Chapter 178 Feeding rate 100%
After turning north from the 60-degree south latitude line.
Xu Ming's luck became very ordinary.
In other words, my luck was so bad that within more than twenty days, I crossed the entire southern hemisphere and returned to the area north of the equator. The exploration journey of more than 6,000 kilometers in the middle did not leave a space-time anchor point.
Of course, Xu Ming didn't get anything. For example, fruit trees with a score of more than 90 points, gem minerals and some special plants... there are as many as 20 or 30 species of more important harvests.
However, Xu Ming's taste has been tricked and the threshold has been raised. In addition, the time and space anchor points are precious and should not be wasted at will, so it is not a very high value harvest, and space anchor points will not be set for it.
Although he ate nearly 100 vermillion fruits some time ago, his mental power increased again, increasing the number of standard space-time vortexes to 32 (20 are currently used), and the control range of time-time cutting has also increased to 50 meters... but he is still not as luxurious as "stomping around".
What's more, he is now conducting linear exploration, and the land area of this planet is much larger than that of Blue Star. If he does a comprehensive exploration, perhaps 1,000 vortexes of time and space may not be enough.
The only good news is that Xu Ming's "Five Hundred Days Global Exploration Plan" successfully broke through the 100th day and completed one-fifth of the progress.
"Hahaha, it's not bad, this is very efficient."
"Actually, the "Five Hundred Days Exploration Plan" stipulates that I explore an average of 200 kilometers per day, but in fact, I go about 300 kilometers per day and walk two complete big circles. Perhaps it only takes 333 days, and the actual progress of the completion should be about one-third."
"We have to continue our efforts! Work harder and strive to complete the "Five Hundred Days" plan ahead of schedule!"
...
June 27, afternoon.
Xu Ming received a voice call from Lao Yang.
Back to Blue Star, he slid to answer.
"Old Yang, what's wrong?"
"Xu Ming, tomorrow morning, I will drive to your place to pick you up and take you to Wuqiao Village... Can you take a moment?" Li Guoyang said.
"Pick me up? Did you encounter any problems in the greenhouse?"
"You thought about going there? How could you always ask you for trouble? This time it is a great thing! I want you to witness it together!" Li Guoyang said with a wry smile.
"What's the good thing?" Xu Ming asked curiously.
"The rye grass is ripe and can basically be harvested. We are going to harvest a batch tomorrow morning, so please come and have a look."
"What?"
Xu Ming was surprised and asked: "Didn't you say that ryegrass is growing well a few days ago, why is it going to be harvested suddenly? How come it is so fast?"
"Don't you know? Ryegrass can mature in at most twenty days, and its growth rate is ten times that of ordinary crops. Professor Wu and I were both shocked by such an exaggerated growth rate..."
Li Guoyang said endlessly, and he was also very surprised. Xu Ming did not work in that agricultural company. It is logical that he is more familiar with the habits of ryegrass, so he did not report the situation to Xu Ming every day. Now it seems that Xu Ming also looks like he knows very little?
"Ryegrass is a plant in the top secret area, and I can't go in every day. To be honest, if you don't tell me, I don't know that after planting it, it will be able to be harvested and mature in just 20 days. This is so scary, and I was a little scared."
Xu Ming explained that he was indeed scared. After taking the ordinary ryegrass in his arms to the Blue Star, he actually let himself go and grew like a kid, which was shocking.
In twenty days, if you change to other crops, you will probably only grow seedlings with chopsticks!
"Okay, Xu Ming, can you take some time? I'll pick you up tomorrow."
"Then come here, Lao Yang."
Xu Ming also became curious and wanted to go over and take a look.
...
the next day.
Wuqiao Village, greenhouse planting base.
After eighteen days of growth, although it has not matured completely, the wheat ears of ryegrass have become full, and the color has changed from blue to black, basically meeting the harvesting standards.
It was exactly nine o'clock in the morning.
Inside the cold shed on the north side.
"Mr. Li, all the preparations are done." said a female assistant.
“Start the harvest!”
Li Guoyang, holding a sickle in his hand, got out of the game himself, bent down and cut off the first handful of ryegrass.
"It's cut!"
"Go to see who can cut the fastest," said one of Professor Wu's students.
"Don't cut it blindly!"
Professor Wu, who also held a sickle in his hand, stopped him and said, "You must cut it all the roots, no misses, and you must hurt it. Don't let the rye grains fall off the ears, so that every grain is returned to the warehouse. I must accurately count the yield of rye and the weight of the stems."
"Yes! Mentor." The lively student said embarrassedly, but his hands were still not slow, and he wanted to do it quickly and well.
"The efficiency of sickle cutting is too slow."
Xu Ming also joined the harvesting team with a sickle in his hand. He murmured in his mouth, because if he cut in time and space, he would be able to finish it in a few seconds.
From the boss and employees to the R&D team, there are more than 30 on-site staff, with nearly 40 people.
The experimental harvest of ryegrass is only a standard size of one acre. It takes so many people to go together and it will take a while to finish it.
However, as a sealed greenhouse, too many people cannot be squeezed into it. Lao Yang asked one-third of them to be responsible for harvesting, one-third of them are responsible for transporting, and the remaining one-third are responsible for threshing... Division of labor and cooperation, each performs its own duties, everyone has excitement and expectation, all of them are quick to do and full of energy.
A lively harvest scene.
...
After more than an hour, the harvesting work was completed.
Take out a large scale and weigh it.
Everyone gathered over.
"Mr. Li, mentor, the data has been found! The fresh weight of rye is 106.3 kilograms, and the fresh weight of rye straw is 5830.3 kilograms!"
A student of Professor Wu reported.
"After 106 kg, the maximum amount of 70 kg of rye flour is obtained after drying and threshing, which is similar to the wheat yield grown by ancient farmers."
Professor Wu shook his head slightly, but considering the 20-day maturity period, it was surprising that even the yield per mu was 50 kilograms.
"Take the high-power baking equipment, dry some of the rye and grind it into powder. Everyone will eat rye noodles at noon! They also bring those cows over and feed them the fresh straw. If the cows eat delicious food, they can be digested. Ryegrass can also be used to raise cattle!"
Old Yang waved his hand and ordered again.
Professor Wu analyzed in the laboratory that the protein content of ryegras stems is as high as 25%, which is higher than the 20% protein content of the excellent feed plant alfalfa. The grass is fresh and tender, palatable, sweet, and other nutrients are also very comprehensive. It is a potentially excellent feed. If it is accepted by herbivores such as cattle and sheep and are willing to feed it, the application value of ryegrass is higher in the animal husbandry industry!
Soon, several big yellow cows borrowed from the villagers' homes and were led by employees by employees who had been hungry for a day.
Then throw several bales of ryegrass stalks in front of several cows.
Due to hunger, the cows quickly lowered their heads, sniffed a few times, then stretched out their wide beef tongue and rolled the ryegrass stems into their mouths.
Maybe it tasted delicious, and a few cows ate faster and faster. After a while, a pile of grass was licked to the ground.
Among them, there was a cow that ate faster. After eating his forage, he went to grab the one next to him, and then pushed each other and bumped into each other, making an angry voice like "Yeah~".
Finally, the ryegrass stems thrown in front of the cow were eaten clean by several cows, and they were not even satisfied. They walked towards the large pile of ryegrass stems not far away, making a longing "yeah".
"The feeding rate is 100%, and there is no doubt that this is the top animal husbandry feed!"
Looking at the bare ground eaten by cows, Professor Wu's eyes released an excitement!
Chapter completed!
