Chapter 226 Planning and Meticulous Cultivation

Farming is a job that sounds simple but is difficult to do.

Especially when facing a large piece of land, if you don't have a concept in your mind and don't know how to do it, this feeling of not knowing where to start is even stronger.

Sitting on the ground, feeling the warm sunshine above his head, Su Mo took out the psionic water in the storage space and drank it fiercely.

He handed the remaining water bottle to Moore, who was also sitting next to him with an expectant look on his face. After watching Moore happily drink it up, Su Mo showed a "friendly" smile.

"Moore, look at how my master treats you!"

"Good! Moore eats well, drinks well, and is very happy." Almost in an instant, after hearing Su Mo's words, Moore patted his chest and stood up, shouting.

This look made Oreo, who was lying next to him to bask in the sun, roll his eyes disdainfully.

What a flattering bear!

But before Oreo's words took shape in his mind, Oreo suddenly shouted with joy after hearing Su Mo's next words.

"Since we eat so well, we must play the role of the Thunder Warrior. Here is a hoe for these black lands. Come and turn them over for us one by one!"

Handing the hoe to Moore, Su Mo looked at Moore's confused expression and reached out to pat Moore's furry back.

"Go quickly. If you do a good job, I'll give you a snack in the evening!"

After hearing about the snack, Moore finally came back to his senses. He picked up the hoe excitedly and started to work.

Turning the soil is simple and only requires physical strength and strength. For the Thunder Bear Clan, as long as they regard the black soil as an enemy on the road to food, they will naturally be full of energy.

Looking at Moore's extremely fast speed, Su Mo nodded with satisfaction, began to discharge seeds, and carefully arranged the planting plan.

Spring wheat is highly regional. Not all places are suitable for growing spring wheat. The yield of different varieties and different regions varies greatly. The yield per mu is about 1,000 kilograms. In China, only some areas can grow it.

In the wasteland, it was snowing everywhere, and there was a rich snow environment, which eventually created a growing environment for spring wheat.

For the first planting, Su Mo decided to plant one kilogram within a fixed range to study the relationship between the level and input.

While Moore was still working hard to turn the land behind, he looked at the black soil that had been opened.

Finding a piece of land that looked the most fertile, Su Mo got down and began to work patiently.

There was no such strange training for farming in the training ground provided by the system.

Therefore, Su Mo could only try to explore and summarize his own method based on the experience summarized by everyone in the world channel.

"When mixing seeds, the water content should not be too high, so as not to affect the smooth sowing and the amount of seeds per acre."

"The seeds should be mixed evenly, and every grain of wheat should be mixed with water to avoid too high a leakage rate."

"After the seed mixing is completed, the wheat needs to be slightly dried."

Sitting on the land, Su Mo separated a pound of disaster-resistant wheat seeds on the ground. He took out some psionic water and a small basin to ensure that every seed on the ground can fully absorb the nutrients brought by the psionic water.

The sun in the wasteland is very toxic. When the psionic water began to evaporate slightly, Su Mo quickly put all the seeds into the basin and started the second step.

Before sowing, it is necessary to carry out intensive cultivation and preparation, which can not only enhance the fertility of the soil, but also break the bottom layer of the plow to achieve the standards of deep, fine, thorough, flat, solid and water.

That is, the tillage layer should be deep, and after plowing, it should be raked finely, raked thoroughly, leveled and tamped to achieve looseness on the top and solidity on the bottom, and water storage and moisture retention.

This point seems easy to say from experience, but Su Mo himself had a headache when dealing with it.

Fortunately, this thing does not have much technical content. After spending a little more time, it has reached the last step.

As the main food for one-third of the population on Earth, wheat sowing is not difficult. You just need to be careful and control the amount of sowing and the distance between the two ears to ensure the health of the wheat.

"Huh, I'm afraid the grade will not be high this time. I didn't put even one tenth of my effort into farming while reading the strategy, and the buff is difficult to increase the seed grade."

Standing on the head of the field, looking at the flat ground below, Su Mo took out a one-day coin from the storage space with heartache.

With a slight flick of his fingertips, the coin fell into the ground in front of him. With a burst of slow trembling, the coin began to gradually disappear and merge into the ground under him.

At the same time, the land seemed to be affected by some magical power, and the color on it began to change.

"The way time currency works is strange, but I don't know how effective it is!"

Seeing that the game panel could not recognize the black soil in front of him, Su Mo's mind moved, and the system panel automatically expanded and began to scan the land attributes in front of him.

Slowly scanning from the top to the bottom of the field, when it was collected, it brought a surprising attribute panel.

