Will Beast Ear Girl Encounter Alien Ranch Story?

The quality is not high, which means that after adding the freight, no matter how cheap he sells it, there is no room for middlemen to make a difference, and there will be no phenomenon of nobles maliciously buying grain and then reselling it.

However, if the output is large, the price of food that is not high in the market will avalanche. In order to simply stop the loss, the nobles will naturally ask the serfs to pay directly, because the serfs pay, and then he goes to the market to buy food instead. cheaper.

In addition, the nobles have more food and less money. Naturally, they must find a way to expand the size of the army, which will also intensify the intensity of the war in Kazdel. Under the horizontality of war and famine, only a little spark is needed, and the entire area will be destroyed. The land of Kazdel would burn through like wildfire.

Similarly, low-quality food can also prevent profiteers from hoarding, which created conditions for Lao Xia to follow the wildfire to gather refugees and refugees, and rebuild organization and production.

This whole plan cannot be called a conspiracy, but a conspiracy based on the two characteristics of food, and this conspiracy has also been discussed by Kelsey and Tallulah. Because the little tiger grew up in a rich family, I really can't understand many low-level things, but serious arguments and deduction have also been carried out in terms of business.

Now it has been fully formed, and Lao Xia feels that Kelsey has become enlightened recently, and the supplementary suggestions put forward are all on the point, such as the form of organizing production, and the formation of a de facto army based on the characteristics and customs of the Sarkaz people , and how to organize these personnel, divide them into several classes and parts, resolve and organize them separately.

The first is the warrior class of Sarkaz. This class was reminded by Kelsey that Lao Xia did not throw them back into the labor force, but incorporated them into the guard team of Kazdale Farm, together with the servants he brought. Soldiers train together.

The performance of these people these days has also proved that they are really not suitable for doing farm work. Instead of incorporating them into the labor force and having to work for half a day every day to increase trouble, it is better to simply be part of the army and force.

Moreover, Kelsey also pointed out that these Sarkaz warriors themselves are half-civilians and half-soldiers, so they can't do farm work, but they are good at grazing, scouting, and prospecting, which is just right for guarding Lao Xia's team of workers hired from Longmen. well team.

And after that, Kazdel will also carry out the expansion of animal husbandry, and these people will quickly turn into herdsmen, and he also suggested that Lao Xia transfer those disabled or unqualified retired warriors directly to herdsmen and reserve soldiers, which can avoid They make trouble everywhere, and they can give them a visible retirement future, so they don't have to worry about the future.

The second is the serfs of Sarkaz. These people can’t expect them to do anything other than farm work. They are the easiest personnel for Lao Xia to arrange. Now they spend all day digging ditches and laying pipes in the desert. It’s tedious, but it’s just right for them. These serfs.

They are best at doing this kind of tedious, repetitive work that lacks technology and flexibility. A group of people are working like ants on the gray desert, with the color-changing ditches behind them. Lao Xia followed Rhodes Island's suggestion , Even if there are mechanized labor methods, these serfs are not provided.

The last class is the artisan class. Most of these people have some skills, and some are unlicensed warlocks. These need to be subdivided and divided into different groups according to their abilities and characteristics.

After such a division and grouping, the current oasis reclamation work has become well-organized, and a unique sense of order is produced with the ditches and drip irrigation pipes that continue to spread out of the oasis.

As for the experienced workers transferred by Longmen and Ursas, they are responsible for two tasks these days. The first task is the vehicle team, which is responsible for driving the chariot to clean up rock crabs, various dangerous animals, and origin stone insects. , and is responsible for driving out the gravel and troubled times - this is too slow and too troublesome to use manpower.

The second thing is to go all out to raise sweet potato seedlings. Sweet potatoes are drought-tolerant and warm-loving. Early-maturing varieties even need to be covered with three layers of film for insulation. However, in the north of Kazdale, there is no need to lay plastic film. During the day, you only need to open the top of the greenhouse for ventilation. Avoid burning seedlings at high temperatures, and cover the top at night. The heat insulation layer of airgel and graphene sheets is enough to ensure that the bed temperature is 25-30 degrees.

Pipes are laid on both sides of the seedbed for drip irrigation to ensure that the soil will not be too dry or too wet. When the height of the seedlings reaches about 20 cm, the seedlings can be cut and put into the field.

