Because the people on the continent didn't pay much attention to agricultural production, every year there would be places where crops would be cut off due to insect infestations. There were also places where people would starve to death. This left a deep impression on Green.
But Green also recognized that the natural conditions of the Ark Continent were really good. They had a high yield of white rice trees. These trees were similar to bamboo and could grow up to ten Mego. Moreover, they could produce rice twice a year. Because of this, most people on the continent wouldn't starve to death.
The rice produced by these rice trees was what the slaves ate the most. Moreover, these trees didn't have high requirements for the soil. There were a lot of places on the continent where they were planted. Because of this, it wasn't easy to have a shortage of food on the continent.
However, Green didn't buy the seeds of these rice trees. This was because he was very clear that although the requirements for the soil for rice trees weren't high, it was impossible to grow rice trees in Iron Mountain. This was because rice trees had a very important shortcoming, which was that they were very sensitive to metals.
Someone once did an experiment. They put a piece of iron weighing about a hundred catties into a ten mu rice field. In less than ten days, all the rice trees in the ten mu field died.
It was precisely because of this characteristic of this tree that Green didn't buy its seeds. The place they were going to was the Dwarf Iron Mountain. Although the iron ore in the mountain had been taken away, the iron content in the soil was still much higher than other places. Wanting to grow rice trees in this place was simply a pipe dream.
Therefore, Green chose the oil fruit tree as his main planting target. The oil fruit tree had very low requirements for soil quality and could be used for many years. It was also suitable to be planted in mountainous areas. These were the answers he obtained after interrogating some experienced farmers. Therefore, he chose the oil fruit tree.
But just like the rice trees, the oil fruit trees had a very fatal shortcoming, which was that they were susceptible to insect infestations.
Compared to the rice trees, the oil fruit trees were much more susceptible to insect infestations. On average, there would be an insect infestation on the rice trees every five years. On the other hand, the oil fruit trees would be affected by insect infestations almost every year. Fortunately, they were easy to grow and could be grown anywhere. Therefore, the production had been able to keep up.
However, this shortcoming was fatal to the Buda Clan. They needed to plant a large amount of oil trees in order to make them a major source of income for the Buda Clan. But if the oil trees were plagued by insects, then they would be finished.
Previously, Green had been having a headache over this matter. Now that he heard Zhao Hai say that there was a special insecticide, Green's heart was finally relieved.
Looking at Green's happy face, Zhao smiled. "But I don't agree with the use of these two things. These two things are poisonous. If you use them on crops, the crops will also carry traces of toxins. Although the toxins won't have a big impact on the human body, if you eat them over the years, a lot of toxins will accumulate in the human body, which will have an impact on the human health." Zhao smiled. "But I don't agree with using these two things.
Green stared blankly, then frowned and said, "This is a problem. It seems that we can't use this for our own food in the future."
When Green's words came out, Zhao Hai couldn't help but have black lines appear on his forehead. He didn't think that a serious person like Green would have a black bellied side.
But what Zhao Hai didn't expect was that Merine and the others actually nodded in agreement. It seems like they thought that Green's words were very reasonable.
In fact, what Zhao Hai didn't know was that ever since Merine and the others were driven here, they had a bit of a vengeful mentality. In their view, everyone had betrayed them. They were the culprits that caused the Buda Clan to fall to this point. It was precisely because of this that Merine agreed with Green's words.
Zhao Hai shook his head, no longer thinking about this. He turned to Green and said, "Grandpa Green, let's go inside the room and look at the screen. We'll see how many undead there are outside. Then we'll find a way to catch them."
Green nodded, and the group went inside the room. To be honest, Green also felt that the screen was very convenient. They could sit inside the space and see what was going on outside. The only drawback was that the range was too small.
After the group entered the room, Zhao Hai looked at the screen again. The number of green dots didn't seem to have increased, there were still more than ten. Zhao Hai looked at the living room again. What he didn't expect was that there was another green dot there.
Zhao Hai was puzzled and pointed at the living room. A mouse skeleton appeared in the living room. Zhao Hai looked at the mouse skeleton and couldn't help but stare. Then he couldn't help but look at the 3D image that had shrunk. Sure enough, the green dot upstairs had disappeared. It seems like the mouse skeleton upstairs had run into the living room.
