  Chapter 74 The Harvest Before Winter    "3 tons of struvite...According to the average per mu Calculating the amount of 30 catties, the actual arable land area must be more than 100 mu, which is much larger than expected."

On the way back, Chu Guang thought while writing on the notebook with a pen.

"It seems that my speculation is correct, they should have applied some soilless cultivation techniques, and this part of the production capacity accounted for 15% to 30% of the total production capacity... or more."

p>

Brown Farm will make some manure itself and buy a little from other merchants. The actual cultivated land area is probably larger than I thought.

Before crossing, Chu Guang heard of a pipe-type soilless cultivation technique that can maximize the use of space and water resources. As long as the fertility is sufficient, one mu of land can be used as ten acres of land.

In the pre-war era of this world, it seems that there are similar technologies, and the use of space is maximized. Regardless of energy costs, the development of automatic seeding, cultivation, ripening, harvesting, assembly line transportation, packaging and distribution The integrated "skyscraper" can really produce absolutely more than a catty per mu.

Its name is CNC planting tower, which can be regarded as the ultimate body of industrial planting technology.

Very cyberpunk.

Brown Farm’s energy is certainly not that luxurious, but since part of the electricity can be used for food, there should be no shortage of electricity resources.

In addition, they have planted fields for a century, and they will inherit a part of the technology and improve it to adapt to the wasteland environment.

At this moment, Chu Guang suddenly has a thought.

"Could it be... planting some kind of energy crop?"

Brown Farm is not just growing green wheat, I heard that this stuff is ripe quickly, and the harvest is finished. Later, there will be a chance to grow croissants, beans, fruits and vegetables or other crops.

Perhaps the latter is the one who has the greatest demand for fertility?    At the end of the 20th century, some people have used cash crops, by-products, or artificially cultivated special crops to produce ethanol and biodiesel. With the gradual maturity of this technology, these crops are sometimes specifically classified as "energy sources" according to their uses. crop".

It is reasonable to guess that in the pre-war world that has mastered controllable fusion technology, similar technologies may be more advanced than he imagined.

However, in the era when nuclear fusion technology has achieved a major breakthrough, the actual use of this energy crop should not be for the production of fossil fuel substitutes.

It is used as an industrial raw material.

"... Brown Farm itself does not have industrial capacity. Some of the economic (energy) crops it produces are used as fuel, and partly sold to merchants from Boulder City, and supplied to Boulder City as industrial raw materials. Factory."

"The product is suspected to be some kind of rubber, crude oil analogues or other hydrocarbons."

"And, this crop should not consume little fertility!"

Chu Guang wrote this line on his notes.

The gain from this transaction is greater than he imagined.

Not only the grains and tools in the wagon, and the "order" of 3 tons of struvite in the spring of next year, but also the intelligence collected indirectly through transactions.

Especially this information, when he was a scavenger, was impossible to collect.

When you go back, you can publish the setting set on the official website for players' reference.

While Chu Guang was analyzing the information, the players next to him were also beeping quietly.

"1kg of struvite can be exchanged for 10kg of grain? I am not mistaken, am I right."

"You are mistaken, it is 12kg."

"I I don’t understand, is it because the green wheat is too cheap, or the stones we picked from the lake are too valuable."

"Maybe both? Maybe not... Wait, we bought it from the warehouse. How much is the grain?"

"1kg green wheat 1Silver Coin looks like, I know what you want to say, pick 1kg struvite and move it back to the warehouse to exchange for 2Copper Coin, right?"

"Yes! Is this reasonable?"

"Don't worry, although there is no farming system now, I bet that when the time comes, the price of NPC's harvest of green wheat must not exceed 1kg 1 Copper, is it reasonable to think so?"

"pu, it's like a hammer in the river of Thailand...a hammer! Sell us 1Silver Coin 1kg!"

"Calm, Which game is not like this? Besides, it has to be true. In reality, the price of food fluctuates. When the time comes, some players are sold, and those that can’t be sold can be sold to the granary of NPC."

At this point, the player whose ID is [The Escape Mole in the Canyon] sighed and said with a rather regretfully expression.

