There's a black hole inside me

Planet Girubi.

A living planet with a diameter of 150,000 kilometers, a surface area of ​​more than 7 trillion square kilometers, and a surface gravity index of 1.05G.

A relatively habitable planet with a rotation period of 65 days and an average temperature of 15 degrees.

Except for the ice caps at the North and South Poles.

Large areas of water-deficient deserts and snowy plateaus are basically restricted areas for life.

The area suitable for intelligent life only accounts for 35% of the total area, or 2.45 trillion square kilometers - which is still a considerable number.

And within such a huge scope, there are multiple civilizations, tens of millions of empires or kingdoms, and countless lords and forces.

After discussing with the experts.

Wei Ming planned to place his foothold on the planet Jirubi.

One, this planet is very big and has great development space and potential.

Secondly, it is relatively close to the center of the galaxy, where development in various fields is relatively prosperous, and it is a good springboard to the Julius Soma world stage.

In addition, there are few large-scale forces on the Jirubi planet, and there are many small-scale forces. There is no overlord-level powerful force for the time being. It is a state of competition among the powerful forces, vertical and horizontal, and maintaining a dynamic balance for many years, which is a relatively balanced state.

In such an environment, it is very suitable to fish in troubled waters and grow from it.

The Principality of Yalin is a small and weak kingdom covering an area of ​​one million square kilometers, with a population of about five million and a regular army of less than 50,000. It is often pushed to the ground and rubbed by the powerful neighboring countries around it.

To the west of the principality, there is a desolate Gobi zone covering an area of ​​more than one billion square kilometers, with little rainfall, flat terrain, but almost no grass growing, and of very low value.

Not very suitable for human survival.

It is called "Liyuan Gobi".

Wei Ming took a fancy to this land.

Immediately sent representative Wei Qi, learned the local language, carried a large sum of money, and visited Duke Yalin, hoping to buy the desert as a foothold.

…

Principality of Yalin, City of Danros.

Wei Qi, who came to visit as a passing wealthy businessman, sent a generous gift and was received by Duke Ediga, who told him the purpose of his visit.

"You want to buy the Liyuan Gobi in the west and carve out a piece of land for your tribe to survive and reproduce?"

Duke Ediga, who looked like a middle-aged man in his forties, looked at Wei Qi below and said: "The Gobi lacks water and cannot grow food to feed the population. Why not buy land that can grow food?"

"If the Duke agrees to sell the habitable land, we are willing to buy the permanent property rights of 100,000 acres of land at a price of one gold coin per acre (about 1,000 square meters) for the survival of more than 10,000 tribesmen. I wonder if the Duke agrees?"

Wei Qi asked, holding up his hands.

One gold coin per acre of cultivated land was purchased at a premium of at least ten times based on the price level of Planet Girubi.

However, permanent property rights mean that the lord cannot collect taxes or establish rule in the future, which is equivalent to a private independent territory that cannot be invaded at all.

Normally, the freehold of the land would be sold without that lord, unless the land was ceded due to defeat or other reasons.

"One hundred thousand acres, one hundred thousand gold coins?"

Duke Ediga's eyes lit up and his heart beat loudly.

The Principality of Yalin is located in a remote area, with a small population and a poor country. Even the Duke, the highest lord, only earns more than 10,000 gold coins per year. In addition, he has to support the Duke and maintain a sizable army. He often cannot make ends meet. If things go badly and the agricultural harvest decreases and life becomes difficult to live on, you may have to borrow money from loan sharks and bear a heavy burden. If you want to pay off the debt later, you will have to grit your teeth and live frugally for several years.

It is also possible that some territory will have to be sold off if it encounters a serious debt default.

Today, the Principality of Yalin has tens of thousands of debts left to pay off, and only two thousand gold coins left in the treasury, making life very difficult.

And 100,000 acres of cultivated land is only 100 tapas (square kilometers), which is only one ten thousandth of the area of ​​Yalin Principality.

But it can be exchanged for ten years of financial income.

Immediately exchange for three to five years of good life.

This deal is a very good deal.

Thinking of this, Duke Ediga nodded and said: "Yes, I agree to this deal and sell you 100,000 acres of cultivated land!"

"Thank you, Your Excellency, Duke~"

Wei was quite surprised at first, then rolled his eyes and said: "I wonder if the land we purchased can be located next to the Liyuan Gobi. In addition, we will pay another 200,000 gold coins to buy 10 million acres of land in the Liyuan Gobi. We plan to invest in transforming these barren lands into food-producing lands.”