Zhao Hai was puzzled. Was the living room so good and attractive? He remembered that the living room had the highest frequency of magic beasts and undead.
Green also looked at the mouse skeleton on the screen and said, "It seems like this thing smelled a human. It's strange to say that these undead are very sensitive to fresh flesh. It's really surprising."
After listening to Green, Zhao Hai immediately understood. It must be that when they were catching the undead, the spatial crack had leaked the human scent. This made the mouse skeleton feel it, so it ran into the living room.
After thinking about this point, Zhao Hai was happy. This was because he thought of a way to catch those skeletons. Using the jargon of the game back on Earth, it should be called attracting monsters.
Zhao Hai didn't like to play games back on Earth. However, he still had some understanding of games, and this understanding all came from online gaming novels.
He had to admit that online novels were really all-inclusive. Zhao Hai didn't like football, but he was very clear about football stars. He played a little basketball, but he was only a fake football fan. But regarding basketball, he was very clear about it. All of this was thanks to online novels.
Zhao Hai turned to Green and said, "Grandpa Green, can we use this method to catch undead? The living room isn't very big, so it's impossible for too many undead to come in at once. If we catch this one, maybe we can attract another one. If we can't, then we can send someone out. This way, we can attract more undead. This way, we don't have to go too far and can catch more undead in the castle. Moreover, we don't have to worry about attracting magic beasts. "
Zhao Hai knew that the undead were very sensitive to living people, but magic beasts weren't. He didn't want to attract too many magic beasts. If those magic beasts were attracted to the castle and didn't leave, then he wouldn't be able to go out.
Green thought for a moment and said, "That's a good idea. Like this, we can sit here and slowly catch the undead. Right, Young Master, do you think that the magic beasts and the undead attacked because the undead sensed our presence?"
Zhao Hai stared, then his complexion changed. Of course, he couldn't judge whether this was the reason or not. However, this was what he was most worried about. If the undead felt their presence and ran out, then the castle would be even more unsafe.
Merine shook her head and said, "I don't think it's because of this. Don't forget, the time we've been here isn't short. The Young Master was unconscious for more than a month. Haven't we been here all this time? If the undead ran out because of us, then they should've come out a long time ago. They wouldn't have waited this long. Moreover, the first ones to run out were the magic beasts, not the undead. "
When Green and Zhao Hai heard Merine, they couldn't help but feel relieved. However, Green frowned and said, "That's strange. I remember hearing people say that the magic beasts in the Black Waste would only erupt once every ten or twenty years. The last time they erupted was three or four years ago. How could they erupt again in such a short time? If the frequency of their eruption is so fast, then we'll be in trouble. "
Merine smiled and said, "Forget it. Can the news you heard outside be accurate? Do you know how many years it has been since someone came to the Black Waste? How could they really understand the situation of the Black Waste? "
Green patted his head and nodded, "Ah, how could I forget about this. There's nothing in the Black Waste that could attract people. Naturally, no one would come here. It seems like I was thinking too much. Forget it, let's take it slow. In any case, we have the Young Master's Space. If we really can't do it, then we can just hide inside the Space."
It had to be said that Green's current state of mind was much better than before. In the past, Green had a kind of mentality of despair. That kind of feeling of losing hope in life and making a final struggle made him very serious. He hated that he couldn't do everything to the best of his ability. This made him feel a lot of pressure.
But since he knew about Zhao Hai's Space, Green's mentality had completely changed. He relaxed because he believed that as long as Zhao Hai's Space existed, the Buda clan would be able to continue. Even if it couldn't be restored to its original glory, the continuation of the Buda clan wouldn't be a problem. It could be said that he had put down the heaviest stone in his heart.
When Zhao Hai heard Green, he couldn't help but faintly smile and said, "This is a good idea. But Grandpa Green, the Space can still be upgraded. As long as we transfer some strange plants from the continent to the Space and get its approval, the Space can continue to expand and give us more help."
Green stared, then his eyes shined as he said, "Really? Young Master, is this true? The Space can really become bigger? "
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Of course it's true. In fact, the Space has already been upgraded twice. It also became four acres bigger. Grandma Merine knows this. When the Space was upgraded the second time, we were all inside the Space."
