Li Feng leisurely walked out of the shipbuilding base and headed for the next target.
At this time, Cui Shi, who was deeply involved in the whirlpool of hybrid breeding, did not know that Li Feng, the idle lord with nothing to do, was preparing to inspect his research results.
After being prompted by Li Feng, Cui Shi began to collect a large amount of materials as soon as he came back.
The main food crops grown in the territory now are rice and wheat, which are affected by floods and droughts.
Among them, the wheat planting area is wider, because the cultivated land area in Fenglin Village is much larger than the paddy field area, which is determined by objective factors.
It's just that Li Feng deliberately decided to open up more paddy fields and plant rice because he is from the south and is more accustomed to rice as a staple food.
The resulting impact was to greatly increase the tasks of Cui Shi and agricultural craftsmen.
While Cui Shi was collecting materials to study hybrid breeding, he also led a group of agricultural craftsmen to conduct field inspections around the territory to find plots of land suitable for transformation into farmland.
If you want to transform cultivated land into paddy fields, two conditions must be met. The soil must be moist enough, and the materials it contains must be sufficient for the growth of rice.
These two points are easy to say, but in fact it is quite difficult to satisfy them at the same time.
Of course, it is not impossible to directly forcibly transform paddy fields, but such a crude approach will easily damage the geology and waste a lot of resources in transformation.
Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, it is better to honestly look for available farmland.
After these days, Cui Shi and others also found a lot of land, most of which were concentrated in Tianquanzhai and near the wild forest.
This is not surprising. Tianquanzhai itself is a surplus of paddy fields. After integrating into the Wandao World, it is relatively close to the sea. However, it is less affected by sea water and has not turned into saline-alkali land. It is still mainly fresh water. , definitely the best place for paddy fields.
And around wild forests, with the water storage capacity of the forest, as long as the nutritional conditions are met and a little manipulation is done, it can be converted into qualified paddy fields.
After finding a place, Cui Shi asked the agricultural craftsmen headed by Tian Hua to design water pumping and irrigation facilities. In fact, the main purpose was to build canals, fill the dug paddy fields with water, and then fill them with water after they gradually seeped dry. After a few times, it becomes a freshly baked paddy field.
After completing these, the basic planting is definitely enough, but another problem gradually arises.
That's the problem with planting.
There are many people in Fenglin Village, but due to the "superior" geographical location, there are also many plots of land suitable for planting. This creates a problem of too much happiness, which requires a lot of manpower and material resources to cultivate.
Although there is no shortage of people in Fenglin Village for the time being, this does not mean that there will be no shortage of people in the future. It is impossible to invest too much manpower and material resources in developing and planting.
So after Cui Shi, Tian Hua and others had a fierce ideological collision, they suddenly came up with an extremely advanced idea, that is, can cultivated land be sown together with some kind of machine?
When it comes time to harvest, a machine can also be designed to be responsible for harvesting.
The idea is wonderful, but the reality is cruel.
Tian Hua and a group of agricultural craftsmen scratched their heads and still hadn't come up with a specific design plan. It was like there was an illusory apple (idea) hanging above their heads, but the result was that they couldn't catch it (the design couldn't come out).
This is extremely uncomfortable.
As soon as the idea came up, Cui Shi threw this hot potato to Tian Hua and others to solve it themselves.
He hasn't finished his own work yet, so he doesn't have time to help them study machinery.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to find suitable land to transform paddy fields, Cui Shi collected a large amount of materials in the process and began to continuously conduct cross-breeding.
However, since the process was all based on guesswork and the results were all based on deception, the first batch of experiments was almost completely destroyed.
Cui Shi was not disappointed. Just like when he first came into contact with agriculture, the initial stage was always accompanied by countless failures.
But as long as he succeeds once, Cui Shi believes that with his own ability, he will be able to produce high-yielding and excellent grain plants.
When Li Feng arrived, he had already inspected and gained experience, and immediately told others not to alarm Cui Shi.
Otherwise, like the shipbuilding base, Liu Zong would be here before he could get enough of it.
In order to prevent them from being too nervous and worried, Li Feng could only explain the matter quickly, encourage them again and leave in a hurry.
Now that we have arrived at the planting base here, of course we cannot continue like this, otherwise what is the fun of secretly inspecting?
Everyone was sweating after receiving Li Feng's instructions. They thought that there should be no mistakes in the recent planting base, and then quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Then Li Feng had someone take him to Cui Shi's hybrid breeding experimental site. It can only be said that the scene was extremely tragic.
A large number of plant remains lay lying in the ground, not a single one of them survived.
Li Feng observed carefully for a while and couldn't help but shake his head.
"This is going in the wrong direction. I remember saying something similar to him when I said it, right? As a result, his focus was entirely on high yield, high quality and food."
"Crossing various high-yielding wild food crops with cultivated crops, unless you are lucky enough to be the same type of food, otherwise you will not get results even if you cross them for a hundred years."
In terms of hybrid breeding, if Li Feng is only at the junior high school level, then Cui Shi is a complete layman. Although he has talent, he must accumulate a lot of failures without guidance in order to find out experience and rules.
But Li Feng obviously didn't have the patience to wait for Cui Shi to figure it out slowly.
For this kind of talented players, with a little guidance, they will quickly move forward on the right path.
Li Feng had no interest in being a teacher, but the food security of the territory required an outstanding agriculturist, so he planned to take advantage of this inspection to provide guidance to the future food masters of the territory.
Li Feng said to the person who brought him here: "Let's go, take me to find Zizhen."
The person who led the way wiped the sweat from his head and felt anxious.
"It seems that the lord is not in a good mood. Shouldn't he be going to Master Cui to question him? Then will I be resented by Master Cui for bringing the lord over and bringing disaster to Chi Yu?"
"Yes, it shouldn't be right? Master Cui seems to be a very generous person. Besides, maybe the lord is not going to ask for guilt."
The guide led Li Feng to Cui Shi's place nervously.
I saw Cui Shi grabbing handfuls of materials in his material room, looking at them so hard that I didn't know if he could see anything.
Li Feng twitched the corner of his mouth, walked up and patted his shoulder: "Zizhen!"
"ah!"
Cui Shi trembled all over and almost jumped up in fright.
When he turned around and saw that it was Li Feng, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a wry smile: "My lord, you are so scary."
Li Feng smiled faintly: "Then I will have to pay more attention in the future, otherwise I will really scare the humerus talents in several territories to death, and I will regret it to death."
Hearing the implication of Li Feng's words, Cui Shi pursed his lips and smiled: "Master, come to my place, do you have anything to explain?"
Li Feng said sternly: "It's not a big deal, I just want to popularize science with you. As for the results of the popular science, I'm not sure, so you can just chat with me."