"You even want the desert?"

Duke Ediga said in surprise: "With 200,000 gold coins, not to mention 10 million acres, you can reclaim as much land as you want in the Liyuan Gobi. I will not object or stop it."

"Okay, it's settled, thank you, Your Majesty the Duke!"

Wei Qi was also very happy. He didn't expect the meeting to go so smoothly. Duke Ediga was very good at speaking, which was beyond his expectation.

That same day!

A land purchase contract was signed and the area was delineated on the map.

Wei Qi also took out a total of 300,000 gold coins from the space bracelet and poured them in front of Duke Ediga.

It piled up into a golden hill.

Duke Ediga's eyes were full of gold. He squatted on the ground tremblingly, grabbed a handful of gold coins, and muttered like a money addict:

"Three hundred thousand gold coins. I have never seen so many gold coins in my life."

"And judging from the fineness, this is pure gold. One piece is worth at least as much as two pieces of five pure gold, and can be spent as at least half a million gold coins."

"Not only can I pay off my debt immediately, but I can also repair my Duke's castle, build a beautiful palace, and raise a powerful army."

"That merchant organization called the 'Black Chamber of Commerce' is really too rich. They are far richer than me, and they are very generous. They are willing to pay 200,000 gold coins for worthless land. Their property may be far away. Much more than 300,000, maybe a million, or even more.”

"We must make friends with them, build deep friendships, and do more business."

As for why he didn't come up with the idea of ​​​​killing people, selling goods, and plundering property, the business representative named Wei Qi was just an ordinary person with no magic fluctuations in his body.

But he was wearing a space item of inestimable value. It was the first time for Duke Ediga to see such a magical thing.

In fact, the greedy thought of killing people and taking wealth has not never occurred in his mind, but it only lasted for a second or two, and was immediately suppressed.

In this world, due to the development of commerce, the power of chambers of commerce and the energy of merchants are stronger than many kingdoms.

There are even many kingdoms that have existed for more than a thousand years. They have not perished in the hundreds of years of border friction with neighboring countries. However, because they offended a certain chamber of commerce and committed murder and wealth, they soon suffered a fatal blow. The royal family All the members were killed in one fell swoop, the royal capital was destroyed, and the Thousand-Year Kingdom collapsed.

Similar examples abound.

Duke Ediga is considered a smarter type of person. He is greedy, but he can restrain himself and stay rational, so he does not dare to have bold ideas.

After all, those who can spend 300,000 gold coins at once must have the power to defend the interests of 300,000 gold coins. They must not be blinded by force and do things that seek death.

…

The deal was done.

A few days later, the "Science Discovery" landed in the west of a town called "Doda". Most of the people on the spacecraft got off the ship and stepped on solid land.

Duda Town is now regarded as Wei Ming's territory.

In the Liyuan Gobi to the west, he could open up as much as he wanted, without restrictions.

"Boss~"

Wei Qi on the side said: "This town of Duda is now ours. There were about 300 residents in the town before. I asked them to move out of the town and find a new home at the price of 10 gold coins per person. , more than 200 people have moved, but there are also more than 100 people who are unwilling to move and don’t want to pay more. What do you think we should do?”

"You can stay if you want. I won't live in this town. These natives won't have much impact."

Wei Ming said: "Let the robots be released immediately, and try to build a city for us to live in within three to five days. By the way, we can level these stone floors."

"Yes, release the robot!"

Give an order.

Ten operators lined up, simultaneously opened the infinite time and space gems in their hands, and released engineering robots one after another.

The robot ran out of thin air.

All are engineering robots with a height of more than five meters and a weight of more than ten tons.

Like ten assembly lines.

In a short time, more than 100,000 units were released, and there was no intention of stopping, and the number was still increasing.

More than one million units.

The release was not terminated until 10 million units.

The indigenous people in Doda town were shocked.

He was trembling all over as he looked at everything in front of him, watching the engineering robots smashing boulders, leveling mountains, and rapidly changing the entire earth.

"Oh my god, these are noble gods! They are the real gods!"

An old indigenous man suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately, his eyes full of fanaticism.

"Fellow citizens, don't be afraid."

Wei Qi walked up to them, first stopped them from kneeling, and then said: "We are a group of businessmen who want to stay here for a while. Since you are unwilling to leave and are willing to become the citizens of Doda Town, then your taxes will be paid in the future." All are exempted and you will be given some job opportunities.”

