Chapter 1971 Reproduction
And now, Lancelot got a permanent solution to this problem from the World Tree seedlings.
Stamp the world.
Yes, that’s the literal meaning.
The first layer of land has been reclaimed.
Just use powerful industrial power to build a floor on the land.
This consumption of human labor can be said to be astronomical.
But for the matter that the world itself possesses, it is just an extra layer of egg skin.
The empire now has about 3 billion acres of land, supporting a population of 1.8 billion.
The production methods of the Middle Ages could feed many of these people.
This is also because of the medical support in the industrial area. Otherwise, the mortality rate among young children would be very high.
It is normal to raise ten and live five.
Adding a 20-meter-high flat layer and piling up soil will create another 3 billion acres of arable land.
The amount of this project and the demand for building materials are an astronomical figure that is impossible to complete even for modern Dongzhou.
However, it is different when heaven and earth work together.
The energy released by a large-scale crustal shaking is equivalent to the total energy consumption of human society for decades, and it is much greater.
Lancelot led the people in the industrial area and began to pray.
Pray to their fellow farmers, three-dimensional land.
Everyone is very sincere.
This prayer lasts for seven days and seven nights.
Compared to people in agricultural areas, they live in paradise.
Countless industrial products, adequate nutrition, and modern entertainment.
Some people have thought about bringing all this to our compatriots in agricultural areas. There are many people who think so, but very few people do so. Anyone who wants to do so is struck to death by lightning.
The emperor did not hide it at all and said directly that those people were violating the will of God.
Soon the ground began to shake.
Countless amounts of energy and matter erupted from the earth's crust.
Even for modern productivity, the power of the earth is still an extremely distant and unattainable number.
Then the matter and energy gradually solidified after erupting to a height of 20 meters.
The farmers were all shivering and hiding in their homes.
Some smart people who were dissatisfied and vaguely knew the truth immediately lost their thoughts of rebellion when they saw this kind of earthquake.
How could it be possible to resist such power?
People can fight against people, how to fight against this divine power?
Not even a little bit possible.
This drastic change lasted for more than a month.
20 meters high rock layer, finally cooled.
Miraculously, no one was killed.
All rock layers were shaped in open grasslands and farmland.
Of course this is just a template.
If you want to turn them into farmland, people in the industrial area need to transform the soil and then build water conservancy projects.
The main purpose is to build a large number of reservoirs to store water sources.
New farmland was then built around the reservoir.
There will naturally be little soil at the beginning, so plant hydroponic plants and develop low-density water-based animal husbandry.
When time passes, new soil will be formed from the corpses of dust and soil organisms.
Of course the most important thing is to dig out the soil from the next layer and cover it.
This job can be left to hard-working farmers.
Their labor is worthless.
The workers earn 1,000 a day, and they earn 1,000 a year.
When the emperor and the minister of agriculture came to the agricultural area again.
The Minister of Agriculture and his entourage knelt down.
What is in front of me is a complete miracle, indisputable.
As soon as the emperor had a thought, God fulfilled the emperor's request.
Who can resist the emperor?
Fortunately, the emperor is not cruel, nor does he have too many thoughts. He just reads books and plants trees every day, and does nothing else.
Not even a concubine.
The ministers knew that this was to prevent the emperor from having boring harem fights between his concubines and princes after his reincarnation.
"A miracle, this is a miracle!" A farmer said on his knees.
“Can God ordain us to be farmers from generation to generation? Why can’t we live in industrial areas? There is light there at night.” The farmer’s son said dissatisfied.
The emperor saw the young man.
At the age of fourteen or fifteen, for some reason, he thought of the big rat.
Could it be that the other party has also been reincarnated?
Impossible, he watched the other party being swallowed by the colorful giant tree with his own eyes.
This absolutely cannot be fake. "Your Majesty, it seems that these untouchables are still not satisfied. Thanks to you for asking for a miracle to bring them more land." The Minister of Agriculture was very angry.
Do you know how hard the emperor works?
After praying hard for seven days and seven nights, everyone else took turns sleeping, but the emperor kept his eyes open.
Who is this for?
Isn’t it because you have no land to plant?
If it were a kingdom in history, it would only be suppression and massacre.
Reducing the population to a certain level and then stabilizing it
How could anyone put in such a big effort like the current emperor?
"It doesn't matter, people always have hope. Give them more places. Those who have the most children, produce the most food, and do the most good deeds can enter the industrial zone." Lancelot said casually.
He did not embarrass the farmer's son.
Many young people have that kind of fantasy because they can’t get over it.
After all, people in industrial areas still communicate with people in agricultural areas.
They want to guide agricultural production, teach them how to use pesticides, chemical fertilizers, and improved seeds, and how to use one acre of land to grow a ton of grain that shocked the ancients.
In ancient times, it took thirty acres of land to feed a family.
Modern people only need one acre to feed a family of three.
Through the exchange, the farmer’s son naturally learned a little about the life of people in the industrial zone.
They only work 8 hours a day and have two days off per week.
There are swimming pools, cinemas, televisions, refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners...
In contrast, they only have electric fans and electricity.
This is because in order to ensure production, electricity must be available, and water can only be pumped with electricity.
Steam engines are not enough. Steam engines are too bulky and inefficient to be used in large-scale agricultural production.
If there is no water pump in the field, no matter how good the land and seeds are, it will not be possible to maintain a stable output.
God is not going to rain on you just because you need water during the harvest season.
The weather was good because the rainwater was evenly distributed that year and did not cause floods or droughts.
Because of electricity, the farmer’s son can understand how comfortable life in an industrial area can be.
But why can't they go in and live?
No one explained this problem to them.
Only the emperor himself knows.
Life is so good that people don’t want to have children.
This is strange, why is this happening?
Probably because people enjoy more, they are not willing to endure hardship.
If you have been enduring hardships, the hardships of giving birth are nothing in comparison.
And giving birth to children can share the pain.
…………
After the creation of the second-tier farmland, one hundred years later, the population surged from 1.8 billion to 3 billion.
The farmland on the second floor is full again.
The average person has two acres of land, which is the lower limit. If it were any less, it would easily lead to not having too many children.
A person who cultivates two acres can breed seven children. If he only cultivates one acre, he can only raise two children.
Then there are three layers of land.
Four levels of land.
The entire world of magic tide turned into a world of rock formations.
If someone cuts the world open and looks at it, they will find that it is very much like a game: "Dwarves build the world."
Level after floor, people live and multiply on the floors.
The population is also increasing.
Finally a big problem occurred.
The problem was that the emperor found it impossible to manage directly.
A seemingly simple problem, if it becomes a scale of hundreds of billions, it is a difficult problem to solve.
It is very simple to feed one person, but it is too difficult to feed 100 billion people.
The distribution, transportation, waste, and accumulation...
will cause the originally sufficient food to become insufficient.
They need three times the amount of land to support the same population.
The industrial zone has been expanded several times.
Lancelot felt like he couldn't resist anymore.
Even if the number of nobles expanded tens of thousands of times, it would still not be enough to manage such a large number of people.
Let them manage themselves, problems will soon arise.
They don’t want to give birth.
For generations, our ancestors have relied on that little bit of land to survive. There has been no change or any ambition.