[Black soil-crop planting land-spring wheat]

[Planter]: Su Mo

[Planting area]: 32㎡

[Planting category]: Disaster Resistant Star No. 2

[Crop grade]: Excellent

[Crop attributes]: Resist low temperature not less than minus 20 degrees, resist high temperature not more than 40 degrees, resist insect pests below 5 degrees, resist plant diseases below level 8, immune to nutrition competition of similar plants, immune

[Estimated crop yield]: 1225 catties (affected by a series of human factors such as weather and natural factors, not the final value)

[Estimated crop maturity time]: 3 days (affected by a series of factors such as land, fertilizer, weather, etc., not the final value)

[Evaluation]: It cannot be said to be very bad, it can only be said to be so-so

"Great"

"I can grow excellent quality crops with such heavy crops. I, Su Mo, am really a genius in farming!"

Looking at the word "excellent" on the panel with surprise, Su Mo directly ignored the evaluation given by the system!

Who has ever seen excellent quality crops grown in the first farming!

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, excavator plowing once, Moore hoeing once

All the conditions added together can ensure that Su Mo, who is just a beginner, can grow excellent quality crops.

"Well, the bonus multiplier for excellent quality crops is 200 times, which means that it only takes a little over ten hours for the crops to reach the harvest period from planting."

"Without tools for harvesting, we can only rely on manpower. It takes about 5 hours to harvest one acre of land. Including rest time, one person is responsible for two acres, and harvesting has to work for 11 hours without sleep."

"If you do this, you will definitely be mentally exhausted the next day. In the next two days, you can only produce one and a half rounds. This is still under good conditions."

Standing on the hill with a shovel, Su Mo pondered quietly and began to calculate the specific yield of excellent-level crops under the bonus.

Including the time for harvesting and re-turning the soil, it should not be a problem to work hard for three days, plus the help of King Kong, to produce two rounds.

Taking an average yield of 1,000 jin for 200 acres of land, the tax grain collected is about 280,000 jin.

If you want to convert the tax grain into flour, so many kilograms of pure wheat, Su Mo alone will never be able to handle it.

Either find a way to build an automated production line, or take out 10% to 20% of the food and continue to hire refugees from the Candlelight Shelter to help with the crops.

All in all, plus the flour yield of wheat is between 75%, 420,000 kilograms of spring wheat, after being converted into flour, only

84 tons!

With the current appetite of wasteland humans, about one and a half kilograms of flour a day should be a normal amount of food. If you do more work, this amount will have to be increased to two kilograms.

Everything is calculated according to the worst case scenario. After a lot of calculations, Su Mo got the final value.

If the three-day welfare disaster buries all the thoughts on spring wheat, it can grow enough flour for 240 people to eat for a year.

On the contrary, if the number of people in the shelter remains at around 10-15 people, it can last for eight to ten years.

This number sounds exaggerated, but when Su Mo thinks about it carefully, it is ruled out at the first time!

"Not enough! Even if the shelter doesn't need to expand in the future, this amount of flour is definitely not enough!"

"In the future, the hard currency for transactions will definitely be food. Whether it is used to exchange things or carried on a long journey, food will never depreciate."

"Besides, I must leave enough time to grow other things. Otherwise, relying on flour alone, everyone will lack various vitamins and die suddenly in less than a year!"

Directly rejecting the idea of ​​planting excellent crops, looking at the vegetable field below, Su Mo simply sat down and began to slowly recover his strength.

There is only one chance, and the types of things chosen to be planted must be nutritious, easy to store, and the yield cannot be too low.

Therefore, among all the crops, according to Su Mo's original idea.

It consists of four crops in total.

Spring wheat, a hunger-fighting general with an output of more than 1,000 kilograms per mu.

Cabbage, a chargeer rich in carotene, B vitamins, vitamin C, crude fiber, protein, fat, calcium, phosphorus, iron and other trace elements.

Soybean, a source of high-quality plant protein, and very easy to preserve, even a veteran that will not go bad for several years.

Protecting human organs and tissues, preventing all kinds of diseases, known as the top pioneer of small ginseng, carrots.

In addition to these four types, a round of cotton for making gun cotton, that is, smokeless gunpowder, needs to be planted, waiting for the mass production of shells in the future.

Even if there is enough time, Su Mo also wants to try the apple tree seeds with a growth period of about three years to see if it can grow fruit.

Finally, in the black soil, Su Mo plans to buy a large number of medicinal herbs to plant, so that the shelter can have a large and rich resource reserve.

With so many crops waiting to be planted, we must not lose sight of one while choosing a more convenient excellent level, which 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 the plan was determined, Su Mo had a direction for the quality of crops.

Sitting on the ground, Su Mo began to slowly reflect on the points that had not been achieved in the steps of planting just now, and at the same time began to simulate in his mind how to do the best in each step.

With concentrated thinking, until the sun above his head set in the west, Su Mo suddenly opened his eyes, picked up the shovel in his hand, picked up the high-yield wheat bag next to him, and his eyes became extremely focused.

At the same time, the mind ring on his finger began to emit a hazy light, making Su Mo's attention more focused!
