Chapter 226 Planning, intensive cultivation
Farming is a job that sounds simple but is difficult to do.
Especially when facing a large area of land, if you have no idea in your mind and don’t know how to do it, the feeling of not knowing where to start will be even greater.
Sitting on the ground, feeling the warm sunlight above his head, he took out the psionic water from the storage space and took a deep sip.
Passing the remaining water bottle to Moore, who was also sitting next to him with an expectant look on his face. After watching Moore drink it down happily, Sumo showed some "friend (xie) kindness (e)" smile.
"Moore, look at how good I am to you, Master!"
"Okay! Moore ate well, drank well, and was very happy." Almost instantly, after hearing Sumo's words, Moore He stood up and clapped his chest, croaking loudly.
Looking at this look, Oreo, who was lying next to him basking in the warmth, rolled his eyes disdainfully.
What a flattering bear!
But before Oreo could form this sentence in his mind, Oreo suddenly screamed with joy when he heard Somo's next sentence.
"To eat so well, of course we must play the role of Lei Xiong warriors. This is a hoe for these black lands. Come and dig through them one by one for us!"
He handed the hoe to Moore's hand generously and looked at it. Looking at Moore's confused expression, Sumo stretched out his hand and patted Moore's furry back.
“Go, good job, I’ll give you extra food tonight!”
Hearing the extra food, Moore finally came back to his senses, picked up the hoe excitedly, and started working on it. got up.
The work of digging the ground is simple and requires only physical strength and strength. For the Thunder Bear clan, as long as they regard the black soil as an enemy on the way to food, they will naturally be very motivated to do it.
Seeing Molchi's extremely fast speed, Sumo nodded with satisfaction and began to lay out the seeds and arrange the planting plan carefully.
Spring wheat is very regional. Not all places are suitable for planting spring wheat. The yields of different varieties and planting areas vary greatly. The yield per mu is about 1,000 kilograms. In China, only some areas can grow it. come out.
In the wasteland, it is because it is snowing everywhere and there is a rich snow environment, which ultimately creates a growing environment for spring wheat.
For the first planting, Sumo decided to plant a pound of rice within a fixed range to study the relationship between grade and investment.
While Moore was still working hard on the ground behind him, he looked at the black soil that had been dug out.
Finding a piece of land that seemed to be the most fertile, Somo got down and began to work patiently.
Farming, in the training ground provided by the system, there is no such weird training.
Therefore, Sumo can only try to figure out his own method based on the experience summed up by everyone on the World Channel.
“When mixing seeds, the moisture should not be too high so as not to affect the smooth planting during sowing and affect the amount of seeds per acre.”
“The seeds must be mixed evenly, and every grain of wheat must be mixed. Apply moisture to avoid high hair loss rate”
"After the seed dressing is completed, the wheat needs to be dried for a while."
Sitting on the ground, he separated a pound of disaster-resistant wheat seeds on the ground. Somo luxuriously took out some nether energy water and a small basin. , ensuring that every seed on the ground can fully absorb the nutrients brought by the nether energy water.
The sun in the wasteland is very poisonous. When the nether energy water began to evaporate, Somo quickly poured all the seeds into the pot and started the second step.
Intensive plowing is required before sowing, which can not only enhance soil fertility, but also break up the bottom layer of the plow to achieve the standards of deep, fine, transparent, flat, solid and watery.
That is, the plowing layer should be deep, and after plowing, harrow it finely, rake it thoroughly, level it, and make it solid, so as to achieve a firm top and bottom, water storage and moisture conservation.
This point seems easy from experience, but when Sumo dealt with it himself, he had a headache.
Fortunately, this thing has no technical content. After spending a little more time, we reached the last step.
As the main food for one-third of the world’s population, sowing wheat is not difficult. You only need to be careful and control the amount of sowing and the distance between two ears to ensure the health of wheat.
“Huh, I’m afraid the level won’t be high this time. I’m farming while reading the guide. I haven’t even put one-tenth of my effort into it, and it’s hard to add buffs to the seed level.”
Standing on the edge of the field, looking at the leveled ground below, Sumo pulled out a day's coin from the storage space with distress.
With a slight flick of his fingertips, the coin fell into the ground in front of him. As a slow tremor erupted, the coin began to disappear and merge into the ground beneath him.
At the same time, the land seemed to be affected by some magical power, and the colors on it began to change.
“The way time currency operates is strange, but I don’t know how effective it is!”
Seeing that the game panel could not recognize the black land in front of him, Sumo thought, and the system panel Automatically expand and start scanning the land properties in front of you.
Slowly scanning from the top of the field to the end, and when it was retrieved, a surprising attribute panel appeared.
[Black soil-crop planting area-spring wheat]
[Grower]: Somo
[Planting area]: 32㎡[Planting category]: Anti-Disaster Star No. 2
[Crop Level]: Excellent
[Crop attributes]: Resist low temperatures not lower than 20 degrees below zero, resist high temperatures not higher than 40 degrees above zero, resist insect pests below 5 degrees, resist plant diseases below level 8, immune to nutrient competition among similar plants, immune.
