Traveling through 1942 with space
Chapter 45 Seed
The moon was rising high in the sky, and Hou Xiaoge quietly entered the space after everyone fell asleep.
Hou Xiaoge felt very tired after a day of running around, but after seeing the green in the garden, he felt that everything was worth it.
"The hard work is only temporary, get to work!"
It took Hou Xiaoge three or four hours to thresh the wheat and sorghum that were harvested early this morning. Since there were no sacks, they were all piled in the space warehouse.
"Oh my goodness! The yield of this spiritual field is incredible! The yield of less than two mu of land has reached nearly 500 kilograms. So, one acre of land has a yield of 2,500 kilograms. And I am using poor quality seeds dug out from rat holes." Looking at the grain in front of him, countless thoughts emerged in Hou Xiaoge's mind.
Hou Xiaoge knew the grain yields of this time and in the future. For example, the yield of the best irrigated land in this era was only 400 kilograms per mu, and the yield of inferior dry land was only 150 to 200 kilograms. In a bad year, one would be thankful if the seeds could be recovered.
As for later generations, Hou Xiaoge's family lived in the Guanzhong Plain. Although there was sufficient water and fertilizer, the yield of wheat per acre was only 800 to 1,200 kilograms.
In Hou Xiaoge's previous life, his family had an orchard. However, because the fruit varieties could not keep up with the times, they had to dig up all the land and plant wheat. That year, because the soil had nutrients from the original fruit tree fertilizer, it only produced 1,500 kilograms of grain. According to his mother, this was the year with the highest wheat yield in her entire life.
So what does it mean that the wheat yield per acre can reach 2,500 kilograms? This is something that even Nobel would have to give way to.
Hou Xiaoge seemed to have his Ren and Du meridians opened up all of a sudden, and discovered the greatest value of the planting space to him, which is seeds.
Other seed companies only plant two or three times a year at most, but Hou Xiaoge can plant once a week in the planting space, which means he can plant more than fifty times a year. One year is equivalent to decades for others. Hou Xiaoge now has the foundation of a world-class seed company!
However, Hou Xiaoge was just thinking about it. He was not naive enough to compete with a country with his own strength. Even the four major grain traders in later generations were only based on the strategic support of the country. If one really wanted to monopolize with a personal company, he would definitely be eaten up without leaving anything behind.
However, if you dare to think, you can do it. If you don't even dare to think, wouldn't his golden finger be in vain? Anyway, Hou Xiaoge is still young, and there is plenty of time to develop slowly. After 30 or 40 years, his goal of becoming a grain giant will definitely be realized.
After collecting the grain, Hou Xiaoge also collected the wheat straw, which was very useful for feeding livestock and burning for heating. However, there was one more thing that needed to be done after collecting the grain, which was to plant the harvested fields as soon as possible.
Hou Xiaoge was worried about the harvested wheat stubble, as he didn't have a plow and it was difficult to cultivate the land. However, when this idea came up, two pieces of information immediately emerged in his mind, one of which solved Hou Xiaoge's problem.
It turns out that the ring space has been slowly recovering since it recognized its master. Now the space can absorb energy autonomously. Although wheat stubble is a mortal thing and its energy is insignificant, ant meat is also meat and can be absorbed. At the same time, the ring also reminds Hou Xiaoge to collect energy to nourish the ring space as soon as possible, otherwise it will only produce but not absorb, and the space area will continue to shrink in the long run.
Hou Xiaoge was both happy and worried when faced with these two pieces of information. He was happy that he would not have to worry about cleaning the fields in the future, as the space had the ability to absorb the crops, and they would all be absorbed. He was worried that he had tried gold, silver, copper, and iron, but none of them could be absorbed as energy.
Hou Xiaoge also knew the law of conservation of energy. If space had such a miraculous production function that only produced but did not harvest, energy would not be conserved and it would naturally not work in the long run.
"Oh! Let's go down and look for jade, meteorites or other minerals. If all else fails, we'll go to the city tomorrow to see if we can absorb some faith energy from the statues in the City God Temple." Hou Xiaoge really had no other ideas. In the end, he even came up with a fantasy idea. After all, traveling to this world itself was a fantasy.
Putting this matter aside for the time being, Hou Xiaoge came to the Lingtian area and began to experiment on how to make the planting space absorb wheat stubble.
Looking at the spiritual field in front of him, Hou Xiaoge first shouted "absorb", but the spiritual field remained motionless. He tried several times but it didn't work. Finally, he used his mental power to sense the ring in his mind and absorbed it with one thought. Then he saw that all the weeds in the spiritual field, including wheat stubble and sorghum stubble, disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye. In less than a minute, only the dark spiritual field was left in front of Hou Xiaoge.
"Not bad, not bad. This saves a lot of effort. It seems that what the Ring Spirit said is right. With the recovery of the fairy ring, there will be more and more functions and benefits in the future." Hou Xiaoge looked at the Spirit Field Disappearance Technique in front of him in amazement.
Then, after using his mental power to select five kilograms of plump wheat grains from the wheat pile, Hou Xiaoge spent more than an hour planting the wheat. In this way, after six days, he could harvest at least another 500 kilograms of grain.
After working for four or five hours, Hou Xiaoge was hungry and tired. He did not use new wheat, so he took out the three pounds of flour left from Wangjiazhuang a few days ago and made cakes with it. Because he did not have an iron pan, Hou Xiaoge could only find a stone slab to bake. After working for half an hour, three head-sized cakes were baked.
The freshly baked unleavened dough pancake was still quite soft. Hou Xiaoge ate one and a half in one go with the boiled vegetable soup and cucumber, and finally filled her stomach.
After finishing the meal, sleepiness came on time. He put the remaining cakes into the warehouse. Hou Xiaoge, who could no longer bear it, fell into a deep sleep in the space.
“Sleeping in space is so comfortable!”
The temperature in the space was just right, and Hou Xiaoge slept until he woke up naturally. He just felt comfortable all over.
After exercising for a while, Hou Xiaoge looked outside. It was already getting light, around five o'clock.
Hou Xiaoge quickly washed his face, fed the livestock, ate a piece of bread to fill his stomach, and hurried out of the space.
After Hou Xiaoge came out, he did not continue to sleep, but quietly woke up his younger brother Xiao Shuanniu, and used a quilt as a blanket for the little guy to eat the last half of the pancake.
The little guy was in a daze, half awake and half asleep, holding half a pancake and chewing it madly. In less than three minutes, half a pound of pancake was eaten up by the little guy. After eating the pancake and drinking water, the little guy fell asleep again in a daze.
" well!"
Looking at his brother who was sleeping with his lips smacking, Hou Xiaoge was helpless. Only he could enter this space, and at most he could take in some animals, but definitely not people. Otherwise, there would be no place in the world that he couldn't go.
Lying on the bedding and looking at the sky, Hou Xiaoge's mental power probed into the space to harvest vegetables.
It was mid-August, and perhaps with every autumn rain came a chill. The morning dawn was even a little chilly. A gust of wind blew, and Hou Xiaoge, who was shirtless, shivered from the cold.
"It seems we have to hurry, otherwise the journey of hundreds of miles to Qin Province will be unbearable in winter." Feeling the slight chill, Hou Xiaoge developed a sense of urgency for no reason.
