I am farming in the real world

Chapter 81: Heatwave Strikes (Bonus Chapter for 100 Average Subscriptions)

“Shorten growth and development time by 10%?”

Chen Jue looked at the system description and remembered the [Wheat Seeds] he used to get from breaking grass in MC.

Most farming players who enjoy playing territorial breeding in the game know this Easter egg operation.

It's using wheat seeds to feed chickens, which can allow the chicks to skip a period of time and enter maturity faster.

But he didn't expect that these soybean seeds cultivated from MC farmland in reality would also have the same ripening effect.

Moreover, according to the subtitle introduction, it seems that these soybean seeds are not only for poultry like chickens and ducks, but even livestock like cattle, sheep, and pigs can accelerate growth.

This made Chen Jue unexpectedly delighted!

“Isn’t this a weakened version of [Bone Meal] for animals!” Chen Jue stared at the soybean seeds in his hand with excitement.

As for making soy products, he is not very good at it.

Moreover, what he grows are ordinary quality soybeans, and it is estimated that the taste of tofu and other soy products made from them will not be as amazing as MC roast chicken.

In addition, there is one more thing that Chen Jue cares about, which is the soybean yield per square of MC farmland.

He took an electronic scale that he had previously bought online based on Wu Lao San's suggestion for selling vegetables, and weighed the output of soybean seeds per square meter. The number 0.75 kilograms jumped out.

Then he took out his notebook and calculated, and he was completely stunned!

“Holy crap!”

“500 kilograms of soybeans per mu?”

Chen Jue's eyelids twitched wildly as he looked at the data he had calculated.

You must know that the yield per mu of ordinary soybeans is generally around 200 kilograms.

Especially when planted on the barren land in southern China, this yield will decrease by another 50 kilograms.

Only the fertile black soil in Northeast China has the hope of producing more than 300 kilograms per mu.

Of course, some domestic soybean demonstration fields and experimental varieties can also achieve a yield of 500 kilograms per mu, or even higher.

Take the 'Zhonghua Dou Zhongwang' (King of Chinese Soybeans), an improved soybean variety that ordinary people have not heard of much. It has the characteristics of extra-large grains, super high yield, good quality, high lodging resistance, and resistance to diseases and insect pests. The yield per mu can even reach 750 kilograms.

It is even more awesome than the genetically modified soybeans made by the Americans!

However, after all, it is an experimental variety. Not only is the quantity scarce, but it is also impossible to achieve the intensive cultivation conditions for large-scale promotion.

But the soybeans planted in MC farmland in front of Chen Jue are different.

These are the most common Heihe 43 and Heinong 48 varieties mixed together. No fertilizer was added, and no pesticides were sprayed.

In this way, it easily exploded to a yield of 500 kilograms per mu, which is indeed a bit too heaven-defying.

Fortunately, Chen Jue had already experienced the power of this kind of explosive yield when planting vegetables before, and knew that MC farmland cannot be viewed with the eyes of ordinary people.

So after recording these test data, he left the underground planting base.

Climbing up to the old house in Chen Village, he tried soaking the newly harvested soybeans in a bowl.

Since he had nothing to do, he planned to try making some soy milk himself to see if MC soybeans would be a little different.

However, considering that the quality of the first batch of purchased soybean seeds was not very good, Chen Jue specially drove the company's newly purchased Trumpchi MPV to the RT-Mart supermarket in the county town, and went directly to the grain and oil area that specializes in selling high-end rice and noodles, and began to select finely packaged beans with [Vigorous] + [Excellent] attributes.

They were all marked as green organic and strictly selected, and sold much more expensive than those bulk soybeans.

In addition to these finely packaged soybeans, Chen Jue also selected some red beans and mung beans, and also bought a Joyoung soymilk maker.

By the time he left the supermarket, it was already dark, but the feeling of dryness and heat in the air remained.

In the past, the coolness that naturally came in the evening could not be felt at all in the county town full of heat island effect.

“This damn weather, why does it feel like it’s getting hotter and hotter?”

Chen Jue muttered, carrying a supermarket shopping bag into the car.

He opened his phone and found that the recent temperature in Jiangsu and Zhejiang was a bit abnormal.

Especially after entering伏 (the hottest period of summer), it was more than 40 degrees everywhere, giving people a very uncomfortable feeling.

