Chapter 148: Harvest and Machinery (3-in-1 Monthly Pass)

At the time of the preliminary preparations, there was also a good news from the headquarters, the 500 acres of experimental fields opened up before, this time ushered in a bumper harvest without twists and turns, both the yield per mu and the total yield have reached the expected value.

The two witch doctors in charge of this matter were overjoyed, and cooked 100 pots of Guanmai rice with their own hands and distributed them;

The trolls in the tribe who were lucky enough to eat this meal, although they generally felt that this thing was not as good as meat, also reported that they were indeed full.

When this news and the sample of the crown wheat were sent to Nesta after crossing more than 1,700 kilometers, he also felt extraordinary satisfaction with a large bag of crown wheat.

Now that the finished product is in hand, let's study and study how to eat it by the way, Nesta has carried out the cooking of the grains, the grinding of the shell, the cooking and grinding of the shell according to the process of processing rice and noodles in the previous life in his memory, and then tried to cook them separately.

After eating, he found that if the husk was removed and steamed, it was eaten like rice, which was actually the best in terms of taste.

Secondly, the lakes and lakes after the shell grinding are actually quite delicious, but they are not too hungry.

Even the raw grains that have not been threshed, although the taste is quite bad, there is no situation where they cannot be digested, I don't know if it is him, and the rest of the trolls have not seen 'see you tomorrow' after eating it, and they are relatively more satiety.....

In view of all this, and considering the troubles of threshing, he decided to keep eating in the shell for the time being;

As for the more refined way to eat it, I will leave it to the future and let the future generations develop it naturally.

The harvest of crown wheat is undoubtedly good news;

This means that the tribe finally has a stable way of obtaining food that is more stable than collecting taxes and far more than hunting.

But at the same time, the urgent development intention has also resurfaced an old problem that has never been solved, that is, 'manpower' seems to be unable to keep up.....

The half-year-long war with the wolves, followed by the construction of rail transit, the headquarters has dispatched more than 2,700 soldiers and 2,000 construction teams;

Today, the tribe has only a team of hunters in their early 3,000s left in the east, scattered in their headquarters and various garrisons.

Strictly speaking, the strength that the tooth is now in the eastern sphere of influence, and the power it retains is very empty, and it really doesn't dare to continue tossing.

Originally, he thought so, but then, Nesta thought of the ancient Chinese 'cantonment army' system in his previous life, so he thought....'Is it possible to use those trolls left behind in the east?' “

The more he thought about it, the more he realized that this idea was feasible....

Think about it, too, with the westward transfer of a large number of forces, in fact, all the stations in the east, including the headquarters, are now showing a posture of tightening defense;

The various hunting teams were huddled in the station, not daring to let go of their hands and feet to hunt at all, almost relying on the food in stock and the food handed over by the various departments.

Whether it is to open up farmland or plant, these left-behind trolls do not need to be too far away from the station, and can be developed nearby.

So, it doesn't seem like there will be a de facto conflict between opening up fields and tightening defense?

He informed Miya and the other four witch doctors stationed at the base of the cave, and exchanged opinions with the thirty witch doctors who were not here through telecommunication;

Many witch doctors have all agreed with his idea, and some have even been more radical... Or the opinion of yin damage was also raised.

This time, the ship's teeth did not go out with the army, nor did they directly participate in the construction of rail transit.

It was only during the breeding process that he fulfilled his quota and stayed at the largest station in the East, concentrating on new ideas for ships.

When he received the idea from His Excellency the Dictator, he got a suggestion that he thought was quite feasible, and sent it out in droves.

If seeds can be transformed for high yields, can they also be transformed for extinction? The headquarters did not have enough labor, and for the purpose of food control, they were not willing to let the rest of the departments carry out agricultural reclamation... Can we provide a batch of seeds that can only be sown a limited number of times? “

'Like three times? Or even once? Find a way to make the next generation, or two or three generations, lose the ability to grow. “

'If such a transformation can be accomplished, then if the tribes want to continue farming, they will have to get new seeds from us again...."

When Nesta saw the news, he called out the good guy, and felt that the ship's teeth were really 'evil' to the core.

Of course, the second brother doesn't laugh at the eldest brother, and he has no position to make moral accusations, because Nesta himself is tempted by this idea.

