Chapter 1283 The World Has Changed, the Fifteenth Natural Disaster!
Katerina calculated the rate multiplier of metabolism affecting material consumption based on the players' physical fitness.
Then the three territories communicated through the world channel and successively submitted their views on bulimia.
The first to reply was naturally Longqi.
Compared with the scale of Golden Giant Eagle and Northern Alliance, the population under the jurisdiction of Longqi Territory has now reached an exaggerated 120 million.
Even if at least 60% of the territories have only joined Longqi Territory in name, excluding these, Longqi still needs to be responsible for the material pressure of nearly 50 million people.
[Based on the current material reserves, we can still cope with the material pressure brought by bulimia for the time being. But if the next autumn harvest is affected, the huge gap will instantly break the safety cordon and produce many uncontrollable consequences. In addition, other territories under the jurisdiction of Longqi Territory may not be able to cope with this impact. 】
In the reply, Longqi also hinted that it is now in the most important period of change after the plate split, and all major territories are trying their best to build and develop.
If possible, it is best to choose to use time to exchange space to avoid this direct impact.
"It seems that these smart guys have guessed that I can know the disaster information in advance and even choose it."
In fact, since obtaining the right to choose disasters, Su Mo has not intended to hide it.
After all, being able to know the information of disasters in advance and being able to choose disasters that are beneficial to mankind is not that helpful to Tianyuan, whose scale is not even considered a micro-territory.
But looking at the entire New World, this ability is obviously helpful to the entire human group.
When the punishment disaster information was revealed before, the three territories should have been able to guess some.
Now asking about the information about the disaster in advance again undoubtedly confirms their judgment that they are not sure yet.
Putting the reply of the dragon flag aside, Su Mo picked up the reply of the golden giant eagle again.
Unexpectedly, the reply of the golden giant eagle was quite optimistic.
Affected by the regional characteristics of the plate splitting, there are many plants that are close to maturity in the southern fire area recently.
And the fruits of most of these plants can be used as food.
In addition, the survivors in the south have always maintained a "living off the sea" lifestyle, accumulating relatively rich marine food resources, and these reserves are enough to support them through the crisis brought by bulimia.
Of course, Su Mo also knows that this is just an apparent reason. The most critical factor is the inherent advantages of the southern fire region!
The plant growth conditions here, which can be harvested three or even four times a year, enable them to harvest the first crop of arable land in two months, so there is no need to worry about the impact of bulimia on material reserves.
As long as they can survive these two months, all problems can be solved.
"The early advantages of the southern fire region are simply too strong. No wonder more and more people are migrating there."
Su Mo shook his head secretly and sighed in his heart.
Since the plate split, the information about migration in the south on the world channel has suddenly increased by dozens of times, like a tide, almost drowning all other topics.
This obvious geographical advantage is truly invincible in the early stage.
However, from the perspective of the overall situation, Su Mo does not want to see everyone blindly rushing to the south.
According to the nature of the game, if players rely heavily on the geographical advantages of the south, then the next disaster will most likely target the past, destroying everyone's preparations and expectations at once.
The best way is to spread it evenly across several sectors, so that no matter where it is targeted, the risk can be minimized.
"Northern Territory"
The advantages of the southern fire region are so prominent that it is needless to think about how difficult the situation in the northern territory will be.
Putting down the letter paper, Su Mo picked up the last one.
The other two territories were judged by the high-level officials of the territory and the staff, and the final conclusions were responded.
Only in the northern territory, Kanekilov responded directly.
This "legend" in the future ruins, the card saint on the pillar of shame in the northern territory, responded mischievously.
He did not directly mention the pressure of bulimia on the territory's materials, but talked about another problem.
"If we can open up arable land that requires 500,000 tons of Shet, then I will definitely thank this bulimia!"
Material consumption is one aspect, and cleaning up excrement is a big problem.
These foods eaten will not reduce the discharge of excrement as the digestive ability improves.
On the contrary, as the enhanced metabolism makes full use of nutrient absorption, the excrement will be more and more exaggerated.
Handling 500,000 tons of Shet
If you choose to use a 9.6-meter truck to pull it, it can carry nearly 45,000 trucks at full load
Connected end to end, the length is as high as 432 kilometers!
