Chapter 164 People Under the Sky City 27
The technology here has been average for thousands of years, and not so good in the 35th century, but the vegetable cultivation is very good, especially hydroponic vegetables, which are environmentally friendly and have high yields, and use pure natural nutrient solution. These will be very helpful for her future time travel. Since she is here, it is okay to learn more.
When she returned, Uncle Qin had already cleared an acre of land for her. Uncle Qin handed Zhang Chengxi over to him. She took the farm tools she had bought and ran to her one acre of land.
Zhang Xiaojia used the farm tools while reading the manual. It was very convenient. Farm tools can be used to open up wasteland, but planting seeds requires people to do it in person, which is not urgent.
After leaving a path for walking on one acre of land, there was still 600 square meters left, which she divided into 20 square plots, each of 30 square meters.
She used the Spiritual Rain Talisman to water the ground. This was a talisman paper designed in the world of immortal cultivation specifically for growing spiritual plants. It would control the amount of spiritual rain according to the moisture content of the air and soil in each place.
Her spiritual power could only activate the spiritual rain talisman on 5 mu of land, and then she saw spiritual rain falling. Heavy rain fell in the water-scarce arid areas, and the rain could soak the surface and penetrate deep into the earth's core in every minute; generally, the land that was not too short of water just had a drizzle; and some lands had enough water, so it didn't rain at all.
It was Zhang Xiaojia's first time using the Spirit Rain Talisman, and she didn't know how to read the ground. She stood in a water-scarce, arid area, and sadly, she was drenched by the rain.
The spiritual rain lasted for an hour. Zhang Xiaojia looked at the land again and felt that the land had become much more fertile. The biggest advantage of the spiritual rain was that you didn't have to water it every day. Just once a week would be enough.
Zhang Xiaojia loosened the soil again with farm tools and looked at Lu Jing's book. After the plowed land was dried for three days, she went home and planned to grow seeds.
Zhang Xiaojia plans to plant root vegetables on twenty plots of land.
Most of the vegetables on the earth are grown hydroponically, and many vegetables are about to become extinct, such as root vegetables like potatoes, sweet potatoes, peanuts, radishes... It's not that they cannot be grown hydroponically, but because the amount of water used is too large and it is not suitable. You won't die or starve if you don't eat them, so if you don't grow them hydroponically, everyone will die without water, and they are not qualified to waste water.
When Zhang Xiaojia returned home, he saw Keke, Zhang Chengxi, Lian Boyuan, and Luo Minger eating barbecue.
Seeing Zhang Xiaojia soaked to the skin, Qiao Ke said speechlessly, "Sister, who wears high heels while farming?"
Zhang Xiaojia sneered and said, "Keke, I remember you haven't been able to go online for a while! Come with me to farm tomorrow."
Zhang Xiaojia took out a watermelon and quickly said, "Chengxi, don't show off your phone by sending it to others."
Zhang Chengxi nodded obediently and said, "Master, can I ask my father to come eat with us?"
Zhang Xiaojia nodded and took out a bottle of osmanthus wine.
Lying in the bathtub, looking at the agricultural encyclopedia compiled by Lu Jing, planting in the living area only requires nutrient solution. Hydroponics and soil planting are just different in proportions. It does not contain chemical ingredients and is all natural, providing pesticides and nutrition in one.
Before planting in soil, the nutrient solution needs to be spread in the field at a ratio of 1:100 and wait for three days. Zhang Xiaojia directly ordered the nutrient solution. She bought the spraying accessories in the morning. Once the drone is installed, she can set the route and spray automatically.
After taking a shower, the agricultural nutrient liquid arrived. According to the instructions, Zhang Xiaojia adjusted the proportion, installed the spray accessories, and set the program. Then he could leave it alone and the drone would automatically fly back to the warehouse.
He walked into the yard, took out a rocking chair from the space grid, sat down, took out a bottle of fruit wine and started drinking.
Zhang Xiaojia looked up in confusion. Why are no one talking?
"What's the matter?"
Jock snorted and said, "What's there to show off?"
Zhang Xiaojia's face was full of question marks. He said unhappily, "Keke, Boyuan, didn't He Fei give you the Space Ball?"
