Old Mao looked at Lu Yuan's sullen face and suddenly thought of something.
"Old Lu, I have to remind you that our grain output can only feed these ten thousand people."
"We don't have chemical fertilizers, and the farmland yield is not high. We still have to raise chickens, and the chickens need to eat feed, right? It's another expense."
"No matter what...the chicken farm must be opened." Lu Yuan nodded.
The only creature with the highest meat-to-food ratio is chicken.
The meat-to-food ratio of chickens is quite high. If you eat 2 kilograms of grain, you can grow 1 kilogram of meat. In addition, chickens can lay eggs, so they are definitely the core of the breeding industry.
"Talent is the key to sustainable development."
"Even if it is harder now, the chicken farm still has to be opened. How can we develop without a healthy body?"
"Well, you don't care about the accounts. You don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are. At least 70% of our labor force must be engaged in the primary industry to ensure food and clothing. Under such circumstances, it is difficult for the secondary industry to develop." Old Mao shook his head.
It waved its paw again and pointed in the direction of the poppy tree: "And I have observed that the weakest batch of your insects are about to hatch out, about a hundred of them."
"You don't know what will happen after you starve."
"If these guys want to evolve, they have to eat extraordinary creatures. Even if it doesn't work, they have to mutate plants, right? If you can't feed them, it's a waste."
Lu Yuan looked troubled.
The potential is too deep, the resources are not enough, and the productivity is seriously insufficient.
But he couldn't solve this matter.
"Even if the Tree of Life is used to promote food production, it is not a long-term solution."
He counted the chips in his hand and looked at the bill given by Lao Mao.
It’s really...it’s hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice!
Suddenly, Conch telepathically said: [I think we can open an automated farm.]
[Didn’t you find the remains of several greenhouses? 】
Lu Yuan's heart moved, and then he sighed: "We have indeed discovered several agricultural planting bases, but how can we achieve this with the current talent quality?"
[Renovate the greenhouse and install the generator you brought.]
【Then find the inorganic salt you need.】
[I programmed the vines of the poppy tree, and then I can complete the work of the automatic farm.]
【I personally control the operation of the farm, so the productivity should be good.】
After a few people calculated it, it turned out that it was really interesting!
The generator was brought from the Rize Civilization.
The inorganic salts, petri dishes, and some machines required for soilless cultivation can also be found in Greenland Civilization.
In other words, Conch may have a hard time, but even with the assistance of "Green Paradise", the workload will not be too small.
"Praise the princess... Having a princess at home is far better than an army of 100,000." Lu Yuan clasped his hands and praised crazily, "After the first batch of high-quality grain is produced, the next things will be much easier to handle."
[Hmph, it’s only comparable to an army of 100,000 people? Looking at your face, are you already satisfied? 】
[Looks like you still have to rely on me to take you flying.]
Lu Yuan ignored her needy tone: "I don't want too many bugs to hatch. I want to stuff them into the buds and let them sleep... What do you think?"
[Okay, let’s hatch a few first and see. As long as the number is small, we can still afford to raise them. Don’t you want to control these bugs? Let’s give it a try then. 】
[I feel that my control over these bugs is not very strong.]
After all, the conch is not a female worm.
She can only give simple instructions to the insect swarm, but cannot use her arms and fingers to the insect swarm like the mother insect.
Under such circumstances, the risk of letting a swarm of low-intelligence insects run around is not low.
They couldn't tell the difference between humans and animals, so they might have eaten a farmer.
Therefore, through "control", risks can be reduced to a great extent.
"It seems that it would work if we let insects join the production team." Lu Yuan's mind was now filled with the three words "productivity".
He tried to put everything into it just to vigorously develop productivity!
As for the poppy tree, there are only a few thousand buds left, all hidden in the sewers.
These flower buds are quite useful, whether they are dormant or studying.
It will take some time to sort them out of the sewer.
But then again, the poppy tree is currently in a "dying" state.
It needs to be restored a little before it can have corresponding functions.
Another unimaginably huge investment.
"Let me give it some of the vitality of the Tree of Life." Lu Yuan's heart trembled. It was difficult to make money, and spending money was like running water.
[If you are reluctant to part with it, I will give it the remaining half of the demon spirit, which will help it recover a lot. Okay, I pretend that I don’t feel so distressed... Who makes some scumbags so stingy? It’s only me.
Pay money.】
Lu Yuan scratched his head, feeling that the price Conch paid was a bit high.
But this method is really good. The spirit of the demon is originally something from the poppy tree.
"I am willing to pay 1,000 units of life energy to help it... By the way, I owe you a favor." (He only has 2,000 units of life energy now.)