Ah, this picture is too beautiful, I really can't imagine it.
"Ka Sheng is usually quite stupid, but he is not ambiguous at all on such a critical issue."
Put away the last piece of letter paper.
Su Mo lay back, supporting his right elbow with his left hand and his chin with his right hand to think.
Starting from the split of the plate, all future disasters are estimated to form regional differentiation.
That is: the impact of the disaster on the survivors in each region will be different according to the characteristics of the land.
For example, what impact will the three cold springs have on the northern ice field where the temperature is still around minus ten degrees?
Even if it drops to minus twenty-seven degrees, it is just a little bit colder.
For the Southern Fire Region, where the temperature is 24 degrees above zero, a continuous drop to minus 27 degrees would be really fatal. All crops planted would be devastated!
"Master, the results of the effects of low temperature have been calculated."
The number zero on the table suddenly trembled, and the calculated results of the territory's agricultural experts were projected on the wall.
Compared with bulimia, many factors such as players' physical abnormalities must be taken into consideration. The impact of low temperature on agriculture has been a high-frequency topic since ancient times.
If you are still on the earth right now, or if you can access the resource library on the earth, you can immediately find a large number of papers studying the "seed growth rate at corresponding temperatures".
Although there is no support from these papers now, the virtual environment in the territory can provide an important research environment.
Through data input and a large number of repeated simulations, we can basically get a result with a 90% accuracy rate.
"Investigating the main crops currently grown in the wasteland, the main focus is wheat and rice."
"Wheat accounts for a relatively high proportion, about 70%, and the remaining 30% is made up of rice and other crops."
Only investigating the impact of low temperature on crops in Tianyuan territory obviously cannot represent the average level of the entire New World.
Therefore, the research sample mainly uses data provided by the three major territories, as well as daily information collected from world chat.
"There are currently three main varieties of wheat grown, and the sources are mainly obtained from treasure chests in the early stage."
The projection screen changed, and the screen was divided into three vertical bars, showing a virtual simulation screen.
"The first type: Luomai 27 (semi-winter variety, medium-early maturing wheat, good cold resistance, strong tillering ability, good ability to withstand spring cold in spring, high ear rate)"
"The second type, Bainong Aikang 58 (a semi-winter variety, medium-ripening wheat, with the characteristics of high yield, stable yield, lodging resistance, drought resistance, frost resistance, disease resistance, etc.)"
"The third type, Jimai 22 (semi-winter variety, mid-late maturing wheat, has the characteristics of good cold resistance, strong tillering ability, high panicle rate, large panicles, many grains, and high yield)"
Since the planting time is late winter and early summer.
The first batch of wheat varieties planted are all semi-winter, and they are all excellent varieties grown from treasure chests.
After a period of cultivation at sea and trading among survivors in major territories, these three species now account for at least 80% of the cultivated land.
There are many miscellaneous varieties in the other 20%, but due to insufficient proportion, they are not within the scope of the study.
"Generally speaking, semi-winter wheat varieties basically have strong cold resistance and can grow normally at lower temperatures. But if the temperature is too low, such as staying below zero for a long time, the germination of seeds may be affected to a certain extent. The degree of inhibition results in slowed down germination or reduced germination rate.”
"When the temperature is around 3 degrees, germination speed: 53%, germination rate: 99%"
"When the temperature is around -12, the germination speed: 15%, the germination rate: 35%"
"When the temperature is around -27 degrees, germination speed: 53%, germination rate: 07%"
Can you save 70%?
Sumo let out a long sigh of relief, and the boulder hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground.
It may be that the severe cold only lasted for fifteen days and did not cause a devastating blow to semi-winter wheat.
Being able to preserve more than 70% of the germination rate means that there is still a yield of at least 400 kilograms per mu of land during the autumn harvest.
This is already a very impressive figure.
Especially after seeing the subsequent rice analysis data, Sumo called it a fluke.
Because rice is a tropical and subtropical crop, its adaptability to low temperatures is much weaker than wheat.
