Chapter 1897 Grete: We happily make genetically modified crops
Chapter 1904 Gretel: Let’s happily make genetically modified crops!
The Nature Order, generations of nature priests, have been doing work in the direction of increasing agricultural production. ▲????????????Search??????520.??????▲
Some are engaged in breeding improved seeds, some are improving planting methods, some are making compost, some are doing soil and water conservation, some are doing insecticide and weeding...
The high-ranking priests studied hard, and the low-ranking priests traveled to the fields and taught the farmers step by step how to farm.
Of course, their work has made great progress in recent years.
——Thanks to the need to reserve food in the year without summer, the Magic Council invented a method of producing nitrogen fertilizer from air, and nitrogen fertilizer was in sufficient supply;
In addition, the Parliament's ships regularly hauled struvite back from overseas, and the Parliament's factories regularly used the bitter brine left over from salt production to make potash fertilizer.
Nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilizers should be mixed well, and they can be sold at a price that is not too low but allows farmers to make some profits and save more grain.
The job of the natural priests is to cooperate with the magicians to study the usage and dosage of these fertilizers. What crops, what period - seedling stage, growth stage, booting stage, flowering stage, grain filling stage, maturity stage...
What fertilizer should be used at which stage, how much, how to mix artificial fertilizer and farm compost, the depth of fertilization, etc., all kinds of knowledge.
Then, teach these methods to the farmers one by one.
——Relying on these studies and work, relying on these efforts, a large number of natural pastors have obtained natural feedback and gained the joy of the world.
According to statistics from Elder Tapros, since the use of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers began to be promoted, the average advancement speed of nature priests has increased by an average of 10% compared to before the promotion.
This is a tenth increase in speed!
It's so comfortable!
However, such an improvement alone cannot satisfy Elder Tapros, nor can it satisfy the royal family, nobles, and even magicians.
For the Nature Order, if the improvement speed can be faster, just faster, if it can be 50% faster, it is better, if it can be doubled, it is better——
Look at that Nordmark pastor! That speed is simply nature’s beloved child, loved by the world all the time!
If everyone could advance at his speed, the Natural Order would soon have five legends, six legends, and seven legends...
The royal family and nobles are not satisfied either. Production only increased by 10%? Only increased by 20%? What is enough?
It is only enough to eat enough in normal years. If you save a little, you will not starve to death in disaster years. Just eating like this is still full with grain chaff and wild vegetables, but it is full enough to only eat black bread.
I want to be able to fill my stomach without eating bran and wild vegetables, I want to eat an egg every day, I want to eat meat once a month... I'm sorry, don't even think about it.
The produce of the land, if I want to feed enough warriors, if I want to double the number of knights... I'm sorry, I can't do it.
The output of the land means that more farmers can leave the land and work in the city without causing a food crisis... Sorry, that can't be done.
With the output of the land, I want to help the village support one more literate person, I want to double the number of people in the town who can study, I want to double the number of apprentices that the Mage Tower can accept every year... Sorry, I still can't do it.
arrive.
If you want to achieve this, if you want to further develop the country, if you want to increase manpower, especially high-quality manpower, the fundamental way is to increase agricultural output!
The practice of relying on the power of natural priests to grow crops and reserve food in a short period of time in the Year Without Summer cannot be repeated!
Even if the nature priests are willing to contribute, there will no longer be a demigod's divine crystal to provide them with spell-casting energy...
Grete spent a whole day, flipping through page after page, the research reports and research records sent from the Nature Religion.
——The Natural God Church happily compiled the information and handed it over, and at the same time sent a special person over to try to persuade Grete to lead this research.
What a great opportunity!
Having such a leader who has repeatedly produced results means that he can guide and inspire a large number of natural pastors and enable a large number of natural pastors to grow quickly.
——Pastor Nordmark Over the years, how many of the researchers around me have advanced! How many levels have the Light Legend advanced to?
Not to mention, Pastor Nordmark’s research ideas and methods are different from those of them... People who follow him can learn a lot...
Moreover, Pastor Nordmark's research can be funded separately from the royal family! It does not conflict with the funding currently received by the Natural Gods! In other words, there is an additional funding...
The projects are given to you, the manpower is given to you, you ask!!!
Gretel thus received a large amount of information, which was sorted into categories by the Nature Religion Group, wrote an outline, and proactively and diligently sent it to them.
Even with the outline and summary, it took him a full day to read the information. After reading it, he covered the paper and thought:
Regarding the use of chemical fertilizers, the mixed use of chemical fertilizers and farmyard manure, irrigation, etc., he could not do any better;
Without petrochemicals, it would be difficult to reduce the cost of greenhouses and other things to a level that farmers can afford;
The natural priests have also done a good job in raising seedlings indoors in order to shorten the growth period and increase crop yields, so there is no need for him to have a hand.
Then, all he can do is to breed fine seeds - or, to be more precise, breed fine seeds in terms of hybridization and genetic engineering.
Anyway, he has as many microscopes and electron microscopes as he needs, as well as tools for studying chromosomes. Chromosome shearing may be a bit difficult. For this, he may need to practice meteor bursting more to rub more diamonds...
The important thing is that the Natural Cult has its own unique advantages in the selection and breeding of fine varieties. The characteristics and yield of a variety can be quickly spawned using magic, so you can have a rough idea in advance.
There is no need to work hard for a year and a few years like in the Agricultural College in his previous life, and finally the fruits are mature, waiting eagerly for those few fruits to be published, and the fruits are picked and eaten...
Click, one (or even several) master's degree or doctor's degree was unfortunately delayed.
We can't just throw the fruit picker into jail and convict him of theft.
You’ve decided, let’s go in this direction!
It just so happens that he has accumulated a lot of experience in chromosome research before. He will use it here to see what better results he can get...
Grete decided on the research direction, wrote down a whole page of plans, and then worked hard to refine them. After refining them, he was about to give them to the students to calculate the personnel, budget, required materials and equipment, etc., when the tip of the pen suddenly
One stop:
"By the way, there seems to be a way to get immediate results and increase production... Should I first inquire about their progress?"
