The few people didn't sigh for too long, they all knew that they had come here to solve problems, and during their visit to the village, Clark first proposed:

"When they went to farm, I didn't see any big machinery, of course, I also know that the large-scale mechanized agriculture in Mexico is concentrated in the northwest, and the rest of the country is relatively backward, but even if there is no large-scale mechanized equipment, there should always be machines to help farming, right? Not a single tractor? ”

Oliver crossed his arms and sighed and said: "Actually, there were originally, but there were only two, and they were very old tractors, which were purchased by the village community and rented for personal use, but since the drug lords took control of the land and sowed poppies, the tractors have been completely scrapped by no one to maintain them." ”

"So, now everyone is using the most primitive method of ploughing the land?" Diana asked.

"Not really, there are some big tools." With that, Oliver led the group to the warehouse on the side of the village, which was the only relatively large building in the village, and stored seeds and forage.

As soon as he walked in, Clark saw the familiar machine, it was a small cultivator, although it looked a little rusty, but it was still intact and did not affect its use.

Clark stepped forward to inspect the machine, but as soon as he walked over, he noticed that something was wrong, there were several ropes tied to the joints of the cultivator, and some straps were hanging from the front of the ropes.

Clarke's eyes widened slowly, and he pointed to the cultivator and said, "You can't pull this thing with oxen, do you?" ”

"How is that possible?" Oliver shrugged, and just as Clark was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Oliver said, "Sometimes horses are used." ”

Clark couldn't help but laugh, and he said, "Even if it is true that animal power is needed here, this kind of machine is hung on a tractor, and the depth and thickness of the blade are only suitable for high-powered tractors, and people or oxen can't pull it to the depth it should have." ”

Oliver looked at Clark in some surprise and asked, "You mean, what makes a difference pulling this thing?" ”

"Of course, this thing was originally designed for tractors, and you use oxen or horses to pull it, first, the direction of force is wrong, and second, the strength is not enough."

Clark smiled wryly and gestured, and said: "When the tractor is connected to the cultivator, the angle of the junction can be adjusted, and when ploughing, the tractor can also control the lifting or lowering of the cultivator through the parts of the connection." ”

"If you want to plough a little deeper, turn it this way." Clark stretched out his arms and gestured at the angle of the cultivator, and continued, "Even if you were to use an animal to pull it, the rope would be too long, and it would be too angled, and the blade would not be able to enter the ground, but only scratch the surface." ”

"If you just sprinkle the seeds in it, it is equivalent to exposing the seeds to the sun, the seeds will not absorb nutrients and water, and they will be dried quickly, the germination rate will be very low, and the yield will certainly not work."

Oliver covered his forehead and said: "These machines were purchased together with tractors, and the engines of tractors were broken, and the locals would not repair them, and they felt that these machines that did not need engines were the same when pulled with anything, so they switched to cows and horses, or even people." ”

"You can't blame the locals for that." Diana said, "When I first saw this thing, I didn't know what doorway was in it, I didn't even know that I could adjust the angle of it while sitting on a tractor, and I thought I had to get out of the car and break parts." ”

"I think there should still be a tractor." Bruce said, "Can you take me to see those two scrapped tractors?" ”

"You want to fix them?" Holding on to the side of the cultivator, Oliver sighed, shook his head and said, "I'm sure you might be able to fix them, but the problem is, just two tractors aren't much of a use." ”

Clark said as if he suddenly remembered something, "Oh, by the way, I haven't asked yet, how big is the experimental field you have drawn out?" How many fields do we have to plant? ”

"This is only experimental farming, and I was afraid that the spread would be too big to handle, so I set aside 3,000 acres of land first."

Clark gasped, he glared at Oliver, and said, "You're crazy, do you know how big 3,000 acres of pure land is?" That's more than 1,000 hectares! ”

"But we have a total of 70,000 acres of land." Oliver looked at Clark and said seriously, "If I could, I would love to let all the 70,000 acres of land be planted with food this year, and it was precisely because I knew that it was impossible, so I took a step back and prepared to try it with a small plot of land first." ”

Clark's face gradually became solemn, and Diana didn't know much about it, so she stepped forward to look at Clark and said, "What's the matter, is it difficult?" ”

"It's not difficult anymore, it's almost impossible." Clark shook his head and said, "Unless we use our special ability to plough the ground in a few days, and then I fly to scatter the seeds, it is almost impossible to complete the spring ploughing in such a short time with such a primitive way of working." ”

Clark shrugged his nose, poked his head out the door to see where the sun was, and said, "This is a tropical climate, the rainy season is coming soon, and when the first rain falls, the seeds will hardly have a chance to land, and we have to race against time." ”

Oliver immediately walked quickly to the door, took Clarke's arm and said, "Then what do you think is the right amount of land within our reach, I mean, within the reach of Mexican farmers?" ”

Before Clark could answer, Bruce walked up to Oliver and said, "I think you're thinking the wrong thing." ”

"I know, you mean to teach people to fish, and it doesn't make sense for the three of them to use their superpowers to plow the land, because the native Mexicans don't have superpowers, and they can't stay here every year to plow the land."