'Well, can the idea of the boat be realized?' “

He immediately consulted the ministry on this issue.

The two witch doctors in charge of Guanmai's research replied quickly and immediately gave an answer.

'It is feasible to control one generation, because the fruit of one generation of seeds is still the direct product of the transformation of magic.... But the second and third generations can't do it for the time being, and such a transformation has already involved the genetic factors you mentioned. “

Unfortunately, we have never made a breakthrough in this technology. “

Upon receiving this message and translating it into words, Nesta immediately figured it out.

The tribe does not have the technology to modify the genetic information, so even the seeds that the headquarters needs to go through each breeding process in order to maintain their high yield.

If you don't, you just use the harvested kernels to seed the next round of planting, and the yield is almost no different from the original crown wheat provided by the hornhoe seeds;

Combined with climate, soil, and moisture, it is not too much to cut the yield by four-fifths.

From this point of view, even if the rest of the tribes are allowed to plant seeds that are exactly the same as the teeth, there is no need to worry about them getting rid of the control of the teeth over the food.

But to be on the safe side, until the integration of the Black Forest is truly complete, there will certainly be no too many cages to put on them.

Therefore, Nesta made a decision in his mind ....

'One generation is also available... 'castrate' all the seeds, including the seeds we provide for ourselves..."

Understood, we'll speed up and find a way to add this step to the transformation spell as well. “

After receiving the promise of the two witch doctors, Nesta gave instructions for a new round of planting, and asked the headquarters and the garrisons to open up and plant as appropriate.

A new batch of seeds had been prepared all along, but had not been castrated as Nesta had requested;

But he decided to forget it this time, and first distribute it to the Eastern Garrisons and hand it over to the trolls left behind everywhere to plant.

After receiving his order, the government of the headquarters immediately began to arrange the relevant work;

Because the number of farmers who had studied on the 500 acres of experimental fields was actually seriously exceeded, the newly established Department of Agricultural Reclamation of the ruling government decided to leave only some of them to continue to take care of the experimental fields.

The rest can continue to open up new fields nearby, or be sent to the rest of the stations to carry out guidance missions, where they can teach trolls who have never planted the land to learn how to open up the fields and cultivate the land.

Owing to the lack of labour, the Department of Reclamation is in fact prepared for slow progress, and all the work, including the minimum line requirements assigned to the stations, is also arranged according to this schedule.

But there are always surprises that can break what is thought to be a well-established plan......

Maybe it's because the tribe already has a pretty deep heritage, or maybe the apprentices who stay in the department are too idle;

In short, the group of apprentices who had previously developed a series of engineering vehicles, such as logging trucks, and specialized in mechanical theory, were once again on fire when they learned that the dictator was determined to vigorously develop the agricultural industry.

They went to the experimental field for the first time, visited and experienced the on-site work such as harvesting and sowing, and had in-depth exchanges with the farmers.

Then, they were keenly aware that machinery seemed to have a huge role to play in agriculture as well.....

Based on the conclusions they had reached during their previous observations in the field and the actual needs of the farmers, the apprentices developed the 'turning carts', 'sowing trucks', 'harvesting trucks' and 'watering trucks'.....

These single-purpose vehicles are basically similar in idea to lumberjacks, but with functional adjustments;

Strictly speaking, they are still a derivative of the previous batch of construction vehicles, so they are not too difficult to design.

After using the existing mother machine of the headquarters for trial production, entering the test field for field operation, and then carrying out more than ten targeted transformations, the apprentices were pleased to find that these bulky big guys can greatly improve the efficiency of harvesting, turning the soil, or sowing.

After owning this series of "agricultural engineering vehicles", a production unit of 10 "people" can easily complete the care of 500 acres of land.....

The birth of these machines, together with the fact that the Black Forest is completely devoid of historical baggage, has basically determined the pattern of future development of 'farming'.

The image of a hard-working peasant facing the loess with his back to the sky is estimated to not appear; In their place, there will be large farms....

Nesta doesn't think it's a shame, hard farmers deserve respect, but who wouldn't really want to make a change if they could do it easier?

Therefore, he was very happy and relieved to learn that the apprentices were so motivated and had broken his previous definition of a serious shortage of "labor" so quickly, and ordered the headquarters to immediately start the construction of the corresponding factory.