Moreover, the sweet potato looks like a high-yield product, but it actually needs a lot of service, so after entering the field, the initial laying of the fertilizer strips and the topping of the whole branch requires Lao Xia's skilled workers to teach the local serfs. —The sand fruit they originally planted was not so troublesome.

However, the water requirement of Shaguo is slightly higher. Originally, the biggest labor of serfs was to carry water for irrigation. Relationship, it is not suitable for digging open ditches, and the water can only be manually watered and covered with a wooden cover to prevent excessive evaporation and watered by hand.

Therefore, before the invention of drip irrigation, farming in the desert was almost the same thing as whimsical. As for the saline-alkaline upland rice planted in the outermost periphery of Laoxia, it was even more of a Zenith star species. However, the yield of that kind of rice was very high. ……Low.

The taste is also very bad, and it can even be said that it is almost inedible to human beings.

Metal components and toxic components are basically concentrated in rice husks and rice straws, and it only takes a fire to get a large amount of inorganic salt ashes, which are used to configure fertilizers or other chemicals.

As for Lao Xia, the things he grows need more careful attention, that is, watermelons. After three days of constant temperature and germination, they can be planted happily now. The requirements of watermelon fields are relatively high, so he chooses them all around the water source of the oasis. , the irrigation and drainage channels have been dug, and the plowing has been carried out very thoroughly. Now is the time to start planting melons.

The requirements for watermelons are quite strange. It requires dry air and moist soil. The desert in Kazdale is simply a good place to grow watermelons, as long as there is enough water for irrigation, the air here is so dry that it almost feels like breathing out. fire.

The temperature difference between day and night is huge, which is conducive to the accumulation of sugar in watermelon. The sunshine time is long during the day, and the accumulated temperature and light are very high. It is also very suitable for plants such as watermelon and sweet potato to grow leaves and vines.

As for the water issue, Lao Xia was digging wells in the desert just for the demand of this thing.

In addition to watermelon, corn, a drought-tolerant and barren-resistant crop, is also planted, but the corn will not be sold directly, but corn syrup and livestock feed.

Simply selling green wheat can’t achieve the maximum killing effect. After all, the Sarkaz people also have nomadic and fixed herding habits. If they really fall to the same level, they might just give up farming and play nomadism—this is also Lao Xia’s choice Here's why.

If it is Casimir's full-staff farming production model, he can guarantee that the wildfire will burn fast enough, but he cannot guarantee that the speed of cleaning up the aftermath can keep up with the speed of the fire.

Therefore, animal husbandry is needed, not only to ship a large amount of grain, but also to ship a large amount of watermelon and other fruits and all kinds of meat. Basically, in the first production season after one year, if the major Cut off all food prices, and send those competitors who dare to compete with the Xia Group in the food market to the rooftops, so Lao Xia can go back and tear up his diploma.

This doesn’t require any business skills or business talent, you just need to smash the goods to death. Compared with products that are exquisitely packaged, pure in taste, properly divided, and even processed with spices, other manufacturers’ rough stuff Where does this competitiveness come from?Especially the price of this thing is so cheap that it seems to be selling at a loss.

As time passed day by day, several waves of reinforcements from Longmen came, all of them brought fertilizer and machinery, and most of the survivors and captives in the oasis were used to life under the rule of this strange tribe, and even due to the intensified Katz During the civil war in Dale, many refugees also began to appear around, and then they were all divided and absorbed by Lao Xia.

Now, the oasis is surrounded by a very neat planting area. The terrain here is even flatter than Ursas, and it is a large plain like Casimir. Unfortunately, it is a desert plain.

The mountains in the south blocked the water vapor, resulting in a significant gap in rainfall between the north and the south, and finally formed a temperate desert climate, which satisfies two major causes: being far away from the ocean and terrain obstruction.

Each planting area is a regular rectangle, dotted with dots of green, which are sweet potatoes and sand fruits that have just germinated. Three small water pumps stand on the edge of the oasis lake to send the lake water into the huge diversion pipe. Sent to each drip irrigation array to retain water for the fields.

In order to prevent excessive water consumption due to excessive evaporation and depletion of oases, Lao Xia built greenhouses for each field, opened the ventilation in the morning and evening to prevent seedlings from burning, and sealed the roof at noon to avoid rapid evaporation under direct sunlight.

This undoubtedly requires the consumption of a large amount of polymer raw materials. Fortunately, Kazdel is quite rich in oil resources. Petroleum is not a non-renewable resource. More precisely, if you look at it from the perspective of nature, 2 ~3 centuries are enough to refill the oil field, and if extended to more than 10 centuries, new oil fields will even be deposited due to plant and biological activities.

