Farming people can not collapse

Chapter 142

Generally speaking, farming also needs to pay attention to individual tailoring. What kind of climate and soil are suitable for the crops in this notice are not the same.

According to the current high temperature environment in Cherry City, planting upland rice is more suitable than rice, because there is no paddy field in Cherry City, and the soil is dry.

But Zhou Yang gave up upland rice after careful consideration.

One reason is that the original temperature in Cherry City was not so high, so most of the stocks stored in the grain store are rice seeds, and the second reason is the main reason - the yield rate of upland rice is low, it is better to grow rice, the big deal Man-made paddy fields if there are no paddy fields!

After Zhou Yang put forward this idea, he also received full support—isn’t it just paddy fields!

The earth-type abilities, strength-type abilities, and water-type abilities said that they are completely fine!

As for the irrigation problem... There are quite a lot of water-type superpowers in their flower planting base, no matter how strong or weak they are, they can do it anyway. The problem of water resources that once plagued everyone is not such a troublesome problem now.

After all, everyone also wants greater gains.

Now that you have reached an agreement, let's start to act.

Zhou Yang led everyone to start work that afternoon, transforming the swimming pools of several of the villas into experimental rice fields.

At this time, Zhou Yang also confirmed that the planted corn bears fruit and is not the kind of empty fruit but full of grains, so he put most of his energy on the rice.

Five hundred catties of rice seeds, to Zhou Yang's delight, half of them were three-season rice.

The so-called three-season rice is rice that is ripened three times a year, and generally exists in tropical regions.

Although in comparison, the kind of rice that ripens once a year will be more delicious because of its long growth cycle and sufficient sunlight.

But the most important thing now is not whether it is delicious or not, but whether it is enough to eat. This kind of rice that can be planted three times a year is what they need most, and it is what Cherry City needs most now.

"Thanks to our team Zhou, otherwise, even with these millets, I don't know how to plant them. I thought we could just bury them in the soil and then water and fertilize them!"

Kobayashi, who is now working in the logistics team, performs daily blowing.

The difference between supernatural beings and ordinary people in the flower planting base is not particularly clear. Ordinary people can join patrols or hunting teams, and supernatural beings can also stay in the logistics team. It all depends on the two-way choice of the team and the individual.

Just like Kobayashi, his ability is water, which was weak at the beginning. Later, although his ability was improved by using the grown vegetables, it was not in terms of attack, but only able to transform The water has only increased.

So he is now one of the water providers in the logistics.

And Kobayashi has changed too much from being forced to work at the beginning to actively working now. Compared with the exaggerated words deliberately exaggerated in order to hug his thighs before, every word he says now is sincere.

Kobayashi's words have been recognized by many people.

Especially people like Xiaolin's age, even those who grew up in the countryside, don't necessarily know how to grow rice.

Because they are generally only asked by adults to do some trivial tasks when they are children, and when it is time to study, there are even fewer times when it comes to doing farm work.

If you can read the book, you will stay away from farming in the countryside. Even if you can’t read the book and leave the campus, most of them will choose to go out to work. Not only can you see the world, but you can earn more money than digging in the soil with your face on the loess and your back to the sky. .

Aunt Lan is also like this. She had experience in farming when she was young, but she has been a charter woman all these years, and although she can pick up farm work after a little practice, it really makes her wait for so much rice, which is the base's high hope, she He also had no idea and didn't dare to reach out.

And when she saw Zhou Yang's preparatory work before planting the millet, she was secretly glad that she didn't swell her face to make herself fat.

Aunt Lan was dazzled by the various operations of those rice seeds before they were planted in the soil. There were many steps that she didn’t understand, but it didn’t matter. She had eyes. Afterwards, it turned into the big golden area that it is today. The ears of corn are heavy, and they all bend their heads. It is very gratifying to look at.

Who can not sigh the scene of this harvest?

Because they wanted to feel the joy of the harvest, almost everyone in the base wanted to go to the fields to harvest the grain, even Ahn'Qiraj, who was usually obsessed with medical research, was eager to try.

