Chapter 43: Developing Soma
A month after subduing the ancestor of the blood clan, Soma ushered in a new peak. The church has absorbed talents from all walks of life around the world and sent them to Soma through channels. With the full support of King Z's family, Soma's foundation work has finally come to an end.
Food processing factories, textile factories, steel factories and other basic factories, these most basic factories of light industry and heavy industry are the driving force that can promote the rapid development of Soma. A country without these industries everything is a floating cloud, because these industries are the foundation of all high technology.
The headache is naturally related to food, and now most of Soma's food is purchased from abroad, most of which comes from King Z's family. But this does not solve the problem fundamentally, although the people of Soma can eat so that they will not starve to death, but this is ultimately subject to people. This system is too weak, and if something goes wrong, Zuihou Soma will definitely collapse.
This problem was also reported to Zhang Xiaojian.
In the Solri Temple, Zhang Xiaojian looked at a report in front of him and shook his head. This report was handed to him by Zhou Jue. It is hoped that Zhang Xiaojian, as the Pope, can pray for a miracle to speed up the growth cycle of grain, so as to quickly establish a grain production area. Because of the perennial war, about 60% of Soma's arable land has been abandoned, and it is very difficult to reclaim it.
"It's okay to reclaim all these fields, it's okay to speed up the food cycle, the biggest problem is that it won't last long." When Zhang Xiaojian saw this report, he immediately came to a conclusion that it was somewhat unrealistic. The main soul has not yet been officially canonized as a god, so there is no priesthood, and without a priesthood, there is no bonus in the relevant field.
The three most important parts of a god are divided into, divine fire, divine personality, and priesthood, and the secondary is the kingdom of God. The priesthood is the embodiment of the functions and areas involved in the control of a deity. It is equivalent to the ability of the gods, such as the agricultural priesthood, and there will be bonuses in agriculture-related fields, such as increasing the yield of crops in the god's belief territory by 20%.
Of course, the use of related divine skills by gods will be more powerful, and this bonus is terrifying, a god who has not yet condensed the priesthood and a god who has a priesthood. Both of them are unified strength, the same divine power, and the gods with the priesthood can easily defeat the gods without the condensed priesthood.
The more powerful the priesthood, the more powerful the deity will be. Just like the priesthood of agriculture and the priesthood of life, the former is far inferior to the latter.
Now the main soul does not have a priesthood, so if you want to speed up the growth cycle of crops, it will take a lot of divine power, and it can be maintained in the short term, but it is impossible to maintain it for a considerable period of time.
Therefore, the most important thing now is not to shorten the growth cycle of grain, but to make it the same, that is, drought tolerance, low water demand, etc. Crops with high yields. Africa's food is mainly rice and corn, of which half of Africa's rice is imported from abroad, just like the current Soma, but Soma is more serious, 80% of the domestic has to be imported.
Soma's self-produced food is simply not enough to feed a quarter of the country's population, and the biggest reason is that in addition to the warlord war, Soma has too many people and little land. Even if all the wasteland in Soma is reused. Soma still can't just give self-sufficiency, at most two-thirds. Nearly two million people still need to import food
So the emergence of a new species could solve not only the food crisis in Soma, but also the food scarcity in Africa as a whole.
Such a move would raise the Church to a terrible height in the minds of the African people.
Zhang Xiaojian also relaxed when he thought of this, and now it was time for the main soul to help transform a species. The need to sustain and speed up the growth cycle of crops is enormous, but the power required to modify a species may be just as great. But it only takes one time. Moreover, it takes a long time to maintain the growth cycle of crops, and as the area covered increases, the divine power required will also become enormous.
"Someone!" Zhang Xiaojian shouted softly, he needed to report this matter to Zhou Jue. Let him be prepared to free up enough fertile land to save time.
"Your Majesty!" The door to the study opened, and a knight of destiny walked in from outside, half-bent over, and saluted respectfully.
"You go and forward this letter to Cardinal Zhou Jue." Zhang Xiaojian picked up the letter and put it in the envelope and handed it to the knight of destiny. Now the guards in the temple are mainly Knights of Destiny, and there should have been dark knights guarding the temple, but the Dark Riders have to guard the holy mountain. Zhang Xiaojian also let this matter be put on hold for the time being, and then let the dark rider transfer from the holy mountain later.
The knight hurriedly took the envelope and respectfully retreated.
"At the speed of the main soul, it should take a week to transform a suitable crop." Zhang Xiaojian muttered, he had already told the main soul about the transformation of a high-yield crop that could adapt to the environment of Africa through the connection with the main soul. The rest is up to the Lord's soul.
