Chapter 470 (1/2)
”Oh, I haven't introduced myself yet, fox, from the fox people.”
Fox's elegant salute.
Lu Chen looked at each other and said, ”I do have a solution. Although I can't solve the danger of life, at least in a hundred years, food will no longer be a problem.”
Byron's eyes were clear. ”Say it quickly.”
”I am going to develop new grain seeds. The new seeds will grow rapidly in the most barren land and have rich yield. As long as they are planted widely, everyone can eat enough in the future.”
Lu Chen is drawing big cakes. In fact, he doesn't know whether xiaoxiannai can succeed or not and how the seed yield will be after success, but at this time, he must stabilize the orc before there is follow-up.
”New seeds?”
Byron wondered, ”can seeds still develop new ones?”
He has heard of the development of new war technology, military array and magic, but he has not heard of the development of new seeds. Isn't it a fixed number of plants in nature?
”Yes, as long as there are sufficient research funds and research materials, there is hope to cultivate new and excellent seeds. My people are already working on it.”
Lu Chen nodded.
Fox continued to talk at the behest of the orc king. ”According to the Duke, even if it is possible to develop new seeds, it will take a lot of time. Won't my orcs still starve this year?”
Lu Chen said frankly, ”yes, it's very likely.”
”Do you want to persuade me to retreat with something that doesn't exist yet?”
The orc King's words are ferocious, which can't solve the current problem at all.
”I only said that it is very possible, but if the progress of seed research is fast, there are more than two months before winter. If it can be completed this month, the first batch of grain may be produced soon after winter, which can barely meet the needs of the orcs.”
Lu Chen said it was reluctantly because during the waiting period, some orcs will starve to death because of food shortage.
”More than two months? What seeds can grow so fast?”
Byron doesn't believe it. Among several staple foods common in aika continent, the shortest maturity is Gumi, which takes about three months to mature, and it also needs to be planted in the right season. In general, it is cooked once a year in fertile and warm places, twice a year.
According to the other party, if the R & D time is deducted, the growth time is only one and a half months at most. How is that possible?
”New seeds are naturally different from the past. They have stronger vitality and adaptability, and grow faster.”
Lu Chen's point is not nonsense. According to xiaoxiannai, theoretically speaking, seeds with stronger vitality are also easier to grow, and the maturity period will be much shorter.
This is her goal of cultivation and Lu Chen's expectation.
Fox pondered and said, ”the Duke means to allocate a batch of new seeds to our orcs after successful research?”
Lu Chen nodded, ”yes, as long as there are new seeds, the first year may still be difficult for everyone, but at the beginning of the next spring, this kind of seasonal Johnson's vitality seeds can be ripe for more than a year, and then everyone will never be troubled by food problems again.”
He looked at the orc king. ”All you need is a little patience and a temporary concession.”
Byron sat in a seat made of the bones of the creatures of the abyss, lost in thought.
He is not a completely brainless person. The other party speaks clearly and clearly, and even some words don't need to be pointed out by the other party.
In short, as long as their orcs retreat, they can get new seeds. Maybe there will be no food crisis on the grassland in the future.
He can still carry a full meal and a full meal.
But there was a very important question. He looked at Lu Chen, ”how can you guarantee that you can study the new seeds you said in this period of time?”
The main other party has no material object, and everything is empty talk.
If the orc has a new seed, give it to him now.
He can still make a judgment on the great cause of the future and the pros and cons of the moment.
As for robbery? Although their orcs have bandit thinking, if they rob, the Terran can burn all the new seeds. They can't get anything. Moreover, it's hard to say whether they win or lose.
Lu Chen smiled, ”I was not sure, but if you are willing to cooperate, you will be more sure.”
Byron's voice was low. ”What does that mean?”
”Studying new seeds also requires some material samples from your grassland. I hope the orcs can provide them.”
Lu Chen explained that on the list given by xiaoxiannai before, there were some plants and materials, which were specialties of the prairie.
”Are you fooling us with nothing?”
Byron patted the handrail and angrily said, not only did he have nothing, but he didn't give food, but also wanted their supplies on the prairie!?
”Calm down and listen to everything first.”
Fox warned that for him, it doesn't matter how many orcs die this winter, but the meaning of the new seed is different, which can completely stabilize the orcs.
Because of some special personal reasons, his stay in this world is also very long. The orcs who are strong and well fed are completely different from the orcs who are hungry and cold.
What he wants is a stronger orc, which is good for his plan.
Byron snorted coldly, ”tell me.”
Lu Chen read out a string of names: ”don't bend grass, one day flower...”
When Lu Chen finished, Byron loosened his frown.
He thought it would be some precious Orc specialty. Who knows, it's just some common plants and materials on the grassland.
Buqu grass is a kind of wild grass growing in the extreme cold in the west of the grassland. It has tenacious vitality and can grow in a very bad environment. However, this grass contains toxins, which can not be eaten by people or livestock.
One day flower is rare. It belongs to a unique scenery on the grassland.
This kind of flowers fall into the land, take root and sprout, bloom and wither, and there is only one day. When withering, the white furry gags will drift away with the wind, blow further, and then fall into the land again, repeating this process.
Therefore, where there are a large number of flowers in a day, you can often see a very gorgeous and romantic scene. The white GAGs are flying all over the sky. The flowers on the ground are blooming and growing again, telling the reincarnation of life.
”If that's all you need, that's OK.”
Byron nodded. These things are not worth money. They can't be eaten a day. They have no nutritional value. They are played by young people and children in the tribe.
He looked at Lu Chen. ”I have a question. Why should I cooperate with the orcs?”
This is where Byron can't figure it out. Plants like Buqu grass and Buri flower are not rare, and it's not difficult for each other to do it by themselves.
If new seeds can be successfully developed through these things, it doesn't make much difference whether they have the help of orcs or not.
