Alien signal? It seems to be from me.

Chapter 58 Planting Records
"No, it's just that you are saved."

The little robot spoke in a cold tone.

He doesn't need to eat, and he's not hungry.

The energy contained in the energy crystal can even power a spacecraft for space travel, let alone a small robot like him.

"彳庍口巴."

Zhou Zheng curled his lips, feeling that his own little robot was becoming increasingly difficult to fool.

"Leonardo, learn not to be a killjoy."

"Sorry, I'm not even human."

Da Vinci tilted his head and didn't listen to Zhou Zheng's dog barking pua at all.

What happens next is simple.

Although I have sent my planting records to Earth before, that version can obviously be updated in more detail.

Because at that time, Zhou Zheng had to find all the potatoes by himself, one by one, and then dig them up by himself after finding them.

As a result, there were very few samples at the time, and we could only try a few potatoes.

But things are different now! Our family conditions have improved!
Zhou Zheng glanced at the little monkey who had obviously gained weight in the past two days, his eyes full of affirmation.

Since I got this little gadget, the potato reserves at home are enough for me to record more data.

But before that, there is one thing that needs to be resolved.

stool.

Fertilizers have been used by humans since ancient times and are very important even today.

usually.

Manure is rich in various trace elements such as nitrogen, phosphorus, calcium and potassium, which can provide sufficient nutrients for crops so that they can thrive.

This theory also applies to aliens.

Fortunately, it is very easy to obtain this thing here.

He also doesn't need to accumulate fertilizer like his predecessors on Mars and the Moon.

Take your pockets with you and run for a walk in the forest with the little robot. When you come back, your pockets will be full.

Afterwards, he took Da Vinci to the open space and worked hard to open an experimental field specifically for growing potatoes.

Zhou Zheng looked at the bag full of "goods" with disdain, frowning from the odor.

I can only say that even if it is an alien planet, there is really not much difference between this thing and the Earth, it smells just as bad.

Now that the fertilizer has been obtained, the next step is to apply it.

"Be sure to record the entire process clearly!"

Before the planting experiment began, Zhou Zheng gave Da Vinci many instructions.

If possible, he really doesn't want to go through this again.

"Ouke Ouke, you can trust me to do the job."

The little robot gave a thumbs up and patted its chest, making a metallic sound.

He had already mastered a lot of knowledge about farming.

With the accumulation of knowledge from theory to practice over the years, Zhou Zheng would not starve to death even if he became a professional farmer.

But I don’t know what’s wrong with this alien potato, and I haven’t been successful so far.

Fortunately, now we have the help of the Earth, and we only need to provide them with as detailed test data as possible.

Divide the experimental field in front of you into two parts.

On one side, potatoes cut into cubes were planted, while on the other side, the alien potatoes were directly buried in the soil.

Then lightly cover with soil, just enough to make sure the potatoes are buried deep in the soil.

Next, it’s time to prepare the fertilizer.

There is a trick to this.

You can't just cover everything on it, but you have to compost it first.

First, Da Vinci brought over an iron can. He poured the feces into it, added water and stirred it, then added some soil and sealed the lid.

Finally, comes the really important part of composting.

That is, high-temperature compost fermentation.

This step mainly uses the high temperature generated by the natural fermentation of feces to kill insect eggs and grass seeds in the feces.

At the same time, the feces are broken down by bacteria, so that they can be used as fertilizer after treatment.

After all, they are all animal feces, and no one can say what these guys have eaten before, so the composting step is very critical and important.

Grass seeds will rob nutrients from fertilizers, not to mention the damage caused by insect eggs to crops.

This approach has two benefits.

First, the fertility is fully utilized, which is more conducive to plant absorption and growth.

Secondly, grass seeds and insect eggs cannot withstand the high temperature during the fermentation process. If they all die, there will be no pest parasites or weeds competing with potatoes for nutrients when fertilizing.

As a major agricultural country, it is even one of the earliest birthplaces of farming culture in human history.

Dongxia’s obsession with farming has been mentioned before.

So after Zhou Zheng settled down in the dream world, the first thing he did was to open up wasteland and cultivate the land.

I always feel uneasy when there are no crops in the fields.

Even though I failed in the end, there was nothing I could do about it.

Just like the first thing that comes to mind for Americans is hunting, this is a subconscious influence brought by culture.

Of course, I don’t know what the prey is.

The composting process is painful.

At least Zhou Zheng is really suffering.

In response, Da Vinci just mechanically repeated the stirring action with a puzzled expression, completely unable to understand why Zhou Zheng's expression was so twisted with pain.

Seeing Zhou Zheng running to the side to get some fresh air as if he were escaping for his life, breathing in deep gulps of fresh air, the little robot simply tilted its head curiously and continued with its finishing work.

Generally speaking, the composting process takes several days or even half a month.

When the fertilizer matures, becomes dark brown in color, and shrinks in size by about one-third, it can be covered on these alien potatoes.

But Zhou Zheng didn't have enough time, so the final composting only lasted three days.

"Of course, it's not because I'm lazy."

"Because even if the compost matures, the end result won't change."

After explaining to the camera, Zhou Zheng continued with his work.

He had tried this kind of thing countless times in the previous cycles, and now he just recorded it completely and sent it to Earth for reference.

Let the fellow villagers over there take a look and find out the reason for my failure.

The three days passed as promised.

Zhou Zheng looked at the experimental field from afar, but in the end he didn't muster up the courage.

He stood far away and motioned the little robot to go and handle it by itself.

The little robot had no objection to this, and went to the sealed jar stubbornly.

As Leonardo da Vinci lifted the sealed iron can, he seemed to see the seal being opened and a demon running out with wild laughter.

Although he was standing far enough away and in a position with the wind, Zhou Zheng still felt dizzy and held his breath when he saw Da Vinci's actions.

On the contrary, the little robot, because it has no sense of smell, looked indifferent from beginning to end.

After opening the can, I took the fertilizer back to the experimental field and carefully covered the potatoes with the fertilizer.

When the fertilization was finally over, the demon was sealed back into the cage.

Zhou Zheng looked at the little robot in front of him that seemed to be asking for credit, and involuntarily took a half step back.

There is no other way. After working for half a day, Da Vinci’s iron sheet is almost marinated.
