The ripening period of peach shrubs is 5 to 10 days, but on fertile soil with a hundredfold increase in volume, the ripening period is increased a hundredfold.
Therefore, peaches can ripen in just over an hour.
This time, Lin Xu plans to make the fertile soil play a greater role.
If the fruit is not harvested after it ripens, the fertile soil has the opportunity to cause changes in the quality of the fruit and the plant.
So Lin Xu waited for the fruit to ripen again, while also checking the fruit harvested during the previous few growth stages of the grass peaches.
The fruits varied in quality, but they were all full of vitality.
The initial fruit produced by the grass peach was of top quality and fetched a good price when sold.
However, the vitality of the grass peach after the six-fold superposition is a bit too high.
If these peaches were sold directly, they would likely attract unnecessary attention.
Therefore, these types of peaches need to undergo some processing.
The simplest way is to process peaches into juice.
Dilute it several dozen times, and the vitality inside the peach will be reduced to a normal level, but it will still be a high-quality beverage, and the taste will definitely surpass that of ordinary high-quality drinks.
Now that the island world has developed for many years, there are complete sets of simple production lines for this type of processing equipment. Lin Xu plans to find that shop later and ask to customize a simple production line.
If this production line is combined with the current harvest of peach shrubs, it should be able to produce more high-end beverages, which would mean a stable source of income and make development much easier.
However, producing peach juice requires water and bottles.
Even though the peach juice itself is extremely delicious and doesn't need to be sweetened with sugar or other seasonings, water and bottles are still a problem.
Regarding the water source issue, Lin Xu could purchase some water seeds and combine them with his stacking talent to create a permanent water source, which would also solve the island's water problem.
As for the bottle, it's something that generally requires plastic, which is made from petroleum cracking.
This is a rather complicated production chain, requiring mineral veins and seeds to create oil fields.
Given the current conditions on the island, it would be very difficult to complete.
After thinking about it, Lin Xu decided that they could give up using plastic bottles and perhaps plant some bamboo instead.
Based on the current market situation, there is a relatively inexpensive bamboo material that can be easily processed into perfect containers.
If paired with delicious peach juice, it could even become a unique packaging option.
Bamboo production lines are relatively simple and can be easily set up.
However, thinking about this, Lin Xu felt that perhaps he didn't need to make things so complicated.
Because he can avoid selling finished beverages.
After all, to build a complete sales volume, one needs to have a network of shops in the main world or the island world, and such a sales channel is not something a new island owner like him can do.
So why not find a distributor and processor, give up some profits, and sell the peach juice pulp to them?
This way, he wouldn't have to worry about too many production issues, or even sales.
The only thing to consider is how many times the peach juice needs to be diluted to mask its excessive vitality, and whether the seller is reliable and has any means to guarantee profits.
With this in mind, Lin Xu's thinking became much clearer.
Currently, his biggest need for producing peach juice is a stable water source.
The water source seeds are fine, but the key issue is that his territory area is not big enough.
He has already developed the original 100 square meters of land, plus the 100 square meters of land "contributed" by Wang Lei.
To establish a water source for a territory, more land is needed.
"I wonder if anyone else is willing to come and contribute more territory? If I run into a few more people like Wang Lei, I might be able to expand the island to the size of an ordinary island."
As Lin Xu was thinking this, the peach shrubs ahead had already begun to bloom and bear fruit.
Lin Xu had already spent a lot of time when this shrub was formed, so it had already grown for some time.
Lin Xu didn't have to wait long before the first wave of shrubs matured.
Seeing those peaches that were bigger than basketballs, Lin Xu swallowed hard.
These peaches have extremely strong vitality; they can not only prolong life but also prolong youth.
Eating this kind of peach regularly will definitely be very good for your health.
Lin Xu estimates that for some time to come, his main food will be these peaches.
At this time, the peach blossoms wither and fall onto the fertile soil, where they are absorbed by the soil.
The large peaches grew rapidly, emitting an enticing sweet aroma.
Lin Xu resisted the urge to immediately pick it and take a bite, and continued to wait.
He wants to activate the extra properties of the fertile soil to bring about a qualitative change in the already mature plants.
At this point, under his influence, the fertile soil began to consume its nutrients more rapidly.
This consumption is quite astonishing. The original fertile soil, which was multiplied a hundredfold, was enough to grow 100,000 ordinary plants, but now it is being consumed extremely rapidly, almost 10,000 units of fertilizer per second.
Fortunately, the presence of ley lines is rapidly replenishing the fertility lost.
However, if this rate of consumption continues, even ley lines cannot fill this bottomless pit.
Fortunately, the peach shrubs have undergone a rapid transformation under the stimulation of the fertile soil.
The next moment, all the peaches on the tree shrank back extremely quickly and turned back into peach blossoms.
The overall shape of the peach shrub has changed again.
The plant, which was originally emerald green, has now turned tinged with purplish-red.
The entire shrub grew taller, reaching Lin Xu's chest height.
The shrubs also became very lush, and the number of fruits that could grow increased significantly.
Lin Xu checked the information about the shrubs:
A 300-year-old crimson peach shrub
[Introduction: Freak, is there no limit to your creativity?]
Fruit development period: 7-14 days
[Fruit ripening at one time: 50-100 fruits]
【Characteristic 1: The fruit is exceptionally sweet and juicy, large and highly nutritious】
【Characteristic 2: The fruit is rich in vitality, can heal wounds, slow down aging, maintain youth, and long-term consumption will enhance vitality and supernatural power】
【Characteristic 3: Higher chance of producing top-grade superpower fruits】
Lin Xu's eyes widened.
While the characteristics of shrubs have not increased, subtle changes in some terms prove that shrubs have clearly undergone a qualitative change.
"A top-grade superpower fruit? That means it can awaken a top-grade superpower?"
Lin Xu still values superpowers more.
After all, his talent lies in this area, and his superpower can directly enhance his combat power and self-defense capabilities, which is currently the most important thing for him.
Besides the third characteristic, Lin Xu has also set his sights on the second characteristic.
This characteristic, in addition to healing and maintaining youth, also enhances vitality and supernatural abilities.
In the island world, vitality represents something more than just a simple thing.
A vibrant island owner has a greater chance to improve their physical fitness, awaken more supernatural abilities, and also increase their lifespan and various basic qualities.
And if it enhances the power of superpowers, the effect will be even greater.
Because superpowers are very difficult to upgrade, it is said that many island owners have diligently trained for hundreds of years, but their superpower levels have only increased by 2 to 3 levels at most.
The peach bush in front of us can enhance one's supernatural abilities simply by eating its peaches; its value is immeasurable.
Lin Xu was now even more certain that he must not let the matter of the peach shrub spread.
This peach bush had become one of his trump cards, and there was no need for it to be revealed to anyone else.
