Eight hundred and twentieth chapters food for combat readiness

After Ye Zi finished his explanation, Itis was the first to ask a question, "Your Majesty, can this kind of wheat catalyzed by magic really be eaten by ordinary people?"

This is probably the issue that others care most. After the Northern Pearl spoke, not only Pero, but also Spel showed a worried look.

"First of all, there is no essential difference between Gold No. 2 and Gold No. 1. Both are cultivated from leaves to form No. 2, which only further expands the yield characteristic." Roland replied with a smile. "Secondly, although it is transformed with magic, it does not contain magic, so there is no need to worry that ordinary people will be harmed by it. In fact, the porridge and pancakes I have eaten recently are all Golden No. 2 from the experimental field."

He couldn't help but think of the natural foods in later generations, the battle between hybrid foods and genetically modified foods. Some people always emphasize that natural foods are the best, but they don't know what natural foods should look like.

It is a very complicated issue to explain the origin of Golden No. 2 in detail. It involves mutations and heredity of organisms, and even leaves may not understand the truth. Although its ability can cause great changes in plants in the short term, it basically needs to continuously supply magic and cannot be passed on to offspring. If the change is too large, it will even die directly after being out of the supply of magic.

Therefore, when culturing golden wheat, the main function of leaves is to promote mutations and accelerate their growth and select the characteristics that are more conducive to planting. Eliminate inferior shapes and reproduce from generation to generation, and finally form wheat seeds with extremely outstanding characteristics. This is no different from the cultivation methods of traditional crops. The only difference is that the process has been greatly reduced, and hundreds of years of long evolution has been completed in less than two years.

Roland had seen the original watermelon look like a fist-sized hard-shelled sac mixed with several yellow flesh separated, which looked similar to an orange. In the seventeenth century, the flesh turned red and became much larger, but more than half of it was still filled with white meridians. If you dig it with a spoon, you might be able to emptiate it in four or five strokes.

In addition, the familiar fruits and crops are very different from before. In fact, they are not only plants, but animals are no exception. The most typical example is a pet that does not exist originally but is transformed from a wolf under the influence of generations of humans.

Therefore, the so-called natural food is the result of manual repeated screening. If it really returns to its original appearance, it will most likely be difficult to get rid of it.

Moreover, not only humans, any species, from mammals to microorganisms, are changing the surrounding environment all the time. In Roland's view, humans' construction of a power station is no different from yeast fermented bread. They are natural actions, because life itself is part of nature.

But these principles are too profound for officials from all over the country, so he simply simplified the answer into two parts: "It's okay if you eat Golden Number One, and it's naturally okay if you don't believe it, I'm eating it too." The best proof of the kings of this era is the best example.

Seeing that everyone no longer had any doubts on the surface, Roland continued, "In addition, grain transactions in each city must be controlled by the second-level city hall. Just like Wu Winter City, private sales of grain are prohibited. As for the specific implementation method, the general manager Barov will explain it to you in detail later."

Earl Spel Pasi raised his eyebrows, "Your Majesty, if Gold II really had such a high output, there would probably be a lot of surplus after feeding the people. If the city hall wants to purchase them all, the financial pressure would be very great. Besides, there are only more than 10,000 people in the city of Longling, so do they need to produce so much food?"

"That's right, because the excess food is not for food, but for storage."

"Storage?" She was slightly stunned.

"For the upcoming battle of divine will," Roland said word by word.

In addition to recruiting people for Grey Castle, his purpose of forcing the promotion of Golden No. 2 was not only because of the fact that this war that determined his destiny was a war that had not experienced a protracted and cruel war, so he could only prepare for war according to historical experience.

The worst case Roland could have expected was to drop by 30% in the population, all young and middle-aged people had to go to the battlefield, while all women and children went to work in factories to provide supplies to the frontline. In this situation, it is likely that farmland will be abandoned and no one will cultivate. If there is enough food reserves for two to three years, they may be able to persist until the turn of opportunity.

He asked the Minister of Construction Carl Vanbert in detail about this, who said that a granary with reasonable design, complete structure, and specialized supervision can store shelled grains for up to five years. Although the taste will drop significantly in more than one or two years, at that time, who cares whether the food is delicious or not?

It should be noted that the experimental field of leaves is far more than a high-yield crop, wheat. After two years of cultivation, crops introduced from various places, such as sugarcane, corn, potatoes, etc., have high-quality products. In particular, the latter two are much higher in unit yield than wheat due to their innate advantages. The reason why Roland chose to promote Golden No. 2 instead of promoting them is two points: one is that their offspring can reproduce normally and are not suitable for monopolizing grain transactions; the other is that their storage period is not as long as grains.

Of course, agriculture is an extremely complex industry. It not only includes what people eat, but also what animals eat... For example, without sufficient soybean feed, there is no developed animal husbandry industry. It is just that he cannot take too much into consideration now. Just ensuring that everyone can eat staple food during the war is already a big project.

Since most of the participants knew the significance of the war of divine will, no one questioned this policy that concerns the survival of mankind. At the end of the meeting, Roland turned his attention to the book, "I hope to add the course of agriculture to secondary education, mainly to cultivate professionals who can master various crop cultivation methods."

The education level of other cities is far from Wudongcheng. He also thinks that promoting and popularizing education throughout the entire Grayburg is a difficult thing to achieve, so it is better to directly send professionals who have achieved success in learning to guide agricultural production in various places. Moreover, special agronomical studies are also a beginning, and in the future, subjects such as chemical engineering, construction, and medicine will also be listed in the process. The trained leaders do not require that they can study on their own and invent a few new theories, as long as they are invested in the industry based on the content they have learned.

After the meeting, Wendy brought a new news.

The witches exploring the ruins in the snow-capped mountains in the western border have arrived safely at Wu Winter City Pier.

When Roland arrived at the dock, a figure flew straight into his arms.

The light golden curly hair rubbed against his cheeks, a faint itchy feeling, and a familiar breath filled his nose.
