Heavenly Dao Formula Chapter 350: New Agriculture
Why can these salt ponds be heated without fire?
This question occupies the minds of all visitors.
The same is true for Chi—she really 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.
Unexpectedly, Xia Fan took the initiative to talk to her, "Are you curious, why can't you see a little firewood here, and you can boil water and salt?"
Nodded subconsciously.
The moment her head shook, she regretted it.
How could the opponent tell her Yancheng's hole cards?
This action is tantamount to acknowledging her ignorance in this area, and it will be difficult to take the initiative in front of this person.
"Because of the shaking technique." Xia Fan did not show the slightest irony, but seriously explained, "Electricity is a very versatile secondary energy source, which can be easily converted into heat. I don't know if you have any thoughts. However, why is there a loud noise when the lightning strikes down?"
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 rapidly expand and make a popping sound. It can heat the air, and naturally it can also be used to heat other things." Xia Fan took out a copper wire pendant, The copper wire peeled off, "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.
In a short while, the copper wire became a hot bright red, as if it were already extremely hot.
Kong Xuanzi and the others exclaimed.
Without the use of medicine to induce feces to drive the shaking technique, the effect is still so obvious, has the Privy Council's alchemy progressed to this point?
Chi did not care about this, her eyes lit up, "You mean, these pools have copper wires embedded at the bottom, and then use streamer to heat the copper wires, and then let the water boil?"
"Roughly true, but copper wire should not be in direct contact with salt water, and the 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 it This is 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 spread by me? For Yancheng, this should be a great secret, right?"
"I can't talk about secrets, these contents are all within the teaching scope of the school."
"School...is it a private school?"
Xia Fan replied intimately, "You can understand it this way, but Jinxia Academy recruits children of school 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 all the people in the 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 be further enhanced.
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 true knowledge. I don't think it is a loss-making business. You are not the beneficiary. One of them?"
"Uh..." Chi was speechless.
"Let's go, now it's time to visit the farmland." 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" 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 Gaoshan County. Under the mountains to the east.
According to the common sense in the past, these extremely sandy land has no farming value at all. No one would choose to set up farmland by the sea, but people in Penglai were surprised to find that under these snow-covered land, There were clusters of green sprouts.
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 reclaimed make everyone in Penglai feel like they 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 the metal coulter, and a large amount of squeezed out of the sand forms a series of "low walls" at the feet of the giant beasts.
Anyone who sees a 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 giant bipeds can pull them.
Every time it takes a step, its wide feet will sink into the mud and sand. 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 humans.
Linen 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~ IndoMTL.com~ It turns out that the cooperation between monsters and humans has advanced to a fairly deep level in Jinxia City.
"Master Xia, good afternoon." A plump, blue-haired woman noticed the presence of a group of people, and walked here with graceful steps—she is the elder of the canoe, the high priest of Sania . "Are you here to review the training results of the new batch of fighters?"
"Good afternoon, Ms. Sonia." 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 farm cattle with basaltic organ beasts. To talk about modern agriculture, it is nothing more than chemical fertilizers, water conservancy construction and mechanized farming. Needless to say the first two, Rhizobium and soft bamboo 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 allocate water. The effect is no worse than nitrogen fertilizer or tap water irrigation systems. How much.
The last important task of mechanization naturally falls on the organ beast.
