Will Beast Ear Girl Encounter Alien Ranch Story?

"What does he do?" As soon as he entered the docking area, he saw a two-meter-high monster walking by with a sledgehammer. The thick combat uniform and armor completely covered her.

A muffled voice came from under the mask of the "farmer", "I'm going to the planting room to dig the soil"

"Why do farmers bring a hammer?"

"Have you been to the ground too?"

"......No"

"Then what are you asking?" For some reason, Xingxiong felt that what the other party said made sense, but Xiao Chen's entire face flushed red, but he couldn't say a word.

She had never landed before, so naturally she didn't know what tools were needed to land, and she couldn't produce any evidence to prove that the big man opposite didn't need a hammer to land.

"Let me see, how did you get down?"

"Yes" the big man walked directly to the greenhouse of the cultivation cabin, and smashed the sledgehammer on the ground, the soil twisted and churned as if alive, and soon there were neat rows of soil.

"...Okay" The reality is before him, he can really turn over the ground with a sledgehammer, maybe that hammer is his staff, and he is just turning over the ground with the Originium skill.

"Hey hey~" The silver-haired girl doctor laughed with a blood bag in her arms, "What does she do?"

"Ahem, I'm the doctor on board, what's wrong?" The other party immediately stuffed the blood bag in his hand into the small refrigerator, putting on a serious look.

"You took the..."

"Blood Transfusion Bag"

"you....."

"I, the Blood Demon, hold a blood transfusion bag in my hand during the rest time. That's reasonable, right?"

"She is the one who was fired from the blood bank..."

"Why do you want to defile people's innocence?" Fa Hualin said with a straight face, "I never steal blood banks, I always separate patients and food very clearly, not to mention, I set up and manage the blood bank in Rhode Island of."

"That......"

"That's another one, the sweeper behind you." Fa Hualin is an old acquaintance of Kelsey, a blood demon doctor, and a veteran of Rhodes Island. He joined Rhodes Island or the Tower of Babel very early. , is also the two cornerstones of the Rhode Island medical system.

"Although those of my race like to cause trouble, I am different. In addition, if you are not patients, please don't interfere with my normal work here."

"It's really not the blood bank you stole?"

"I never steal the blood bank." Of course, the doctor who stole the blood bank was stealing it for her. There is no need to say this. As a long-term partner, after the other party was caught and fired, he could only come to Fa Hualin in Rhodes Island Looking for a job.

"Then these people..."

"Amiya Logistics"

"Fawn Bee Industry"

"Security Department of Xia's Agricultural Products Group"

"..."

"Except for Amiya Logistics, which is registered in Usas, the above companies have just registered in Longmen. They all belong to a force called the Integration Movement, but they are all affiliated with Xia's Agricultural Products Group. It is difficult to say whether the integration movement is their behind-the-scenes force or they have cultivated this force.”

"What is the origin of that integration movement?" "It is said that it is a mutual aid organization for the infected. I don't know more. They are limited to activities in the north of Ursus, and the blockade of Ursas forced them to integrate all their forces. Come and live, these news come from those infected people who escaped by chance, but it’s hard to say whether it’s true or not.”

After communicating with her subordinates for a while, Xiao Chen didn't go further on this issue, because Old Wei would never allow it, and she couldn't go to Ursas to investigate their real situation.

And from the current point of view, the activities of these three departments or companies are very normal. In terms of agricultural products, they sold a lot of flour and so on, and then purchased a large amount of seeds and agricultural machinery, especially tractors, and the Rhode Island hangar is fast. It's full.

Xiaolu Bee Industry didn’t buy anything, they sold about 1.2 million Longmen coins of honey, of which a transaction tax of 2000 million Longmen coins was provided to Lao Wei. Since it was a newly established company, it was another transaction, and there was no Any avenues for tax exemption and avoidance.

After the sale, all the Longmen Coins were used to purchase various seeds and agricultural equipment. It looked like a serious farming company. Well, at least Xiao Chen didn't see anything wrong with them.

Of course, if Rhodes Island is going to do something big in the north of Usas, then a reliable agricultural company is a necessary supporter. Although she doesn't know much about Usas, she still understands the basics of geography.

After searching around, nothing was found, but without looking at it, I could feel that they were all perfunctory. Xiao Chen could only go back home, and then a few days later, Old Wei personally sent an apology email. Of course, Everyone knows that you can't believe a word of that old dragon. Without his hint and permission, it is impossible for Xiao Chen to come to Rhodes Island suddenly to find something like this.

Chapter 91 Sweet honey~ Literally, sugar~

After Rhode Island's procurement trip is completed, they still need to return to Victoria via Kazdale, and then enter the territory of Ursus from the gap between Victoria and Ussus, and sail along the outermost border area of ​​Ussus.