You must know that Chen Jue had just returned from a business trip in the cool Northeast, and had been staying in the underground base for a long time, so he didn't feel much about this abnormal high temperature on weekdays.

But at this moment, when he drove out for a drive, the heat wave coming towards him made him immediately roll up the car window.

“In the past, people said that global climate is warming.”

“In recent years, it does seem to be the case.” Chen Jue drove and thought of the news reports he often saw about environmental changes.

News about the melting of Arctic glaciers and the endangerment of polar bears were not taken seriously before.

It was not until various extreme weathers struck in recent years that people realized that this earth is indeed changing.

However, for 'ordinary people' like Chen Jue, it is enough to live comfortably every day.

Anyway, if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. He just wants to steadily do his little business now, and doesn't want to touch the big pit of environmental protection for the time being.

……

After buying the bean seeds he planned to plant in small batches, Chen Jue drove past the roadside roast meat restaurant and food stalls, and specially got out of the car to pack some marinated food, fried dumplings, and beer.

Seeing that the frozen beer and drinks in the food stalls were all put in a large water tank with ice cubes poured into it, Chen Jue's eyes suddenly lit up!

He suddenly remembered a utility-type creature in MC that he had not yet tried to synthesize.

“That’s right!”

“How could I forget about this!”

“How can we lack that guy in such a hot summer!”

So after paying, Chen Jue drove to a Mixue Ice Cream \u0026 Tea shop with good business nearby, ordered a few newly launched tea drinks, and took the opportunity to ask the clerk for some crushed ice.

Mixue Ice Cream \u0026 Tea's service attitude has always been very good. After all, it takes a people-friendly and low-price route. The clerk didn't ask much and directly packed a large bag for Chen Jue.

When he took the bag of crushed ice and looked at it, a line of subtitles appeared.

【Crushed Ice: A man-made product, fine and dense snowflake crushed ice made by commercial ice makers, can be used to replace 'Snow'】

“It really works!”

Chen Jue couldn't help but grin when he saw this.

He inquired with the store manager of Mixue Ice Cream \u0026 Tea about where to buy this kind of snowflake ice maker in the store.

After that, he drove to an electrical appliance store that was about to close and bought a Zhibin Haichang Park Ben Magic Cube factory for three thousand.

After several days of internal transformation, the workshops in the Magic Cube factory have been divided into several according to Chen Jue's needs. What's left is to add industrial equipment, which hasn't been done yet.

He found a small workshop dedicated to experiments, connected the ice maker to water and electricity, and soon a lot of snowflake crushed ice was condensed and crushed under the action of the motor's air cooling.

Chen Jue didn't bother to eat the dinners and snacks he bought back. He reached out and grabbed a large handful of this snowflake-shaped crushed ice and spread it flat on the workbench.

He took out the [Iron Pickaxe] and tapped on this layer of crushed ice.

With a 'dong' sound, white cracks appeared on the crushed ice, and then he saw them crack in response, turning into several pixel-style white [Snowballs] and entering Chen Jue's inventory.

Dragging these [Snowballs] to fill in the four-grid synthesis column that comes with the character backpack, a brand new synthesis formula appeared:

【Snowball】× 4 → 【Snow Block】

After clicking on synthesis, he picked up the [Snow Block] and felt a cool feeling passing along Steve's arm.

“It’s ice cold!”

“If there is no air conditioner at night, putting one in the room is estimated to lower the temperature by more than ten degrees.” Chen Jue grinned when he saw this.

According to his long-sealed game memory, he stacked the synthesized [Snow Blocks] in a 1-type two-grid pattern. Then he took out a [Pumpkin] carved with [Scissors] and placed it on its neck, as simple as ordinary people building a snowman in winter.

It's just that the snowman Chen Jue built is a bit special.

In the next second, the snowman with a bit of Halloween temperament suddenly shrank, his facial features moved, a row of buttons appeared on his chest, two wooden arms grew out from both sides, and he came alive on the spot!

【Snow Golem: Snow King】

【Health Points: Red Heart × 2】

【Attack Power: 3 (Limited to Blaze)】

【Recruitment Limit: 1 / 100】

【Skin: Not Activated】

【Self-introduction: A utility-type creature with a non-mainstream frozen heart. Note: Don't wave wheat in front of it!】

Finally, the bonus chapter is here! I stayed up all night to get it out for everyone!
