Chapter 1091

Mainly because he couldn't buy the improvement manuals before.

Moreover, the basic fertilizer's effect was so-so, the farmland wasn't much, and the raw materials weren't enough either.

The main raw materials are feces and urine.

Zhao Chi also wasn't really keen on buying these kinds of raw materials…

So it had been shelved the whole time.

But now that he has these two improvement manuals, it's worth building a fertilizer workshop.

Besides, the crop yield in Zhao Chi's territory is already extremely high; with super-improved fertilizer, it would only get stronger on top of strong.

Building on his already high-yield foundation with another boost — that would simply explode.

The basic fertilizers are manure and urine fertilizer, mastered without needing to research them.

They belong to the default tech tree.

Zhao Chi can view them directly.

There are two categories in total, divided into base fertilizer and topdressing fertilizer.

【Item】 Manure

【Effect】 Yield +10%

【Usage】 1 ton per plot

【Duration】 1 year

【Composting】 3 months

【Materials】 Feces, straw

【Description】 A common farm fertilizer, usually used as a base fertilizer. Can be made by mixing human and livestock feces with straw to increase crop yield.

Actually, a +10% yield is already worth making.

But Zhao Chi is used to the super-improved version, so he always feels this falls far too short.

Manure is a base fertilizer that can enhance the land's fertility.

Looking at the data, 1 ton of fertilizer can boost the fertility of 1 plot for 1 year — not bad at all.

The raw material for manure is definitely feces.

Then mix in straw, and leave it for 3 months to compost.

After composting, the fertilizer becomes loose in texture, the stench fades, and turns a black-yellowish brown.

Then it's ready to use.

Feces have very high water content; after composting, a large amount of moisture evaporates.

So 1 ton of feces plus 1 ton of straw yields 1 ton of manure.

【Item】 Urine Fertilizer

【Effect】 Growth +10%

【Usage】 1 ton per plot

【Duration】 1 month

【Fermentation】 10 days

【Materials】 Urine, clean water

【Description】 A common farm fertilizer, usually used as a topdressing. Can be made by mixing human and livestock urine with clean water to increase crop growth speed.

Urine fertilizer is a topdressing.

It's applied while the crops are growing.

It increases crop growth speed by 10% — that margin is also pretty good.

Likewise, 1 ton needs to be poured on one plot, and the fertility effect lasts 1 month.

If a crop needs 6 months to grow, then it needs to be poured 6 times.

For Zhao Chi it's just right — both wheat and experience fruit only need 1 month to mature and be harvested.

Urine fertilizer is made by mixing urine with a large amount of clean water.

The ratio is roughly 1:10.

100 kilograms of urine, plus 1 ton of clean water, fermented for 10 days, yields 1 ton of urine fertilizer.

The production speed is much faster than manure.

But manure, as a base fertilizer, only needs to be applied once a year, so waiting a bit is no big deal.

While urine fertilizer, as a topdressing, needs to be poured once every month, so being faster is only fitting.

There are 60 Feathered Cattle in the territory.

Each Feathered Cattle is very large in size.

Each one produces 50 kilograms of feces and 50 kilograms of urine per day.

This herd of Feathered Cattle produces 3 tons of cow dung and 3 tons of cow urine every day.

Quite a lot — more than enough.

But these Feathered Cattle aren't very intelligent; they can't possibly go to the toilet to excrete like humans.

Cow dung can be picked up, but cow urine isn't easy to collect — it can only be left to chance.

Fortunately, the territory now has quite a population; those women all urinate in the toilet, so it can be collected steadily.

Moreover, humans produce more urine than feces.

An ordinary person produces 0.5 kilograms of feces and 1 kilogram of urine per day.

And these Taoyuan women have huge appetites…

They eat a lot, drink a lot, so naturally they defecate and urinate a lot too…

Each woman can produce 3 kilograms of feces and 6 kilograms of urine per day.

The territory now has over 850 people, producing 2.5 tons of feces and 5 tons of urine daily.

That's quite good already.

In the future, they can be made to drink more water and produce more urine.

Gu Qing has plenty of experience with this.

Previously it was for spinning silk, now it's for combat — her daily water intake is never small.

The silk she produces now is almost all translucent white.

Pale yellow silk is very rare.

She can be asked to spread the word.

And the previous feces and urine weren't wasted either — Zhao Chi already collected all of it.

He knew it would come in handy later.

He had gone into the women's latrines in the territory.

There was no choice — the territory only had women's latrines.

Mainly to check the conditions inside.

Long ago, he had specially arranged separate urination and defecation areas.

Dedicated zones for dedicated uses.

This makes collection very easy.

He doesn't have any special hobby — the academy simply covered this kind of course separately.

Several large pits are already filled to the brim.

Feces pits and urine pits are placed separately.

Each large pit holds 10 tons.

Four feces pits and eight urine pits are already filled.

Sometimes when passing by the feces pits, Zhaochidou Society would recall the Fragrant Food Street.

Fortunately, his mind stayed clear at all times — he never once jumped down to try it.

These raw materials will be put to use very soon.

He took out the Improvement Book.

Use them all.

First, the manure.

A picture of fertilizer appeared before his eyes — dark brown crumbly chunks, looking at a glance very much like soil.

Several arrows pointed toward different improvement directions.