【Just one?】
"One hundred! One hundred will do!"
[This is not bad, then I will make a request rudely, so be mentally prepared! 】
【I...want to eat...I'm almost fainting from hunger.】
…
The old cat listened silently.
Suddenly, I saw an evil and ferocious wolf walking slowly from a distance, with its pink tongue hanging out, looking like it had done something bad.
Old Wolf is living a very happy life these days.
With a harem open, you can have enough to eat.
The originally withered fur was shiny and shiny visibly to the naked eye, and the tail was raised high.
Even his expression was one of triumph.
At this moment, Lu Yuan actually showed the same expression.
Maybe this is the legendary "matching of men and women, work is not tiring"?
The orange cat with more than a hundred genders issued the most evil and vicious curse in the depths of the abyss: "May all lovers in the world eventually become brothers and sisters!"
…
Lu Yuan searched in the storage space for a while and lamented that the exquisite ingredients brought from Lize Civilization were almost used.
He could only go to the chicken lady's nest and take out two eggs.
"What do you call it? It's for your master to eat!"
The chicken lady shed tears of pain.
Lu Yuan cooked egg fried rice on the spot. His skills were quite good. Every grain of rice was wrapped in egg liquid and fried until golden brown, shining with an attractive luster.
Then I made a simple tomato and egg soup.
Pour a small amount of oil into the pot, when the oil is hot, add the tomatoes and stir-fry until the tomatoes produce juice.
When pouring in the egg liquid, be sure to use low heat and stir while pouring, so that the egg drop will be more beautiful.
Finally, add a little green onion and salt, and the steaming tomatoes are ready.
This scene full of fireworks has been seen many times during my travels in the past.
Lu Yuan actually likes cooking, which brings him a sense of ritual in life.
However, only Lu Yuan, Oogway and Old Wolf could enjoy the delicious food at first.
Now, Conch herself can enjoy delicious food. She can't help but keep reminding herself in her reserve and eagerness... A lady must eat elegantly.
"It's time to eat!" Lu Yuan couldn't help but serve himself a bowl of soup and asked casually, "What are the functions of Greenland Paradise? You haven't told me yet."
She described the situation in detail.
"You can also do scientific research...it's pretty cool."
The conch sips the soup, its eyes are like crescent moons: "When there is a green paradise, the education problems in the village can be completed in the virtual world."
"There is a lot of knowledge left behind by the green civilization in it."
"Professional teachers provide guidance. Those who don't understand can watch the video repeatedly and take online exams."
"Of course, because the languages ​​are different, I have to add a new language in the background. Do you want them to learn Chinese, or the characters of the Green People?"
Lu Yuan was very happy, finally hearing some good news among countless bad news.
"Be bilingual. It's always good to learn more."
There is a reason why he chose to be bilingual.
Because there are mountains and seas of materials left behind by the Greenland Civilization, it can only be translated into the year of the monkey and the month of the horse by just relying on the translation ability of a few divine skills.
At this time, mass power must be mobilized.
If it weren't for the fact that their ultimate goal was to return to humanity, Lu Yuan even felt that just learning the language of the Green People would actually be a more appropriate choice...
"What about history? Do you need to learn it?" asked the old cat.
Lu Yuan was silent.
History is indeed very important. It involves the roots of a civilization and a sense of belonging. It can also increase our understanding of the development of the world.
There were no history books about the Shali clan in the past, so Lu Yuan couldn't possibly bother to mention "You guys actually joined later".
It all boils down to being a part of humanity, and that's it.
"But the library only has the history of Greenland Civilization." Conch said slowly and authentically, "You have to write the history of mankind by yourself. We can't help with this."
Lu Yuan was stunned and asked him to make it up himself. He couldn't make it up because he didn't have the knowledge reserve.
And how could he have this skill...
Finally, he sighed with determination: "Next time, contact humans and ask them to send complete educational materials. There is no rush anyway, the main thing is to teach physics, chemistry, and mathematics."
"So you don't want to learn anymore? You can't be completely blank, right?" Old Cat questioned.
"The current history, just write it... the city belongs to the Green Princess, just fool it..."
Two vines pulled out from nowhere and pulled Lu Yuan's hair.
Conch is not satisfied with the title "Green Princess".
But I am very satisfied with the taste of the egg fried rice, my cheeks are bulging. The chicken snake's egg has a silky and full texture. Every bite makes people feel its freshness and purity. Chew it gently, and you will see the delicate yolk and smooth texture.
The protein intertwined together creates an indescribable taste.
The craftsmanship that Lu Da Commander has done for so many years is not something he just blew off.
This is... the joy of enjoying food!
The feeling of being alive is indeed good.
Chapter completed!