The headquarters, as well as the large station where the teeth of the ship are located, have a large number of 'mother planes' at this time. Due to the extremely difficult handling, these machine tools did not participate in the track project, and now except for a few production activities such as shipbuilding, most of the machine tools and secondary machine tools are more responsible for teaching work.

And now, they can be used more efficiently....

With the support of these existing machines, the rest of the mission largely eliminates the need for witch doctors. The rest of the work is left to the apprentices and the 'high-end population'.

When these ready-made design drawings were sent across the vast Black Forest, to various sub-bases along the Western Orbit, and to the hands of the witch doctors, they were also aware of the future prospects of the plummeting demand for labor in the agricultural fields after the intervention of machinery;

This kind of imagination of the future led these witch doctors to think of opening up the wasteland in the sub-al-Qaeda.

As a result, the witch doctors in charge of the four sub-bases unanimously submitted to the dictator the relevant issues, applying for the opening of fields and the production of agricultural machinery along the line, so as to reduce the logistical pressure caused by the official start of the construction of the track.

Even if these applications were approved by Niesta, the four sub-sites, including the cave base, opened up the "agricultural machinery production line" on the basis of the original "rail construction machinery production line".

Because the two types of engineering vehicles come from the same source, the power structure and other modules used inside are similar;

As a result, all parts other than the 'functional components' are basically compatible with each other without bloating the existing production model.

The only people who feel that this task is 'unfriendly' are probably the workers on the assembly line;

Because they find that they have more to learn.....

However, they only chattered for a sentence or two, and then soon cooperated with the requirements of the headquarters and began to learn the new technology under the guidance of the apprentices again.

When everything in the sub-bases is gradually on the right track, and more than 1,000 construction vehicles of all kinds have been hoarded, the 'illiterate production team' from the rest of the departments is finally in place....

At the base of the cave, Nesta gave a speech to the more than 750 'migrant workers' assigned there;

In his speech, he emphasized the importance and groundbreaking nature of the task of the "Orbital Project", and described to them what kind of beautiful changes it will bring to the lives of trolls after it is realized;

In short, Nesta paints a pie of 'better food, better future, better life';

But at the same time, he himself really believes that these 'big pies' will really be realized in the near future.

The same thing had been staged in the No. 234 sub-base in the east half a month before, and due to the distance problem, the official track construction had already started at this time.

Each of the four sub-bases is equipped with 750 'migrant trolls', of which the cave base mainly builds roads to the east, and the other three bases need to build roads in both east and west directions at the same time.

In this way, although the project on the Cave Base started at the latest, it should be able to complete the connection with the No. 2 Sub-Base as quickly as possible, and work with it to invest more forces in the eastern.....

The trolls who came from the headquarters earlier were also divided into four parts in a group of 500, and they had already been assigned to the four bases;

A small half of them were filled into the engineering vehicle production line, and the remaining half acted as engineering vehicle operators after driving training, and carried out the construction of various sub-bases with a working efficiency of more than one top ten.

The positioning of these sub-bases today is far more than the original envisioned rail engineering construction base, but with the concept of establishing a permanent station, and the real planning is being carried out.

Even before the laborers arrived, the trolls of the headquarters had already built fortifications here, including the city walls;

As well as various supporting facilities such as housing, bathhouses, toilets, canteens and other supporting facilities in the base.

Although it looks much more modest than those garrisons in the East, it is definitely enough to support more than a thousand trolls for a long time.

Later, with the birth of agricultural machinery, the drivers who basically completed the construction of the "city" began to turn to the development of agricultural land.

Lumberjacks open the way in front of them, creating open spaces in patches;

Then the excavator followed, and began to dig up the stumps remaining in the ground and the root system deep into the ground;

The felled trees were separated by jigsaws and sent to the city walls behind them.

The various stumps left in the open space were burned in the raging flames that ignited soon after, and after going through the steps of deep soil ploughing and landfilling, all kinds of agricultural machinery ushered in;

Then, the operations such as turning the soil and sowing seeds are not very skillful, and a piece of farmland is almost initially formed.