"It would be great if you can open the running business system. 1kg of struvite is transported to Brown Farm and replaced with grain, and it is transported back to 12kg of grain. Even if it is sold to NPC, it is more than 2Copper Coin! 12kg, less Say there is 1 silver believing or not? This game is really terrifying."

Although Chu Guang didn't look up and ignored him, he glanced at this guy and hehe smiled in his heart.

The truth is correct.

But the layout is still small.

If you take the struvite stone and go to Brown Farm to exchange grain, and then take the wholesale grain to Boulder City to exchange guns, believing or not 100kg of struvite can be exchanged for five or six guns? Do   n't worry.

When the spring starts next year, your great manager will do this business for you. The chips you earn are the foreign exchange reserves of the base, which will be divided into you.

What?   Do you want to settle your reward in Boulder City’s currency?   Why, do you still want to buy a house in Boulder City and marry a wife?

Actually, Chu Guang didn't intentionally "exploit" his little players. Moreover, compared with the farmers of Brown Farm and the old leeches on Beit Street, he is not exploited at all.

In the blueprint planned by Chu Guang, the currency issued by Refuge 404 will replace the bargaining chips issued by Boulder City until the fifth generation currency at the latest, and become the hardest currency in the entire Qingquan City and the surrounding areas. .

To suffer a little bit now, but also to enjoy the good for everyone in the future.

"Master manager, there seems to be someone in front."

"?"

Come again?

The small notebook was tucked back into his pocket, and Chu Guang right hand reflexively stretched out to the sledgehammer behind him. However, as soon as he touched the handle of the hammer, he found that the so-called people were the same.

I saw the brawny man who had previously met him at the door, and was using his shotgun against the serf who had been brought out earlier.

The latter put his head in his hands, and shiver knelt coldly on the ground.

The entire group stopped.

Chu Guang looked at the brawny man, and the brawny man also looked at him in a daze.

"What's the matter?"

"No."

Chu Guang glanced at the pitiful person who was pointed at by the gun and dared not move. Then he looked towards the brawny man and asked with a strange expression.

"Is this?"

The brawny man didn't want to explain, after all, this is his own personal business, but seeing that this group is not easy to provoke, he said cautiously.

"...He is the Master's slave. He is old and has arthritis in his leg. He can't do any work. He broke a plate yesterday. The master asked me to take him outside to deal with it. After listening to the brawny man, Chu Guang only remembered that every winter, Brown Farm seems to dispose of a few slaves that can’t do heavy work and no one buys them, and wait for the next year from the slave merchants. Buy new ones.

Where did these slaves come from?   Ghost knows.

Some were auctioned off by creditors because of their debts, some were because they lost their freedom by being captured by robber, and some were 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 come to the end of his life can't even reach a two-headed cow that can carry goods.

At least the latter has more flesh.

"Please, please let me go."

The brawny man glanced impatiently at the man who was kneeling on the ground.

"Even if I let you go, where can you go? Have a good time, don't make me embarrassed."

"Please, please..."

The serf could not say anything else.

"Wait a moment."

Chu Guang stepped forward and looked at the old man kneeling on the ground.

"How old are you."

"51……"

It is indeed a bit old.

As far as slave is concerned, it is already an advanced age.

But from another perspective, it also means experience.

Chu Guang continued to ask.

"What will you do."

Seeing the hope of life, the old man turned tremblingly, reaching out to hug the life-saving straw.

When the brawny man saw it, he kicked him away with quick eyes and hands, and scolded.

"Don't touch the host’s distinguished guests with your dirty hands, do you want to be hanged?"

His eyesight can tell that these people and the host have business contacts.

Even though he got a kick, the old serf didn't care at all. He didn't even look at the brawny man when he got up. He raised his wrinkled face and looked at Chu Guang.

"I, I can farm land, know numbers, can do carpentry, move things... I can do anything. "Please, sir, give me a way to survive. "

"You know how to count," brawny man sneered. "Just how many potatoes do you count is called knowing how to count?" My lord, don't listen to his nonsense, he can't do work anymore at his age. Two teams of merchants who are doing slave trading came this month, and none of them are interested in him. "

Chu Guang took out a white chip from his pocket and flicked it into the brawny man's hand with his thumb.

