Chapter 758: Harvesting Rapeseed

After returning to the wood-scented house, the mother and daughter closed the doors and windows, took off their protective masks and gloves, washed their hands and sat at the clean dining table.

Zhang Shi handed the chopsticks to his daughter and looked at her with encouraging eyes.

Zhang Shiyi raised his little head and looked at his mother doubtfully.

Zhang Shi's voice was soft, "Eleven, you can talk here."

It is very dangerous to make a sound in the evolutionary forest. Eleven, who has become accustomed to silence, opened his mouth and tried several times before letting out a soft and low cry.

"Mother."

After entering May, the weather became hotter every day, and the growth rate of crops also accelerated.

Soybean, mung bean and potato plants all grew to thigh height. The fastest growing one is corn, and the plant is already taller than Xia Qing.

Beautiful flowers bloomed on cotton plants about one meter long, and rice and wheat also headed and bloomed. The farmland was full of hope and a sense of urgency.

Because seeing these crops growing well, the lords couldn't help but think about these crop seedlings and how many of them would evolve or even aggressively evolve during the upcoming second rain, resulting in reduced crop yields or even no harvests.

In order to reduce anxiety, the lords can only make as many preparations as possible, so all territories have been very busy recently.

Xia Qing wore comfortable and breathable summer clothes made of new materials. She cut off the yellow rapeseed plants that had fallen leaves and were full of pods, and placed them on three pieces of rainproof cloth spread in the greenhouse to dry in the sun.

On the largest piece of rainproof cloth, there are 204 yellow-light rapeseeds drying in the sun. These can be directly squeezed for oil and eaten. Xia Qing planned to keep them instead of exchanging them.

On the second piece of rainproof cloth, there are 55 red rapeseed plants drying. This kind of rapeseed must be sent to a food factory for drying before it can be processed into food or oil. This kind of food has very low nutritional value and will be sold to safe areas at a low price. The ordinary people in the city ate their hunger.

On the smallest piece of rainproof cloth, seven plants of yellow rapeseed with a content of more than 6 parts per thousand of the element were dried in the sun. These are cultivable and optimized species that emerged from one acre of fields and can be kept as seeds.

Those two hundred or so plants cannot be used as seeds because their content of the chemical element has exceeded 10%.

After a rough estimate, Xia Qing found that one acre of rapeseed harvest could not replace the fertilizer, insecticides and fungicides used in the rapeseed field. Not to mention the cost of building the greenhouse and the labor and sheep labor that went into this acre of land from last winter to May of this year.

Not only rapeseed, but also winter wheat in the fields is losing money.

The root cause is that before the snow attack last winter, the Fire Trappers used poison gas bombs at No. 50 Mountain, which caused the red level snow attack in the northern zone to last too long, resulting in the loss of more than half of the crops grown in the farmland of the territory at that time. .

The seedlings in the fields are all gone, and there’s still a shitty harvest!

Although Team Agni compensated the lords for their losses with yellow-light wheat seeds, looking at the sparse wheat and rape fields, the lords still felt distressed and cursed Agni as nothing.

Of course, behind the scenes, he was naming names, and in the lord channel, he was using insinuations. Liehuo is Hui Yi's first team, and the lords can't afford to offend them.

Zhu Li cursed a few times and asked, "Have there been any optimized varieties that can be cultivated in the rapeseed field? I only have three plants here with a content of 6.5‰. They grew a total of 53 rapeseed pods, and the rapeseed seeds were even grown on half an acre of land. All dissatisfied."

Although this crop of rapeseed was a loss, the lords still chose to continue planting it.

First, because the aggressive killing evolution form of this kind of rape only has small thorns, the risk factor is much smaller than that of dancing potato seedlings; second, the snow killing this winter should not be as severe as last year, and there should be more rape plants. Survive the snow period, and then successfully survive the first rain next year, and successfully set seeds.

Yuan Yan also went online, "I only have two plants here."

Seeing that everyone only had two or three rapeseeds, Tang Huai asked Xia Qing, "Xia Qing, what about you? You have half an acre more rapeseed than everyone else. How many more rapeseeds should there be?"

