Chapter 29 High-Yielding Crops

Afis didn't know that his actions were in Luo Yu's hands, and even if he collected food, the siege of the expeditionary force continued. As for the food for the expeditionary force, there is no need to worry, when they went out, they brought a lot of food from the country, and there was a lot of food. Even if it runs out, it is enough to send a "courier" back to the country to ask for food. What's more, the botanists and agriculturists of the Expeditionary Force have discovered a high-yielding food crop, but this thing has never been tried by the Twin Moons, and it is unknown that it can be eaten.

This is a plant called the "Moon Tree" by the people of the Twin Moons, because this tall tree bears two kinds of fruits, the size of a basketball, one blue and one red, just like the blue eyes and red pupils of the Twin Moons.

The moon tree bears fruit once every 3 months, once in red and once in blue, alternating every 3 months. For the fruit that the moon tree fell to the ground, the people of the double moon star didn't care much, after all, the thin-skinned moon fruit except for the sweet taste of the scarce flesh, but there was nothing to eat, at most, the nobles spent a lot of energy to purchase a large amount of moon fruit pulp, and then made into a pitiful small piece of moon fruit cake to eat.

However, just like that, the Twin Moon Star people directly passed by the delicacy. It wasn't until the botanists and agriculturists of the expeditionary force arrived that they discovered that the real value of the moon fruit was not its scarce and sweet flesh, but its basket-sized moon tree seeds.

There are two types of moon fruits, one is the light blue crystal clear seeds produced by the blue moon fruit, and the other is the light red and bright color seeds produced by the red moon fruit. After a brief analysis of the two seeds, the researchers found that the energy contained in them was even slightly higher than that of rice, and even invited a volunteer Twin Moon Star to try it. Using the ancestral method of the Chinese people, two bowls of rice, one red and one blue, are cooked in a rice cooker. After tasting the Twin Moon Starman, after observing it for a few days and confirming that the Twin Moon Star Man was still alive, the researchers tried it on their own.

The blue rice is boiled and full of grains, soft and has a faint aroma. Scoop a spoonful and put it in your mouth to savor it, and the taste is definitely the best "rice" these agriculturists have ever tasted. Soft, moderately viscous, with an imperceptible but extremely pleasant sweetness. After eating, the mouth is filled with aroma and is very refreshing. If the best rice on earth is 10 points, agriculturists can't wait to give a high score of 15 points for the "rice" in the blue moon fruit.

The rice boiled from the seeds of the red moon fruit is a little different from the blue rice, and it still looks crystal clear, slightly expanding like the grains of a grapefruit, but the original pale red color has also changed to a rose color. When you want to go down, there is a trace of viscosity in the Q bomb, which can be described as having an excellent taste, and its flesh quality is not inferior to the seeds in the Blue Moon Fruit. However, considering that the Chinese may have a trace of unacceptability for rice with its own Q-bomb attributes, the agriculturists finally gave the food in the red moon fruit a score of 13 points, second only to the blue moon fruit.

A report came to Luo Yu's desk that the moon tree bears fruit four times a year, and the adult tree species can bear 40-70 seeds at a time, or even higher. For comparison, the yield of Yueshu reached 2,000 kilograms per mu, which completely exceeded the yield of 900 kilograms per mu of super rice. And the moon tree adapts to a variety of natural conditions, drought, desert, desert, and mountain can grow, even if it is saline-alkali land, it is not a big problem. This is a great gift, a gift from the Milky Way to China. Luo Yu had to pay attention to it, if the moon tree was promoted to China, then the rice farmer would probably have to change to a tree farmer. Moreover, one of the advantages of the moon tree is that it can be popularized to return farmland to forest and protect the natural environment. With a stroke of Luo Yu's pen, an agricultural group specializing in the study of moon trees was established.

