Future library

From understanding astrology to now, Cheng Jinzhou himself has reviewed what he has learned. Doing things like projection is not difficult, just some formulas, which are still not perfected in this era.

Cheng Jinzhou quickly started writing on the paper. The more Cao Feng read, his eyes became brighter and brighter. He looked like Sun Wukong looking at the White Bone Demon.

"Can I see the progress of your research on food? I mean, I want to know the direction of your research in this area." Cheng Jinzhou wrote out the formula, but he didn't seem to care much. In fact, he didn't think the microscope was What is the essential help to the astromancers? In the same way, the focus of projection is also a very branch of geometry. If you want to get contribution points through it, the number is too small.

In his opinion, instead of wasting time writing a results report, it would be better to make a food transaction and get compensation from the Covenant Library - the idea is an idea, whether it is correct is another matter.

Cao Feng is better said to be an early biologist than to study grain. Of course, his current understanding of biology is still in the observation stage, so the microscope has become extremely important. While he and Jin Xi were looking at the formulas, he said without looking back: "Xiao Kang, go get it for Mr. Cheng." Our research record.”

The attitude is natural, but the etiquette cannot be called it. Cheng Jinzhou felt that Mr. Cao Feng seemed to be a very scientific astral warlock.

The one called Xiaokang is a star warlock apprentice with a normal body. The reason why he is called so is because several of Cao Feng's other star warlock apprentices are obviously trending towards larger bodies. Perhaps they are stars who choose to increase their body weight in order to use the star array. Sorcerer's Apprentice.

Outside the research room, there seemed to be special archives and other rooms. Xiaokang quickly compiled a report of several hundred pages and handed it to Cheng Jinzhou. He smiled and said: "What aspect do you want to know, I can make one for you." briefing."

"Oh, can you give a briefing?" The last time Cheng Jinzhou heard about this thing, he was still sitting in the living room with a TV and computer.

"A simple report?" Xiaokang looked confused.

Cheng Jinzhou laughed, waved his hand and asked, "Do you grow your own food?"

"Of course. We have about..."

"Where to plant it?"

"We have at least 20 manors near the capital, covering about 150,000 hectares of land."

"How much?" Cheng Jinzhou almost bit off his tongue. For children living in the city, it is difficult to think about how much land is 2.25 million acres, which is 1.485 billion square meters. In fact, even in this era of relatively vast land and sparsely populated areas, 2.25 million acres of fertile land can still support more than 500,000 farmers. If tenants are used, at least 10,000 households are needed. This is the population of a medium-sized county.

Xiaokang could understand Cheng Jinzhou's surprise. He smiled and turned to the location of the land in the report and said with a smile: "It is mainly the land belonging to Liu Kuangxing Warlock. He is a level 4 Star Warlock. The land donated by the Star Warlock Association alone is tens of thousands of hectares." .”

"Where does the land of the Star Warlock Association come from?"

"Part of it is purchased from the market. You know that the association is always very rich. Every year, the Star Warlocks' contributions are endless, and there are also funds and items sent from the Star Warlock Association headquarters. In addition, the imperial court will also give away a Grant land and other things to the association.”

Cheng Jinzhou had never been exposed to these contents and asked in confusion: "Why did the imperial court donate land to the Star Warlock Association?"

"In this way, the Star Warlock Association will have a reason to come forward to help them when necessary." Xiaokang proudly raised his neck and said: "Although theoretically, Star Warlocks do not need to participate during the war, but the troops with Star Warlocks participating will have great benefits. The combat effectiveness has been greatly improved, so the imperial court will try to win over us all the time."

Cheng Jinzhou clicked his tongue twice and said: "150,000 hectares of land, 2.25 million acres, the land price in the capital must be at least 10 taels of silver per mu."

Xiaokang continued to shake his head and said: "There are both dry land and water land, but mainly fertile land. The total value of 150,000 hectares is 100 billion."

Cheng Jinzhou's eyes opened wider than crystal lenses, and he coughed: "50 million taels of silver?"

"Roughly the same."

Official data are often expressed in terms of money. 100 billion yuan is 100 million yuan. Every tael of silver can be exchanged for almost 2 yuan. In addition to the aristocratic world and big businessmen, ordinary families also use money to make units.

Considering that Shi Yan only earns 2 taels of silver per month, we can deduce that the amount of 50 million taels of silver is huge. Although it is not comparable to the tax revenue of the court, it is only part of the Star Warlock's personal property after all. Cheng Jinzhou was finally able to understand the meaning of wealth that rivals the country.

Even if we compare it with food prices, 50 million taels of silver is equivalent to 1.5 billion U.S. dollars. The fertile farmland near the capital is worth this price. It was just hard for Cheng Jinzhou to accept. He patted his forehead and said, "Let's not talk about it anymore. How many kinds of grains have you studied now? Do you have samples?"

Xiaokang glanced at the master and saw that he was too busy to pay attention here, so he decided by himself: "Then please go this way and I will take you to see it."

Cheng Jinzhou opened the ring excitedly, summoned customer service 010 and moved his lips silently: "Test the condition of their food. If it is suitable, we will buy it."

"2 stars for each item." Customer service 010 will not let go of any small money.

Cheng Jinzhou nodded indifferently. Since becoming a two-star warlock, his views on things have obviously changed.

In the next room, the door and walls are made very thick. The first thing you can see are wooden barrels lined up in two rows.

"These are all the wheat seeds we have."

"Is there anything valuable?" Cheng Jinzhou first lowered his head and said to the ring, then raised his head and pretended to look at it.

