I returned the next day, and went straight to work . I carved out the channels of varying sizes, using the simple tools that I had . These were the tools, I got from Woody a long time ago . They were still in my bag, and a good thing I didn"t throw them away, as they became very useful . Mostly chisels and hammers were available to me, I had no saws, but this wasn"t a problem . I could chop the wood to a specific length using the Razor"s swords . "Who would have thought, that I will find some use for those swords . They do act like a saw, so me using it like a saw, should not be a problem!" I thought .
I worked for a few hours, and created a lot of different channels . "I now have to test them, and build a miniature field, that looks like mine" I thought . With that, I went to Ulon . He said "You can use some s.p.a.ce, next to your field . This should be enough for you, right?" . I nodded my head, and did just that . I dug some holes, and made a replica of my field . Although it didn"t contain any herbs, it looked the same, and this was enough .
I placed different types of channels around the mock up field, and poured water into the main tank, that I also created . The main tank would be used to house all the water needed for the plants, that required watering each day . It would also contain the additional water, which would fit into the other channels . I still didn"t know the exact amount of water, so I had to test it . I filled half of the tank with water, and waited for it to travel to all the channels . When the tank became empty, I Immediately noticed that it wasn"t enough . I poured another half, and waited . This time, the smaller channels were full, while the bigger channels were about half full .
"So the channels I created, are too shallow . I need different channels, and bigger ones as well . Back to work then" I thought, and went back to creating more channels . I worked like this for couple of days, until I found the specific sizes I needed . "This should do it, now the other problem at hand" I thought .
I had to create this watering system in such a way, that the bigger channels containing a lot more water, wouldn"t just flood the rest of the field . "But how should I do this?" I thought . I wrecked my head about it, but nothing came to me . I decided to ask Frosty again . I asked "Frosty, you have any ideas?" . Frosty came out, and found a stick on the ground . Frosty wrote, that I needed more tanks, in order to displace the water that collected in the bigger channels .
I was stunned, and asked "You"ve done this before, or something? It seems that you know how to do it no problem" . Frosty smiled, and wrote "It"s simple" . Like h.e.l.l it was . Either way, Frosty"s idea was again very good, so I decided to incorporate that . Instead of only channels, I need to add additional tanks, where the water from bigger channels would flow into . With appropriate tanks, I could deliver the water to specific sections of my field, when the time was right .
I went back to work, and created different sizes of tanks, to test out on my mock up field . I played with varying sizes of tanks this time, and after some time, I finally managed to find the right solution . "Great! Finally, the channels and tanks are ready . Now I just need to figure out, how to distribute the water, and we are home dry" I thought . As I was about to end my day of work, Ulon came along, and asked "So, how is it going?" .
I replied "Quite good actually . I already have the watering system built . Now, I just have to figure out, how to deliver the water to those plants that need extra care . Arran Gra.s.s, Oviral Plants and Ghost Flax, don"t need so much attention, therefore I can use a normal method of delivery . Ghost Flax just needs more water, which can be accomplished with bigger channel . The Blood Yarn is not an issue as well . It only needs to be watered once in a while, but it has varying watering periods . This could be accomplished, with couple different channels . The problem is, how to deliver water to Night Safis, and Earth Grabbing Sprout" .
Ulon nodded his head and said "You came quite far, with just a few days of work . Keep it up, and hopefully, we will have this working full time" . I nodded, and said "I will try my best, but it will take some time" . Ulon waved goodbye, and left . I didn"t tell him about the biggest problem . "The issue is, the way that the herbs grow . There is no progression from old to young . They grow from the middle of the section, to the outside . If the whole field is supposed to stay that way, there is too much randomness . I need to find patterns, in order to solve that, otherwise this will not be possible for herbs such as Blood Yarn" I thought .
I decided to end the day, and go back to my room . "Maybe Frosty can help me again . After all, it seems to know much more about it, than I do . I wonder, where Frosty gets all that stuff from?" I thought . Back in my room, I asked Frosty about the problems I encountered, and again got some ideas . Frosty wrote, that in order to water the herbs, which needed special care, I could make some additional features inside the channel on the required section of the field . This would allow for a specific type of watering .
For example, if I wanted to water Earth Grabbing Sprout, I would need a hole in the channels, that would concentrate the water, and drop it onto the herb . There was more and it could solve a lot of problems, but one still remained . "I still don"t know, how to make all the herbs grow in a specific way . I need to look for patterns, but I don"t know if this will be enough" I said . Frosty nodded, and agreed . This was something, none of us could figure out, without watching how these herbs grew .
The next day, I told Ulon that I will be leaving for a while . He asked "Are you going to collect more wood?" . I said "That, and I need to go hunt some animals . I will be back in about three or four days . I hope you can take care of the field for now" . Ulon shook his head, and said "You don"t have to ask . I already told you, don"t worry about the field, and do what you have to do . I already saw what you did, so I believe you can create this thing . Even if it takes you a long time, this will stay with us, for the rest of our lives" .
I nodded, and left towards Wilderness . This time, I took a cart with me, because besides hunting, I needed more wood . "I will gather some wood, as I return from my hunt . The best creatures, would be Ognars, but I will hunt anything edible at this point" I thought . I was in luck, as I found a group of Ognars, after about a day of travel . I immediately hid my presence, and used a different plan this time . "Let"s see, what this Bladeless Sword can do" I thought, and made my way towards the group .
When they least expected it, I appeared next to the Ognar, and activated the Formation inside the sword, while swinging it down . "Swoosh!", "BOOOM!" . The Ognar"s head, was pretty much chopped off . It died instantly, after receiving that kind of attack . "This weapon is great! It took me so long, just to kill one of them with my daggers, yet this sword… It"s great . I will need to practice more, while using that sword in the future" I thought, and attacked other Ognars .
The group I encountered, consisted of four Ognars . This was manageable, since one of them died from one swing of my sword . After a bit of jumping, and running around . I managed to kill the other three Ognars . "This amount of meat, is too much for me . I will have to leave some . I was too excited about the sword, that I killed them all" I thought, and butchered the creatures . My bag was full of meat, and I couldn"t fit any more inside the bag . It was hard to walk, this was not the only weight I had . I was still carrying other stuff with me, so the weight was much greater than just meat . I decided not to put the bag onto the cart though . "This should be a good training… again" I thought, and dragged the cart towards Apium .I returned the next day, and went straight to work . I carved out the channels of varying sizes, using the simple tools that I had . These were the tools, I got from Woody a long time ago .
