Pokémon guide and development

On the second day of the summer camp, Xixia led everyone to visit No. 1 of the Seven Fruit Islands, which is the orchard of the current island.

It is said to be an orchard, but it is actually a fruit forest that is not well managed in a standardized manner.

The yield of the fruit trees is okay and the quality is good, that’s all.

Then we went from the small ferry on Island 1 to Island 2. The usual boat capacity was insufficient, but fortunately there were Pokémon that could "fly" and "surf".

The fruit trees on Island No. 2 are similar to those on Island No. 1, but there are fewer on Island No. 3.

They are all in a very rough natural growth state, and the staff can only help with pruning.

It is true that the Seven Fruit Islands have too few manpower, and not everyone has Pokémon, so there is a shortage of labor.

The other four islands are all in pristine condition and undeveloped.

"It's already great."

Nana introduced to Shen Qi that the annual net income of Fruit Seven Islands is around 2 million b.

Even if the 200 million yuan is divided among more than people, it is still much higher than the average income on the Seven Islands.

"Hey, it's just a matter of relying on the weather. It fluctuates a lot."

There are no disaster prevention projects in Guoqi Island, and the territory is scattered. If a major disaster occurs, it is normal for most of the annual income to be cut off.

If that doesn't work, go to the other four islands in a wild state to pick up some extra fruits that survived the disaster. The quality control is uneven, but you can sell them for more or less money.

"Students." Ji Xiang greeted, "Students who have ideas should discuss with the teacher to see what improvement plans there are for the orchards on Islands 1 to 3."

There must be ways to improve it, and Nana and Xixia should have thought about it to some extent, but they won't spend a lot of money to hire hundreds of workers.

Ji Xiang and Xiao Cui had a plan in mind. They brought students with certain skills as Pokémon workers in gardening and planting to carry out the transformation. They would get paid after achieving results.

Other students either find ways to work hard in other aspects, or... they just come here to relax, come in contact with wild Pokémon, and understand the attribute energy.

The staple food in the evening is white rice cooked in a firewood cauldron, and the elf rations are also heated on a fruit wood stove.

It's so fragrant that it can be eaten without fish or vegetables. It's so delicious that it's second only to watching Mr. Ji Xiang's battle.

"Master Nana Island." Shen Qi grabbed his job, "With all due respect, the products of Fruit Seven Islands really have fatal flaws."

"Please tell me." Nana's attitude was very candid, "Our orchard has many defects. I would like to hear which aspect Mr. Shen Qi is concerned about."

"It's still a quality issue."

The fruits of Qidao are delicious, but there are problems with yield and quality control.

There are also high-quality fruits in other places, which can be flown here.

As a result, Fruit Qidao can only compete with ordinary fruits in the low-end market.

Another problem is the fruits. The fruits on the Seven Islands are also delicious, but they are not at the level of medicines or props and cannot be sold at high prices. Most of them are used as Pokémon food or elf rations.

As for vegetables, wheat, etc., residents of the Seven Islands only grow the fruits for their own consumption, and the profit margin is too low.

The two main products are neither good enough nor good enough, which makes the income here unable to increase.

If there is a problem with revenue, it will be impossible to bring in more people and optimize the industry, and the products will remain stagnant.

"Yes…"

Shen Qi did talk about the pain points of the Seven Fruit Islands. Nana knew that the cost of the fruits on her territory was okay, but they were not very distinctive.

I can only say that the fruit is better than the cheap ordinary fruit, and I don’t dare to raise the price too high;

The same goes for tree fruits, which are also better and cannot raise the price.

There is no brand, no quality control, and no high-end products. Even if it is advertised on Little Sheep, it will not take off like the third island fruit forest.

"Has the owner of Nanai Island tried to replace the fruit seedlings with better varieties?"

"Not very good."

Nana has experience in selective breeding.

The terroir of the Seven Fruit Islands is too special, and other high-quality and high-yielding fruits are just like that, similar to the local fruits in the orchards now, or even worse.

The orange in the south and the tangerine in the north are not acclimatized to the soil and environment.

In fact, the same is true for the fruit forest. The newly established varieties are all locally bred varieties, and the exotic fruits and tree fruits have little performance in that good place.

So looking for better varieties from the Fruit Seven Islands range?

In the same tree, some plants are strong and some are weak.

"Mr. Shen Qi." Nana's eyes looked at the sea reflecting the stars under the night sky. "I believe that there are better varieties on the four unopened original islands of the Seven Fruit Islands, but... there is no way to breed them."

This is a highly technical and long-term job.

If you can't find a solution for a long time, it will just be like introducing a variety that is not acclimatized to the soil, wasting the existing labor force of the Seven Islands.

"That's it..."

Shen Qi actually had some thoughts in his mind.

The first game prop [Sprout] given by "Four Seasons God" is to identify the best among plants of the same kind.

It is perfect for selecting excellent tree fruit varieties.

Having said that, Shen Qi couldn't guarantee it.

The word selection and breeding includes two stages: "selection" and "cultivation". The first stage of selection is completed by [new shoots]. Later, you still have to try to cultivate it until the fruit is mature, then promote it after seeing the finished product, and then replace it. Original fruit trees in poor condition.

"Master Nana, don't you have any other resources? For example, phosphate rock."

Shen Qi thought about the world before time travel. There was a country called "Nauru" in South America, a very small island country.

Nauru's prosperity comes from guano.

Seabirds with no place to land in the ocean rested on Nauru. Over countless years, they accumulated a large amount of guano, which is more than ten or even tens of meters deep, forming rich phosphate deposits.

If Guoqi Island has huge phosphate resources, it can take off in a short time.

"Unfortunately, no." Nana shook her head.

Seabird droppings are not as exaggerated as Nauru. After all, other islands in the Orange Islands can also allow seabirds to rest and forage. They are not the only choice in the vast sea.

There is some phosphate rock in the Seven Fruit Islands, but not much. It is difficult to start and there is not much profit.

The most critical thing is...the ecosystem will be damaged on a catastrophic level.

Nauru thrived on guano phosphate mines and also declined there.

By the time the phosphate mine is finished, the entire island will be riddled with holes.

Once the island's ecology is destroyed, it will take decades to recover, let alone its "fruit" reputation.

Therefore, Nana has no idea of ​​touching the phosphate rock at all. The most valuable thing about the Seven Fruit Islands is the terroir and fertile land.

"Yes. Tomorrow I want to visit the four unopened islands."

"You're welcome, feel free."

"If there is a suitable island, and I have found a suitable tree species..." Shen Qi asked tentatively, "Can I rent an underground area to use as an experimental field?"

Nana didn't expect anyone to be willing to rent an unopened island.

This is just like telling the officials of the 6th Island that they want to rent a land to grow fruits in the ruins valley, but the officials don't know how to price it.

"Mr. Shen Qi, you can use this place as you wish."

Nana thought for a while and said, "If we really find out, and good tree species can be expanded to the entire island in the future, I still won't charge any rent."
