Chapter 127 Animal Labor - 1. For 900 months
There are a group of Taoist priests like Qi Hui who know how to make alchemy, and there are also systematic searches to provide detailed technical information and formulas.
It is still possible to study simple chemical products. Even if we cannot produce the same products as those of later generations, at least we can process substitutes with similar effects.
So Bai Yuqi "invented" various money-making projects for time travellers, such as making soap, burning cement, etc. If someone traveled behind him and saw an "industrial Tang Dynasty" comparable to that of later generations,
"I guess you will be desperate, right?"
At the same time, in addition to the various existing industries in Kuyu City.
The various resources that Bai Yuqi took his disciples into the mountains to explore before are gradually being developed according to demand.
A large number of mines under the name of Tiangongmen were established, and medicinal plantations and cash crop plantations under the name of Shennongmen also required a large amount of manpower.
These two areas alone are enough to consume the new population. If the potential of Kuyu City is really unleashed, filling up all the dormitories in Kuyu City may not be able to meet Bai Yuqi's needs.
Once the scale of production expanded, the new population in Kuyu City was not enough.
Bai Yuqi also had to improve work efficiency and reduce labor consumption by improving production tools.
However, when it comes to some tasks where it is temporarily impossible to use tools to improve efficiency, we have to find other ways, such as the problem of picking fruit trees that begin to mature after autumn!
When searching the mountains before, Bai Yuqi collected all the wild fruit trees and various cash crops he could find.
They were all marked with [Secret Mark], then collected back using [Summoning Plants] and [Replacing Plants], and planted around Kuyu City.
When the fruits on these wild fruit trees begin to mature in pieces, how to pick them becomes a big project.
After all, wild fruit trees are not like those artificially planted in later generations. After improvement, the dwarf plants grow extremely free and unrestrained.
Although Bai Yuqi has planned to arrange for Shennongmen disciples to learn how to prune and graft fruit trees to improve the plants, varieties and fruit taste.
However, due to the various skills given to them by the [Apprentice] subsystem, the level is low and it is difficult to upgrade. The learning of agricultural knowledge is limited by their own education level, and the progress is very slow.
Therefore, unless Bai Yuqi takes action personally, the improvement effect will not be seen in a short period of time, at least this year it will definitely be too late.
However, the wild fruits that grow in the fruit forests and whose taste is not very good cannot be wasted. Bai Yuqi can only organize manpower to pick them.
With Datang's technological level, industrial foundation and talent pool.
I want to create the kind of combine harvester Bai Yuqi described that can sow tens of thousands of acres of land and harvest tens of millions of grains.
It is almost impossible in a short period of time. It cannot be solved in terms of power alone. Besides, it seems that the combine harvester cannot harvest fruit crops.
At present, in terms of "power" in Kuyu City, it is still mainly in the stage of human power and animal power. Although water power and fire power have been put into research, no results have been obtained yet.
This is also the biggest pain of being a time traveler. Even if a time traveler knows everything and knows everything, even if he has all kinds of black technologies in his mind, he still wants to develop a complete industrial system by himself.
Come on, it’s really difficult!
Even Bai Yuqi, who drives an unscientific QR code, has a hard time doing this, not to mention those buddies who slap him with bare hands and are even soul-piercing.
Because even if he can build an aircraft carrier by himself, what's the use?
Is it possible that he has to do everything by himself? Even if he is exhausted, he will not be able to realize the five modernizations of the Tang Dynasty?
Therefore, Bai Yuqi had no choice but to be patient and change his behavior in the early stages of Kuyu City's development, where he was eager to be "big, fast," and always wanted to get it done in one step.
First, concentrate on cultivating talents and establishing a foundation. You no longer do everything yourself, but leave more to your "disciples" to complete in the process of learning and accumulation.
I only play the role of a planner, guide and life mentor... Well, this is also very consistent with the character of Wuji Emperor.
Before Kuyu City’s industrial base could produce mechanical equipment that could replace human labor.
Bai Yuqi could only find another way to use the skills and small-scale production equipment given by various systems for the construction and development of Kuyu City.
But after all, system skills can only be spread within a small area. If you want to popularize later generations of technology in the Tang Dynasty, you can only slowly cultivate talents to climb the technology tree little by little.
Therefore, the future development path of Kuyu City must be the path of the demonic reform civilization with "technology as the basis and magic as the core". Large-scale basic industries will be left to the Tang Dynasty, while Wuji Sect will play the role of a research and development institution that controls the core technology.
In order to solve the problem of difficult picking of fruits at high altitudes.
Bai Yuqi simply took the Shennongmen disciples in charge of Kuyu Zoo and domesticated a group of golden monkeys to help.
These little guys have light bodies and flexible movements, and are definitely good helpers in picking. The premise is that they know not to stuff the fruits into their mouths immediately after picking them.
In order to achieve the purpose of cultivating animal labor force, Bai Yuqi also selected a group of disciples from the Shennongmensi Animal Hall.
A separate [Beast Taming Sect] was established to specialize in learning [Craft - Breeding Animals], [Skills - Taming Animals] and [Professional - Animal Tamer].
They even spent their own money to teach them the [Animal Affinity] expertise, as well as [Animal Taming Technique], [Animal Soothing Technique], [Animal Conversation Technique] and other spells, so that they could be responsible for taming those animals collected from the mountains.
of wild animals.
It’s also interesting to talk about these golden monkeys.
Originally, when Bai Yuqi led his disciples to search the mountains, he felt that eating monkey brains was a bit cruel, so he did not plan to include these primates in the diet.
But I didn't expect that because a large number of fruit trees in the mountains were looted and concentrated near Kuyu City, it didn't take long for these hozens to sniff the traps themselves.
The disciples of the Shen Nong Sect who were responsible for taking care of the orchard naturally did not want these monkey heads to harm the fruit.
Just use human food such as millet dumplings that can't be eaten in the wild, plus some basic animal training skills.
They tricked the monkeys into Kuyu Zoo and locked them up, preparing to raise them and then kill them for meat.
For these disciples who were born as refugees, it is good to have food to eat during the famine.
