Prehistoric Survival Records

After drinking the honey water, they rested for a while, and all the people revived with full blood on the spot. They stood up spontaneously and went to work in the afternoon without Rigg's urging.

The field has been deeply plowed, but due to the prehistoric soil fertility is thin, and the grassland is windy and sandy, just plowing the land can increase the crop yield to a certain extent, but for Lige, who is used to yielding thousands of catties per mu, from later generations, It is still far from meeting the requirements, not to mention how many catties per mu, at least let the crops planted grow three or four times the amount in the wild in the carefully prepared hotbed.

The crops of the later generations have such a huge yield. Of course, optimal selection is the biggest reason, but it is also inseparable from the scientific and standardized management of the fields by humans in the later generations. In the poor orc tribe, Rieger could not pick and choose the varieties of the first generation crops Four, after all, it is a great blessing to be able to find seeds. Without the conditions for picking seeds, Rieger wants to provide crops with an excellent growing environment as much as possible.

In view of the wind and sand on the grassland, the drought in spring and summer, and the precipitation in summer, a farming method emerged in Rieger's mind - ridge farming.

In the era when Rieger lived in his previous life, some planets had already realized the complete automation and mechanization of agriculture, but on the more remote desolate planets, some people refused to transition to a completely modern way of life, and they maintained a more primitive way of life. , Simple way of life.

Rieger once traveled to a relatively remote desolate planet. It was a planet with a very inconvenient geographical location and a large area of ​​flat cultivated land. Since it was not connected to modern water conservancy facilities, the locals had recorded it according to ancient books. The ancient Huaxia people once used the cultivation method in the plain area, and it was there that Lige really experienced the benefits of a ridge cultivation.

The principle is to dig out ridges of equal height and furrows of equal depth along the flat ground, and plant the crops in the ridges or furrows according to the light-loving properties. It can quickly flow to the low-lying furrows for storage, which can ensure that the soil on the ridge is loose and breathable, and it is not easy to waterlog the roots.

In this way, if the root system of the crop needs to absorb water, it must extend to the low-lying place, which is also conducive to the development of the root system of the plant, and the ground temperature on the ridge platform is high, and the light intensity is high, which not only protects the seedlings, but also facilitates photosynthesis of the leaves.

For Rieger, the ridge-trough method can effectively solve the current problem whether it is to lower the water level to maintain water and soil, or to increase the ground temperature to ensure the germination rate.

In front of the ridge, Lige asked people to transport the river bottom silt that was dug out a few days ago to dry out the water and sprinkle it into the field to fully mix with the original soil. A large amount of organic matter and humus were deposited in the silt, which was sprinkled on the ground. The soil is regarded as a secondary increase in fertility.

After all this is done, the ditches can be dug, which can be regarded as a delicate project that tests endurance.

Why do I say that? The main reason is that the orcs are all big and tall. Although they do all kinds of daily work, they have never bent over for a long time. For thin people who tend to have strong muscle power For me, doing farm work is really hard work, and it’s okay when plowing. Anyway, as long as the edge line set by Lige is not dug out, you can use any posture or dance in it.

However, there are requirements for ridges. In order to be suitable for the growth of most crops, Lige set the height and width of the ridges to [-] cm, and erected rows of small branches along the place to be excavated. people as a reference.

When the adult orcs were digging ditches, Rieg and a group of orc cubs sat on the edge of the field and recited poetry.

When the day of hoeing the weeds is noon, the sweat drips down the weeds, who knows that the Chinese food on the plate is hard work.

The cubs didn't understand the meaning, but this poem has many voices and is catchy. For them, it is quite novel and interesting to be able to read four sentences and five characters.

I read so much that even the adult orcs who rolled their eyes after working in the field learned it. While reciting poems while farming, it was a sour and refreshing scene.

Although the orcs are not experienced workers, and the trenches and ridges dug out are all crooked, Rieg is still satisfied with the results of digging several acres of land in one afternoon, and according to him, the few days before the end of work The ditch is much straighter than when it was first dug, which shows that the comprehension ability of these orcs is still very good.

He couldn't become fat in one sitting, and when the sun was about to set, Rieg finally announced that he could call it a day.

As soon as they heard this, the orcs immediately threw away the agricultural tools, fell to the ground, and collapsed. When they fell, they were careful not to crush the ridges that had just been piled up, and they were very conscious.

Rigg was not that black-hearted contractor either. He knew that this was just the beginning of farm work, and the orcs were still not used to it. After all, no matter how strong and strong a young man was, he would be so tired that he would hunch over and blister his palms the first time he went to the field.

Facing the loess and back facing the sky is not a posture that a person will have spontaneously. Both the muscles and muscles need to get used to it. The palms and farm tools also need time to get used to it. There is no rush and they have to get used to it slowly.

After all, if there is no accident, hunting and gathering will not be the focus of the tribe in the future, but farming and breeding will be. Human beings rely on their own labor to gradually reduce their dependence on nature, and civilization will develop in this process.

