49. Forage
When it was time to inspect the planting area for purification, Su Liu took a small train and inspected the areas he was responsible for one by one.
Some crops or weeds that were in the early stages of mutation were easily purified by her.
However, in the field of a second-year planter, a kind of green grass grew and swayed wildly. In just a few minutes, it increased from five centimeters to seven or eight meters in height, and its roots continued to expand deeper into the ground.
This was undoubtedly a precursor to mutation. By the time Su Liu came over on patrol, it was too late. The combat-type psychics had already gathered and were ready to work together to eliminate them.
The planter hid behind Su Liu and shouted in despair, "It was fine this morning, but it's suddenly infected! All the crops I've spent so much time growing are going to be wasted!"
Su Liu carefully distinguished the lush green plants.
It looks a bit like corn leaves, but the linear leaves are thinner and narrower. In the process of crazy growth, the fruits that look like ears of wheat also mature and fall off, developing into a larger population.
If they are not dealt with within five minutes, they can occupy half of the campus.
The grower has collapsed: "My crops, my wheat, my rice, my vegetables -"
The alien plants are already spreading, covering all the farmland, and the strange factors they carry will infect other plants as well.
The crops will be wiped out in the battle, and even the land will have to be reclaimed and cleaned. No wonder the planters are going crazy.
Before the other psychics took action, Su Liu said, "Let me try purification first."
A combat-type psychic was standing not far from Su Liu, raising his weapon towards the alien plants.
"That's too much. You're an F-rank..."
The words stopped there.
He watched Su Liu stretch out his hand, and green balls of light rose into the air. After reaching a certain height, they all "exploded" with a bang. Then countless light spots floated in all directions and gathered into mist until all the alien plants were covered.
In this light, the wildly swaying alien plants gradually calmed down and shrank like comforted babies.
Su Liu was very sure of the species of these exotic plants: Sudan grass.
It is a relatively easy-to-grow and high-yield forage grass. More importantly, it is also one of the high-quality green fodders for fish farming, and can be eaten by cattle, sheep, pigs, horses and other livestock.
It’s simply high-quality forage delivered to your door!
The purification was completed quickly. Su Liu wiped the sweat off his face and turned to ask the psychic: "What's F-level?"
“…” The psychic was speechless.
A group of combat students looked at the seven or eight acres of Sudan grass and felt a little overwhelmed.
Isn't it said that this first-year girl is only an F-level psychic?
Which F-class can quickly purify so many alien plants?
Is the threshold for purifiers so high now?
No matter what others think, Su Liu has discovered a business opportunity.
The biggest characteristic of alien plants is that they reproduce extremely quickly.
If she planted a small patch of Sudan grass, and waited for it to be infected with the strange factor, she would not rush to purify it, but waited until it grew to seven or eight acres, and then quickly "cleared" it.
Wouldn’t this be a perfect solution to the feed problem?
Su Liu felt like he was a genius and couldn't even help laughing out loud.
As a reward for purifying the alien plants, Su Liu took away all the Sudan grass.
The grower was also very loyal and called on his classmates and friends to help Su Liu cut the grass.
"You helped me save all the crops. I'm so grateful to you. I'll give you all this grass. If you can't finish it all at once, I can mobilize some people to make hay for you."
Su Liu was extremely grateful: "I was just worried about having so much fodder. The sheep I have on hand can't eat it all. If it can be made into hay, at least I won't have a shortage of feed for a long time."
After solving the feed problem, the next step is to build your own ranch.
Considering that the piece of mountain land given by the principal was bare with only rocks, Su Liu decided to build a purely natural pasture on his own.
On Saturday morning, three other people from the dormitory were brought to the farm.
Lan Xiang'er pushed her glasses. "You mean to ask us to help carry stones and build a wall so you can raise sheep?"
Rosa said coldly, "We're not even superpowered. Let alone building a wall, even moving stones would break my back."
Yan Ziyan didn't say anything, but just thinking about the amount of work made her feel hopeless.
Su Liu pointed at the valley with great enthusiasm and painted a rosy picture for his roommates.
"The principal said this area is all mine! When you become plantation masters, we can work together to develop this barren mountain. Now is the angel investment stage. The sooner you invest, the sooner you will reap the rewards!"
The three of them looked at each other.
Actually, this makes a lot of sense.
But the problem is, the three of them are really not that good.
Especially Lan Xiang'er and Yan Ziyan, one is a nerd and the other is a young lady.
This kind of hard labor can take their lives in half a day.
Rosa thought for a moment and said, "How about we hire a few earth-type psychics, or those with strength-enhancing abilities, to help us build it?"
This is also a good idea, but Su Liu’s wallet is really tight.
She took out her laptop and checked the balance to show the three of them: "If there's even a penny left, I won't take advantage of you."
"You're too poor." Yan Ziyan said, "How come you don't have any money left from selling luxury goods?"
Speaking of this, Su Liu was about to cry.
After she bought some of the metal, her wallet was in crisis. Even if Luden and the others sold the crystal cores and gave her some of the money, it would not be enough to pay off the balance due to Fu Yanlai.
Seeing that Su Liu was really poor, Lan Xianger took out her laptop to post a message.
"Then we'll collect the money to hire the psychic. But once we become plantation masters, this place will also be considered our inheritance, okay?"
"no problem!"
The three of them pooled their money and recruited a dozen or so people with special abilities on the campus network.
Two hours later, everyone arrived.
During this period, Su Liu designed the blueprints of the farm, the main features of which were: solid and sturdy.
Not to mention that the sheep may mutate at any time, even in this valley, strange beasts may appear.
The breeding farm is to prevent strange beasts from eating sheep, and also to prevent sheep from mutating and running out to attack other growers.
Therefore, the wall must be airtight and, apart from the necessary ventilation, there must not be any extra pores.
The hired psychics collected large stones from the valley, mixed them with cement and steel bars, and built a thick wall that was ten meters high.
The wall alone is nearly two meters thick, and even strange beasts cannot easily knock it over in a short period of time.
Every ten meters or so, special anti-animal glass is built on the wall so that the internal situation of the farm can be observed from the outside.
As for the breeding equipment, a lot of money was spent on purchasing automated feeding equipment, installing environmental and temperature control instruments, and data collection facilities.
Finally, the four of them squatted down and discussed it, and found that their wallets were empty.
Su Liu also discovered that there had been no updates or improvements to the breeding equipment.
"This is so weird. This is how Earth used to feed animals automatically, and it's still the same in the interstellar world. Where's the high-tech farming they promised us?"
