Chapter 230: Large-scale Reclamation

I heard that this thing can take root in the land with serious desertification and sprout when thrown on stones, Gu Yi is looking forward to what kind of situation it will be if they are planted on the black soil where they can grab a handful of bluestone collars and pinch out oil

Gu Yi was originally a fiery character, and while notifying the Wan merchants who sent this kind of green vine cassava, and urgently sent a large number of green vine cassava rhizomes, he began to organize people to open up the wasteland.

Anyway, the first season has been missed for almost a month, and it's too late to plant other crops, and all the land under the name of 丨Qingshi Ling丨 is all in an uncultivated wasteland state, so it's better to give this thing a try, and if it fails, it's a waste of a month, just to accumulate experience to catch up with the second season of planting.

With the full support of the cement plant, lime factory, and prefabricated panel factory, which has been expanded into a behemoth under the name of Tiangong Group, and there is an almost unlimited labor force for the people, the reclamation fortress has spread to the area beyond imagination in a short period of time.

Under Gu Yi's order, the construction speed of the Reclamation Fortress has increased several times again, and the Reclamation Fortress has been sent to the construction of batches of "Construction Corps".

In the cold winter, under the auspices of Gu Yi, the design, research and development, and production began, and after the successful trial production of the steam engine, various agricultural machinery was transformed again, and a large number of them were sent to various reclamation fortresses.

The area of fields in the territory is roughly estimated by Gu Yi to be about 47,500 square kilometers, but after excluding mountains, woodlands and lakes, the actual area is about ten times more than the estimated field area, that is, 500,000 square kilometers.

This is a huge, very terrifying area, and it is certainly impossible to complete the reclamation in a short period of time with manpower alone, even if the tactics of the sea of people are useless.

Therefore, Gu Yi does not engage in those old ways of developing from scratch, from the very beginning, he has been planning to directly carry out large-scale agricultural mechanization development, so as to rack his brains to get a large number of steam engines and agricultural machinery with various functions.

These monster-like giant machines that look strange, with teeth and claws, adopt the most primitive mechanical structure, use the most primitive steam power, and even semi-automatic and semi-artificial, but after testing, the functions of these stupid and coarse guys can already meet the most basic requirements of Gu Yi.

The effect of these black technology agricultural machinery, of course, can not catch up with Gu Yi's original advanced agricultural machinery in the world, whether it is efficiency or function, it is enough to reach one-fifth ⊥of Gu Yi's relief, but compared with the agricultural level of the Great Wilderness world, these black technology agricultural machinery is as radiant as an artifact.

The most classic is the creative black technology machinery that Gu Yi has made up, such as: 丨Steam Ox Modification丨Tractor Excavator Shovel, 丨Turning Dragon 1 Type丨Multi-functional Integrated Plough Rotary Cultivator, as well as 丨Gripper Dragon 1 Type丨Row Multi-knife Deep Ploughing Steam Plow, 丨Centipede 1 Type丨Steam Drive Self-propelled Combine Harvester, Seeder, Watering Machine, Fertilizer Applicator, Automatic Baler, Threshing Machine, Thresher...

When these "bald" monsters with black smoke and four legs, eight claws, fangs and claws appeared in front of the subordinates, I heard that one day the vast majority of people peed on their crotch and walked all the way, and the people along the way kowtowed.

Under Gu Yi's order, the 1.5 million "engineers" of the "Trapped-Field Brigade", with the newly promoted recruits of the "Reserve Field Brigade", were scattered into the wilderness, and they will carry out a three-month field combat training mission, adopt round-up hunting, and capture the animals in the wilderness alive if they can be captured alive, domesticated and raised, and exterminate those who cannot be captured alive.

Wild horses, wild asses, wild buffalo, wild deer, wild sheep, wild boars, wild wolves, wild foxes, wild badgers, wild beavers, hares, pheasants, wild ducks, wild sparrows, wild rats, wild flies... Well, forget about flies, but Gu Yi, a wild mouse in the wilderness, has seen that the fat heads and big ears are bigger than cats, they are not picky eaters and reproduce quickly, and their fur is also good, and they are also a source of meat

Anyway, it is all animals that can move, Gu Yi does not plan to let go, it is cruel to say, but Gu Yi really doesn't like these animals running around, he still prefers to put them all in cages and raise them intensively

The huge "Construction Corps", closely following the hunting group of the Trap Field Brigade, was also scattered into the wilderness, and their task was to collect and transplant any valuable wild crops, medicinal herbs, and trees in the wilderness for centralized planting.

