Chapter 219 Twenty-five billion acres of plantations

Watering is even more unnecessary. The nut tree grows directly in the water, so how can it be short of water?

Therefore, after the expansion of the nut tree plantation, they only need to come to harvest every year, and occasionally remove some pests, which is basically the same.

Compared to a nut tree plantation that grows in water, a bread tree that grows on land is more difficult to manage.

There is watering, fertilization, and harvest time. When picking fruits, family members fall down and kill themselves or get injured.

Compared with being in the swamp, even if you fall, you will fall directly into the water. At most, your head will be buzzing, which is much worse.

And the yield is not very optimistic. In the dark swamp, the nut tree plantation can harvest two seasons a year, each tree weighs 100 jin, and on an acre of land, ten trees can harvest close to a ton of grain a year.

But here, even with fertilization and watering, the annual harvest of a tree is only about 50 catties.

Adding up ten trees on one acre of land, the annual harvest is only about 500 catties, or about 0.25 tons.

Compared with the nut tree plantation forest in the dark swamp, not only can there be only one harvest a year, but the output has also been reduced by half.

In contrast, the output plummeted by four times.

Four acres (1,000 square meters) of bread tree plantation is worth an acre of nut tree plantation in the dark swamp.

And it is many times more troublesome than a nut tree plantation.

After managing a nut tree plantation, and now managing these troublesome bread tree plantations with low yields, it is no wonder that Eliza is a little bit dissatisfied.

"The land here is very large, with many mountains and trees, and there are no violent storms."

"Although the yield of food is a little less, and it is a little more troublesome than our nut tree plantations, but it is just watering and fertilizing."

"Those stupid dark creatures can still understand such a simple matter."

"Let them shit and pee under their own bread tree every day, and that's about it."

Ace said casually.

He has seen those fields planted by humans, planted in spring, harvested in autumn, and has to be watched every day to prevent damage to animals such as mice, birds, insects, etc., which is troublesome to death.

Now his bread tree plantation only needs to be watered and fertilized, which is extremely simple.

Randomly ask those races to pull their own nutrient excrement under the trees of those trees every day, and the task of fertilizing and watering has basically been completed.

Compared with those human farmers who are busy on the plains, it is not too easy.

In his view, although the output has decreased by four times, the western region has a huge area of ​​more than 50 million square kilometers, and more than 90% of the land is composed of mountains.

There are so many trees, at a glance, even if the output is reduced by four times, the number of creatures of all races that can be fed is still an astronomical number.

Anyway, it is definitely possible to raise a population many times larger than the current Western Territory.

The expansion of human beings is mainly based on plains, or cultivated land that can produce food.

Wherever farmland can be developed on a large scale, that is the direction of their expansion.

As for those alpine forests, only some hunters will go there, and the number of them is very small.

According to the mountain area, the ratio of land to cultivated land is one hundred to one, that is, out of one million square kilometers, only 10,000 square kilometers of land can be reclaimed as cultivated land.

One thousand square meters is one acre.

One million square kilometers can reclaim about 100 million acres of arable land.

The entire western region is 50 million square kilometers, and the arable land cultivated by the people of the western region should be about 5 billion acres.

However, because more than half of their areas are wild areas that have just been occupied and have not been fully developed, this number has to be reduced by nearly half.

After all, if you want to fully develop the newly developed barbaric area, it basically takes a hundred years as a unit.

The first to be developed must be areas close to rivers that are relatively easy to reclaim.

The actual arable land area in the western region should be around 2.5 billion to 3 billion acres.

Ace didn't pay attention to this area at all.

The advantage of grafting and planting is that wherever there are big trees growing, it can be turned into his plantation.

The western region is dominated by mountains. Excluding the basin and some areas that are too difficult to climb, the forest area that can expand the bread tree plantation occupies at least 50% of the area of ​​the western region.

The 50 million square kilometers in the western region, as long as it is fully occupied, the bread tree plantation of about 25 million square kilometers is not a dream at all.

That's how many acres, based on 10,000 square kilometers and 100 million acres, that's 250 billion acres of bread tree plantations.

How many people can this feed.

What can humans compare with him?

As long as he occupied the western region and worked hard to develop it for hundreds of years, even if the gods in the sky descended to earth, he would be able to tear apart the countless legendary demigods cultivated by the blood sacrifice energy brought by a sufficient population.

You must know that one acre of bread trees can produce 500 catties of grain per year, which is completely enough to feed a population.

250 billion acres of bread tree plantations can support 250 billion people.

He couldn't imagine how many strong men could be cultivated by the blood sacrifice energy brought by such a huge population.

In short, in Ace's view, as long as he can take down the western border, no one in the whole world can resist his footsteps.

To be honest, he was also a little puzzled, why didn't anyone think of marrying and farming before him?

Regardless of his previous life or the magical world after he became a dragon, they all have techniques and ideas similar to grafting.

Such a big benefit.

As far as the country in his previous life is concerned, he has a forest area of ​​about 2 million square kilometers. After using grafting and planting, he can completely transform more than 20 billion acres of land that can produce food.

Increase the number of people you can support by ten or even twenty times.

The same is true in many countries. The area of ​​forest is ten or even twenty times that of the existing cultivated land, and the result is that no one uses it.

Logically speaking, someone should have used grafting and farming to strengthen their own group early on.

There are so many smart people of all races, and all kinds of knowledge and inheritance are as brilliant as stars, how could anyone not think of it?

Although he was puzzled by this point, Ace didn't delve into it.

Eliza tilted her dragon head, her 19-meter-long body squeezed on the throne, and continued: "Besides this, we are about to bleed a lot."

"Those guys are getting crazier one by one. As long as they push across the human area, the intelligent creatures with weapons are basically wiped out by them."