It is different from the previous convoy. For such a big thing, it is almost impossible to advance submerged on the territory of Ursus, so it must follow certain paths and rules.

First of all, there is no way to enter the territory belonging to the Black Snake in the northeast of Ursus. The only option is to enter the defense zone of General Herag, who is stationed near Victoria. Although the general himself does not seem to be in the defense zone, Kelsey Lord's connections worked as well as ever.

It was easy for Rhodes Island to obtain the entry permit. The next step is to enter the northern wilderness along the more friendly neutral area. During this period, you have to avoid the places where the old-school nobles and the new-style nobles have a bad relationship with Kelsey. , bypassing their patrols and fleets.

This means that the entire voyage of Rhodes Island will take more than half a year to arrive at the place agreed by Kelsey and them. Even though Rhodes Island is a pharmaceutical company in name, such a large land cruiser will It is still difficult to enter the core area of ​​a sovereign country, and everyone feels that it is very worthwhile to spend more than two months.

When Rhodes Island was still sailing in the wilderness with billowing smoke and dust, Xia Lin's farm finally ushered in the late harvest season. If almost all the corn and soybeans were not frozen to death by the ice storm, in fact their The harvest time can be advanced two months to about June, instead of starting to enter the harvest period in mid-August now.

This means that there are only two rounds of three rounds of planting in a year, and the second round has to be filmed, fertilized, and planted as quickly as possible after harvesting moss wheat. It can be said that everyone is busy With all four feet in the air, even ordinary civilians in Schützburg, not far away, came to help because of the high in-kind remuneration offered by the farm.

To be honest, under normal circumstances, there is almost no room for "Mike" to live in the one-year harvest on the snowy permafrost of Usas. If Lao Xia's farm is so anxious, everyone will feel angry. It is rare for a scythe to be thrown into a field.

The bull is used to harvest the high-value sugar beet, and immediately after the harvest, it will carry out the work of digging, sowing and replenishing fertilizer. It has a large horsepower, but after all, there is only one bull, and the cultivation and harvesting range per unit time are also limited.

In fact, most of the time it is operating at the lowest power, and it hardly takes advantage of its own high horsepower. Of course, under normal circumstances, the bull should be equipped with a large number of auxiliary agricultural drones, half of its engine output is Prepared for these.

And its heavy plow is also for desert planets that require deep plowing to turn out warmer soil, rather than permafrost, which is an unlucky landform that gets colder and barren the deeper you dig.

However, high horsepower also has the benefits of high horsepower. The frozen permafrost is forcibly crushed and rolled up to the surface. Under the sun in August, it gradually softens and becomes high-quality soil with subsequent supplementation.

One of the biggest advantages of these permafrost soils is that almost no insect eggs survive, and the mellow soil that is turned down will be quickly frozen in the winter of Ursus, killing most of the insect eggs and bacteria.

However, the burden of the bull's work means that the harvest of sycamore and cloudberry can only be done manually, as well as the coffee beans in the greenhouse, the guarana fruit, and the vegetable sheds in the private plots near the settlement. Rely on Yelena and Tallulah to organize manpower to harvest.

It is also necessary to prevent the mature crops from attracting a large number of animals and birds. The barrenness of Ursas is the same for animals and birds. Such a rich and concentrated food source is also an irresistible temptation for them.

Therefore, Yelena had to organize a team of snow monsters to take shotguns to deal with these greedy little guys everywhere. By the way, she also organized shield guards to defend the border and prevent the same humans from stealing food.

As for Tallulah, the infected people who organized the integration movement and ordinary people who came to work formed an agricultural group, and after simple training and task assignment, they were thrown into the field as soon as possible.

Compared with her poor farming skills, Tallulah's management level is still a little bit, after all, it was taught by Black Snake. (Talulah's integration movement can have a full meal on the snow field ~ enough to see)

Although I don't like his ideas, there is no good or evil in technical means. With reasonable planning and arrangements, basically groups of Ursas people wearing straw hats can be seen sweating in the fields around the entire farm.

Under the automatic combine harvesting equipment, the soil is rolling like waves, and the sugar beets that have reached the harvesting standard are turned up, washed by the conveyor belt and high-speed airflow, and then dropped into the storage box.

The diameter of each genetically modified beet is more than 8-12 cm, showing a very beautiful dark purple with circular lines. According to Lao Xia's test, its sugar content is about 18%-19%, which can reach the harvesting process standard.

The industrial sugar extraction machine that has been installed has been commissioned a week in advance. Sugar extraction from sugar beets is a bit different from sugar cane. Sugar cane is forcibly crushed with sugar rollers, while sugar beet is more complicated and requires a process involving ion infiltration.

