Chapter 257: First Hearing of the Island Group
After Sanders saw Helot, he immediately took him to a reception room that was equipped with anti-eavesdropping restrictions.
"Master... Madam, do you know you are coming?"
"My mother is in Fran City at this time. I took the airship to Lear Lake and then directly transferred to the train. She probably doesn't know that I am in Hog Town yet."
Sanders said, "The town has received word that Madam will be here tomorrow night. Is there anything you need me to do?"
"There is nothing for you to do for the time being. I came to you this time to pay you for the purchase of grain and order another batch of grain."
The stable supply of cheap food is accelerating the prosperity of Scorched Earth City, attracting more and more creatures. The activities of living things promote the development of the production system and trade system, and will become an important foundation for Scorched Earth City to fight for hegemony in the rotten wilderness in the future.
Food cannot be cut off.
A new batch of grain is being transported from the Crowlund Manor to the old cemetery.
Helot gave Sanders the money for the grain and then placed a larger order.
Sanders looked at the three times the amount and was frightened: "Master, how come your manor consumes so much food in such a short period of time?"
"Didn't I say that? Don't ask any more questions! Hurry up and prepare. I will live in the manor for a while and send all these over before I leave."
"Okay, okay..."
Sanders had questions in his mind and couldn't figure out what the Clallund Manor was doing buying so much grain. Even if the entire manor was full of living people, they wouldn't be able to eat so much food.
But since this is what my young master wants, I won’t ask if I don’t want to.
Helot gave Sanders a deposit in a formal manner, and then asked: "Do you know how many days mother will stay in Hog Town?"
"Madam's schedule is very tight. She plans to stay in Hog Town for two days, confirm all investment projects, and then head to the next stop. If you want to see her, I can arrange it."
"I have already arranged everything. Besides the food trade, you and I should try not to get involved in anything else. Once exposed, it will become more troublesome."
"I understand, Master. I will deliver this batch of food to the manor within five days."
After confirming the purchase of grain, Hailot asked again: "Your grain company not only purchases grain from the farm, but also provides high-yield seeds for the farm. Is there a kind of grain seed that can be planted in an environment full of death energy and without sunlight? ”
Sanders was confused by this strange question and didn't know how to answer it.
But this is a question raised by my young master, no matter how difficult it is to answer, I must answer it.
"Death energy is not directly related to seed growth, but without sufficient sunshine there will definitely be no yield. I think some edible fungi can be grown."
"Growing edible fungi requires organic matter. Are there any edible fungi that grow on inorganic matter?"
Sanders looked at Helot and couldn't believe that this was a question raised by a top student from the Imperial Academy.
Master, are you going to grow mushrooms on rocks?
But it doesn't seem impossible.
"The essence of growing food is to use carbon dioxide to synthesize starch. This process requires plants to complete through photosynthesis. Of course, it is theoretically possible to use other energy to replace light. Some biological companies are doing research in this area. Once they are researched, there will be no need to plant seeds in the future. "
Hailot asked: "Which biological companies are doing research on the synthesis of starch from carbon dioxide?"
Sanders thought for a moment: "There are many...the most famous one should be the Island Biological Group."
In the future, the demand for food in Scorched Earth City will be very large. If you just transport it from the outside to the inside, it will easily get stuck. Therefore, Helot wanted to find a kind of food suitable for planting in the land of death. Transporting seeds was much more convenient than transporting bulk food.
But the world's high-yield food cannot be separated from photosynthesis, and the place of death lacks light.
The weak moonlight is obviously not suitable for growing food.
The baker's fungus that grows in the Land of the Dead is a fungus that can convert carbon dioxide and water into starch without the need for photosynthesis. It grows in places rich in magical energy and uses magical energy to complete the production of organic matter.
If there are no plants in this world that can grow in the land of death, can bread mushrooms be improved to make them taste better?
Or increase its yield and use it for animal husbandry and refining and purification.
Helot felt that using the biotechnology of his world, he might really be able to grow bread bacteria to make it more delicious.
"Is it the Island Biological Group?" Helot took out a pen and notepad and wrote down the name Sanders just said.
"It's called Island Bio Group." Sanders, who has been in the grain business, said with confidence: "Their biotechnology is very advanced. The high-yield round-embryo wheat now was developed by Island Bio Group. If you want to find it, Master? For food grown in a light-free environment, you can consult Island Bio Group.
Tomorrow Group also has a deep cooperation with Island Biotechnology Group. If Madam asks them, she will definitely receive higher attention. "
"It's not a very important matter. There is no need for mother to come forward for this trivial matter. Where is the Island Biological Group?"
"The headquarters of Island Bio Group is in the Comosa Islands."
"so far!"
The Comosa Islands is an overseas enclave of the Glory Oath Empire. It is located near the equator and consists of thousands of large and small islands. There are busy international shipping lanes, beautiful natural landscapes, and ancient civilizations that are said to have sunk into the sea.
Transit, supplies, tourism, and adventure have made the Comosa Islands very wealthy, and they are an important financial and tax owner of the empire.
Because it is far away from the mainland of the empire, the Comoss Islands have a relatively high degree of autonomy. The governor has great power, and when facing an invasion, the governor can directly take over the command of the imperial army stationed on the island, which is equivalent to a local emperor.
Of course, because of the importance and uniqueness of the Comoss Islands, the governor of Comoss is generally a member of the royal family.
If I remember correctly, the current governor of Comoss is the younger brother of Emperor Bradley.
Moreover, the Comoss Islands have rich and exotic natural resources, and the biodiversity within the unit range is the highest in the world, and there are many unique creatures. World-renowned biological companies have research stations in the Comoss Islands, or directly set up their headquarters there.
The Sea Island Biological Group should be like this.
Sanders added: "The Sea Island Biological Group has a branch in the Covenant City, and the biological development technology there is also very good."
Hailot asked: "Address!"
"Dalfu Avenue in the East District... I haven't been to the Covenant City for many years, and I have forgotten the specific location, but I will definitely ask when I get there. It's a very large research institute."
Hailot wrote down the address and asked some questions about the Sea Island Biological Group. I think their biotechnology is indeed excellent.
"I'll have a good chat with them..."
