"Consultant Xia Duo, please look over there. Over there is the experimental area for the localization of new Yeerlan vegetable varieties in Elan. All Yeerlan vegetables sold on the market are carefully cultivated varieties and are highly dependent on specific environments. sex.

"This is not only the environment where the lock is set up, but also the natural environment. Therefore, if you want to grow fruits and vegetables in Yeerland locally, you need a localization process."

Although Phillipa is not an agricultural mage, as an advisor to King Mian, he has to provide advice to King Mian on a regular basis, so he will naturally be familiar with various affairs in Yeerlan, which naturally includes the agricultural field.

At this time, when talking about Yeerlan's agricultural achievements, Philipfa also looked proud, but Xia Duo on the side felt very uncomfortable when he heard it.

Although Netheril is currently among the great powers, its military capabilities are barely adequate. In other aspects, compared with the elven countries, the gap is quite obvious, including the agricultural field that Shado has always attached great importance to.

Just a few days ago, Xia Duogang and Everriska's Regante reached an intention to cooperate in the agricultural field. The purpose was very simple, and they wanted to learn Everriska's advanced agricultural technology through cooperation.

And now, after Philipfa said this, Shado once again discovered that Yeerlan's agriculture also has great merits. If this is the case, how about a cooperation?

But cross-breeding has been used in the cooperation project with Everriska. What else can he use to cooperate with Yeerlan?

Moreover, Ye Erlan and Everriska are different. When Shado cooperates with Everriska, he almost doesn’t have to worry about Everriska tearing up the agreement. However, if he cooperates with Ye Erlan, it will be difficult not to have such worries.

At present, all he can come up with are research ideas or directions, and he does not have real agricultural technology. In other words, Netheril as a whole cannot come up with technology that is equivalent to that of Yerlan for equal cooperation.

Once he provides ideas or directions, it is entirely possible for Ye Erlan to leave him and go it alone. Even if they don't directly tear up the agreement and deliberately delay the progress of the cooperation, there is nothing they can do about it.

In addition, if his idea or direction is really promising, why would he cooperate with Ye Erlan? The number one in agriculture in the North is Evereska!

Thinking like this, Xia Duo decided to give it a try. Maybe Yeerlan likes "poverty alleviation"!

…

After walking through another experimental area, Xia Duo finally said what he had been thinking about for a long time, "I wonder if Yeerlan is interested in the demiplane ecological farm?"

"Demiplane Ecological Farm?" This was the first time Philipfa had heard of this word, but from the literal meaning, he could roughly guess the meaning of the word, so he showed a hint of curiosity and asked Xia Duo:

"Has Netheril already achieved certain results in this regard?"

"This is not, it is just my personal idea to build the farm into a complete ecology to maximize the utilization of various resources. The most important thing is that it can provide an important reference blueprint for future transformation of the plane. !”

This is indeed an idea of ​​Xia Duo. Transforming the plane is not just about transforming the magic network environment to be similar to the main plane, but also the ecological environment.

For example, in the yellow sand demiplane, Xia Duo can indeed transform the magic network environment in that plane to be close to the main plane, and even the physical environment (gravity, radiation, light and heat, etc.) is also very close.

But that plane is still a desert environment. If it wants to be truly livable, it must at least provide various materials that normal humans need to survive, right?

The most basic problem of eating and drinking is difficult to solve. Unless magic is used to maintain the production of various food crops, people cannot be self-sufficient based on the natural environment alone.

The cost of maintaining magic is generally relatively high. If it really comes down to using half-plane traffic, then of course the less the cost, the better.

If it is only used to transform the plane, then there is also a cost issue to consider. If the cost is too high, why not just look for a ready-made livable plane that does not need to be transformed?

The concept of an ecological farm is actually to build an ecological cycle within a farm now, and then gradually expand it to the entire plane. Or if the farm can continue to cycle, it will actually be a complete demi-plane ecological farm.

With such a farm, you can continuously produce a variety of survival materials with as little input as possible.

With the corresponding automated facilities and equipment, once a person owns such an automated ecological farm, he will have the last confidence to exist in this world——

No need to worry about hunger at all.

Many times, there is only one thing that the rulers can control at the bottom, and that is food and clothing.

If the bottom class can obtain the most basic or even relatively abundant food and clothing materials without doing anything, then the ruler is actually no longer a ruler to him. At this time, he is qualified to ask the ruler to do things for him and them. More to come.

The rule at this time is not so much a rule as a union, a union of micro productivity units, rather than being coerced by the rulers to obtain food and clothing.

Although there is some pressure, Xia Duo is actually capable of providing a portable demiplane for all the people in the territory. In this case, the ecological farm seems to be the only remaining piece of the puzzle. (Automation is not required)

If you want to study ecological farms, agricultural technology is essential, and the demiplane can provide different natural environments for research, although Ye Erlan can still leave him alone to study the ecological farms in the main plane.

But the resources in the main plane are so rich that there is no need to be so frugal. If Ye Erlan really leaves him alone, it will not be enough to open up a bigger gap in the agricultural field.

The real value of ecological farms lies in the fact that they can be used as a reference blueprint for plane transformation, and plane exploration and even demiplane production are rare leading areas in Netheril.

In this regard, cooperation between Shaduo and Ye Erlan has a win-win foundation.

"The collapse of the Dragon Madness Lock in the main plane has shown an irreversible trend. In the future, we may be forced to flee the main plane. If we can't find a suitable habitable plane at that time, transforming the plane will be almost the only choice."

If Shaduo said this to humans, the other party might sneer. What escape from the main plane, don't even think about it, but the elves have already experienced a plane escape.

That time they were lucky enough to come to the main plane, a large habitable plane. But in the future, when the Dragon Madness Mystic Lock of the main plane collapses and the situation is so critical that they really need to escape, who can guarantee that they can still find a large habitable plane?

If you master the plane transformation technology, you can temporarily live in small and medium-sized planes near the main plane, and return to the main plane after the disaster on the main plane subsides.

By then, you will need to use the plane transformation technology!

After all, if the Dragon Madness Mystic Lock completely collapses, it will most likely cause a devastating blow to the surface ecology, which can be seen from the current climate anomaly.
