tribe moves back in batches. ”"That's a good idea."
When this dirt road is completed, it is bound to become an important trade route between the lizardfolk gathering place and the border town."
Then again, how do you use natural rubber latex, which is white milk?"
Owen suddenly asked curiously."
We?"
Rusha scratched his head, thought for a moment, and replied, "We usually use it as an adhesive to glue things together; There is also a layer on the roof, which has a good rainproof effect; And that bouncing ball is kneaded into a ball with excess white milk mixed with other things. ”"It's really simple and primitive."
Sure enough, Owen wasn't surprised at all.The reason why the bouncing ball was gray was due to the lizardman trying to add a lot of mess into it.There is a rubber grove on the east bank of the Wenshui River, which is indeed exciting news.It will definitely become an important rubber production area in the future, and it will be continuously transported to the border town for processing.The Mystery Forest is indeed a treasure land!
Owen couldn't help but sigh.At the same time, he also had some doubts.According to Owen's known information, the rubber tree is a typical tropical rainforest tree species and is a positive plant.It likes high-temperature, humid and sunny places, and the suitable temperature for growth is high.The climate in which the Mystery Forest is located is obviously not suitable for the growth of rubber trees.Considering the impact of magic on this world, since monsters can be born, perhaps the rubber tree in the Mystery Forest is also a new tree species unique to this world that can produce natural rubber latex, Owen guessed.Either way, it's a good thing, for the lizardmen to exploit the rubber groves.As for the matter of rubber, Owen and Rusha agreed to discuss it in detail tomorrow afternoon, and let him go back with his people.When it comes to moving home, they also need to have a good discussion within the Shensha tribe to come up with a complete plan.Back in the castle's office, Owen summoned the system as soon as he sat down, opened the folder, found a book on rubber tapping technology, and opened it to look up."
I see, it's the right thing to do."
Owen immediately took out a pen and paper and began to take notes on it.At that time, he will teach these advanced rubber tapping techniques to the lizardmen, so that they can teach them to other lizardmen when they go back, so that they can collect natural rubber latex more scientifically and effectively.After the excerpt was finished, Owen remembered that he had something to look for Winster, so he raised his hand and clicked on the emergency call.What are you looking for me?
】Winster asked.Owen was surprised to tell Winster about a rubber grove on the east bank of the River.

[Huh?
There are rubber trees in the forest in the southwest, so please be sure to transfer some raw materials, I want to study them. 】The living environment is obviously different from the rubber trees on Winster's side, and the natural latex produced may also be different.This lord is backed by a tech tycoon