Zhang Xiaojian's eyes looked out the window, the port of Sori was becoming more and more prosperous, the population was increasing, and a night market was formed, which was lively all day. It's hard to imagine that just a few months ago Sogang was a poor and exploited by warlords.
And now the atmosphere of faith is getting stronger and stronger, and the atmosphere of the city and religion is harmoniously mixed together.
……
"The basic facilities of Luxi and Filip have been restored, and the basic enterprises have also completed the construction, and now we will wait for the construction of the Papal Palace in Luxi City, and then the founding ceremony." Zhou Jue looked at a report from the two cities in his hand.
At present, only four cities in Soma, including Luxi, Fili and Soma, have been re-established, and the communication of the whole Soma can be restored in the near future.
Of course, the re-establishment of the communication facilities alone cost a huge amount of money, and in just a few months, it will naturally cost even more. How many of Soma's more than 10 million people now know about these industries, so most of these workers are from various countries.
At this time, a letter was handed over, and Zhou Jue looked at the golden holy emblem on the envelope, and suddenly the whole person changed and became very serious. He carefully opened the envelope and read the letter carefully. After a long time, he got up, "His Majesty the Pope has thought of a much better solution than me, thank you, Lord!" ”
He hurriedly got up and walked out of this lounge, outside was the center of Luxi City, and he looked at the papal palace that was about to be built with a huge splendor, and the sense of joy became stronger and stronger.
"When the Lord gives that crop, it's like a great miracle!" The smile on Zhou Jue's face was even bigger, he hurriedly went to prepare, now not a minute is allowed to be wasted, for the church to be strong, what is needed is time. The Church does not have the three major churches of the Holy See, Buddhism, and Islam to have thousands of years of precipitation and a huge heritage, which can be wasted.
Zhou Jue has been able to yujian how powerful the church will be in the future.
……
In the idol space, more and more of the power of faith is condensed into a liquid state and falls on the ground of the idol space, and the ground of the idol space at this moment has been piled up into a sea of liquid formed by the power of faith, and sometimes it will set off waves like an ocean.
There are more and more distracting thoughts in the sky, releasing colorful light at all times, making the entire statue space like a dream. In the center of the statue space, a huge throne is suspended. Tuo sat on it, emitting divine light from his body, supporting the entire space.
In front of Tuo was a sweet potato. The chains of faith composed of divine texts were inserted into the sweet potato, and the tentacles that were so small as smaller than the cells of the sweet potato were split into the DND of each cell of the sweet potato. He was ready to transform the sweet potato in front of him.
Sweet potatoes are the highest single yield crops on the planet, reaching 10,000 catties per mu, that is, five tons. That's a terrible number. Of course, this is not enough for Africa, where the land is barren, and even if you grow sweet potatoes, you can't achieve such a high yield.
What Tuo has to do now is to modify the genes of sweet potatoes. This will allow sweet potatoes to be grown on a large scale in Africa, and the yield will be much more, at least doubling.
This is easy in Tu Lau's opinion, although he is not a true god, he can be regarded as an imaginary god, he already has some of the power of a god, and of course the most fundamental thing of the god, that is, transformation and creation. Now the body of the deputy soul Zhang Xiaojian was created by him. Of course, there are also tricks.
First of all, the sweet potato needs less water, and let the leaves of the sweet potato expand, and add new things to it, so that it can speed up the efficiency of the photosynthetic reaction, which will naturally increase to one to three times. and allows its stems and leaves to absorb moisture from the air. This solves the water requirement of sweet potatoes.
And according to the characteristics of some plants, add to this sweet potato.
Toulo's virtual godhead is frantically calculating, and the power of faith pours into the godhead and transforms into divine power, and then flows into the sweet potato through the godhead for transformation.
Although this new sweet potato has been modified, it still has to go through a period of experimentation in case something goes wrong. The next time is also the most consuming of divine power. This made Tulrot frown slightly.
"That's more than the amount of divine power consumed in Jihua." Tulo instantly calculated the next need for the god Liliang, and of course this did not stop him from continuing. Naturally, he knew that this was at stake for his church's position in Africa.
Tulo didn't hesitate, he instantly swung out a large piece of divine power, directly created a void creation, created a piece of land in front of him, and once again used the transformed haode sweet potato as a template, and used divine power to carve hundreds of sweet potatoes and plant them in the land in front of him. Then use divine power to speed up its growth cycle.
During the growth of the sweet potato, Tullor had to use his godhead to calculate the negative side and make changes. (To be continued......)
