One Piece: Farming from the Rocks Era

"He should be almost in the Oran Sea by now!"

When Liana heard Lind's question, she thought about it for a moment and then gave the answer.

"Very good, then when he arrives, we will discuss the newspaper matters specifically."

Hearing the good news, Linde finally smiled.

Seeing that the sun had already risen outside the window, Lind said:

"Let's end today's meeting here. It's almost time. Everyone has worked hard. Let's go have lunch first!"

Although there were a lot of topics to discuss at the meeting, Lind did not have the bad habits he had in previous life meetings. He seldom said useless nonsense and the meeting was very efficient.

In addition, there were very few people attending the meeting, which meant that the meeting, which was related to the long-term development plan of a huge force, was completed in just half a day.

Although the discussions are all about overall issues, the efficiency can be said to be terrifyingly high.

This is not only because Lind hates things that require a lot of ceremony, but also because this is a world where strength is respected.

Let Linde know clearly that instead of wasting time talking about all kinds of meaningless things, it is better to seize the time to improve his own strength.

Looking at the cadres in front of him with a hint of fatigue in their eyes, Linde smiled and nodded. After saying goodbye to a few of them, he was the first to walk out of the meeting room.

In the early stages of starting a business, there are indeed a lot of things to deal with, but time waits for no one, so I can only work hard for a while.

Once the entire force is back on track, at least these top-level cadres will be able to relax a lot.

Linde and several other officials had lunch at the Orlando Hotel. It must be said that the chefs at the Orlando Hotel are very skilled indeed.

Lind felt that these dishes were better than anything he had eaten in his previous life. Although this might be related to the fact that Lind had never eaten anything good, it did demonstrate the cooking skills of these chefs.

Speaking of which, Linde had thought about promoting his Lin family cuisine before, but after joining the Rocks Pirates.

Linde felt like he was on an uncontrolled, high-speed train.

It has developed rapidly to what it is today.

You know, Linde originally just planned to find a stable place to farm.

During the past six months, it seemed as if an invisible hand was pushing Linde forward, improving his strength and expanding his influence.

Although Linde has achieved world-shocking achievements in the past six months, it has also been very busy.

Although the idea of ​​Linjiacai was implemented, Linde hardly participated in it except for the initial establishment.

Just like the five chefs that Lind personally trained on Honeycomb Island in the beginning, they had long been forgotten by Lind in some corner.

Chapter 56 Research Team

That afternoon, everything Linde said at the meeting was implemented.

Under Lind's financial offensive, the news that Lind was willing to pay a high price to recruit various types of scientific researchers spread at a crazy speed to the Oran Sea, the New World, the Grand Route and even the four seas.

"The settlement fee is 10 million Baileys!"

"The annual salary starts at 5 million Baileys!"

"The research funding starts at 100 million Baileys!"

These extremely enviable treatments in this world and this era made Linde famous again.

Linde's big move not only shocked the whole world, but also attracted many frustrated scientists and researchers.

There is no need for Linde to rack his brains to develop his network and look for people everywhere.

As long as the money is in place, someone will naturally be willing to find you, and they may even use their connections to contact you.

Less than three days after Linde issued the recruitment notice, countless scientists and researchers contacted Linde in various ways.

Most of them were through the pirates under Lind's command.

At first, Lind mobilized the pirates under his command to use their connections to recruit scientific researchers, but there was no effect. However, after offering them benefits.

Those scientists and researchers contacted the pirates under Lind through various remote relationships and contacted Lind.

Looking at the pirates under his command, Lind was speechless when he saw that there were suddenly so many relatives and friends.

However, although he complained in his heart, Linde still attached great importance to these scientific researchers.

Basically, for every scientist who actively contacts Linde, Linde will directly send cadres to lead a team to pick them up one by one to ensure that they can all arrive at Aland Island safely.

As for the question of whether he has real talent and knowledge, Lind thinks it should not be a big problem.

After all, he is a world-famous pirate. No one should be so desperate as to deceive Lind.

As for some scientists who are already famous and capable, Linde even plans to go out himself to bring them back.

Especially those in biology, chemistry and agronomy.

Linde is busy now, and he is not busy either.

Although there are many things that need to be dealt with every day, most of them can be handed over to subordinates, and I can take time out to take them.

Without any hesitation, Linde decided to go there in person in order to get his farm back on track as soon as possible.

After handing over the tasks at hand to Liana and Alison, Lind flew into the sky in the Carefree and left Orland Island.

Lind's first target was a biologist in the New World, now in Lind's Aland Sea.

It was only because Lind's control over the Oran Sea was not strong enough, and the biologist named Asa was relatively low-key, that Lind had not discovered that there was such a giant Buddha squatting on his territory.

