There's a black hole inside me - Chapter 372

c372 Standing on the ground, extremely rich

Girubby Planet.

A life 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 forbidden areas for life.

The area suitable for the survival of intelligent life accounts for only 35% of the total area, that is, 2.45 trillion square kilometers – this is still a considerable number.

And in such a huge range, there are many civilizations, tens of millions of empires or kingdoms, countless lords and forces.

After discussing with experts.

Wei Ming plans to settle on the planet Girubby.

First, this planet is very large, with great development space and potential.

Secondly, it is relatively close to the central area of ​​the galaxy, and the development of various fields is relatively prosperous. It is a good springboard to the world stage of Julius Soma.

In addition, there are fewer large forces on the planet Jilubi, but many small forces. There is no overlord-level powerful force for the time being. It is a state of relatively balanced power with many strong forces competing and forming alliances, and maintaining dynamic balance for many years.

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

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

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

It is not very suitable for human survival.

It is called “Liyuan Gobi”.

Wei Ming took a fancy to this land.

He immediately sent a representative Wei Qi, who learned the local language and brought a large sum of money to visit Duke Yalin, wanting to buy the desert as a foothold.

…

The Principality of Yalin, Danlos City.

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

“Do you want to buy the Liyuan Gobi in the west and open up a piece of land for the tribe to survive and reproduce?”

Duke Idiga, who looked like a 40-year-old middle-aged man, looked at Wei Qi below and said, “The Gobi lacks water and cannot grow food or feed the population. Why not buy land that can grow food?”

“If the Duke agrees to sell 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 with a bow.

One gold coin per acre of cultivated land, at least ten times the price of the price level of the planet Jilubi.

However, if it is permanent property rights, it means that the lord cannot collect taxes or establish rule in the future, which is equivalent to a private independent territory that cannot be violated in the slightest.

Under normal circumstances, no lord would sell the permanent property rights of land, unless the land was ceded due to defeat or other reasons.

“One hundred thousand acres, one hundred thousand gold coins?”

Duke Idiga’s eyes lit up and his heart began to beat.

The Principality of Yalin is located in a remote area, with a small population and a poor country. Even the highest lord, the Duke, has an annual income of only more than 10,000 gold coins. In addition, he has to support the Duke and maintain a considerable army, which often exceeds his income. If the year is bad, the agricultural harvest will decrease, and he will not be able to make ends meet. He may have to borrow money from loan sharks and bear a heavy burden. If he wants to pay off his debts later, he will have to grit his teeth and live frugally for several years.

It is also very likely that he will have to sell some territory in case of serious debt default.

Today, the Principality of Yalin still has tens of thousands of debts that have not been paid off, and there are only two thousand gold coins left in the treasury. Life is very difficult.

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

But it can be exchanged for ten years of fiscal revenue.

Three to five years of good life will come immediately.

This deal is very cost-effective.

Thinking of this, Duke Idiga nodded and said: “Okay, I agree to this deal and sell you 100,000 acres of cultivated land!”

“Thank you, Your Excellency~”

Wei Qi was quite surprised at first, then his eyes turned and he said: “I wonder if the land we purchased can be chosen next to the Liyuan Gobi Desert. In addition, we will pay another 200,000 gold coins to buy 10 million acres of wasteland in the Liyuan Gobi Desert? We plan to invest funds to transform those barren lands into land that can produce food.”

“You even want desert land?”

Duke Idiga said in surprise: “200,000 gold coins, let alone 10 million acres, you can reclaim as much as you want in the Liyuan Gobi Desert, I will not object or stop it.”

“Okay, it’s settled, thank you, Your Excellency!”

Wei Qi was also very happy. He didn’t expect the talks to go so smoothly. This Duke Idiga was very eloquent, which was beyond his expectations.

That day!

The land purchase contract was signed and the area was circled on the map.

Wei Qi also took out 300,000 gold coins from his space bracelet and poured them in front of Duke Idiga.

They piled up into a golden hill.

Duke Idiga’s eyes were full of gold. He squatted on the ground tremblingly, grabbed a handful of gold coins, and muttered like a money-grubber:

“300,000 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, stealing 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.

Over 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, but 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 space-time gems, which store water equivalent to the volume of ten moons and stars. I don’t care to calculate the exact number of tons, but it’s just a lot.

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

The first batch of land that Wei Ming ordered to be reclaimed by engineering robots was 10 million acres (1,000 square meters per acre), which did not consume much water.

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

There are also more than a thousand infinite space-time gems, which store countless hydrogen resources. The product after combustion is water. Burning more hydrogen, or combining it with the oxygen element in the soil, can also obtain a large amount of water… Get water There are so many ways.

all in all,

No need to worry about water issues.

Even three days later, after the construction of the “Magic Research City” where Wei Ming and the scientists lived (the core building is a giant magic research tower with a height of 1,000 meters) was completed, a thousand square kilometers of land was dug around the Magic City. The lake circled the city as a military protection.

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

Just to maintain the existence of this man-made river, hundreds of millions of tons of living water must be injected into the lake every day, which is an unimaginable luxury.

Then comes farming.

In addition to tens of thousands of acres of fruit and vegetable greenhouses and animal breeding farms next to the Magic Research City, thousands of fruits and vegetables are provided, and poultry animals such as pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks, and geese are raised to meet the needs of Wei Ming and the scientists. The desire of the tongue.

In addition, in addition to vegetable greenhouses and breeding farms, the food crops grown on tens of thousands of acres of farmland are not drought-resistant wheat, but rice.

Drought-tolerant rice with still high water requirements.

Of course there are reasons to grow rice.

First, 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 will not be able to wait for the wheat to mature during the one-month day period, and you may not be able to survive the one-month long night period, and you may starve to death due to lack of light.

Unless you find a food crop with a short maturity cycle, try to achieve maximum maturity within a month of daylight.

So use genetic engineering.

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

In a daytime environment that lasts for a month, this rice variety will only grow faster and mature within a month, which is not a fantasy at all.

Furthermore, Wei Ming grew up eating rice and was used to eating rice. He didn’t really like wheat-based foods, so it was okay to eat them occasionally.

So the first crop planted was fast-growing rice.

soon!

The month of daylight is almost over.

Tens of millions of acres of rice fields have become a golden ocean with abundant fruits. Due to sufficient sunlight, suitable temperature, adequate water and fertilizer, there is no occurrence of any diseases and insect pests… and other factors.

Preliminary estimates indicate that the yield per mu (large acres of 1,000 square meters) is at least 2,000 kilograms, that is, one ton per mu.

Ten million acres of rice fields means a huge harvest of tens of millions of tons of rice.
