Building infrastructure in the wizard world

Chapter 331 The Importance of Strong Knowledge

After Kong Wenhua finished speaking, the eyes of the audience once again fell on Shi Hao.

Everyone couldn't wait to see what a beet is, Shi Hao didn't hesitate, and with a big wave of his hand, the World Book appeared in Shi Hao's hands.

Then, a bag of beet seeds, a beet seedling and a whole beet appeared in front of everyone.

The sugar beet seedling in front of me has oblong basal leaves, 20 to 30 cm long, 10 to 15 cm wide, with long petioles, the upper part is wrinkled and slightly shiny, and the lower part has thick and protruding veins, entire or Slightly wavy, apex blunt, base cuneate, truncate or slightly heart-shaped.

Its petiole is stout, convex below, flat or grooved above.

Moreover, the cauline leaves are alternate, smaller, ovate or lanceolate oblong, with acuminate apex and narrowed base into short stalk.

Look at the 2-3 flowers of beets clustered together, and the base of the perianth grows together with each other when fruiting.

Its perianth lobes are strip-shaped or narrowly oblong, and become leathery and arch inward when fruiting.

The lower part of the utricle is sunken in the hardened perianth, and the upper part is slightly fleshy.Seeds lenticular, 2-3 mm in diameter, reddish brown, shiny.Embryo ring-shaped, pale; endosperm powdery, white.

"Judging from the fertility of the land around our camp, I estimate that the maturity date of beets is between one and a half to two and a half days. As long as we control it properly, we can get a good material for sugar production." Shi Hao said to everyone.

"It's not very sweet, isn't it? It's not very delicious either?" Shan Chengzhou didn't care about three seven twenty-one, he picked up the beet on the ground and bit it down, expressing such emotion.

Of course Shi Hao knows that beets are not delicious, there are too many fruits that are more delicious than beets, and there are too many things that are sweeter than beets, but the economic value of beets is really too high.

"Take, if you want to eat, eat this." Shi Hao took out a whole sugarcane from the world book and gave it to Shan Chengzhou.

"This is? Sugarcane?" Kong Wenhua was the first to recognize the crop of sugarcane.

Shi Hao nodded, admitting that this item is sugar cane.

Sugarcane is a tall, solid perennial herb.The rhizome is thick and well developed.

它的秆高3到5米左右。直径能2有6厘米，有的甘蔗种类能有20到40节，下部节间较短而粗大。

Leaf sheaths of sugarcane longer than internodes, glabrous except sheath mouth pilose.The ligule is very short, ciliated, the blade is 1 meter long, 4 to 6 cm wide, glabrous, the midrib is thick, white, and the edges are serrated and rough.

I saw the sugarcane held by Shan Chengzhou. The cylindrical stem is upright, tillering, clustered, knotted, and there are buds on the nodes.

The internodes are solid, covered with wax powder, purple, red or yellow-green.The leaves are clustered and have a thick white midrib.The large panicle is terminal, with silvery long hairs at the base of spikelets, and the oblong or oval caryopsis is small.

"Don't tell me, this thing is quite sweet. What's the use of it?" Shan Chengzhou ate together naturally, and asked while eating.

"It's very useful." Kong Wenhua immediately took over the chatterbox and said, "Sugar cane can be used to make sucrose esters, fructose syrup, etc.

Similarly, its bagasse, waste honey and filter mud can be made into paper, fiberboard, particle board, furfural, feed, food medium, alcohol, dry ice, yeast, citric acid, lysine, glacial acetic acid, monosodium glutamate, Glycerin, cement, fertilizer, etc.

If we have a complete industrial chain, we can make good use of these waste materials and make great things.

Similarly, it uses the remaining sugarcane tips, sugarcane leaves, bagasse chaff, waste molasses or alcohol waste as feed for cattle, sheep, etc., which can be used as ruminant animals.Pellet feed can be made by mixing molasses and filter mud into grain feed.The waste slag and waste liquid discharged from the sugar factory can be used as fertilizer for sugar cane.

We can also try to feed the elves with the feed it made.

Sugar is one of the essential foodstuffs for human beings, and it is also an important raw material for food industries such as candy and beverages.

At the same time, sugarcane is also an important raw material for light industry, chemical industry and energy.

Therefore, the development of sugarcane production plays an important role in promoting the development of agriculture and related industries, and even the development of the entire camp. "

Just when everyone wanted to marvel, Kong Wenhua hadn't finished speaking.

"It can also be seen from various documents in the academy that sugarcane is rich in sugar and water, and in addition, it also contains various vitamins, fats, proteins, organic acids, calcium, iron and other substances that are very beneficial to human metabolism.

Sugarcane can not only add sweetness to food, but also provide the nutrients and calories needed by the human body.

It contains protein, fat, sugar, calcium, phosphorus, iron, asparagine, citric acid, oxalic acid and other organic acids and vitamins B1, B2, B6, and C.

The bagasse that has been squeezed out of the juice contains polysaccharides that have inhibitory effects on Ehrlich's carcinoma and sarcoma 180 in mice.

It also has medicinal value, the main effect, can be mainly used to treat lower qi and harmonize the middle, help the spleen, benefit the large intestine, eliminate phlegm and quench thirst, remove heart and chest troubles and heat, and relieve alcohol poisoning.

It can also cure vomiting and nausea, and wide chest diaphragm.

Eating sugar cane and wine together will produce phlegm; eating too much will cause deficiency and fever and cause nosebleeds.

Burned ashes exist, grind into powder, and children with head sores and white baldness can be healed by frequent application.Be careful not to burn the smoke into the human eyes, otherwise it will cause vision loss.

To cure nausea, use seven liters of sugarcane juice and one liter of ginger juice, mix evenly, and swallow gently every day.

It can also cure oral ulcers in children: use sugarcane peel to burn and grind, and rub the affected area.

In short, its value is too great. "

Kong Wenhua talked more and more vigorously, and even brought out many concepts of Chinese medicine.

Shi Hao: ...

It doesn't have to be so specific.

"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and plant them!" Shan Chengzhou has already begun to imagine how a camp with beet and sugarcane will be even more powerful.

While others were still thinking about how to use sugar beets and sugarcane to make sugar, Shan Chengzhou had already thought about ten steps later.

"I'm afraid this land is not easy to grow." It was still the old man Shui Gu, who could see the trick at a glance.

"Yes, the planting of sugarcane requires site preparation." Kong Wenhua said: "Soil preparation is to provide a deep, loose and fertile soil condition for the growth of sugarcane, so as to fully meet the needs of its root system growth, so that the root system can better absorb water, The role of nutrients.

At the same time, soil preparation can also reduce the occurrence of diseases and weeds in sugarcane fields.

Because of the particularity of sugarcane, deep plowing is the basis for increasing production.

The root system of sugarcane is developed, and deep plowing is conducive to the development of the root system, so that the aboveground part grows faster and the yield is higher.

Deep cultivation is a general principle and requirement.The specific degree of deep plowing must be adjusted to local conditions, depending on the depth of the original plowing layer and soil properties, generally about 30 cm.

Deep plowing should not destroy the original soil layer, and it should be combined with increasing fertilizer application.

Early tillage can weatherize the soil and improve its fertility.Therefore, sugarcane fields should be plowed in time after the previous crops are harvested.Early plowing is more important for fields where sugarcane is planted after rice. "

After listening to Kong Wenhua's words, Shi Hao once again sighed how important a powerful academy is to the camp and himself.