Before the farmers who had been busy all day came close to their homes, the strong smell of food drifted into their noses along the night wind. Smelling this fragrance, and seeing the busy females and cubs rolling around the campfire, somehow Yes, the males who were so tired that they couldn't stand up suddenly felt that most of their exhaustion had gone.

Since most of the strong laborers in the clan are constantly rotating under the command of Lige, there are fewer types of dinner meat, but no matter whether it is meat or wild vegetables, the amount is sufficient.

In order to reward the clansmen who had worked hard all day, the females who were preparing dinner tried their best to make flowers for the dinner.

The wounded people of the wilderness tribe, these few days have been fed with good food and drink without having to work. The orcs of the tribe spontaneously helped prepare the dinner together.

On the shelf next to the fire is a large piece of honey barbecue, the slate tenderloin is slicked with oil, and the strong hot pot ingredients are cooked in the big pot, thin slices of raw meat, mushrooms, wild vegetables, bamboo shoots, potatoes, ginger Pieces are piled up on the plate, and what you want to eat is cooked by yourself. In the few remaining pottery pots, rich bone broth is boiled. Whether it is drinking soup to eat meat or cracking open the bone to suck the bone marrow, you can eat as you like. You can’t eat enough There are still a bunch of them on the ground.

In the tribe, the only thing that doesn't need to be ordered is the meal. The orcs fight each other, for fear that if they are one step too late, what they see will be snatched away by someone nearby.

The big dogs were a little reserved at first, feeling that they hadn’t put in much effort, and they were ashamed to grab food from those who had worked all day, but they were soon drawn into the food grabbing team by the enthusiastic people around them, and became a team of grabbing food. A member of Fan Dajun, Chacha and Eddie enthusiastically taught them how to use chopsticks to grab food quickly, watching the orcs of the Jiufang tribe swing their chopsticks vigorously, in order to fish out of the hot pot. Those delicious ingredients are eaten, and the dogs of the wilderness tribe have recently become popular for practicing chopsticks.

After eating a full meal and drinking the after-dinner sweet soup, the orcs lay down in a pile. After all, it was a day of work, and everyone was a little sleepy.

Seeing the saviors looking tired and paralyzed after eating, the dogs automatically took on the responsibility of washing the dishes.

Sure enough, as Eddie said, the dogs of their tribe are good matchmaking partners. The bachelors of the Jiufang tribe are sleepy and excited when they look at the future husbands and wives who are trying to cook the pot with their buttocks up.

Rigg hugged Charlie's belly hair, lay in the arms of the two fathers, and looked at the prehistoric starry sky along the airy ceiling of the fur tent. He was tired, and fell asleep after watching.

The next day was a continuation of the ridge opening work of the previous day. After a day of study and exercise, the progress of the orcs today was obviously faster than yesterday, but the faster the progress of the orcs, the more strange Rigg looked at them.

He climbed up on Charlie's neck again, and commanded Charlie to run around the field. His eyes first fell on the edge of the isolation belt, and then fell back on the rows of furrows that had been opened. Think of where it is strange.

It turned out that he forgot to draw the stems.

Stacking field ridges may seem inconspicuous, but it is actually quite important. In addition to dividing the field into squares of equal size according to the area, field ridges are also a very important part of irrigation management. For example, a field , both soybeans and rice are planted. Soybeans are drought-tolerant plants, while rice needs to be planted in paddy fields. When irrigating, the ridges of the soybean fields can be sealed on all sides, and the ridges of the rice fields can be dug to let the water flow along. The ditches only irrigate the paddy fields without affecting the soybeans separated by a stalk.Using this method to divide and plant a whole field embodies the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancient working people.

However, Lige only focused on letting the orcs pile up ridges and dig trenches yesterday, and did not divide the entire field, which reduced the utilization rate of the field.

But it’s no wonder Lige, the desolate star he visited in his previous life, although he maintained the primitive farming habits, but even the primitive planet is also a part of Liao Mengxing, although they don’t use fully automatic machinery to farm, but some simple harvesters sow seeds There are still machines and the like, so the division of their fields is very large, and it is easy for people not to notice the existence of the ridges.

The place where Rieger lives now is truly prehistoric. There is no automatic irrigation system, and there is no automatic harvester. When it gets older, let’s just say that when walking in the field, stepping on the ridge of the field will not crush the seedlings.

Fortunately, he had already thought about it, and it was not too late to make up for it. Lige hurriedly asked the orcs to stop what they were doing, and explained to them the function of the ridge. To form a solid ridge, and then divide the ridges in each small field, these orcs completely trusted Rieg, a wise man, and did whatever he told them to do, and started working again with enthusiasm without a word of nonsense.

After working at sunrise and sunset for seven or eight days, Lige's [-]-acre experimental field was finally completed according to his plan.

Standing on the solid ridge in the middle of the ridge, Rieg almost smiled as he imagined the crop seedlings swaying in the wind after breaking through the ground.
