Chapter 104 Potato harvest! Three hundred

"System prompt: The visitor from the gentle tribe - Brown Pool Tribe has returned safely. The other party rated the visit as 100 and left certain technologies/items as a thank you gift. At the same time, this visit will increase the number of gentle

Tribe-Brown Pool Tribe’s faction friendship level is 32, and the current faction friendship level is +81.”

"Allies: The relationship between the colony and the Brown Pool tribe has become very close, and they will now regard you as an ally."

"Allies will sometimes come to help you when you are attacked and fight your enemies. You can also call them through communication station technology to send visitors, caravans, and soldiers, but your favorability will be reduced."

"System prompt: You became allies with them because the friendship level (+80) rose above +75. If the friendship level drops below 0, the relationship will return to neutral."

When I came back to my senses and saw these accumulated system reminders, I once again confirmed that the jay had returned to her planet.

The icon of the colonist system is located in the corner of the field of view. If I don't concentrate on opening it, I can't see the prompt information inside at all. As a result, I missed these prompts while I was hungover.

But fortunately, judging from the description of the colonist system, the Brown Pool tribe and I have become allies. As long as we master this thing called a communication station, we can get in touch with the tribe again.

If the calling visitor function goes smoothly, can I contact Jay again and ask her to come back to Ore Town as a guest?

I searched carefully for the functions of the colonist system, but I didn't see any description of this communication station.

It seems that it is still a follow-up function that needs to be gradually unlocked, just like the guest system, right?

But there is no rush for now.

Now that the jay has returned safely, we must first consider putting the things I gave her to use.

Among these seeds, the fastest growing ones are potato seeds, which can grow quickly even in such a barren environment. Even if the climate is suitable for other seeds, their growth cycle will only take three or four months.

Therefore, even if I need to call again, I will have to wait for these seeds to grow in three or four months before I know whether my support this time is effective. If I contact them too early, it is easy to disrupt their pace and cause accidents.

I have no doubt that I can unlock the communication station within three months. After all, I have only unlocked a lot of things on my eighth day at the ranch. In ten times the time, can't I unlock a communication station?

Communications station coming?

Humph, I hope I give the jays a surprise and they can find out early. I really look forward to her surprised expression...

Speaking of potatoes and the eighth day…

Today seems to be the sixth day since I planted potatoes?

Are my potatoes ripe yet?!

…………

In the corner of the pasture, a long and lush plant has been growing quietly for several days without me noticing.

Since it was domesticated by humans more than 5,000 years ago, potatoes have gradually swept the world. From being a bitter and poisonous wild plant, potatoes have become one of the foods that humans cannot easily give up, relying on their reliable yields and amazing resistance to diseases and pests.

Super Potato, which has been upgraded by the colonist system, has undergone earth-shaking transformations!

The ultra-short cycle was shortened from eighty days to six days, causing the plant to turn and grow every day.

Now it seems that the main green plant of the potato has grown to its limit and has grown into a plant with an odd number of unequal pinnate leaves. The leaflets are often alternate in size and 10-20 cm long; the petiole is about 2.5-5 cm long.

; Leaflets, 6-8 pairs, oval, with pointed apex, slightly unequal base, entire margin, both sides covered with white sparse pubescence, 6-7 lateral veins on each side, slightly curved apex, petiole about 1

-8 mm.

If you carefully observe the potato leaves, you will find that both sides are covered with white soft hairs. If you touch these soft hairs with your hands, they will feel sticky. These dense fine hairs are often used by potatoes to catch small insects that eat the leaves.

When the insects are trapped on the leaves, bacteria in the leaves can absorb nutrients through their feces; when the small insects finally fall into the soil and are broken down by microorganisms, it is the potato's roots' turn to replenish nutrients.

Relying on these nutrients, the small white flowers of the potatoes have bloomed and withered. I pulled the plant hard, and a long string of potatoes was uprooted along the roots.

"Hey! What a harvest!"

I calculated it. If the yield of this plant is this much, wouldn’t my land of about 25 square meters be ushered in a bumper harvest?

After a lot of work, I finally finished harvesting all these potatoes! Since there is no load-bearing equipment, I roughly calculated the data and found that one plant averages five to six pounds. Intuitively, I am sure that it is an absolutely high yield.

Moreover, the potatoes dug out are indeed big and well-shaped. There are 4-10 potatoes per plant, each weighing more than one kilogram. A single plant is at least four or five kilograms, and the most is 3 taels of 10 kilograms. The average single plant should weigh five or six kilograms.

.

In other words, just such a small piece of land produced about 450 kilograms of potatoes that covered the entire ground. Judging from this data, the approximate yield per mu is...

12,000 pounds!

"It's so amazing! It's completely beyond my imagination!"

I shook my head to wake myself up, then picked up the potato and examined it carefully in my hand. But what I saw in my eyes was not the shape of the potato, but a detailed introduction to its properties:

"Item name: Potato."

"Plant introduction: A simple and nutritious stem plant. It can grow well even in relatively poor land and can be harvested in a short time. It is a powerful all-purpose crop created for the colony. As a raw potato, raw potatoes

The food tastes very bad.”

"Basic attributes:

Light requirement: 51%

Lifespan: 64 days

Minimum growth temperature: 0.0 degrees Celsius

Maximum growth temperature: 58.0 degrees Celsius

Harvest time: 6 days

Fertility sensitivity: 100%

Fertility requirement: 70%

Nutrition: 0.20"

Sure enough! Crops produced by the system are system items and have attribute interfaces. Non-system items, no matter how similar their appearance, materials, and uses are, will not have this attribute information.

Zach! Come out and see God!

…………

Zach, who was originally supposed to harvest in the evening, was dragged over from the harbor by me.

In fact, he who came to the ranch every day to check on me didn't believe what I said at all.

He returns from the pasture empty-handed every day. He has long been accustomed to me using the pasture as wasteland, and has never thought that I have actually planted any crops.

If anything, I just got the seeds yesterday. How could they bloom and bear fruit overnight?

"Marcus, don't lie to me with any more random things. I really have no money or anything..."

Until he entered the ranch, he thought I was lying to him and that I wanted to rob him of something to get him here.

But when he saw a hill of potatoes piled up in the open space, he was stunned!

"Look, do you think this is a potato? Did I lie to you?"

I saw Zach standing there stunned and introduced proudly.

But Zach still didn't respond. His hands were trembling dumbly and he didn't dare to get close. It took him a long time to say something.

"...Marcus, are you trying to trick me by painting a rock with paint?"
