3 tons of struvite... Based on the average consumption of 30 jin per mu, the actual arable land area is definitely more than 100 mu, which is much larger than expected.
On the way back, Chu Guang thought while writing on his small notebook with a pen.
It seems that my speculation is correct. They should have applied some soilless cultivation technology, and this part of the production capacity accounts for 15% to 30% of the total production capacity... or even more.
Brown Farm will make some manure and buy a little from other merchants, and the actual area of cultivated land may be larger than I thought.
Before traveling through time, Chu Guang heard of a pipeline-type soilless cultivation technology that can maximize the utilization of space and water resources. As long as the fertility is sufficient, one acre of land will be used as ten acres of land.
In this world's pre-war era, it seemed that there were similar technologies, and the utilization of space was maximized. It developed skyscrapers that integrate automatic sowing, cultivation, ripening, harvesting, assembly line transportation, and packaging and distribution regardless of energy costs, and can really achieve a yield of more than tens of millions of pounds per mu.
Its name is CNC planting tower, which is considered the ultimate body of industrial planting technology.
Very cyberpunk.
Brown Farm’s energy is definitely not that luxurious, but since it can be exchanged for some electricity for food, it is not too scarce to see electricity resources.
In addition, they have planted fields for at least a century, and they will inherit some of the technology and improve it to adapt to the wasteland environment.
At this time, Chu Guang suddenly had a whim.
Could it be... some kind of energy crop was planted?
Brown Farm does not only plant green wheat. I heard that this thing ripens very quickly, and after harvesting, there is still a chance to plant a round of sheep, beans, fruits and vegetables or other crops.
Perhaps the latter is the one who needs a lot of fertility?
At the end of the 20th century, people had already used cash crops, by-products or artificially cultivated special crops to produce ethanol and biodiesel. As this technology gradually matured, such crops were sometimes specially classified as energy crops according to their purpose.
If you think it is reasonable, the pre-war world where you have mastered controllable fusion technology may be more developed than he imagined.
However, in an era when nuclear fusion technology has made major breakthroughs, the practical use of this energy crop should not be a substitute for the production of fossil fuels.
Instead, it is used as an industrial raw material.
...Brown Farm itself does not have industrial capabilities. Part of the economic (energy) crops it produces are used as fuel and partly sold to merchants from Jushi City, and are supplied to Jushi City factories as industrial raw materials.
The products are suspected to be some kind of rubber, crude oil analog or other hydrocarbons.
Moreover, this crop should consume a lot of fertility!
Chu Guang wrote this line of words on his notes.
The gains from this transaction were even greater than he had imagined.
Not only the grains and tools in the caravan, as well as orders for 3 tons of struvite in the spring of next year, but also the information collected through the transaction.
Especially this information was impossible to collect when he was a scavenger.
After returning, you can open the official website settings for players to refer to.
Just as Chu Guang was analyzing these information, the players next to him were also whispering.
Can 1 kilogram of struvita be exchanged for 10 kilograms of grain?I'm not mistaken.
You read it wrong, it's 12 kilograms.
I can't understand it. Is it because this green wheat is too cheap or the stones we picked up from the lake are too valuable.
Maybe they are all?Maybe not...wait, how much does the grain we buy from the warehouse cost?
1 kilogram of green wheat and 1 silver coin, I know what you want to say. I can only exchange 2 copper coins if I pick 1 kilogram of struvite and move it back to the warehouse?
For Ah!Is this reasonable?
Don't worry, although there is no farming system now, I bet that the price of NPC collecting green wheat will definitely not exceed 1 kilogram and 1 copper. Is it reasonable to think about it this way?
Puff, it’s like a hammer in the river of Tai... Ah!Sell us 1 silver coin and 1 kilogram!
Calm down, which game is not like this?Besides, I have to be serious. Isn’t the actual food prices fluctuating up and down?At that time, some players will sell them to NPC's granary if they can't sell them anymore.
Speaking of this, the player with the ID called Canyon Escape Mole sighed and said with a regretful expression.
It would be great if the business run system could be opened. 1 kilogram of struvitae was transported to Brown Farm for food, and the 12 kilograms of grain was shipped back, even if it was sold to NPC, there were more than 2 copper coins Ah!12 kilograms, at least 1 silver believes it or not?This game is really terrifying to think about.
