Chapter 1908: Mechanical Dogs and Evolutionary Dogs of Territory No. 23
Although there were no standardized planting greenhouses in Territory No. 3 that could isolate death-elements, Xia Qing possessed a 0.65-mu planting area in a hidden valley that could isolate death-elements and maintain a constant temperature.
Except for the period of concentrated rice seedling cultivation in February each year, Xia Qing could freely use this planting area for the other 11 months.
Currently, the rice seedlings cultivated in the hidden valley had been transported back to the Northern First District and planted in the allies' farmland, but Xia Qing would not plant lettuce in the planting area belonging to her in the hidden valley, because lettuce plants grew too tall.
To maximize the use of the planting area in the hidden valley, the core members of the Territory Alliance discussed it many times and decided to adopt an A-shaped four-layer double-sided planting rack, planting agricultural crops in layers. That is, each planting rack had a total of eight planting troughs arranged in four layers, top and bottom.
After this modification, once the 0.65-mu ground area was fitted with planting racks and planting troughs, an effective planting area of 1.23 mu could be obtained.
Ventilation and light? With planting expert Zhang Tao around, these were not problems.
However, three-dimensional layered planting was still suitable for planting shallow-rooted dwarf or climbing agricultural crops.
Xia Qing had already passed the stage of farming to fill her stomach; she now wanted not only to be full but also to eat well. So, in addition to the lilies, purple sweet potatoes, and strawberries already planted in the hidden valley, Xia Qing decided to plant peanuts, X-2 spinach, and carrots in the remaining planting space.
Green-light lilies could improve lung function and effectively reduce the damage to the lungs caused by inhaling harmful gases such as death-elements. Xia Qing planted 16 green-light lily bulbs, and 11 lilies grew, which was one of the high-quality agricultural crops Xia Qing focused on cultivating this year.
Green-light evolutionary purple sweet potatoes could improve visual sensitivity and were a delicacy deeply loved by snipers. Xia Qing planned to plant 300 this year, and the seedlings had already been cultivated.
The green-light black-skinned peanuts native to the hidden valley were not only a high-quality protein source but also a high-quality agricultural crop that could be used to extract oil. Xia Qing planned to plant 8,000 this year.
The value of X-2 spinach goes without saying; strawberries were a high-quality fruit that Xia Qing and her companions all liked, and carrots were a vegetable liked by Yang Yang Laoda and the Bear Group. Xia Qing wanted to use these three types of plants to fill the remaining planting troughs.
After sowing the grass seeds in the 4.5 greenhouses today, Xia Qing would spend the rest of her time tomorrow, besides going to change the Bear King's dressing, on transporting nutrient soil to the hidden valley in the hidden valley of the Fifty-Ninth Mountain.
To grow good seedlings, one must have good soil, and the soil in the territory could not be transported out.
Some time ago, Qi Fu, Tang Heng, and Zhu Li formed a team, protected by allies with relatively high combat power such as Wu Wu Lianmin, Di Ming, and Zhang Zhang Hongda, to search for high-quality soil suitable for planting in the Forty-Eighth Mountain region and the first and second peaks of the Fifty-First Mountain.
The personnel participating in the mission all came from territories that possessed planting areas in the hidden valley.
Territory No. 3 lord Xia Qing was too busy, and the two territory lords of Territory No. 4 did not possess the qualifications to go out, so these two territories did not participate in this mission. Xia Qing paid the points, and Zhao Ze was responsible for the design of the multi-layer planting racks and planting boxes in the hidden valley.
Why choose these two mountain regions? Because these mountain regions were public hunting areas.
If humans entered other areas of the Northern or Western evolutionary forest, they would be judged as illegal intruders by the Broken-Waist Wolf, and then it could legally obtain the supplies and equipment of these people and demand compensation from them. Then, if they wanted to dig soil from these areas, they would have to pay points to buy the soil.
When the soil-seeking team went to the public hunting area, Xia Qing not only announced the itinerary in the Blue Star Alliance group in advance according to the regulations of the Blue Star Territory Lord Code, but also paid 200 points to the Broken-Waist Wolf, asking it to provide secret protection when the soil-seeking team entered the Forty-Eighth Mountain region.
