Chapter 218: Two and Five Billion Acres of Plantations

Watering is not necessary, nut trees grow directly in the water, how can there be a lack of water?

So, after the nut tree plantation expanded, they only had to come and harvest it every year at harvest time, and occasionally remove some pests, and it was basically the same. (Watch it and watch ♀ the mobile version)

Compared to nut tree plantations that grow in water, bread trees that grow on land are more difficult to manage.

It is necessary to water and fertilize, and there is also the harvest time, when picking fruits, the family members fall down and fall to death or hurt themselves.

Compared with the situation in the swamp, even if you fall down, you will fall directly into the water, and at most your head will buzz.

And the yield is not very optimistic, in the dark swamp, the nut tree plantation, can harvest two crops a year, each tree is 100 catties, one acre of land, ten trees can harvest nearly a ton of grain a year.

And here, even if you fertilize and water, the harvest of a tree in a year is only about fifty catties.

Ten trees on one acre of land add up, and the harvest in a year is only about 500 catties, which is about 0.25 tons.

In contrast to the nut plantations of the Dark Marshes, where not only can only one crop be harvested a year, but yields have also been cut in half.

By contrast, production plummeted by four times.

Four acres (1,000 square meters) of bread tree plantations is worth the income of one acre of a nut tree plantation in the dark swamp.

And it's more troublesome than a nut tree plantation, I don't know how many times.

Having managed nut tree plantations, and now managing these troublesome bread tree plantations, it's no wonder that Eliza is a little dissatisfied.

"It's a big place, there are a lot of mountains, there are a lot of trees, and there are no storms."

"Although the grain yield is a little less, and it is a little more troublesome than our nut tree plantation, we still water and fertilize it."

"It's such a simple thing, those stupid dark creatures can still understand."

"Let them and pee under their own bread tree every day, and that's about it."

Ace said casually.

He had seen the fields planted by humans, planted in the spring and harvested in the fall, and had to watch every day to prevent the destruction of rats, birds, insects and other animals.

Today, his bread tree plantation is as simple as watering and fertilizing.

Ask for those races casually, pull their own nutrient dung* under the trees every day, and the task of fertilizing and watering is basically completed.

Compared to the human farmers who are busy on the plains, it is not too easy.

In his view, although the output is four times less, the western border has a huge area of more than 50 million square kilometers, and more than ninety percent of the land is made up of mountains.

There are many trees, and at a glance, even if the yield is reduced by four times, the number of creatures that can be fed is still an astronomical amount.

Anyway, it can definitely raise a population many times larger than the current West.

Human expansion is dominated by plains, or arable land capable of producing food.

Where farmland can be cultivated on a large scale, it is the direction of their expansion.

As for those alpine forests, only some hunters will go, and the number is scarce.

According to the ratio of 100 to 1 land to arable land in mountainous areas, that is, 1 million square kilometers, only 10,000 square kilometers of land can be cultivated land.

One thousand square meters is one acre.

One million square kilometers can reclaim about 100 million acres of arable land.

The entire western frontier is 50 million square kilometers, and the cultivated land cultivated by the people of the western frontier should be about 5 billion acres.

However, because most of their area is newly occupied and undeveloped wilderness, this number has to be reduced by nearly half.

After all, if you want to fully develop the newly developed wild area, it will basically take a hundred years

for units.

The first areas to be developed must be close to the river and are relatively easy to cultivate.

Today, the real arable land area in the west should be about 2.5 billion to 3 billion acres.

This area, Ace doesn't care about it at all.

The advantage of marrying a field is that as long as there are large trees to grow, it can be turned into his plantation.

The western frontier is mainly mountainous, and excluding the basins, and some areas that are too difficult to climb, the forested areas that can expand bread tree plantations occupy at least half of the western territory.

The 50 million square kilometers of the western border, as long as it is completely occupied, about 25 million square kilometers of bread tree plantations is not a dream at all.

That's how many acres, based on 10,000 square kilometers and 100 million acres, that's 250 billion acres of bread tree plantations.

How many people can this feed.

What do humans compare to him?

As long as he occupies the western realm and is working hard to develop for hundreds of years, even if the gods in the sky descend to earth, he will be able to tear the other party apart by relying on the countless legendary demigods cultivated by the blood sacrifice energy brought by the sufficient population.

You must know that one acre of bread tree produces 500 catties of grain every year, which is enough to feed a population.

250 billion acres of bread tree plantations, that can feed the population, that's 250 billion.

He couldn't imagine how many strong people could be cultivated with the blood sacrifice energy brought by such a huge population.

In short, in Ace's opinion, as long as he can defeat the Western Realm, no one in the whole world can resist his footsteps.

To be honest, he was also a little puzzled, why didn't anyone think of marrying inoculated fields before him?

Whether it is his previous life or the magical world after becoming a dragon, he has similar skills and ideas as grafting.

So much of a stake.

In his previous life, with a forest area of about 2 million square kilometers, he could transform more than 20 billion acres of land capable of producing food by using the land he had grafted and inoculated.

Increase the number of people you can feed tenfold or even twentyfold.

In many countries, the same is true, with forests ten or even twenty times as much arable land as they already have, and as a result, there is no use for them.

It stands to reason that someone should have used marriage to strengthen their own ethnic group early.

There are so many smart people of various races, and all kinds of knowledge and inheritance, which are as bright as the stars, how can anyone not think of it?

Although he was puzzled by this, Ace did not delve into it.

Eliza tilted her dragon head, and her huge nineteen-meter-long body squeezed on the throne, and continued: "In addition to this, we are going to have another ** blood." ”

"Those guys are crazier than the other, as long as it is the human area that they push across, the intelligent creatures with weapons are basically swept away by them."
