Chapter 47
Then, Lin Yan used the divine power imprint to alter the genes of some potatoes, which would be used as the temple's dedicated cultivation seeds.
This kind of thing was very difficult to achieve even with technological means before Lin Yan transmigrated, but now, using a few points of divine power exchanged from the virtual divine spark, it was more than enough to accomplish it.
After planting these potatoes, any potatoes that grew could only propagate for two seasons, and could not be kept as seed for unlimited reproduction.
Through this method, Lin Yan kept the potato seeds controlled in his own temple's hands.
The fox-woman Sister Qing Ling also selected some devout believers to specialize in planting the potato seeds.
However, before that, all the potatoes in the soil that did not bear the divine power imprint had to be eaten up.
Then they would be replaced with potato seeds bearing the divine power imprint.
The potatoes grown from these seeds would be the genuine divine beans.
The current composition of the fox clan's forces was not complicated, and no other races had noticed the Miracle Wasteland and the potatoes, so within at most half a month, this task could be completed.
The locations of the iron mine and coal mine had already been told by Lin Yan to the fox-woman Sister Qing Ling, and large numbers of original Black Fox warriors were dispatched to mine.
The energy points obtained from burning coal were only slightly more than from burning wood, but the difference was limited.
Lin Yan was not particularly short on energy points now, so he simply let the fox clan make use of these coal mines.
The land of the Miracle Wasteland was relatively flat, and after the fox clan sent people to do some simple leveling, a road was built.
Then large numbers of wooden-wheeled carts were manufactured, used to transport iron ore and coal.
After improving the potato seeds, Lin Yan decided to grant the fox clan one more thing.
That was cement.
This world did not yet have cement.
The technical difficulty of cement was not high; the main problem in making cement was that calcination required high temperatures.
To maintain a temperature of over a thousand degrees required a massive amount of energy.
Without an enclosed environment, even burning coal could not reach such a temperature.
But for Lin Yan, this was precisely not a problem.
A temperature of over a thousand degrees—who gives a damn.