"Wow~" A truckload of beets was dumped in the sugar cellar at the door of the processing room, and the big-waisted Ursas infected person who was waiting on the side picked up the beets one by one and quickly washed away the remaining soil on them with the water spray gun in his hand. and grass residue, and then throw it into the delivery trough on the side.

A conveyor belt takes them through a wash-down fence made up of high-pressure water-mist guns, where they are thoroughly cleaned before entering a pre-treatment cabin.If the sugar beet processing machinery of the Star Alliance does not rely on smart chips and automation, in fact, there is not much change in terms of principle and structure.

In other words, the principle and general structure of human agricultural machinery, as long as there are no major changes in crops, will hardly be upgraded with the changes of the times-at most, there will be certain changes in power, volume and processing efficiency.

The shredding machine is a standard centrifugal shredding machine. The thinner and thinner the beet shreds, the better the sugar penetration effect in the vegetable juice. Under the action of the high-speed centrifuge, the sharp wall knife quickly removes the input beet The skin is peeled into slender thin wires, and then enters the sugar machine like a spiral tube.

This is a DDS chute-type double-helix continuous osmosis device. The sugar content of beets is stored in the cell fluid, which is broken by heating and shredding, and the sugar content in it is exchanged with the water for osmosis.

The shredded cabbage and water are input at opposite angles, so that the osmotic pressure difference at each position is roughly equal, so that the thick sugar water is quickly output from one side, and the temperature, microbial content and water purity are completely controlled by the intelligent system. Let the whole set of infiltration equipment reach the highest efficiency.

For a single piece of equipment, according to Xia Lin's current medium-sized exudation system, it can process about 7000 tons to 10000 tons of beets per day.

During the whole process, the temperature is the most troublesome, because it must be controlled at 70~75 degrees, and it is also necessary to quickly change the temperature and pH of the permeated water according to what is stuffed into the food inlet, so as to avoid unnecessary waste. Non-sugar ingredients and colloids are also leached out.

The final output is brown sugar water, which contains about 12%~16% sucrose. At the same time, the waste sugar dregs and waste dregs water can be dehydrated to account for 90% of the sugar beet mass (including 6% dry solids) ) stuff into the next set of permeators, and the cycle is repeated until 95% of the sugar is squeezed out.

The pursuit of sugar by human beings has made the sugar making process the most efficient in agricultural technology. It takes almost 20 years to achieve a sugar yield of 1%, while the equipment of the Star Alliance can reach 98%. Left and right, the limit has been reached, and the cost of nano dismantling is not cost-effective at all.

The brown sugar solution also contains about 2% of non-sugar ingredients, through the ion osmosis sugar production method, including ion exchange resin, membrane electroosmosis, super osmosis, reverse osmosis, and a series of means of surfactants - sugar industry basics The top is a high-tech child in agriculture, who dares to use anything up - it can remove 99% of non-sugar components and colloids, and finally get a viscous sugar solution with a very strong sweet taste that enters the sugar cooking part.

There is nothing special about this part. It settles, heats, and crystallizes. The waste molasses left at the end still contains about 50% sucrose. Under the technical conditions of ancient times and Terra, they can only produce sucrose calcium salt with lime and sucrose Reheat to become sucrose milk calcium, add it to the sugar pot, and decompose it into sucrose and calcium hydroxide in a saturated state.

However, this will produce a large amount of soft sugar, which will affect the crystallization of sucrose, and it is difficult to recycle. Xia Lin has a way to deal with it, using melibiase to decompose it, and by the way, the produced lactose can also be decomposed for recycling Lose.

Finally, after going through the long processing workshop, the sugar cooking workshop where the high temperature seems to be steaming, and the final ultra-low temperature crystallization workshop, what appears on the machining conveyor belt is snow-white sugar, which will finally be slightly dissolved in the spray water mist environment. , high-pressure pressed into pieces of sugar about 3 centimeters, quickly packaged and stacked in a box of 10 pieces of Terra's traditional packaging.

It can even be said that the packaging link has become the biggest shortcoming in the whole process, so after discovering this, Lao Xia removed the packaging and left the white sugar as if it were a sugar storage cellar dug out of the ground like a quicksand waterfall.

To be honest, not to mention the short-sighted Ursus ordinary people, even Kelsey has never seen so much sugar piled up together, which is even more shocking than the previous honey. The bee farm is restricted by the flowering period, and the short-term output It's okay, but soon after the flowering period is over, there will be no output.

However, granulated sugar is different. The sugar beet planted in Laoxia has a yield of about 67-80 tons per hectare (one hectare is 15 mu, and the yield per mu is about 5.3 tons, which is slightly higher than that of Chinese sugar beet. The climate is not suitable for sugar crops, I think the yield is reasonable, the international average is 3.5 tons per mu).

