Chapter 597: Grain Harvest

Before you know it, it's December.

Blue Mercury, in the middle of Guangming 6, not far from the Holy Water Lake outside Guangming City, and next to the Holy River that flows eastward after connecting with the lake, millions of Blue Star people are already standing.

After more than three months of seedling, jointing, heading, maturity and other stages, the crops in front of you, the main food crops of the Blue Star people - wheat and rice, finally reached the season of ripe harvest.

"Okay, great, we have food to eat."

"Only the artifact of the Protoss can grow so much land in such a short period of time."

"This is all brought to us by His Majesty the God King, long live His Majesty the God King."

Standing next to the vast golden wheat rice field, the Blue Star Elders discussed excitedly.

After a few months of busyness, long-term exposure to the wind and sun, Cheng Fangwen's skin is much darker, and it looks a bit like a healthy wheat color, but it is much better than bronzer.

"Uncle Cheng, how is the area and yield of this wheat and rice field?" Tianming, who was standing next to the ridge, asked.

Because it is still summer, the weather in the northern hemisphere of Blue Mercury is hotter, and the average temperature on the 6th ground is higher, and the maximum daytime temperature in recent days has reached more than 3o degrees, and the sun is blazing, and it is easy to sweat after standing outside for a long time.

Cheng Fangwen took off the white towel on his shoulder, wiped it on his face, and said to Tianming next to him with a smile: "According to the needs of the Blue Star people, we first planted the seeds of the Blue Star native crop wheat rice into the ground. However, the amount of wheat seeds they collected was not very large, plus some of the wheat seeds I cultivated that I brought from the small space, and it was divided into two areas. A total of 5oo acres were planted, and the yield was low, with an average yield of about 38o catties per mu, and the yield of wheat seeds I cultivated was slightly higher, with an average yield of about 42o catties per mu. ”

"38o catties, 42o catties. That's a bit low. Tianming frowned.

"It's okay, the climate is good on Blue Mercury's side. Wheat and rice can be planted three crops a year, and on the whole, the yield is still good. However, ......" changed his tone, and Cheng Fangwen said with a hint of smugness on his face: "I brought wheat, corn, rice and other crop seeds from the earth. After planting on this 6 land, perhaps because of the soil fertility, the growth here is very good, coupled with the sunshine, rain, temperature and other suitable environments, the average single-season yield is more than 1ooo catties...... You know, we didn't apply any fertilizer to these lands, and we only relied on the relatively balanced nutrients of the soil itself, and we achieved a higher yield than on the other side of the earth! ”

These are professional stuff. Tianming's head was a little big when he heard it, so he waved his hand a little impatiently and said: "Needless to say, the yield per mu is so detailed, what I want to ask is." Is the total production enough? ”

"Enough, how not enough!" Speaking of this, Cheng Fangwen was even more excited, and pointed to a piece of wheat rice field in front of him:

"At the headwaters of the upper reaches of the river, we grow five million acres of wheat and rice, and the total yield of wheat and rice. It's about 1oo tons. Going down the river, another 100 million acres of earth's wheat were planted. The total output is about 5oo tons, and then down the river, 50 million mu of rice is planted, the total output is about 250000 tons, and further down, there are 50 million mu of corn, the total output is about 26oo tons...... There are a total of about 300 million acres of land, which will be harvested during this time, and the total amount of grain produced! ”

Cheng Fangwen said excitedly, at the same time, there are some small regrets in his heart, the environment of Blue Mercury is indeed very good, but because of the difference in the biosphere environment, some kinds of earth crops cannot grow on Blue Mercury, such as peanuts, beans, rape, although Cheng Fangwen wants to grow these crops in Blue Mercury, but because there are no rhizobia in the soil of Blue Mercury, and there are no pollinators such as bees and moths, this kind of crops cannot be grown.

Another thing that worries him is that some strange microorganisms native to Blue Mercury are very interested in certain kinds of earth's crops, and these crops have only been planted for a short time, they have been infected by these microorganisms, and all of them have fallen ill and died, such as sorghum, and when it comes to the jointing stage, they suddenly suffer from large-scale wilt, and in less than a week, all five million acres of sorghum have withered, and the work of planting these sorghum has all been in vain.

But Cheng Fangwen finally breathed a sigh of relief, because the three main crops of the earth, wheat, rice, and corn, grew very well on the side of Blue Mercury, with no pests and diseases (Blue Mercury, a big 6 that had just been flooded, it can be said that there was not even a single insect), no rats (there may be, but it has not yet appeared), and no microbial invasion.

"100 million tons of grain, almost enough......" Tianming thought to himself, turned his head to Cheng Fangwen and said, "Uncle, don't wait any longer, let's start harvesting." ”

"Huh!"