Let alone -27 degrees, even if it is -12 degrees for five days, the cells and tissues of the rice will be seriously damaged.
The formation of ice crystals within cells can cause the cell wall to rupture, causing the cell contents to leak out, thereby destroying the cell structure.
In addition, low temperature may also increase the permeability of cell membranes, causing intracellular electrolytes and organic substances to extravasate, further aggravating cell damage.
"It can be said that if minus 27 degrees remains for five days, all rice production will return to zero."
The data provides support, and the virtual environment is also simulated.
Severe frost damage has already occurred when the temperature dropped below zero, and a large number of seedlings were frozen to death in the ground.
As for minus thirty degrees
Good guy, the ditches in the ground have been frozen into thick ice. Is there any hope for the seedlings stuck in the ice to survive?
"Fortunately, fresh water is scarce in the sea and is not suitable for cultivating rice. This is why there is not a large amount of rice cultivation in the New World."
"We must take this into consideration in the future. The pampered rice is really not suitable for the wasteland!"
70% wheat, 30% rice and others.
If 70% of the wheat can be preserved, even if all the rice freezes to death, the autumn harvest yield can be guaranteed to be more than half.
Although it still cannot completely solve the material pressure, it can at least allow the survivors to hold on until the next harvest.
What about those territories that are all planted with rice?
It may be too much to say that it is deserved, but there is no problem at all to say that it is brainless.
How long has it been, and you still don’t know how to share risks evenly and don’t put all your eggs in one basket?
"It seems it's time to choose the three-year-old spring cold."
After gathering his energy and entering the World Cauldron space, Sumo did not hesitate and decisively chose the first option.
In fact, excluding the third item that has the greatest impact, it doesn’t matter which one you choose for the remaining two items.
They are all similarly harmful, the only difference is the future and the present.
And who can predict the future?
Ding Dong.
Ding Dong.
It was not a sunny noon, and the neat reminder sound rang in the ears of every survivor as Su Mo finalized the disaster.
It was very crisp, but also very harsh.
Countless survivors were still talking and laughing the previous second, and their faces immediately turned ugly the next second.
They were not unfamiliar with this sound, or they had heard it too many times in nightmares.
"Damn it, why is the disaster coming again? Didn't it just end?"
"Only seventeen days, damn, it's only seventeen days, don't want us to live, right?"
"Fuck, what kind of shitty disaster is this, I,, this is him"
"Hurry up and open the game panel, this rubbish game really doesn't want us to live."
"Fuck, late spring cold, I'm going to fuck you"
""
The remarks with a high level of mother-in-law first flashed sporadically in the world channel, and then swept the entire panel like a tide after a large number of players.
At this time, there is really no need to care about the points limit for speaking.
After seeing the preview of the next disaster, 99% of people only felt a surge of blood rushing to their heads.
If you don't curse and vent, you'll probably be so angry that one Buddha ascends to heaven and two Buddhas are born.
What the hell?
Late spring cold?
Calculating the time, it's going to be summer in less than a month, and you're telling me now that there's a late spring cold?
And it's okay to have a late spring cold snap, but why did you go to minus thirty degrees?
Why didn't you go to the Ice Age?
"Fortunately, we planted wheat in our territory. If it was rice or other crops, they would have rotted away."
"Hey, fellow villagers, don't panic if you planted our Zhengmai 618! This variety is very cold-resistant and is not afraid of low temperatures. Don't worry, it will definitely grow well!"
"Wheat is good, but what about our rice? It's minus twenty-seven degrees."
"Those who plant rice can just give up. Don't you see what kind of environment this is? Are you crazy?"
"Fortunately, we plant wheat and corn, which are not afraid of low temperatures, especially for only five days."
"Does anyone know the impact of low temperatures on potatoes? Damn, this is a rubbish game"
""
Those survivors whose arable land has been reclaimed and planted with a large amount of wheat are still emotionally stable.
In particular, some experienced old farmers took the initiative to stand up and comfort others on the world channel.
But it was these words of comfort that were like steel knives that chilled the rice-growing area.
Yes, the sub-zero temperature lasted only ten days.
But for rice that is not cold-resistant at all, what difference does three days, ten days, or half a month make?
