wasteland ranch

Chapter 14 Discussing Countermeasures
Lin Guiyao took out his hoe, chose a spot in the field that was a little more pleasing to the eye, and went straight down with the hoe with his back facing the sun. He quickly dug a hole more than one meter deep and [-] centimeters long and wide. It's just that one side is dug particularly vertically, and the corresponding side is a slope.

First, he touched the slightly soft bottom of the pit, and then squatted on the vertical side of the earth wall to observe carefully for more than ten minutes. Lin Guiyao breathed a sigh of relief.

Based on the soil profile he dug up, the situation wasn't great, but it wasn't bad either.

On the one-meter-deep profile, except for the first fifty centimeters of soil that hardened like tidal coarse salt, the soil below began to darken in color and become softer in texture, showing a healthy reddish-brown color.

This is the soil that can grow things!

Rubbing the somewhat sandy soil on the surface, Lin Guiyao felt a slight burning pain in his fingertips, which should be caused by the grayish-white unknown particles mixed in it.

There is no doubt that these gray particles must be something similar to radioactive dust. Coupled with the information he learned from Bai Ruochu before, Lin Guiyao felt that he had roughly guessed the theme of this wasteland world.

radiation!

For example, the ancient four that can track blood, coconut wax that can burn violently, highly poisonous potatoes, and those new humans who are said to be able to breathe fire and discharge electricity. If it is not a mutation caused by radiation, he will not believe that ten Zhao Gu were killed.

As for Bai Ruochu's inhuman fighting ability, it may be due to her extraordinary talent...

However, seeing that Hu Xiaoer and the villagers were quite normal, it means that the radiation content should be very weak. As long as they are not hungry enough to eat dirt, the radiation should not pose any threat to people.

But plants are not good, direct contact with radioactive dust is stronger than wild poisonous potatoes, and they will still grow terribly.

So in order to save effort and make use of the remaining fertility, Lin Guiyao decided to plant in a manure pit.

After leveling the pit into a field about two meters long and wide, and digging the polluted surface soil aside, Lin Guiyao carefully pressed down the precious potato seed in his hand, and lightly sprinkled a thin layer of it on the ground. soil, and then moisten the soil with water from the water bag.

These damned villagers didn't even leave a barrel behind!
Patting the dirt on his hand, Lin Guiyao took out the other seed he had left, and the blue words of the system flashed out:

[Improved melon seeds] The melon seeds obtained through simple cultivation have strong adaptability and require a lot of water to survive. They are sweet and bitter, with average vitamins.

[Mature period is 120 days, selling price: 5G. 】

Very long ripening period, but this is only relative to domesticated potatoes, and normal cantaloupe is roughly planted for this long.

Thinking of this, Lin Guiyao picked up a small wooden stick, drew it on the ground, and began to write and draw. This is his most used method when organizing his thoughts.

He first wrote down all the entries he had identified, such as wild potatoes, domesticated potato seeds, improved melon seeds, and wild high coconuts, and then indicated various indicators, such as maturity period, selling price, and domestication price. etc.

After finishing the writing, and then sorting and comparing various indicators, Lin Guiyao's modern-educated mind quickly discovered some patterns:
Due to Hu Xiaoer's lack of experience, wild potatoes did not cut into pieces to grow buds, but buried them in whole pieces, so the data obtained can be regarded as the harvest. And the melon that I picked up is the data of the seed.

Among them, wild tall coconuts and wild potatoes can be domesticated, and the price of domestication is one hundred times the selling price of harvested products, and the maturity period is normal.Seeds cannot be domesticated. As for the difference between the price of seeds and the price of harvested products, there are too few samples. For the time being, Lin Guiyao thinks it should be half. The specifics will not be known until the potatoes are ripe.

In the end, Lin Guiyao opened another field near the potatoes and planted the melons. 120 days is a long time, and I don't know if this village can survive until the day when the melons are ripe, but Lin Guiyao still planted them.

He needs more sample data to figure out the system in his hands, and this so-called ranch system, in the view of Lin Guiyao, a pure farming player who does not mine, fish, or fall in love, the numerical part is the most important.

What is quick to grow, expensive to sell, and easy to manage? Only data can give him the answer.

When this melon matures, he should be able to figure out the price relationship between seeds and fruits, whether only mature harvests can be domesticated, and whether domestication can greatly shorten the maturity period of plants, etc.

After doing everything he could, Lin Guiyao remembered that he still had a little tail beside him!
Turning his head to look, he could not help but smile a little. Hu Xiaoer probably saw that he found it interesting to write with a wooden stick, and even took a small wooden stick to scratch on the soil, but the things drawn on it made his eyelids twitch. jumped:
Looks like a piece of meat pie?
……

Bai Ruochu and Chen Elong didn't make Lin Guiyao and the others wait too long. Lin Guiyao had just finished their busy work, and they returned to the village with six large boxes on their shoulders.

Chen Elong, a big man, carried four boxes by himself, which was quite normal, but Bai Ruochu also carried two boxes, which surprised Lin Guiyao a little.

You must know that each box weighs about [-] catties. Lin Guiyao felt ashamed that they could return in such a short time. When he entered the village empty-handed, it seemed to take him longer than walking back and forth. many.

"Are all the people in the wasteland so powerful..."

Lin Guiyao secretly squeezed his only abdominal muscle. In terms of strength, he can only be compared with Hu Xiaoer.

Prying open the box, the first batch of supplies that Bai Ruochu and the others brought back were basically bacon that was easy to store, only one box contained bread and other dry food, and none of the fruit. Those people, when they enter the house, will be attracted by the coconuts and will not see the coconut wax on the walls.

Seeing that Bai Ruochu and the others wanted to carry some food back while it was still dark, Lin Guiyao thought about it and stopped them.

"that……"

"You are Lin Guiyao? What's the matter?" Bai Ruochu tightened his white robe, his eyes full of suspicion and uncertainty.

It was only then that Lin Guiyao remembered that two hours had passed, Bai Ruochu's memory had been erased again, and now even the name was probably read from the cheat sheet or Chen Elong told her.

"Uh, I want to discuss something with you, why don't we sit down and have a good talk?"

　Thanks for all the upvotes for empty hvchuug.
