Chapter 310: Ecology
Grabbing 1214-B01's heel and trying to pull it out of the pit, Chen Shi saw that it had eaten a face of dirt, and couldn't help but ask helplessly, "I told you to run, but what did you run into the pit?" ”
"Yes, yes......" 1214-B01 spat out sand, grabbed the breathing mask that had fallen off, and stammered to say something, but was interrupted by Chen Shi: "Okay, let's leave for the time being, and we'll talk about it later." ”
Ran Xiang and everyone over there followed, probably not understanding what happened to 1214-B01.
"Let's go, let's not delay any longer."
Ran Xiang's tone was quite anxious, and Chen Shi also understood that there was no room for delay at this moment, so he nodded in agreement.
Soon, the two sides began to run on foot on the deserted land, and it was the biggest mistake that the other side did not attack the supply box, otherwise so much dry food would have been wasted...... Actually, there wasn't much, only ten days' worth left.
But Chen Shi was already afraid of what happened before, so no matter that the place could replenish water and food at any time, he didn't dare to give up the supply box carelessly, if possible, he wanted to replenish water and food at any time to prevent accidents.
Ran Xiang said before that this place would not be too far from the border of the Worm Country, and sure enough, the group didn't run for more than ten minutes before they saw the so-called border line.
"That's it...... The Land of Bugs? ”
It's different from what I imagined.
Along the way, he saw the desolate scene of the earth, and Chen Shi suddenly saw the green plants, and he felt different.
Bounded by a small river about ten meters wide and submerged to its knees, on the other side of the clear river is the land covered with green grass, while on the other side of the river is a cold "alien star" full of black gravel.
"Acid rain...... It also stopped. ”
Chen Shi looked up at the sky, except that the sky was still gloomy, and the smelly acid rain had disappeared unconsciously.
"Let's cross the river, we get to the border of the country of insects on the other side, but this does not mean absolute safety, the Association of Four has suffered a big loss, and may enter the territory of the country of insects regardless of the law, and we can only be considered completely safe when we arrive in the first city."
"Okay."
Where would Chen Shi object, since Ran Xiang said so, he would follow.
Only submerged to Chen Shi's knees to drink water, naturally there will be no hindrance to him, and Xingdian and Bingyu are both "women" with a height of one meter and seventy-seven, and this bit of river water is just up to the thighs, that is, 1214-B01 suffered a little loss, and the river water is almost submerged in its chest.
After crossing the river, everyone did not have time to breathe and rest, and immediately continued to move forward.
Chen Shi noticed the surrounding environment, maybe the temperature was still at a relatively cold level, Xingdian and Bingyu crossed the river and soaked the pants below, and they were a little cold and shivering when they walked.
"It's a bit like the subarctic coniferous forest climate of northern Canada......"
The hills that are not too high in the distance are undulating with each other, and the green grass spreads out like a carpet, and in terms of environment, not to mention the fairyland on earth, it is also a very beautiful place.
In comparison, the pollution of the ruined capital is so serious that many cities on the earth, which claim to be heavily polluted, have to bow their heads in shame when compared with the ruined capital.
Hurrying away, the first city of the Worm Country came into Chen Shi's eyes more than half an hour later.
In the middle of the cliff wall on both sides like a sharp blade, there is a cliff city that cannot be avoided, saying that it is a city, it is more like a castle standing on a cliff, and the track of the firefly train follows the verdant earth, slowly entering the ghostly natural stone bridge, and slowly entering the open castle gate, disappearing at the end of the gate.
"That's the Hanging Cliff of the Bug Country...... When you go in, you must be careful not to take off your breathing mask so as not to attract the attention of others. ”
Before entering the city, Ran Xiang was told a thousand times.
"Well, I'll tell them."
Chen Shi said casually.
He was still observing the city in the distance, and he found that in addition to the passage for the railroad to enter, there was a gravel-paved road next to the tracks, and the number of people entering and leaving was quite large, and some four-wheeled vehicles pulled by insects drove into the city.
The city is perched on a cliff with sharp towers, and I am afraid that it cannot accommodate too many people, and the maximum population is tens of thousands.
To go up, they had to descend slowly down the hill and then on a gravel path to merge with the flow of people.
"Ran Xiang, do you people of the four countries here need to verify their identities when they enter the city?"
He is still very interested in the social ecology here.
"If it's another country, you still need to register your identity and intentions, but if you're a native, you can move around the country at will."
Ran Xiang remembered that Chen Shi had asked a similar question before, and explained as he walked: "In the previous era, famine was a common thing, so countries did not allow people to leave their birthplace at will, and they had to cultivate in their birthplace for the rest of their lives; However, since the adventurers found a plant in the ruined capital that can multiply in large quantities and produce edible seeds in a short period of time, Shikoku is no longer short of food, so naturally there is no restriction on the freedom of the people. ”
"What plant is so powerful?"
Chen Shi had the illusion that the other party had found a sweet potato or a potato, no, these two foods were not so exaggerated.
"You can't see it here."
Ran Xiang smiled, and his face suddenly sank: "That's the plant we call 'Shenglan', only where there is water, according to the correct planting method, one stone can produce food for twenty people in a month......"
“……”
Chen Shi gasped, what is this concept?
One stone of land in the second language is about half an acre of land, and one acre of land is about 666 square meters, that is, the other party only needs more than 300 square meters of land to produce food for twenty people a year.
This is very exaggerated, now the earth's chemical fertilizer technology has been very developed, in the south of one acre of land to grow rice, a year is only 2,000 catties, but these two thousand catties of grain, can not feed 20 people.
If you are a person who does heavy work, without other sources of oil and water, you can eat two catties of rice a day [about four catties of rice after cooking], and you will need 730 catties of rice in a year, and 20 people will need 14,600 catties of rice.
Even modern people with plenty of oil and water can eat 200 grams of rice a day, and one acre of grain is still not enough for 20 people.
The key is that the other party's "raw orchid" only needs a month of planting time!
This is no longer an exaggeration, but an unbelievable thing.
