The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman.

Chapter 1243 The Farm of Justice (32)
Several people did not sigh for too long, they all knew that they came here to solve the problem. During the visit to the village, Clark first proposed:
"When they went to farm, I didn't see any large-scale machinery. Of course, I also know that the large-scale mechanized agriculture in Mexico is concentrated in the northwest, and the agricultural conditions in other places are relatively backward, but even if there is no large-scale mechanized Equipment, should there be machines to help with farming? Don’t you have a tractor at all?”

Oliver folded his arms, sighed and said: "Actually, there were, but there were only two, and they were very old tractors, purchased by the village community and rented out for personal use, but since the drug lords controlled the land, Since the poppies were planted, the tractors have not been maintained and have been completely scrapped."

"So, now everyone is farming the land with the most primitive method?" Diana asked.

"That's not enough. There are also some large tools." After speaking, Oliver led a few people to the warehouse on the side of the village. The warehouse is the only relatively grand building in the village, which stores seeds and forage.

As soon as he walked in, Clark saw a familiar machine. It was a small cultivator. Although it looked a little rusty, it was still intact and did not affect its use.

Clark stepped forward to check the machine, but he found something wrong just as he walked over. There were a few ropes tied to the connection of the cultivator, and some belts were hung on the front of the ropes.

Clark slowly widened his eyes, pointed at the cultivator and said, "Could you use oxen to pull this thing?"

"How is it possible?" Oliver shrugged. Just as Clark was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Oliver said, "Sometimes I use horses."

Clark couldn't laugh or cry, he said: "Even if animal power farming is really needed here, but this kind of machine is hung on the tractor, and the depth and thickness of the blade are only suitable for high-powered tractors, and people or cattle can't pull it over. depth."

Oliver stepped forward to look at Clark in some surprise, and asked, "You mean, there is a difference between what pulls this thing?"

"Of course, this thing was originally designed for tractors. If you use cows or horses to pull it, one is that the direction of force is wrong, and the other is that the force is not enough."

Clark made gestures with a wry smile and said, "When the tractor is connected to the cultivator, the angle of the connection can be adjusted. When cultivating the land, the tractor can also control the raising or lowering of the cultivator through the parts at the connection."

"If you want to plow deeper, turn the angle of it to this side." Clark stretched out his arms and gestured for the angle of the cultivator, and then said: "Even if you want to use animals to pull it, the rope is too long No, this will cause its angle to be too flat, and the blade will not be able to enter the ground, but only scratch the surface shallowly."

"If you just sprinkle the seeds in like this, it is equivalent to exposing the seeds in the sun. The seeds cannot absorb nutrients and water, and they will be dried quickly. The germination rate will be very low, and the yield will of course not be good."

Oliver covered his forehead and said: "These machines are purchased together with the tractor. The tractor engine is broken, and the local people can't repair it. They think that these machines that don't need an engine can be pulled by anything, so Cows and horses were used instead, and even people pulled it.”

"I can't blame the locals." Diana said, "When I saw this thing for the first time, I didn't know what's in it. I didn't even know that I could adjust its angle while sitting on a tractor. I thought I had to get out of the car and break the parts."

"I think there should still be a tractor." Bruce said, "Can you show me those two scrapped tractors?"

"You want to fix them?" Oliver sighed and shook his head as he leaned on the side of the cultivator. "I'm sure you might be able to fix them, but the thing is, two tractors aren't much use."

Clark said as if he suddenly remembered something: "Oh, by the way, I haven't asked yet, how big is the experimental field you marked out? How many fields do we have to plant?"

"This is just an experimental cultivation. I was afraid that the spread would be too large to handle, so I set aside 3000 acres of land first."

Clark gasped. He stared at Oliver and said, "You are crazy. Do you know how big 3000 acres of pure land are? That's more than 1000 hectares!"

"But we have a total of 7 acres of land." Oliver looked at Clark and said seriously, "If possible, I would like to let all these 7 acres of land be planted with grain this year. It is precisely because I know it is impossible that I took a step back. , I’m going to try it with a small piece of land first.”

Clark's complexion gradually became serious. Diana didn't know much about this aspect, so she stepped forward to look at Clark and said, "What's the matter, is it difficult?"

"It's not difficult anymore, it's almost impossible." Clark shook his head and said, "Unless we use our special ability to plow the land within a few days, and then I fly to scatter the seeds, otherwise it is almost impossible to do so with such a primitive method." working method to complete the spring plowing in such a short period of time.”

Clark shrugged his nose, then poked his head out of the door to look at the position of the sun, and said: "This is a tropical climate, and the rainy season will come soon. When the first rain falls, the seeds have almost no chance of landing. We have to race against time."