These fields may be cultivated rather roughly, the soil fertility may not be optimal, and even the sowing may not be satisfactory;

But there are many other places in the Black Forest, and there is always a way to ensure that there is enough land for stable output every time.

~~~~~

And when the migrant workers arrived, under Nesta's orders, except for the workers in the factory, the rest of the trolls, whether they were the trolls of the headquarters or the foreign trolls, were completely organized in terms of organization;

Under the new organization, basically only two or three of each production team are trolls, and the rest are all trolls from different tribes;

This new production team, you have me, I have you, will strictly implement the standards of eating together, living together, and wearing the same clothes, and then cooperate with each other to complete the entire project.

At the same time, the trolls in the headquarters are required to be diligent in communicating with foreign trolls, treating them as their comrades-in-arms, and instilling in them the concept of "the trolls in the world are a family" in the communication....

Fortunately, the trolls are still in a relatively simple state at this time, and they have not yet had the bad idea of looking down on 'low-end laborers', 'outsiders', and so on.

Therefore, this series of orders of his is not contradicted, but is being effectively implemented and enforced.

At work, the trolls in the headquarters will focus on the operation of construction vehicles, while the foreign trolls will carry out some earth, transportation, etc., without much technical content.

As the project progressed, these new production teams gradually developed a little rustic friendship, and as time went on, they became more and more solid.

~~~~~

While all this was steadily advancing, the fanged witch doctor, who had traveled long distances in the Black Forest, finally arrived at the territory of a pair of wolf kings, and was brought to the wolf king by the relatively more intelligent lord wolves.

'Dear two wolf kings, I have come with friendship and sincerity..."

In order to be able to communicate smoothly, Fangs deliberately maintained the form of a 'wolf troll', and used the deformed vocal structure to emit a 'wolf language' containing information.

'Sincerity? Friendship? .... Strange troll, what do you mean by sincerity? Are they the bones of my countrymen? “

Since the sex of the wolf king cannot be known exactly from his appearance, the fangs are not sure whether the male or female wolf king is the male wolf king or the female wolf king who is lying on the slope and barking a few lazily.

But he also deeply felt its wisdom and beauty....

'Not really... The sincerity I bring is about His Excellency Debilius...."

As his voice fell, the other wolf king, who was basking in the sun and had never looked at his fangs, finally opened his eyes;

It slowly turned its head and fixed its gaze on the fangs, causing a shudder to emerge from it.

'Although the strength is far less than that of the Cave Wolf.... But these are two perfectly healthy higher beings..."

Fangs put away some contempt because the previous war was too smooth, and made up his mind to communicate more cautiously....

Tell me, have you won? What happened to Dibilius? The wolf king's voice was even lower, and sometimes there was a sense of detachment.

We were victorious, and Debilius was completely controlled, and there was never a chance to escape. Fangs replied in the affirmative.

The two wolf kings looked at each other, and their eyes couldn't help but show some disbelief because this answer far exceeded their previous expectations;

If this guy isn't lying, then they'll have to reassess the strength of the troll tribe and treat it accordingly....

'Where is your tribe, we need to take a look.... Go see what Divilius is doing, and then talk about the friendship you want. “

The wolf kings' demands made Fangs a little embarrassed, although he got a special order to act cheaply on this trip, but really to bring such a dangerous creature to the tribe?

As if seeing his hesitation, the wolf kings unexpectedly did not persecute, and the wolf king, who was the first to communicate with Fang, spoke again at this time,

'You don't seem to be king, and we allow you to ask for the approval of the true king... But please don't let us lose our patience. “

'Yes, I appreciate your understanding and forgiveness. “

'Go ahead, don't keep us waiting..... Also, tell your king that the 12 wolf kings will not all go, only us, or another pair of wolf kings, will go, so you won't feel too embarrassed, right? “

Fangs didn't answer the obvious temptation, he just leaned over and bowed slightly, then walked backwards and left.

When he left, the wolf king in front gently rubbed the neck of his partner next to him, and hummed slightly,

'Hopefully he's telling the truth.... That damned tyrant, even if he really can't be killed, deserves eternal captivity. “

'Troll.... It seems that it has become a force to be reckoned with..."The other wolf king squinted his eyes slightly, staring at the peculiar figure of the fangs for a long time, and said.