Although Chu Guang didn't look up and ignored him, he still glanced at this guy and smiled in his heart.
The reason is right.
But the situation is still small.
If you take the struvite stones to Brown Farm to exchange grain, and then use the wholesale grain to exchange guns in Jushi City, do you believe that a hundred kilograms of guano can be exchanged for five or six guns?
rest assured.
When the spring of next year begins, your great managers will do this business for you. The chips earned are the foreign exchange reserves of the base and will be divided into you.
What?
Do you want to settle your rewards in the currency of Stone?
What, you still want to buy a house in Jushi City to get married?
In fact, Chu Guang did not intend to exploit his young players, and compared to the farmer of Brown Farm and the old leeches on Bate Street, this is not considered exploitation at all.
In the blueprint of Chu Guang's planning, when the fifth generation currency is at the latest, the currency issued by Shelter No. 404 will replace the bargaining chips issued by Giant Rock City and become the hardest currency in the entire Qingquan City and even the surrounding areas.
It is also for everyone to enjoy the happiness of the future.
Manager, there seems to be someone in front of you.
?
Come again?
The little notebook was stuffed back into his pocket, and Chu Guang stretched out his right hand to the sledgehammer behind him in a conditioned manner. However, as soon as he touched the handle of the hammer, he found that the so-called people turned out to be two.
I saw the strong man who had met him at the door before, using his hunting rifle to the serfs he brought out.
The latter held his head with his hands and knelt on the ground with trembling trembling.
The group stopped.
Chu Guang looked at the strong man, and the strong man also stared at him blankly.
Is there anything wrong?
No.
Chu Guang glanced at the man who was pointed at by a gun and didn't dare to move, then looked at the strong man and asked with a strange expression.
This is?
The strong man didn't want to explain at first, after all, this was his own private matter, but seeing that this group of people was not easy to provoke, he said cautiously.
...He is the slave of his master. He is old and has arthritis in his legs. He can't do anything. He broke a plate yesterday.The master asked me to pull him outside to deal with it.
After hearing the strong man's words, Chu Guang remembered that every winter, Brown Farm would deal with a few slaves that could not do heavy work and no one bought, and would buy new ones from slave merchants next year.
As for where these slaves came from?
Ghost knows it.
Some were auctioned by creditors because of debt, some were lost because of captives captured by the robbers, and some simply cloned products, or a forgotten shelter facility was suddenly unblocked.
Chu Guang even heard that some scavengers sold themselves or their relatives because they couldn't survive.
In this wasteland, a slave who is about to reach the end of his life is even less than a two-headed cow that can carry goods.
At least the latter has more flesh.
Please, please let me have a way out.
The strong man looked at the man kneeling on the ground impatiently.
Even if I let you go, where can you go?I'd better give you some fun and don't make me embarrassed.
Please, please...
The serf could no longer say anything else.
Wait for a moment.
Chu Guang walked forward and looked at the old man kneeling on the ground.
How old are you?
51……
It's a bit old indeed.
As far as slaves are concerned, they are already old.
But from another perspective, this also means experience.
Chu Guang continued to ask.
What do you know.
As if seeing hope for life, the old man turned around tremblingly and reached out to hug the life-saving straw.
The strong man saw it, kicked him away quickly with his eyes and hands, and scolded him.
Don't touch your host's distinguished guest with your dirty hands. Do you want to be hanged?
His eyesight could tell that this group of people had business dealings with their masters.
Although he was kicked, the old serf didn't care at all. He got up and didn't even look at the strong man. He raised his wrinkled face and looked at Chu Guang.
I, I can farm, know the numbers, I can do carpenters, move things... I can do any job: Please, sir, give me a way out.
You can still recognize numbers. The strong man sneered, just counting those potatoes is also called knowing numbers?Sir, don't listen to his nonsense. He can no longer do work at his age.This month, two teams of slave traders came, and none of them were interested in him.
Chu Guang took out a white chip from his pocket and flicked his thumb into the strong man's hand.
Is it enough?
The strong man was happy and nodded quickly.
