Chapter 20 (1/2)
Crops
Ritone and Gold went together to a certain warehouse
Inside of it, there was a s
「This is…?」
「Gold-sama, this will be the first time I’ve told you about this My special ability is to sue” None of this trash exists in this world, so there could be so is kept in storage」
「So it was like that…」
Getting to knohat Ritone is capable of, Gold was sincerely intrigued
「And then, in that world, they produce a lot of food products Those goods aren’t consumed completely, so so those right now」
Ritone, as he said that, closed his eyes and concentrated
「The “crops” that have been throay in another world, come forth!」
As Ritone swung the wand, there appeared lots of plants lying around on the floor
「This is…」
When Gold saw that, he was speechless There were grain, barley, and much like those already cultivated in this world, there were also rains that were beneficial to the body There’s also a round, brown one that looks like it’s grown in clusters, but most of them he’s never seen before
「This cereal is the same as the one commonly harvested in this world, but this has been i」
「Certainly, this one is shorter」
Seeing the cereal in Ritone’s hands, Gold blurted out his opinion The height of the cereal ear was shorter
[Tach: grain-bearing part of the stem of a cereal]
「To tell you the truth, shortening its height is a point of i fertilizer for our territory?」
「Yes, as the condition to es, we proher tiers of earthto visit each village, decoanic waste to use as fertilizer」
Gold nods in response
「However, if it’s given toothe crops to collapse」
「It’s as you say… Eh, are you saying that the reason why it is so short is… ?」
「That’s right, this cereal is purposelythat, the crops won’t collapse because of the added fertilizer, and it will be possible to produce rain」
The thing that Ritone is stating proudly– is about the period of improvement on crops for mass production around the 1960’s, the so-called “Green Revolution” To exponentially increase the production of crops, there was an increase in fertilizer mixed into the soil, however, since the cereal ear became heavier than before, all crops collapsed With that, the stem and the root couldn’t send nutrients to the ear properly, and the ear sunk into the water, dropping the quality and quantity of the grain production To solve this proble was resolved
This lead to an exponential increase of crops made for mass production
「Th-this is a」
Hearing the explanation, Gold was deeply moved
「If we use this, we could expect a higher yield even if we use less area than before And taking advantage of that, we could use the re arable land to cultivate other plants」
Saying that, Ritone explained the re crops
「This is corn These are suited for dry lands」
He explained the yellow grained crop that Gold was holding in his hand
「Aside from that, I have summoned “Rice”, “Potatoes”, “Quinoa”, and other types Rice is cultivated in wetlands Although potatoes have poison on their sprout, if the sprout is re the seed potatoes we can expect to have rown on row on nearly barren lands and still produce highly nutritious grains」
Grabbing them one after another, he talked about them
