"A machine that produces unlimited grain?" The craftsman surnamed Zeng was a little confused and asked hesitantly: "You mean a tool for cultivating the land? Can it increase the output of each acre of land?"
Although the round-edged drills used when digging salt wells can be regarded as the main folk products of Xiajiang Workshop, he never expected that two girls who seemed to have extraordinary backgrounds would actually work with those who sow, transplant, and carry water.
Farmers who face the loess and have their backs to the sky are linked together.
No matter in which dynasty or era, officials, nobles and practitioners are all aloof beings, with an unimaginable distance from ordinary farmers. Many times they only think of the latter as decoration, green leaves to set off their abilities.
Never put yourself in their situation.
Given the opponent's age and cultivation talent, shouldn't he focus on the way of cultivation, want to improve himself, fight with young talents from various counties and counties, trample his peers under his feet, and become known to the world in one fell swoop?
It’s just a matter of studying the art of refining weapons when you have time, so why does it have anything to do with farming? Looking at those flawless white hands and their rather young age, they may not even be able to do real farming.
I've seen it several times, so why did it make such a big breakthrough in this area?
"Why do we need farmland to produce food? Haven't you seen my method of cooking without lighting a fire? Are you still so stuck in the old thinking of the past?"
He could see the suspicion and contempt of the craftsman named Zeng, and sensed his inner thoughts, but Zhao Qing smiled slightly and did not explain the results of his research on agricultural plants.
She just stretched out her hand upwards and lightly stroked her fingers a few times, as if playing in the water by the stream, and it was inexplicably reminiscent of the harmonious scene of grooming docile cattle and sheep.
In the blink of an eye, the surrounding air seemed to have received some mysterious call, and began to surge gently and slowly gather. Suddenly a gust of wind roared from all directions, spinning and converging, forming a huge vortex in the air.
The moonlight fell, casting a layer of silvery brilliance on this magical scene. Zhao Qing's palm seemed to have become a link connecting heaven and earth, extending hundreds of millions of faintly glowing crystal lines, spreading to a radius of several hundred feet.
scope.
These crystal lines sparkle with bright white light in the night sky, flickering constantly, as if forming a huge funnel shape, absorbing all the essence of heaven and earth.
As the wind intensified, a hazy mist began to appear in the entire sky. The mist gradually became thicker, and finally turned into white snow, falling flutteringly. These snowflakes danced in the air, and looked like tassels all over the sky.
It's whirling and dancing, breathtakingly beautiful.
At the same time, the ground also began to change. The originally compacted flat mud suddenly rose in a circular shape, turning into a low basin several feet in diameter.
The surface of this vat basin is as smooth as jade and porcelain, as smooth as a mirror. It collects the fringed snow from the sky and gathers it into a large handful of soft lumps. It is packed inside and piled up into a hill, exuding a faint fragrance.
These things that seem to appear out of thin air and look like snow powder are naturally not the real mist and snow, but the food that Zhao Qing mentioned. To be more precise, she uses the mysterious magic method to use the surrounding water and carbon dioxide.
High-purity starch is synthesized as raw material.
The so-called production of food is actually the steps of photosynthesis of plants, which belongs entirely to the category of chemical reactions. She has studied it a lot. She simulated the catalytic process with various changes in true energy, and then integrated it into one. That is what she created.
The "Water and Gas Combination Technique".
In the previous world, in order to ensure that all people in the world would never suffer from famine, Zhao Qing developed several secret methods related to food, such as the "Lianxia Qi Bu Technique" that allows people to practice photosynthesis, allowing people to use grass and trees.
"Yin-Yang Yeast Mill" where cellulose is decomposed into sugar.
Among them, the "Water and Gas Fusion Technique" was too difficult to perform, so she was basically the only one who could easily perform it. However, considering that with her cultivation at the time, it would take a lot of time to supply a large amount of food, so she was temporarily reduced to
Abolish the case.
It wasn't until Zhao Qing saw the possibility of using runes to simulate this complex spell and fully automatic grain production on the talisman that it was revealed again here.
"Those with advanced cultivation can not eat grains, inhale wind and drink dew, and completely rely on the essence of heaven and earth to maintain their survival needs. Since the essence of heaven and earth can provide the nutrients and energy that people need, then use heaven and earth as plowing fields and vitality as fertilizer.
, isn’t it also a direction of food production?”
Pointing to the tens of thousands of kilograms of starch that had been produced in the vat, Zhao Qing said lightly: "In this way, the rate of grain production is hundreds of times faster than ordinary farming. With my own strength, we can produce more grain."
It can be used by tens of millions of farmers to farm at the same time, enough to supply nearly one-third of the food consumption of the Chu Dynasty."
Hearing this, the craftsman surnamed Zeng couldn't help but widen his eyes, showing a complex expression of disbelief and as if he had seen a new world. He immediately calculated the approximate number based on the grain production rate of the vat next to him, and then he was surprised to find that
, this statement is not even the slightest exaggeration.
If these snow-white powders are really a kind of food, then it is really possible that the other side can be worth tens of millions of farmers working at the same time, or even more than that. However, if the duration and rest are taken into account, the difference is not big.
big.
The number of tens of millions of farmers is the result of excluding the elderly, wives and children. If calculated based on the entire peasant class, it would at least double, and the number would be even more terrifying.
"Five grains are given by the emperor and farmers work hard to sow them, so that they can be harvested in the autumn and fill the bellies of all people to satisfy their hunger... How could there be such a trick?"
