Chapter 169 The problem of food in the Hinterlands
When he woke up again, Yulin Blood Eagle couldn't sleep anymore anyway, so he simply stopped sleeping. Thinking that Alleria would upset him, he tried his best to divert his thoughts elsewhere. Unfortunately, he couldn't do it anyway.
Get rid of Alleria's shadow, no matter what you think about, you will eventually think of Alleria involuntarily.
"Chang'e should regret stealing the elixir, and the blue sea and blue sky are in my heart every night. I'm now Meng Jiangnu, Chang'e." Yulin Blood Eagle said to himself with a bitter smile.
If I had known that Sylvanas was a shady girl, why wouldn't I have been more careful with her? I thought, this time it's better, I picked up a wife who is as beautiful as a flower, but she is a missing wife, I don't know what to think, at the same time
It also brings a lot of trouble.
It seems that everything needs to be sped up! We must go over and take a look at this war, otherwise my wife will be abducted by Turalyon.
He stood up and walked in the woods thinking.
Don't bother with Queldenis anymore, let the King's Council and those rebels play with it! The flat land on the seaside plain must be completed as soon as possible. The wild boar breeding farm must be built. But food! This is a big problem!
The current storage quantity is large, and it will be no problem to eat it for several years. But these grains have to be resold! The war is very fierce now, and grain armor is no longer easy to buy, and the price is as high as a rocket.
After the fall of Stormwind City, a large number of refugees will come to the north. At that time, all countries will prepare for war and arm themselves. At that time, both ordnance and food will increase dozens of times. If we take action at the right time, this war fortune will be made. This
It won't take too long, it will start next year at most.
But if the grain is sold and we don’t produce grain here, we won’t be able to bear it! We must find a way to solve the grain problem. Don’t panic if you have grain in hand. If you want to grow grain, you have to open up wasteland! There is a lot of land and manpower.
But not much. Let the elves farm? I guess they would rather plant fruit trees than farm. Besides, farming requires a lot of fertilizer. Even though there are more than 1,000 wild boars, how many fields do you have to farm to raise so many people?
How much fertilizer is needed?
The bread tree is better. When it grows up, the root system is developed. Even if the yield is not high, you can still get some food. Unfortunately, there are only one tree and it only bears fruit once a year. It is not enough! Reproduction is too slow! Reproduce, expand reproduction.
!What good solutions did you have in your previous life?
Cutting is a good method, but if you just plant a tree like this and it's so far away, go back and cut it? Then forget about the fruits produced this year, and whether the tree people and elves will allow them to cut it is another matter.
.Besides, it is still unknown whether this kind of tree cuttings can survive.
Now I don’t know if the baobab seedlings have grown on Salantes Island? Is there any other way besides cutting? Grafting? Yes! How could I not think of it? Can tung millet be grafted? If so, that would be great. Don’t do it here.
There aren't many, so you should be able to get a lot if you collect tung millet seeds.
When they are planted and grow to a foot high, the more than 10,000 saplings of breadbasket will have many new branches and buds! One bud can be grafted, and the more than 10,000 saplings of breadbasket will be grafted together.
How many new teeth will grow! Besides, after the grafting is completed, many new buds will grow on those grafted branches in one year!
In three years, at most three years, won't I be able to finish planting the land on the seaside plain? Maybe the strange smell in the breadfruit fruit will be eliminated and replaced by the smell of tung oil! Press the oil! That is a good thing,
Now that I have feed and oil, I have oil! I have to ask Sylvanas to get it for me quickly. Dozens of breadfruit seedlings can be used for experiments. There were dozens of seedlings under the tung millet tree last time, and they were grafted on top.
.
He walked back and forth excitedly for a few steps, then suddenly stopped and muttered to himself, "No, I have to go there myself. If those seeds don't sprout, why don't I have to go to the old bread tree to get branches?"
Sylvanas doesn't necessarily know where it is."
He secretly estimated the time in his mind. It was still nearly half a month before Quel'danis was handed over to the council of elves. A round trip to Quel'Thalas was enough time. It would be better to have more time, see if you can
Don't kidnap some tree people, especially small locust trees.
Its healing magic should be plant-based. Maybe it doesn’t need to be tied when it is grafted. Once it is cured, the small locust tree will be healed naturally with just one magic. Even if the tung millet cannot be grafted, with so many plants in Xuntanlan, how can it still be healed?
Can't find a plant to graft on?