It was Zhou Yang and Wei Ge who, according to their usual observations, selected people who were not rash, careful, calm, and patient to do the job of harvesting rice.

Those who have not been assigned don’t have to worry, there is also the job of picking up millet—when I was in the countryside, most of this work was done by children, with a small basket in their hands, picking up as they walked.

However, there were few children in the base, so the adults rushed to do this matter.

In addition, there is also threshing of millet—after all, there is no need for machines or anything, only manual labor is required, and there are also things like drying millet, which are quite a lot of work.

Now, everyone is busy working on this valley, even Wei Ge is working hard to cut the grain.

Zhou Yang: "...Why don't you let me cut the millet?"

Zhou Yang found out that he was arranged to be with children—hey, hey, don't forget that he is the biggest contributor to this valley?

"It's because you've been busy before, so now it's time for you to enjoy the rest. And these children can't be left alone, leave it to me." Wei Ge firmly rejected Zhou Yang who wanted to roll up his trouser legs Shimoda's move.

Zhou Yang couldn't compete with him, Zhihao sat in the shade with a group of little Douding and watched Wei Ge and the others work.

At the beginning, Zhou Yang first divided the five hundred catties of millet into several piles according to the different types of grain, and then put the millet under the sun for two days.

At that time, everyone was quite puzzled, but Zhou Yang was not just working dull, so he explained to them that doing so can effectively reduce the thickness of the seed coat, promote the activity of enzymes, and significantly increase the germination rate of seeds.

Not only that, proper drying of seeds can effectively reduce the germination-inhibiting substances in the seeds, and can dry the moisture in the seeds, which can achieve the effect of disinfection and sterilization.

Two days later, Zhou Yang soaked the dried seeds in water again.

This time, without waiting for others to ask questions, Zhou Yang took the initiative to explain that soaking the seeds in water after drying the seeds can promote the water absorption of the seeds, ensure that each seed has sufficient water for germination, and improve the uniform rate of germination.

At that time, Maca said with a smile that this principle is similar to that of girls who first use concealer and foundation to cover the redness on the face when putting on makeup, and then apply blush again after covering it.

However, this soaking is not about soaking for a few minutes or an hour or two before letting go, but about soaking in warm water for about a week.

During the period, Zhou Yang also sprinkled the prepared medicine and mixed with the seeds, which can completely eliminate the germs in the seeds and effectively prevent bakanae and other diseases.

After soaking and disinfecting the seeds, saving them is the equally important work of accelerating germination.

So under the bewildered eyes of everyone, Zhou Yang air-dried the seeds after soaking them, and then wrapped them with a damp cloth to accelerate germination.

Humidity control at this time is very critical. If the humidity is too high, the seeds will rot, but if the humidity is too low, the seeds will shrink and lose the ability to germinate due to insufficient moisture.

In addition to humidity, temperature is also an important factor.

Because of the burning of underground coal, the temperature of the whole city in Cherry City has risen, but also because the location of underground coal burning is not fixed, the temperature of Cherry City is very irregular, and it cannot be passed through the air as in a normal natural environment. The hot and cold temperature can be adjusted.

In order to find out this degree, without the help of other scientific instruments, Zhou Yang carried out individual experiments one by one, making detailed records every hour, and hardly slept in the past few days.

Fortunately, Zhou Yang's previous experience and the inheritance from the flower planter in his memory saved him from many detours. After carefully setting the variables, he succeeded without wasting too many seeds.

In the end, about 440 catties of seeds were successfully germinated.

After the germination was successful, in order to allow the seeds to adapt well to the natural environment such as planting temperature, Zhou Yang carried out the last work of drying the seeds.

The main purpose of drying the seeds this time is to enhance the adaptability of the buds. The method is also very simple. It is to spread the grain seeds with tender white shoots emerging from the chaff in the room for half a day to dry. This is finally completed. All preparations before planting.

It took half a month of hard work, but the hard work was worth it.

After Zhou Yang's careful treatment, the original 90.00% to 440% germination rate was increased to [-]%, and the remaining [-] catties of rice seeds from the original experiment were fully utilized.

