Chapter 111: The City

In this way, with such a miraculous plant, isn't there a great abundance of food in these four countries?

In other words, even in the 21st century, food will not be abundant enough for everyone to eat and drink as much as they want. I didn't expect it to be done in this world.

Ran Xiang seemed to be able to feel Chen Shi's emotion beside him, and he said with a wry smile: "You don't think that with 'Shenglan', we can sit back and relax, right?" ”

"Isn't it?" Chen Shi asked rhetorically: "You can eat as much as you want, even if you have troubles, it's other problems, right?" ”

The productivity of this kind of grain is so appalling that no matter how much it is controlled, it will make the price of food very low.

"No, Sheng Lan is not perfect."

Speaking of this, Ran Xiang had a gloomy face: "Its requirements for the land will not be too high, but its damage to the land is the strongest, once the orchid is planted, after a few harvests, not only the fertility of the land, but the entire land planted with the orchid will be gravel." ”

"What do you mean?"

"Haven't you seen the scene of us all the way here?"

Ran Xiang sighed: "Shenglan was discovered from the Ruined Capital, so it was first planted around the Ruined Capital. ”

"Wouldn't it, Sheng Lan is so powerful?"

Chen Shi was taken aback, he also thought that the desolate land around the ruined capital was a special geographical factor, but he didn't expect to learn a cruel truth from Ran Xiang's mouth, which turned out to be man-made.

"The land that has been planted by Shenglan will become that ghost, and it will be impossible to recover."

Ran Xiang said.

"If that's the case, the gains outweigh the losses, so you still continue to grow raw orchids?"

Chen Shi said in shock.

"There is no way to stop, Sheng Lan can make everyone no longer worry about food, and if you return to the original way of cultivation, more than half of the people will starve to death, which is unacceptable to Shikoku."

"Land is always limited, and the path that goes against sustainable development will eventually lead to destruction, and if you are not decisive, everyone will die."

"So we're looking for a way to find a new kind of food like raw orchid, maybe we can avoid such harm."

Although the problem is very big, Ran Xiang's face is not particularly worried: "Actually, there is no need to worry too much, Sheng Lan's destructive power to the land is indeed very strong, but it will also produce a lot of food, the four countries have already surveyed, with the current population, the current land, we don't have to worry about it in the next thousand years." ”

Ran Xiang said: "A thousand years of time, how can it be enough for us to solve these problems, not to mention, we can also expand to the periphery, those wisdom species occupy a lot of high-quality land, if we can take those lands, let alone a thousand years, three thousand years will not be a problem." ”

As soon as he said this, Chen Shi understood, just like human beings, even though he knew that human production activities would damage the environment and be detrimental to future human development, it would be a hundred years from now, so not many people would worry about it.

Comparatively speaking, human beings are not worried about the next hundred years, but the people of Shikoku have a thousand years, how can they be too worried?

Rather than worrying about this, it is better to worry about the existence of "divine remains" in this place, and one day suddenly wake up and destroy this layer.

In the same way, human beings should be more worried about war than about the environment.

Stepping into the gravel road, Chen Shi asked, "When you get here, you're probably safe, right?" ”

"Well, the Association of Four will not send personnel to catch up with them openly, but it is also impossible to say whether they will send personnel to secretly track down, everything depends on how much they know about your information."

Ran Xiang thought about it: "The firefly train has returned to the ruined capital, and there will be no more trains coming today, I suggest finding a car directly, and we will still rush to the destination as soon as possible." ”

"How long will it take to get from here to the border city you mentioned?"

"It takes about 10 days by train, and three days if it's a train, but we can take the Firefly train halfway, which will save us a lot of time."

"That's fine."

Chen Shi nodded in agreement.

Seeing that Chen Shi did not object, Ran Xiang naturally thought that he agreed with his opinion, so he stopped saying no more, and took Chen Shi to the cliff city over there.

The Cliff City is much smaller than the city of the Ruined Capital, but it is many times more lively, and the civilians of the Bug Country are dressed in different ways, but most of them are made of gray and black linen, and a few wear leather clothes, that is, adventurers.

In these four countries, adventurers are definitely similar to medieval knights, not only with extraordinary force, but also with much stronger financial resources than ordinary civilians, so to speak, they can be said to be superior, and because of the relics, adventurers have strange abilities, and in the eyes of civilians, not to get close to adventurers is the safest criterion.

So walking among the civilians, Chen Shi and his party can be said to be very conspicuous, and they knew at a glance that they were "adventurers", and the civilians avoided them one after another, and some of them even half-bowed their heads to express their awe.

However, it may be the existence of the "Shenglan" plant, which leads to the abundance of materials in this world, and there is indeed no shortage of food, Chen Shi found that these civilians are no matter how dirty their clothes are, their faces are also very ruddy, and their bodies are also very strong, and they have never been hungry at first glance.

It can make everyone eat a full stomach, no matter how "Shenglan" is endless, it cannot be abandoned, at least in the world of underdeveloped productivity, the advantages of the existence of "Shenglan" outweigh the disadvantages.

The stone road is on the left, the track of the firefly train is on the right, the gate to enter on the left is open, several people stand there, check the identity of everyone who enters the city at will, but the attitude is very perfunctory, not very strict, and when they see Ran Xiang and others coming, they have no intention of checking their identity, and they are let in like this with one eye closed.

"It seems that the inspection is not strict...... Sure enough, there is a foreign enemy who exterminates the race, even if there is a grit between the four countries, they are still united in the general direction, and they can eat everywhere, so there will be no problem of displaced people, and the inspection of the population will not be too severe. But this shouldn't last long...... Whether it is the war, or the further development of society. ”

Chen Shi's gaze never stopped, carefully examining the surrounding environment, and after entering the city, the tracks of the train crossed and entered a building, as if swallowed by the black mouth of some monster.

The road for the civilians is on the left, and since the buildings of the city are close to each other and the road is relatively narrow, it can only be used for two bug carts to pass by, and often at this time, the civilians have to stop and try to stand on both sides of the road to make way in the middle.

The road is not too dirty, and there is a complete sewer system on both sides, so there is no stench of stagnant water.