We have found a solution to the food problem at present, but if we fully plant breadfruit trees, even if they are grafted, it will take several years to bear fruit! Water from afar cannot quench the thirst of nearby people! This is only a long-term solution. The land still needs to be cleared and some plants planted.
Corn, wheat. Anything will do. These crops grow quickly, especially corn. They can be planted several times a year, which can solve the food problem in recent years.
It seems that we have to find people to farm the land. The people who are most willing to farm are humans. Don't worry about this. There will definitely be many refugees fleeing the Kingdom of Stormwind this year, and we will take over a batch.
If Fourteen can't be found in Booty Bay, let the humans use their manpower to cultivate the land for the steam locomotive goblins! Or if the local trolls from Sutlan come to farm the land, will they be willing? Well, we'll have to do it tomorrow.
Just ask Xie Xi. Now we can only go to him, everyone else is busy.
If the local trolls are willing to farm under the guidance of someone, then it is a good idea. If it is feasible, even the future food in Queldanis will not need to be provided by the dock, and it will probably be exported to the outside world. However, the trolls
Don't be too hasty, you have to take your time, otherwise you might end up being attacked by trolls, which would not be fun.
What was left was the wild boar breeding farm, which was one of the purposes of coming to the Hinterlands. At this moment, he suddenly realized that he had not paid attention to the wild boars that had been transported for a long time. The size of the giant blood-tusked wild boar was different from that of ordinary wild boars.
If they are too big, can they mate naturally?
He thought carefully for a long time and reasoned for a while. He couldn't help but give himself a slap in the mouth and said to himself: "How stupid! I wasted almost a year."
Because he came to the conclusion that natural mating cannot occur. In the western wilderness, there are both giant blood-tusked wild boars and ordinary wild boars, but no hybrid wild boars have appeared. This shows that natural mating cannot be completed due to the huge body size difference. Artificial insemination is necessary.
Only by doing it can it be achieved.
This is different from the fact that there are basically no ligers or tigons in nature, because one kind likes to be alone in the mountains and forests, and the other likes to live in groups in the plains, so the possibility of intersection is very low. But the giant blood-toothed wild boar and the
Ordinary wild boars are in the same area, and the probability of intersection is very high, but they have no common descendants!
There are only two possibilities. One is that they cannot produce offspring by mating with each other. The other is that the size difference is too large to complete natural mating to produce offspring. Judging from the frequent occurrence of various strange hybrid creatures in Azeroth,
The first possibility can basically be ruled out, so only the second possibility remains.
The giant blood-tusked wild boar was too big. Even though they were usually nothing, if they lost their temper, they could kill people. How could it be safe? He thought about it and thought it would be safer to be a fake sow.
But will fake sows and boars mate? What do you say in the animal kingdom? Well, it seems to secrete a special smell to attract males. But it is impossible for humans to smell this smell. How to prepare similar medicines?
Come? There aren’t that many instruments for analysis here. Even if I had one, I wouldn’t know how to use it. What should I do?
"Why are you thinking about those unrealistic instruments? Let's think about the animal world! There should be a solution." He paced and muttered to himself.
Could it be that the source of the smell is only itself? If it is a tiger, how can it spread over such a large area? There are very few tigers on the earth. Even if a male tiger's nose is sharp, it can only be smelled dozens of miles downwind, so how could it be possible?
Found the tigress? There must be more than one scent source.
He thought of the way beasts show their territory, by peeing or defecating. Then there must be that smell in these excrements. He felt that only this explanation was realistic. Because the large beasts on the earth have many activities,
It covers an area of several hundred square kilometers. Only if there is this smell in its territory can it effectively attract the arrival of males of the same species and follow the smell to find the female.
"It must be so!" he said, hitting his right fist on the palm of his left fist.
He made up his mind to go and see the wild boar breeding ground tomorrow. As for preservation, he really had no choice but to rely on the wizards to see if they could help him get a magic refrigerator. Otherwise, he could only achieve reality.
Ready to match.
With specific things and goals in mind, he finally drove Aurelia out of his mind, so he went directly back to the room, found a pen and paper, and started drawing some of the tools he needed.
He is not very familiar with these things, but he has seen others use them before. So according to his own understanding, the performance requirements of the tools will also be written on them. As for what materials can be used to make them, he will not care.
He tried his best to draw as detailed a picture as possible, but his clumsy painting techniques were really not very good. He threw away another drawing until dawn, and it was not until dawn that he was basically satisfied with the drawing. He put away the drawings in a hurry, and after washing them, he painted them in detail.