This time it was the two of them's turn to be surprised!
They all said in unison, "Isn't this the space cover for Feijia's car?"
Zhang Xiaojia said lazily, "No! This is a space ball. It's not too big, only 1,000 cubic meters. Press the green button to store things, and press the red button to display what you want to take out. Put it away. There are not many of these space balls. He Fei said that the resources for this Earth are not enough, unless we can find another galaxy."
Zhang Chengxi looked at it with envy, with desire in his eyes, but he was very obedient and did not ask for it.
Zhang Xiaojia directly gave one to him and Luo Ming'er each, and said, "Xiao Chengxi, Ming'er, this is a small space ball, only 200 cubic meters, for you to put toys, clothes and jewelry." She had a lot of them, and the whole RV was full of space balls.
"Thank you, Patriarch."
Luo Minger didn't expect that she also had it. She said excitedly, "Thank you, big sister."
A dreamless night
Zhang Xiaojia has been very busy these days.
Zhang Xiaojia asked Uncle Qin for some wooden strips and boards. She took the carpentry tools and cut the boards into 20 small rectangles. She then cut the wooden strips into similar sizes, smoothed the rough ones, and worked hard to nail them into a batch of signs. She wrote the name of the vegetable on each sign, otherwise, she would forget what the vegetable was.
She knew nothing and was reading books and watching videos to learn the first step of planting - sowing.
Planting radishes is relatively simple. The seeds must be planted by people themselves, and other work can be done with farm tools. To set up the farm tools, the first step is to use the farm tools to create ridges with a height of 20 cm; the second step is to draw furrows on the ridges with a depth of about 0.5 cm. Zhang Xiaojia then has to evenly spread the seeds into the trenches and fill them up. Just wait until the seedlings emerge, with a distance of five centimeters between each seedling.
Carrots, white radishes, cherry radishes and sand radishes were planted on the four plots of land.
Tubers such as sweet potatoes and potatoes are more troublesome to plant.
First, the sweet potatoes and potatoes need to be germinated in advance. Before planting, the germinated potatoes and sweet potatoes need to be cut into several small pieces. Make sure that each piece has two or three young sprouts, and bury them in the soil with the cut surface facing down. As long as the seeds must be done by people themselves, and the seeds cannot be harvested by relying on agricultural tools and robots, I don’t know if there is something wrong with the seeds. It’s so pretentious.
Zhang Xiaojia grows eight varieties of sweet potatoes and potatoes (red and yellow potatoes, black potatoes, mini potatoes, chestnut sweet potatoes, red potatoes, ice cream sweet potatoes, and violet sweet potatoes).
She was exhausted, but fortunately, she could use machines for everything in the future and no longer had to go to the fields herself. Zhang Xiaojia breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Xiaojia sat on the ground without any image. After so many time traveling through time, this was his first time farming. These jobs were really tiring.
There are still eight plots of land left. Zhang Xiaojia plans to plant fruit trees, but these need He Fei to plant them into small trees in He Fei's space first, and then plant them in the ground~~~
So, she planted cherry tomatoes first, with each plot of land being one variety. Unfortunately, she accidentally mixed up the labels, and now she can't tell what variety of cherry tomatoes is in that plot of land.
Uncle Qin came over, handed her a cup of tea, and said, "Jiabao! Let's try something else. It took you ten days to plant an acre of land. If we rely on you like this, we'll all be starving. We haven't planted much land yet, but your farm tools have already filled up the warehouse."
A typical example of a poor student who has a lot of stationery.
Zhang Xiaojia said unconvincedly, "Uncle Qin, look, I've already planted the land. Of course it's a bit slow the first time, but I'll be faster next time."
Uncle Qin sighed and said, "Jia Jia, after the germination, we need to pull out the extra seedlings and divide them into sections. These tasks must be done by humans. Machines and robots cannot replace them."
Zhang Xiaojia said stubbornly, "Uncle Qin, please stop trying to persuade me. I've made up my mind. After I collect all the meteorites, I'll start farming. As for the rest, I'll just focus on the general direction."
