Pirates from island owner to king

Compared with Taoyuan Island, that island is really just a place to stay.

The area is at most ten square kilometers, with sparse vegetation, barren land, and not much fresh water resources.

3000 people moved there and it was difficult to survive for a long time.

Not to mention there is no room for development.

But there's nothing dangerous about it.

Zhou Yu's plan is to send people to the island to build residences and corresponding supporting facilities.

If you really can't stay in Taoyuan Island, you can survive for a while by moving there.

At that time, it is not impossible to return to Taoyuan Island to obtain supplies.

After all, the main reason why those ferocious beasts reject them is that their arrival is an intruder to them.

Their nests are mainly in the west of Taoyuan Island, and they should have little interest in the east.

Just wait until the beast leaves and then come back quietly.

"This retreat can be kept." Wang Hai said after listening.

There was no guarantee that he could completely frighten those top beasts with just a few bombs.

Having an escape route is always a good thing.

As the saying goes, if you keep the green hills, you are not afraid of running out of firewood.

Zhou Yu also agreed with this, and Wang Hai left this matter to him.

Wang Hai doesn't have time anymore. Since the golden finger task has come, of course he must try his best to complete it and transform the current defense line.

"Perhaps, not just in one village, land reclamation is now advancing in a herringbone pattern because the defense line cannot be stretched too long in the north and south directions, making it inconvenient for patrols."

"Now that we have decided to fix the defense line, it is better to build multiple villages on the herringbone defense line and connect them with each other..."

"What the island owner said is exactly what I want to say. According to our plan, the future expansion of Taoyuan Island will require more people and more farmland."

"But the cultivated land is too large, so villages must be built among the vast fields to make it easier for everyone to farm."

“It’s really a good way to integrate the village with the defense.”

Since Zhou Yu also thought of it, Wang Hai didn't say much.

The three of them patrolled the defense line for almost an hour.

No more wild beasts were encountered.

"Most of the wild beasts have sensed the danger early, and those who can migrate have left. However, some are vindictive, like those wild wolves, who will return from time to time to take revenge."

"Sometimes, it's because after going west, the pressure to survive was too great and they turned back."

Shigezuki Sasuke introduced the specific situation.

Generally speaking, there are not many wild beasts in this area near the east.

After the inspection, Wang Hai and Zhou Yu left. The transformation of the defense line still required going back to recruit manpower, and it was impossible to mobilize the family soldiers stationed on the defense line.

In addition, since it was decided to build a village based on the defense line, it was inevitable to prepare various supplies.

But before going back, the two came to a field that was already full of wheat.

From a distance, you can see a large house among the green wheat fields.

This is the experimental base for retainer red pepper.

As the retainer responsible for farming affairs, Red Pepper not only guides farming, water conservancy, disease and pest control and other issues.

Spend more time in this base conducting breeding experiments.

"Island owner, you are here at the right time. Come and see the crops I cultivated and planted using Neptune manure. The results are even better than expected."

Although they had only met once, Hongjiao had already regarded Wang Hai as a friend because of the pleasant conversation last time.

Last time, the bond value increased directly to [-], allowing him to obtain a [-] lawful value reward.

Wang Hai checked with his golden finger when they met. Although they hadn't seen each other for almost a month, the bond value had increased by a few points.

If this continues, it won't be too far away from eighty.

"Mr. Red Pepper, I knew you could do it. The Neptunes are indeed incredible super creatures. Even their feces can have such wonderful effects."

Pulled by Red Pepper, Wang Hai came to the base and saw different experimental fields one after another.

Not only food crops grow there, but also vegetables, fruits, medicinal vegetation, etc.

Basically all common and valuable plants can be found here.

He took a look at some experimental fields where red peppers were cultivated using Neptune excrement as fertilizer.

There is also a control group next to it, and the difference is very obvious.

Compared with the control group that did not use Neptune feces, the growth of the plants in the experimental fields was significantly better.

but.

Thinking of the earthworms that had also undergone huge changes due to the use of Neptune feces, Wang Hai was no longer so surprised by the changes in the plants in front of him.

"Haha, if I weren't the island owner, I probably wouldn't have thought that Neptune feces could be used as fertilizer." Hongjiao said modestly.

"Mr. Red Pepper, there is no need to be modest. Only with your skills and knowledge can you fully use Neptune feces for farming and planting. Another person would probably not be able to do it."

After complimenting each other, Wang Hai got down to business and asked how much the final yield of these crops could be increased by using Neptune manure as fertilizer.

After all, it’s only a month. Except for some vegetables with short growth cycles, most of these crops need a long time to grow before they can be harvested.

Although the growth is encouraging now, what will be the final harvest and whether it can be popularized are questions that require a professional from Red Pepper to give accurate answers.

In this regard.

Zhou Yu was also very curious and concerned.

He also didn't expect that Wang Hai chose to raise earthworms in order to raise chickens, and ended up with Neptune feces.

A mere piece of Neptune excrement not only mutated the earthworms, but also made the crops grow amazingly.

In these troubled times, he certainly knows the importance of food.

Otherwise, he would not have recruited Hongjiao specifically for Wang Zheng.

"Island owner, according to my observations, the average growth cycle of ordinary vegetables can be shortened by about one-third if Neptune manure is used as fertilizer."

"In other words, if it originally took a month to grow, it now only takes about 20 days."

"Not only that, it tastes more delicious and is more nutritious. It can be said that this Neptune feces is a huge treasure."

"Using it, we can grow a large number of high-quality vegetables and fruits, so that every household on the island can eat them."

Red Pepper said, unable to help but feel excited and proud.

He likes to study planting, and he also likes to see people eating the crops he cultivated and having full stomachs.

"As for food crops, although further cultivation is needed, based on my experience, I speculate that the growth cycle can be shortened by at least one-fifth."

One fifth is already an astonishing number.

"really?"

Wang Hai couldn't help being surprised after hearing this.

You know, rice and wheat are similar. Depending on the season and the ambient temperature, the growth cycle is as short as three to four months, and as long as seven or eight months.

One-fifth, almost equivalent to each season, can shorten the growth cycle by about one month.

"Yes, this is still my preliminary speculation. If I can further prepare a suitable ratio of Neptune manure fertilizer based on crop varieties, land soil quality, and seasonal changes."

“I’m even confident that we can further shorten the crop growth cycle without affecting food quality and yield.”
