Cannon Fodder Is King

Arc 4.18

A few days later, the crops on the first 800 acres of land gradually matured.

The yield of vegetables is really high. Taking white radish as an example, the production capacity per mu can reach 6000 kg (generally, the normal yield per mu is about 2500 kg-5000 kg, and the managed yield can reach more than 5500 kg or even higher).

The average yield of eggplant is 5000 kg per mu, the yield of cabbage is 4500 kg per mu, the yield of **** is 2000 kg per mu, the yield of lettuce is 3000 kg per mu, and the yield of pepper is 1000 kg per mu...

These vegetables can be planted in one week to half a month.

How could such a large output just rely on the more than 300 mouths in the team to eat it.

Fortunately, most of the vegetables planted can be made into kimchi, and the logistics center is close to the sea. If you send two water-powered players there, you can produce more than ten tons of salt in one day, plus an earth-powered player. ...In less than a month, the warehouse was filled with hundreds of glass kimchi jars that were half a person tall.

Meng Zezhi decisively reduced the planting area of ​​vegetables from the original 50 acres to 10 acres.

As for other crops, 50 mu of rapeseed, with an average yield of 260 kilograms per mu. Huang Wu brought back a lot of machines from the grain processing factory in the county, and squeezed out a total of 2,600 kilograms of rapeseed oil.

There is also its by-product. The three beehives produced a total of 50 kilograms of **** nectar, most of which entered Xiao Bai's belly. Meng Zezhi took a lot of effort to dig out half a catty of royal jelly from his mouth.

One hundred acres of sweet potatoes, an average yield of 2600 kilograms per mu; one hundred acres of potatoes, an average yield of 4,000 kilograms per mu, and 160 acres of wheat, an average yield of 400 kilograms per mu. There are 20 mu of soybeans, with an average yield of 600 kilograms per mu.

When it comes to corn and rice, even though Meng Zezhi has spent great efforts to select seeds, the yield is still disappointing.

The average yield of 100 mu of corn is no more than 250 kg per mu; the yield of rice is even lower. The total harvest of 200 mu of paddy fields is less than 40,000 kg of rice, and the average yield is 200 kg per mu. There are 33,000 kilograms left.

Because the female parents of these two crops are hybrids.

Taking hybrid rice as an example, haploid pollination is used, and the resulting hybrid rice is also diploid. Its offspring have a quarter probability of being sterile, and a quarter probability that there is no hybrid vigor. Yes, only one-half of them have hybrid vigor, which will be continuously diluted as they continue to multiply.

Therefore, when farmers are planting, they need to buy new seeds from seed companies every year.

Meng Zezhi wanted to learn seed production by himself, but it was a pity that he had no instruments in his hands, and no assistants, so he had to give up in the end.

But he considered reducing the planting area of ​​corn and rice and increasing the planting area of ​​sweet potatoes and potatoes in order to increase the total crop yield.

Most of these food crops can be planted in one month to forty-five days.

Qin Yaochen was busy counting the output over there, while Meng Zezhi was also summing up the effects of blessings on crops.

Facts have proved that the more blessings are used on the same piece of land, the faster the growth of crops.

But for the same piece of land, the number of times the blessing is used is also limited. For example, vegetables and sweet potatoes and other large-yield crops, if you use blessing twice a day for the first three days, the original yellow land will become fertile black land, and then every day. You must cast a blessing spell once to maintain the fertility of the land.