Because of genetic improvement, the growth is fast and the sugar accumulation is fast, resulting in a large number of strange ingredients and rough fibers that cannot be eaten at all (industrial crops).

A few guys who sneakily took some of them back to cook beetroot soup were not only caught by the shield guards, hanged up and beat them, but the soup also made them have diarrhea all day, lost two whole days of performance, and regretted so much that their intestines were green.

That is to say, based on his planting area of ​​about 20 square kilometers and half of sugar beet is more than 1200 hectares. According to the average median yield...more than 9 tons of sugar beet, just mechanized pretreatment It takes more than a week, and the final sugar production is about 14500 tons of granulated sugar.

What is the concept of 200 tons of granulated sugar? At first, the food merchants in Schüzburg thought that they could come and get some cheap granulated sugar. They boldly issued an order for 1 tons of granulated sugar, but it turned out that more than [-] tons were waiting to be processed. , His face turned green on the spot.

The more than 8 tons of sugar dregs that have been completely squeezed out still contain a large amount of non-sucrose components, such as fructose, protein, and cellulose, and are very good feed after fermentation.

It happened to be used to feed the pigs in the farm and the local livestock in Terra. Since the farming scale of the farm was not large, part of it was exchanged at low prices by the surrounding infected settlements and ordinary towns like Shuzburg. .

Theoretically speaking, these sugar dregs can be eaten by humans, but as industrial sugar crops, even after fermentation, the inedible ingredients in them still exceed the standard, and symptoms of diarrhea and indigestion will still occur if eaten in large quantities. It is best to take to feed the cattle.

In contrast, with the use of chemical fertilizers and high-quality soil, the yield per mu is only about 200 kilograms, and less than 300 kilograms of moss makes the expressions of all Ursas farmers very embarrassed, because if it is calculated by kilograms, planting beet Converted from the land, the sugar production must be 800 kilograms per mu of land.

As a result, when harvesting, the moss wheat was growing well. After harvesting, threshing and weighing found that the wet weight was less than 300 kilograms per mu, and it might shrink by about 20% after drying.

"Lao Xia, let's not grow moss next year, it's not worth it!"

"I don't want to plant either, but the high-yield seeds I have are not enough to sow such a large area." Xia Lin also had a headache, originally the seeds were enough, but who knew that an ice storm would directly freeze you to death on the ground. Here, what can I do?

You can’t send emails here, so let the nearest breeding center send you an interstellar express. If you breed by yourself, the breeding scale is there, and at least two rounds of breeding are enough for large-scale planting.

"Besides, beetroot can't be planted all the time. Didn't you notice that the mud is hardened?" Lao Xia squatted by the field and put a piece of soil in his palm to show Yelena, "Look, it has already been desertified. Not only will there be very little sugar in one round, but it will also cause great damage to the land.”

Sugar beet is a biennial crop, so under normal circumstances, its output should be halved. If it is a place where it can be harvested twice a year, it has to be halved to be the real comparison data.

Although the high-tech gadgets here in Laoxia make it a successful annual and can be harvested in August, the price is that the extremely developed root system completely sucks up the nutrients in the soil with the efficiency of zerg plundering organic matter, so, next time Fertilizer and topdressing are necessary for the first round, and the soil has to be turned over again. It is impossible to plant another round.

"But, anyway, we have so much sugar, the second half of the year will be better." Yes, the infected people and ordinary wage earners who participated in the harvesting and seeding work are happy to carry a 1.5 kg bag of white sugar and are satisfied gone back.

Not to mention that a large part of the waste molasses and sugar dross is also sent to the distillery, and the low-quality rum can still be produced in batches. For the bears of Ursas, there is wine and sugar, and the winter is not difficult at all. It can even be said that it is more comfortable than in the south.

However, they soon became uncomfortable, because after rushing to plant legumes and alfalfa plants, they still need to happily face the cloudberries all over the mountains and plains. They cannot be harvested by mechanization, and they have to pick them one by one with gloves. Words are useless.

Cloudberries will be used to make canned cloudberries. This golden berry can be used for many purposes, such as making cakes, making jams, and even because it contains a lot of natural antiseptic ingredients, you can use it to treat urinary tract infections. medicinal.

And Xia Lin is preparing to make canned cloudberry jam. The cloudberry tastes sour. After adding a lot of sugar, it is the king of calories in the jam. The hottest food pairing of the year.

As for the high-quality granulated sugar of his sugar production and tonnage, it is not Xia Lin's consideration that the sugar factories in Usas will go bankrupt, because in the future, the planting area will expand to the north, so that the moss and alfalfa yielded rhizobia-amended soil to a second round of sugar beets a year later.

As for the southern region, if it is stable, Xia Lin plans to lease land in Kazdale through her registered agricultural products company and Kelsey's network.