Because the Forty-Eighth Mountain region was the boundary between the Western wolf pack and the Northern wolf pack, the Western wolf pack didn't know what a public hunting area was. If the human team operated in this mountain region, they were likely to have a conflict with the Western wolf pack.
Of course, Xia Qing paid these 200 points to Wu Wu Lianmin and Yu Shou and the others on the surface. Because nominally, they were executing a warning mission to ensure the sampling personnel were not attacked by the wolf pack.
In the end, the soil-seeking team selected the fertile sandy soil in the abandoned river channel under the second peak of the Forty-Eighth Mountain region. Then, the soil-transporting team composed of strength-type evolvers and strong laborers used the large trucks of the Ninth Center to pull the soil to under the third peak of the Fifty-Ninth Mountain.
Tomorrow, Xia Qing would be transporting these sandy soils from under the mountain to the hidden valley on the mountainside.
The soil depth of the top two layers of planting troughs of the A-shaped rack was 20 centimeters, used for planting shallow-rooted plants such as strawberries and X-2 spinach. The soil depth of the bottom two layers of planting troughs was 40 centimeters, used for planting expanding-root plants such as carrots, peanuts, and purple sweet potatoes.
According to Zhao Ze's calculations, Xia Qing needed to fill 246 cubic meters of nutrient soil into the planting troughs, weighing about 292 tons. If Xia Qing transported it alone, calculated at 10 hours of work per day, it would take 13.1 consecutive days of transportation.
Xia Qing was not afraid of hardship, but she didn't want to delay the farming season.
There were many eyes and ears on the Fifty-Ninth Mountain, so Xia Qing couldn't take Yang Yang Laoda over to help. So she hired 7 strength-type evolvers from Territory No. 1, including Guan Tong, Wen Wen Nengjie from Territory No. 17, and four mechanical dogs from Territory No. 23 to transport the soil.
The strength-type evolvers from Territory No. 1 were hired by Xia Qing through Qinglong Captain Yang Jin, and Wen Wen Nengjie took the initiative to participate, because he didn't have a planting area in the hidden valley, so he didn't need to transport soil.
The four mechanical dogs from Territory No. 23 were proposed by Shi Shi Youning to be lent to Xia Qing. The single-trip carrying capacity of each mechanical dog was 500 jin, equivalent to the carrying capacity of a fourth-level strength-type evolver. But they wouldn't get tired, so they didn't need to rest, so Xia Qing paid the fees according to the standard of a fifth-level strength-type evolver.
After Shi Shi Youning entered the territory, she had already understood that the exchanges between members of the Northern First District Territory Alliance were all settled at market prices, so Xia Qing proposed paying the fees according to market prices, and she agreed.
When Tang Huai was howling and asking if the mechanical dogs could transport soil for Territory No. 12 after transporting soil for Xia Qing, Shi Shi Youning didn't agree directly, but proposed that she needed to check and confirm the state of the mechanical dogs after completing the mission on-site before deciding whether they could continue to be rented out.
Wu Wu Chengyu had just been discharged from the hospital and was not suitable for going out; Shi Shi Youning had to complete the handover of Territory No. 23 tomorrow and take people to repair the greenhouses and irrigate the farmland to prepare for planting substitute grain vegetables, so she couldn't go out either. Therefore, the ones responsible for debugging and checking the four mechanical dogs with the team tomorrow were Wu Wu Wencan and Wu Wu Huan from Territory No. 23.
Wu Wu Wencan and Wu Wu Huan were the same age and were both children of the Wu family, just of different species.
Xia Qing used a large iron shovel to shovel a shovel of soil, covered the field plot where grass seeds had been sown, and then looked forward.
Three little monkeys were using their feet to hook the greenhouse supports, hanging upside down above the farmland to sow grass seeds. Whether it was 002 technical worker Does Daigua, 003 temporary worker Does Ergua, or 005 apprentice worker Blue-Face, every little monkey worked fast and well.
Because they could get high-quality food rewards after completing their work.
After the great evolution of Blue Star creatures, they were very different from before.
The brain-domain evolutionary border collie from Territory No. 23 could debug equipment and was indeed very powerful. But the three little monkeys in her territory who could farm were also very powerful! ===== CHAPTER 1909 =====