Of course, if you look at it from the perspective of human civilization, this is the same thing as plastic pollution of the environment. It is just a blink of an eye for the earth, and there is no waiting for human beings.

Kazdale not only has oil, but also natural gas, and even natural gas springs. The presence of natural gas springs means that there is helium, and the presence of helium means that if the equipment is well equipped, it can fractionate a very small amount of helium three and helium four.

It is a pity that Lao Xia does not have this level of fractionation equipment. After building a simple gas production station around the gas spring, the natural gas is introduced to the farm, which just prevents the locals from cutting down the oasis trees as fuel.

Oil, natural gas, coal, and even copper and iron ore are quite abundant in the northern part of Kazdale. However, for the people of Terra, chemical energy is not what they urgently need, food is, so the poverty of Kazdale is also normal. Yes, if this is changed to be on the earth, this is probably the second local tyrant in the Middle East.

"Originally there were still a lot of different irons here, but unfortunately, they were all taken away by those people." The guide pointed to the abandoned mobile mining facilities in the distance and said, "In the past, many people from the north and west came here to dig for different irons. And Yuanyan, and once the mine was dug dry, these companies all ran away, you see, that is what was left by the former Columbia mining industry.”

Kazdale's source stone particles are very rich, but there are very few source rock ores, just like the landform environment of Mars, the ground is full of iron oxide soil, but there are not many iron ores that can be smelted.

And if you want to smelt Kazdel's soil into source rock blocks, there are only two ways. The first method is electrolysis. The source stone will crystallize in the anode slime. The energy provided by the origin stone is huge - the loss outweighs the gain.

The second method is Lao Xia, washing and filtering with water, not to mention whether Terra has this level of nanofiltration membranes, even if they have nanofiltration membranes produced by the equipment and technology in the remains of the ancestors-this requires a lot of consumption The water and neutralizing agent will halogenate the sediment, and then filter and separate a small amount of source rock particles, and then turn the source rock particles into source rock blocks.

The energy consumption may be lower, but the labor and equipment consumption is simply an astronomical value, not to mention consuming a lot of water in the desert to do this... Isn't it more profitable for me to sell water directly?

"Well, the soil does contain a lot of impurities, but this is just right for me." The guide was invited from a nearby tribe, and he didn't quite understand that these people were armed with guns and sophisticated weapons, and they looked like elite royal account warriors. Why are people interested in mud and these excavated remains.

However, this does not prevent him from taking the two sacks of green wheat noodles that the other party took out, and trying his best to lead them to turn around all the ruins and abandoned facilities around them, except for the water source and grazing land of the tribe. , have been there.

"Clay composition..." Lao Xia held out the sand in his hand, "It's still high-speed iron clay. If you don't build a kiln for this thing, it's a bit wasteful to burn it." After finishing speaking, he circled this area on the PNIS map It is marked as "unsuitable for reclamation" area, but "high-speed rail clay origin" is marked on the side.

"There is Baihuiyuan in front of it. I suggest you don't go to that place. Not to mention wheat, there is not even a single grass growing there."

"Baihuiyuan? Take us to see it!"

"That place is very evil..."

"Huh?" Facing the sharp blade of Sarkaz's bodyguard, the guide gave in.

Baihuiyuan is a field at the foot of a wind-eroded mountain, and there are gray-white stones everywhere, "Ah, kaolin! Good stuff!" Lao Xia touched the stones and mud on the ground, and checked it with his portable testing equipment. Confirm your own judgment.

"Not only kaolin, but also bauxite and a small amount of rare earth. These people really waste things. Remember to build a railway here and a smelting station in the future."

With bauxite and rare earth, Lao Xia no longer needs to use local expensive and sad foreign ferroalloy materials according to local conditions. After the electrolysis plant, refinery and smelting station are established, he can produce the standard civil alloy steel of the Star Alliance. "Agricultural Wonders" is unlocked.

The problem now is that these factory equipment do not belong to his professional skills, and it is a little bit awkward, but, isn’t it a coincidence, there is a graduate from a technical school on the moon, I hope that guy learned these—— However, Lao Xia did not hold out any hope.

However, in any case, these resources are recorded here first, in case they are used later?