Suspecting that this was an illusion, it was probably the powder of frozen snow. The craftsman surnamed Zeng leaned down and was about to reach out to grab a handful of starch to taste it, but suddenly thought that this thing might be poisonous, so he quickly put it in his mouth
Stopped.
At this time, Zhao Qing took out the folding automatic pot again, shook it slightly, sucked the powder from his hand and mixed it with some water, turning it into a starch paste, steamed and cooled it for a few times, and made it.
It turned into a big pot of jelly.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Before the craftsman surnamed Zeng could find an apprentice to try a few mouthfuls, he saw Chu Liuyun who looked strange outside the room and rushed out without even thinking about taking a breath.
I took a big mouthful, which showed that apart from the bland taste, it was indeed real food.
With his knowledge and judgment, if he can control the vitality of a large area of ​​heaven and earth so exquisitely, the opponent must have entered the realm of moving mountains in the seven realms. He has his own arrogance in his heart, and there is no need to take any action or make unnecessary actions against these small characters of his own.
fool.
"It's so amazing...the technique of using Qi to produce food is definitely one of the greatest magical powers in history. It will definitely be remembered in history, and its influence will never be diminished for tens of millions of years."
Chu Liuyun lay on the edge of the giant vat, looking at the snow-white powder inside and couldn't help but be stunned: "Although there are still some difficulties to overcome, if it is really applied to talismans, it may completely change the future of this world... Emperor You
Even if the witch ancestor is reincarnated again, he may not be able to match it."
He couldn't help but think of the powerful practitioners he had seen who used their own true fire to cook salt and make brine. Although these people just started to do it, they could make salt thousands of times faster than ordinary people. Now it seems that
, maybe it is also possible to improve and develop a special talisman for making salt?
However, unlike converting the essence of heaven and earth into food, there should be quite a few people who have thought of using real fire to boil salt. To this day, this method has still not been put into practical application. Obviously, there are some difficulties that need to be overcome... Maybe,
The “magic machine with unlimited grain production” will also face such problems.
In other words, although the opponent is a true master of the Seventh Realm and is extremely proficient in magic, he may not have much attainment in rune magic weapons. If I can intercept her ideas and ideas and hand them over to top workshops such as "Tiangong Pavilion"
Holy hands, maybe there is a chance to research the results one step ahead?
Just when Chu Liuyun was thinking a lot about whether he had violated moral principles and was competing for eternal reputation, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Zhao Qing looking at him lightly. All his delusional thoughts suddenly disappeared, his mind was pure, and he felt like worshiping gods and Buddhas.
of infinite admiration:
"The two of you want to refine the 'magic machine for unlimited grain production' so that all people in the world can be relieved from hard work. It is really a great ambition of the most virtuous and virtuous people! Although I, Chu, am not talented, I am willing to dedicate my life to this end.
Second, give away all the money and weapon refining materials in the workshop for free!"
"Old Chu, are you crazy?" The craftsman surnamed Zeng tightly grabbed Chu Liuyun, who was about to bow to Zhao Qing, and lowered his voice: "What nonsense are you talking about? If we don't have these savings to turn around, we will immediately
It will not even be possible to start construction, and the entire industry will be destroyed quickly!"
"Do you know what fame is greater than wealth? As long as the 'Unlimited Food Machine' takes half of our credit, people all over the world will remember the name of 'Xiajiang Workshop'. By then, just selling those 'fans'
You can earn countless amounts of souvenirs..." Chu Liuyun explained.
"So sure it can really be developed? It still feels unreliable. In addition, it is impossible to promote a single food variety and expand it to the entire dynasty without the necessary vegetables..."
"Do I understand or do you understand? Senior brother's knowledge is not more than yours? If you have developed this magical power, how many hands will you keep? Do you really think that what you see is everything? You are so naive! You don't know how to die on the battlefield.
of."
"Why are you cursing me? What about the friendship between brothers?"
"Friendship means fully trusting the decisions made by senior brother and me."
…
Zhao Qing did not continue to pay attention to the argument between the two craftsmen. He stopped the grain production technique and glanced at Xia Mi, who was also amazed. He was thoughtful and deduced the subsequent impact of this move.
In her plan, the speed of the first-generation food-producing magic machine was naturally impossible to reach a level comparable to her full-power casting. Each machine could produce an average of tens of thousands of grains per day, which was quite good, but its cost was very high.
To what level it can be pressed is yet to be determined.
In this case, the value of the "magic machine for producing grain" mainly lies in its role in military strategy, which can significantly reduce the army's need for logistical food transportation and greatly increase its mobility and long-distance attack distance.
Food has always been of vital importance to the army and practitioners.
The vast majority of practitioners cannot get rid of the need for food. The vitality of heaven and earth they take into their bodies cannot completely replace all the substances provided in food. In particular, the movement of the five internal organs of the human body has its own rules since birth, just like the rules of the movement of the sun, moon and stars.
Generally it cannot be confused.
If the five internal organs are out of balance and the five qi are not regulated, big problems will arise in the qi and blood in the practitioner's body.
In a sense, during the process of practice, the more vitality the five internal organs become, the higher the demand for food.
Practitioners can go without food for many days, but they can often eat the food of several or even dozens of people in one meal.
Ordinary sergeants, as well as some low-level practitioners, and a normal army have basic food and grass. If they don't have a full meal, their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
To be continued...