After the rice seeds germinate, they grow into seedlings, which are then artificially transplanted into fertile paddy fields that have already been built.

When planting seedlings, it is also very particular.

After considering the existing conditions and needs, Zhou Yang chose the third one among greenhouse seedling raising, wet seedling raising and throwing seedling raising.

The reason is also very crude and simple. The amount of seeds needed per mu for these three types of seedlings is 7, 8, and 3 jins respectively. Considering that there are only about [-] jins of seeds nowadays, it is natural to use small to make big.

Otherwise, how could it be possible that today, three months later, the 25 mu (after all, halfway through the experiment and the growth process in the field is also wasted) golden rice waves?

Therefore, when Wei Ge said that Zhou Yang had worked hard, it was not just selfishness because of love. In this golden rice field, Zhou Yang has been busy all the way, and everyone can see it.

Zhou Yang, who was arranged to be with the children, quickly adjusted his mentality after the initial depression, and held the "Farming Lecture" with the little Douding.

"The dried seeds have to be re-soaked in water. This step is called 'soaking seeds'. Who of you remembers what 'clean seeding' is for? If you answer correctly, you will be rewarded~"

Zhou Yang held a radish and said temptingly——it’s hard to imagine that vegetables that children avoid in normal society have become a delicacy that children covet at this moment.

The ten or so children's eyes widened when they heard the words, and they began to think about it. At this time, a baby voice sounded: "It is to replenish water for the seeds, and the seeds will germinate when they are full of water." ~"

Zhou Yang smiled: "Hey, Xiao Miao got the answer right! You're so cute, what kind of radish do you want to eat?"

The other children looked at the little girl enviously.

Xiao Miao was embarrassed by Zhou Yang's gentle gaze: "Little, little rabbit."

Zhou Yang took out a knife as thin as a cicada's wing, peeled off the skin of the radish with a few swipes, and then dropped out a radish rabbit the size of Xiao Miao's fist, cut it off and gave it to her.

Xiao Miao was so overjoyed that she held the little rabbit in both hands and couldn't bear to eat it.

Xiaoshui's three brothers and sister, Xiaoshui, studied healing with Doctor Ahn'Qiraj; the only boy, Xiaozhu, was attracted by Wei Ge's strength. Although he was not inspired by his abilities, he also signed up to practice martial arts with the patrol team in the base—— Ordinary people in the flower planting base are not those who are soft and only hide behind others to be protected. They can also pick up weapons and go into battle to kill zombies; the youngest sister, Xiao Miao, has supernatural powers, but because she is too young, everyone She was reluctant to part with it, and she was very clingy to Zhou Yang, and she would become Zhou Yang's "little tail" whenever she got the chance.

Unknowingly, Xiao Miao learned a lot about farming.

Zhou Yang was also very surprised by the little girl's talent in this area, so she changed from coaxing children to really caring about teaching.

Except for Xiao Miao, other children also like to hang out with Zhou Yang. Zhou Yang has long been accustomed to this kind of situation. Whether he is in the real world or in the worlds he has experienced, he is very fond of cubs.

Here, after Zhou Yang cut the rabbit for Xiao Miao, he ate the leftovers, and then continued to ask questions.

Three days later, the rice was completely harvested, and Zhou Yang selected some plump ones to be used as seeds for further improvement.

The freshly harvested rice needs to be dried in the sun to remove excess water, but they can’t wait to dry the newly harvested rice, so they can’t wait to remove the hulls from the new rice and cook a big pot of white rice.

I don't know if it's because it tastes better when they make it by themselves, but they feel that the white rice is sweeter than ever.

Everyone was immersed in the harvest and peaceful atmosphere, and it was at this time that Thunder Base asked for help.

The author has something to say: I'm a bit busy today, I'll chat with you tomorrow.

就看了个拜登准备联合其他国家抵抗中国的新闻感谢在2020-11-1900:00:00~2020-11-2000:00:00期间为我投出霸王票或灌溉营养液的小天使哦~

Thanks to the little angel of the irrigation nutrient solution: 1 bottle of shine;