Turning around, the PNIS holographic map excludes the resource land circled in red and the bad land marked in the blue circle that need to be dealt with. At present, all the available land in the area controlled by Chief Sati has been initially explored. Need to be adjusted according to the specific situation.

As far as the current situation is concerned, a total of 12 hectares of arable land can be cultivated. However, the water source of the oasis can support up to 3 hectares of land. Either find a way to find other underground water veins, or find a way to find other ways to replenish water.

Lao Xia once again misses the Star Alliance shopping network where even ice comets can be bought. It’s not that he doesn’t know how to keep water in desert planets and get water sources, but 2/3 of the methods need to be cut off, such as going to Antarctica to pull an iceberg over , smashing an ice meteorite or comet, etc., and drilling into the deep water layer, or laying a seawater desalination pipeline from the Iberian coast, etc.

The most feasible thing here is to build a transnational seawater desalination pipeline. He has a full set of seawater desalination technology and knowledge reserves, because farming is inseparable from water, and even seawater desalination cannot be solved. Alien land farming is basically bullshit. Damn stuff.

However, the amount of work is not as large as the industrial drone cluster of the Covenant. A ditch with a depth of 10 meters, a width of 7 meters, and a length of more than 3000 kilometers is dug by manpower from the Iberian Inland Sea to Kazdale, and then A water pipe with a diameter of five meters needs to be placed, a booster pump and a sterilization station will be built along the way, and an offshore desalination platform needs to be built at the end...

Basically, unless he unifies Terra, known as the king of Terra, and then mobilizes the workforce of all Terra, it is basically impossible.

And with that engineering ability, why not just choose the simpler one and dig a canal from Ursus?It also saves the desalination process, doesn't it?

"So, let's think about the problem of snowmelt water or transnational canals." Xia Lin's head was about to scratch, it would be too troublesome without engineering drone cluster production lines, and it would be even more troublesome without the resource support of the Star Alliance shopping network— — No matter what era people are, it will be very troublesome to be separated from the supply of the entire civilization — there are a lot of ways to solve the problem, but none of them can be used.

Chapter 64 Water Diversion Irrigation Project

Snowmelt water is the best solution for the current planting area, because there is a snow mountain near the south, and the entire area near the central part of Kazdale is a continuous mountainous area, and it shows a trend from southwest to northeast, and the south is more It is flat and gentle, and the rainwater falls along the hillside, winding into a river, and pouring into the Iberian Gulf to the southwest, irrigating the entire South Casdale Grassland.

On the north, there are rugged mountains, and the terrain presents a peculiar state of high in the north and low in the south, as if the entire Iberian Sea plate hits and squeezes to form a unique landform.

Coupled with the wind erosion effect in units of ten thousand years, a piece of strange mountains like waves are finally formed. This is also the place where the Sarkaz people started. This place is a paradise for guerrilla warfare.The lava ejection caused by the ancient plate collision formed a large number of porous mountain rocks, which were then eroded by flowing water and wind. There are many valleys, caves, rugged terrain and scarce surface water sources.

In the past history, the Sarkaz Demon King led his tribe to retreat here countless times, leaving the enemy helpless.The land-ships couldn't get in, and the large-scale infantry couldn't get the distribution map of the water source without internal support. In the end, they were either broken one by one or lost their way, or died of thirst in this natural maze.

But, on the other hand, it also means that the snow on the peak is very thick, but most of it flows down the south slope. After all, the warm current comes from the south. After passing the peak, it is difficult to melt the snow and form meltwater runoff.

Therefore, Lao Xia didn't have to explore south for long before finding a corner of the continuous mountains in the northeast of the Kazdale Desert.

"Cutting ice to get water?" The Sarkaz people looked at each other, what kind of mentally retarded plan is this, the ice and snow layers on the snow mountain are thick enough, but such thick snow and ice layers have not turned into seasonal rivers, You should know why, right?

This mountain range is also equally important to Dayan, because this terrain is blocked, it is like a diversion channel, and the water vapor brought by the monsoon is guided along the southern mountain range into Dayan territory in the northeast of Kazdale, shaping the southeast of Dayan. vast fertile soil.

However, the North Kazdale and Longnan deserts surrounded by mountains are really deserts. The water vapor is either blocked in the southwest near the Iberian Gulf, or is guided into the territory of Dayan along the trend of the mountains.

Not to mention Kazdel, the water source of Longmen relies on the rivers and snowfields that spread from Ursas, which is why Wei spent a lot of money to build canals in Longmen, not only for landscapes, but also for important water storage pools.

