Chapter 337: Reclamation of the Grand Canyon
Although it has only grown for more than a month, and it looks a little sluggish because the growth environment is a very predatory grass fruit, from the narrow leaves and emerald green branches, Wang Hao can see at a glance that this is corn undoubtedly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
There are only about 40 corn seedlings, and the land on which they are planted has not been trimmed.
Fortunately, the land of the wilderness is particularly suitable for the growth of plants, otherwise, it is difficult to say whether these corns can germinate in the weeds.
Wang Hao learned about the situation in the underground world from the mouths of the Gollums, and the Gollums were also inquiring about the news of the ground from Wang Hao.
At the beginning, Ishimura planned to establish a third-level tribe, which triggered a monster siege.
When the poisonous insects and poisonous snakes cross the river, a large part of them are washed into the underground world by the river because they are not familiar with the water.
It was precisely because of the appearance of these highly poisonous things that the Gollum Clan sent these dozens of Gollum to the surface world to find the reason.
The Gollums who first came to the surface were not limited to this, there were many of them.
However, as soon as they came ashore, they were attacked by creatures who were so attached to carrion that they were reluctant to leave.
If it weren't for the countless carrion in Ishimura at that time for those beasts to eat, plus the fact that these Gollums knew a little bit about flying, I'm afraid they would have died long ago.
Later, with the help of the caves and stones of the stone village, a strong fortress was built, and it took more than ten days to wait until the beasts had retreated from here.
The death of their companions gave them a glimpse of the cruelty of the surface world.
This led them to make the decision to build a bone trap after seeing Wang Hao and his party.
When the white bone trap they relied on couldn't stop Wang Hao's footsteps.
The Grand Canyon is destined to no longer be able to shelter them.
The Grand Canyon is home to the people of Stone Village, and the only remaining population of Stone Village, including the son of their patriarch, now lives in Wang Village.
Therefore, the Grand Canyon is now Wangcun's.
When Wang Hao addressed them as guests and entertained them with food. They understood that if they wanted to continue to live here, instead of being kicked out by Wang Hao, then they had to come up with something that could impress Wang Hao.
Especially when they learned about the dangers of the surface world from Wang Hao's mouth, they wanted to impress Wang Hao's mind, and they became even stronger.
The Gollums didn't know how important their building skills were to Wang Hao.
Therefore, these more than forty corn plants brought from the underground world and now have taken root and sprouted in the Great Wilderness have become the last bargaining chips in their hands to impress Wang Hao.
Therefore, when they saw Wang Hao's ecstatic expression on his face when facing the corn, the joy in their hearts was actually more than Wang Hao's.
When Wang Hao pulled out the weeds next to the corn seedlings one by one.
One of the Gollum groups was selected, and the eldest Gollum finally mustered up the courage and told Wang Hao that they were willing to exchange these corn seedlings for one to join Wang Village and then obtain the qualification for Wang Village's asylum.
After listening to this Gollum's words, although Wang Hao couldn't understand why they were more anxious than himself, it didn't affect Wang Hao's agreement to their request.
Wang Hao had already coveted their architectural skills, and planned to find an opportunity to pull them into the clan.
Although they all joined Wang Village in the end, there was a big difference between Wang Hao inviting them and Gollum taking the initiative to ask to join Wang Village.
The Gollums from the underworld, the matter of joining the Wang Village is confirmed.
Because of the difference in appearance, and because it was requested by the Gollums, although the Gollums joined the Royal Village, they only have the right to live in the Royal Village.
In other words, the Gollums are protected by the royal village and live in the royal village, but they do not enjoy the status of residents.
The most fundamental reason why Wang Hao was able to come to the Grand Canyon in person was for the planting of the Grand Canyon.
The appearance of corn can only be regarded as the icing on the cake, and in the future, the people of Hwaseong will have one more choice in terms of diet.
The Gollum are not a farming race.
These dozens of corn plants were just seeds that were sprinkled by the members of them on a whim and fearing that they would starve to death in the future.
Compared to a large tribe like Wangcun, more than 40 corn plants, even if they are all used as seeds after maturity, the number is too small.
But fortunately, after Wang Hao's inquiry, and after the search of these gollum who had just joined Wang Village, they really found five or six more corn cobs that had not been eaten.
With tools such as hoes and shovels, it became very easy to reclaim the land in the Great Wilderness.
In just a short period of time, under the command of Wang Hao, the Black Armor Army reclaimed a piece of land, and the corn kernels on these corn cobs were also carefully rubbed off, and then planted neatly into the soil.
Five or six corn cobs, if the germination rate is a little higher, it is equivalent to hundreds of more corn trees in Wang Village.
In this way, when the next corn is ripe, Wang Village will have enough corn to plant.
On Earth, reclamation was a very laborious task, especially when machinery did not exist.
However, for the people of the Great Wilderness, reclamation is a very easy thing.
More than 60 acres of wheat were harvested from the ruins of the ancient city.
Because of the special environment of the Great Wilderness, the growth of these wheats is very amazing. It has reached a yield of 1,000 catties per mu.
If more than 60,000 catties of wheat are used as seeds, and the method of single sowing is adopted, then less than 10 catties of seeds are needed for one acre of land.
In other words, the wheat seeds in Wang Village can be planted with 6,000 acres of land this time.
In Wang Hao's opinion, the act of putting all the eggs in the same basket is stupid.
Therefore, although the climate and environment of the Grand Canyon are very suitable for wheat sowing, Wang Hao did not plan to put all the wheat seeds into it in the first year. Wang Hao planned that the first batch of wheat in the Grand Canyon would only grow 3,000 catties.
If all goes well, the first wheat will be ready to be harvested when it snows.
At that time, it was not a problem to expand the planting area in the Grand Canyon.
The Grand Canyon is huge, and there is only one river in the innermost part.
However, judging from the growth of grass and fruits, where the river does not flow, the underground water source should be very abundant.
But just in case, in addition to setting aside 50 acres of experimental land at the farthest point from the river, Wang Hao planned to open the remaining 2,000 acres of land near the river.
At the beginning, the stone village was fed by the grass and fruits of the Grand Canyon.
If it weren't for the fact that the yield of grass fruit is too low, and the taste is not very good. Wang Hao was really reluctant to eradicate it.
Three thousand acres of land were divided by Wang Hao.
The measuring tool is a fifty-meter long hemp rope with markings.
After digging a fire ditch, the grass and fruits in the 3,000 acres of soil, and the stems and leaves left after picking made Wang Hao burn them all.