At the same time, when the "Construction Corps" went there, it built the Reclamation Fortress and the Agricultural Sixth-level Horse Road there, until it spread all over the bluestone collar.

There are also a large number of accompanying prospecting teams, according to the information fed back by the "Construction Corps" that spreads out the net, to find out all kinds of mineral deposits that may exist in the wilderness, whether it is porcelain clay or clay, or Yu Crisp is a special stone, for 丨Tiangong Group丨, as long as the existing technology can be used, there is nothing to waste.

After these locust-like teams swept the wasteland inch by inch, the first batch of "Reclamation Workers" with as many as 10 million people followed behind those monster-level "Steam Mechanic" agricultural machinery, and began to dig three feet into the ground and diligently turn over the wasteland eight times.

In the past, the steam-driven self-propelled combine harvester harvested and bundled the wild grasses all over the mountains and fields, and stored them into fermented green fodder, ready to be used to raise various wild animals caught by the hunting group.

In the second wave丨Steam ox modified excavators丨In the past, large stones that may damage machinery were dug out and piled up in a concentrated manner, which could be used to build a desert fortress or agricultural horse road.

The third wave丨Steam ox modified bulldozer丨In the past, fill in the depressions, dig up the hills, and pave the way for the large combined agricultural machinery behind.

The fourth wave丨Grip Dragon 1 - Row of multi-knife deep ploughing steam plows丨In the past, the black soil that has been in a primitive state for hundreds of millions of years and is close to one meter deep on the surface has been turned upside down.

The fifth wave丨Centipede Type 1 - steam-driven self-propelled combined fertilizer applicator丨In the past, the farmhouse manure mixed with cooked gypsum powder was sprinkled into the soil from a large number of biogas digesters in Bluestone City.

The sixth wave丨Ploughing Dragon 1 - multi-functional integrated plough rotary tiller丨In the past, the large pieces of compacted soil were beaten into loose soil powder, and at the same time, the farmhouse manure was buried deep in the soil as a base fertilizer.

Seventh Wave ...... Eighth Wave ...... The whole process is done, well, change the position, and do it again

Because only one tree can be planted within the range of one acre of green vine cassava, the combined seeder is useless, and it can only be planted by manpower.

It is impossible to complete the reclamation and planting of 500,000 square kilometers in a short period of time, but fortunately, there is no sowing season for green vine cassava.

The biogas dregs that originally gave Gu Yi a headache were consumed in this reclamation operation, so he didn't have to worry about how to deal with those stinky things.

But the problem is that he suddenly found that the fertilizer produced by the biogas digester of the bluestone collar was not enough for much land, so that in a place far away from the bluestone city, Yu Crisp omitted the process of putting the bottom fertilizer.

However, this situation made Gu Yi have to consider whether it is necessary to study soil fertilizer, relying on farm fertilizer alone, if you want to carry out this kind of large-scale planting, it is simply not enough.

The most ridiculous thing for Gu Yi is that because of the transportation problem, the biogas fertilizer is used in the closest area to Bluestone City, and as a result, the whole area has been filled with a terrible smell for a long time, and the workers who have begun to get used to the good sanitary environment of Bluestone City are complaining.

Moreover, those famous craftsmen, seeing that Gu Yi buried all those dirty things in the soil, almost collapsed, and rushed to him one by one to find him desperately, because in the great wilderness, there is no such thing as using fertilizer at all, and it is completely dependent on the native growth of crops.

Gu Yi, who couldn't explain it clearly to them, asked them to test it by themselves, open two test fields, fertilize and not fertilize respectively, and then discuss this problem with him when the harvest is the last.

Due to various factors such as transportation, agricultural machinery and equipment, planting technology, etc., it is impossible to use all 500,000 square kilometers of land in a short period of time.

Gu Yi is a hard worker, just after arranging the cultivation of the wasteland, the team of the hunting group began to drive back the various wild animals captured batch by batch, and he had to devote himself to another round of intense work.

Fortunately, when he issued the arrest order, the construction of the large-scale breeding park had already begun, and the feed was also stored in the early stage of land reclamation, so there was no need to worry about the starvation of these captured animals.

The famous craftsmen who were originally idle to catch lice, and the beast workers, finally had something to do now, but suddenly they had to go from a leisurely life to keep up with Gu Yi's fast work progress, and they almost didn't tire out these famous craftsmen who were already young.