"Is it enough?" "

The brawny man smiled with joy and quickly nodded.

"Enough is enough. "

even if a little, it's still better than nothing, and this slave is not his    Pick up the chips, brawny man raised his shotgun and put a shot into the sky, then picked it up on the ground He moved towards Chu Guang, bowed, and happily carried the gun back and went back for business.

The serf shivered coldly on the ground, obviously scared by the shot just now, the whole person He lost his soul.

Chu Guang ordered a player to come forward and pull him up, bring him to his face, and look at him instructed with a commanding tone.

"I bought your life, and now you work for me. "

I finally got my soul back.

The serf immediately wanted to kneel, but was stopped by Chu Guang raising his hand.

"We don’t want to kneel here.

Li, put your right fist on your left chest to show loyalty. If you let me find any betrayal or unfaithfulness, don't let me do it, dig it out and feed it to the dog. "

This kind of frightening words Chu Guang means that if there are traitors, you just throw them in an active substance extractor and you don’t have to spend so much time.

Although Chu Guang himself is a civilized person.

But after living here and observing for a period of time, he knows that some problems cannot be solved with civilized thinking.

Aboriginal people The roots of the players and the players are two different creatures.

For the natives, you have to use native methods to manage.

This is good for both parties.

p>

"Yes, sir," the old man lowered his head respectfully, with a more relieved expression, and sensibly pressed his right fist to his chest, "I offer you loyalty...My name is Luca, no, I don't have a name, please give me a name. "

"It's Luca." "

Chu Guang was too lazy to waste time and beckoned to the players.

"Go on. "

"We have to go back before noon." ”

……

This trip for businessmen can be said to be a full harvest.

The 300kg struvite was changed to 3600kg green wheat and horn potatoes. , 100kg of bacon was replaced by 500kg of green wheat and 5 tools.

Although Chu Guang wanted to quibble, venison and hyena meat are different. The former is rarer than the latter. After all, it’s not always possible to touch Migrating to the herd of deer, but the other party said that if this is the case, let’s use hyena meat. Anyway, as long as it is not human meat, mouse meat, fish meat, etc., it is the same for them, Chu Guang has to give up.

In contrast, Liu Zhengyue still looked at the relationship between the two parties and made a small concession, allowing him to choose 5 tools or 1 catty of tobacco leaves to take away, which is considered a gift.

Of course, Chu Guang chooses tools. , And I picked big pipe wrenches and fire axes. When the time comes, even if you don’t need it, you can make steel and copper if you take it home.

apart from this, 25kg smoked fish We also exchanged almost 150kg of scrap metal.

Unlike the aluminum and steel alloys that can be seen all over the street, these metals are good products containing copper and zinc.

Originally, Liu Zhengyue I don’t really want to sell it, but maybe because I thought that the merchants would not come for a few months anyway, and it would be useless to stay on the farm, so after consulting the owner, I nodded agreed.

The noon sun is shining overhead, and the shadows of trees on the road are swaying.

Except for a power player pulling a cart, the rest of the players are scattered around the caravan.

Occasionally I see someone approaching.

The mutant cockroaches, they screamed and rushed up and beat with sticks. They were more excited than the alien species.

If the alien species could think, they would be stupid at the moment.

Who is it? Prey?

The only thing that Chu Guang needs to do is to stop them from hoarding, and they want to put them in their pockets when they see any weird things.

Although the mutant cockroach’s stomach , Occasionally I can find some baubles that cannot be digested, and I can even find chips or bullets when I am lucky, but the probability is too small.

In most cases, cockroach eggs are found.

The old Luca who watched shiver coldly from the side was probably shocked by the actions of these people.

He had never seen such a strange person, and could not understand them at all. What are you thinking about.

But Luca knows very well that as a servant, he doesn’t need to think about this. It doesn’t exist.

I feel happy and want to sing.

Leading the caravan of canopies back to the outpost, Chu Guang, who had just arrived at the gate, happened to see that the two brothers Yu Family, carrying their prey, were gesturing anxiously with the players at the south gate.

Chu Guang eyes shined, calling out from a distance.

Hearing the familiar voice, the Yu Family brothers immediately turned their heads and waved with joy.

"Chu big brother!"
