Mecha Star Wars.

"Sir..." The old man took two steps on his knees and just opened his mouth when a shrill cry came from above.

"Don't listen to him! My Lord! They are all rioters! If you hadn't arrived in time, I don't know what would have happened to our city of Os! My Lord, you must not believe the rumors of these lunatics!"

Lin Fan looked up and saw a little head sticking out from the city wall, yelling at the people below at the top of his lungs. Seeing that he had attracted the attention of the people on the ox cart, he immediately stretched out his hands and bowed: "I am Hafiz, the city commander of Aos City, and I would like to welcome you all!"

It's you, kid! Lin Fan narrowed his eyes, retreated into the hood of the car, moved to the side of Yunze, and said to the old man kneeling on the ground in a slightly gentle tone: "Ignore him, just say your thing."

"Hey, hey," the old man's eyes filled with tears, "God, finally someone can speak up for us! We are not a mob, but farmers from a nearby town. We attacked the city out of helplessness and indignation. That dog official Hafiz is such a scoundrel that he made it impossible for us to survive. We can only break in and ask him for an explanation."

"What did he do?" Antonio had walked from the shaft to the back and stood with his back to Pence, holding a branch in his hand to drive the cattle.

"He ordered people to spread salt on our fields!" The old man burst into tears when he said this. "My Lord, my Lord! All our good crops have dried up!"

The people kneeling around were sobbing, and many of them were wiping away tears.

"We don't have any other skills. We can only live by the harvest from the weather. If the crops die, all the efforts of half a year will be wasted. That's fine. We can't beat the government. How can ordinary people argue with the government? If this one doesn't work, there will be another one." The old man fell to the ground and cried, "But who would have thought that Hafiz would..."

The old man was sobbing and looked very sad, but he tried his best to control his emotions and wanted to finish what he said quickly.

"He actually took advantage of the rainy season to spread salt on our fields! The fertile land is now barren and nothing can grow. We, the people who depend on the land for our livelihood, will die if we lose our land. We have sought the explanation of that damn official countless times, but we have not even been able to see him! We are really at our wits' end!"

The old man burst into tears after he finished speaking, and everyone else started wailing as well.

"Is the consequence of spreading salt on the soil so serious?" Antonio asked quietly, half of his body leaning into the hood of the car, one hand supporting the cushion. "Why do I remember spreading salt to improve the soil quality? And also to repel insects?"

"That depends on how much you spray!" The encyclopedia that Lin Fan had in his mind finally came into play again. "Talking about the effect without considering the dosage is taking it out of context."

"Salt can indeed improve soil quality, but the prerequisite is that the land is originally saline-alkali land that needs to be improved. That is the 'salt water freezing irrigation' technology developed specifically to save fresh water resources. Salt water freezes during irrigation in winter. When spring comes next year, the different freezing points of salt water and fresh water will cause the salt water to melt into the ground first, bringing the salt into the ground. The fresh water then melts to further dilute the salt, achieving surface desalination and promoting plant growth."

"That is only a method for managing saline-alkali land. It cannot be used on ordinary land. The salt often mentioned in farming is actually a plant growth agent similar to compound fertilizer. Spreading edible salt will not have any auxiliary effect. Too much will cause crops to dehydrate and dry up."

"Excessive salt will destroy the healthy soil structure, causing the soil to become too salty and the pH to increase. When the pH exceeds 9.5, no plant can survive in such soil conditions."

"From what he said, it seems that this is the case," Lu Xinyuan also crawled in. "So many people, who knows how much land there is, using edible salt to make it alkaline... My goodness, what kind of hatred and resentment does this bastard official have! Not to mention the trouble, given their living conditions, salt should not be cheap, right?"

"Is there any solution to this situation?" As a great cultivator, Yin Ze is obviously not very familiar with crops.