Enough is enough.
No matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat, and this slave is not his.
After packing up the chips, the strong man raised his hunting rifle and shot him in the sky, then picked up the shell on the ground, bowed to Chu Guang, and happily carried the gun back to hand over the job.
The serf shivered on the ground and shivered, obviously frightened by the shot just now, and looked like he was lost.
Chu Guang ordered a player to come forward and pull him up, bring him to his face, and looked at him in an orderly tone and said.
I bought your life, and now you work for me.
Finally got back to my soul.
The serf immediately wanted to kneel down, but Chu Guang raised his hand to stop him.
We don’t kneel here, and put your right fist on your left chest to show loyalty.If I find any betrayal or infidelity in you, don't let me do it and dig it out and feed it to the dog yourself.
Chu Guang said this kind of scary words, if there is a traitor, it would be like throwing it into the active substance extractor and it would not take such a lot of trouble.
Although Chu Guang himself is a civilized person.
But after living here and observing for a while, he knew very well that some problems cannot be solved with the ideas of civilized people.
Aboriginals and players are two different creatures in their roots.
For indigenous people, indigenous methods must be managed.
This is good for both sides.
Yes, sir, the old man bowed his head respectfully, with a much more at ease expression. He put his right fist on his chest very sensible, and offered his loyalty to you... My name is Luca, no, I don't have a name, please give me a name.
Just call it Luca.
Chu Guang was too lazy to waste time and waved to the players.
Keep going.
We are going back before noon.
……
This business trip can be said to have gained a lot.
300 kilograms of struvitae were replaced with 3,600 kilograms of green wheat and wool potato, and 100 kilograms of bacon and 5 tools.
Although Chu Guang wanted to argue that venison and hyena meat were different, the former would be more rare than the latter. After all, not always could be encountered when deer migration was happening, but the other party said that since that was the case, let’s take hyena meat. Anyway, as long as it is not human meat, rat meat, fish meat, etc., it is the same for them, so Chu Guang had to give up.
However, Liu Zhengyue made a small concession in terms of the relationship between the two parties, allowing him to choose 5 tools or 1 kilogram of tobacco leaves to take away, which was considered a gift.
Of course, Chu Guang chose tools, and he chose large sizes such as pipe pliers and fire axes.Even if you can't use it, you can still make steel and copper after taking it back.
In addition, the 25 kilograms of smoked fish were also replaced with almost 150 kilograms of scrap metal.
Unlike the aluminum and steel alloys that are visible all over the streets, these metals are good products containing copper and zinc.
Originally, Liu Zhengyue didn't want to sell it, but maybe she thought that the merchants wouldn't come for a few months, so it would be useless to stay in the farm. So after asking the owner for instructions, he nodded in agreement.
The noon sun shines above my head, and the shadows of trees sway on the road.
Except for one power player who pulled the cart, the rest of the players were scattered around the caravan.
Occasionally, when they saw the mutant cockroaches leaning over, they yelled and rushed up and beat them up, which was even more excited than the alien species.
If the alien species could think, he would probably be stupid now.
Who is the prey?
The only thing Chu Guang had to do was to stop their hoarding habits and wanted to put any strange things in his pocket.
Although some indigestive gadgets can be found in the stomach of mutated cockroaches, and they are lucky enough to even get chips or bullets, the probability is too small.
In most cases, cockroach eggs are found.
Old Luca was trembling when she watched from the side, probably because she was scared by the actions of these people.
He had never seen such a strange person before, and he could not understand what they were thinking.
However, Luca knew very well that as a servant, she didn't need to think about this problem. The less she knew, the longer she lived, the longer she lived, so she didn't say anything along the way, and the feeling of existence seemed to not exist.
I feel happy and want to sing.
He led the caravan back to the outpost. Chu Guang, who had just arrived at the door, happened to see that the two brothers of the Yu family, carrying prey, were anxiously gesturing with the players at the south gate.
Chu Guang's eyes lit up and he called out from afar.
Hearing the familiar voice, the two brothers of the Yu family immediately turned around and waved their hands with joy.
Brother Chu!
On the way back, Chu Guang thought while writing on his small notebook with a pen.
