Chapter 83: It's finally time to start farming

The summer of 2016 on Earth is actually in the summer of Gaia World. Spring returns to the earth and warms the world. Although the scenery on the wasteland does not change as quickly as described in this idiom, the mood changes brought to the orcs by the warmth of this summer are very obvious.

The glaciers have thawed and the snow has begun to melt. The summer on the wasteland is a season of reproduction. The first major thing facing the orcs is to start busy preparing to produce for the livestock that are to be born in the tribe. Thanks to Zhang Quan, the Base Mountain Tribe saved a large number of livestock last winter. This summer must be coming, and there will definitely be many small lives in the tribe.

This is really a message that makes everyone in the tribe laugh.

But as the patriarch of the base mountain, we must look at the long-term. In addition to expanding the herd according to the traditional breeding of orcs, Zhang Quan also has a huge plan to do it at this time.

...

The pearl of Walter on the West Coast, the leopards' camps were being pushed down by new owners, preparing to rebuild a decent stone castle here. This will be a brand new city.

Zhang Quan led a group of subordinates through the busy crowd in the camp. In the crowd, the tauren craftsmen were shouting loudly to guide their orcs to build a city, walked out of the city, stood on the fertile wilderness outside Walter Camp, pointing at the green eyes on the surrounding land.

"Our base mountain tribe is going to start our own farming path for our orcs!"

But this sentence did not arouse the joy of his subordinates, but immediately made the subordinates who had just taken this land from the leopards and felt frightened.

"Farming? Patriarch! Do you want to learn how human farming is like leopards?"

Everyone has heard of the tragic path of agricultural reform for the people of the Little Claws, and they are obviously scared of the word farming.

"Bastard!" Zhang Quan's ambition was interrupted by his subordinates. He was very unhappy and turned his head to scold his opponent.

"How could I be as stupid as that guy Odilus! You said, under my guidance, are you as stupid as the leopards, and can't even learn how to farm?"

"This..." Everyone dared not retort. Of course, no one would think they were stupid, even if they were an orc. But if everyone could pat their breasts and confidently farming, they would definitely be as good as humans, but no one dared to say that. After all, there were examples of tragic leopards in front of them. Everyone was afraid that their tribe would have had a lot of problems in farming for several years, and it would be really hard to end.

"What, I'm scared!" Zhang Quan smiled at his subordinates.

"It's not that I'm afraid, I just feel that farming is not suitable for our orcs' tradition after all." The orc replied silly, scratching the back of his head.

"Haha!" Zhang Quan pointed at his subordinates and laughed, "You guys, you are so happy. Think about it, since I came to the wasteland, I have led you all the way and done every big thing, and what is safe and peaceful, and what is not broken tradition, mining, building cities, training troops, and major things, and what is not our success!"

When everyone thought about it, it was really true that they followed Zhang Quan to do things according to the orcs' tradition, but almost everything was successful at all, and they unknowingly changed the appearance of the orcs.

"Farming is not as difficult as you think. The reason why you find it difficult is because no one will teach you well. Think about it, in the same way, why do humans plant elves plant, why do orcs not plant? Is it really because orcs are born stupid?

If the orcs are naturally stupid, why are the Fox foxes more cunning than humans, and the Taurus craftsmen on the wastelands better to build weapons than humans?”

"Think about it, how many years have humans learned from the elves in order to learn agriculture? How many years have they spent developing their own agriculture on their own land? The wasteland is cold and barren, and almost any plant except weeds is difficult to grow here, but this does not mean that after fertile land conditions, we orcs will not learn how to farm!"

"We orcs are not stupid, but humans and elves have been slandering us. We want to prove to them that the reason why there was no agriculture in the wasteland before was because of geographical conditions. With the appropriate geographical conditions, we can still farm and plant the best food in the world!"

Believe me, as long as you listen to me, I will definitely let you eat the food we grow ourselves next year!"

The orcs were half-believing and half-doubted, and looked at each other, but finally no one spoke out again.

...

After giving a speech and convincing his subordinates, Zhang Quan really led his subordinates to start the farming path around Walter.

Farming is also a scientific matter, and success on any scientific path cannot be smooth sailing.

In the first season, Zhang Quan decided that the planting scale was not large. Although he was not a scientist, his experimental thinking was still a little higher in unfamiliar environments. He chose a piece of land in a radius of about 50,000 acres of land on the plains on the bank of the Walter River. At this time, the river flowing through Walter was also ordered by Zhang Quan as the Hope River. Although the conditions here are very suitable for growing rice, because rice cultivation is too complicated and has very high requirements for farmers, Zhang Quan finally gave up.

He chose several major modern grain varieties on the earth, wheat, corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes, and almost every one was made, and each one was divided into several different seeds. These seeds are the most resistant varieties that have been verified by the earth's world. They are all naturally grown, rather than the high-yield seeds that are full of farms in the modern world. To be honest, it took him and his subordinates a lot of effort to get these seeds from the modern world.

In addition, there are some wheat seeds from humans in this world, and they have prepared some. Speaking of this, Zhang Quan also checked these wheat seeds bought from humans to see if humans were fooling people with unusable wheat seeds. As a result, it turned out that they were really wheat. However, it was not something like wheat in the modern world, but some kind of distant relatives who were similar to wheat and more similar to barley in ancient times. The yield can be imagined that it would not be very high.

Then, there were also a large number of human farm tools, picks, hoes, and so on. In order to popularize agriculture locally, Zhang Quan could not directly carry out mechanized planting, considering the conditions of the orcs. Although it was not impossible for him to do this himself, he finally chose the most primitive human planting.

First weeding, this is very convenient in the modern world. We directly spray herbicides on a large scale. However, for fear that killer things like herbicides will cause pollution in the world, Zhang Quan chose to carry forward the spirit of Yugong moving mountains and bring the orcs to artificial weeding with them in a straightforward way. The reason for artificial weeding is not because we cannot drive modern tractors to do it. The key is because of these most basic tasks, and he needs to teach these orcs step by step.

Hoe the ground and plough deeply. Zhang Quan worked for a while and rested for a while, and then directed his orcs to follow what to do. Although he had just moved these things in the computer video, he had never done farming before. But it did not prevent him from taking the things in the book and reading the books.

In short, everything he did was copy a large number of agricultural teaching textbooks and teaching videos obtained by another world, and struggled hard on this experimental field in his home. Anyway, he didn't want to plant any high yields in the first year, as long as it could be planted. The experience-based technology of agriculture itself requires a lot of practice to achieve successful experience.

The ancestors on Earth have been circulated with countless years of successful experience. After obtaining this different world, similar geographical environment, similar technologies, and the seeds of the same plants, he doesn't believe that he can't seed. He, the earthling, has his delicate body, quickly adapted to the natural environment of this strange world? There is no reason why plants are less adaptable to the natural environment than him, a mammal.

Science itself can only be obtained from a large number of practical activities? In his opinion, isn’t the scientific spirit just a group of paranoid and stubborn and stubborn spirits? Moreover, in order to prevent accidents, he also adopted local indigenous wheat species.