"It depends on the salinity of the soil." Lin Fan whispered to his people, "Generally, saline-alkali land is formed when salt from groundwater seeps in and gathers on the surface. There are salt-tolerant and alkali-tolerant crops on Lanxing that can be planted in light to moderate saline-alkali land to improve the soil environment. As for general methods, irrigation and drainage are more commonly used. Soaking the land in water can reduce the salt in the soil and improve the water retention and fertility of the soil. But with their current productivity... it's hard to say."

Fresh water resources are scarce resources no matter where they are. Lin Fan is not sure if they have enough fresh water resources to save their land.

Moreover, the solution to save the city was secondary. They attacked the city this time obviously to ask Hafez for an explanation.

I don’t know what the land division system is like here. If Hafiz could give them a piece of arable land, I think these people might not go to great lengths to save their original farmland. After all, their goal is just to be able to farm and survive.

But this is obviously impossible!

No matter what the reason was for Hafiz to do this, it was obvious that he was going to kill these people. How could he give them a chance to live? He didn't even give these poor people a clear answer, so they still don't know why they suffered this unprovoked disaster.

People were not the type to believe in one side only. Generally speaking, confrontation between the two sides would reveal the truth. But because of the incident involving little Irene, their impression of Hafiz was extremely bad.

But now...what can they do?

Most normal people would have sympathy for the weak, and Lin Fan had already begun to wonder if he could do something to help them.

Salt-alkali land…plants, weather…

She glanced at Antonio and then quickly looked away.

"What's wrong?" Antonio naturally noticed. "What do you want me to do?"

Lin Fan shook his head, "Not for now. You can't do it yet."

"Hey~" Antonio was dissatisfied, "Why can't I do it? How can I try if you don't tell me?"

"Can your ability extract the salt from the soil? Or put fresh water in and salt water out?" Seeing that he didn't believe it, Lin Fan asked directly.

"Uh..." Antonio paused.

After his ability left the consciousness realm of Tiandu Star, it has been growing slowly and is still hovering at the level of an entry-level baby. He has never tried this method of control, and even if it succeeds, the area should not be too large.

Looking at the farmer kneeling on the ground, I'm afraid that even if I squeeze him dry, I won't be able to make enough money!

Antonio suddenly realized that his ability was the lowest among the others.

Not to mention Yin Ze, as long as he is willing, the broken golden elixir can also be a true immortal.

Not only has Merlinil reached the sixth level, but his little brother Lu Xinyuan is not much behind.

Lin Fan...what's more terrifying than her bracelet is her thunder!

Thinking of this, I suddenly became unhappy. I stood up sadly and hugged my weak self.

"Huh? Anton has water-related superpowers?" It was the first time that Yin Ze knew that Antonio had superpowers. He had witnessed his mecha before, but he never thought that he had superpowers.

"Yeah, An Ge is a water type, I am a gold type, and Merlin is an ice type." Lu Xinyuan said with a smile. "Lin Jian is the best, he has all the elements!"

Yin Ze turned his gaze towards Lin Fan. He had no idea that she had supernatural powers, but considering her hidden great power, it seemed natural...

“No, no,” Lin Fan waved his hands quickly, “Those are just fake, entry-level, not worth mentioning. When it comes to supernatural powers, Anton and I are both novices, so we need everyone to take care of us.”

When Antonio heard Lin Fan say this, he felt better for no reason.

Lu Xinyuan wanted to say something when he heard a rumbling sound behind him.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the tightly closed city gate slowly opened a crack and a head cautiously poked out.

Seeing that everyone in the carriage was looking at him, he immediately cried out: "My lord, you must not be deceived by the people and believe their words! Everyone in Oss City can prove that I am a good city commander!"

He cried and shouted with a painful expression on his face, but unfortunately there was only thunder but no rain, and not even a trace of his body was exposed.

"Don't worry, we are fair." Antonio pulled out the branch in his hand and said sarcastically, "Now, you can defend yourself."

An error was found.

The one on the Noah was the youngest son, Lu Xinyuan, a gold-type mutant.

I have written these chapters as his brother Lu Yuhao. Oh my, really.

It was all changed in the afternoon. It doesn't affect the plot, just the name is wrong.

Careless pinch, hehehe.
