The Legend of the Great Wilderness

Chapter 218 Large-Scale Land Reclamation

I heard that these things can take root in severely desertified land, and they can germinate when thrown on stones. Guyi is looking forward to them being on the fat black soil of [Qingshi Ling], which can be squeezed out of oil Planting, what kind of situation will it be like!
Guyi was always in a hurry, so he notified the Wan merchant who sent this kind of green vine cassava to send a large batch of green vine cassava roots in a hurry, and at the same time began to organize manpower to open up wasteland.

Anyway, the first season has been missed for almost a month, and it is too late to plant other crops, and all the land under the name of [Qingshi Ling] is in the state of uncultivated wasteland, why not try this thing If it fails, it is a waste of a month, just to accumulate experience and catch up with the second season of planting.

With the full support of cement factories, lime factories, and prefabricated board factories under the name of [Tiangong Group], the "Construction Corps Protecting Farmers and Land Reclamation Fortress Planning and Layout" arranged by Guyi in the early stage has almost unlimited resources. The slave labor force is available to drive, and the [Reclamation Fortress] and [Agricultural Grade [-] Riding Trail] have spread to an area beyond imagination in a short period of time.

Under Gu Yi's order, the construction speed of the [Reclamation Fortress] was increased several times again, and batches of "Construction Corps" were dispatched to the [Reclamation Fortress] that had already been built.

In the cold winter, under the auspices of Gu Yi, the design, development, and production began. After the successful trial production of the steam engine, various agricultural machinery that underwent another transformation were sent to various [reclamation fortresses] in large numbers. .

The area of ​​fields in the territory of [Qingshi Ling], roughly estimated by Gu Yi, is about 47500 square kilometers, but after excluding mountains, woodlands and lakes, the actual area is probably more than ten times the estimated field area, that is, 50 square kilometers kilometer.

This is a huge and terrifying area, and it is definitely impossible to complete the land reclamation in a short period of time by manpower alone, even if the tactics of going to sea are useless.

Therefore, Gu Yi did not engage in the old ways of developing from scratch. From the very beginning, he had been planning to directly carry out large-scale agricultural mechanization development, and thus racked his brains to produce a large number of steam engine agricultural machinery with various functions.

These monster-like monster-like monsters look weird, adopt the most primitive mechanical structure, use the most primitive steam power, and are even semi-automatic and semi-artificial. However, after testing, these stupid, black and thick The functions possessed by the guy can already meet Gu Yi's most basic requirements.

The effect of these black-tech agricultural machinery is of course not as good as the advanced agricultural machinery in Guyi's original world. Whether it is efficiency or function, it is enough for Guyi to be able to reach one-fifth. However, compared with the agricultural level of the Great Wilderness World, These black-tech agricultural machines are as brilliant as artifacts.

The most classic ones are the creative black-tech machinery created by Guyi, such as: [Steam Bull I-Type 2] tractor/excavator/shoveler, [Turning Dragon I] multi-functional integrated plow tiller , and [Grassing Dragon I] row-type multi-knife deep plow steam plow, [Centipede I] steam-driven self-propelled combine harvester/seeder/watering machine/fertilizer, automatic baler, threshing machine, thresher…

When these "bald" big monsters with four legs, eight claws and teeth and dancing claws appeared in front of the slaves, smoking black smoke, it was heard that one day most of them peed in their crotch, walking all the way, and people kowtowed along the way.

It is unrealistic to go directly to the machine. Under Gu Yi's order, the 150 million "engineers" of the "Empty Field Brigade" were scattered into the wilderness with the newly promoted "Preparation Field Brigade" recruits , They will carry out three months of field combat training missions, adopt round-up hunting, capture animals in the wilderness alive, domesticate and raise them, and exterminate those that cannot be captured alive.

Wild horses, wild donkeys, wild cattle, wild deer, wild sheep, wild boars, wild wolves, wild foxes, wild badgers, wild foxes, hares, pheasants, wild ducks, wild sparrows, wild mice, wild flies... well, flies are fine, but the wilderness Guyi has seen the wild mice on the Internet. They are bigger than cats with fat heads and big ears. They are not picky eaters and reproduce quickly. Their fur is also good, and they are also a source of meat!

Anyway, Gu Yi didn't intend to let go of all the animals that could move. It was cruel to say it, but Gu Yi really didn't like these animals running around. He still preferred to put them in cages and raise them together.

And the large-scale "Construction Corps", closely following the hunting group of "Trapped Field Brigade", was also scattered into the wilderness. Their task is to collect any valuable wild crops, medicinal materials, Trees are collected and transplanted back for centralized planting.