Lind has been in this world for so long, and has read a lot of books and learned about many characters outside the original works.

The scientific researchers in the original work basically revolve around MADS headed by Vegapunk, and there is very little space for scientific researchers other than MADS.

Indeed, those guys in MADS are basically the essence of this world.

But this does not mean that other scientists do not exist or that their level is not good enough. There are also many great people outside MADS.

Asa, whom Lind is visiting now, is such a person. Lind has read many of his works, and many of them have opened Lind's eyes.

Especially after having a brief chat with Asa through Den Den Mushi, Linde was pleasantly surprised by Asa's research on genetics.

Linde felt that the puzzle of his farming career had been completed.

Lind believed that as long as Asa was given some time, he could completely solve the problem of the mutated plants and the weakening effects from generation to generation.

As for castration, Lind felt that Asa didn't even need to do it, and any researcher of similar level could do it.

What worries Linde the most is that the mutation effect cannot be perfectly inherited. After all, the first generation plants were all mutated by Linde one by one.

For a plant like rice, Linde cannot guarantee that it can become a perennial plant. If it remains an annual plant, it will become a disposable product.

Moreover, the genes of this mutated fruit are too complex and place very high demands on scientific researchers. Therefore, Lind has great expectations for Asa's joining.

In addition to Asa, many scientists and researchers in biology and agronomy have also joined.

Although the others' level is not as good as Asa's, they just happen to form a complete scientific research team with Asa and are the first batch of Linde's team.

Just like that, with excitement, Lind drove the Free Cruiser and toured the New World in two days, bringing back all the scientific researchers recruited in the New World to Aland Island.

As for the Grand Line and the Four Seas, the area they cover is too large, and it would take too long for Lind to pick them up one by one.

Without a top scientific researcher like Asa, it's not worth it for Linde to make a special trip just for someone.

In the end, Lind only took over the ones within the New World, and let his men take over the rest slowly.

For Linde, the current group of people is enough for the time being.

After returning to Aland Island, Linde first settled these researchers in the Aland Hotel and let them have a good rest.

As for Linde, he first dealt with some government affairs that had piled up over the past two days, and then called several cadres to discuss how to arrange these scientific researchers.

"Alison, come with me to entertain Master Asa and the others later!"

"The scientific research building next to the plantation will be given to Master Asa and his team for use!"

"The equipment you need, when I brought Master Asa and his team to Oran Island, I brought some of their original equipment with me."

"If there is still a lack of equipment, you will be responsible for replenishing it."

"I will give you 100 billion Baileys later. Master Asa and his team's resettlement expenses, wages, and research funding will come from here."

"When you've spent all the money, you can come back to me for more. Spend it boldly. We have plenty of money now."

Linde said generously, although the 100 billion is almost all of Linde's cash now.

Linde has not controlled the Aland Sea for long and has not received much tariffs.

These are the spoils of war from clearing out the pirates in the Oran Sea, as well as protection fees paid by various forces.

If Lind wants to come up with so much money again, he can only rely on accumulating time or selling the Angel's Heart again.

However, Linde is not panicking. After all, Linde now receives tens, hundreds, or even billions of Baileys in tariffs every day. It only takes one or two months to accumulate 100 billion Baileys again.

Once Lind's plantation gets on track and the fruits of the fourth and fifth generations are sold, his income will rise even higher.

The huge tariffs give Linde the confidence to spend money. It does not need to bear national responsibilities, but can obtain benefits that only the country can obtain.

This development model is indeed a great help to the development of a force.

With the funds provided by tariffs, Linde can freely develop various industries without worrying about funding issues.

The industry that has developed has gained a huge market because of this special model.

This snowballed and grew bigger, causing Lind's power to expand rapidly until it turned into a huge empire.

Chapter 57 Mutated Rice

With Master Asa and his colleagues getting down to work, Linde's farming business was finally on the right track.

Under the leadership of Master Asa, the scientific research team has made great progress in the genetic issues of various mutant fruits, including the Dragon Banana.

Although the genes involved in the devil fruit ability are too complex, the perfect reproduction of the first generation of mutant fruits is still under attack.

However, through Master Asa's cultivation, the problem of the weakening effects of mutant fruits from generation to generation after the second generation has been perfectly solved.

And this is enough for Linde, and Linde has no intention of expanding the number of first-generation products on a large scale.

Lind doesn't even plan to cultivate too many second-generation fruits. If he wants to cultivate them on a large scale, third-generation fruits will be enough.

The first and second generations are currently only provided to the core members under Linde.

Even for ordinary elite team members, Lind planned to let them use the third generation mainly and occasionally use the second generation.