[Estimated crop yield]: 1225 kilograms (affected by a series of man-made conditions such as weather and natural factors, not the final value)
[Estimated crop maturity time]: 82.3 days (affected by a series of man-made conditions such as weather and natural factors) Affected by a series of factors such as land, fertilizer, weather, etc., it is not the final value)
[Evaluation]: It cannot be said to be very bad, it can only be said to be so-so
"Good"
"It's so heavy that I can grow crops of excellent quality. I, Sumo, am indeed a farming genius!"
Looking at the word "excellent" on the panel in surprise, Su Mo was surprised by the evaluation given by the system. Mo directly ignored it!
Who has ever seen someone who can grow excellent quality crops for the first time?
Of course, there may be reasons for adding psionic water, but it is definitely not the main factor.
The bonus of black soil, the choice of seed model, weather factors, excavators plow the ground again and again, Moore hoe again
All the conditions combined can ensure that Somo, just a beginner, can grow excellent quality crops.
“Well, the multiplier for high-quality crops is 200 times, which means that it only takes a little over ten hours for the crops to go straight from planting to harvest.”
“No tools Harvesting can only rely on human power. It takes about 5 hours to harvest one acre of land. Including rest time, one person is responsible for two acres, and he has to work non-stop for 11 hours to harvest."
" If you do this, you will definitely be mentally exhausted the next day, and you will probably only be able to do one and a half rounds in the next two days. This is still a good situation..."
Standing on the mountain buns with a shovel, Su Mo pondered quietly and began to calculate the specific yield of excellent-level crops with the bonus.
Including the time for harvesting and re-ploughing, if you work hard for three days, and with the help of King Kong, it shouldn't be a problem to get two rounds done.
If you take a median output of 1,000 kilograms from 200 acres of land, the taxed grain collected will be around 280,000 kilograms.
If you want to convert the taxed grain into flour, Sumo can't handle so many kilograms of pure wheat alone even in the years of the monkey.
Either we have to find a way to build an automated production line, or we have to spend 10% to 20% of the food and continue to hire refugees from the Candlelight Shelter to help process the crops.
One after another, plus the wheat flour extraction rate is between 75%, 420,000 jins of spring wheat, after being converted into flour, only
84 tons!
Based on the current appetite of humans in the wasteland, about one and a half kilograms of flour a day should be a normal food intake. If you work more, this amount will have to be increased to two kilograms.
Everything was calculated based on the worst case scenario. After some calculations, Sumo got the final value.
If we bury all our thoughts on spring wheat during the three-day welfare disaster, we can grow enough flour to feed 240 people for a year.
On the contrary, if the number of people in the shelter is kept at about 10-15 people, it can last for eight to ten years.
This number sounds exaggerated, but after Sumo thought about it carefully, it was immediately ruled out!
"Not enough! Even if the shelter does not need to expand in the future, this little flour will definitely not be enough!"
"The hard currency for future transactions will definitely be food. Whether it is used to replace things, It’s better to carry it when traveling far away, the food will not depreciate at any time.”
“Besides, I must set aside enough time to grow other things, otherwise I won’t be able to eat for a year just by relying on flour. It will lead to a sudden death due to lack of various vitamins.”
He rejected the idea of planting excellent crops. Looking at the vegetable field below, Sumo simply sat down and began to slowly recover.
You only have one chance. The types of things you choose to plant must be nutritious, easy to store, and the yield must not be too low.
Therefore, among all the crops, according to Soma's original idea.
It consists of four crops in total.
The yield per mu is over a thousand kilograms, a great anti-hunger product, spring wheat.
Chinese cabbage is rich in carotene, vitamin B, vitamin C, crude fiber, protein, fat, calcium, phosphorus, iron and other trace elements.
Soybeans are a high-quality source of plant protein and are very easy to preserve. They will not go bad even after a few years.
Protect human organs and tissues and prevent various diseases. Carrot is known as the top pioneer of ginseng.
In addition to these four types, it is also necessary to plant a round of cotton used to make guncotton, which is smokeless gunpowder, and wait for the future production of cannonballs in large quantities.
If he had enough time, Sumo would also like to try apple tree seeds, which take about three years to grow, to see if they can grow fruit.
Finally, in the black land, Somo planned to buy a large amount of medicinal materials and plant them, so that the refuge could have a large and rich resource reserve.
With so many crops waiting to be planted, you definitely can’t lose sight of one. Choosing the more convenient excellent level will naturally waste a crucial opportunity.
“All crops must be upgraded to excellent quality, with a flow rate difference of 400 times, to ensure that my plan goes as planned!”
After confirming the plan, Somo has a better understanding of crop quality. direction.
Sitting on the head of the field, Somo began to slowly reflect on what he had failed to do in the previous farming steps. At the same time, he began to simulate in his mind how to do the best at each step.
Thinking intently, until the sun above his head tilted to the west, Sumo suddenly opened his eyes, picked up the shovel in his hand, picked up the high-yield wheat grain bag next to him, his eyes changed. You have to be extremely focused.
At the same time, the thought ring on his finger also began to emit a hazy light, making Soma's attention even more focused!