At the same time, wherever the "Construction Corps" goes, it builds the [Reclamation Fortress] and the [Agricultural Grade [-] Riding Road] until it covers the entire [Qingshi Collar],

There are also a large number of prospecting teams accompanying them. Based on the information returned by the "Construction Corps" spread out through the net, they will find out all kinds of mineral deposits that may exist in the wilderness, whether it is porcelain clay, pottery clay, or simply some special stone. , for [Tiangong Group], as long as the existing technology can be used, there is nothing to waste.

After these locust-like teams swept the wasteland inch by inch, the first batch of 1000 million "land reclamation workers" followed those monster-level "steam mechanics" agricultural machines and began Dig the ground three feet and turn over eight times to open up wasteland.

The first wave of [steam-driven self-propelled combine harvesters] used to harvest and bundle the weeds all over the mountains and fields, and store them into fermented green fodder, which was prepared to be used to raise various wild animals caught by hunting groups.

The second wave of [Steam Cow I-Changed Type 2 Excavator] used to dig out large rocks that may damage the machinery and pile them up in a concentrated manner, which can be used to build [Reclamation Fortress] or agricultural horse roads.

The third wave [Steam Bull I-Modified Type 2 Bulldozer] passed, filling up the depressions, digging up the hills, and paving the way for the large combined agricultural machinery behind.

The fourth wave [Grassing Dragon I - row-type multi-knife deep plowing steam plow vehicle] has turned upside down the black soil that has been in a primitive state for hundreds of millions of years and is close to the surface one meter deep.

The fifth wave [Centipede Type I-Steam Driven Self-propelled Combined Fertilizer Applicator] passed, and the farmyard manure retting from a large number of biogas digesters in [Qingshi City] mixed with paris plaster powder was sprinkled into the soil.

The sixth wave [Turn Dilong Type I - multi-functional integrated plow tiller] used to beat large pieces of compacted soil into loose soil powder, and at the same time, farmyard manure was deeply buried in the soil as base fertilizer.

The seventh wave... the eighth wave... the whole process is over, um, change the position and do it again!
Since only one ivy cassava can be planted within one mu of land (666 square meters), the combined planter is useless and can only be planted by manpower. At this time, the crowd tactics can be deployed.

It is impossible to complete the land reclamation and planting of 50 square kilometers in a short period of time. Fortunately, there is no sowing season for ivy cassava.

The biogas dregs that had caused Gu Yi a headache had been consumed during this reclamation operation, so he no longer had to worry about how to deal with those stinky things.

But the problem is that he suddenly discovered that the fertilizer produced by the biogas digester in [Qingshi Ling] is not enough for the land to use, so that in places far away from [Qingshi City], the process of applying base fertilizer is simply omitted. Ivy cassava is not picked, just count as much as it grows.

However, this situation made Guyi have to consider whether it is necessary to start research on soil and chemical fertilizers. Farmyard manure alone is not enough for this kind of large-scale planting.

What made Gu Yi laugh the most was that because of the transportation problem, the biogas fertilizer was used in the area closest to [Qingshi City], and as a result, the whole area was filled with a terrible smell for a long time. The workers who have begun to get used to [Qingshi City]'s good sanitary environment complained a lot.

Moreover, those [Hegong] master craftsmen almost collapsed seeing Guyi burying all the dirty things in the soil, and rushed to find him desperately, because in the Great Wilderness, there was no such thing as using fertilizers at all. It depends on the crops' native growth. In their concept, if those stinky things are buried in the soil, wouldn't the crops that grow become stinky?Can I still eat it?

Tell them about Guyi who can't explain clearly, and finally get angry and ask them to experiment by themselves, open two test fields, fertilize and not fertilize respectively, and discuss this issue with him when the final harvest is over.

Due to various factors such as transportation, agricultural machinery and equipment, planting technology, etc., it is impossible to use all 50 square kilometers of land in a short period of time. Guyi can only do his best to obey the destiny. For a round of planting, I believe that experienced [farmers] will continue to develop on their own, and there is no need for him to follow along.

Guyi is a hard worker. Just after finishing the arrangements for land reclamation and planting, the hunting team began to drive the captured wild animals back batch by batch. He had no choice but to put himself into another round of intense work. .

Fortunately, the construction of the large-scale breeding park had already started when he issued the arrest order, and the feed had been stored in the early stage of land reclamation, so there was no need to worry about these captured animals starving to death.

The [He Gong] and [Beast Worker] master craftsmen who were idle to catch lice, now finally have something to do, but suddenly they have to go from a leisurely life to a work schedule that keeps up with Gu Yi's work. I almost didn't exhaust these famous craftsmen who are no longer young.