"Is there any problem with this?" Snow digging ice to make water belongs to the basic skills and introductory courses of interstellar agriculture. For example, the buddies on the moon are looking for lunar ice and preparing to dig ice to get water.

"My plan is to blow up the North Peak first."

"Wait a minute, do you still have that bomb?" W asked, she still had a fresh memory of the consequences of preparing to blow up the mountain for mining last time.

"No, the blasting I said is different from last time. It's not blowing up all of them. It's blowing up those overly protruding cliff faces to make the terrain of the North Peak relatively flat. Craggy rocks will do."

"and then?"

"Then build a vertical well, and use underground canals and open channels to contain irrigation water." Lao Xia spread the simple drawing on the table, which is a standard "mountain underflow type Karez" and other models are a little different, for example, near the hillside Where there are open channels for channeling snowmelt water into underground channels.

"The culvert leads here, and here I will build a large sealed water storage station, dome-shaped, 380Gpa high-pressure structure, 40 meters high, 200 meters in diameter, and can store nearly 200 million cubic meters of water in total. According to irrigation standards, set up from the top The water inlet and water inlet are guided to the second pressurized diversion station 40 kilometers away through the water supply pipe, and then supply irrigation water to all surrounding farmland."

"Cazdale is actually not short of water, it's just that the water is hidden in the deep underground and on the top of the mountain, and they are thickening almost every year, but they rarely melt on a large scale, because the warm and cold currents meet on the southern slope, and Only the low-temperature cold current shrouded here, and the water vapor brought by the warm current all turned into overlapping layers of ice sheets."

"So, you mean to blow a hole and let the rain in?"

"The amount of work is a bit big." Lao Xia scratched his head. If he still has a second nuclear bomb, he can consider it, or if it is a graviton bomb, it is easier to blow up the entire Kanan Mountains into a gate shape. ——As for the subsequent northward shift of the precipitation line as a whole, the rapid desertification of the southern grasslands is none of his business.

"So, in fact, we only need to blow up a passage with a relatively flat terrain, and then build a group of shafts here under the snow line, and then set up a shaft at a certain distance, so that the seepage water can be effectively absorbed, and then the surface melt can be absorbed through the open ditch. water."

"As for the low melting rate of snow water~ W, do you still remember how Ursus solved the water problem?" "Let me think about it? Ah, it seems to use that stove, right?"

"That's right, the tower heat furnace is equipped with ground pipes to quickly melt the snow in winter, and then introduce the underdrain to connect to the reservoir to replenish water and ensure that the irrigation equipment on the riverside can also be used during the dry season and freezing period. Of course, It's not needed now."

Because that artificial volcano really... produced a lot of meltwater, and now the reservoir even needs to open the gates in summer to release the water—it just makes the downstream Usas village a bit difficult—when farming in spring and summer every year, The bastards in the upper reaches began to release water, and the fertile land in the river valley was suddenly turned into muddy land by these bastards.

"And I improved the tower heat furnace a little bit. After all, we don't need it to provide high heat as power, but continuous, low-cost low heat. It is enough to ensure that the temperature near the snow line and the heat pipe is above 0 degrees."

Lao Xia came up with his own design of No. [-] tower thermal furnace. No. [-] is a thermal electric furnace for fixed power generation, No. [-] is a power furnace, and No. [-] is modified according to No. [-] design.

"Double-pipe circulation, here is connected to the heat energy liquid production machine" is actually a blood production machine, but in order to save everyone from panicking, Lao Xia made a drastic industrial beautification of this equipment.

As for the warm, viscous, gurgling, conspicuous red liquid, it was interpreted as the "hot energy liquid" used together with the "cooling leaf" that was added with a harmless dye to turn it dark purple.

"Then connect a pipeline to pass the waste water containing origin stone into the reactor, then use the origin stone waste water itself as a heat medium to circulate, and install a filter screen at the end of the cycle. You only need to regularly clean the crystal particles in the filter screen and supplement Originium waste water is fine.” Originium waste water can be obtained by improving the soil and digging wells to extract brine, highlighting a white whoring that adapts measures to local conditions and starts from scratch.

"I calculated the thermal power, and the square meter is only less than 10 watts. It can only melt a small circle of bottom snow around it and turn it into liquid to seep down, without forming a new heat source center to affect the formation of snowfall."

"However, in this case, the meltwater runoff is not enough?"