Unbeknownst to Aphes, he once thought that the expeditionary force would come to the Twin Moon Stars from thousands of miles away, and would definitely be defeated and retreat due to supply problems. However, he was wrong, and the expeditionary force discovered new species and made them self-sufficient in food supplies. After only two months, the city of Vigna fell into a food shortage.

Gradually, the civilians rioted, and the Imperial soldiers began to fight against the civilians, and the hatred between the two sides was like fire and water. The merchants, who had been dissatisfied with the Empire during the previous grain requisition, had also begun to quietly provide weapons to the civilians who had started the rebellion, and the merchants had begun to encourage the civilians to revolt under the slogan of surrendering to the expeditionary force.

The Imperial soldiers and the nobles began to feel that the situation was not right, and the defenders stationed in Vigna began to flee at night. However, they were able to escape from Vigna, who had been blocked by the expeditionary force, and was killed on the road when they escaped. At this time, the Imperial soldiers knew that if they did not surrender to the expeditionary force, then staying in Viña would be the only way to die, either starve to death, be killed by the mob, or escape and be killed by the expeditionary force.

At this time, Afis can be said to have imperial power outside of Venia, and outside Venia, those nobles have begun to break the prohibition of civil war among princes in the imperial power law, and began to slowly merge with each other, and a civil strife that swept the empire is coming. Afis looked at this piece of information, seemed to have accepted his fate, and said pessimistically: "Locke, you go as a messenger and surrender to the Huaxia people." Anything I promised them, even if it was to give way to Albert. The empire has entered civil strife, and if you don't do something about it, the empire will cease to exist. ”

"Yes!"

Lockhee finally breathed a sigh of relief, if Afis continued to hold on like this, then the destruction of the empire was imminent. Now that Afis has thrown in the towel, abdicated to Albert, and retreated into the background, the empire may have a chance to rise again after enduring the humiliation for a while.

After receiving the order, Lockhee went straight out of Vinia with a team of personal guards. Because he has several diplomatic experiences, Lockhee's squad has a white flag, which means surrender in the eyes of the Chinese. And Lockhee also waved the flag of his own family and the flag of the royal family.

When the commander of the front line saw it, he immediately reported it to Zhang Dayang: "Chief, it's Marshal Lokee of the Empire, he is waving the white flag, the flag of the royal family and the flag of his own family, it seems that he is coming to peace talks." ”

"Huh? Peace talks? Has the Empire begun to send people of the rank of marshal? It seems that the empire is holding on. Zhang Dayang played with the Double Moon Star Walnut in his hand, and then ordered: "Send someone to pick them up." ”

The soldiers on the front line drove a warrior, and soon arrived in front of Lockhee's team, stopped the car, and a major walked down, looked at the portrait of Lockhee in his hand, and then looked at Lockhee, and said: "The Expeditionary Force of the Republic of China, if you are here for peace talks, please Marshal Lockhee get in the car with us." The others returned to Vinia on their own, and the safety of Lockhee would be the responsibility of our expeditionary force from now on. ”

An accompanying magician translated the major's words, and Lockhee's guards immediately drew their knives and cut the major. However, the machine gunner on the warrior was not afraid, and with a "click", the 12.7mm machine gun was aimed at Locke and the guards behind him, and whoever dared to do it would die.

Seeing the tense situation, Locke pondered for a moment and then pressed his hand, turned around and said to the guards behind him: "You guys go back first, I'll be fine, the Huaxia people are not like those barbarians." ”

The major smiled and made a gesture of please: "Hehehe, get in the car, Marshal Lockhee." ”

After Lockhee got into the car, the warrior moved "suddenly", drew a circle on the grass, and returned to the front line position after a while.

Lockhee was still lamenting the speed of the car, when a Z-20 slowly descended from the sky, and the air currents generated by the propellers swayed the surrounding trees, and Lockhee was even more beaten by the rolled up grass, sand and leaves.

The major patted the Z-20 and said, "Marshal Lockhee, please, Commander Luo Yu is waiting for you in Lilia." ”
