Chapter 507 Agricultural Development

After everyone else left, the study became quiet again. Facing Fiona's playful eyes, Tang En blushed, held up the tea cup to cover it up, and then suddenly thought of something important.

"Brian, how are you doing with your research on the lens? Is there any news from Clotto?"

The microscope is related to the development of Seiko. After all, Clotto has the foundation of dwarf technology. If there is progress on his side, Tang En will not have to distract his energy on the microscope.

Brian scratched his head, took a sip of tea, and said, "There's not much progress on our side, but I heard from the little Nokia guy that Master Clotho's side seems to be making good progress."

Tang En perked up and immediately asked Brian to call Nokia over. He wanted to know about the progress in this regard.

After Nokia arrived, he said crisply: "Master Croto has restored a prototype based on the records and the principles provided by Mr. Tang En."

"prototype?"

"Yes, a prototype of Master Engineer's glasses!"

Nokia said excitedly: "Master Croto has been reading the documents excavated from the ruins these days without sleep, and finally succeeded in creating a prototype. Although it is a prototype, he already has a direction, and he has tried Used it, and he only had one sentence for it - the opportunity for the rise of dwarf technology has arrived!"

Tang En didn't expect that microscopes would play such an important role in dwarf technology. He asked with interest, "Are Master Engineer's glasses so important?"

"Yes! It can be said that the Master Engineer Glasses and the Dwarf Saber are two essential tools for our dwarf engineers. Before this, we only had the dwarf saber!"

Nokia showed off the dwarf saber hanging on his belt, which comes with many retractable professional engineering tools, which is very convenient. He said: "The dwarf saber gives us the ability to adjust equipment anytime and anywhere, but the engineering master glasses are more The key is that with it we can discover the problem immediately and assist us with repairs, adjustments, etc. After my precise calculations, with the Master Engineer Glasses, our efficiency can be increased by at least 198.84%!"

Although I don't understand why it is 198.84%, the nearly doubled increase in efficiency is a quite scary value, but Tang En is more concerned about another thing.

"Listen to what you said, the Master Engineer's glasses are not just microscopes. Do they have other functions?"

"Yes, the Master Engineer glasses are equipped with upgradeable modules, and there are many replacement modules that can be equipped."

Nokia said happily: "With the optical filter, you can observe the stability of the internal energy path and the structure and fine wear between parts, and perform precise operations. With the fault adjuster, you can analyze the engineering equipment at the first time and discover the Where the problem lies, with a micro-sensor, it can help us locate the fault and eliminate other interference. With a high-energy welder, it can help us conveniently weld the target... In short, engineering master glasses are very important! And the most basic Optical filters are the essential core of a master engineer’s eyewear.”

Tang En suddenly realized that this optical filter seemed to be a head-mounted microscope.

"Master Clotho has recently completed basic testing. After the testing is completely completed, he will begin to order the factory to mass-produce the Master of Engineering glasses. At that time, he will produce a batch of trial glasses for you based on human size."

Tang En was overjoyed: "Thank you Master for me."

With such convenient multifunctional auxiliary glasses, it is foreseeable that the efficiency of the Magic Energy Engineering Research Institute and the existing technology will be greatly improved. Maybe the mass production of the Magic Energy Pistol will rely on this engineering master. The glasses are done.

After seeing off Brian and Nokia, and coaxing Ilia to go back with them, Tang En thought of another very important thing.

It was already the beginning of the month of recovery, which was the best time for spring planting. After returning from Taris, he had not paid attention to Ellington's spring planting issue.

"Fiona, how are the arrangements for spring planting now?"

Fiona looked at Tang En with a look of resentment: "Lord, you finally know how to care about this matter."

Tang En rubbed his nose in embarrassment: "Isn't it too busy recently? And Gilad can't relax."

Although Gilad's war with Taris is related to Ellington's future, spring seeding is also related to Ellington's livelihood and is an important issue that cannot be ignored.

Fiona opened the book, looked at it, and said: "Now the magic cultivator has been fully debugged and overhauled. Everything is in perfect condition and can be started at any time."

"Our Datang harvester fleet for the autumn harvest has been transformed into a farming fleet during the spring harvest. It has set off a few days ago, taking away two hundred magic cultivators, as well as a large amount of Ellington promotional materials."

"Although independence has been declared, because Girard is focusing on Taris at the moment, there is no too tight defense line around Ellington, so the farming convoy can go to surrounding towns smoothly."