He may not be able to recognize Maizi when he is wearing clothes or when he is taking off his clothes. After messing around with a bunch of unknown things for a long time, customer service 010 replied: "There is one kind of fourth-grade real rice and two kinds of third-grade ordinary rice." , and the rest are all fourth-grade regular rice.”

Cheng Jinzhou said with his back to the door: "I thought there were at least second-level or first-level Changmi."

The price of first-grade regular rice is only twice as low as that of fourth-grade real rice, which is not bad.

"Regular rice and real rice are types of grain, which are mainly limited by the topography and the differences in trace element content in different places. The grade is defined by the planting level and post-harvest processing methods." Customer service 010 explained freely.

Cheng Jinzhou nodded pretentiously and followed his instructions to find the wooden barrel containing real rice. While opening the lid and looking at it, he asked the star warlock apprentice: "What is this? How is the yield?"

"This is a wild grain found in the southwest. After the locals ate this grain, they became strong. It is said that long-term consumption has the effect of prolonging life. It was given to the emperor by the prince of Nanling County, and the emperor gave some to warlock Liu Kuangxing. , Warlock Liu Kuangxing felt that it seemed to have some effect, so he gave it to Sir for further research."

There is a Nanling County Prince everywhere who eats high-quality food. No wonder he won the survival competition. Cheng Jinzhou curled his lips and said: "What was the result?"

"It has just started three years ago, and it is still in the suitable planting stage. We have done some statistics, and there should be some here.... The yield per mu is lower than ordinary wheat, but it has to be planted in paddy fields..." Xiaokang said Then, the professional description belonging to the Star Warlock began. Many units were not understood by Cheng Jinzhou.

Xiao Cheng listened for now, then turned to customer service 010 and said: "I grow real rice, which must be of great benefit to you, but you should also give me more information, so that it is mutually beneficial. "

"Your Star Alliance level is only level 3..."

"Hey." Cheng Jinzhou couldn't help but said: "You can't cling to the rules and not let go. You have to think about it, this is beneficial to everyone, and you have to use a development perspective..."

After all, he was someone who had listened to the news broadcast. Cheng Jinzhou took the trouble to talk, perhaps because there had been few transactions recently. After a while, customer service 010 replied: "According to the Star Alliance regulations, there are exceptions..."

"Oh, tell me."

Customer Service 010 said quickly: "If you promise to provide a certain amount of materials to the Star Alliance within a period of time, and these materials can meet the requirements of the Star Alliance within a certain range, then the Star Alliance is obliged to provide them to you. Materials and materials naturally also include knowledge.”

"Just give me what I want?" Cheng Jinzhou simplified.

"That's right." Customer Service 010 said in a very talkative manner.

"Then give me all the information needed to grow real rice, including all the information for subsequent processing, which must comply with the technology of this era, is that okay?" Cheng Jinzhou didn't think Mr. Cao Feng could have much food for him now. Transactions with the Star Alliance are all calculated in tons, and the best land for planting rice, under the current agricultural level, is about 500 to 600 kilograms per acre. Large-scale planting obviously cannot be called trial planting. .

Customer Service 010 was silent for a moment and said: "Based on your Star Alliance level, you can only obtain information randomly. This will help you develop technology in a balanced way and create a unique civilization. But since there are exceptions, you don't need to Randomly, purchase information directly..."

In the whole sentence, purchasing is the key point. Cheng Jinzhou thought so and asked directly: "How much."

"600,000 words. 1,200 stars." Customer Service 010 finished speaking and added: "Since you have no practical experience, I suggest you purchase video and picture materials."

"Price?" Cheng Jinzhou knew it wouldn't be cheap.

"As you can easily understand, the video data is converted into bytes and is charged for a total of about 75,000 words. 150,000 stars."

"That's impossible. How did you calculate it?" Cheng Jinzhou's shoulders trembled. This is 15,000 tons of grain and 300,000 dan, enough to feed everyone in Xia Jing for a day.

Customer Service 010 said calmly as always: "Our video efficiency is much higher than what you know, but according to your understanding, it can be regarded as 600M data. If you don't need it, you can choose text data, but there are exceptions. , can only be used once."

“Real rice has the effect of prolonging life?”

"The effect is relatively weak."

"How weak?"

"Long-term use can increase the normal lifespan by about 10%."

That's not weak at all. Cheng Jinzhou thought: "What about other aspects?"

"It can slightly improve the body's quality."

"10%?"

"15%"

"Understood, I'll save the money and buy it with you." Cheng Jinzhou may not care about 10% life span at the moment, but he does care about improving the quality of his body. In his opinion, at least it will improve his ability to withstand the star formation. That's all. , even if you don’t exchange it with customer service 010, you can still sell it locally at a good price.

The only trouble is the price.

150,000 star yuan can be understood as 15,000 tons of grain, and it can also be understood as 75,000 pieces of linen. If you exchange it for silver, the latter will be cheaper by more than half, but it still costs 15,000 taels of silver. Even if Warlock Liu Kuangxing can own 50 million taels of land, for any noble in Xia Jing, 15,000 taels is a big deal. number.

While he was still thinking about it, the star warlock apprentice behind him called softly: "Mr. Cheng?"

"Oh?" Cheng Jinzhou seemed to have come to his senses, patted his head and said with a smile, "I have a question."

Xiaokang had seen many strange star warlocks. He smiled and handed him the information and said: "These are our planting information. In addition, the master said that after you have seen it, I will treat you to tea."

"Then let's go out." Cheng Jinzhou took the information. He also wanted to know about Cao Feng's research on real rice. "