Full tax exemption?

The natives were all stunned. They asked several times, and they all got the exact answer: the tax was completely exempted. The adults were too lazy to collect their little tax, but wasted precious time.

From now on, whatever they sow will belong to themselves. Anyone who comes to collect taxes must be a liar and can be beaten to death.

"God, this is the true God who is benevolent and kind. He cannot make mistakes. He will never make mistakes. Our good days are coming!"

The indigenous elders knelt on the ground one after another, the enthusiasm in their eyes became more exaggerated, and they were more convinced of their own judgment.

…

Leave those natives aside.

New problems have arisen.

What did Wei Ming want to do by buying so much wasteland and the stone-strewn Gobi Desert? What value did he want to get from it?

To be honest, Wei Ming didn't think it through either.

But the habits ingrained in the genes of his ancestors made him decide to get a piece of land large enough to establish a foothold.

Then it’s time to plant land and vegetables on this piece of land. Plant something first and then don’t let the land lie there.

In other words, the first step is to farm.

But to farm, you need water. In a desert that lacks water, you can't grow any food.

So what should we do about the water shortage problem?

In fact, Wei Ming was full of water.

There are ten infinite time and space gems, which store water equivalent to the volume of ten moon stars. I am too lazy to calculate how many tons it is converted into, but it is a lot anyway.

Even if one ten-thousandth is taken out, it is enough to irrigate billions of acres of land.

The first batch of land that Wei Ming ordered the engineering robots to reclaim was 10 million acres (1,000 square meters per acre), and the water consumption was not much.

In addition, if you feel that water resources are not enough.

There are more than a thousand infinite time and space gems, which store countless hydrogen resources. The product after combustion is water. Burning more hydrogen or combining it with oxygen elements in the soil can also obtain a lot of water... There are many ways to get water.

In short,

there is no need to worry about the problem of water resources.

Even three days later, after the construction of the "Magic Research City" where Wei Ming and scientists lived (the core building is a giant magic research tower one kilometer high), a lake of thousands of square kilometers was dug around the magic city, and it was circled around the city as a military defense.

In order to prevent the lake from becoming a stagnant pool of water, a river hundreds of miles long was dug to allow water to flow to low-lying areas (but 99% of it seeped into the ground).

Just to maintain the existence of this artificial river, hundreds of millions of tons of living water must be injected into the lake every day, which is unimaginably luxurious.

Then it was farming.

In addition to the opening of tens of thousands of acres of fruit and vegetable greenhouses and animal farms next to the Magic Research City, thousands of kinds of fruits and vegetables were provided, and poultry such as pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks, and geese were raised to satisfy the appetite of Wei Ming and scientists.

In addition, in addition to the vegetable greenhouses and farms, the tens of thousands of acres of farmland opened up, the grain crops planted were not drought-resistant wheat, but rice.

Drought-resistant rice still requires a high water requirement.

Of course, there are reasons for planting rice.

One, the rotation period of the planet Girubi is 65 days, with half of the day and half of the night, that is, the day lasts for a month, and the night lasts for a month.

It is a typical long day and long night type environment.

Therefore, if you plant food crops such as wheat with a long growth cycle, you may not be able to wait until the wheat matures during the one-month daylight period, and enter the one-month long night period. You may not be able to survive at all, and you may starve to death due to lack of light.

Unless you find a food crop with a short maturity period, strive to mature the best within the one-month daylight period.

So use genetic engineering.

Agricultural experts have created a special rice variety with extremely high photosynthesis efficiency and extremely short maturity period. Even in an environment with 24-hour day and night (such as Blue Star), it will mature in at most 40 days.

And in an environment with continuous daylight for a month, this rice variety will grow faster, and it is not a foolish dream to mature within a month.

Moreover, Wei Ming grew up eating rice since he was a child. He is used to eating rice and doesn’t like to eat wheat-like foods. It’s okay to eat it occasionally.

So the first crop planted is fast-growing rice.

Soon!

The one-month daylight period is about to pass.

Tens of millions of mu of rice fields have become a golden ocean, with abundant fruits. Due to sufficient sunlight, suitable temperature, adequate water and fertilizer, and no diseases or insect pests, etc., preliminary estimates show that the yield per mu (a large mu of 1,000 square meters) is at least 2,000 jin, or one ton per mu. Ten million mu of rice fields means a super bumper harvest of tens of millions of tons of rice.