"In addition, due to the expansion of the territory, Kaspar Miland also needs magic cultivators, so it has been working overtime recently. Currently, we produce one thousand magic cultivators for our own use, and the fleet took away 200 units, leaving 800 units remaining. , but according to the currently registered farming area, there is still a gap of 300 units, and it is estimated that it will take half a month to complete the production work."

"But half a month will affect spring planting, so I suggest that the existing 800 units be split first and 300 of them be mobilized to Casparmiland to meet the farming work in the Casparmiland area. .”

"As for the farming convoy, they can start eastward and take the route of the mountain city of Bein, the stone city of Preston and the water city of Paganis."

"Your Excellency Gallian's construction team has now reached between Bein and Preston. Now Ellington can use a flat cement road to reach Bein, so the efficiency of the plowing team can be greatly improved, but there is no need to worry about time. question."

Alleria was a little puzzled: "Why not meet Ellington's needs first? After all, Ellington is our foundation."

Tang En heard Alleria say "our foundation" and said happily: "This is actually easy to understand, because the magic cultivator is produced in Ellington, and it can be put into use directly after it is produced here. But Caspar rice collar is different, there is still transportation time in between, which will affect the efficiency..."

"exactly."

Fiona nodded and explained: "And because we Ellington also have the help of elemental creatures, so without the magic cultivator, the efficiency will not be much lower. After enough magic cultivators are produced, we will fall behind." The efficiencies will soon be supplemented.”

Alleria suddenly realized: "That's it."

"but……"

Fiona closed the book, stared at Tang En and said: "The cultivating machine is already in place. Where are the new high-yielding seeds you promised us, Lord? Now every day's delay is a day's delay. Many farmers would have been anxious. If it weren't for Because of your prestige, they may have already started farming secretly."

Tang En slapped his forehead: "Look at me! Forget about this! Leave the seeds to me. After these days, Grandia should have produced a lot of seeds."

Fiona asked: "Can you tell me how much the yield of the new grain species can be increased?"

Knowing the increase in output, Fiona can estimate the grain output of the autumn harvest in advance and carry out the next step of planning at the same time. The massive increase in population will bring huge food pressure. Whether it is purchasing or expanding the farming area, everything needs to be done in advance. Be prepared.

"According to the data provided by Grandia, the new grain varieties can probably increase production capacity by 30%."

"Thirty percent!?"

Fiona and Alleria both took a breath of air. What is the concept of increasing production by 30%?

This means that the same cultivated area can feed a larger population than the original!

Ellington is a vast and sparsely populated area. Based on the original cultivated area, it is about 1,500 hectares, and the output is about 1,500 tons. If the output is increased by 30%, it will be nearly 2,000 tons!

However, don’t forget the drastic agricultural reforms that Tang En carried out after taking office!

The issuance of the pioneering policy and the birth of new farm tools and magic agricultural machinery have injected a lot of vitality into Ellington's agriculture. With Tang En's support, Ellington's farmers have been working hard at almost any cost for the past six months. Because of this, the arable area of ​​Ellington has reached a terrible increase this year!

More than fourteen thousand hectares!

That's right! Nearly ten times improvement!

If it weren't for the large influx of people into Ellington to work in factories and the corresponding water conservancy projects that couldn't keep up, this number would have increased even more!

The registered cultivated area of ​​Casparmiland is about 1,200 hectares. After the frozen soil thawed, Fiona conveyed an order for Casparmiland to open up the land as quickly as possible. However, because the time was too tight, the increase The number is very limited, currently only reaching more than 2,800 hectares.

One thousand magic cultivators can definitely meet the farming needs of Casparmi Territory. Even if it is a temporary expansion of land to increase the farming area, there will still be a slight surplus.

In other words, for spring planting this year, the total land that needs to be cultivated in Tang En's territory totals more than 17,000 hectares. After deducting weather, harvest losses, etc., the estimated production capacity is about 17,000 tons. Now the grain production capacity is about 17,000 tons. A 30% increase in seed production is equivalent to 22,000 tons!

That’s a terrible amount of lift!

The increase in food production means that more people can have full stomachs, more people have the strength to do other things, and more human resources can be utilized...

The benefits are too many to describe!

This is only a 30% increase. If Grandia solves the problem of hybrid genetics and doubles the output...

This is not impossible. Arch Druid Yuan's hybrid rice tripled the rice yield of 300 kilograms per mu. This is also entirely possible with Purandar's wheat.

Tang En sighed, the picture was so beautiful that he couldn't even imagine it.

Tang En came back to his senses and was suddenly startled: "You just said... that Gallian has built a road?"