Cheng Fangwen walked up to a radio projection device, held a microphone in his hand, and said into the microphone: "All agricultural machinery is ready, start harvesting!" ”

On the upper edge of the wheat rice field, on the edge of the golden farmland of more than 200 kilometers, 50,000 large combine harvesters have been prepared, and behind the harvesters, followed by 50,000 tracked grain transport vehicles, and then in the rear, construction workers have built 50 huge grain depots, each grain depot can hold 100,000 tons of grain.

"Boom!"

After the order to harvest was issued, 50,000 combine harvesters that had been preheated increased the output power of the engine, and a thick black smoke came out of the outlet pipe, and the machine was started, and 50,000 combine harvesters, under the operation of the agricultural mechanic, hit the wheat field, turned the sickle arm, and collected the golden crops into the machine.

The working face of a harvester is more than four meters, 50,000 large harvesters, lined up in a line, the length of the working face has reached more than 200 kilometers, so many harvesters work together, people can see that on the ground, 50,000 harvesters like giant beasts. swallowed this sea of golden grain into his belly, and the rumbling sound was deafening. The harvest was a sight to behold.

"Oh~Oh~!"

The people of the blue star standing on the ridge jumped with joy, because their conspicuous blue complexion, crowded on the ridge, is also like a blue ocean, and the golden grain field, reflecting each other. On the vast and flat Big 6, a unique scenery is formed.

"Click"

Dawn from the ability space. Took out more than a dozen rune cameras (this kind of camera, which is a rune camera designed by Tianming himself, uses rune locking technology, which can be used in an instant. Tens of billions of pixels were locked into a negative less than the size of a postage stamp, and the clarity of the photos was taken with the same level as any camera on the earth), and hundreds of photos were taken at various heights such as high altitude, mid-air, and ground, and at various angles such as oblique angles, elevation angles, and depression angles.

……

These days, Tianming is busy with grain harvesting work in Blue Mercury.

Nearly 300 million acres of grain fields, more than 10 kinds of crops. There are many types of harvesters used, and more importantly, after each distance of harvesting work. The granary is stored, and the grain needs to be vacated and pumped to the crawler grain transport vehicle at the back, and then the grain transport vehicle will transport the grain to the grain depot.

In this way, the efficiency is okay at first. 50,000 harvesters can harvest 50 million mu of grain fields in one day.

But the problem immediately followed. Because the grain fields are planted along the holy river, from upstream to downstream, in the process of harvesting all the way, just like the painter who paints the zebra crossing on the high highway, the painter is getting farther and farther away from the paint bucket, and the harvester is working in the process of getting farther and farther away from the granary.

Moreover, these harvesters are driven by burning diesel, and in the process of working, they need to replenish diesel, but the harvesters have run hundreds of kilometers away, and it is so difficult to replenish diesel...... Of course, the diesel is delivered by the Blue Star people in a special vehicle, but this process will take more and more people and time.

Of course, the most important problem to be solved is the problem of long-distance transportation and storage of grain.

Cheng Fangwen said to Tianming with an anxious face: "The current plan is to build some granaries on both sides of the grain field to accommodate the grain harvested from afar, or increase the number of transport vehicles to transport the grain back, and this problem must be solved as much as possible, because the weather shows that in a few days there will be a sea storm sweeping 6 places, and it is likely to pass through the grain producing areas, and the current grain fields are basically mature, and if they are not all harvested, there will definitely be a large-scale reduction in production!" ”

Tianming frowned and thought for a while, and suddenly said with a flash of inspiration: "There are too many granaries, management is a big trouble, it's better to do this, I will build 10,000 space boxes with a capacity of about 10,000 cubic meters, and let the Blue Star people take these space boxes, follow the harvester, and receive the harvested grain into the space box in time, won't this solve the problem of grain transportation and storage?" ”

Cheng Fangwen's eyes widened, and he immediately gave a thumbs up, and said excitedly: "Okay!" This method is good, just use the space box to pack food! ”

On the same day, Tianming made 10,000 space boxes out, and then found 5,000 Blue Star priests, and asked them to hold two space boxes by themselves, follow behind the ten harvesters, and complete the work of collecting food.

With the space box, the work progress of the combine harvester has been greatly accelerated, from west to east, all the way to the wild, a total of less than ten days, 300 million acres of grain fields, all harvested.

After the harvest was completed, the 50 granaries in the upper reaches of the holy river that could store 100,000 tons were all full, not only that, because the grain production was too large, the grain warehouses were not enough, and the remaining grain was all packed in the 10,000 space boxes that were collected. Tianming counted that about 7,000 of these space boxes were full, and a space box could hold about 10,000 tons of grain.

In this way, the total grain output of 300 million mu of grain fields is higher than Cheng Fangwen's estimate.

In order to deal with these grains, Tianming left 20 million tons of grain in Blue Mercury and brought 30 million tons of grain to Red Giant, as for the remaining 70 million tons of grain, Tianming found Secretary He and sold it all to the state at a preferential price of 1,000 yuan a ton.