"But don't use superpowers, it doesn't mean to do it completely yourself, now the time is tight, the task is heavy, the starting point is low, but you want good results, in this case, it is impossible to completely do not rely on external forces, you need a start-up materials, even if these materials are not available every year, as long as the first year's dilemma is solved, self-sufficiency is much easier."

Oliver patted his head and said, "It's true, I'm too anxious, I want them to quickly master the method of planting a good field, but if they don't even have teaching tools, it's useless to be anxious." ”

In the dimly lit room, Oliver saw a light called wisdom in Bruce's eyes, and he was unconsciously attracted by Bruce's blue eyes, and then heard Bruce ask:

"What about the people who gave you help before?"

"They said they were waiting for my news...... You mean, let them come and provide us with this start-up capital? ”

"That's right." Bruce turned to look at Hal and said, "Remember what I said earlier?" This is a good time to test their abilities and true colors. ”

"So what do we want? Tractors? Hal asked.

"No, we want engines."

In his office on the top floor of Wayne Building, Thomas frowned as he held a report, and he whispered, "...... Engine? ”

"That's right, that's what they said." The male manager on the opposite side also frowned and said: "It's not weapons, it's not food, it's not even cars, they want engines, and they specifically specify high-horsepower engines." ”

"What do they want to do?" Thomas still whispered that he wasn't asking questions, but clearing his mind.

"They should know that we can't provide them with military engines, then, the most used engine in the civilian market is vehicles, but if they need transportation, then they can directly ask for money to buy a car, even if it is some special vehicles, they can also ask for the car itself, not the engine."

"If they get the engine, there's no way that Mexico is going to be able to make other parts of the vehicle for them, because their industry is not fully developed and they don't have the capacity to produce and manufacture other parts of the vehicle."

"What about disassembling the engine, cracking the technology, and producing it yourself?" The female president asked.

But soon, she realized that she had said something stupid, and smiled a little awkwardly and said, "If they had that ability, they wouldn't need our backup weapons." ”

The male manager shook his head and said, "You may not know much about this, even if you have the technology and materials of the engine?" What about the manufacturing process? What about production lines? ”

"All over the world's cars, the engine can be removed, have you seen any small country out of thin air to take out a car that is exactly the same as the big manufacturer? It's the production line that's the key issue. ”

Thomas exhaled and said, "If they want to crack the engine, then they should go straight to the technology, if they want to use the engine, then they should go straight to the finished product, unless, the engine is not the key, but just a sign." ”

"What do you mean ......"

"What kind of engine we give them is a representation of our ability and attitude."

Thomas leaned back on the back of the sofa, put his hand on the side of the sofa, and said, "If we don't give them enough horsepower, we are worried that they will have out-of-spec force, and if we give them finished brand engines, it means that our group has no industrial capacity or simply doesn't value them." ”

Thomas slowly narrowed his eyes and said, "It seems that this time, we met a smart man. ”

On the third day after the message of the request for assistance spread, Oliver received a lot of responses, asking him to pick up the goods at the place where he had been jointed, and Hal flew over and brought everything back with green light energy.

More than one engine from each house had been delivered, but to make it easier for Bruce to identify it, Hal took one out and placed it on the floor of the warehouse.

Bruce saw a lot of finished brand engines in it at a glance, and even if he didn't have a white label, he could probably guess which one it was, some from the United States and some from Europe.

Bruce took a look at it and told Hal to put the engines away, and there were a few more with their own characteristics.

Bruce first looked at an off-white engine, its volume is not too big, although the horsepower is large but not exaggerated, more importantly, this thing is directly adapted to the tractor, and it can even be said that it can be used when it is installed, and all other engines are more suitable for ordinary vehicles.

"It seems that we met a smart man." Bruce commented: "They saw what we wanted the engine to be used for, and he saw that Oliver was a good guy who really wanted to improve the situation of farmers, and he expressed some support through this engine." ”

He turned to look at Oliver and said, "Good news, we have a relatively reliable ally. ”

Bruce then set his sights on one of the most striking boxes in the room, almost seven or eight times the size of the previous engine, and almost reaching the roof of the warehouse.

Clark flew up to dismantle the box, and the moment Bruce saw the machine, he froze in shock.

It could also be said to be an engine, but Bruce knew its other name - the Ark Reactor.

Bruce's thoughts were like electricity, and in an instant, he pronounced a name: "...... Luther. ”
