Chapter 359: New agriculture

Why can these salt ponds be heated without fire?

This question is entrenched in the minds of all visitors.

The same is true for Chi—she wants to know the answer, but her self-esteem

prevents her from speaking. There is no doubt that this should be the core

secret of Jinxia City, and her inquiry is destined to provoke perfunctory and

rejection. As the master of Penglai Island, she can't make everyone faceless.

But what was unexpected was that Xia Fan took the initiative to speak to her,

"Are you curious, why can't you see a little firewood here, and you can boil

water and salt?"

Chi nodded subconsciously.

The moment her head shook, she regretted it.

How could the other party tell her Yancheng's hole cards?

This action is tantamount to admitting that she knows nothing about this, and

it will be difficult to take the initiative in front of this person.

"Because of the earthquake technique." Xia Fan did not show any irony, but

explained seriously, "Electricity is a very versatile secondary energy source,

which can be easily converted into heat. I don't know if you have thought

about it, why When the lightning strikes down, will there be a loud noise?"

Level 2...what? Chi blinked, then unconsciously followed, "...I didn't think

about it."

"That's because lightning heats the air, causing the latter to expand rapidly.

It can heat the air, and it can naturally be used to heat other things." Xia

Fan took out a copper wire pendant and peeled off the thin copper wire on it.

Come down, "Look."

As his voice fell, the thin copper wire slowly floated under the eyes of

everyone.

Then a few small blue lights jumped out of his palm and penetrated into the

copper wire.

After a while, the copper wire showed a hot bright red, as if it was already

extremely hot.

Kong Xuanzi and the others exclaimed.

Without the use of medicine to drive the vibrating technique, the effect is

still so obvious, has the Privy Council's alchemy progressed to this point?

Chi didn't care about this, her eyes lit up, "You mean, these pools have

copper wires embedded in the bottom, and then use streamer to heat the copper

wires, and then let the water boil?"

"It's roughly correct, but copper wires should not be in direct contact with

salt water, and heat transfer cannot be done by the pool itself. There are

still many details worth studying." Xia Fan praised, "But you can quickly

think of this. It’s already faster than many people’s reactions."

Chi just showed a smile, and quickly blocked the corners of his mouth, "You

tell me this, so you are not afraid of being secretly transmitted by me? For

Yancheng, this should be a great secret, right?"

"I can't talk about secrets, these contents are all within the scope of the

classroom."

"School... is it a private school?"

Xia Fan replied intimately, "You can understand it this way, but Jinxia

Academy recruits children of the right age in the city. Anyone who wishes can

apply for it."

Chi was stunned.

The principle of this method of boiling salt can be learned by the whole city?

"Isn't it easy to leak out!" She couldn't understand for a while, what good

would it do for Jinxia City? There are quite a few cities on the mainland by

the sea. If they master this technology, the Privy Council's strength will

inevitably increase.

A strange feeling rose in Xia Fan's heart.

It seems that the Chi girl in front of me is not just a Penglai passer-by, but

one of the investors of Jinxiacheng, who is monitoring and reviewing his

policies. "Don't worry, the transformation of theory into actual production is

not something that can be solved in one or two sentences, but this knowledge

can arouse students' interest in exploring the true knowledge. I don't think

it is a loss-making business. You are not the beneficiary. One?"

"Uh..." Chi was speechless.

"Let's go, it's time to visit the farmland next." Xia Fan said.

...

The farmland of Jinxia City is only half a mile apart from the saltworks. It

was originally a barrier to prevent alkalization of the land. If the east city

wall and the saltworks are regarded as two parallel lines, the farmland is the

"green belt" separated in the center.

Because the root nodule grass provided by the wizard has unexpectedly good

soil consolidation and fertilization effects, the experimental field project

has now entered the formal production stage. The newly reclaimed land extends

along the coastline all the way to the south, and the planned area almost

reaches the mountains east of Gaoshan County. under.

According to common sense in the past, these extremely sandy land has no value

for farming. No one would choose to set up farmland by the sea. However,

people in Penglai were surprised to find that the snow-covered land was

actually overgrown. Clusters of green seedlings.

In other words, Jinxia farmers not only planted winter wheat in the sand, but

the wheat is growing quite vigorously.

But what really stunned them was not the sight of the farmland.

Compared with the fields that have been cultivated, the new areas that are

being cultivated make everyone in Penglai seem to have come to a completely

different era——

I saw more than a dozen giant beasts slowly advancing in the gravel ground,

behind them were dragging bright metal rake, the width alone was as much as

six feet! The land that has not been turned over for thousands of years is as

soft as batter in front of metal coulters, and a large amount of squeezed out

of the sand formed a series of "low walls" at the feet of the giant beasts.

Anyone who sees the special plow can intuitively feel its weight and rigidity-

the exaggerated overall size and the size of the coulter are by no means

designed for cattle or manpower. Even if five or six adults go up and lift it,

they may not be able to lift it out of the sand.

Only those bipedal beasts can pull them.

Every time it takes a step, its wide feet will sink into the mud and sand for

a few inches. Even so, its body is still as solid as a rock, and there is no

powerless appearance.

"Is that... an organ creation?" Kong Xuanzi murmured. Penglai Island has also

recorded the ingenuity of organ art, but the real objects are basically hidden

weapons and crossbows, and the largest is a dummy puppet. Compared with the

behemoth in front of me, those things are as slender and fragile as embroidery

needles.

Chi noticed the manipulator on the mechanism beast.

Some of them are obviously not human.

Flax or maroon hair, long pointed ears, and mostly light gray eyes... She

realized that they were not only monsters, but also overseas monsters.

It's no wonder that the residents in the city will accept her so

much~www.mtlnovel.com~ It turns out that the cooperation between monsters and

people has progressed to a fairly deep level in Jinxia City.

"Master Xia, good afternoon." A plump blue-haired woman noticed the appearance

of a group of people, and walked here with graceful steps-she is the elder of

the tree boat, the high priest of Sania. "Are you here to review the training

results of the new batch of fighters?"

"Good afternoon, Ms. Sania." Xia Fan replied with a smile, "I just show people

around. Anyway, it's pretty good to exercise the balance of the manipulator in

this way."

"It's true." The high priest covered his mouth and smiled. "At least they can

find a stable job after they leave the army. But I think that opening up

wasteland is your first goal."

It was Xia Fan's idea to replace the cattle with the Xuanwu organ beast. To

talk about modern agriculture, it is nothing more than chemical fertilizer,

water conservancy construction and mechanized farming. Needless to say the

first two, Rhizobium and Phoebe are the first tree spirit plants ordered from

the elves. One can make the land fertile and full, and the other can

automatically absorb rain and dew and deploy water supply. The effect is no

worse than nitrogen fertilizer or tap water irrigation systems. How much.

And the last important task of mechanization naturally fell on the organ

beast.
