The Legend of the Great Wilderness

Chapter 222 "Steam Black Technology"

No matter how fast the growth rate of ivy and cassava is, is it faster than [Qingshi Ling]'s current population consumption rate that is still skyrocketing?

But no one thought that the output of Ivy Cassava would be so abnormal!
If the ivy cassava that has been planted is not dug out quickly, it may continue to consume the fertility of the land and eventually cause an ecological disaster.

It was the first time that Guyi discovered that too much food would cause disaster!

Regardless of thinking too much, Gu Yi quickly issued an order to mobilize all manpower to excavate with all his strength!
The news quickly spread back to [Qingshi City], and immediately the workers and workers were detonated as if a nuclear bomb had been set off. No matter what occupation they were or what work they were doing, they all dropped them on the spot, frantically leaving The city surged out, and the tide rushed to the fields. Not enough tools?Dig by hand!
At the same time, Guyi ordered [Qingshi Ling] to immediately implement martial law and military control. It is strictly forbidden for outsiders who enter and leave [Qingshi Ling] to take a piece of ivy cassava, and it is absolutely not allowed to flow out. Pandora's box, released a devil-like horror!
Although it is difficult to prevent this kind of thing, and it may even flow into [Zhongyou] from other channels, but Guyi does not want it to flow out from his own hands, and now he can only keep it as secret as possible.

Fortunately, [Qingshi collar] is completely under the dictatorship of Gu Yi. As long as the workers and workers under the control are strictly prohibited from leaving [Qingshi collar], it should be able to prevent the news from leaking out in a short time.

Moreover, the "border" of Guyi in [Qingshi Ling], that is, the traffic throat area surrounded by the three big rivers [潏水], [泔水], and [怜水], has built [Tenbing City] for garrison.

Most of the outsiders are concentrated in the only external gateway [Guan's Commercial Central City] in [Qingshi Ling], which is very far away from the hinterland of [Qingshi Ling]. As long as the defense of [Guan's Commercial Central City] is strengthened, outsiders are strictly prohibited Entry can also play a certain role in confidentiality.

Under Guyi's crazy series of orders, the entire [Qingshi collar] boiled up, and the whole people mobilized to deal with the disaster caused by Guyi's improper decision-making this time.

Of course, except for Gu Yi and a small number of people in the core, the workers below did not know this terrible news, and they were all immersed in the joy of the harvest.

In order to deal with this catastrophic incident, Guyi urgently summoned his staff, while notifying Gu Ning to continue to increase the progress of population recruitment and food import quota, and at the same time summoned all the [Famous Craftsmen] of [Tiangongmen] , Assault research on cassava processing equipment.

At the same time, a series of orders were issued:
[-]. Seal up all grains, and immediately all personnel in [Qingshi Ling] will use cassava as their main food.

[-]. Build large-scale "cassava flour processing plant", "cassava starch processing plant" and "cassava vermicelli processing plant".

[-]. Stop using grain to make wine, instead use cassava to make wine, and expand the winery to produce high alcohol on a large scale.

[-]. The [Ministry of Iron Works] began research on steam locomotives fueled by alcohol.

Fives,……

In order to promote the consumption of cassava, Guyi had to rack his brains to come up with various derivative industries. After experiments, Guyi found that one ton of cassava can produce [-] kilograms of cassava starch, and one ton of cassava can produce [-] kilograms cassava flour.

In order to make this food not monotonous and not to make people get bored quickly, Gu Yi almost made all the food he could think of, compiled a "Cassava Recipe" and sent it to the workers' canteen.

First of all, cassava can be eaten directly, raw food or cooked food. It can be used as the cheapest food, and it is widely popular among citizens, and the existing grains such as millet are hoarded for future use.

Secondly, cassava flour can be used to make cassava steamed buns, cassava flatbread, cassava noodles, cassava vermicelli... steamed, boiled, fried, fried, eaten as jelly, eaten as paste, eaten with noodle lumps, cut Slices are dried and deep-fried to be eaten as potato chips, ground into paste and made into sweet soup to eat...

Guyi remembers crops with high starch content. After the starch is processed, the remaining dregs can be used to make sugar and wine. , but this requires further research.

In order to prevent the outflow and flooding of ivy and cassava, Guyi planned a very large agricultural area between the three cities of [Qingshi City], [Qingwa City] and [Shachang City]. , and supporting processing plants are all planned in, and it is nicknamed [Agricultural City], but it is actually a super-large farm.

Guyi even plans to enclose the [Agricultural City] with a city wall and adopt closed planting and management, except for the artisans of the [Agricultural Yard] to enter, and outside trespassers will be killed.