Xia Qing pressed the button, "I have 7 plants here, and the content of the element is more than 6 parts per thousand."

Wen Nengjie immediately went online, "Seven plants are enough to plant half an acre. With Sister Qing's luck, it is very likely that green light optimized species will emerge if planted. Are Brother Feng and Brother Heng here? How are you doing there?"

Tang Heng came online with a gentle voice, "My ratio is similar to everyone else's. A total of 68 optimized strains were produced, six of which are green lights."

It was not Hu Feng who came online in Territory 1, but Tangzhou. “The ratio in Territory 1 was similar, with 320 plants harvested and 58 green plants.”

In the winter of last year, Territory No. 1 planted fifty acres of rapeseed, and Territory No. 12 planted ten acres. The ratio of cultivated and optimized varieties they harvested was almost the same as everyone else's.

but! Among their optimized species is green light rape, which is completely different.

Kuang Qingwei immediately went online to ask, "Brother Heng, Brother Tang, can I ask where you got the rapeseed seeds you planted last year?"

This was a big deal, and everyone pricked up their ears to listen.

Tang Heng remained gentle, "Part of it is the planting center of our base, and part of it is Huiwu. The quality of Huiwu's yellow rapeseed is better than that of our base, and the green rapeseed plants are also grown from seeds bought from Huiwu. "

Tangzhou replied, "The situation in Territory No. 1 is the same as Territory No. 12."

Kuang Qingwei immediately wrote down, "Thank you Brother Heng and Brother Tang. It seems that Huiwu's high-quality rapeseed seeds have good results when planted here."

Xia Qing nodded in agreement.

After planting for more than a year, she found that the stability of high-quality seeds purchased from other bases was very different from the data given by the place of origin.

For example, the specialty of Baisan Base, BS-6 green light rice seeds, grows poorly when planted in the best soil in Xiaqing's territory, and the content of harmful elements also increases. In addition, the specialty of Hongyi Base, Y-3 green light corn, grows better and is more stable in Territory No. 3 than BS-6.

Analyzing the reason, Xia Qing believes that the climate and soil conditions of Baisan Base are very different from those of Huisan Base. The same is true for Hongyi Base, which is separated from Huisan by a vast sea of ​​evolution forests, but the gap is smaller than the former.

The high-quality wheat M-14 and high-quality rice J-2 cultivated in Territory No. 7, which is only three kilometers away from Territory No. 3, grow very well in Territory No. 3.

Huiwu is 600 miles away from Huisan, and its climate is similar to Huisan. It is reasonable that Huiwu's high-quality rapeseed seeds grow well here.

Qi Fu came to the same conclusion as Xia Qing, "When we exchange high-quality seeds in the future, we will give priority to Huiyi and Huiwu. Our three bases are close to each other and have similar climatic conditions."

"Brother Qi is right." Zhao Ze also came online, "According to this, the X-2 from our base may not grow well if it is promoted to other bases."

This is good news for the lords of Huisan Base. If this is true, the price of X-2 Gaoyi elemental spinach will not drop too low.

Just when everyone was about to have a heated discussion on this issue, a very powerful female voice suddenly came online.

"Tangzhou, are you in Territory No. 1?"

Tangzhou heard the other party's identity and his scalp tightened a little, but he still confessed honestly, "Yes, I just came back the day before yesterday."

Tangzhou likes farming very much, so when he comes back from a mission to rest, he likes to stay in the territory instead of the safe zone.

It was because he came back to take charge that Hu Zifeng had the opportunity to go out to perform tasks.

Yanlong asked again, "Are you busy now?"

Xia Qing in Territory No. 3 silently lit a stick of incense for Tangzhou.

Tang Zhou felt the pressure, but he dared not tell the truth, "No hurry, Sister Yan, you tell me."

"Okay, I'll go there now."

Tang Zhou... Is it too late for me to run now?

Xia Qing: If I run faster, can I still catch up to watch the game?
