707 Super Crops
In the northeast corner fortress where he was stationed, Grande gave Yang Yinuan a welcome banquet.
Some of the recently promoted middle and low-ranking officers all came to the banquet.
In addition to these soldiers, what made Yang Yinuan happiest was that he also saw Grumman at the banquet.
Since this guy was brought out of the underground base in Gaojiabao, he hasn't had a day of honesty.
At first, he stayed with Yang Yuanqing for a period of time in Qianshan City.
also followed Yang Yuanqing to repair and sort out the mechanical equipment that Yang Yinuan brought from Lanxing.
But soon he couldn't sit still, so he selected a dozen young men from the city who were quite excited and took them as his apprentices.
In addition, I found some local hunter guides, and then went out into the field to explore.
In his words, he wants to find out what has become of modern-day Falken.
He wanted to look for crops that were suitable for domestication and to understand the current ecosystem.
And then this walk, it's a few months.
Of course, this guy has been away for so long, and he didn't go on an outing for nothing.
During this period of field exploration, he really found a lot of good things.
For example, in a valley on the outskirts of Qianshan City, dozens of kilometers to the west, he found an iron mine with good taste.
It is precisely because of this iron ore that their steel plant in Qianshan City now has a steady stream of raw materials to ensure the output of 300,000 tons of steel every Chinese New Year's Eve.
And on the east road of the Qianshan Mountain Range, ten kilometers away from Qianshan City, he also found a coal mine.
In addition, some lime mines, clay mines and other mineral resources have been found.
It is precisely because of these mines that he found that he ensured the rapid progress of industry in Qianshan City during this time.
At the same time, he also replanned the pastures around Qianshan City.
For example, in the original meadows, he introduced a new batch of grass species, such as alfalfa grass, which is rich in plant protein.
There are also a variety of wild grasses that cattle and sheep like to eat, these wild grasses are rich in various vitamins and minerals, and the most important thing is that some wild grasses also have medicinal value.
These cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks bred in Qianshan City, after eating such forage, in addition to ensuring adequate nutrition and strong body, the key is that they will rarely get sick.
In addition, he found a native bean species in the wild, which is actually this bean.
It was thousands of years ago, the Falken people who entered the interstellar age, after exploring multiple planets.
A super bean derived from their native beans, combined with legumes from many other planets, and then cross-bred.
Just like the almighty soybeans on the Blue Star, this super hawkeye bean, before the Falken Star encountered the end of the world, was one of the most popular foods, and industrial ingredients.
True, this bean is very versatile.
First of all, because it is rich in plant protein, this bean can be used as food for humans.
It can also be used as a food additive after extracting oil and industrial processing.
Just like the almighty soybeans on Blue Star, the nutritional value is even higher than that of soybeans, and the function is more powerful than soybeans.
So the people of Falken back then regarded this kind of beans as a staple food.
In terms of industry, this kind of bean can also be used as a chemical raw material to make various industrial products.
For example, fuel oil, lubricating oil, various biological agents, chemical products, etc., are inseparable from this bean.
It's just that because the Falkenians have encountered the battle of the end times, there is a fault line in civilization.
Therefore, this kind of bean cultivation and industrial development technology has not been systematically handed down.
Over the millennia, many of the bean's virtues have been degraded.
And this time, Grumman found the bean seed of this bean, and crossed this bean with the soybeans brought by Yang Yinuan.
I'm going to be raising a whole new batch of super crops, but it's going to take time......
For the super crop he said, Yang Yi was not in a hurry.
It's just that this time I was able to meet Grumman in Qixingzhai, which made Yang Yinuan very happy.
And in the following talks, he found out.
It turns out that the agricultural technology experts of the current generation of Qixingzhai are this guy.
The technicians who haunted the fields were his apprentices.
"Haha, that's good, Grumman, you're doing very well, but you can't just walk around for the rest of the year!"
"Oh? Your Excellency, why is that? ”
Grumman, who was full of beard, said that he didn't understand Yang Yinuan's statement.
Yang Yinuan smiled and shook his head: "That's the case!" In two days, Grande will follow me on a westward expedition. ”
"So there must be someone I trust here in Qixingzhai, and this person must be you!"
Grumman heard Yang Yinuan say this, so he didn't say anything more.
Although he is essentially a scientist, not a bureaucrat, if he is really allowed to run a city.
For him, it wasn't a problem.
Although he didn't like this kind of work, he was okay with it after only a few months of working on the shift.
What's more, in the recent past, he really wants to stay here, knowing that the local farmers have completed the autumn harvest.
And count the number of autumn harvests, and then consider the mistakes he made in this year's agricultural extension.
It will be revised and summarized in the coming year!
So during this time, it is not a big problem to stay in Qixingzhai and serve as the highest governor for a period of time.
"Grande, this time you lead the troops and set off with me!"
"No problem, Your Excellency, Commander!"
was originally a clone soldier, and Grande has always been looking forward to accompanying Yang Yinuan to the west!
"By the way, Your Excellency Commander, how many troops are we going to take with us?"
"Five thousand! Three thousand is a bit too little. The remaining 5,000 people will stay in Qixingzhai first. ”
"As for the 10,000 reserves, we must hurry up and train them out, and then transfer them back to Thousand Mountains City."
"During this time, we are not here, only Yang Yuanqing and Grumman are in charge of these two cities."
"They are all civilian officials, you and I are not here, I am not very relieved."
Yang Yinuan said what he was worried about, and Grande also nodded.
It is true that with the rapid expansion of the population of the two cities, it is indeed a bit unreassuring that there are only such a few soldiers.
The real garrison on the other side of Thousand Hills City is only 3,000 people, and these people still live mainly in the fortress.
In Thousand Mountains City, there are only 5,000 people maintaining order in that city.
Of these, 3,000 were policemen, and 2,000 were Yang Yuanqing's personal guards......
The number of direct forces that can be mobilized by the chief executive is less than 10,000, which is indeed a bit too thin.