The reason why Ivy cassava is planted in the place closest to the densely populated area is that the three cities can provide [Agricultural City] with a large amount of biogas fertilizer, and the farm's own livestock can also provide a large amount of livestock manure. It is sufficient to meet the demand for land fertility of ivy cassava within the scale of the planting plan, and will not damage the land too much and delay the consumption of land fertility.

Secondly, [Qingshi Ling] will definitely develop in the future, and the urban area will also expand accordingly. Even if the land near the city is exhausted, it can still be used to expand the urban area, neither is it a waste of cultivated land, nor does it need to feel sorry for the ivy Cassava is a disaster to the land, which serves multiple purposes.

After Guyi's hard work, the scale of green vine cassava was finally controlled within a safe range, but it still needs a long period of governance and continuous dispatch of people to collect it to kill it, so as to completely prevent the green vines that have been planted in the wild. Vine cassava floods.

Only artificial planting is allowed, and wild reproduction is not allowed. This can be regarded as Gu Yi's remedy for his wrong decision. It made him realize that it is not so easy to be a leader. Only after detailed planning and careful thinking can we truly ensure the relative correctness of any decision.

This incident can be regarded as a lesson for Gu Yi, and it gave him a lot of experience as a superior.

But in general, this "high-yield disaster" is not a completely bad thing.

At least, in just one month, the food problem of [Qingshi Ling] for a long time has been solved, and it can open up to recruit the slave population without worrying about food restrictions.

In addition, the high yield of cassava has also stimulated the development of the [Qingshiling] processing industry. Various processing equipment concepts proposed by Gu Yi in a hurry, such as "hydraulic tank type rolling cassava cleaning machine / desanding machine, large steam crushing machine, etc. machine/mill/beater, large thermal cycle mill/cutter/dehydrator/dryer, etc., all of which have produced steam power, A hydro-powered version of the Wilderness native model.

Although these machines manufactured on the basis of "Steam Black Technology" have maintained the consistent style of [Qingshi Ling] and Guyi, who are stupid, black, bold, and quick to work, but it must be said that the native craftsmen of the Great Wilderness, Driven by Gu Yi, a new technical field has gradually opened up.

At present, the "Steam Black Technology" created by Guyi is still in the very primitive copycat and imitation stage, but the Dahuang craftsmen have gradually derived original technology with their exquisite craftsmanship and innate understanding of machinery. Many technical details that Gu Yi could not have imagined were completed and solved by famous craftsmen with their self-understanding of "Steam Black Technology", supplemented by the unique craftsmanship of the Great Wilderness Craftsman Clan.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Guyi, who only understands the general principle and some design concepts, but has no hands-on ability, to reproduce these things in the wilderness.

Guyi's insane multi-threaded development carried out simultaneously in a short period of time. Although the people under him were almost exhausted, it must be said that [Qingshi Ling] showed an extremely high speed under this overloaded high-speed operation. Majestic vitality.

[Qingshi Collar], which is not too large in size, has far exceeded any city in the world of Great Wilderness, whether it is the high density of population or the huge transportation volume in terms of logistics.

Not only the tide of slaves in [Rongshi City] was swallowed without difficulty, even the tide of slaves in [Qingshan Mansion] who were expelled from the camps and fences began to take the initiative to submit to [Qingshi Ling] moved.

Under the continuous population migration, the rapidly increasing population does not appear idle in [Qingshi Collar], and the labor force needed here seems to never be enough. No matter how many people come, [Qingshi Collar] is like a terrible cannibal Like a monster, he opened his mouth wide open and swallowed batch after batch, without even hiccupping.

It seems that everyone is desperately busy, there is always endless work to do, often before a task is completed, there are dozens of additional tasks piled up behind it.

Women are used as men, men are used as animals, and animals are used as machines. The lord, Gu Yi, seems to intend to use people to death, but for the workers from [Li Min], this kind of fatigue and busyness is the most important thing. the happiest thing.

What they are most afraid of is not hard work, but having no work to do, which means that they have no food to eat. High-intensity and overloaded work and a large number of additional tasks have given them a great sense of security, fulfillment, and satisfaction. and happiness.

What's more, in [Qingshi Ling], not only can you eat three meals a day, but the lord even gives these lowly slaves meat and salty food. This should be placed in other places, but the nobles can enjoy it received treatment.

[Qingshi City] They have never heard of the various delicacies, let alone eaten them. They even dare to swear that even the nobles have never eaten such delicious food in their life. delicacies.