Oliver immediately walked to the door, took Clark's arm and said, "Then, what do you think is an appropriate amount of land within our capabilities, I mean, within the capabilities of Mexican farmers?"

Before Clark could answer, Bruce walked up to Oliver and said, "I think your thinking is wrong."

"I know, what you mean is to teach people how to fish. It doesn't make sense for the three of them to use superpowers to plow the land, because the local Mexicans don't have superpowers, and they can't keep plowing here every year."

"But not using superpowers doesn't mean you have to do it yourself. Now time is tight, the task is heavy, and the starting point is low, but you want good results. In this case, it is impossible to use no external force at all. You need a start-up Supplies, even if these supplies are not available every year, as long as the difficulties of the first year are solved, self-sufficiency will be much easier."

Oliver patted his forehead and said: "It's true, I was too anxious, I want them to quickly master the method of planting a good field, but if there are no teaching tools, it is useless to worry."

In some dimly lit rooms, Oliver saw the light of wisdom in Bruce's eyes. He was unconsciously attracted by Bruce's blue eyes, and then heard Bruce ask:
"Where is the person who helped you before?"

"They said they were waiting for news from me...you mean, ask them to provide us with this start-up capital?"

"That's right." Bruce turned his head to look at Hal and said, "Remember what I said before? This is a good time to test their abilities and true colors."

"So what do we want? A tractor?" Hal asked.

"No, we want the engine."

In the office on the top floor of the Wayne Building, Thomas frowned while holding a report. He whispered, "...engine?"

"That's right, that's what the other party said." The male manager on the opposite side also frowned and said, "It's not weapons, it's not food, it's not even a car, they want an engine, and they specifically specified that they want a high-horsepower engine."

"What do they want?" Thomas still whispered, he was not asking questions, but clarifying his thoughts.

"They should know that it is impossible for us to provide them with military engines. Then, vehicles are the most widely used engines in the civilian market. But if they need transportation, they can directly ask for money to buy a car, even if it is some special vehicles. You can have the car itself, not the engine."

"If they get the engine, places like Mexico will not be able to manufacture other parts of the vehicle for them. Their industrial development is not complete, and they are unable to produce and manufacture other parts of the vehicle."

"Then disassemble the engine, crack the technology, and produce it yourself?" asked the female president.

But soon, she realized that she had said something stupid, and she smiled awkwardly and said: "If they have that ability, they won't need our support weapons."

The male manager shook his head and said, "You may not know much about this aspect. Even if you have the engine technology, what about the materials? What about the manufacturing process? What about the production line?"

"The engines of cars all over the world can be disassembled. Have you seen any small country that produced a car that is exactly the same as a big manufacturer out of thin air? The production line is the key issue."

Thomas exhaled and said: "If they want to crack the engine, then they should directly ask for the technology. If they want to use the engine, then they should directly ask for the finished product, unless the engine is not the key, but just a sign."

"what do you mean……"

"What kind of engine we give them represents our ability and attitude."

Thomas leaned back on the back of the sofa, put his hand on the side of the sofa back, and said, "If we give them an engine that doesn't have enough horsepower, it means that we worry that they will have force outside the specification. If we give them the finished brand engines, it means that our group does not have industrial production capacity, or simply does not pay attention to them."

Thomas slowly narrowed his eyes and said, "It seems that this time, we have met a smart person."

On the third day after the request for assistance was sent out, Oliver received a lot of responses, asking him to pick up the goods at the place where they were connected before. Hal flew over directly and brought everything back with the energy of the green light.

More than one engine was sent from each family, but in order to facilitate Bruce's identification, Hal each took out one and placed it on the floor of the warehouse.

Bruce saw many finished brands of engines in it at a glance. Even if there was no OEM, he could probably guess which ones, some came from the United States, and some came from Europe.

Bruce looked at it for a while, and asked Hal to put these engines away, and there were a few others with their own characteristics.

Bruce first looked at a gray-white engine. Its size is not too large, and its horsepower is large but not exaggerated. More importantly, this thing is directly adapted to the tractor, and it can even be used when it is installed. Everything else The engines are more suitable for ordinary vehicles.

"Looks like we've met a smart guy," Bruce commented, "They saw what we wanted the engine for, and he saw that Oliver was a good guy who really wanted to improve the conditions of the farmers, and through this engine A certain amount of support was expressed.”

He turned to Oliver and said, "Good news, we will have a relatively reliable ally."

Afterwards, Bruce turned his attention to the most eye-catching huge box present, which was almost seven or eight times the size of the previous engine, and almost reached the roof of the warehouse.

Clark flew up to remove the box, and the moment Bruce saw the machine, he froze in shock.

It could have been an engine, too, but Bruce knew it by another name—the Ark Reactor.

Bruce's thoughts were like lightning, and in an instant, he read a name: "... Luther."
